Bollywood's Biggest Star Celebrates his 50th Birthday- Happy Birthday Salman Khan





Gone are those day that the 20 or 30 year old male actors entering the game and taking it over.  Similar to Hollywood, Bollywood is also led by the elder statesman. If Hollywood has Cruise, Washington, Hanks, Pitt than Bollywood has Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan.   One would think that by the age of 50, one would slow down as the film industry tends to hawk on beauty and youth but that's not the case any more.




Bollywood's biggest bad boy actor (a mix of Stallone, Cruise and Sean Penn) celebrates his 50th.  He delivered Bollywood it's 2 biggest hits of the year and 2016 is not slowing down for him.




He's known to have a temper and he never holds his words back, yet the man has a heart of gold. He's the founder of BEING HUMAN- a charity foundation that helps millions.  He's known to help newcomers find movies, and the right projects.






 He's launched the career of many male and female stars...






He's made the list of Forbes highest paid actor as he beat DiCaprio, yet he lives in a 1 bedroom apartment near his parents.




Film Junkeez wants to wish the bad boy of Bollywood a happy birthday!

Big Weekend- Across the World




It's the weekend that many moviegoers and film buffs have been waiting for.  Personally, I'm not a big fan of the Star Wars series, yet i'm probably the only one of the few that doesn't care for the movie.  Millions of people around the world are jumping with joy as J.J. Abrams taking the director's seat from Lucas.  
For the record, I consider Abrams to be one of the best directors of my generation. This man has proved himself over and over and I have no doubt that he's going to kill it with the Force Awakens.  
As huge Star Wars is, Bollywood is becoming a force itself, and fans of Bollywood movies are not only the great people of India and Pakistan, but from all over the world.   




This weekend, the King of Bollywood- Shahrukh Khan is returning in "Dilwale" with co-star and love interest from the classic Bollywood movie "Dil Wala Duniya le Jayenge". Kajol and Shahrukh are the equivalent of the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan onscreen couple.  SRK ( nick of Shahrukh) and Kajol bring magic to the screen for the bollywood lovers.  




 But the fight doesn't stop here as on the other side of the ring comes the magnum opus " Bajirao Mastani" directed by the highly acclaimed director - Sanjay leela Bhansali.  Bhansali is known for taking it to the next level with each of his movies.  This director is synonymous with grandeur and style, and his films are always larger than life. 




















Recap
Star Wars - with J.J. behind the camera, I smell a winner
Bajirao vs Dilwale? Can Bhansali take SRK's star power and give it the 1-2? Yes, I think Dilwale has a killer combo yet early reviews state the movie lacks substance and Bhansali's Bajirao has nothing but substance!  But, let's not forget that SRK and Bhansali battled it out a few years back with SRK in Om Shanti Om and Bhansali's Saawairya and SRK hit it out the park!

Check out the trailers below for both films- what are you thoughts?
