Atif Aslam joins Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) ???

2012-01-03T11:49:00.000-08:00

Atif Aslam joins Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) ???

It all started when a rockstar Ali Azmat was first spotted on a stage of a political sit-in. Soon after this we saw the band Strings performing their patriotic song in a historical PTI Jalsa in Lahore. Then, renowned bhangra singer and philanthropist announced not only his support for the party, but he vowed to join PTI as a political worker.

As of yet, many other musicians and bands have showed their support for Imran Khan’s political party PTI and if we have to believe the rumors, Atif Aslam too is planning to support Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaaf.

The cyber space is buzzing today with the rumors that Atif Aslam is to join PTI. The rumor, first reported on PlayTV’s website, is being pressed right now on various other online publications without any verification. When we tried to confirm this with our sources, we didn’t get an affirmative answer. The source however quipped:

“Atif Aslam is a big name whose popularity is far wide in the world, if he decides to support any political party in Pakistan that would be a great support for the party as Atif has a huge fan following in Pakistani youth. But I don’t see it happening! Star like Atif Aslam would not put all his weight to a single party and would rather like to remain neutral.”

Story developing…

Titled Gehra Paani film will have Dutt play a mad scientist who creates a genetically evolved crocodile with individual intelligence but becomes a target of a gang of hunters wanting to capture the unique reptile for their lucrative business.

The film's producer Avik Bagchi reveals the actors are expected to shoot at a film city in the Maoist-infested Jungel mahal area of West Midnapore district, where a giant 100 foot long crocodile has been created using pyrotechnics and CGI. Buzz is the film will have lots of action and stunts most of which will be performed by Dutt and Basu.

Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl (Movie Review)

2012-01-03T05:39:00.000-08:00

Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl (Movie Review)

Cast: Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Aditi Sharma, Dipannita Sharma
Direction: Maneesh Sharma

Maneesh Sharma struck the marquee with the offbeat Band Baaja Baraat. Indeed, a yardstick that would be hard to measure up to. And yes, his second film doesn't really match the zing and the verve of the first one.

Firstly, there is no humour, no earthy flavour (remember the vows on the bread pakora), no tingling chemistry between the lead pair -- everything which made the first film such a winner. More importantly, Anushka has a role only post-interval and the first half is devoted to his exploits with the other three girls. He dupes Parineeti and Aditi by pretending he's in love with them, Dipannita by selling her a fake Hussain painting. And then tries to con Anushka by selling her useless land at an exorbitant price. But somewhere down the singing and dancing, the duo steal a kiss and seal a new relationship: Voila! it's love at first kiss. Unconvincing, isn't it?

What does work in favour of the film are its performances and its non-hysterical tenor. The girls are a spirited lot and Ranveer is, well Ranveer: your average Joe kind of hero who looks convincing enough as Sunny, Deven, Iqbal, Ricky, his sundry avatars. Music by Salim Sulaiman is ordinary. A word about Parineeti Chopra: cute.

Sonam on Bipasha: There is no controversy

2012-01-03T03:55:00.000-08:00

Sonam on Bipasha: There is no controversy

Though there havent been reports of any cat fights between female Players Bipasha Basu and Sonam Kapoor right through the making of the film, is the friendly banter continuing post the making as well? After all, it seems rather interesting that there hasn't been any controversy built around the two women even though less than a week remains for the film's release?

Laughs Sonam, 'I think when you consciously don't create any controversy, there would never be any. When you are confident and secure about yourself, you don't get into that space where you have to worry about what the other person is doing. Also, look at Bipasha; now she is someone who doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. She has worked with Abbas-Mustan earlier (Ajnabee, Race) and they also trust her to deliver goods. On the other hand for Players they were kind enough to give me a lead role so there was no question of me getting insecure of what I was doing.

This means that while with Bipasha she maintained a cordial relationship that ensured that the film's shoot passed through smoothly, when it came to buddies like Abhishek Bachchan and Sikander Kher, it was almost like being at home. 'I know them from my childhood and have grown up with them. I always had that comfort feel with them so it only made the entire movie making a fun experience indeed,' says Sonam.

Well, we hope audience too has as much fun when they catch the flick on 6th January.

Don 2 (Movie Review)

2012-01-03T03:47:00.000-08:00

Don 2 (Movie Review)

Don 2 is a classic action/crime thriller that doesn't let go, even for a moment. More importantly, the plot has been finely crafted, with every twist and turn falling into place like a complicated albeit neat little jigsaw. With a canvas that goes on a cross-country ride -- Thailand, Malaysia, Zurich, Berlin -- the film challenges you to hop aboard its high speed scuttle and attentively follow the exploits of its glamorous gangster. One who oscillates between two avatars -- Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible) and James Bond -- without losing out on his desi charisma.

The high point of the film is Shah Rukh's delineation of the character of the Don. The actor interprets him as an arrogant, agile, wicked and wild dare-devil who has the most bizarre schemes up his sleeves. But that's not all. He also has the chutzpah to carry them through. Taking off from the climax of the first film, the gangster resurfaces in Thailand after a suitable time span, creates mayhem and then, in an unprecedented and inexplicable move, surrenders before his old enemies (cop Roma), only to be sent to a Malaysian prison. Get ready for a breath taking prison-break sequence, where our maverick escapes with another old foe, Vardhan ( Boman Irani). The rest of the film is essentially the execution of a meticulous plan where the duo chooses to rob the Germans of their currency plates. Easier said than done, but with the devious Don, rest assured, no mission is an impossible mission. Shah Rukh remains in command and never loses his foothold, neither through the dramatic sequences nor through the action cuts. But of course, didn't we know the actor always loved playing wicked despite his romantic hero image. Remember Darr and Baazigar, two of his unforgettable films?

Action is the other alluring selling point of Farhan Akhtar's film. The chases, the fights, the demolition, destruction, break-ins, escapes have all been done with a finesse that rivals the best of Hollywood. Watch the car chase between Priyanka and Shah Rukh and you'll get the point. It's not only high voltage that drips with passion which makes it seem almost like foreplay. The other notable sequences include the heist, the escape and Shah Rukh's larger-than-life leap from a high-rise while his assassin wrings his hands in dismay.

The film does lack a bit on the emotional quotient and human relationships are hardly given a chance to grow. But just when you think it's all sound and fury, there's a sensuous tango between Roma and the Don as the cop opts to help the gangster she once loved and the gangster is determined to save his junglee billi (wild cat), any which way. A word about the dialogues: brilliant. A word about the music: mediocre (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy).

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (Movie Review)

2012-01-03T03:40:00.000-08:00

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (Movie Review)

Cast: Tom Cruise, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Michael Nyqvist, Anil Kapoor
Direction: Brad Bird
Story: The high profile IMF is falsely accused of bombing the Kremlin and agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his teammates are forced to become rogue agents, with the government declaring a ghost protocol (no protection) against them. In a race against time, they must clear their name and save the world from armageddon, as a deadly megalomaniac, Cobalt ( Michael Nyqvist) wants to start a nuclear war.

Movie Review: Action has always been the high point of the Mission Impossible series. But this kind of action: Wow! The new film is essentially a relentless roller-coaster ride that doesn't give you a moment to sit back and keeps the adrenalin pumping to dizzy heights as Tom Cruise gets on his regular mission of saving the world, one more time. And once again, he has nothing on his side, not even his government, other than his physical prowess, his ability to perform the most death-defying stunts and an abundance of sheer luck which redefines the word 'impossible' as 'possible'.

This time however, he isn't working as the lone ranger but has a close knit crack team comprising agent carter ( Paula Patton), Brandt ( Jeremy Renner) and Benji ( Simon Pegg). While Carter adds the glamour quotient, apart from being a female action hero, Benji takes care of the humour element even as he manages the techie stuff and the funky gadgetry and Brandt, the analyst, remains unpredictable and mysterious with a deadly secret. It's a winning team, despite the individual differences and the foursome end up as an endearing family with each character having a substantial role to play.

But essentially it is the exquisite stunts and the high-decibel action set pieces which create magic on screen. The mission basically entails four main tasks: stealing a missing file, getting hold of the Cold War nuclear codes, infiltrating a satellite and finally, defusing a nuclear warhead before it strikes its target and decimates the world. But before the task is executed you get to witness some genre-defining action sequences which include a daring prison break in Russia, the infiltration of the Kremlin, Cruise's high-rise leaps and jumps followed by his awesome ascent over Dubai's tallest tower, Patton's cat fight with the blonde assassin, Brandt's satellite entry and the final confrontation in Mumbai's multi-level car parking.

Performance-wise, Cruise is in total command of the drama which boasts of several engaging twists and turns. A word about Anil Kapoor: he plays playboy Brij Nath with a penchant for pretty girls and shady deals, in a comic vein. It is just a bit more than a blink-and-you'll-miss role as Patton unleashes her charms on him.

Bollywood biggest gossips of 2011

2012-01-02T12:33:00.000-08:00

Bollywood biggest gossips of 2011

From careless whispers to rumoured stories, from gossip kings and queens to the chatterati, Bollywood's pretty people remained busy through out the year making stories and then featuring in them.

Top of the heap of the biggest and juiciest Bollywood gossip was the budding closeness between Don Shah Rukh Khan and his lady Priyanka Chopra. This hush-hush piece of gossip managed to miff many.

Chinese whispers did the round that Priyanka got an icy cold welcome at SRK's Eid party at his Bandra home on August 31. Everyone, from the hostess Gauri Khan to her close friends, was believed to have ignored Priyanka when she showed up.

With a long term relationship behind him, John Abraham seemed to have spent no time in jumping off to another relationship. It is believed that John and his current banker girlfriend Priya Runchal were rather serious about each other and have been looking at making things official in April 2012.

After keeping things rather secret for eight long years, lovebirds Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza finally got engaged in 2011. The couple would tie the knot in February 2012.

February, it seems, is an auspicious and heavy month for Bollywood weddings. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor were also believed to be looking at a February wedding. To make most of the humungous curiosity of their fans and the media in this event, Saif would be releasing his home production Agent Vinod in the same month.

While some have been making it official, other Bollywood couples were still rather discreet about their love stories. Actor Sonam Kapoor and director Punit Malhotra have reportedly been a couple behind the cameras.

Same implies with actress Vidya Balan and her beau Siddharth Roy Kapoor. The Dirty Picture actress has been seeing the CEO of UTV Motion Pictures for sometime now, but the two have been keeping their personal life personal.

It is believed that Sonakshi Sinha's increasing waistline cost her an item number in Shirish Kunder's Joker. Reportedly, the actress has been on a green tea and biscuit only diet to shed those extra kilos. The item number that was originally designed for Sonakshi would now feature Chitrangada Singh.

And ladies' man Ricky Bahl aka Ranveer Singh's growing proximity to Sonakshi irked his reported girlfriend Anushka Sharma. It is believed that thanks to Ranveer's womanising ways, the Band Baaja Baraat couple now seems to be history.

Strings rock India

2012-01-02T10:36:00.000-08:00

Strings rock India

Live performances have always been Pakistani pop rock band Strings’ forte. The latest one was a Times of IndiaMumbai Mirror concert at the Bandra Fort, a beautiful open amphitheatre with a crowd attendance of approximately 2,000. Since the concert was especially organised for the youth, the venue saw throngs of youngsters coming in for some quality pop-rock music.

It surely was a star-studded event. And, interestingly, majority of them showed up for Strings as their gesture of friendship and appreciation for the band. The celebrities spotted at the venue included Bollywood actor Imran Khan accompanied by wife Avantika, directors Sanjay Gupta (with wife Anu) and Rohan Sippy, actors Aditi Rao (starring in the lead role of London Paris New Yorkwith Ali Zafar), Yana Gupta, Rohit Roy with wife Maansi, Amol Gupte, popular Vjs Cyrus Sahukar and Mini Mathur among others.

Strings performed their famous anthems such “Dhaani”, “Koi Aanay Wala Hai”, “Mera Bicchra Yar”, “Chaaye Chaaye”, “Anjane”, “Sohniye”, “Najan Kyun”, “Duur” and others. The band engaged with the audience and called a few people from the audience on-stage.

During their stay in India, Strings also performed in Bangalore before flying to Dubai. The Express Tribune also spoke to the band regarding their concert experience, new singles and future plans.

How was the experience of performing in Mumbai yet again?

Faisal Kapadia: We’ve been going to Mumbai quite frequently. Whenever we visit India, the first city we land in is Mumbai. We’ve got a lot of friends and fans there and it’s always a pleasure performing there.

How did you find the Mumbai crowd?

Kapadia: The crowd was electric. The venue was jam-packed as you can witness from the videos and pictures. What else could an artist ask for? It was a charged-up two-hour set where the crowd was simply amazing.

Are you also a proponent of the notion that it’s better to release singles than a full-fledged album in recent times?

Kapadia: One has to realise that the medium of music has been going through a change. If you look 20 years back, we used to have cassettes which were replaced by CDs and now, it’s the age of digital medium. The striking aspect of this medium is that one is charged per individual units. A cassette or CD would cost you the same amount whether a single song is recorded or a dozen. Hence, the concept of single was uncommon then.

Currently, the digital medium has completely transformed. Especially networks like iTunes offer you a single as well as complete album at different rates. But, of course, it’s not applicable in Pakistan because people here have the knack of downloading music for free. So, today is the age of singles. It’s a smart move to release a single periodically.

When are you releasing your new songs?

Kapadia: We’ve recorded a few songs and trust me, if we sit down in the studio for a month, we would be able to come out with a new album. Since we’re very much consumed in tours we are not getting time for it.

Where are you travelling and performing in future?

Kapadia: We recently performed in Bangalore and our next stop is Dubai for a live gig.

Is performing in Pakistan on your agenda anytime soon?

Kapadia: We have a big Pakistan tour coming up and we plan to perform in ten cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Hyderabad and Gujranwala.

Why is Katrina 'Chikni Chameli'?

2012-01-01T11:30:00.000-08:00

Why is Katrina 'Chikni Chameli'?

MUMBAI: After Sheila, Munni, Shalu and Jalebi Bai, ‘Chikni Chameli’ is the latest item bomb in Bollywood. Katrina Kaif has outdone her ‘Sheila ki jawani’ act in the song, and “Agneepath” director Karan Malhotra believes she has done full justice to it.

“I think the way the song was made, it was so wonderful, that only a topmost actress could have done justice to the song. And as far as Katrina is concerned, her USP is that she has never been seen in any film in that kind of zone that ‘Chikni Chameli’ is in. So which is why she also stands out in that atmosphere and that is why the song is catching a lot of eyeballs,” the director said at the music premiere of “Agneepath” at a radio station here.

The men behind the song are composer-brothers Ajay-Atul, primarily known for their work in Marathi films and serials. “Chikni chameli” is a song inspired by their own Marathi song “Kombadi palali”.

No wonder Malhotra denies that the song draws inspiration from any other item number.

“No, no girl inspired us for ‘Chikni chameli’,” said Malhotra.

Meanwhile, Katrina’s fast, rhythmic ‘Chikni chameli’ act has set many eyeballs popping. “Agneepath”, a remake of the 1990 film of the same name, is set for release Jan 26 next year.

It stars Hrithik Roshan in the lead with Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra and Rishi Kapoor in key roles.

Sur-Kshetra: Aslam and Reshammiya set for a battle

“Sur-Kshetra” will be broadcast on Sahara One and will provide a platform for upcoming singers from India and Pakistan to showcase their talents, reports rediff.com.

When asked, how “Sur-Kshetra” will be different from other reality shows, Aslam replied; “This show is different because artists from both Pakistan and India are going to share the same platform. There will be a lot of cultural exchange and the Indian audience will come to know about Pakistani culture.”

Additionally, the artist also said that he will try to introduce contemporary music in the show. “A lot of singers have tried it in Bollywood and other shows, but I would like to present it in its true form and in a different manner.”

Apart from this show, Aslam will also be jamming with ex-members of American rock band, Guns N’ Roses, for the “Coke Studio” sessions. However, it’s still not certain whether he will perform for the Pakistani version of the show or the Indian. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the singer-cum-actor said that he “will also be performing with a couple of popular Rajasthani folk artists,” which indicates that he will be performing on “Coke Studio @ MTV”, reports koolmuzone.com.

The singer, who also acted in Shoaib Mansoor’s latest film Bol, said that he loves the concept of “Coke Studio” and it was hard for him to say “no” to it. “I’m looking forward to the session, it’s been a dream of sorts. On ‘Coke Studio’, we get a chance to play different genres of music with different artists. I love the concept of the show — I just couldn’t say no.”
