“Our songs are an open book for fans to understand where we are, and we try to keep things honest.” – JoSH
‘Pyaar Ho Gaya’ is their new single and JoSH is their name. Yes, Rup and Q are back and not only are they louder and prouder but they are also taking the music world by storm yet again. The pair has, in recent years, collaborated with renowned artistes such as Nelly Furtado, Rishi Rich and [...]
Check out the other faces of Delhi Belly!
Produced by Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao and Ronnie Screwvala, Delhi Belly has been dubbed a “kamina comedy” and a film which breaks out of the Bollywood mould. With the promos and the songs making this movie heavily anticipated by audiences and industry folk a like, could it be that Aamir Khan’s Midas Touch has a [...]
Vivek on the Forbes Asian Heroes Philanthrophy list
Having a big heart may sound a little filmi but it seems our favourite stars really do have hearts of gold when it comes to helping the less fortunate. One such celebrity is Vivek Oberoi.

Bollyspice talks to the wonderful British Asian singer Avina Shah
Ever wondered which non-Bollywood track would be ruling the airwaves this summer? Perhaps one should look Avina Shah’s way.

Shah first came onto the British Asian music scene [...]
Always Kabhi Kabhi
Shah Rukh Khan produced Always Kabhi Kabhi‘s first look has perhaps sealed the movie’s fate. However, the music of such a film should and always does come with big expectations. Does the soundtrack need to be upbeat to reflect the youthfulness of the film? Or can it get away with being averagely impression-making to ease [...]
Amitabh Bachchan Launches Bachchan Bol in UK
Ever tried “vogging”? Yes, you’re reading that right. It’s a term coined by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan meaning vocal blogging. Bachchan Bol, a vogging service, was launched in India last year by the legendary actor. The service allows monthly users to listen to Bachchan’s voice daily where he blogs in voice, so to speak. Mr. Bachchan [...]
Gangster Vivek is back!
The rumour mills have only just died down about this Prince being a part of Dhoom 3, but it seems this actor’s career is most definitely on the up. Vivek Oberoi has been most appreciated for the characters he plays that are raw, real and rugged. It seems his voice and rough look suit these [...]
Love U…Mr Kalakaar!
It’s difficult not to have a few expectations from a movie made under the Rajshri banner. With blockbusters such as Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hai Koun and, more recently, Vivaah to its name, the latest venture no doubt has a lot to live up to. With the typical Rajshri attributes to keep to and [...]
Shiney Ahuja tells his side of the story
Shiney Ahuja. You’d be forgiven if the first thought that came into your mind when reading this name was about his current court case.

Arjun Rampal talks about his journey from model to National Award winner
“Good things come to those who wait”. This actor is perhaps an ambassador somewhat of this very thought, this very belief. Although his good looks make him very noticeable, his talents as an actor have proven to be a little slow to be accepted among the audiences. Whether this was because of the roles he [...]

Shahid’s new Vegetarian campaign
“Ghaaspoos” is what Tabu called Big B upon knowing he was vegetarian in the film Cheeni Kum. However, Bollywood’s very own chocolate boy is all set to make this very “Ghaaspoos” very sexy. Yes, Shahid Kapoor, voted as People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals sexiest vegetarian in the past, is now all set to [...]
Prateik: not your average star-son
It is almost unheard of that a star son or star daughter be a wallflower. It’s almost taken for granted that, due to be being exposed to the filmi lifestyle, the son or daughter are that much more accustomed to the way of industry life and therefore more equipped to handle the media. This is [...]

It seems the legendary RK banner may see a revival in the not so distant future.

Rumour has it that RK Junior is currently exploring scripts and looking for [...]
Holi played Bolly ishtyle
