Deepika's Dum Maaro Dum Review

2011-04-25T04:51:00.000-07:00

Deepika's Dum Maaro Dum Review: Abhishek Bachchan is no Rajinikanth, but his section scene in Dum Maaro Dum makes you feel similar to a spaced out hippy on a harsh corrosive outing.

In what looks similar to a crush-and-seize attack at a rave bar in Goa, he--an opiates officer and a degenerate one at that--does a blinder with a homerun stick, crushing all things from martini glasses to splayed palms connecting for those mystery pills I’m confident large portions of you have prior knowledge regarding. The whole arrangement, surreal and in moderate movement, plays out in opposition to hallucinogenic lights, essentially giving the heightened of a legitimate Dum to a short winded viewer.

The frisson, nonetheless, fails out soon, for a few reels later this serious cop--now respectable when a private grievousness--is made to break into an embarrassingly thick rap melody Thayn. It's this teeter-totter chart of the Rohan Sippy-administered film that makes Dum Maaro Dum kabhi dum kabhi flop.

Film writer Sridhar Raghavan lays the pitch for a nail-gnawing ‘who-is-it’, but comes up short to dope out a screenplay that keeps you caught regardless of the appearing frosty trail of Barbossa. For the most part, Kamath is reduced to an extreme gathering-pooper, busting the raves, roughing up the firangs, and uncovering his teeth to Biscuta. For the most part, the cop looks like pursuing his particular tail. At long last and entirely puzzlingly, Kamath puts all his confidence on a shady describe by Lorry who's squatted in an adolescent detainment focus. Then again when the riddle is at extended final unravelled, the viewer can’t help feeling their anticipations crucified with no restoration in the offing.

Be that as it may, credit to Sridhar Raghavan for the method he's structured the screenplay. The story unspools non-straightly, frequently fluttering into flashbacks. The tracks of Lorry, Kamath and Joki are disconnected until they unite at the Goa hangar. Credit to Rohan Sippy simultaneously for creating a film this is elevated on style, shine, and with piecemeal dosages of amusement. Conceded that there’re no wheels-within-wheels or peels-following-peels of layers in the rather shallow plot, but the movie winds up as an one-time look at.

Near actors, Prateik Babbar stands out as the vast-eyed adolescent who sees his dream transform into a bad dream overnight. Rana Daggubati is certainly a hunk youngsters could swoon over but is unsettled in lip-synching Hindi. No big surprise the picture clicker catches him more frequently from his back as opposed to front. Abhishek Bachchan with a fresh spin does his signature stuff--glare and smile--without conveying anything outstanding. Bipasha Basu, similarly again, adheres to a few outflows and Deepika Padukone's Mit Jaye Gham too isn’t the screen-scorcher its touted to be.

Created as a suspense thriller, the story is a since a long time ago-winded hunt down a recondite figure by the name of Michael Barbossa, who's portrayed as the ever unseen kingpin of the medication racket in Goa, even above the smartly agent Lorsa Biscuta (Aditya Pancholi), the man courageously for wrecking the lives of Lorry (Prateik Babbar), Zoe (Bipasha Basu) and her previous boyfriend Joki (Rana Daggubati).

Lorry is a green simple Goan who's sucked into medication-trafficking for the bait of the coin he ought to run over to the US to reunite with his lady friend (Anaitha Nair). Zoe, similarly, would have liked to be an airhostess but winds up being a coke-snorting fancy woman of Biscuta. The guitar-strumming Joki, in the mean time, is dealing with the misfortune of his sweetheart Zoe to Biscuta and averting the preferences of Lorry from falling into the same cesspool.

Controller Kamath (Abhishek Bachchan) is out to perfect Goa's picture and he carefully selects a few subordinates (Govind Namdev and Muzammil) to start a battle in opposition to the medication mafia and grab the ever subtle Barbossa.

With everything taken into account, a film with additional shine than Dum.

What's fermenting among Deepika Padukone-John!: Single-again John Abraham is viewed holding with female co-star Deepika Padukone in London. Is it accurate to say that it is simply a working connection or do we see something more blending?

All the more as the previews of Bipasha Basu relaxing with Josh Hartnett on the sets of the movie Singularity show that there may be more to the holding in the middle of the several than meets the eye, maybe the same keeps accurate for John Abraham moreover, who has been shooting in the comparatively cool climes of London for first-timer Rohit Dhawan's film Desi Boyz with Deepika Padukone.

In that case, it was probably several similarly invested co-stars holding on the sets, but might be there's more smoke than fiery breakout to so much chatter.

Katrina Kaif, Kareena Or Deepika: Who Will Play Mandakini?

2011-03-16T09:56:00.000-07:00

Katrina Kaif, Kareena Or Deepika: Who Will Play Mandakini?: Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone or Kareena Kapoor: which one of these ladies will play the gangster’s moll to Akshay Kumar in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2? And not just any glitzy glamorous airhead arm candy; one of these actresses will get to play the role of the stunning Mandaikni, of Ram Teri Ganga Maili fame.

While Akshay Kumar has been announced to play the underworld don in the sequel to director Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Ekta Kapoor is yet to decide who will play the female lead in the sequel. Considering Mandakini’s flawless pearly complexion, Katrina and Kareena are obvious contenders for the role. But now, even the curvaceous Deepika is being considered for the part. Earlier Vidya Balan was also in the race for the role, but news is that she is being considered for another part in the film.

For those who came in late, the light-eyed Mandakini was one of the sexiest poster girls in the 80s who skyrocketed to fame as the village belle bathing under a waterfall in a white transparent sari in Raj Kapoor’s ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’. Though Mandakini’s filmy career dropped off the graph after that, she made the headlines because of her alleged proximity to gangster Dawood Ibrahim.

Who do you think will play Mandakini better: Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor or Vidya Balan?

Deepika Padukone beats Zeenat Aman's 1971 'Dum Maro Dum'?

2011-03-15T09:26:00.000-07:00

Deepika Padukone beats Zeenat Aman's 1971 'Dum Maro Dum'?: After shaking a leg with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in 'Billu Barber', Deepika Padukone is all set to sizzle with another item song in 'Dum Maro Dum'.

Padukone has worked hard to live upto the expectations of her choreographer Bosco, who feels that the song recaptures the beauty of the original song, which was picturised on Zeenat Aman in 1971 movie 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'.

But the latest version is very different from the original one, claims choreographer Bosco. "Zeenat Aman is an eternal beauty and Deepika is a modern beauty. The moves that Zeenatji did could never be replaced. But we have made a creative effort to recreate the effect of the song with a modern touch to it," said Bosco.

"This one has a modern twist, very stylish and suitable for today's time. It is a fast paced with lot of dance and high energy. It is not a remix...but a new track altogether," he added.

The 'Om Shanti Om' star who had already worked with Bosco in 'Love Aajkal' is keen to have a hit song and wants the best steps from the choreographer in the track but Bosco says they are not competing with 'Sheila' or 'Munni'. "We are not competing with 'Sheila' and 'Munni'. They have already made a place for themselves. But we expect that this year its 'Dum Maro Dum' everywhere, be it clubs, discos, marriages, just everywhere," Bosco said.

"Whenever we met Deepika, she expressed her desire to have a hit song after 'Aanhun Aanhun'. So when we got the opportunity we are not leaving any stones unturned to make it the best item song of the year," added Bosco.

The highlight of the song will be its high energy dance, which includes a fusion of hip-hop, krumping, freestyle and Bollywood. "Deepika will be seen in a new avatar doing little bit of street dancing along with the Bollywood moves. It is a good masala of various dance forms. She has a well toned body and we have used it to the maximum. We worked on her costume also," said Bosco.

The item number which is likely to go on air in the coming week, was completed in a span of three days. "Dum Maro... should not be taken in the literal sense but it should be seen as a dance number. We hope to catch the mood of the youth and Deepika has done a fantastic job."

Directed by Rohan Sippy 'Dum Maro...' is a thriller starring Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu and Prateik Babbar, which revolves around the lives of six Indians who meet in Goa and how their lives change forever. The film will hit the theatres on April 22.

Deepika Padukone's 'Dum Maro Dum' title track launched

2011-03-13T14:12:00.000-07:00

Deepika Padukone's 'Dum Maro Dum' title track launched: Rohan Sippy and Fox Star Studios had envisioned to launch the item song, Dum Maro Dum, with Deepika Padukone at the India vs South Africa cricket match on March 12, at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur.

However, the actress is busy filming for Aarakshan and is unable to rehearse enough for the event.

Our source tell us, "With more than 45,000 people attending the match, Rohan Sippy requested Deepika to perform live in front of the audience.

Unfortunately, she is shooting for Aarakshan in Bhopal and doesn't have time to rehearse as she would land only on the day of the event in Nagpur.

The song is dance-oriented and needs to be well-orchestrated with a troupe of dancers. So the Dum Maro Dum team will launch during the break between the first and second innings."

When contacted Rohan Sippy said, "Well, it would be exciting if she would have had time to rehearse and perform live in front of the audience.

It would have given the song a new energy. But we understand and have decided to show case the song during half time of this very important match."

Everyone’s a friend for Deepika Padukone

2011-03-13T14:08:00.000-07:00

Everyone’s a friend for Deepika Padukone: Deepika Padukone says that she has only “good friends” in the industry and no foes. Whether it’s Sonam Kapoor, her once-rumoured antagonist, or her ex Ranbir Kapoor, she’s on good terms with everyone, pretty much like a Karan Johar movie. “I have no grudges against Sonam. It’s the media that’s creating the hype. Karan’s show is not to be taken seriously. He asks tongue-in-cheek questions, but it is all done in good humour.”

While she has many “good friends”, Deepika confesses that none of her colleagues have become “best friends”. “I am so busy that I do not have time to find a best friend in the industry. Moreover, whenever we are working, we meet each other frequently, converse and then as soon as the film is over, we don’t get to see each other,” she says.

Deepika has now moved on from starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar to the up and coming Imran Khan in Kunal Kohli’s Break Ke Baad. This coming-of-age relationship movie has taught her a lesson in real life too, Deepika confides. “I realised that sometimes getting some space can actually help people give their relationship a second try. The concept, though, is new to me as I’m from a conservative family where elders have been happily married to one person without ever wanting a break,” says the actor.

Does that mean her much-hyped break-up with Ranbir Kapoor might just have a second chance? Deepika doesn’t take the bait and says that “move on” is her new mantra. “If a relationship has turned sour, then move on. We all have the strength to control our feelings, leave behind the negativity we experienced and move on,” she says, adding, “Maintaining a relationship requires sacrifices at both ends and a comfort level to carry it forward. If it still does not work, then you can’t give up on life. We need to attend to so many other things. It’s important to keep ourselves busy by taking interest in our work. Time is a great healer.”

This, of course, brings us to the topic of UB scion Sidhartha Mallya. But Deepika is wary of talking about her present relationship. “I will not comment on this,” she says.

Undaunted, we remind her that Sidhartha accompanied her for an eye check-up recently. “I have my glasses. I don’t need to go for an eye check-up now. Things were blown out of proportion by the media,” she replies with a smile. Guess he is just a “very good” friend then.
