Priyanka Chopra in What's Your Raashee?

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's new movie "What's Your Raashee?"comes out today and the critics seem to like it except for one thing.
It's three and a half hours long.

In the film Priyanka gets a role that would make Jim Carrey or Eddie Murphy proud, she gets to play twelve different characters.

The film is a romantic comedy (the first) from director Ashutosh Gowariker.
He also directed the award winning films Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar.
But to maintain interest for over three hours is quite a feat as a lot of directors have found out the hard way.

The films plot is a Chicagoan (Harman Baweja) returns home to Mumbai and has ten days to find a wife and get his Grandfather's inheritance.
He interviews twelve women (all played by Priyanka) each with a different astrological sign (raashee) and each with their own unique personality which gives Priyanka time to show off her acting abilities.

I understand the length of the movie.
Cutting it down to say 2 hours would have lost a lot of story.
Ashutosh couldn't very well have taken the film and pulled a Quentin Tarantino making "What's Your Raashee" Part 1 and Part 2 ala "Kill Bill".
So I think the movie had to pretty much be made the way it was.

Now, will the audiences feel the same way?

More Priyanka Chopra and Twitter

With over 22,000 followers, Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra is leading the pack as far as female Bollywood Tweeters go.
As of right now, Priyanka Chopra is at 22,873 and I think her closest rival is Mallika Sherawat at 11,448.
Although Mallika's account is verified which is something Priyanka should look into doing!
There are Twitter accounts listed for Bollywood stars like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, you cant tell if they are real unless they are verified.

Twitter is a great way to keep up with the stars.
For instance Priyanka said a few hours ago....
"Hey ma peeps.. In kuala lumpur for a new commercial.. Hope u guys will end up liking the campaign.. Can't tell u what it is yet but soon..."

And Mallika said...
"Just got bck frm th Long Beach evnt wth mom n dad:)I spok on Bhalf of JagritiCharity,an amazin org helpin women in urgent need.G'nite all:-)"

Bollywood Women: Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Asin

Shradha Shrama

Production house Spectra Multimedia is working on a project titled "The Secret Life of Kareena" loosley based on the lfe of Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor.
Shradha Shrama was offered the role of Kareena, but turned it down saying that the film's script portrayed Kareena in a negative light.
Not only Kareena by the way, but also Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor are portrayed in the same way.
The character based on Saif Ali Khan is the film's villan!

Kareena Kapoor

How can they get away with a film like that without Kareena's permission and not get sued?
If someone tried that with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, they'd be slammed up against a wall of lawyers so fast it'd make their heads spin!

Priyanka Chopra

And speaking of Shahid, he and girlfriend Priyanka Chopra made a little news when Priyanka refused to kiss him during a scene in the film "Kaminey".
Priyanka doesnt like public displays of affection and wasnt told about the kissing scene in advance.
Director Vishal Bharadwaj didnt push the issue, but explained to her that the scene was intregal to the storyline.
Priyanka understood his point of view and proceded to film the kiss.
"Kaminey" will hit the screens on August 14th.

Asin

After all the sniping you read about between the women of Bollywood, its nice to read about someone that really gets along.
In this case it's Asin and actress Sridevi that are getting close.
Asin and Sridevi live in the same building and the two are often seen together along with Sridevi's two daughters.
Sridevi has has starred in hundreds of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam language films and been nominated for a ton of awards, so Asin could do a lot worse for a mentor.

Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra and Rani Mukherjee

One of the most successful female filmstars in the history of Indian cinema, Hema Malini, has said that the only Bollywood actress that deserves the title "Dream Girl" is the beautiful and talented Aishwarya Rai.
High praise indeed coming from a lady thats made a name for herself as not only an Indian actress, director and producer but as a Bharatanatyam dancer-choreographer as well.
The lovely Ash is keeping herself busy, with four movies coming out in 2010.
First up is Endhiran, a science-fiction Tamil language film being directed by S. Shankar.
Then Ashokavanam, also a Tamil film, directed, written and produced by Mani Ratnam.
Next up are two Hindi movies, Raavan, also being directed by Mani Ratnam, and Action Replay directed by Vipul Shah.


There is a rumor going around that Priyanka Chopra is going to work with UK-based pop star Jay Sean on his new album.
Priyanka big fan of Jay Sean’s music and it's rumored that she will appear in at least one music video for him.
This isn't Jay Sean’s first Bollywood connection.
The lovely Bipasha Basu worked with him on his music video "Stolen".


And the bad feelings between Salman Khan and Aditya Chopra have been healed thanks to Rani Mukherjee.
Evidently the love of Salman's life and the friend of Aditya has been working behind the scenes to get the two back on speaking terms.
So I guess you can add "peacemaker" to Rani's list of credits.
BTW, you can get a lot more info on Rani at this great site I found (no, it's not mine...LOL)
