Aug 13, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

Bollywood actress and former model Deepika Padukone is all set for her new release “Finding Fanny”. The lady was recently seen in Mumbai on Monday, August 11, 2014, releasing the first song of the movie with rest of the crew.

While director Homi Adajania and co-star Arjun Kapoor was also present at the event, no one could take their eyes off Deepika, who seemed to be totally at ease, enjoying her popularity.

Adorning a wrap dress with floral front from the brand Forever 21, the “Ram Leela” star looked stunning, despite not going loud with the look. She chose the print and colored well, and her dimpled smile did rest of the look.

The Forever 21 dress was completed with flat sandals with plenty of detailing coupled with simple makeup and well done hair up-do. No wonder she had no issues doing the skin show, but with nice subtlety, which worked wonders.

Deepika’s jewelry was straight out of the movie, where she plays the character named “Angie”. With her curvaceous body and amazing charm at the event, she clearly surprised everyone with the shutterbugs busy taking her images.

Directed by Homi Adajania, “Finding Fanny” has been produced by Maddock Films and has a running time of 90 minutes.

The star cast includes veteran names like Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia, and Pankaj Kapur. The film has been shot in English and Hindi and revolves around finding “Fanny”, who is Naseeruddin Shah’s love in the movie. More like the modern road trip, the film belongs to the multiplex audiences.

Deepika and Arjun shared some cosy moments

Photos and video: Nargis Fakhri suffers Wardrobe Malfunction at Indian Bridal Fashion Week

Aug 11, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

Indian model and actress Nargis Fakhri had an unexpected oops moment at one of the fashion shows at the ongoing Indian Bridal Fashion Week on August 10, 2014.

The actress was seen walking the ramp for jewelry brand Azva for which she was the show stopper.

As she was about to make her ramp walk, the slit in her gown just snapped from the middle, ending up exposing more than she was intending to.

The 34-year-old model, who debuted with Ranbir Kapoor starrer “Rockstar”, seemed to look her best as walked the ramp in a very beautiful Nikhil Thampi gown, but at the last moment, a model stepped on her dress.

Bollywood wardrobe malfunctions are quite common, with many actresses having their faux pas at different events. Most recently, a professional showstopper like Kangana Ranaut tripped at one of the shows held in Mumbai.

Nargis, as professional as she can be, used the cape of the gown to cover up for the unwanted skin show.

After the show ended, she told the reporters there, “Somebody stepped on my dress and I started laughing and I could not stop laughing. I laugh when I get nervous.”

Nargis must be applauded for taking the wardrobe malfunction quite to her side. Videos from the event show her laughing and giggling as the incident happened.

The actress was recently seen in the Salman Khan starrer Bollywood superhit “Kick” in an item song. She has also played roles in movies like “Madras Café” and “Main Tera Hero”.

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Box-Office Collection Total Worldwide Report

Aug 9, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

The much awaited, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ created a stir on Thursday, August 7, 2014 when it was released. The movie started its weekend with a bang, earning $4.6 million. It has given a splendid performance at the box office and is sure to do even better in the coming days.

There are a few other movies also lined up for this weekend but the Ninjas have the power to over shadow all and come out victorious. Though the sad part is that the film does not have much to be compared to but it is being compared to the last year’s hit, ‘Wolverine’.

Wolverine earned a handsome amount of $4 million on its opening Thursday while TMNT has made even more, $4.6 million. The later is a kid friendly property and the idea that it isn’t a sequel but an entirely “new” composition makes it all the more special and worth a watch.

Keeping in lieu the profits that the ‘Wolverine’ made last year if the movie continues to go as planned and as things seem currently the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will reach robust start of $61 million.

By the end of the weekend it should be able to hit the $80 million benchmark.

Expected to be as big as possible the audiences are already going crazy over the release and are rushing to the theatres to watch the Ninjas play their moves. The other movies with the Ninjas have always been big hits and this time its going to be huge.

Aug 7, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

Bollywood film “Entertainment” starring Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia is all set to get a wide release worldwide on August 8, 2014.

Apart from the lead actors, Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia, there are veterans like Mithun Chakraborty, Johnny Lever, Krishna Abhishek, while Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood would play the villains.

Promoted as a “Woof” story, the plot revolves around the dog named “Entertainment”, who has been declared the heir of property by Akshay’s father! What follows is a romantic and comic turn of twists, where Akshay tries his best to defeat the dog.

Directed by debutant duo Sajid-Farhad, the movie has been produced by Ramesh S. Taurani of Tips films along with Jayantilal Gada. The movie was earlier titled as “It’s Entertainment”, which the makers have changed to “Entertainment”.

For the first time in a movie, the name of the Dog “Junior” will be appearing ahead of Akshay Kumar.

The screen count for “Entertainment” is not yet confirmed, but should be more than 3,000. With Salman Khan Starrer “Kick” going strong at the box office, the Akshay Kumar starrer may have to suffer some dent.

The first day collections of “Entertainment” should be anywhere more than 10 crores, given the large level promotions that have been done. The movie needs to get a strong word of mouth to continue impressively over the weekend.

With a “Dog” being portrayed as the hero, many of the animal circles have expressed their happiness over the trailer, which was revealed by Union Minister and animal activist Meneka Gandhi herself.

Pak vs SL 1st Test 2014: Ten Cricket, PTV Sports live streaming info & score

Aug 7, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

For the first test that sparked off on August 6, 2014 at Galle International Stadium, Pakistan shined back to action on the first day, much thanks to Younis Khan, who remained on the line at 133.

Misbah-ul-Haq had chosen to bat, and Pakistan soon found itself out of control with both openers leaving within the first six overs.

Watch the live streaming of fixtures, for both ODI and Tests on PTV official channel in Pakistan. The live streaming can be watched on PTV Official website in Pakistan at http://sports.ptv.com.pk/LiveStreaming.asp or HERE.

Fans around the world can keep an eye on ESPN official website for ball-by-ball commentary of the tests and ODIs.

Watch the live broadcast of the match on the following channels in respective countries.

Pakistan – PTV and Geo Sports
Sri Lanka- CSN and MTV Sports
India- Ten Sports
UK- Star Life OK

Much to the thanks of Younis Khan, the team revived as he continued action all by himself to score that massive century.

At 19 for 2, Pakistan probably had it all wrong, till the time Younis and Azhar Ali revived the game. Younis teamed up well with skipper Misbah and Asad Shafiq.

Sri Lanka will be happy with Rangana Herath who did manage to get the Pakistan skipper and Azhar Ali, but couldn’t get hold of Younis, who remained unstoppable. Also for the home team, Dhammika Prasad was in form.

Azhar did his part of the struggle, but had some great cover drives fours worth checking for. While Prasad did maintain the pressure, the boundaries did help Pakistan gain some momentum.

It’s not surprising to see Younis take the time he needs, but he keep using his sweep action to ensure the spinners did feel the heat.

Dilruwan Perera must have checked on those successful runs in consecutive deliveries. With Parera, it was 48 off the 43 balls for Younis. When Younis was at 68, Mahela Jayawardene got hands on the catch, but sadly dropped the same.

Shafiq came in much later but didn’t spare the bowlers with the bad deliveries by any teams. For Pakistan, the rotating strike remained one of the highlights of the day.

At the end of the day, it was Shafiq at 55* and Younis at 133*, with the total score at 261 for 4 for Pakistan.

On the other side of the world, India will take on England in the 4th Test. Follow the Ind vs Eng live scores here.

For a baseball match that happened between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers on August 4, 2014, it was model Kate Upton who had a special souvenir from boyfriend and Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander!

Yes, Verlander tossed her a baseball during the match, catching everyone and Upton by surprise. The popular model was sitting right behind the dugout, watching her boyfriend play close.

The 22-year old Upton was present for the entire match, however, she missed to be the lucky charm for the Detroit Tigers, who were defeated by Yankees 2-1.

Upton and Verlander started dating back in 2013, but broke up soon after, according to the rumor mills. She was then linked with Makism Chmerkovskiy, the star from “Dancing With the Stars”. However, when she spent her 22nd birthday with Justin, all rumors went silent.

For those who have missed the baseball match, they would love the video where the one of the most desirable women in the world was having her own blushing moment.

Upton has also been in the news for her weight gain issues, sparking off pregnancy rumors.

According to a report published on International Business Times, Upton was spotted shopping for a loose fitting dress with model friend Lily Aldridge, owing to weight gain, which is being related to pregnancy by tabloid The Hollywood Gossip!

No matter what, gaining a ball at the court has certainly made the 22-year old happy, and we hope fans are going passé this weight gain and pregnancy thing!

1.2 billion usernames, passwords from 420,000 websites stolen

Aug 6, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

In what is being seen as one of the biggest hacks on the web ever, a gang of hackers from Russia have reportedly stolen 1.2 billion usernames and passwords from more than 420,000 websites around the globe.

A report on Trak says that although the hackers haven’t sold the information as yet, they have been using the usernames and passwords for spamming social media of the owners.

The details on hacking was discovered by a Milwaukee based security & risk management company named Hold Security, which has a released a blog post on the same.

The gang of Russian hackers has allegedly used SQL Injection method for getting access to the usernames and passwords.

The report further says that close to 4.5 billion records are with the hackers, which includes half billion email addresses and passwords.

Close to 420,000 websites are known to be in under the threat.

Citing non-disclosure agreements with the concerned websites, Hold Security didn’t reveal the names but mentioned there are both small and large websites around the world.

The heist was further established by New York Times that has used security experts to analyze the condition, and the confirmations on the same have come.

Also, many of the large websites are already known to the hack and have been updating their systems.

Given that hackers have targeted the websites that come with SQL protection, website owners should check on SQL Injections at the earliest.

Users should change their passwords as early as possible with new ones having numbers and characters, and must have separate passwords for website and emails.
