Slumdog, Bollywood Braveheart and King Khan
It's been a been another hectic week, the snow has melted and we finally feel 2010 has started - we caught up with friends had fun and frolics throughout the week.What we've noticedÌýevery time you switch on the TV there is some programme or another referring to a Slumdog Season!
There is more to India than slums, maybe the weather is finally improving now the Indian Winter Season has ended, but on a positive note it was great to see two Bollywood Blockbusters shown at a decent time -OM SHANTI OM and DHOOM 2 the reaction has been fab.
Is it us or does everything look really grubby at the moment? What we need is some Bollywood Bling to cheer us up and to a certain extent we got that with the eagerly awaited Salman Khan Brave heart meets Bollywood.
Veer has it's moments Salman's good, Mithun is terrific, and Zarine Khan makes an excellent debut - could have been tighter and the battle scenes stronger - the non asian actors weren't that impressive but on the whole the essence is great, ignore the critics and watch this if you are a Salman Khan fan - as usual he excels!
ÌýNext week there are two releases- Ram Gopal Varma's look at the media in Raan with Amitabh Bachchan and the Vidya Balan starrer Ishqyia. Both are different films and look promising which one are you going to see first?
FinallyÌýare we good to you or are we good to you? - The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Asian Network is giving you the chance to join us in conversation and be part of An Audience with Shah Rukh Khan for more details go to the website bbc.co.uk/asiannetwork

Till next week

We are so glad that the weather is finally showing signs of improvement - it has indeed been an Indian Winter.Ìý Boilers are breaking down all around us - nearly everyone on the team has had to call out the "wee men" to groan and puff while fixing those essential temperamental machines.
Indian Winter?
Well what can we say? The country is still at a halt,Ìýwhen will it stop snowing?!
Is this what we canÌýexpectÌýof an Indian Winter? Today's show was taken over by Pablo and hisÌýquest to find his Monkey a name - his soft toy became the focus of the entire show!
We had some great suggestions from you guys but check out RajÌýlosingÌýhis patience withÌý the whole thingÌýin the studio!
A Bollytastic 2KX
It was brilliant to be back for the beginning of a new decade - thank you for all your Bollywonderful messages!Ìý Like everyone, we have been freezing and apart from venturing out against the elements to have a rugby tussle in the sales, it's been perfect weather to cuddle up in a duvet with a hot water bottle, channel hop and catch up with all our Bollywood DVDs.Ìý
