Yash Raj films confidence in a new director who proved himself as a good writer with 'Dhoom' and 'Dhoom 2' and a star cast with the likes of Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Anil Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor can be understood.
The old production house gave a great promotion to 'Tashaan'. They were quite successful in building an aura of mystery surrounding their new film by not letting out the content of the film and adding a lot of style and attitude in the looks of the stars.
The news that the real life couple Saif and Kareena got hooked with each other during the film's shooting also made the film a much talked and anticipated one before its release.
The old and experienced production house's belief in 'Tashaan' was such that they even were ready to rewrite the rules of sharing with the exhibitors that was followed till this day in the B-Town. The multiplex owners didn't accept the condition of the sharing only 45% of the total collections in the first week put forth by Yash Raj. No changes were made as Yash Raj stuck to their decisions.
As a result the film got released only in single screen theatres and going by the not that good reviews that the film is getting from the critics and the audience, the collections picking up in the subsequent weeks is a distant dream.
If Yash Raj films had without introducing any new sharing figures released the movie in multiplexes after coming into a mutual understanding with the theatre owners, leave the question of satisfying the critics and the general public, at least the majority percentage of the film's production cost would have got covered with a good number of people able to see the movie in the first week itself.
If the film had good stuff inside to catapult itself into a super duper hit, the Yashraj films could have now hosted a party to celebrate not only the victory of the film but also the triumph of their confidence and calculations.
But now see who is having the last laugh.

Rakhi Sawant fails to impress Telgi
Even thought he hit the news headlines for the wrong reasons, at a time with the memories of his prosperous days for company at Yerawada Jail in Pune, Abdul Karim Telgi, was fortunate enough to watch a partial flash back on his life through a film.
Telgi's advocate later on being interviewed said that Telgi liked the item song visualized on Sambhawna Seth than the song in which the hot Rakhi Sawant is making the moves.
The film was screened as Telgi and his advocate felt that the release of the film might affect the cases that are pending against him in the court.
The Advocate also told that Telgi once had a plan to make a film on the same subject and that he felt this movie to be a very small budget film.
So Telgi had even ideas to get into the film business. That's a pretty new information.

Chiranjeevi's Daughter's Engagement DVD
Chiranjeevi's elder daughter Sushmitha's engagement ceremony was naturally a close family affair. That was indeed a very old scene and was about 2 years old. Many big stars from the industry however attended the ceremony and danced merrily. The media was not allowed to cover the event.
But now the clippings from this event are being aired prominently on TV9. The clippings show hero Balakrishna dancing away merrily to the song 'Kodithe Kottalira …' Other clipping shows Allu Aravind dancing to another popular number.
Chiranjeevi is seen dancing with the sexy Shriya for the number 'Manmadha… Manmadha…' It is however not clear as to how this private video landed in the media's hand and whether they have permission from Chiranjeevi's family to air it?

Buzz: Big New Craze For Tamil Actresses
It is the fresh grapevine from Kollywood. Actress Nayantara was first considered to be the brand ambassador for Chennai Super Kings but later dropped out.
The reason is attributed to Shriya now. It was said that Shriya called on the committee people through one of her friends and conveyed that she is willing to stand as brand ambassador. As the committee felt that Shriya exercises more popularity than Nayantara, the buck was passed on to the former.
And fresh news is that Soundarya, the daughter of Rajni Kanth is also showing her interest to be the brand ambassador in near future. That proves to be a big new craze now among Tamil stars to endorse their teams. We have to see how many more will join this bandwagon.
