Why Bollywood biggies be giving IIFA '09 a miss



Mumbai: Even as the IIFA's 10th anniversary is being celebrated this year in Macau, ironically, almost all the top stars to have helped made IIFA the grandest Indian film awards show with their breathtaking performances over the years will give the ceremony a miss.

Here's the top 10 absentees listing from this years IIFA's.

At no 10 is the jodi of Karan johar and Farah Khan - both be busy with My Name is Khan while KJO is directing the movie Farah is getting SRK to move and shake to her steps, yet again.
At no 9, Rani Mukherjee hasn't be doing much lately but even she decided to give IIFA a miss this year

The 8th spot belongs to Preity Zinta - another actress who seems toward has almost retired - her latka jhatakas (shakes and twists) will be dearly missed

The 7th slot belongs to John '6 packs' Abraham who will also remain absent, much to the dismay of his female fans that have grown at an exponential rate since Dostana.

No. 6 belongs to fresh kids on the block Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan -
Ranbir almost agreed to perform at the awards but backed out later. If reports are near believed he didn't want to overexpose his new look - which he will be sporting for Rocket Singh. And Imran Khan's wont be present because of "Personal Reasons." We wonder if Mamu's had some "Personal" words with him after the Filmfare awards.

At no 5 and 4, he brings down the house each time he takes the stage but fans will ignore Shahid Kapur's scintillating performance this year as he's busy shooting for Vishal bharadwaj's Kaminey and Shahid's ex-flame Kareena Kapoor will also stay away from the ceremony as she joins beau Saif who's busy promoting his latest flick Love Aaj Kal at T20 world cup in England.

At no 3, Badboy Salman Khan is support on the small screen with Dus ka Dum season 2 and while that's a treat for his fans that is also the reason why rejected the orgainisers plea for a Sallu performance at Macau.

The Runner's up position goes to King Khan -over the past few years SRK chose to stay away from the IIFA as it was considered to be a Bachchan Family affair but while Big B buried the hatchet with Khan this year many expected the Badshah at Macau this year - but a vacation with his family and My name is Khan kept Shah Rukh away.

The numero uno is Khiladi Kumar who has been the real star of the IIFA awards over the years. His breathtaking performances will be dearly missed as he takes son Aarav also Wife Twinkle on a family vacation . Akshay was also busy promoting his latest Kambakht Ishq in Aamchi Mumbai.

Kerala boat tragedy: Thirty five bodies have been fished out of the water

THEKKADY / KOCHI: A thick veil of grief descended on the famed tourist spot of Thekkady on Wednesday when Kerala witnessed its worst ever boat tragedy in the Mullaperiyar waters as the KTDC’s Jalakanyaka, carrying about 76 passengers, sank. Thirty five bodies have been fished out of the water. Any hope of finding more tourists alive faded with the daylight even as rescue personnel continued their desperate search. The two-deck boat, commissioned just a month back, was returning to the boat landing after an hour-long sight-seeing trip when tragedy struck. All the passengers on the upper deck apparently rushed to one side of the boat to take photos of a lone bison spotted on the shore. At the same time many from the lower deck flocked to the top leaving the lower almost empty. This movement and the uneven distribution of weight caused the boat to overbalance and turn turtle. Those remaining on the lower deck were trapped inside while about 20 on the upper deck were rescued by other boa

Special Status For Jammu & Kashmir Scraped: 5 Points About Article 370

Jammu & Kashmir will also be "reorganized," Home Minister Amit Shah said as talks about the state being trifurcated into three separate fields- Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh NEW DELHI: Article 370, which gives Jammu & Kashmir unique status, will be withdrawn this morning in parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah said . The announcement came after his cabinet meeting at his house this morning was held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi . Article 370 is a ' temporary provision ' granting special autonomous status to Jammu & Kashmir . It allows the state to draft its own Constitution and restricts the legislative powers of the parliament over the state. The government therefore requires state government approval for all legislation, except those related to defence, foreign affairs, finance, and communications. Parliament can not also improve or decrease the boundaries of the State under Article 370 As a consequence, citizens of Jammu & Kashmir

Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta Movie Review: Tiring and Unsatisfying

Movie Rating: 3/5 First of all things! The director's weakest film is the long delayed Enai Noki Paayum Thotta by Gautham Menon . The film's main weakness is the director's fascination with narrative style voice-over. It was good before Gautham used voice-over as a medium to tell his stories, but every scene in Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta begins and ends with Dhanush's voice-over, which irritates us after a point. The film is filled with tired stereotypes, and at a runtime of 157 minutes it is an unsatisfying watch. Like any other movie from Gautham Menon, here too hero Raghu (Dhanush) is a student of engineering, but this time his wife is not a student, but a film heroine Lekha ( Mega Akash ).She tells him she is not interested in movies and her boss Kuberan (Senthil Veeraswamy) coerced her into the profession for money (it looks like the girl is an orphan and Kuberan supported her studies and is her guardian). Raghu takes her to his Pollachi house and introduc
