Shahrukh Khan's links with Aamir Khan's imaginary dog

Shahrukh Khan's links with Aamir Khan's imaginary dog - hard to believe but do you guys remember a while back Aamir Khan (to get publicity on his still new blog ) had mentioned that he has a pet dog called Shahrukh. Well at that time King Khan took the joke very sportingly.

But is also a known fact that SRK doesn’t forget things easily.

While talking about the Oscar-nominated film Slumdog Millionaire at a press conference recently, Shahrukh Khan smartly picked the word ‘dog’ and with a sarcastic smile said, “I have a very old relation with the word dog!” Now you know what he was taking a dig at Aamir.

Downloaded Slumdog Millionaire from this link Download Slumdog Millionaire

The movie is about a slum boy who as a teenager trying to impress his girlfriend Latika wins Kaun Banega Crorepati ( where Anil Kapoor is the host instead of Amitabh Bachchan) wins the game show and tons of money. The movie has all the makings of a Bollywood masala but without that desi touch thats in a movie like Partner or Welcome or even Ghajini. Its more the viewpoint of a foreigner and how he views India through Bollywood glasses. Very Bollywood desi !!

The music is also ok ( not great like everyone is raving) . See music videos for songs Jai hoa nd Jiya Se Jiya by clicking on Jiya Se Jiya Music Video and Jai Ho Music Video

I like Jiya Se Jiya the best. Anyway I would give it a 6/10 rating. Not all slum success stories are like this !! and its minus the usual Bollywood masala that a movie like Race or Ghajini has.

Golden Globe Nomination for A.R.Rahman

Its a Golden Globe Nomination for A.R.Rahman for his music tracks in Slumdog Millionaire. The film has also earned three other nominations for Best Picture-Drama, Best Director for Boyle and Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy for the 2008 Golden Globe Awards given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Here are some movie photos of Slumdog Millionaire.
