The King Planning To Sell Off Kolkata Knight Riders



The King has always been associated with success. Everything he touched turned gold, be it Chak De India or Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi or KBC 3. Success is the middle name of The king.

When The King had purchased KKR, everybody was scrambling to be associated with KKR just because The King was associated with it. Therefore KKR became the most sponsored team and in turn became the only profitable team in the inaugural IPL beating away more high profile teams owned by Ambani or Mallya.

But all these things refused to translate into on field performances from the KKR. The last nail being the loss to the minnows - Bangalore. It was the last thing that The King wanted and there was nothing that he could possibly do about it.

So now The King is in talks with Nokia, ADAG, Sahara and some other companies for selling off KKR. According to sources, The King is getting around double the price he paid for purchasing KKR. He has recovered every penny he invested into KKR and is getting monumental profits even by selling off a mediocre team. This is why The King is labelled an articulate businessman. Since his real estate ventures in Dubai are bringing him huge profits, his company Redchillies also doing good, he can safely wash his hands off KKR.

The only identity that KKR had was that The King was its owner and now it would be interesting to see who could stop KKR from free falling once The King's name is disassociated from it.

As far as I am concerned the day The King sells off KKR, I will support the Deccan Chargers as I am from Hyderabad and was supporting the KKR just because of The King.

Breaking News: The King and Aamir Khan Patch Up!!!!!



As I was flipping through the news channels, there was this news that was being splashed in all news channels, 'The King and Aamir Khan patch up'. I was like is it true? and yes it was.

After all what was it that had brought two sworn enemies together??? It was the ongoing tussle between the producers and the multiplex owners. The King and Aamir Khan had met at Karan Johar's home and their reconciliation lasted almost six hours and they emerged arm in arm. They are scheduled to address a press conference together to show their solidarity with the producers of Bollywood.

It is the revenue sharing terms which is the issue of contention between the producers and the multiplex owners and untill it is sorted out, no movie big budget movie will release in India.

Now that The King and Aamir Khan have patched up, lets see what other juicy bite can the media industry harp on?????

P.S:- I have changed the name of this blog from 'triplemsworld' to 'triplemsdreamz'.

The 'KING' Does India Proud..........AGAIN !!!!!



Golden Globes - One of the biggest awards ceremony in the world was held in Hollywood yesterday and needless to say the very beautiful Slumdog Millionaire won all the important awards at the ceremony.

For the first time ever, the Golden Globes had a major Indian connection to it. Slumdog Millionaire - The movie that won the Best Movie Award, was a story of an Indian and was completely shot in India. A.R Rahman (arguably the World's best Musician) won the Golden Globe for the Best Music.

Finally, the throne was perfectly set for the 'KING' to descend and he descended in awesome elan and swept Hollywood off its feet. Wearing a Black suit and a tie inside his shirt, he walked in and the world looked with awe at the MOST POWERFUL FILM STAR OF THE WORLD as he stood before them. He surely had the entire Hollywood in splits with his trademark cheeky humour.

It was the first time ever that an Indian was being invited to an awards ceremony as big as the Golden Globes to present an award. This surely is the beginning of the recognition of India worldwide and King Khan is one of its driving force or maybe a major driving force.

After having made it to the Newsweek's list of World's 50 Most Powerful People at the 41st position, King Khan has again added a 'First' to many of his 'Firsts'. And mind you he is the only movie star of the world to have made it to the list, leaving behind the more hyped Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.

But still there are people who debate on King Khan's power. Some make films with the title Kinng(note the spelling mistake) and some guy calls himself the King - a claim that is supported and endorsed only by him and his cronies. Maybe he is actually suffering from short term memory loss because he always keeps on forgetting that King Khan is currently at such a dizzying height of fame and power that he could never reach that place all his life no matter how hard or maybe how negatively he tries.

ONLY SRK IS KING!!!!!!!!!!


Today morning as I was reading the Times of India, I stumbled upon an article which said 'Who is the King?' and I was surprised to see the biasness of TOI towards Akshay Kumar when comparing him to King Khan.

I would like to reveal their biasness in the same manner as they put it in their article.

BIG SCREEN BATTLE:-
TOI View:- In the year 2007 Akshay had 4 hits and King Khan had 2, so naturally $ hits outweigh 2.
Rational View:- Akshay Kumar no doubt had 4 hits and its total collections excluding the taxes were to the tune of 290 crores including Indian and overseas collections, which means that on an average an Akshay Kumar film grosses 72.5 crores.
King Khan had 2 hits and its total collections excluding taxes were around 196 crores including Indian and overseas collections, which means that on am average, a King Khan film grosses 98 crores.
SO WHO IS THE KING?

SHOW THEM:-
TOI View:- It compared the TV shows of King Khan(Paanchvi Paas) and Akshay Kumar(Khatron Ka Khiladi). It said that while AKshay was perfect for Khatron Ka Khiladi but even Saif Ali Khan would have pulled off Paanchvi Paas.(Even Saif Ali Khan would also be smiling at this pathetic nonsense).

Rational View:- Akshay kumar was suited to do Khatron Ke Khiladi, because he is the only actor who had done films with 'Khiladi' and that would be on the minds of the public.
If Saif Ali Khan could have pulled off Paanchvi Paas, then the Star people could well have roped in Saif for a much lower price in the wake of the ever increasing inflation. But the question is not about pulling off the show. The question is about pulling the public to watch the show and nobody can ever compete with King Khan on that front. Not even Akshay Kumar because whatever King Khan tells India believes.

SO WHO IS THE KING?

Yehi hai right choice, baby?
TOI View:- King Khan endorses more brands than Akshay Kumar, so that reduces King Khan's credibility and increases Akshay Kumar's credibility.

Rational View:- The reason why Akshay Kumar endorses fewer brands is that the corporates don't find Akshay Kumar saleable enough. As simple as that.
King Khan endorses the most brands because all the corporates are aware of the immense saleability power of King Khan.
1) When Nokia ran through a rough phase amidst bursting of mobiles, it had to look to King Khan to boost up its dwindling fortunes.
2) When ICICI was flooded with rumours of bankruptcy, it went to King Khan to salvage them.
3) Even TOI had appointed King Khan as its Ambasador for the 'LEAD INDIA' campaign to give it a global appeal. Why did'nt it take in Akshay Kumar?
4) Hyundai took King Khan's help to compete its Santro with Maruti in the small car segment of the Indian market.
5) Kolkata Knight Riders was the only team that made profit in the inaugural IPL, because of King Khan's amazing marketing skills.
6) SRK was the only India offered Knightship(DATUK) by Malaysia.
The list is endless.......................................

SO WHO IS THE KING?
P.S:- Mark Twain had correctly said:- "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you are misinformed." Well.....after reading today's TOI, I am forced to believe it.

Why Shah Rukh Khan is India's Biggest Superstar Ever ?


Because he is the only Indian who can stop traffic in Berlin.

Because with a forthcoming television show (Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hai), an IPL cricket team (Kolkata Knight Riders), a thriving production house(Red Chillies) , and two of last year’s biggest hits—Chak De! India and Om Shanti Om—under his belt, he is everywhere at once.

Because when he sprouted a six pack, Indian men hit the treadmill with a vengeance.

Because the day when his film hits the theatres is no less than a festival in India.

Because the word KING is synonymous with his name- King Khan.

Because very few people doubted him when he said,' I will destroy Saawariya.'

Because his friends cut across several alpha people groups, whether it is Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani or Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi.

Because every Indian is privy to everything about him, including how much time he spends in the bathroom.

Because in one song of Om Shanti Om, he hosted almost the entire industry including his famed rivals, the Bachchans.

Because his work ethic is matched only by his endless energy.

Because he is not content with just being a movie star.

Because anything that is associated with SRK sells like hot cakes.

Because he is the highest paid actor of India.

Because only he had the guts to stand by Shoaib Akhtar when everybody else deserted him.

Some rare known trivia about him:-

Is Obsessive About: Installing a biometric security system in his already fortress-like home.
Biggest Discovery: “That glass is a liquid, because a window pane is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top.”
Word He Says Most: Inshaallah.
Currently Reading: The fine print in the IPL prospectus. When he tires of reading it in bed, he switches to re-reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead.
Loves To Hang Out With: His 10-year-old son Aryan and his friends, in his den at Mannat.
