The film ‘My name is Khan’ is a big banner movie casts Kajol and Shahrukh Khan in lead roles. In this film Shah Rukh Khan plays a challenged man role who was threatened by the religion he follows.

Vishal Bhardwaj takes on RGV: Today two most awaited movies released Ishqiya and Rann. Ishqiya is Vishal Bhardwaj production while Rann is directed by Ram Gopal Varma. Both Vishal Bhardwaj and Ram Gopal Varma are well known for making out some unusual and unconventional films. Ishqiya is directed by Abhishek Chaubey but it has stamp from Vishal Bhardwaj Pictures Pvt. Ltd. Both movies are with completely different story and released on the same date so it is expected to have tough competition on the box office between the two movies. Rann is like a truth of today’s world which is happening in daily life. As most of news channels believe in showing news making them more entertainment source instead of showing the facts as it is. Media is only source through which we get to know the latest happening in the country and world so it is important that they present the real facts instead of making their own stories.

S Sreesanth is also returning back to home because of hamstring injury so Indian team will also have to look at another bowler options. Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium has flat and slow wicket so Indian team may consider two fast and two spin bowler for the match. Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra both will be playing most probably as Amit Mishra shown good bolwing in the first test match. Indian pacers Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan are also in good form as they shown their performance by taking five wickets in first match. Bangladeshi team is not worried about any injuries but their batsman were failed to perform well in last match after bowlers shown good game in first inning. Bangladeshi team will put their complete effort to win the match and level the series if they can’t win series.
