After Dabangg, Salman Khan's magic works again at the box office

Bollywood Super Star Salman's Action Movie Dabangg was broke the dry spell at the box office by earning 480 million Rupees in the opening weekend,This year Salman khan's Comedy Film Ready has brouhgt much needed respite by grossing 400 million rupees in realease of it's first week.The Corporate head of india's weve Cinema Yogesh Raizada Said,"Ready has had a good opening. The occupancy has been 90-95 per cent. It is more of a family entertainer. One would not see the kind of action that was in Dabangg and Wanted,"He also added "Salman is perfect in the film, he has done full justice to his character. Asin is also good in the film,"

In contrast to the Rs180 million Dabangg, a small-town cop drama shot in Wai in Maharashtra and partly in the UAE, Ready, shot entirely in Thailand, is expensive and is said to have cost Rs500 million."People are enjoying the film a lot, specially Salman Khan, although the shows have not been back-to-back houseful like Dabangg and Wanted,"

Just like Khan's 2008 hit Wanted, his Ready is performing much better in single screen theatres,their shows are going houseful. "The response to Ready is terrific. Till now, shows are going houseful. Everyone is appreciating Salman's acting. It is too early to say whether the film will be as big as Dabangg because today, every day counts because of the number of shows being played today,Trade experts, however, admitted that Ready will not enjoy a long stay at the box office like Dabangg.

"I was in denial" English actress & model and The "Harry Potter" superstar Emma Watson


English actress & model and The "Harry Potter" superstar Emma Watson opened up about her decision to leave Brown University and her coming to terms with fame.After abruptly dropping out of the Ivy League university, rumors began to circulate that the "Harry Potter" star had fallen victim to bullying by fellow classmates. Reportedly, she couldn't handle the various Hermione Granger jokes hurled at her by other students."It made me so sad when all this stuff came out that I left Brown because I was being bullied," she said. "It made no sense at all. Brown has been the opposite.

"I've never even been asked for an autograph on campus. I threw a party for nearly 100 students and not a single person put a photo on Facebook," she says. "Anyway, even if I was being given a hard time, I wasn't going to wuss out of university because someone said 'Wingardium leviosa' to me in a corridor, or 'Ten points for Gryffindor.' I've been dealing with the media sine I was nine. If I can't stand up to a few people giving me a hard time, it's a bit pathetic, really. I've had so much worse."If she could take any cue from her on-screen character, we're glad the girl got thick skin. She's achieved more success and made more money in the past 10 years than many of those kids would in their lifetime, anyway.

"I was in denial," she explains. "I wanted to pretend I wasn't as famous as I was. I was trying to seek out normality, but I kind of have to accept who I am, the position I'm in and what happened."Emma Saying , "I'd say to my friends, 'Why hasn't X called me? Why doesn't anyone ever pursue me?' They're like, 'Probably because they're intimidated.' It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me. Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating."Watson appeared at the MTV Movie Awards over the weekend, where she cheered on co-star Tom Felton as he accepted the award for "Best Villain" She also debuted a sneak peek at the upcoming (and final... sad!) installment of the "Harry Potter" franchise, due out mid July.....
