Yes it's REAL - our home team's first trip
to super bowl pitted against Pittsburgh
STEELERS. For most of us it's a game of
ferocious gut wrenching tackles, passes and
steals between the best defenses in the
league with our very own dark horse
Cardinals.
The Super Bowl will be televised on NBC
from Tampa, Florida. Bruce Springsteen
(The Boss) will perform during halftime.
Game time is scheduled for on February
1, 2009 at about 4:20 p.m. in Phoenix.
Arizona will witness lot of super
bowl parties and this time around
the Indo American foundation has
also arranged for a big screen
extravaganza for fun. Check our
events calendar for more details.

2009 ... "Bollywood big
releases"
2009 will see Bollywood in a state of
flux: with the advent of the
corporisation of Bollywood, big budget
Films are now the rule and not the
exception: marketing budgets have
swelled and hype is the order of the
day, nowadays heavily hyped movies
garner a bigger opening despite all
else.
Big movies are once again on the cards
this year and some films expected to
generate box office heat this year are:
Delhi 6....(Rakesh Mehra's next
offering after the splendid Rang De
Basanti.: this film may walk away with
both the critical and box office acclaim
this year).
Ravana... (Master Director Mani
Ratnam's Abhishek & Aishwarya starrer
after the superb Guru: nuff said)
My name is Khan..(Karan &
Shah Rukh team up again: the
combo never fails to deliver).
Kites........( After a
hiatus Hrithik is once again
directed by his dad Rakesh
Roshan with the stunning Barbara
Mori opposite him: again nuff
said).
3 Idiots.....(Aamir
returns in a comedy after
the intense Ghajini : Aamir
= Quality: this will bring
in the crowds).
YashRaj Films untitled..(The
doyen of Bollywood
Cinema Yash Chopra will
probably direct Shah
Rukh in a mega multi
starrer to wrap up the
year: this one will
surely smash all box
office records).
On the fringes are
some films with high
expectations like
London Dreams,
Kambakht Ishq and Mr
and Mrs Khanna: and
there are the
sleepers with the
brilliant Ashutosh
Gowariker's What's
Your Rashi scheduled
for Diwali.
2009 promises
much: it might
very well be the
year of 'BIG'
To conclude: shun piracy
both online and on dvd form:
support Bollywood: go to the
movies and marvel at the
creativity of your own
Bollywood: it's part of your
life.
Cheers. Happy 2009.
