A major film release…a major film’s trailer release…a few high-profile Diwali bashes…the Diwali week pretty much kept Bollywood from being dull and boring!

While Salman Khan had his second release of the year this week, his good friend Shah Rukh Khan released the trailer of his much awaited and solo film of the year. Then there were Diwali parties and Bajirao Mastani also squeezed in to get its share of attention. Let’s look at the top 5 news-makers of the week!

Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale posters clash…again!
This Sunday, the makers of Bajirao Mastani released Priyanka Chopra’s Kashibai poster (drool!) and Deepika Padukone’s Mastani poster (OMG!) within a few hours. Since Priyanka wasn’t in the country, as she was shooting in Canada, Kashibai poster was released online but the Mastani poster was launched in a grand way. However, with a few minutes of the unveiling of the Mastani look, the makers of Dilwale released the first look of their lead cast – Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon – in a single poster, without any sort of intimidation. This, kids, is what we call us stealing someone’s attention!

PRDP Dubsmash vs Dilwale Dubsmash
Unlike the previous section, this was one rivalry that made everyone go Awwww! Salman Khan and his PRDP costars, including Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nithin Mukesh, Swara Bhaskar and Deepak Dobriyal, did a Dubsmash of Shah Rukh Khan’s DDLJ track. After that, the Dilwale team, including SRK, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon and Rohit Shetty, reciprocated the deed by doing a Dubsmash of PRDP’s title track. Seeing the growing camaraderie between SRK and Salman Khan, we can almost imagine Rakhee Gulzar popping up and say , ‘Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye!’


Dilwale trailer launched
The much anticipated Dilwale trailer was finally launched in a grand way by Shah Rukh Khan and his team, and as expected, it was a typical Rohit Shetty film with romance, comedy, action, high production values and more cars being blown. The only thing that now makes it unique is the SRK-Kajol pairing in the film, that comes of as the USP of the film.



The Diwali bash and the great reunion
The Bachchans held a big Diwali bash at their house, with Amitabh, Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan playing the perfect hosts. Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Preity Zinta, Vikas Bahl, Jacqueline Fernandez, Raveena Tandon, Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha, Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia etc. being the part of the guest roster. Then there was Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor’s party, where Salman Khan almost bumped into Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor!

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo gets a HUGE release



This Diwali week as purely reserved for Salman Khan’s goody-goody act in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. The film is directed by Sooraj Barjatya and also stars Sonam Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar, Deepak Dobriyal, Armaan Kohli and Neil Nitin Mukesh. As expected, the movie got an astounding start at the box office, but also received middling reviews instead. Still, the film will ride high on Salman Khan’s star-power. After all, when has his fans bothered with the opinions of the elite few?

All I knew about Bajirao Mastani‘s plot was that it was about the love story between Peshwa Bajirao I and Mastani, about whom one folklore say is a courtesan while other say is a warrior princess. Then there is the third angle of Kashibai, who happens to be Bajirao’s loyal wife!

While Ranveer Singh plays Bajirao and Deepika Padukone plays Kashibai, Priyanka Chopra will taking on the role of the neglected spouse, Kashibai. Though I am yet to see how Sanjay Leela Bhansali has presented this love triangle (majestic, it will be, that’s for sure…but we will have to wait till December 18 to find out!), I can’t help but feel a bit of resentment for Ranveer Singh’s Bajirao!

Sorry Ranveer fans, but it has nothing to do with the actor. It’s more to do with character. I mean, how can he leave such an angelic face and go for Mastani, no matter how beautiful she might be!

No idea what I am talking about? Well, let me clear it for you. After revealing, Ranveer Singh’s look as Bajirao, the makers of Bajirao Mastani have released Priyanka Chopra’s look in the film, and Dear Lord, she looks absolutely beautiful! It’s hard not to fall in love with that angelic smile, as Priyanka looks absolutely stunning in that nauvari sari! With diyas in her hand, it really feels like Diwali has come four days earlier for her fans.

She has certainly raised the bar for Deepika Padukone, as Mastani poster should be terrific enough pop our eyes out, or we will still be thinking what made Bajirao leave Kashibai to go for Mastani!

Actor Ranveer Singh, who stars alongside his rumoured girlfriend Deepika Padukone in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani, said he couldn't get his eyes off her in the forthcoming historical romance film's new song Deewani Mastani.



The song, which was launched on October 17, features Mastani (Deepika) in all her beauty and glory.

Ranveer took to Twitter recently to share his thoughts about the song, which has been sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Ganesh Chandanshive.

They may deny their relationship how much ever they want, but the truth is out there for everyone to see. Be it them doing dubsmash videos together or playing the dhol in front of the media, Ranveer and Dippy surely are head over heels for another. And these latest pictures of the two at the airport, are only proving our point! The two love birds were spotted at the airport, looking trendy and fashionable, as usual.



Dippy looked chic in a pair of black slacks and top, which she teamed with a funky polka dotted white shirt, black sneakers and a matching fedora hat.

The Bajirao Mastani actress completed her look with a pair of swanky shades and she truly looked like a lady, much in Vogue! Her beau Ranveer on the other hand, was seen in a pair of denim half pants, which he teamed with sneakers, black shades and a cap. This couple surely is one of the most stylish ones on the block, right peeps?



It was nice to see the two walking together side by side and being comfortable in front of the media. The usually guarded Dippy let her hair loose for once, and embraced Ranveer before heading her separate way! It looks like the actress gave her beau an air kiss before stepping into her car. Check these pictures out:





Now we aren’t sure whether Dippy simply hugged Ranveer,gave him a peck on his cheek or air kissed him. But it certainly seems like she did the last one. One can and will never know! Nonetheless, we love this picture and the fact that the couple was openly embracing one another in front of the shutterbugs.
Aren’t Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone the cutest? Comment out below.
