Americans likes Tere Bin Laden

Praised in India, banned in Pakistan, Tere Bin Laden, a satire about the world’s most wanted man, is now winning hearts in the US.

The film directed by first-timer Abhishek Sharma and starring Pakistani actor Ali Zafar and new find Pradhuman Singh, was released in the US with a limited number of prints. It has got positive reviews from critics and now the rumour is that none other than the President Barack Obama might watch the film at a special screening.

“Mr Obama has not seen the film as yet. Beyond that, I cannot comment on this at the moment. All I can tell you is that our film has attracted the most unexpected eyeballs in the US,” the film’s director Abhishek Sharma is quoted to have said.

The film tells the story of a Pakistani journalist (Ali Zafar) who stumbles upon an Osama Bin Laden lookalike (Pradhuman). The man is a poultry farmer and is made to impersonate as Osama to record threat messages to the US.

According to Abhishek, the film has got positive reviews from the American media, including New York Times, Variety, Chicago and Daily Herald.

Bollywood damsel and a cricketer seems to be taking a romantic turn

Yet another friendship between a Bollywood damsel and a cricketer seems to be taking a romantic turn. The Train starlet Geeta Basra is believed to be the special lady on whom Harbhajan Singh , the swashbuckling cricketer, showers most of his attention.

As per buzz, Bhajji recently took her to his newly bought office property in Mumbai and allegedly she was the first one to see it. As a source disclosed to a daily, “The bond between Harbhajan and Geeta grows stronger by the day. He consults her on a lot of important decisions in his life.”

In fact, Geeta appeared quite comfortable in his company when they went to have a look at the property (which Bhajji bought along with MS Dhoni) though she denies that there is anything beyond friendship between them.

Of late, rumours were strong that Geeta and Bhajji are dating. But about this recent meeting, Geeta says that it was a coincidence and her visit to the place was not planned at all. And when she was further asked about the relationship, she was quick to say, “You should ask Harbhajan about that…The day there is something to admit about our relationship, I will.” Good excuse, lady!
