Aahatein - Unplugged from Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

The Valentine movie of the year - Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu was loved by many! Kareena and Imran's pairing created magic on-screen with their great performance  plus the story was a very different concept with a unexpected twist in the end.

The music was given by Amit Trivedi and the songs top the charts. Most famous songs of EMAET are 'Talli Hai Yeh Zameen' and 'Aahatein'. The title track is a fun-party song that makes you get up from your seat and dance till you get tired. On the other hand, 'Aahatein' is a slow romantic song which touched the hearts of the audience.

Yesterday we released the Unplugged Version of 'Aahatein' and it recieved a great response with feedback from fans like - "amazing song.............u rock", "loved it...", "double like" and so on with a total of over 4,000 views in a day :) 


This was just the beginning, we will keep you updated as more songs will keep coming in. For now, listen and enjoy!

Dharma Women

Women play endless role and are an important part of our lives. Everything is incomplete without them, even the Indian film industry. This can be seen in various Dharma Movies, where women have been marked as a pillar without whom the movie would not make any sense, not only this, Karan has successfully portrayed various shades of women through the different characters in Dharma Movies

Starting from 'Gumrah' released in 1993, a story about Roshni who fights against the injustice done to her with courage and strength.In Kurbaan, another character Avantika portrayed the characteristics like courage, loyalty and Independent when she is betrayed by her own husband and fights against terrorism. Other special mentions include Mandira Khan - wife of Rizwan Khan, who pushes her husband away just to receive justice for her son. Similarly, there is Nanadini Raichand, Anjali from K3G. Tina and so on.

Dharma dedicated a whole day to it's Dharma Women. Click here > https://pinterest.com/dharmamovies/happy-women-s-day/ to pick your favorite Character!

"SOTY is my last stint at young film" - Karan Johar

Karan Johar has been real busy with the shooting of his upcoming movie Student of the Year. Recently he tweeted about his shooting schedule in Delhi “Am shooting the last day of the schedule in delhi....” as the shooting comes to an end in Delhi, Karan revealed some exciting news about the movie.

Firstly, Karan seems immensely impressed with the three kids in the movie and has announced about releasing their exclusive images on Twitter, a social media platform soon. As Karan said, “the 3 kids in SOTY are lovely!!! Sid has a silent strong charm....Varun has a real fun bratty appeal...Alia is vivacious and super cute!!!” After all this, it will surely be a treat to see their images! But it doesn’t end here, if you have been wondering when the movie will release, here is your answer, “For everyone asking SOTY is short for STUDENT OF THE YEAR...the film i am directing currently and will release in the fall of 2012!!!” straight from Karan Johar.

While shooting for Student of the Year Karan also felt nostalgic by remembering his first directorial movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, “At heart i think i was born old....even at 25 i felt more easy directing the second half of K2H2” it s clearly visible that dhooting the youth life makes him feel older and the same in Student of the Year. While shooting amongst the youngsters Karan is feeling older than he is suppose to, the same is visible when you read his tweet. In addition, he also mentioned that since he will be turning 40 this year, working with the youth makes him feel all the more old and this might be his last youth film, “Am going to be 40 in may!!! And filming with these 20+ actors has made me realise this is definitely my last stint at a "young" film!!!” this surely must be depressing for all Karan Johar fans. However, Karan believes in doing what is best for his movies and this way, he would give chance to more new talents who understand the current generation better.

With all this, it will be exciting to watch how Student of the Year will turn out to be, releasing this fall.
