Actor and serial star Vikash Bhalla had been eliminated from Zee TV Star Ya Rockstar Program held on 23rd October, 2011. He had sung very well for the last 3 weeks.

All the participants did extremely well during Shammi Kapoor night before Asha Parekh on 22nd October, 2011. Participant Sumeet Raghavan said that he was sad about him always being less votes by the public. He said if Alisha Chinoy and Anu Malik had appreciated him for his performance in the previous 2 weeks, there was no reason why should have been there in the bottom two.


Two weeks back he sang Mohammad Rafi’s song “tum jo mil gaye ho to yeh lagta hai ke jahan mil gaya” from the film Hanste Zakhm composed by Madanmohan Kohli. On the following week he sang Mohammad Rafi’s song “kya hua tera wada” from the film Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin. Both Alisha Chinoy and Anu Malik appreciated him a lot.

Mansie Parekh and Sachin were adjudicated as best two singers of the week. The judges liked them a lot. Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoy had loved the participants and encouraged them at every level.

Sachin impressed Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoi in Star Ya Rockstar in Zee TV held on 15th October, 2011. Many filmstars and serialstars sung songs including Debina Banerjee, Ragini Khalla, Manish Paul, Neha Marda, Sumeet Raghavan, and others.

Sachin Pilgaonkar had been acting in Marathi and hindi films from the age of 8 years. He had acted in award winning films and commercial films. Viewers still remember his excellent performance as child artist in films like Brahmchari, Jewel thief, etc. He sang the song “pyar hume is mor pe le aya” and amazed Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoy. In the last week he sang the song “mai aya hoon” brilliantly. It appeared that if Sachin would not have been an actor he would have been a successful singer.

Ragini Khalla sang the song “lag ja gale”. Alisha Chinoy commented that her “sur” was not right. It was very classically oriented rendition of Lataji and required a lot of expertise. Sumeet Raghavan sang Mohammad Rafi’s song “tum jo mil gaye ho”. He did well, but the minute classical touch in the song could not be given. Even then Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoy gave good remarks.

Debina Banerjee sang the song “zara zara mehekta hai”. Alisha Chinoy said the effort was good, but lot of hard work is required to actually do justice to the song. Anu Malik was a bit liberal in his comment.

The effort of all the actors and actresses were good. But as music is a totally skilled area of work, a lot of practice has to be there to come up to the mark. At the end of the program Sachin sang the song “hoton se chulon tum” to give tribute to great ghazal singer Jagjit Singh who passed away a week back. Everyone paid their respect to the departed soul.

Prince had done average business.

Prince had done average business.

Kookie V. Gulati’s film Prince had done average business in the last three weeks after being released in early April, 2010. It had been produced by Kumar S. Taurani and music had been composed by Sachin Gupta.

In the film Vivek Oberoi played the role of a great thief. He realized one morning that he had a gunshot wound in his hand which he could not remember from where he had got it. He came to know that his name was Prince. He worked for a person named Sarang played by Isaiah. His girlfriend’s name was Maya, played by Aruna Shields.

Vivek Oberoi was wanted by Indian intelligence agency called IGRIP who dealt with white collar criminals across the world. He met a new girl everyday who claimed herself to be Maya. He had also hidden a heist which he never remembered. He had six days to solve the problem. The film revolved around that theme.

Although Vivek Oberoi had taken exceptional stunts and his performance in the film had been excellent, the Indian viewers had not received the film with that much enthusiasm. In the last 5 years, very few action films had done exceptional business, and that too under big banners, like Abbas Mastan’s film Race, are the ones which brought great revenue. Last year Vivek Oberoi’s matured performance in the film Kurbaan also could not revive the box-office of the film, inspite of the story being interesting.

The songs like “oh mere khuda” and “aa bhi jaa sanam” sung by Atif Aslam was well received by the audience. But save them, the music also could not create sensation. All these factors contributed to the average business of the film.

Bollywood industry is looking forward to the upcoming releases like Rajneeti, Guzaarish, Kites, Ravan, etc. , which can change the fortune of the industry. In the first four months of the year none of the films created any sensation. Let us hope the films to be released later on in the year would be successful.
