Oops, looks like you registered it with "godaddy", not Netsol...in any
case, there is a HOST record registered for the wrong address and you need
to delete it. As a general rule, it's a real bad idea to have your top level
domain ("movierate.com") also be your nameserver - which is the most likely
reason why a HOST record was added, since that is required for all
nameservers. It looks like it is not a listed nameserver now, so I suspect
that you must have changed it at some point.
Bottom line: delete the HOST record in their database.
