3 Idiots unofficially titled as Film of the Year

Aamir Khan has done it again! The actor who won applauses and bagged maximum moolah with Ghajini last year, has emerged a clear winner this year too with his maverick act in ‘3 Idiots’. Playing the uber cool Rancho, the actor has not only floored fans worldwide but has also earned appreciation from his peers.

With many filmmakers vouching for “3 Idiots” as their favourite flick this year, it has unanimously won the unofficial title of the ‘Film of the Year’.

With directors like David Dhawan, Sriram Raghavan, Raj Kumar Santoshi, Rohit Shetty, Kunal Deshmukh, Karan Johar ranking “3 Idiots” as their top choice this year, the film is surely headed for a smashing show at the Filmfare Awards.

Talking about his favourite film, David Dhawan told, “3 Idiots is the best-written and best-directed film of the year. It has a great entertainment value”. Joining him is Sriram Raghavan who says he loved the film and said, “Maybe because I’m an idiot myself”.

And it’s not just the direction that has the filmmakers talking; these taskmasters are appreciating almost every aspect of the film. Talking about the film, Raj Kumar Santoshi said, “My favourite film of 2009 is ‘3 Idiots’. Good entertainment with a strong message. Fantastic performances, excellent script and direction”.

Seconding his peers’ choice, Rohit Shetty too echoed the general notion. “3 Idiots- is my film of the year for sure. There are very few films that make you feel good and happy. This is one of them”, he said.

Well, Aamir Khan seems to have got his reward already.

“My favourite film of 2009 is ‘3 Idiots’. Good entertainment with a strong message. Fantastic performances, excellent script and direction”, quoted Raj Kumar Santoshi

Aamir Khan joins Punjab wedding ceremony

Village-girl Ramandeep Kaur in Punjab’s border district of Faridkot did not have anything in common with well-known cricketer Sourav Ganguly till Saturday. Not until Aamir Khan, disguised as a documentary filmmaker from abroad, landed up at her village on the eve of her wedding.

The bride and her family of Churchak village near Jagraon could not in their wildest dreams imagine that the disguised filmmaker was none other than the Bollywood star until he told them so himself.

The actor had last week played a similar prank at Ganguly’s house after he landed up in Kolkata disguised as a fan of the former Indian cricket captain.

Dressed as a hippie-looking foreigner visiting India for documentary filmmaking, Aamir attended the pre-wedding celebrations in Kaur’s village near Jagraon town, 250 km from Chandigarh.

"Aamir Khan came to the wedding functions. Initially, we were told that he was a documentary maker. When his real identity was revealed, there was even greater joy and excitement in the household and the entire village”, said Ramandeep’s father Jasvir Singh.

Ramandeep’s wedding to groom Gurjit Singh was solemnised Sunday as per Sikh religious rites.

The winter chill of north India did not stop Aamir from being part of the rural wedding ceremonies Saturday night for over two hours despite having reported sick just a day earlier at Jaipur.

The trip, of course, was part of Aamir’s ongoing promotion of his yet to be released film ‘3 Idiots’.

"Some people approached us a few days back that someone wanted to shoot a rural wedding. That person came as a commoner and was treated as any other guest. Only later we were told that he is Aamir Khan," said Jasvir Singh, a farmer and landlord.

The actor not only sang and danced with men and women at the wedding but also ate dinner with them. He even gifted a ring to the bride after the “Mehendi” ceremony.

He left only past midnight - perhaps headed for another undisclosed location in disguise.

Kareena reveals her secret diet that keeps her super fit

Bollywood has been bitten by the fitness bug where male brigade is running after sculpted abs and their female counterparts are leaving no stone unturned to attain sexy svelte avatar. Known for her vivacious disposition and much hyped size zero figure, Kareena Kapoor is one of the fittest divas of Bollywood.

Kareena Kapoor, who is working for Raj Kumar Hirani’s much touted project 3 Idiots, is shooting in the extreme conditions at Panagong Lake in Kashmir.

With the rest of the crew members gasping for breath, feeling giddy and feeble, thanks to the low levels of oxygen at high altitudes, Kareena is super fit, courtesy her special diet.

Kareena has been following a strict diet regimen prepared by famous nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar. "It’s tough working in extreme climactic conditions. Fortunately, I am surviving because of my yoga and diet, which I change according to the climate of the area where I shoot." Said Kareena.

According to Rujuta, "I had given her a diet rich in carbohydrates as Pangong and Ladakh are low in oxygen. Carbs give oxygen and allow her body to burn fat. Also the shooting is hectic, so she needs her calories. Kareena is eating the local staple diet of the Ladakhis Thukpa (noodle soup), goat cheese, momos, and Leh berries (made from the juice of seabuckthorn, which are rich anti-oxidants and good fat burners."

Well, now it’s clear that a strict diet regimen is the secret behind Kareena’s super sexy figure.

Kareena has no plans to enter IPL

Bollywood actresses Preity Zinta, Juhi Chawla and Shilpa Shetty are trying their luck in the business of cricket through the Indian Premier League (IPL), but Kareena Kapoor says she has no such plan.

Kareena says, “I have no idea about business. I only know how to act. As for business, I will think about it five years later”.

These days Kareena is busy working for forthcoming films Kambakth Ishq, Main Aur Mrs. Khanna, Three Idiots and an untitled Renzil D'Silva project.
