vivaha bhojanambu aka THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN



Ask any old generation moviebee about their favorite wedding/fun songs, and among the top in that list will feature Vivaha Bhojanambu from the movie Mayabazar (1957). How many times did we not grin while SV Rangarao playing the mythical character Ghatodgaja devouring the wedding lunch meant for thousands all alone? Well, even this song, the favorite of many Telugu Cinefans from more than half a century, has been 'inspired' from an English song. Yes, the song is a music hall song called The Laughing Policeman by Charles Penrose in 1922. This song has sold over a million copies world-over and has been a frequently requested song on BBC Radio 1 in the show 'Junior Choice'.

James Bond Operations end officially, No Bond movie in future

.

End to Bond Era...



The 23rd James Bond film has been officially axed and insiders predict it could be years before the suave spy is back on the big screen again. In April, production on the 23rd movie on Bond, who was to be portrayed by Daniel Craig for the third time, had been postponed due to "financial problems" at movie studio MGM, but now it has been cancelled altogether, Daily Mirror online reported. "Members of the production crew have been told the Bond film has been canned. There is a lot of bad feeling as a lot of time, money and hard work has already gone into this," an insider told the newspaper. Sam Mendes had been lined up to direct the movie but now it could be years before 007 is back on the big screen. Production company EON said in a statement, "We do not know when development will resume and cannot comment further at this stage." MGM is said to be in USD 3.7 billion worth of debt and at the moment six years is the biggest gap between films, from 1989's 'Licence to Kill' and 'Goldeneye', which came out in 1995
