Will Priyanka and Harman go head to head?

The Priyanka Chopra-Harman Baweja jodi didn't work in Love Story 2050, so maybe the two are destined for separate careers? We'll have to see as Priyanka's Dostana and Harman's Victory are set for same-day release dates.

Both movies are set to be released on the 14th of November, so you don't have to stress too much about preparing for it, there's still lots of time. Dostana is supposed to be a comedy movie about friendship and love (obviously), also starring John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan. Victory is a story about cricket and proving your parents wrong (obviously) and Harman's co-star is Amrita Rao.

After the fiasco between Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Love Story 2050 (I honestly though LS 2050 would come out top), I doubt Harman would want to be compared with his 'good friend' Priyanka as he tries again in Bollywood.

Does anyone have the upper hand? Dostana is being produced by Karan Johar, who has a reputation of his own and Victory is being directed by debutant director Ajit Pal. Just by the names that I've thrown around, I have a feeling Victory better change it's dates and quick. Not that Dostana is a guaranteed success but honestly, what would you watch? A feel-good comedy or a cricket movie about a guy who has daddy issues?

Harman doesn't care about his fans?

When you release a movie, you have to be around at every press and social event to garner publicity, but when you walk out of your own movie premiere, what kind of message is being sent to the fans? That the movie is so bad that the lead actor couldn't even sit though the whole show?

Maybe that's the reason that Love Story 2050 flopped so badly. You know, that could also be a reason...a movie doesn't have to flop because of the weak plot, the bad acting, the over-reliance on special effects. Nah, it's because of Harman Baweja leaving the London premiere of LS 2050 that the movie bombed in the box office.

He says,

"We left at interval. We couldn't stay for the whole film because we had to catch a flight back to Mumbai to look into the film's release in India.

It was really sad that I could just stay for half of my first film. But I had no choice. We'd have missed our flight. We returned from London to Mumbai within ten hours. But never mind. I deputed some of my London-based cousins to look after the guests at the premiere".

To compare Love Story 2050 and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na again, Harry Baweja preferred to have a quiet premiere with friends and family (and cast like Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani of course) while Aamir Khan went the whole way and had a smashing premiere to celebrate his nephew's coming success.

Maybe the secret to a successful movie is the premiere? Dazzle people at the premiere so they'll applaud whatever you give them rather than have a cheap premiere where your audience have to choke down stale pretzels.

July 4 – The war of the titans?

With big names of the film industry planning a blast (literally) on the 4^th of July, it sure is going to be a war of the titans. The date is fast approaching and Friday is going to see two new youngsters setting foot in the world of Bollywood. Yes, you guessed right it is Harman Baweja and Imraan Khan (actor Aamir Khan’s nephew).

The mega film "Love story 2050" is going to be released on the same date as Aamir’s “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na”. With promotional activities on in full swing, it is all about reaching out to and appealing to the cine goer. Who would be more successful in driving home the message? Can money power actually be of any help? Would it be the success of the best man, just a few days more…and we have all the answers.

Harry Baweja has left no stones unturned in the film "Love story 2050" for son Haraman. He has used the best special effects…robots and the works. Actors Harman Baweja and co-star Priyanka Chopra are playing their parts of promoting the film to perfection. Their romantic link up too is expected to create some interest in the first film that the couple is going to be seen together in.

On the other hand, Aamir is definitely working very hard to make the launch of his nephew a stupendous success.

May the best man win… being an ardent fan of Aamir and Priyanka Chopra definitely has me in two minds. Which one should I go for on Friday the 4^th of July…..who would ultimately win in the Harman vs Imraan case…..a big gamble.

Harman Baweja is scared...

Harman Baweja's first film, Love Story 2050, is set to be released on the 4th of July. Aaah the 4th of July. It reeks of independence. I guess Amir Khan thought so too, which is why he decided to be independent and go against the will of Harry Baweja (Harman's dad) and launch his movie on the exact same day.

Harman, who was already shaken up due to the comparison's with Hrithik Roshan (Not helped by the fact that when he came on to the stage at the Love Story 2050 music launch he was greeted with calls of "Hrithik Hrithik." According to Harman he handled the incident with dignity. According to me, he hired a bouncer to throw the guy out. Dignified.) and the speculation over his personal life, is upset that now he'll actually have to be competing with someone for ticket sales (How dare they?!).

He says, "Someone is up to dirty tricks for sure."

Wow... It must be a sad life... drowning in paranoia. Sure Harman... Someone has nothing better to do with their time than plot your downfall.

OK... I admit I do plot your downfall daily. But I consider myself quite evil and hence plotting your downfall somehow fits into my grand scheme of... ummm... you know... being evil. And I'm bored.

Anyway... It's so satisfying to stick pins into Voodoo dolls.

Harman Baweja is poor...

Reports say that Love Story 2050 star Harman Baweja, better known as Harry Baweja's spawn, better known as Priyanka Chopra's boyfriend took said girlfriend out on a romantic dinner recently. In order to make the dinner as romantic as possible, Harman proceeded to order bottle after bottle of expensive wine, this boosted the value of the bill to a princely 1 Lakh Rupees (Lakh = 100000). When Harman was presented with the bill he flourished his credit card with a massive smug grin on his face (I assume). A grin that said, I look like a paindoo that should be serving gol gappay on the side of the street instead... I'm tapping that. She was a Miss World y'know.

That grin was to be wiped off way too soon... the waiter came back and told Harman loudly and brashly in front of the entire restaurant, "You're credit card was de-(wait for it)-nied! Denied!". Harman Baweja started to cry like a little girl and Priyanka Chopra in a fit of pity for the blustering fool decided to foot the bill.

That's probably not exactly how it happened... But I thought I'd use my artistic license to try and create a more vivid picture (And to make Baweja Jr. look bad).

... I have no idea why I dislike him so much. I mean... I always dislike filmi kids... But my level of hate for Harman is... extreme.

I really, really hope Love Story 2050 flops. Firstly because it ripped off the fireball from the most awesome game of all time (i.e. Street Fighter) and secondly because of some nutjob commentor that finds any blog that even mentions Love Story 2050 and leaves this comment (Seriously, look on any blog),

Hey, I’m really looking forward to love story 2050…it is bollywoods first sci-fi movie !!! im sure Harman Baweja will be a huge super star and I cant wait to watch him star opposite Priyanka Chopra ….Check out the promos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-WxH09we88

... Eejit.

I bet it's Harry Baweja. I can imagine his tubby little fingers typing "Love Story 2050" into Google, before he starts pasting said message on any blog he can find.

I bet that tubby, beady eyed, fool is giggling to himself, thinking how smart he is. I bet he's thinking, "I can't make a movie to save my life. But damn, I know how to promote a movie. I'm so hip and new age. I wonder what that button does... Oh... Crap. I restarted the damn thing again."

I'm onto you Harry.

Oh. And Harry if you post that message here, I will find you. I will hunt you down, even if I have to invest my family's life savings, just to kick you in your most private of regions for being an annoying spammer.

Harman Baweja to Dump Priyanka Chopra?

Harry Baweja's son, Harman, has reportedly been dating former Ms. World Priyanka Chopra for the last 2 years (That's how long its taken to film Love Story 2050, a movie that is guaranteed to be crap simply because it's directed by Baweja Snr.). However as the film nears it's release, there are rumours of trouble in Paradise (Aah, the cliché. The haven of the mediocre writer.) with reports that Harman is being pressurized to dump Ms. Chopra.

Reports say that although Harman’s daddy is OK with the relationship, mummy doesn’t share his sentiments. She apparently prefers a non-filmi bahu (read: She must not make out with attractive men for a living) and she is disturbed by said bahu being older than Harman.

Priyanka Chopra is hot, but I can see where Mrs. Baweja is coming from. All mums are protective of their sons, and I suppose she doesn’t want her son to attend a premiere with his wife so he can watch her being felt up by guys that are better looking and richer than he is. Thus I choose to applaud Mrs. Baweja’s, effective albeit old-fashioned, stance.

I wish my mum were protective of me like that… I think my mum might hate me actually. Yesterday, just as I was about to take a bath she rushed into the bathroom and handed me a hairdryer saying, “Give it a good wash while you’re in there. And be sure to plug it in so that the fans inside get a good cleaning”.

Why Mum? Why?!!
