Now it's UTV Bindass’s Dance reality!

Indian television is overflowing with reality shows, especially dance realities. But while most prefer to follow the proven formula, UTV Bindaas aims to think out of the box with it's new dance reality show that boasts of undiscovered talent, ubercool moves, and the undisputed master of dance, Shiamak Davar.


In a recent press meet held, the guru of modern contemporary dance of India, Shaimak said, “It’s been pleasure to be a part of such a reality show. As this is not what you now days see on television, which is mostly stunts, sets, and attire. This street dancing is some thing more of the inner talent that shines. We will be choosing various dancing talents from all over the country; people who haven’t received any platform to perform their talents.”

Davar adds, “The contestants do not even have to be a trained dancers, but they have to be talented enough so that we can shape them the right way and give them the right kind of direction to help their talents grow. The dancing can be any where on the streets, terrace, and garage or any where you want. I will be mentoring and not judging the show.”


UTV Bindaas has been known to give promising shows which are celebrated amongst the youth. So let’s see what’s stored in this lastest reality, beginning 24th May every Monday-Wednesday, 8 pm onwards

Meghna Kumar out of Idol

Seventeen-year-old Meghna Kumar is the next one to be eliminated from Indian Idol 5. Visually challenged Meghna from Jhansi failed to impress judges with her performance last week and had to pay the price for it.



Our source says, “Musical Maestro Pyarelalji was a guest judge this week; he trained the remaining 12 contestants for his various compositions. Meghna’s last performance was not very impressive and she was expected to be in the danger zone this week. She was visibly sad after hearing the results.”

Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal too were celebrity guests this week. “Sundihi Chauhan performed this week with Pyarelalji. All contestants did a special entry act which was dedicated to Pyarelalji. Raajneeti stars were present on the sets to promote their movie and had a blast with the contestants,” the source adds.

Meghna’s elimination will air on Monday.

Explicit Love Making Scene In Rajneeti Between Arjun And Theatre Actress Deleted

Arjun Rampal’s love making sequence in Prakash Jha's film Raajneeti was so explicit that it was deleted from the theatre version, but it will be shown in the DVD version, says a media report.


The love-making sequence featuring Arjun Rampal and a theatre actress (name withheld) turned out so explicit that the actress in question has requested the director to keep her name out of the credits, says the media report. The sequence was voluntarily deleted from the film before it was submitted for censoring.


Arjun Rampal too was shocked at how far they had gone with the love-making before the director shouted ‘cut’. After they viewed the sequence, both Arjun and Prakash Jha were uncomfortable with its explicitness.
“Yeh thoda zyada ho gaya,” Jha told Arjun. Even the actress requested that her name be kept out of the credits. Arjun, who has lately pulled out all stops to get into character, feared the love-making sequence would not go down well with his wife and daughters. He even requested a re-shoot.

While neither the director nor the actor is willing to reveal details of the scene, a source reveals that it involves a hopeful female electoral candidate who approaches Arjun for an election ticket — with the willingness to do anything for it.

Says the source, “The girl begins to seduce Arjun. They end up making torrid love. This is where the content went out of hand.”

Jha says, “Yes, it’s true that we removed the love-making scene before submitting it to the censor board. But we plan to include it in the DVD version.”
