The Filmistan Connection

Arjun Rampal gifts Nicole Kidman a sari after they shot for an advertisement in Udaipur directed by Shekhar Kapoor. R Balakrishnan, director of Cheeni Kum, is making another film and it might be Filmistan’s Benjamin Button? After ‘No Smoking’, awesome movie by the way, Anurag Kashyap and John Abraham join forces again for Bombay Velvet. [...]

We don’t want to come off as a couple of really frustrated individuals, but if we do then well…we are! We’re rather concerned about Filmistan and its future. It’s disheartening to see that nepotism is a common practice in Filmistan— not to those who benefit from it of course, but to us it is. It’s [...]

Sorry humfilmis, we haven’t been able to blog for a while because of finals. But that is behind us now because we’re finally done with school…for a long time! As Shammi Kapoor would say, “Yaaahooo!!” And now for some recent Filmistan news: Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta were recently seen at an IPL auction meet. [...]

Raj and Simran are still going strong! It’s been 700 weeks. Priety Zinta had a snake for a co-star. Weinstein Company purchased the remake rights of Yaavarum Nalam and its Hindi remake, 13B.

All filmis know about the relationship between Karan and Adi, Aditya Chopra, and hence the relationship between Dharma Productions and Yash Raj Films. Yash Raj Films had been distributing Karan’s films since Kuch Kuch Hota Hai–his first film. But for the next two productions–Ayaan Mukherjee’s Wake Up Sid and Rensil D’Silva’s film, untitled as of [...]

A lot of the time we have and most likely will forgo posting pictures of Filmistanis endorsing or launching a product because it’s usually quite uneventful. But, seeing this photograph of Kareena at the unveiling of the ‘Anne French Roll On’ (if that’s not hilarious enough…unveiling…oh the beauty of advertisement), we saw this– It’s just [...]
