The Bollywood thieves have done it again.

They have stolen a successful Hollywood plot (Three Men and a Baby), made some changes and brought us an unwatchable horror show called Heyy Babyy.

Starring Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson and directed by Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek fame, Three Men and a Baby was a delightful comedy that deservedly went on to become one of the biggest hits of 1987.

There are so many unforgettable scenes in Three Men and a Baby.

For instance, Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson singing Well, it’s time to go. Goodnight, sweetheart to the baby, Tom Selleck buying baby food, Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg rushing back home halfway through a play to check on the baby because Ted Danson doesn’t answer the phone, oh, we could go on and on.

Sadly, there’s not a single decent, noteworthy scene in Heyy Babyy.

Watching Heyy Babyy is sheer torture from beginning to the end. This is an ugly movie that should never have seen the light of the day.

Like Three Men and a Baby, Heyy Babyy is mostly the story of what happens to three bachelor friends when a baby girl is deposited on their doorstep one morning.

Although initially upset over the new arrival, the three womanizer friends Arush (Akshay Kumar), Tanmay (Riteish Deshmukh) and Al (Fardeen Khan) gradually warm up to the baby.

So, what’s wrong with Heyy Babyy? The short answer Continue Reading…

Update: Salman Khan was arrested on Saturday, August 25, 2007.

Bollywood star Salman Khan will soon be a guest of the Indian prison system for poaching a Chinkara - an endangered species of gazelle - in 1998.

Salman Khan’s appeal against a five-year sentence awarded in a 2006 court ruling was rejected by an Indian court in Jodhpur on Friday, August 24.

The 42-year-old movie star was not present when the verdict was announced.

Salman Khan has the option to appeal the ruling to a higher court in Rajasthan.

The Hindi film actor, who is expected to surrender on Monday, has also been fined Rs 25,000 ($610), a piffling sum for a man who earns several hundred thousand dollars for each movie.

Salman Khan, a popular film star of romantic blockbusters such as Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hai Kaun and a veteran of 70 movies, has earned a nasty reputation even by the notorious Bollywood standards with his repeated bad behavior over the last several years.

Salman Khan was also convicted in 2006 for killing Black Buck antelopes, another species on the endangered list. He is on bail in that case while his appeal is pending before the court.

The movie star is also fighting another serious case involving charges of killing a pavement dweller in Mumbai while driving drunk. The actor has denied Continue Reading…
