Hrithik Roshan's First Public Appearance Since Divorce With Sussanne — Photos!

Actor Hrithik Roshan created headlines a few weeks earlier when he announced his separation from Sussanne. However, the actor put on a brave face as he made a public appearance for the first time since the split. Hrithik was there in Vashi, Mumbai to launch the renowned Joyalukkas Showroom.

A huge group of fans gathered at the venue to catch a glimpse of the Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik's last film 'Krrish 3', which also featured Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and Vivek Oberoi was a Box Office hit. 

 Hrithik who will be seen in upcoming film ‘Bang Bang’ opposite Katrina Kaif sported a scruffy bearded look. Seen here, the actor takes the mic as he addresses his fans. 

The news of Sussanne-Hrithik separation came just a few days before their 13th marriage anniversary. The duo tied the knot on December 20, 2000 post the success of Hrithik's debut film 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'. (IANS) 

 Hrithik, who has a huge fan following, matched steps with one of his supporters at the event he recently attended. 

 If rumours are anything to go by, Hrithik Roshan has put an end to his tiff with the so-called rival Salman Khan. The actor, who shared a not-so-great bond with Salman, visited the star at his Panvel house for a few hours on December 31. 

 While Hrithik's keenness to experiment with his roles has helped him win everyone's plaudits, the fact that he has no starry airs has also helped him expand his fan base over the years. Like a true star, he appreciates his fans. Here, the star gets busy with his fans. 

 Hrithik waved out to the numerous fans collected there. He said that he was heart-warmed to see the love that the people bestowed on him.

 We can only hope that this outing is the start of him getting his life back on track.

Dhoom 3 Movie Review: Is Only Aamir Khan Show?

Dhoom 3 may have been the toughest role that Aamir Khan has essayed but it clearly isn't one of his best performances.

Rating : 4 out of 5

But what the heck, you do not go to watch an action-thriller like Dhoom 3 anticipating great acting chops. You expect fast bikes, great action stunts, pulsating chase sequences, fantastic music, spectacular locations and a terrific music score. The film delivers a bit of everything but not to the level you expect from the Dhoom franchise or from a banner like Yash Raj Films. Blown or 'Dhoom-ed' away, you will not be.

So here's the story: Circus boy/man Sahir (Aamir Khan) is a person with fire in his belly (or on his arms as seen in the film's posters, along with the other fired-up 'lead' characters). Of course, there is little heat that Mumbai cops Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and Ali (Uday Chopra) bring to the plot or their characters (caricatures?). On the other hand, 'Asian Goddess who can sing and dance like water and fire' Alia (Katrina Kaif) does set the circus on fire with her introductory dance number but after that, evaporates from the plot.

The first 15 minutes or so of the film are painfully boring as the plot sets up sympathy for Aamir by showing us his emotional journey with his father (Jackie Shroff) and The Great Indian Circus. The Great Indian Circus was owned by Shroff in 1990 but was repossessed by some hamming extras posing as bankers from the Western Bank of Chicago when they failed to see merit in the 'Indian magic' (rightfully so; it's entirely lame) and close down the circus (unbelievably housed in a Greco-Roman building!). Cut to 2013, a grown-up, bare-bodied Sahir awakens on a leather upholstered bed in the middle of a glass-covered, minimalist furnished penthouse with the Chicago skyline as backdrop. Vendetta for his father's suicide caused by those very ruthless bankwalas forms the rest of the film's plot. (The glass penthouse too evaporates into thin air henceforth as Sahir is shown living in some backstage apartment of the Greco-Roman building). Why? Because there lies hidden Sahir's deep secret which only he, one more person (and now we! Help!) are aware of.

Watch: Dhoom 3 Trailer

Dhoom 3 throws logic out of the circus tent. Oops, we mean the circus mansion. Jai and Ali's character are flown into Chicago (American taxpayers' money being used to fly in Mumbai police? Tch, tch) to investigate Sahir's various robberies which are part of his elaborate plan to bring the banks down. But why the Mumbaikars? Because not only does he leave his imprint in the bank in Hindi after every heist (shouldn't the messages have been in Marathi then?), the entire Chicago Police force comprises of a bunch of incompetent fools. They know nothing about their job and are shown, for the most part, wielding guns they never shoot and shouting 'stop', 'stop'. Much like how Mumbai cops are shown in Bollywood - as decoration and arriving on the scene at the end of everything. Jai and Ali on the other hand should have been in Interpol or FBI. They are on Sahir's tail like moths to a flame and nothing, not even random hot babes will stop them. No wonder the crime rate in Mumbai has gone up - our heroes are in Chicago chasing a middle aged Indian con-tortionist!

There is more. Like the busty blonde Chicago cop Victoria who comes to pick up Jai and Ali from the airport. But while Jai gets lucky to ride pillion with her, Ali is forced to ride on a bus seated next to a Black passenger. Did someone say racist?! Stereotype?

The other good part is that the film is shot brilliantly. The three-hour long film is (ironically!) edited crisply. The stunts are mostly well-choreographed. Strangely, the circus scenes for which Aamir and Katrina reportedly trained for months are ho-hum, passable. Wonder what happened to the decent cinematography here? The first half does not give you any clues about the delicious twist at interval (we're not telling, go find out yourself). Pritam's music is not even close to what he scored in the earlier Dhoom prequels.

Acting is not the hallmark of this film. The firang actors act like how all firangs act in Bollywood films. Abhishek Bachcan and Uday Chopra should not have been in the film. Katrina Kaif by far is the best thing of Dhoom 3 because she does what she does best - dance crazy super after months of training.

Despite the fact that his face looks like someone injected Botox in it to freeze his scowl, at its heart, Dhoom 3 is Aamir Khan show. And Aamir Khan never let's you forget that you are watching Aamir Khan in this film. This was not the case, say, when he played Rancho in 3 Idiots or the character in Ghajini or Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat in Talaash. Even Aamir's effort at tap dance is far from effortless.

The earlier two Dhoom films sizzled. This one fizzles right at the beginning and keeps stalling intermittently.

Will Dance on 'Besharam' Song at Ranbir's Wedding, Says Katrina Kaif

Actress Katrina Kaif, who has finally opened up to the media, made light of Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor's conversation on Koffee with Karan, by saying whatever they said was a joke.

She said this during the press conference of Dhoom: 3, which is set to hit the screens on December 20.

Asked how she reacted to Kareena's comment on Koffee with Karan where Kareena said she would dance to Katrina's hit songs at Ranbir's wedding, Katrina said: "Kareena and Ranbir are cousins so they pull each other's legs. There is no such thing like that. They said it as a joke. I don't think they were serious."

She was then asked on which song would she perform at Ranbir's wedding, to which Katrina said: "If for some reason, I have to dance on a song at Ranbir's wedding, I would dance on the Besharam song."

Reacting to Ranbir's statement that Katrina is a special person in his life and he would like to give his life for her, she said: "I would like to give my life to anyone who needs and who is a dear friend. If Ranbir is ever in need, I will definitely be there for him."

Additionally, the actress says she has no plans to get married for the next 20 to 30 years. She said, "It's final and lock it. I am not getting married to anyone right now for the next 20 to 30 years."

Katrina Kaif Crowned World's Sexiest Asian Woman Fourth Consecutive Time

Her absence from the big screen for a year has not stopped Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif from winning the world's sexiest Asian woman title for the fourth consecutive year in a poll by a weekly magazine here.

The actress narrowly defeated Priyanka Chopra, TV star Drashti Dhami and current Box Office queen Deepika Padukone. She secured the top spot in the world-renowned '50 Sexiest Asian Women List 2013' with Chopra coming second, Dhami third and Padukone fourth.

A permanent fixture in the top three for the past six years, Kaif beat off competition from the world's most stunning Asian women in the tenth edition of UK based, Eastern Eye newspaper's definitive Sexy List.

The fourth win comes just weeks before Katrina hits the big screen again in one of the year's biggest Bollywood releases 'Dhoom 3: Back In Action'.

"I didn't know it was a record! That`s a nice surprise and a lot of fun to hear. I like it because Eastern Eye newspaper is the one my sisters see because they live in London. It's lovely, but also people are reacting to what they see.

"Obviously if everyone were to see me when I wake up in the morning or in my track pants and then vote for me, then maybe I would be a little bit more believing of it myself. But of course it's very flattering," Katrina said.

Chairman of the judging panel and magazine's showbiz editor Asjad Nazir, who annually puts the list together, said it was a close race. 

Like last year, the biggest surprise of 2013 list was the sheer dominance of television actresses from India. Dhami added to a dream year by becoming the first television actress to crack the top three while her friend Sanaya Irani entered the top 10 for the first time at sixth position.

Other Indian television actresses who made the list included last year's highest new entry Nia Sharma (11), Jennifer Winget (15), Asha Negi (18), Krystle D'Souza (19) and Rubina Dilaik (26).

The highest new entry was 'Aashiqui 2' star Shraddha Kapoor (12), who narrowly missed out the top 10. The highest placed Pakistani was Humaima Malick (15) and the only non-Indian in the list was 'Anger Management' star Noureen DeWulf (10).

The American actress, who stars alongside Charlie Sheen in the hit US sitcom, dominated the non-Asian vote. The oldest women in the list were Bollywood icons Madhuri Dixit (23) and Sridevi (40).

Other notable stars in this year's list include Sonam Kapoor (5), Parineeti Chopra (14), Sophie Choudry (21), Mehreen Syed (22), Sunidhi Chauhan (28), Ankita Lokhande (29), Hina Khan (31) and Shreya Ghoshal (43).

2013's full list is out on December 6 in the magazine.

Dhoom:3 Behind The Scenes: Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif Turn Acrobats - Watch!

Malang song from Dhoom:3 is the most expensive and exotic song as per the makers, but here’s what makes this song worth a watch

Katrina Kaif and Aamir Khan look like poetry in motion in the brand new song teaser from Dhoom:3; a look at the few seconds of the Malang song showcases the grandeur of this song and why not, after all, the makers spent almost Rs 5 crore on this song. However it makes us wonder if it was the glossy sets and post production that cost the film’s producers a bomb or the rigorous training sessions that this film’s stars had undertaken to rehearse for this high action acrobatic number. Katrina and Aamir are seen undertaking some tough gymnastics lessons and we must say that Katrina looked really comfortable in her acts. The Chikni Chameli adapted easily to the postures heights and stunts as compared to our Mr Perfectionist Khan.

A little birdie also told us how Aamir Khan had to take medication after performing some real tough and trying stunts up in the air. We must say all the hard work did pay off at the end of the day for this duo, for the song’s aerial acts have not gone unnoticed. And the duo is looking absolutely gorgeous while performing these acts.
