Mar 21, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio) Release date for Oscar winner Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) starrer “Eat, Pray, Love” has been announced, its trailer is out, but now Hindus are concerned about the authenticity of the depiction of Hinduism objects-rituals-beliefs-concepts-traditions-philosophy in it.

Based on Pushcart Prize winner Elizabeth Gilbert’s spirituality/travel memoir (played by Roberts), “Eat, Pray, Love” (Buy the book Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia Online) is about her self-discovery and soul-searching after her nasty divorce, exploring through India, Italy, and Indonesia. Gilbert goes to India to learn the “art of devotion”. A critic has defined it as “the worst in Western fetishization of Eastern thought and culture”.

A fresh full song promo-preview trailer of the Hindi film song "Zindagi Do Pal Ki" has just been released from the eagerly awaited Hrithik Roshan - Barbara Mori starrer KITES (2010) Bollywood Hindi Movie.

The release date of Kites is May 21, 2010.

Hrithik and Barbara are shown riding a beat-up clunker on some dusty roads which appear to be in the US wild-west or south of the border. No seat belts are seen, and no cops either. Then the couple gyrates on a car being transported by a tractor-trailer car mover.

Kites is directed by Anurag Basu. Others in the cast include Kangana Ranaut and Luce Rains. Kites is produced by Rakesh Roshan, with music by Rajesh Roshan. Kites is distributed by Reliance Big pictures.

Bollyood lovers are excpecting KITES to be comeback movie for Hrithik, whose box office performance has taken a dip recently.

Barbara Mori is a South American actress-model.
