Bollywood star Katrina Kaif marked her big screen debut with Kaizad Gustad’s ‘Boom’ in 2003. But did you know that she credited David Dhawan’s ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ for her success in the industry? Read on.

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Katrina openly discussed the importance of her first film with Salman Khan. “It’s very important to make a newcomer feel at home. Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya did that for me. It was my most special film with Salman. I am told that the first success is a lot like first love. You can’t forget that. But for me, my first hit, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya is like a blur. All I remember is that we had loads of fun while shooting. The scenes were so funny that we’d be laughing our heads off...

Top Indian Star Katrina Kaif Recounts Her Cinematic Journey: ‘Film Would Become My Entire Life’ (Exclusive)

The times are changing across Indian cinema and Katrina Kaif, one of the top stars of the country, is changing with them.

The top 10 Indian films in the post-pandemic year 2023 were all star-driven blockbusters and Kaif was in the mix with Bollywood action extravaganza “Tiger 3,” the latest in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe, where she starred alongside Salman Khan. 2024 has seen a paradigm shift in that, with five of the top 10 films being what are known locally as “content films,” where a strong storyline takes precedence over spectacle.

The Hindi-language Bollywood may be India’s most visible film industry globally and the term is often used internationally as shorthand for the country’s other film industries, much to their chagrin. To put matters in context, of the 1,796 Indian films released in 2023, 317 were in the Telugu language, 271 in Tamil and 241 in Kannada, with Bollywood in joint fourth place with Malayalam,...

Celebrate Halloween Bolly-ish style

October 31st is Halloween, when kids (of all ages) dress up to go trick-or-treating. Then, of course, there are the cool adults getting in on the costume fun to go to Halloween parties. Since we are all Bollywood buffs, okay fanatics, we thought it would be fun to poll our writers to see who they would love to dress up if we had a Bollywood Halloween – Bollyween Ball. Boy oh boy were we flooded with amazing and inventive ideas.

Some of these costumes you could probably put together easily. However, some might need extra help from family, tailors, costume designers, stylists, costume engineers and even Oscar winning makeup artist Greg Canoom (transformed Srk in Fan and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire)!!

Check out how the excellent team of BollySpice would celebrate Halloween Bolly-ish style.

Humko Deewana Kar Gaye - Movie Review

'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye' (2006)

Starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Anil Kapoor

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif are among the most entertaining onscreen couples in Bollywood. Their now-famous chemistry took hold right from the beginning in this, their first film pairing. The twosome is at their best when there's substance to Kaif's role, which is the case here and in their second film together 'Namastey London' (2007)—and which is unfortunately not the case in the duo's subsequent four outings ('Welcome,' 'Singh Is Kinng,' 'De Dana Dan,' and 'Tees Maar Khan'). But their strong matchup in 'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye' is the only thing to recommend it, and it's not quite enough to compensate for the weak script.

Kumar and Kaif play two lonely individuals who are engaged to people they don't love. Aditya (Kumar) is...

Our Favorite Bolly Shaadi Scenes!

April 29th, was a day that a once-in-a-lifetime event took place in London and though it was a national day of celebration in the UK, it was seen very much on an international stage. Yes, we're talking none other than the fairy tale wedding of Prince William to the now Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton. Since Bollywood is our passion, we thought we would mark the extravagance and the pyaar of the occasion by choosing some of our personal favourite Wedding scenes and songs.

Humko Deewana Kar Gaye

There are so many wedding scenes in Bollywood movies, but the scene that I always think of when the word wedding is mentioned is a scene from the movie Humko Deewana Kar Gaye. Perhaps not the most romantic or happy scene but for some reason it has always stuck with me. Back in the day when the actress was not as well...

Namastey London - Movie Review

'Namastey London' (2007)

Starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Rishi Kapoor, Upen Patel, Javed Sheikh, Clive Standen

Their first film together—'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye' (2006)—was a disappointment, but Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif sparkled in 'Namastey London'—her first major hit and his first of four hits in 2007, including another with Kaif later that year, 'Welcome.' They co-starred in the blockbuster 'Singh is Kinng' the following year. But 'Namastey London' remains their best outing together—and one of Kaif's best films.

In only her fifth Hindi movie, Kaif's still a little green, but her promise starts to show here. She plays Jasmeet, who goes by the nickname "Jazz," a London-born girl with India-born parents. With her mother's encouragement and to her father's dismay, she's thoroughly British—in the way she thinks, dresses, and socializes. The role was likely not a stretch for Kaif, who...

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in Tees Maar Khan (2010)

"These are all fabricated lies" - Katrina on her spat with Akshay

When Katrina Kaif woke up on Tuesday morning, she wouldn't have imagined a tabloid headline to be screaming about her spat with Akshay Kumar, her co-star in many films and the partner-in-crime for her upcoming release Tees Maar Khan. As per the report, the lead actors had a verbal fight due to date issues. While Akshay and Farah Khan (director of Tees Maar Khan) wanted her to shoot for the special 'qawalli' Asap, Katrina wanted to hold on for a while since her dates were already allocated to Yash Raj Films for her Imran Khan starrer. Known for her professionalism over the years, Katrina was surprised to find herself in this imbroglio when she least expected that to be coming to her. In fact no sooner did the report come out, the makers were quick to come to her defence and screamed the slogan of 'all izz well'. Akshay commented...
