Priyanka imitates Vidya Balan

Priyanka Chopra known for her funny imitation of actors didn't spare Vidya Balan this time around.

Priyanka Chopra is one funny mimic. We liked the way PC imitated Kareena Kapoor's act from Golmaal, Shah Rukh Khan's from My Name is Khan and Salman's from Dabangg in an award show last year.

Priyanka ensured she was as entertaining a presenter for the 'Best Film' category as the famous spoof players Riteish Deshmukh and Boman Irani.

This year for the same award function, Priyanka has apparently aped none other than Vidya Balan!

Onlookers informed, "Priyanka and Shah Rukh posed as Vidya and Naseeruddin Shah from Dirty Picture. Vidya wore the same pink outfit of Vidya's from oo la la and danced just like her. What made everyone laugh was Priyanka's overnight weight gain! She stuffed herself to look fat on stage, like Silk Smitha!"

Spoofing nominees is not a new trend. Saif and Shah Rukh started it. Ranbir and Imran have done the same for Filmfare.

Wonder how will Vidya's fans react to this act of Priyanka's though!

Review: ‘4084 Chaalis Chaurasi’ – Churning Cash and Comedy!

Boasting of a veteran cast, ‘4084 Chaalis Chaurasi’ is not your typical Bollywood comedy. It is a movie which hasn’t seen phenomenal publicity and marketing, but has emerged a winner as far as the trend in the Hindi film industry is concerned. A group of four friends set out to rob a deserted house that shelters a note-vending machine. Once the aim is in place, all that the group lacks is the elemental part of any plan – the plan!

The consummate acting skills of Naseeruddin Shah hardly need any explanation. Add to that actors like Kay Kay Menon, Atul Kulkarni, Zakir Hussain and Ravi Kissen, and you have a delectable dose of entertainment even where the recipe is amiss! The film abounds in unpredictable twists and turns and takes you through a roller-coaster ride – both literally and otherwise. With each participant of the gang ambling their way into it with their individual dreams and aspirations, the four hardly have a plan in place. Naseeruddin Shah is an absolute delight for the senses. From the HOD of English at a University to this conman who executes his mission with amazing alacrity is an incredible journey. Pankaj (Shah)’s literary past is revealed only when we hear him lecturing on the ‘anatomy’ of a fellow professor he admired in his salad days.

Menon (Albert Pinto) is impeccable as a car thief. His past laurels include a Mercedes and a BMW. But now his eyes lust after Fiats. He wants a classic, vintage Fiat for himself; and to reach that end, he is seen stealing Fiats and destroying them. The motive: he shall be the only owner of Fiat in the entire city of Mumbai! Menon pulls off his feat with brilliant skill, and the viewers are left applauding him.

The other actors have given equally dumfounding performances. Director Hriday Shetty has undeniably pulled off a stunner!

The four impostors get embroiled in a case involving real gangsters, and the film leaves you going off into peals of laughter. ‘4084’ is fresh, and can herald a new genre of comedy into the Hindi Film Industry. Shake a leg with a gyrating Naseeruddin Shah, and laugh out loud this weekend!
