The internet works for Aamir

Unlike Yash Raj (who pathetically delete all unofficial videos of their movies from YouTube), Aamir Khan wants to manifest the power of the internet to promote his new movies. Ghajni, which is due to be released on the 25th of December is obviously having all it's marketing planned out.

Aamir has insisted however, that Ghajni will not be constrained to TV ads and promos alone, but a big part of it's publicity will be aimed at the internet. Interactive videos will be made specifically to watch online and Aamir is thinking of setting up a mobile site, so even cellphones with GPRS and 3G technology can have access to new Ghajni material.

We don't know if Aamir will do his usual insulting blog posts before the release of the movie, that disses other actors or movies, just to gain publicity (don't deny it, you know Aamir flames for the response). But he will definitely be using the internet for all the publicity, since 73% of the Indian population prefer using the internet to sitting in front of the TV. Yep, I did just make that statistic up but you can see where Aamir is planning to go with this.

Ghajni also stars Jiah Khan and is about a forgetful man (well, he has amnesia) who is trying to work out who his wife's killers are...except, you know, he forgot all the events that happened after the murder, which makes it harder for him to be a detective.

FInally, I'd like to propound my theory about Yash Raj not using the internet more. Maybe if they stopped deleting song videos from YouTube, someone actually might want to watch their films, just from the music video. So Yash Raj's demise is completely their own fault because they don't use YouTube...and because they make stupid movies.

'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' has another song?

While Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is doing the rounds as this year's biggest hit so far, producer and publicist Aamir Khan is wondering if he could make the movie even better than it is. No only does the movie have a fresh outlook on an old love cliche (best friends in love) but it also has a rocking soundtrack.

Imran Khan's uncle Aamir has been wondering whether he should put the female version of 'Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hain' into the movie for a while now and while director Abbas Tyrewala and Aamir felt like it would ruin the flow of the movie, a post on Aamir's blog asking fans for their opinion has come out with a resounding 'YES' that the song should be included in the film.

So the movie will now include the song from Friday the 18th and it will run for a week, and depending on te views of the audience, later it would be decided if the song will stay in the movie or not. The song is picturized by Genelia D'Souza.

Honestly, I think it's a ploy to get people back in the theatres, just to watch the song they missed. Smart Aamir...smart and evil.

Aamir Khan does it again

Aamir Khan is no doubt a household name. Now with his latest film creating waves at the box office the uncle and nephew pair -Aamir Khan and Imraan Khan- have become a star pair.

The last few days have had the pair publicizing their latest venture heavily. Peeping out through every newspaper, television show, magazine (the latest Cine Blitz  have them on the cover page) and hoarding in the country, they have actually driven home the message of their new release. The pair have made guest appearances on channels like NDTV in a talk show where Aamir interviewed Imraan, a Khan 2 Khan exclusive and then of course, the much hyped appearance on Salman Khan’s game show “Dus Ka Dum.”

With nephew leaving no stones unturned in acting , the uncle known for being a perfectionist has done his best for projecting the right image and doing the marketing and publicity very …very well, in true Aamir Khan style. The result of course is evident. The efforts have no doubt bore fruit.

After several weeks of films bombing at the box office, Jaane Tu…ya Jaane Na has broken the cycle and come in as a whiff of fresh air. Genelia D’souza and the rest of the gang too have put up a wonderful performance and yes, of course we haven't forgotten Abbas Tyrewala who seems to be lost in Aamir's shadow.

Aamir has proved that hardwork, a vision and sincere efforts do pay off well, especially when you are Aamir Khan – the perfectionist.

Aamir Khan’s latest – “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na”

After his hit directorial debut “Taare Zameen Par,” Aamir Khan is all set and working diligently towards the completion of his next project “Jaana Tu Ya Jaane Na”. With the blessings of his lucky mascot veteran actor Shammi Kapoor, Aamir has released the music of the his new film. The music was released at the veteran actor’s residence as Aamir wanted to hand him the very first copy and make a start with his blessings.

The music for the film is given by none other than the great musician A R Rahman. With lyrics by Abbas, the music for “Jaana Tu Ya Jaane Na” is surely one that is truly different. The promos have already created waves amongst Aamir’s fans and like each one of his films, the release of this too is much looked forward to.

The film launches Aamir’s nephew “Imran Khan” and starring opposite him is the actress Genelia D’souza. Each of Aamir’s films are a sincere attempt at offering his fans a whiff of fresh air and is one that can be included in the category of meaningful cinema. The film is expected to hit the theatres on the 4^th of July. A good reason for cine-goers to flock the theatres this July.

Aamir Khan is childish...

After losing the Faisal Khan case (Case in 25 words, Aamir says brother crazy institutionalize him, brother says not crazy do not institutionalize me, judge says brother little bit crazy let him live with his daddy... I bet you can tell I'm doing a law degree right? Call me ladies... Just not when my mum's home. She's protective.), Aamir Khan is said to be so angry at his father's part in the world knowing that his brother isn't deranged that he has cut off all funding to his shocked dad.

The Lagaan star used to provide his father with a monthly income of Rs. 30000 but has now cut off all funding as well as repossessing the Mercedes he bought as a birthday gift for his daddy.

A source says,

"It is very sad. Aamir used to support his dad. Aamir had gifted his dad with a car for traveling and a monthly allowance of Rs 30,000. But soon after he lost the case, he immediately stopped his allowance and took back the car."

Wow. Taking back a birthday gift? That's low.

I mean... Even after I get my (usually terrible) exam marks, my parents don't take away my birthday presents. I think it's because my parents have very giving and open hearts and are mindful of the struggles youngsters face in the current educational climate.

... Or maybe it's because I barricade myself in the toilet (Along with my laptop. Obviously.) and refuse to let anyone relieve themselves until they agree to let me keep all my gifts as well as paying me $10 for every percent I got in my Intro to Law exam ($240 people! High-Five!)...

Yeah... I still think it's the first one. My parents are givers.
