Thank You Premiere Show In Juhu Mumbai

The men from the movie Thank You seem to be enjoying the premiere show. Akshay Kumar looks really happy and is quite casual at the event. Bobby Deol, Irfan Khan and Sunil Shetty are all rather content with the way things were going.

Akshay looked quite excited like a child to see the elephant. Sonam Kapoor and other girls were not seen but Zarine Khan did appear at the premier and is looking cute.

Pooja Bhatt Lost The Legal Battle For The Title Of 'Thank You'

Pooja Bhatt had filed a case against UTV and co-producer Hari Om Productions over using the title 'Thank You' for the latest romantic comedy. She claimed that she had registered the title with the Association of Motion Picture and TV Programming Producers (AMPTPP).

However, the Mumbai High Court ruled on April 6th in favor of UTV and said that there is no copyright on a mere title.

Although, UTV won the case but they clarified that the issue was simply a result of miscommunication between Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPAA) and Film Makers Combine (FMC). UTV had registered the name with IMPAA in 2008 but Pooja still filed a case in the high court.

The CEO of UTV Motion Pictures, Siddharth Roy Kapoor said that we registered the title of 'Thank You' through a proper channel and it legitimately belonged to them. However, the industry should focus on having a single window for title clearances to avoid such incidents in the future.

With the case being setttled, the cast, director and producers are now focused at the marketing events and box office because the movie is to be released on this weekend.

Sonam Kapoor hospitalized due to over-exertion

Sonam Kapoor was admitted in hospital yesterday following severe exhaustion. She also had temperature.


According to sources, Sonam had returned from ‘Thank You’ promotion trip in Dubai and once she landed in Mumbai she collapsed due to fatigue.


Her father revealed that she had a hectic schedule & she couldn’t even sleep properly all this while. After shooting for an endorsement, she went to Jaipur as brand ambassador for a luxury car. She also shot for the flim Mausam & then she rushed to Dubai for the promotion of Thank You.


“Late in the evening, it was learnt that Sonam needed to be hospitalised. She needed complete rest. Sonam will be discharged from the hospital over the weekend," added Anil Kapoor.

Ab Razia Ki Kiya Zaroorat Thi?

I am getting a little tired of these item songs. It's like every movie must have a silly song where some actress is showing off her body, doing erotic dance moves and of course the lyrics are loosing their essence and depth.

What do we expect after - Unche se uncha banda, potty pe bethay nanga??? What sort of depth do we find in such creative lyrics?

Well, first came Munni Badnaam Hui. Then Shiela came to flaunt her jawani. Deepika's Dum Maaro Dum song is talking about shit and Razia is just plain cheap. Razia is not looking funny or hot. Just to get some hype and buzz, these guys have to have an item number.

In fact, I was going through the viewers feedback and most people didn't even like Razia at all. They feel its a mix of both Shiela and Munni. I definitely don't like the video. Mallika has looked hotter before, this is not her best looks for sure.

Of all these songs, I feel Deepika did look damn sexy in the Dum Maaro Dum although it's lyrics regarding crap were a major turn off but she did her part well.

Either they should make a really nice item song or spare us the torture because it is not really adding much value to filmmaking.

Mallika turns the heat on with 'Razia'

Mallika Sherawat's 'Razia' is out and those who have had a dekko at it already claim that despite its raunchy and outright suggestive lyrics, this song from 'Thank You' is all set to be the song of this summer along with Deepika Padukone's 'Dum Maro Dum'. Also, if many felt that Mallika hadn't gone beyond her earlier item numbers like 'Maiyya Maiyya' (Guru) and 'Mehbooba Mehbooba' (Aap Kaa Surroor) after wasted herself in films like 'Hisss', then there is some redemption round the corner.

"It was high time that she went back to what she was best at i.e. get the heat on," says a senior choreographer, "She isn't someone who picks up assignments by the dozen. Ever since the beginning of her career, she has been pretty choosy. She also took up 'Thank You' after much deliberation. Only when she heard this Pritam composed tune and was assured that she had a chartbuster waiting to explore did she give her nod of approval to 'Razia'. With her sensual moves in the song, Mallika would end the debate on who is the best item woman of them all."

Sonam Kapoor & Celina Jaitley Looking Hot At Thank You Promotion

Akshay Kumar Won't Take Any Nonsense Off Screen

Akshay Kumar may be a great actor when it comes to play comic roles but off the screen he is a no-nonsense guy. On the promotional event of Thank You, where the cast of the film graced weddings of two couples, it became quite obvious that Akshay is not going to take any smart comments.

Everything was all right until a person from the media asked Anees Bazmee, "You have written and directed the film. But who writes the film's publicity script?" Akshay took the mike and said, "The film's publicists." The journalist then cheekily asked, "So, if you have a murder mystery tomorrow, will you organise some sort of a murder?" This rubbed Akshay the wrong way and he fumed, "Do you think these marriages are fake? Have you come here for a walk? Do you know anything about these couples?"

"I have just come back from Chandigarh and got to know about them. Actually, they wanted to have some big stars attending their weddings," said Akki before handing the mike to one of the grooms.

The groom revealed, "When we were having our court marriage, we dreamt of having some stars for our wedding. Luckily my aunt had a contact in UTV and it was made possible. I still can't believe stars have come to our wedding."

Akshay, now in a calmer tone, added, "This isn't a publicity stunt. It was just a coincidence that their wedding happened during the same time as our film's promotion. We got a call from UTV and we are here. If we have made a mistake, please forgive us."

Akshay Kumar wants to marry again

Akshay’s movie Thank you is all about extra marital affairs and how friends help each other out in cheating on their wives. The big marketing idea is that these 4 men Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Irrfan Khan and Suneil Shetty are going to re-register their marriage. And this has been actually Akshay’s idea.

Says a source from the sets, "Akshay came up with the idea, as he felt by re-registering their marriage, they would prove their fidelity to their wives, while THANK YOU is all about infidelity and temptation."

They want to re-register their marriages in Bandra Family Court, and have even requested the registrar to allow them, which is usually impermissible. However, the request is still pending & let’s see if Bandra Family Court pays any heed to it.

All these 4 men are devoted husbands & doting fathers whereas in the movie, they are playboys who are just into extra marital affairs.

Says director Anees Bazmi, "When Akshay came up with this idea, I was amazed. As THANK YOU is all about infidelity, to go and prove your fidelity seemed like a brilliant idea. Especially in such a unique of re-registering your marriage. We hope that we get the permission to re-register the marriages."

I guess it’s a very cute idea. The kind of idea that would certainly make any sane wife very happy!

Sonam: Perception towards me has always been positive

2011 is quite promising for the young lady. Thank you is Anees Bazmee’s film & his films are special no matter what. And when you have Akshay Kumar, Irrfan Khan, & Bobby Deol in the movie, you can expect a lot. Although I hate luv storys & Aisha didn’t do well at the box office, but they are things of the past. Even Saawariya & Dilli 6 weren’t taken very nicely by the audience but you know they happened even before I hate luv storys & Aisha.

"Well, the best part is that I no more get to hear a question - 'How do you feel about your upcoming film since your last one didn't do well?'", laughs Sonam

"I used to take it all positively because I knew I was here to play a long innings,", Sonam says in a confident tone, "With I HATE LUV STORYS turning out to be successful and AISHA receiving critical acclaim, at least the noises have gone down. Otherwise both personally as well as professionally for me, it is the same thing; nothing has changed."

However she believes 2101 has resulted in a better professional standing for her.

"Shall I tell you something honestly," she questions animatedly, "At least I have always felt that perception towards me has been positive all this while. I guess at the end of it all, you get what you deserve. You work hard and you work for the best rather than thinking about some stray noises around you. I am content and know there are good things in store for me."

Well good to know that. I think Sonam Kapoor says things without thinking at times, but she will learn soon. That Koffee with Karan episode painted both Sonam & Deepika very badly, even though Sonam didn’t say anything mean & it was nice to see that someone could show the mirror to Shobha De.

Anyhow, we would love it, if once & for all, Sonam starts working on her acting skills, cause in that department, she’s hopeless.
