But it was only Asoka who had Shahrukh and Kareena's romantic pairing. KJo's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham had Kareena playing only Shahrukh's sister–in–law and since then all these years we just kept waiting to see the 2 stars romancing.

But now the long wait is finally over! As we will soon see the 2 top–notch stars – Shahrukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor once again scorching the screen with their rocking chemistry in Shahrukh's Priyadarshan directed Billo Barber.

Apart from Kareena, Priyanka and Deepika will also be seen shaking legs with Shahrukh Khan. As Billo Barber hits the screens coming February, Meanwhile we can delight ourselves with the promos.

Five reasons to see Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Yash Raj banner’s recently released Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a much talked movie nowadays. Released on December 12, SRK starrer has been declared a box office success. For last 10 days, the Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi had received mixed responses from critics and cine-lovers. However, some critics have gone heavily against the director Aditya Chopra and explained the movie plot a weaker one.

I have also seen the movie and liked the overall content and here I am presenting my logical views. First of all, I would like to clear, that I am writing as an ardent movie lover and not where my motive is to support Aditya Chopra or the main protagonist Shahrukh Khan.

I don’t believe upon exaggerating the things or beat around the bushes, so let me explain Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’s positive aspects through five positive points. It’s true that there are negative points in the movie too, but a true cinema lover can overlook them.

- First and the most powerful positive aspect of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is this a family film. Nowadays when most of the movies’ plot revolves around sex, crime and illicit relationships, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi provides a wonderful chance to see a neat and clean movie along with whole family. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a simple love story, portrayed in a nice way by Aditya Chopra. Nowhere in the movie, the objectionable scenes have been shown, which are now common in today’s movies. So, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a good gift from the Yash Raj banner to Indian traditional families who hardly get change to see such movies along with family.

- Shahrukh Khan also called the ‘lover boy’ has once again proved his acting abilities. King Khan has played the dual characters of Surinder Sahani and Raj, very well. The character of simple Surinder Sahani shows the maturity level of Shahrukh, while in Raj’s role he proves that he is still the best loving guy of the country.

- Debutant Anushka Sharma has justified the character of Taani very well opposite veteran star Shahrukh. Despite being a new comer, Anushka has given good expressions in both lighter as well as heavier moments of the movie. Overall, you can expect a promising career ahead for Anuskha.

- Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi brought movie brought back smile in the struggling Bollywood. In addition, the movie also provided some pleasant moments to terror hit Mumbai and the country as well.


- Simplicity and limited budget is another important aspect of the movie. Aditya Chopra who had earlier given the superhits Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayanege and Mohabbatein, proved that cine-lovers love the content of the movie not the huge budget. Locations and sets of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi are very simple and they provides a fine glimpse of simplicity of the country.

On the whole, I would like to suggest movie critics who had present their views against Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, without taking into account positive and negative aspects. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a simple and nice movie. Today, when some movie makers don’t think before showing the non-sense gay and lesbian relationships on the screen, at least movies like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi maintains the ethics of the Indian art form cinema. If we do not like plots like Rab Ne Bana Jodi, then there are fair chances that in the coming time, the deep-rooted cultured families will avoid to visit the cinema theatres. And, it may also mask cinema’s definition as an art form.

SRK ranked among 50 most powerful people

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been ranked among the 50 most powerful people in the world by the prestigious Newsweek magazine. Shah Rukh Khan, who occupies 41st spot in the magazine's 50 most powerful people, was described as the "King of Bollywood."

"It's not just that his ( Shah Rukh Khan's) romantic flicks make gazillions, it's where those gazillions come from. Khan is huge in the Muslim world, even in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the mullahs ban his films. (The movies thrive on the black market.," the newsweekly said.

"Their main appeal is certainly the song-and-dance numbers, but Khan (a Muslim married to a Hindu) makes devoutly secular films where love trounces bigotry."
