How to Submit photos to this blog
Since there were some requests, here is a how to on how to submit photos to this blog.
First of all please note the submission rules.
I guess the criteria is a bit tough. That is the case because i want to maintain the quality of this blog more than anything else.
Sorry we are no longer accepting submissions!
First of all please note the submission rules.
- Only photos of Indian(and in some cases Pakistani) celebs (celebs=actresses,models only) are allowed. And don't waste time sending real life photos or photos of non-celebs. They will be rejected outright.
- Full size photos in good taste only. If you send photos that have head chopped off or only showing legs or anything like that, they will be rejected.
- Goes without saying that the photographs must be suitable for all. (Usually Indian celeb photos are!)
- All submissions must include the name of the celeb.(A brief bio might be useful also but its not mandatory)
- And preferably the photos should be un-watermarked. (I do post watermarked photos but usually the un-watermarked photos will be the ones that will be posted.
- Also mention any screen name you want mentioned if your submissions make it to this blog.

Mumbai Salsa Movie Review
Nikhat Kazmi,TNN
EASY to label this one as Metro, part two. But Mumbai Salsa has a freshness and an innovative feel that makes it watchable despite the fact that it follows Metro's tale of sizing up the cosmosexual lifestyle in New Age yuppie India. Here again you have the cosmopolitan highs (Mahaburger size money, masti and maza ) balanced against the urban lows (achy infidelity, heartbreak and akelapan ). And the narrative style follows a similar pattern too, as it plays peeping Tom into the lives of four different couples. But the similarities end there. For Mumbai Salsa's moral dilemmas and gender benders unfold in a deliciously irreverent manner, a fine blend of the serious and the comic.
The film tries to hold a mirror on almost everything modern: mutating moral values, one night stands, a bit on the side, lesbianism, teen abortions, male chauvinism versus newage feminism...Yet, it never gets into sloganeering.
Eight successful young Mumbaikars, living in the fast lane, meet up in a Mumbai bar called Mumbai Salsa and end up trying to make a life with each other. Of course, almost all the relations begin on a flippant note, mostly as 'one night sits', as protagonist Vir Das insists. Sometimes, they even begin with derision, as in the case of Subbu who carries his tradition Tamilian mindset to the Mumbai corporate world and looks at the girl from the West as suspect, bad wife material. But stereotypes are gently broken and love blossoms through hiccups and hindrances, never losing humour as the sub- text.
Scriptwriter Manoj Tyagi ( Page 3, Corporate, Apharan ) picks up vignettes from real life and makes an impressive debut as a director too. And helping him in creating this eclectic mix are his band of fresh new performers (watch out for Vir Das trying a Woody Allen) who live their roles on screen. Get your fill on the Bar, Barista, Boardroom, Bedroom brigade.
