Amitabh Bachchan was discharged from Lilavati hospital, Mumbai, yesterday on the auspicious occasion of Karvachauth. He was admitted on his birthday after he complained of severe abdominal pain. His son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were there to take him back home.
Bollywood Buzz caught the superstar as he left the hospital.
2008 seems to be quite an eventful year for Priyanka Chopra. After having four of her films hit the silver screen this year, the actress is now looking forward to two big films- namely Fashion and Dostana.
However, it’s not just her film assignments which are keeping Piggy Chops busy. Priyanka recently made her presence felt at the ongoing Middle East International Film Festival in Dubai. The event which kickstarted on Oct 10th continues to go on till Oct 19th at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Dubai.
Kajol may not be seen much in films these days but the bubbly actress surely has her hands full with endorsements and some charitable work.
Kajol was recently appointed as the goodwill ambassador of the U.K. based Loomba Trust, a charity dedicated to the education of widow’s children in and around India.
The function held at Whitehall London (on the occasion of UN International day to celebrate non-violence- Oct 2) saw some bigwigs such as Cherie Blair (wife of former British P.M. Tony Blair), Mayor of London Boris Johnson and India’s high commissioner to the U.K. Shiv Shankar Mukherjee in attendance.

Drona - Movie Review
Bollywood Buzz reviews the antasy/adventure blockbuster.
Via Bollywood Buzz.
DRONA is a big film in all respects — big stars, big canvas, big expenditure on SFX, big ad spend, big expectations. Sadly, it’s a big, big, big letdown as well.
Fantasy/adventure films are a rarity in Bollywood. Actually, you want to laud Goldie Behl for being courageous, for venturing into a lane that’s rarely visited by dream merchants here. But the screenplay is a complete mess. In fact, if at all there would be Razzies in Bollywood, the three writers of DRONA — Jaydeep Sarkar, Rohini Killough and Goldie Behl — should be nominated proto for coming up with a sloppy and slipshod screenplay.
What saddens your heart is the fact that the Lullas of Eros and Shrishti Arya, the producers of DRONA, have spared no efforts in giving DRONA a spectacular look. The vision is perfect, but how about narrating an absorbing and attention-grabbing story? You remember DRONA for its striking visuals, not storyline. It’s like embellishing priceless and precious jewels on a mannequin.
The much awaited news has just hit the stands (read ‘news stands’). We are indeed talking about GQ, the world’s leading men’s magazine and their super-mega Indian launch, which has got none other than the Nawab Pataudi Jr. (Saif Ali Khan) himself for starters. Even though he looks his usual element on the cover along with a hot PYT chic, we would have definitely preferred him with his trademark glares.
Nevertheless, this issue has Saif speaking (read ‘confessing’) that “Married men who are inaccessible are definitely hotter for women… In most of my relationships, I’ve been unfaithful, and I don’t want to do that anymore… I’ve done things backwards. I’ve been married; I’ve lived with someone, now I’m dating someone.” Honest confessions there by Saif!
If that was not enough, the readers can feast their eyes on the super hot and super sexy Yuvraj Singh (who is a pro in both bowling maiden over as well as even the maidens over!) and Arjun Rampal, to say the least!
And if that was not enough, the magazine also has Karan Johar as the contributing editor. Looking at the launch issue, we can surely say that ‘GQ…has arrived’!
