1. It’s Official, ‘Dangal’ Is the Biggest Bollywood Blockbuster
Aamir Khan has crossed another milestone and cracked yet another box-office record with his latest wrestling drama Dangal. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari has crossed Aamir’s own record holding blockbuster PK by collecting over Rs 340 crore in India since its release on 23 December, 2016.
2. Priyanka Chopra brings ‘the Gold’ to the Golden Globes
India’s poster girl at the 74th Golden Globes was our very own Piggy Chops or Priyanka Chopra. It’s no wonder that Priyanka Chopra showed up as a golden girl herself, what with Quantico season one being a hit, and Baywatch set to trump it.
Priyanka Chopra co-presented the evening's second award with The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan. She was seen shimmering in gold in a metallic Ralph Lauren dress accessorised with a pendant.
3. Aaradhya & Azad Dancing is the Cutest Thing You Will See Today
It’s always a delight to see kids perform and this one was no different. It was annual day Aaradhya and Azad’s school and they were spotted performing. Just like all the other parents, Aishwarya, Abhishek and Kiran, Aamir were as thrilled to see their little ones on stage. They were taking pictures of their children and dancing with them too. It’s always so wonderful to see these stars in the real world as real people isn’t it?
4. Cute Alert! Saif Ali Khan Poses With Taimur’s First Portrait
Baby Taimur has been born into stardom and his adoring parents can’t get enough of him. Just a few days old, Taimur Ali Khan has already had his first portrait sketched. Aunt Soha Ali Khan took to social media to share a pic of Saif holding his sleeping newborn’s portrait.
5. Sanskari Stardust: Iulia Vantur Sings for ‘Virgin Boy’ Salman Khan
I’ve come to a conclusion; there is no difference between glitzy awards nights and the popular talk show Koffee With Karan. An annual jaded affair, without any drastic revelation – who is dating whom, who belongs to which Bollywood camp, and steering away from any political comments. Otherwise Raj Thackeray police bula legi.
So when Stardust Awards 2016 awards was telecast on Sunday evening amidst the usual fanfare – Bachchans parivar seated next to each other, Kapoors (Neetu and Rishi) were placed together, meanwhile, beta Kapoor sat a few seats away. The sad editing shots where Priyanka Chopra seem to have one expression for every performance and award (so much for being a global icon). And the stunning Rekha winning her 11th lifetime award (err, that’s less of an award and more of a record).
But the most unusual thing about the award show was how it turned into a Sooraj Barjatya Award show, high on sanskari quotient. Pahlaj Kaka, was this your doing??
There were a few filmy moments that were the highlights of the evening.
