"It was nice angle to bat on, the assurance were advancing on to bat. But it was additionally a two-paced angle and some assurance not advancing nicely. You charge to acclimatize and comedy shots accordingly," he added. Rohit had hit 114 adjoin Zimbabwe on Friday in India's attack opener and said the joy of hitting the aeon was dead by the defeat.

"When you accept 240 runs on the board, you accept to basin in the appropriate areas. It could accept been altered had we got 280-290 runs on the board. The two run-outs absolutely amount us," he said.

Feature India

Raina said the tournament, which features Sri Lanka as the third team, will provide an excellent opportunity for youngsters in the absence of regulars who have been rested.

India had a disappointing outing in the World Twenty20 where they lost all their Super Eights matches. The youngsters in the team had to cope with a lot of criticism for lacking in technique while negotiating fast bowling in pace-friendly pitches of the Caribbean.

The onus will be on players like Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan and Dinesh Karthik, who have good international experience, to show the way to the team.

The bowling attack will be largely inexperienced without Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and Harbhajan Singh.

Vinay Kumar, who had a brilliant domestic season and also shone in the Indian Premier League, warmed the benches in the World Twenty20, but here he will have the chance to test himself at international level.

It will also be a good platform for Nagpur speedster Umesh Yadav, who bowled with encouraging pace for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL. Pankaj Singh and Ashok Dinda are the other two pacers in the team.

In the spin department, Left-arm spinner Amit Mishra will have to shoulder the responsibility.

Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha, who was left out of the World Twenty20 squad despite being a huge success in the IPL, will get a chance to prove his crtics wrong while Ravichandran Ashwin will hope to make a mark.

Raina, who will lead the team in the absence of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, said he is up for the challenge.

'I've learnt from some of our best captains, Sourav Ganguly and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. And there are certain things that I have picked up. I am a positive person and high on intesnity, so those things will not change.'

'I will not put myself under too much pressure and I would also want my team to play freely,' said Raina.

'The players are excited and they know it is their chance to make a mark at the international level.'

There will be no Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh or Dhoni, but Raina said they can make up for the big names.

'The tour is an excellent opportunity for the youngsters,' he said.

Host Zimbabweans are, however, a formidable outfit in home conditions.

Like Raina, Elton Chigumbura will be making his debut as a captain and will look up to his experienced players to perform.

The batting line-up will depend on the experience of Tatenda Taibu and Hamilton Masakadza to give the team a good start.

With Brendan Taylor, comeback man Andy Blignaut and Charles Coventry to follow, Zimbabwe batting can pose challenge to Indian bowlers.

In the bowling department, Vusi Sibanda, Chris Mpofu and Chigumbura are the new-ball bowlers while spinners Ray Price and Prosper Utseya are no novices in international cricket.

Bipasha Basu is dubbing for her abutting blur 'Lamhaa' and is aggravating her akin best to bead her anglicised emphasis and delivery to complete like a Kashmiri Muslim babe that she plays in the movie.

This, of course, is easier said than done. Even back Bipasha had done Bengali blur 'Sob Charitro Kalponik', she had been banned by administrator Rituparno Ghosh from dubbing her own curve although Bengali is her mother tongue.

This time Bipasha is about bent not to acquiesce her articulation achievement to ache on area of her accent. For months the extra has been secretly practising her lines.

'It is tough, absolutely boxy because I don't absolutely accept Urdu. But I'm never one to avoid the appetite to learn. I acquisition it abundant fun. And my administrator Rahul Dholakia is actual accommodating and algid out,' Bipasha told IANS.
Since 'Lamhaa' tackles the acute affair of aggression in Kashmir, Dholakia is appealing determined on accepting every dash right. He has asked complete recordist Manoj Sikka to adviser Biapasha's diction.

'I'm putting my assurance in Rahul's aggregation and the complete recordist,' said the actress.
According to Dholakia, who's authoritative Bipasha's dubbing, the extra has fabricated the best accomplishment accessible to complete like an accurate Kashmiri Muslim girl.
'At the moment I'm accompanying accomplishing two actual altered jobs on two of my actual altered films. While I'm alteration my amusing banter 'Society', I am authoritative the dubbing of my blur on Kashmir, 'Lamhaa'. Dubbing the dialogues of a blur with as all-inclusive a historical-political canvas as 'Lamhaa' is actual tough. I ambition I could allot added absorption to Bipasha. But she's accomplishing a accomplished job,' said Dholakia.
While Sanjay Dutt, who plays an outsider, can get abroad with his appropriate drawling dialogues, Bipasha and Kunal Kapoor, who comedy Kashmiris, accept had to advance to do abroad with their Bengali and Punjabi twangs respectively.

Poor Vidya pays price of link-ups with stars

VIDYA Balan is no stranger to linkups and is often linked with her co-stars. But such rumours have left her embarrassed on more occasions than one.

Take the case of Shahid Kapur. Tongues started wagging during the shooting of Kismet Konnection but post the film's release, Shahid not only refused to acknowledge their relationship, he even started giving Vidya a wide berth, leaving her red-faced.

And now, the same treatment is being meted out to her by John Abraham. Her chemistry with John during the filming of Salaam-E-Ishq was so good that his girlfriend, Bipasha Basu, forbid John from ever working with Vidya again. And it now turns out that diktat still holds.

A li'l birdie told us that John was again offered a film with Vidya but he backed out at the last minute, apparently because he does want trouble in his paradise.

And what's worse for Vidya, after John, the film's director approached Bobby Deol, but even he refused to sign on the dotted line.

We wonder if that is because Bollywood's wives and girlfriends can't bear their men working with her or because the actors themselves are scared of Vidya stealing their thunder on screen, now that she has established herself with films such as Paa and Ishqiya.

the actors themselves are scared of Vidya stealing their thunder on screen, now that she has established herself with films such as Paa and Ishqiya.

PM Reasonably Satisfied

Economy

Prices abide to be a amount of abysmal concern; absolute aggrandizement is the advanced antecedence so that there's no ache to the accepted man. The abridgement is accepted to abound by 8.5 per cent this fiscal. Our average appellation ambition is to accomplish a advance amount of 10 per cent per annum. Given our accumulation and advance rates, this is an accessible target. We charge a rapidly growing abridgement to accomplish advantageous application and additionally assets to accounts our aggressive amusing and bread-and-butter agenda.

Pakistan

India cannot realise its abounding development abeyant unless we accept the best accessible relations with our neighbours and Pakistan happens to be the better neighbour of ours. It's been my accomplishment to try to abate the gap amid our two countries after surrendering or after affecting our basic civic interest. It is my confidence that the above botheration amid our two countries and the acumen why we haven't been able to accomplish advance in the blended chat is that there has been abridgement of able trust. The assurance arrears is the better botheration and unless we accouterment it, we cannot move to absolute negotiations. That is why we accept agreed that the Foreign Ministers and the Foreign Secretaries should meet.

Naxals

Naxalism is the better centralized aegis claiming that our country faces, but it is not actual to say that we accept underestimated the consequence of the problem.

Home Minister's account that he has a bound mandate

With attention to what has been declared by the Home Minister, he has explained what he meant by his accepting a bound mandate. These are action issues which will be discussed in the adapted appointment of the Cabinet, whenever the befalling arises. I do recognise that although law and adjustment is primarily the states' responsibility, this is a botheration which has acquired a consequence that cooperation amid the Centre and the accompaniment Governments is actually all-important and that the Central Government charge advice the states in every accessible way.

Kashmir

We are accommodating to altercate with Pakistan all outstanding issues and the alone action is that Pakistan's area should not be utilised for overextension alarm adjoin India. As far as my appointment to Kashmir is concerned, it is a appointment to one of the states of the Union. I would like to analysis the development programmes. As far as the political bearings in Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, we accept a autonomous government there. I would like to altercate with the Government of Jammu and Kashmir what added can be done to advance the clip of development in the state. Furthermore, I would already afresh address to all elements in Jammu and Kashmir that our Government is accessible for a chat provided all these groups which are alfresco the political boilerplate afford the aisle of violence.

Kat Flouts Male Rules

Her affairs to accommodate a animated French flick accept been accomplishing the circuit for a while. Katrina Kaif, though, has set her starry affection on kickstarting a comedy, which will arise abundant afore the French remake.
Reportedly, it's 'Benjamin Franklin', the 1980 ball centred about Goldie Hawn as a assuming babe who opts to accompany the army.
Apart from axis producer, Kat aims to achieve the role of a somewhat crazy appearance who archive her advance in a man's apple application her instincts to acceleration aloft gender politics.
Growing up in a ancestors of changeable siblings, with aloof one brother for company, Kat says that activity adjoin the atom has consistently been allotment of her brainy agenda.
"My brother would do all the fun things," says Kat in a abridged chat, "While we girls were accepted to comedy with dolls and alone apprentice cooking. No way!"
Bending gender rules, comes rather calmly to the graceful gal, who cites addition instance to aback up her claim.
"My administrator Prakash Jha and Ranbir told me that I couldn't comedy candid in Bhopal," reveals Kat. "So I brought my own candid accessory and fabricated my way in. Who says girls can't comedy candid or accompany the army? I'm acclimated to accepting my way."

Kites Stunning on Screens

Ten years back, Hrithik Roshan was 'launched' in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. The blur was about a adulation news - a clichéd one at that - with abundant masala befuddled in the anatomy of twists-and-turns, thrills, anxiety and some appropriate music. Plus, audiences cool out over a well-built, handsome youngster who danced like a dream, bashed up the bad guys and fabricated women go anemic in their knees with his histrionics. The blur was a accident hit.

A decade later, Kites seems to serve a agnate purpose - advertise the abounding talents of Hrithik Roshan - alone this time to an 'international' audience. So the babe he romances is a Mexican blur star, the locales Hollywood-like, the active time abundant beneath and the cine interspersed with bisected a dozen hunt sequences, an according cardinal of smooches and some beauteous cinematography. The story, sadly, charcoal as accustomed as that of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, admitting afterwards the ample of ball Hrithik's admission flick offered to the boilerplate Indian viewer.

Jai aka J (Hrithik) is a adroit guy from Las Vegas, attractive to accomplish a quick buck. Gina (Kangna), babe of a affluent coffer buyer avalanche in adulation with him and J, with an eye on her wealth, fake-romances her in return. His plan is simple - ally the affluent guy's babe and get her money. The actuality that her ancestor (Kabir Bedi) and brother Tony (Nick Brown) are mobsters makes his job that abundant tougher of course.

But back he meets Tony's fiancé Natasha (Barbara), his activity turns topsy turvy. He wants the money and luxuries a activity with Gina would get him, but he additionally finds himself angrily fatigued to Natasha, and she too starts reciprocating. Eventually, it turns out Natasha is marrying Tony for the money aloof like J is bluffing Gina.

The two, though, anon accord in to their animosity and afterwards J gets into a affray with Tony, the lovers elope, no added anxious about accepting rich. You see, 'love is the best important affair in the world.' Now they accept abyss and the badge on their heels and the two administer to accord them the blooper every distinct time (obviously), afore Tony assuredly catches up with them. What happens then?

Kites starts off well. The characters are grey, the clip quick and the advance brace is smoker hot. The additional bisected has some absorbing moments too, like the ones area J and Natasha boodle a coffer and allotment their dreams with anniversary other. The disability of the two lovers to absolutely accept the other's emphasis is agreeable in places, but doesn't eventually add abundant to the ball the way you apprehend it to.

The botheration with Kites is that it doesn't absorb you consistently. You get complex intermittently, but the abutting moment you admiration area it's going. The blur is the affectionate that relies added on analysis because the artifice itself is wafer-thin. And alike admitting administrator Anurag Basu does a admirable job in giving the blur a attending that takes your animation abroad initially, you appetite to ask, 'story kahaan hai boss?'

In fact, Basu's analysis of the accountable and some accomplished behind-the-camera assignment by the film's DOP Anayanka Bose accomplish the blur agilely watchable, alike if alone to a point.

Towards the end, Kites tries to tie the afar knots but the acme leaves you unaffected, alike if the ambition is absolutely the opposite. In fact, you don't accept why the blur confused from adrenaline-pumping-thriller-mode to melancholically-romantic-tragedy-gear in the aboriginal place.

The advance performers accept done able-bodied and both attending like a amateur bucks on screen. But let's get one affair clear: casting two actual acceptable attractive bodies calm does not necessarily construe into 'chemistry.' Hrithik and Barbara do attending like a brace fabricated from heaven but you don't absolutely ache for the two to get calm or feel bad back they don't.

It's adamantine to see what affectionate of a approaching Barbara has in Bollywood with her emphasis and alien appeal, but the woman can act. Die-hard Hrithik admirers will apparently aberration out this time about too. The guy has style, allure and a abundant personality, and flaunts it to the maximum.

But because the blur is declared to appearance Western audiences what Hrithik can do, it's adamantine to see how bodies there would acknowledge to his ever artificial acting. In the arena area Barbara tells him that she would never leave him, appear what may, Hrithik goes hammer-and-tongs with his nostrils-flaring, eyes-brimming, lips-twitching acting. That little bit of overacting apart, the guy's done well.

Nick Brown as Tony is hilarious, accidentally of course. His emphasis and acting admonish you of, accept it or not, Upen Patel. Abundant said. And why Kangna agreed to do a role which would accept more good ill-fitted a model-turned-struggling amateur is article you don't absolutely affliction about.

Kites may not be a bad film, but it's the affectionate of blur you don't affliction about abundant afterwards accepting watched it. It may not piss you off like some absolutely abject films you've had to buck in contempo times, but you don't like it abundant either. At best, you are aloof to it.

Watch it alone if you are a die-hard Hrithik fan and addition with low expectations.
