Salman, Dia & Katrina in News ...
سلمان خان کا دبنگسلمان خان کی دبنگئی کام کر گئی۔ ان کی فلم نے باکس آفس پر عامر خان کی فلم ’تھری ایڈیٹس‘ کا بھی ریکارڈ توڑ دیا۔ پہلے ہی دن دبنگ نے چودہ کروڑ روپیوں کا بزنس کر لیا۔
بالی وڈ کے تجزیہ نگاروں کو حیرت ہے کہ مزاح سے بھرپور فلم تھری ایڈیٹس جس کی کہانی لائن تھی۔ ایک مقصد اور پیغام دیا گیا تھا، اسے ایک ایسی فلم نے باکس آفس پر پچھاڑ دیا جو محض ایک مصالحہ فلم تھی۔ ملٹی پلیکس میں بھی لوگوں کو سیٹیاں اور تالیاں بجاتے دیکھا گیا تھا۔ ویسے ان تجزیہ نگاروں کا ماننا ہے کہ فلم کی کامیابی کا پورا سہرا صرف سلمان خان کے سر باندھا جا سکتا ہے جنہوں نے عامر خان کے نقش قدم پر چل کر فلم کی تشہیر کا ذمہ لیا تھا نتیجہ سامنے ہے کہ سلو اپنے پرستاروں کو باکس آفس تک لانے میں آخر کامیاب ہو ہی گئے۔
خان کی عید پارٹی
سلمان خان نے اپنی فلم دبنگ کی شاندار کامیابی کے ساتھ عید کے موقع پر پارٹی دی۔
ویسے عید کے موقع پر سلمان خان اور فیملی کی پارٹی بالی وڈ میں مشہور ہے لیکن اس مرتبہ کی پارٹی کچھ الگ تھی اور کیسے نہیں ہوتی جب کہ شاہ رخ کیمپ کے سٹارز اور ان کے دوست اب سلو کے کیمپ میں نظر آئے۔
شاہ رخ کیمپ کی طاقت اس وقت سے ٹوٹنا شروع ہوئی جب سے فرح خان اور شاہ رخ کے درمیان دوریاں بڑھنے لگی اور فرح نے سلو کیمپ میں داخلہ لیا۔ آگے کا تو پتہ نہیں لیکن اس وقت بالی وڈ میں سلو کا دبنگ ہی کام کر رہا ہے۔
دیا کا پروڈکشن ہاؤس
دیا مرزا نے زید خان کے ساتھ مل کر اپنا پروڈکشن ہوم بنا لیا ہے۔یہ کوئی چونکانے والی بات نہیں ہے۔ اب پروڈکشن ہاؤس بنا ہے تو کوئی فلم ضرور بنائے گا، یہ بھی بنا رہے ہیں اور پہلی ہی فلم میں دیا مرزا اور زید خان کے بطور ہیرو ہیروئین کے کام کریں گے۔
اور تو اور اس فلم کی ہدایت دیا کے بوئے فرینڈ ساحل سنگھا دیں گے۔ چلیئے فیملی ہوم پروڈکشن کمپنی میں سب کو اپنا اپنا کام مل گیا۔ یہ ٹھیک ہے اب جب کہ دونوں اداکاروں کو فلم نہیں مل رہی ہے اور جو فلمیں آرہی ہیں وہ بھی فلاپ۔ تو دونوں نے سوچا کہ چلو اپنے پروڈکشن ہاؤس کی فلم بنائیں شاید وہ کامیاب ہو ہی جائے۔ ہاں اب یہ چونکانے والی بات ہو شاید۔
ذاتی سوال نہیں
قطرینہ کیف نے اب میڈیا اور خود کے درمیان ایک لکیر کھینچ لی ہے ' کوئی ذاتی سوال نہیں '۔ویسے اتنا سخت فیصلہ کیٹ نے اس وقت لیا جب ایک نجی ایئرلائنز کے برانڈ سفیر ہونے پر میڈیا کے روبرو ایک صحافی نے سوال کر دیا کہ سلمان نے میڈیا کو بتایا ہے کہ وہ اب سنگل ہیں آپ کیا کہتی ہیں؟
ایک لمحے کے لیے سکتے میں آئی کیٹ نے کہہ دیا کہ اگر سلو اکیلے ہیں تو وہ بھی سنگل ہیں۔ دیکھنے والوں نے بتایا کہ اس کے بعد سیٹ کے پیچھے کیٹ کے آنسو تھے کہ تھمنے کا نام نہیں لے رہے تھے۔ تب سے کیٹ نے فیصلہ کیا ہے کہ وہ اب کسی بھی طرح کے ذاتی سوال کا جواب نہیں دیں گی۔ ویسے بے بی پہلے آپ اپنے بوائے فرینڈ یا سابقہ بوائے فرینڈ ، دیکھا ہم یہیں پریشان ہیں کہ آپ دونوں کے رشتے کی سچائی کیا ہے تو اسی لیے میڈیا بھی سچ جاننے کے لیے سوال کرے گا ہی ناں! آپ کو ہر حال میں ایسے سوالات کا سامنا تو کرنا ہی پڑے گا کیونکہ آپ شو بزنس کا حصہ جو ہیں۔
Salman puts foot in mouth with 26-11 comments, apologises
Actor Salman Khan publicly apologized on Sunday evening for his controversial remarks about the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai. Salman's comments, that the Pakistani government was not involved in the attack and that the coverage was hyped only because "elite'' people were targeted, raised an outcry in several quarters, including the state government and political parties. In an interview given to a Pakistani television channel, Salman, who is no stranger to controversy, was asked about the anti-Pakistan sentiment in India following the attack. Salman replied, "Everybody knew the (Pakistani) government was not behind it and that it was a terrorist attack.'' He also said the 26/11 strike got hyped because "it was the elite that were targeted this time, five-star hotels and all. So they panicked. Then they got up and spoke about it. My question is why not before. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about them so much''. He also added that there have been attacks in the country from within, but much importance was given to 26/11 and a hue and cry was made over it. Nobody cared about the poor, he added. When the Sena, BJP and other parties demanded a public apology from Salman for his "ill-informed and insensitive'' comments, the actor tweeted that in the future he would himself record all his interviews so that there was no scope for controversy. Salman Khan's remarks upset city cops too However, after his father, noted writer Salim Khan, remarked that his son should apologize, Salman said he was sorry if he had hurt anyone's sentiments. Film industry insiders said the real reason Salman subsequently decided to apologize was that the controversy would have adversely affected public response to his latest release Dabangg. The Sena was the first to demand a public apology from the star. Sena spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut said Salman forgot that the poor and policemen were also targeted by the terrorists at CST, Cama Hospital and Nariman House. "26/11 was a Pakistani attack on the nation. It is absurd on the part of Khan to state that it was an attack on the elite. Also, Khan should not have given an interview to a Pakistani TV channel when Indian channels are banned in Pakistan and Indian artistes cannot perform in that country. He should offer a public apology,'' Raut asserted.The BJP joined the chorus of protest, with the general secretary of the party's state unit, Vinod Tawde, stating that Salman had insulted the memory of all those who lost their lives on 26/11. "Khan has not uttered a word about the train and bus blasts or 26/11 in the past. But to give frivolous comments to a Pakistani channel is highly deplorable,'' Tawde said. Maharashtra deputy chief minister Chagan Bhujbal, who belongs to the NCP, said Salman's comments were ill-formed and he should have avoided it. He said people from all walks of life were targeted by the Pakistani terrorists during the November siege. Salman's views also created a wave of resentment in the city police, who said that the actor had not only displayed his ignorance about 26/11, but also showed his insensitivity towards those who had been martyred. "So many policemen and NSG commandos lost their lives bravely battling the Pakistanis. Khan has insulted their memory,'' a senior IPS official observed. Condemning the actor's remarks, special prosecutor in the 26/11 trial, Ujwal Nikam, said Salman's statements were "childish''. Nikam, who successfully secured a guilty verdict against the lone surviving 26/11 terrorist, Ajmal Kasab, said the trial had proved that the attack was meticulously planned in Pakistan and the targets were carefully selected by the terrorists. "It was an act of war,'' he added. Salman first tweeted, "Every human life has equal value n any act of terror, anywhere in the world is unpardonable. be it 9/11 or 26/11.'' He also said that the interview had been presented in a "wrong manner''. He later said, "I gave an interview about three weeks ago. Now during this festive time of Eid and Ganesh utsav it has been twisted around and the way it is coming across on tv it is sound insensitive (sic). I was just saying that all lives are equal whether rich or poor. Some attacks may get more media coverage than the others. Why is that? I think every human being is important. Any act of terrorism (in) any part of the world is unpardonable. A terrorist has no nationality. No religion. No guts. I have and always will have faith in our intelligence agencies. I have always had faith in our armed forces and police force. I did not mean to hurt anyone's sentiments and if I have hurt anybody's sentiments I am really sorry.'' Not many in the film industry, except for filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, came out in support of the actor. Bhatt said, "When political fanatics bury themselves within legitimate political parties and begin to strangle freedom of speech under the garb of patriotism, liberty is endangered. However flawed, Salman has a right to express his world view without fear.
You may not agree with him, but you can't take away from him the right to have a dissenting view. Are we going to be told by self-proclaimed patriots what to feel, what to think and what to say? Salman and his entire family are patriots to the core. It is heartbreaking to see him being crucified.'' He wrote on microblogging site Twitter: "Every human life has equal value and any act of terror, anywhere in the world is unpardonable. Be it 9/11 or 26/11." "Next time mein apnne sub interview khud bhi record karoonga, kya bolte ho? Takeh yeh sub controversies nahi ho (from now on I will record all my interviews so that such controversies don't happen)," he added.
