Another RD Burman song is now a movie title. After Bachna Ae Haseeno it’s Aa Dekhen Zara! The Neil Nitin Mukesh-Bipasha Basu film was earlier titled Freeze. But maybe it’s the similarity with the storyline of Freeze Frame (2004) that made the makers change the title. In the movie, Neil plays the role of a photographer who is obsessed with clicking pictures of anything and everything including himself wherever he travels. Why? He doesn’t want to be charged with a crime he didn’t commit and wants an alibi all the time. Bipasha Basu plays a DJ in the film who is in love with Neil.

Paisa. Pyar. Power.

Ray Acharya (Neil Nitin Mukesh), a struggling photographer has nothing going for him… until he inherits a very ‘special’ camera from his grandfather which changes his life in a way that he could not have imagined in his wildest dreams.

The ‘power’ of the camera changes Ray’s destiny overnight. His life becomes one big roller coaster ride that takes him from rags to riches and also helps him meet the love of his life, Simi (Bipasha Basu) who is an exciting sexy DJ with a mind of her own. Everything is hunky dory and moving towards ‘happily ever after’.

As they say with great power comes great responsibility and in Ray’s case, also great danger. He must now face up to the dark side of reality and win not only against the evil forces but also against fate.

Can Ray change his date with fate? Aa Dekhen Zara.

Sights & sounds of an address

Don’t go in looking for an RDB, give it a chance to light a candle of a different kind

The volcano has erupted again. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has done it one more time. Albeit, quite differently.

If Rang De Basanti was all rage without an iota of remorse, Delhi-6 is all love with a dash of hate. If RDB was a public movement, D-6 is a personal monologue. And just like Rang De was what the country needed back in 2006, Delhi-6 needs to be the new pincode of India. Where the mirror pops up for all matters of religion, caste, money and power, where you look within before you point a finger at others.

More than a motion picture, Delhi-6 is a free flow of ideas, images and sounds. He may harp on the importance of the script, but Rakeysh Mehra, the erstwhile advertising whiz kid, is essentially a man of ideas, a bit of a Bollywood visionary. With the help of the magic troika of A.R. Rahman, Binod Pradhan and Samir Chanda (production design), Mehra creates a world which explodes in every frame. It’s a full-bodied experience, a visceral trip which completely takes over your senses.

For the first one hour you may be even excused for thinking that you stepped into the wrong theatre to watch not a starry Bollywood movie but a beautifully done documentary on Delhi.

I-am-an-American Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother (Waheeda Rehman) to her Delhi house and thus unfolds Chandni Chowk like you have never seen it before. The crowded bylanes, the lumbering cows, the leaning havelis, the reverberating mosques… it’s perhaps more energetic, more colourful and more intricate than what Delhi-6 has been for a long time.

And just like in Rang De, Mehra puts the story on the backburner and just lets it rip. Pigeons fluttering in the air, kites colliding in the sky, chillies drying on the roof, jalebis frying in the pan… Mehra achieves perfection in the rhythm. Stills, staccato, flickering, slo mo… the images unfold at their own pace, as if they were born on camera. Sometimes the frames turn into paintings, with smudged shades and muted highlights. Delhi-6 is a sensory tour de force.

No surprises then that when Mehra remembers that he has a story to tell, things get rushed. The screenplay (Mehra, Prasoon Joshi, Kamlesh Pandey) searches for a problem so that it can solve it.

And when it finds one — we won’t spoil it for you — it looks a tad forced and tired. But there’s so much to likea in the first 90 minutes of the 140-minute film, that you go with the flow, swallow the preachy pill and by the end of it all go seeking the mirror nearest to you.

Delhi-6 belongs to A.R. Rahman more than anybody else. He may get the Oscar for another movie, but this is clearly a far better work, a soundtrack so complete that you don’t miss a tone. And kudos to cinematographer Binod Pradhan for bringing those songs alive. Not just Masakkali, the promo queen, all the songs are captured with a lot of heart. But if there’s one that stands out, it’s Dil gira dafatan. You can watch the movie a couple of times just for this one song, replete with tributes to The Aviator and King Kong!

Mehra’s ensemble cast provides the punctuation marks in this celluloid collage and each one brings a unique voice. Rishi Kapoor, Vijay Raaz, Deepak Dobriyal, Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, Om Puri, Pavan Malhotra, Prem Chopra, Cyrus Sahukar, Sheeba Chadda, Supriya Pathak, Aditi Rao… they all do their bit in making Delhi-6 the address to visit this spring.

Watching Waheeda Rehman do the thumka again with a twinke in her eyes is a sight for sore eyes. She is luminous as the grand old daadi, the pillar around which the rest of the cast rallies. She is a bit neglected in the second half but returns at the right time to bring things back in perspective.

Perspective is something that sometimes gets lost with Abhishek’s act. Here’s an uneven performance which is brilliant in certain scenes and plain ordinary in others. The accent’s there, so is the swagger but the casualness sometimes strays into disinterest and that certainly doesn’t help the film. He is at his best in the scenes with Sonam and the kids and totally rocks it in the rap song.

Delhi-6 also reintroduces Sonam Kapoor. After what was essentially a wishy-washy debut in Saawariya, where she had to peek out of veils and jump out of wells, this movie allows the dove to spread her wings. There may not be too many she-scenes but Sonam makes the most of the ones she has. Let’s just say, we won’t miss Kajol anymore. That vivacity that natural effervescence, that fluidity is back and how! Change the outfits, give her songs or scenes, and place whoever opposite her, Sonam’s spot on, in every frame.

For just its overwhelming audio-visual eruption, Delhi-6 is a must watch. Don’t go in expecting a Rang De Basanti. This one too can light a candle, but quietly, somewhere deep in the heart.

Terminator 4 (2009) Movie Details, Storyline, Posters, Exclusive News & Interviews :

Finally the Terminator series is back after six years, the fourth part of Terminator franchise, titled as Terminator Salvation will be in theaters from 21st May 2009. But the bad news is Arnold Schwarzenegger who became a superstar after Terminator series will not be seen to screen as the unstoppable Cyborg, he may only have a cameo role in Terminator 4.

British actor and Batman hero Christian Bale has is playing rebel leader John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. It is heard Bale has signed up to play as John Connor in forthcoming three sequels already.

The first, Terminator Salvation, has already started shooting and at the end of completion.

Christian Bale, 34, played the Caped Crusader in the 2005 film Batman Begins and again in the Batman sequel, The Dark Knight.

Producer Victor Kubicek said: “We’re very proud. Christian was our first choice and he’s a big fan of The Terminator. With Batman, he’s already done the whole franchise thing, so we weren’t sure he’d respond. But Bale read the script and loved it so much that he signed on for all three.”

The first movie Terminator 4 is made by McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol), the Charlie’s Angels director.

When McG was asked if Arnold would appear in the new film of Terminator series that made him famous for the line “I’ll be back”, he replied, “We’re trying to create a visual effect and write code that’s never been written before to address this very question.”

“The T-800s as we know them look like Arnold. The T-800 plays a big role in this movie. And I can’t quite tell just how we express that, but I will tell you the following — I think when you make a ‘Terminator’ movie, it’s the responsibility of our team, all of us together, to push visual effects forward,” the director continued. However, he was clear on one thing. “I don’t want today’s Arnold Schwarzenegger,” McG added.

If we read that correctly, it means McG wants Arnold from the original 1984 film, because the storyline in Terminator Salvation actually takes place before Arnold's T-800 model even exists... at least until the end. So in summary, McG didn't specifically say their won't be an Arnold model T-800 in T4, but hints indicate that it's likely ILM is working on digitizing the California governor to look like the 1984 Schwarzenegger we all know.

All the answers of these questions we will get on 21st May. So, wait for the day.

Rating :

Acting – 8/10

Technique – 6/10

Review :

It’s all about loving your friend!

Two Fridays back in the last special appearance of Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance, Shah Rukh Khan says: “Kabhi usey na bhoolo jo tumhein tab jaantey thhe jab tum kuch nahin thhe.”

What sounded like some starry advice for Farhan’s rising hero was actually a plug for SRK’s new production Billu (the Barber’s gone from the title and also dubbed out at several places, following protests and pleas from barbers).

Remade from the 2007 Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol starring Mammooty, which in turn was remade in the 2008 Tamil film Kuselan starring Rajanikanth, Billu is a touching testimony to the spirit of friendship. Friendship between two very different people.

On the one hand you have Billu Bilas Pardesi (Irrfan), a barber in an obscure village called Budbuda in Uttar Pradesh, whose broken chair and toothless comb have driven away all customers. The Nirupa Roy of barbers (that’s what the locals call him), cannot pay the school fees of his two kids and the electricity bill of his home.

On the other end of the spectrum is Sahir Khan (“incidentally Shah Rukh Khan”, say the closing credits), the biggest movie icon of the country, who is self-confessedly “the only star who’s got more men around him than women”. Before you start thinking of this being a Konfessions with Karan show, he is talking about the security cordon surrounding him!

So when Sahir decides to shoot his next film in Budbuda, hell breaks loose. From the moment the helicopter touches the village turf, the quiet little hamlet turns into a chalta-firta circus, spinning off several new endeavours to cash in on the shooting schedule.

And Nirupa Roy becomes Rakhi Sawant overnight. Word spreads that Billu used to be a childhood friend of Sahir’s and before you can say snip it, Billu’s rundown kesh kartnalaya becomes a swank salon with a long kataar of customers.

But there’s one small problem — Billu can’t touch base with Sahir. Rather, he doesn’t want to.

A bittersweet tale of values and relationships and how name and fame can swing equations and switch sides, Billu is a charmer all the way. After a long time here’s a film which exudes warmth, celebrates goodness and slips in a message without being preachy.

Priyadarshan is the perfect man to handle a subject like this. His forte is to create quirky characters and put them in the most awkward situations. And in Billu it works like magic. Whether it is Om Puri as the mercenary seth Damchand or Rajpal Yadav as the aspiring movie lyricist Jhallan Kumar or Manoj Joshi as Damodar Dubey, the guest house manager who wants to act, they all bring their share of laughter to the enterprise.

But the one man who makes Billu brilliant is Billu himself, Irrfan Khan. In his second shot at playing the leading man of a mainstream movie after Rog, Irrfan turns in a performance nothing short of genius. Funny, sad, confused, happy, hurt... emotions run like rivers across his face. He is certainly in the running for the best screen barber alongside Charlie Chaplin (The Great Dictator), Billy Bob Thornton (The Man Who Wasn’t There) and Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd).

Giving Irrfan great support in a very natural performance is his screen wife Lara Dutta. A complete departure from her item ways, Lara looks radiant in the simple saris and does really well. Watch her in the last scene adjusting her palla and you realise how far the ex-Miss Universe has come. The kids (Pratik Dalvi and Mitali Mayakar) are also very good making every conversation of the Billu household hilarious.

Ok, now the answer to the question which made you read all this: How much of Shah Rukh Khan is there in the film? Well, there’s quite a lot (including snatches from almost all his films) and while that may not necessarily help the movie, it will surely get in the people. Yes, SRK in the Rajanikanth wardrobe (and antics) looks tired in the songs and even his performance is just way over the top. But his stirring speech in the end is the best part of the film, guaranteed to have you reach for the rumaal.

Of the item numbers, Kareena’s is clearly the best. But the music by Pritam is so weak that none of the songs stay with you and are at best ice-cream breaks. The cinematography (V. Manikandan) and art direction (Sabu Cyril), though, are top notch and make Budbuda really come alive.

A krishna-sudama fable set in a village with Irrfan Khan in the lead may not be your idea of a Valentine weekend but you can do a lot worse than Billu. At least this is sure to make both of you smile.

Kaminay (2009) - Shahid and Priyanka

Kaminay (2009) Film Details, News, Gossips, Hot Photos and Priyanka's Interview :

Kareena Kapoor’s ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor will be seen with Priyanka Chopra in Vishal Bharadwaj’s next film Kaminey, the director who made Maqbool and Omkara, with two hotties, that is Tabu and Kareena Kapoor.

The exclusive photos of forthcoming movie Kaminey is showing that some intimate scenes are present in the film with Shahid and Priyanka. In the images Priyanka Chopra is looking very hot and her posing is extremely sexual. All the hot and sexy photos of film Kaminey are given here for free download.

Although actress Priyanka Chopra shared a kiss with Akshay Kumar in her very first film, Andaaz, she has been very picky about on-screen pecks. But the latest dope is that the sexy heroine has done a kissing scene in Kaminay, in which she plays a regular college girl, a Maharashtrian.
It was heard that though Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have a great on-screen chemistry, Priyanka wasn’t happy when director Vishal Bhardwaj informed her about the kissing scene, but since that intimate scene (lip lock scene) plays an important part in the film, director Bhardwaj got Priyanka’s approval.

The film began shooting from June 18, 2008 and will release in 2009.

Following are a short interview with Priyanka Chopra about her upcoming movie Kaminay.

You have just signed Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminay — a rather unusual title for a film. What do you say?

I love Vishal Bharadwaj’s films and I always wanted to work with him. Since all the characters in the film are kaminas, the film is befittingly called Kaminay.

But Vishal’s films usually have a rustic, earthy flavour.

Is that so? I heard similar things about Madhur (Bhandarkar). But when you see the canvas and the glamour of Fashion, you will do a rethink. Vishal’s Kaminay too is different from Omkara and Maqbool. It’s an action comedy. I play a regular college girl, a Maharashtrian, who is a mix of both urban and rural culture.

Delhi-6 (2009) Movie Details, News, Cast & Crew, Wallpapers and Theatrical Trailer :

Isn’t it strange how perceptions change like the seasons? This time, last year, Deepika Padukone, fresh from the heady success of Om Shanti Om, was the toast of the town. While she dimpled at awards functions, holding aloft all the Best Newcomer trophies, close competitor Sonam Kapoor was like an effete also-ran. After her debut film, Saawariya flopped and got flogged on all fronts, Sonam paled into oblivion. Even if she had walked down Linking Road at peak hour, she need never have feared that she’d be mobbed. The fact that she had no release since that flop debut almost erased her from public memory.

It was only towards the end of last year that Sonam slowly began to step out again, first by walking the ramp for designer Anamika Khanna. It was a huge hit. She dazzled like a star as she confidently flashed cleavage and wore a big, bright smile. Importantly, Sonam didn’t look one bit like a demoralised, defeated star aspirant. Thereafter, Sonam has done several photo sessions and each time she has managed to look interestingly different and unfailingly glamorous. With the promos of Delhi 6 doing their rounds, she’s whipped up enough interest around her again. There is a distinct buzz about Sonam Kapoor with her Indian, Waheeda Rehman look and her proud, even slightly arrogant, carriage.

God knows how Delhi 6 will turn out as a film but right now, Sonam Kapoor is definitely the belle of the ball. And with dad Anil Kapoor’s Slumdog Millionaire catapulting him in the headlines, it sure seems like it’s the turn of this Kapoor branch to stand under the spotlight.

Coincidentally, Sonam is the flavour of the season exactly at the same time that Deepika Padukone is tasting big-time failure. Today, Deepika’s Chandni Chowk To China has got the same kind of flak that Sonam’s Saawariya got in 2007. And, in this never-ending see-saw, while Sonam looks fresh and fetching, it’s Deepika who is looking pale, predictable and overexposed!

The theatrical trailer of Delhi-6 has become quite the rage with Masakalli song catching on. Sonam has never looked hotter and Abhishek Bachchan has never looked classier before. After speaking with the designer of the film (Arjun Bhasin who has worked on stylistically landmark films like Dil Chahta Hai and recently Luck By Chance) and he says, “We have given Abhishek a very New Yorker look: very akin to what you can find on the streets of New York. Actually, we wanted to show that he is out of place, he doesn’t belong to Delhi”.

Making of Khudaya Khair from Billu Barber - SRK and Priyanka

Making of Khudaya Khair Video Song from Billu Barber - Picturised on SRK, Lara and Priyanka :

Here the making of forthcoming song “Khudaya Khair” is supplied which is a semi-sexy, nice hiphop and melody mixed kind of song from next Shah Rukh Khan-produced and Priyadarshan-directed Billu Barber. The singers for the hip-hop song are Soham Chakrabarthy, Akriti Kakar and Monali Thakur. Lyrics and music for the song is given by Gulzar and Pritam respectively.

Let’s talk about the video. Khudaya Khair is mainly picturised on glamorous, hot, spicy and obviously very very sexy actress of bollywood industry, Priyanka Chopra. After playing the sexy item in many Bollywood flick, Lara Dutta will now be seen as a village housewife in the film and she is also present in the song. In the video obviously the King Khan is present with both of the actresses, i.e., with Priyanka & Lara in time to time. The video is a mixture of completely two different backgrounds, one is simple, natural village look where Lara Dutta has shown her village looks as a common housewife and another one is very modern, colourful, groovy background where Priyanka Chopra has shown all her sexy, groovy, aesthetic, youthful lusty and of course bikini looks with Shah Rukh Khan. These different looks made the song more attractive and interesting.

In the making video, SRK, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta, Director - Priyadarshan, Music Director - Pritam Chakraborty and Choreographer - Pony Verma, all of them told their opinions, experiences about the song, how much they like the song etc. SRK said that the song is one of most favourite songs of the album. Priyanka said about her body & looks and how difficult is to maintain such king of figure, which is now one of the sexiest figures in Bollywood. From the video you will also watch how the groovy, bikini and very romantic looks been done by Priyanka with SRK, how the sketchy stage has been created in Red Chillies studio and more secrets about the song and the movie also.

So, don’t forget to watch as well as to download the song, as all are absolutely free. Some high quality, high resolution movie wallpapers are also supplied here.

Shah Rukh Khan’s home production Billu Barber on February 13, 2009 is perhaps the first box-office roadblock for Slumdog before the Oscars are announced on February 22. Ironically Irrfan, one of the stars of Slumdog Millionaire, plays the lead role in it with Lara Dutta who plays a village housewife. It was not an easy role to cast with Tabu, who had done Priyan’s Virasat, and Ameesha, who had done Bhool Bhulaiyaa, turning down the offer.

But Lara had no qualms in playing a mother. Her theory was simple — if she could play a mother of one in Partner, she could just as well play a mother of two! And so what if it’s not Shah Rukh opposite her? “Irrfan’s an incredible actor!” Someone’s grown up, at least...

Hurman as Yuvi

Victory has a few moments and lots of cricket stars

Hurman S. Baweja, what’s your rashee? Whatever it is, it seems to be helping you a lot more in 2009 than it did in 2050. Put it down to the spelling change, the extra “S” or simply the much-publicised split with Priyanka Chopra, but the serious and staid Hurman in Victory is a welcome change from the dance-at-the-drop-of-a-hat Hrithik clone surrounded by robot and red head in Love Story 2050.

That’s not to say that the rest of Victory is as watchable as Hurman. Victory does have its moments, but at the end of the film they remain that — simply moments, very few of which stay with you. At the end of 150 minutes of the rise, fall and rise of a cricketer and endless “nail-biting” matches, Victory is a good effort that just falls short of being a good film.

With benchmarks like Lagaan and Iqbal, Victory tries hard to be different and eventually ends up as yet another assembly line cricket film. It would take more than director Ajitpal Mangat to do more than that.

Much like Iqbal, Victory is about an aspiring cricketer Vijay Shekhawat (Baweja) from the small town of Jaisalmer. The victim of selection politics, the talented Vijay fails to make it to the Ranji team for seven long years, but a chance meeting with the Team India coach (Dalip Tahil) at a conditioning camp catapults him to the Indian squad in just two days! Talk about things being simple. True to his name — and the film’s title — Vijay notches up a victory after making the Brett Lees and Stuart Clarks look like galli cricketers, but when a few multicrore advertising deals fall into his lap, the lure of lucre wins over his commitment to the game. The second half is taken up in showing Vijay bouncing back from disgrace till the film inches towards a predictable denouement.

Victory gleans enough moments, situations and characters from the real world of cricket, even going as far as the “desh ka gaddaar” angle and a hug from a crazy female fan (are you reading this Dhoni?) But at the end of the day, Vijay Shekhawat is wholly modelled on Yuvraj Singh. Whether it is the six sixes in an over and the blistering knocks on the upside, or the drunken brawls, the nightlong partying or the thousands of endorsements on the downside, Victory is about Yuvi all the way. But no, there isn’t a Kim Sharma. Or a Deepika Padukone. Which is actually a good thing.

The spot-the-real life-cricket-moments become a yawn after a while and the plodding screenplay doesn’t help. The second half drags and the songs — very average fare from Anu Malik — have you shifting impatiently in your seat. While Hurman arrests attention and holds it for a while, the rest of the cast — Amrita Rao as the sweet and supportive girlfriend, Anupam Kher as the doting father and Gulshan Grover as the moneyminded image manager — turn in predictable performances. The 45 cricketers in the film do much better. Special mention must be made of Harbhajan Singh (he even screams out b***c*** on one occasion) and Brett Lee, who face the camera like pros. Jayasuriya labours through his minute on screen, but does make you smile.

But which cricketer is in dire need of acting lessons? When batsman Vijay Shekhawat lies bleeding on the pitch, writhing in agony in the final overs of the game, nonstriker RP Singh walks up to him leisurely and asks: “Doctor bula doon?” With a smile.

Struggler as star

Zoya Akhtar’s directional debut Luck By Chance is a tour de force – a pitiless look at the film industry but great fun too!

Koi alag sa script likhta hai... Koi star film nahin karta hai... Aise hi toh outsiders ko film industry mein chance milta hai...

These lines from Yash Johar’s son Karan Johar to Rakesh Roshan’s son Hrithik Roshan in Javed Akhtar’s daughter Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance hit you straight as an arrow, but their self-referential irony makes you wonder if the toasts of tinseltown did not flinch saying them.

Karan goes on to tell Hrithik — who doesn’t play himself but a similar superstar called Zaffar Khan — that both Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan became who they are because the stars of the time turned down Darr and Zanjeer.

So is the insane cocktail — that’s how SRK describes stardom in the film — just “luck by chance”? Or is it what Farhan’s Vikram says in the film — you choose your destiny, destiny doesn’t choose you. Zoya’s directorial debut is a collision of these two forces at play and she leaves it to you to find the path that works.

Farhan’s Vikram Jai Singh and Konkona’s Sona Mishra have chosen their paths. Both are struggling actors. He is from Delhi and after a crash course in acting (and dancing and fighting and horseriding) is ready to play along the rules of the Bollywood game. She has done a couple of Bhojpuri films and C-grade fare like Teer Aur Talwar and is convinced that the producer she is sleeping with will give her the big break.

Things don’t go as planned and luck intervenes, bad for one, good for the other. One life changes overnight into success while the other plunges into further despair. He becomes a superstar by chance, she stays an actor by choice.

Madhur Bhandarkar meets Farah Khan in Zoya Akhtar’s first effort. As with Bhandarkar there is an attempt to give the audiences an insider’s view of the ideologies and idiosyncracies of an industry. And as with Farah, there is a liberal sprinkling of inside jokes but never at the cost of the plot.

But Zoya’s unique voice comes alive in the way she paints her characters with real colours and not as the caricatures we have become used to. So you have the leading man being a heartbroken crybaby one moment and a conniving manipulator the next. Then you have the leading lady getting rid of morals one moment but celebrating pure love the next.

It is this realness that elevates Luck By Chance to great cinema. And, of course, the autobiographical nature of the characters. It’s easy to compare Zoya and Farhan with Niki’s (Isha Sharvani) character in the film — a spoilt brat born to a star parent getting everything on a platter.

Though that’s not how it had played out for the talented Akhtar siblings. Farhan himself struggled to get Dil Chahta Hai made because he did not tell Aamir he was Javed Akhtar’s son and the superstar conveniently chose to do Laagan first. And Zoya has been waiting for seven years for the script of Luck By Chance to see the light of day. Yes, she wrote this bare-all tale of the industry a good three years before Page 3.

That’s why you can see the earnestness in the storytelling, the honesty in Farhan’s performance. Here’s a director only in his second film as an actor looking and sounding as convincing as a struggler as he does as a superstar.

Konkona, of course, is fantastic. She’s done this role — a girl madly in love nursing a broken heart — a couple of times before but she takes you through it again. Isha Sharvani in the other meaty role in the film is a revelation as the poker-faced star daughter caught in the media and marketing mayhem.

But the “cheap” thrills make Luck By Chance a must-watch. Rishi Kapoor as the roly-poly producer Romy Rolly and Dimple Kapadia as “the crocodile in a chiffon sari” at the top of their game are the real treats. Hrithik, in what can be best described as an extended cameo, is awesome. It’s so good to see him on screen after so long, that too as a man of flesh and blood. His scene with the street kids is a complete delight.

The special appearances are that — special. From Mac Mohan to Anurag Kashyap, Aamir Khan to Kareena Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla to Rajkumar Hirani, everyone brings himself to the movie. The hero montage with Abhishek, Ranbir, Vivek, John and Akshaye is simply hilarious!

The camerawork by Carlos Catalan is good, especially the lamp-lit rooftop shot framed at dawn. Shankar Ehsaan Loy have done better work before even though Baawre and Sapnon se bhare naina work beautifully. Especially the latter which punctuates the auditioning for the hero, leading up to Farhan’s very Taxi Driver-ish look-up into the mirror.

Besides the obvious Bollywood in-jokes, the references to foreign films are unmistakable. Whether it is the Fellini-inspired circus song sequence, or the quick little foot massage Vikram gives to Sona (remember Pulp Fiction?) or the Raging Bull poster hanging from a wall, Zoya mixes it great!

At 160 minutes, Luck By Chance may seem a tad too long but it will perhaps give you a more straightforward perspective in life — Apne raste pe chalte raho, saari duniya us raste pe aa jayegi... The path Zoya has obviously followed.

Synopsis :

In India, cricket is much much more than just a game; it is a passion, an obsession, a religion!

Millions of youngsters, in all the corners of the country, dream of playing for India! A dream which incredibly only ONE in every 100 MILLION realizes.

‘VICTORY’ is the story of a father, Ram Shekhawat, who saw such an impossible dream for his son! This is also the HEROIC story of his son Vijay Shekhawat.
Hailing from the small town of Jaisalmer, Vijay Shekhawat becomes India’s latest world-class batting sensation and is catapulted to superstardom!

But it is the glamour and the glitter of this very demi-god status that makes the young, vulnerable small-town boy Vijay stray from his true vocation of cricket. Unfortunately this leads to a loss of focus and to a miserable drop in his performance. But by the time Vijay realizes the error of his ways, it is too late and he finds himself thrown out of the Indian cricket team because of disciplinary reasons. Suddenly the hero of the cricket crazy India becomes a villain in everyone’s eyes. His father Ram Shekhawat’s dreams are shattered and suffers a paralytic stroke.

This tragedy awakens Vijay’s conscience and sense of honor. He wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his father and every Indian. Against great odds, he once again makes it back to the Indian team and gets to play in the finals of the Champion’s trophy against Australia where he plays a stellar role in enabling India to win the Trophy. Where in the emotionally moving final, in spite of being hospitalized mid-innings because of an injury, Vijay returns to bat, risking permanent injury, when India are nine down, to pull off an impossible victory against the world champion, Ricky Ponting’s Australia.

In this match Vijay Shekhawat fulfils his father’s dreams and enters the pantheon of Indian cricket.

If ‘GOAL’ was the definitive soccer film, and ”BULL DURHAM” the definitive baseball film then “VICTORY’ will be the definitive cricket film.

City of God... ...And the Devil

Slumdog Millionaire plucks the heartstrings, coaxing laughter and sobs out of sweet, sour and false notes

A gaudy, gorgeous rush of colour, sound and motion, Slumdog Millionaire, the latest from the British shape-shifter Danny Boyle, doesn’t travel through the lower depths, it giddily bounces from one horror to the next. A modern fairytale about a pauper angling to become a prince, this sensory blowout largely takes place amid the squalor of Mumbai, where lost children and dogs sift through trash so fetid you swear you can smell the discarded mango as well as its peel, or could if the film weren’t already hurtling through another picturesque gutter.

Boyle, who first stormed the British movie scene in the mid-1990s with flashy entertainments like Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, has a flair for the outré. Few other directors could turn a heroin addict rummaging inside a rank toilet bowl into a surrealistic underwater reverie, as he does in Trainspotting, and fewer still could do so while holding onto the character’s basic humanity. The addict, played by Ewan McGregor, emerges from his repulsive splish-splashing with a near-beatific smile (having successfully retrieved some pills), a terrible if darkly funny image that turns out to have been representative not just of Boyle’s bent humour but also of his worldview: better to swim than to sink.

Swimming comes naturally to Jamal (the British actor Dev Patel in his feature-film debut), who earns a living as a chai-wallah serving fragrant tea to call-centre workers in Mumbai and who, after a series of alternating exhilarating and unnerving adventures, has landed in the hot seat on the television game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Yet while the story opens with Jamal on the verge of grabbing the big prize, Simon Beaufoy’s cleverly kinked screenplay, adapted from a novel by Vikas Swarup, embraces a fluid view of time and space, effortlessly shuttling between the young contestant’s past and his present, his childhood spaces and grown-up times. Here, narrative doesn’t begin and end: it flows and eddies — just like life.

By all rights the texture of Jamal’s life should have been brutally coarsened by tragedy and poverty by the time he makes a grab for the television jackpot. But because Slumdog Millionaire is self-consciously (perhaps commercially) framed as a contemporary fairy tale cum love story, or because Boyle leans toward the sanguine, this proves to be one of the most upbeat stories about living in hell imaginable.

It’s a life that begins in a vast, vibrant, sun-soaked, jampacked ghetto, a kaleidoscopic city of flimsy shacks and struggling humanity and takes an abrupt, cruel turn when Jamal (Ayush Mahesh Khedekar), then an exuberant 7, and his cagier brother, Salim (Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail), witness the murder of their mother (Sanchita Choudhary) by marauding fanatics armed with anti-Muslim epithets and clubs.

Cast into the larger, uncaring world along with another new orphan, a shy beauty named Latika (Rubina Ali plays the child, Freida Pinto the teenager), the three children make their way from one refuge to another before falling prey to a villain whose exploitation pushes the story to the edge of the unspeakable.

Although there’s something undeniably fascinating, or at least watchable, about this ghastly interlude — the young actors are very appealing and sympathetic, and the images are invariably pleasing even when they shouldn’t be — it’s unsettling to watch these young characters and, by extension, the young nonprofessionals playing them enact such a pantomime. It doesn’t help even if you remember that Jamal makes it out alive long enough to have his 15 televised minutes.

It’s hard to hold onto any reservations in the face of Boyle’s resolutely upbeat pitch and seductive visual style. Beautifully shot with great sensitivity to colour by the cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantel, in both film and digital video, Slumdog Millionaire makes for a better viewing experience than it does for a reflective one.

It’s an undeniably attractive package, a seamless mixture of thrills and tears, armchair tourism (the Taj Mahal makes a guest appearance during a sprightly interlude) and crackerjack professionalism. Both the reliably great Irrfan Khan (A Mighty Heart), as a sadistic detective, and the Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, as the preening game-show host, run circles around the young Patel, an agreeable enough if vague centrepiece to all this coordinated, insistently happy chaos.

In the end, what gives me reluctant pause about this bright, cheery, hard-to-resist movie is that its joyfulness feels more like a filmmaker’s calculation than an honest cry from the heart about the human spirit (or, better yet, a moral tale).

In the past Boyle has managed to wring giggles out of murder (Shallow Grave) and addiction (Trainspotting), and invest even the apocalypse with a certain joie de vivre (the excellent zombie flick 28 Days Later). He’s a blithely glib entertainer who can dazzle you with technique and, on occasion, blindside you with emotion, as he does in his underrated children’s movie, Millions.

He plucked my heartstrings in Slumdog Millionaire with well-practised dexterity, coaxing laughter and sobs out of each sweet, sour and false note.

The mystery disappears

A lack-luster mishmash of every horror classic

A genuine horror film takes over your life. A shadow makes you break out into a cold sweat, a sudden noise makes you jump out of your skin, you think twice before stepping into a dark room alone. You are convinced “it’s” coming for you. Director Mohit Suri may claim that Raaz 2 is a tribute to many supernatural films, but much as it genuinely tries to, there is simply not enough in this story of bhoot-pret and andhvishwas to keep you on the edge of your seat for 160 minutes. You feel relaxed enough to check out the cosy couple next to you. The 30-second promos did much better.

For a horror film to hold interest, the scream moments need to come in early and fast. But while Raaz 2 starts interestingly enough with the mysterious death of a temple priest in the morbid terrain of Kalindi, a large part of the first half is devoted to the love story between supermodel Nandita Chopra (Kangana Ranaut) and reporter Yash Dayal (Adhyayan Suman), who runs a television show that rubbishes age-old rituals and belief in spirits. Enter Prithvi (Emraan Hashmi), a painter who stalks Nandita, later revealing to her that her life is in danger.

How does he know that? An unseen force has compelled his brush to come up with a series of paintings that depict her in the grip of a spirit — one painting even shows how she is going to die. That sets off a series of bizarre occurrences — including a couple of gruesome, unexplained suicides — and Nandita finds the harmony of her existence, her relationships and eventually her life threatened. Given up as crazy by the world and abandoned by the man she loves, she takes things into her hands.

Its makers have been crying themselves hoarse claiming Raaz 2 is no Raaz. It’s true. Neither in its storyline nor in its spook quotient. Raaz 2 is also not another Raaz because while the 2003 runaway success was largely loyal to the Harrison Ford-Michelle Pfeiffer starrer What Lies Beneath, this film ends up as a mishmash of The Exorcist, The Omen films, The Ring series and The Grudge flicks, besides a whole lot of Korean horror films whose DVDs the director must have surely stocked up on.

There is the haunted house of The Grudge copied right up to the attic and even the “moment in the killer well” pasted from The Ring. But though the film in entirety may not leave much of an impression — a lame backstory makes you confused and the attempt at a twist at the end leaves a lot to be desired — there are some scenes that do make one sit up, eyes wide open. Like the one in the bathtub in which Kangana’s character is attacked for the first time (yes, there is a nude silhoutte too, but no full frontal) or the one in which she, distraught and spooked, looks away from the mirror, but her image continues to stare at her. Or the one in which a pack of nilgai attack Emraan and Kangana’s car.

With her Medusa-like curls and her high-strung expression, Kangana is a natural candidate for a horror film. She delivers a knockout performance. Saddled with the role of a man tormented by his own paintings, Emraan too does well with his silent brooding act. Adhyayan Suman proves to be the weak link. The man struggles with his expressions and there is very little chemistry with real-life love Kangana. Mr Shekhar Suman, before asking Akshay Kumar to apologise for Chandni Chowk to China, you should ask your son to choose another career!

One doesn’t expect much out of the music of a horror film, but since Raaz 2 has a song popping up every now and then, the music (Raju Singh, Toshi-Sharib and Gourav Dasgupta) should have been better, but only Maahi and Soniye are worth a listen. Ravi Walia’s lens, however, does well for the greater part of the film.

Flickering lights, curtains blowing in the wind, being startled by a face pressed against the car window. Can our horror film makers think of newer — and better — ways to scare us?

And please, we want a less boring bhoot.

Raaz - The Mystery Continues (2009) Movie Posters :

Raaz 2 Got 'A' Certificate and Celebrity Actor Emraan Hashmi's Interview :

Raaz — The Mystery Continues has got an ‘A’ certificate from the Censor board. However, Mahesh Bhatt sees a silver lining to the dark cloud and rejoices, because this has led to the scenes which were earlier deleted being reincorporated. The senior Bhatt informs: “There is a suggestion of nudity when Kangana is in a bathroom sequence… that has been retained and there is also a sequence where Kangana is abusing and foul-mouthing. It’s a bit shocking because you have never seen an Indian heroine in that manner. But that was important to show that she is possessed.”

Mahesh claims: “It’s better to have an ‘A’ without any cuts than to have a ‘U/A’ certificate but with a mutilated film. There is no denying that there is a 15 per cent audience loss with an ‘A’ certificate but it also works as an attraction in terms of the final impact of the film with the retaining of crucial scenes. The horror component is now very high. We don’t have to get down on our knees to talk to the audience. When you dilute a product, then it’s like tadkewaali daal mein se tadka nikaal diya.”

Meet Emraan Hashmi, the actor who kisses. But the man who has notched up 16 on-screen kisses in his movies leaves it to the January 23 release of Raaz — The Mystery Continues for his audience to find out what he is up to this time. Kisses apart, he reveals all else in the following interview

Is it a must to kiss in every film?

No it’s not — only if it’s a must for my producer or director.

How many times have you kissed on screen?

Sixteen.

Which one was the most memorable?

All of them have been memorable!

Why did you choose a horror film to act in?

It was director Mohit’s (Suri) and my stupid childhood idea to make a horror film. Horror has never really gone mainstream in Bollywood. I remember seeing a film like Mahal (1949) about reincarnation. Then you had the 80s where the Ramsay brothers made horror shows that were gory and too in-your-face, if I may say so. It’s only been about scares. There is no human drama.

Horror films have always been set in a rural landscape but we wanted to think about what would scare a person living in Mumbai or Calcutta. This film has its base in an urban world. It’s not a cliched haveli kind of stuff. It’s also got — I wouldn’t call it adventure — but a lot of surprises and thrills… an anticipation of how the silence will be broken on screen… that lull in the cinema hall which reaches its peak when the ghost is shown. This is a kind of horror which is more on a psychological level.

Why do you say that Raaz 2 is not a sequel to Raaz of 2002?

The film is not a sequel because it’s not a continuation of Raaz. It’s a different story, different characters and a different kind of treatment of horror but under the same brand.

So there could be a third Raaz tomorrow?

If there has to be a third Raaz then yes, it will be separate and not a continuation of the first two. That way, someone who hasn’t seen the previous Raaz will still be able to watch the film and understand it.

You are so popular yet you are not regarded to be in the same league as the Khans or the Kumars. Why is that?

The Khans and the Kumars have been around for 20 years while I have been here for four years. But I’ll get where they are — and faster!

Are you and Kangana Ranaut a hit pair after Gangster and Raaz 2?

People have liked our chemistry on screen and we share a good vibe.

What is Tum Milein about, where you star with Soha Ali Khan?

The film is based on the Mumbai floods and I’m very excited about the film. It’s going good so far and it will be completed in two months. Soha is a great co-star.

You turn 30 in March this year. Are you happy where you are now?

You’re never happy where you are. And not being happy is a sign of wanting to grow and that’s a healthy sign. When you stop wanting it means you’ve reached the end of your career. I want more, I want to be able to do a lot more.

Will Emraan Hashmi ever been able to be in the same league as the Khans or the Kumars through his acting and lots of kissing?

Kung fu thanda

Despite Akshay Kumar’s best efforts, CC2C is 160 minutes not well spent

The foreigners make Chicken Tikka better than we do these days. Whether it’s Boyle-ing in Britain or Baz-ing Down Under, they have got hold of the secret Bollywood recipe and are dishing out their own lip-smacking baltis. All we are left with is dum aloo! That’s what the harrowing and hackneyed horror show called Chandni Chowk to China will make you believe.

Sony Pictures started off their India campaign with the pretentious and self-indulgent Saawariya. They haven’t made a Bollywood move since. And Chandni Chowk to China could well ensure that Warner Bros stays away from Hindi films for quite some time. Though for entirely different reasons.

While Saawariya went the arthouse way, CC2C tries to celebrate the best of Bollywood kitsch. Twins separated at birth, mistaken identities, baby found in a basket, avenging family murder, songs seen in dreams… it has every possible plot point that Nasir Hussain and Manmohan Desai ever used. Clearly the attempt here is to give the world — it’s the widest ever release in the US with 125 screens — the taste of the original Bollywood masala.

But Nikhil Advani is no Farah Khan. What could have been a sumptuous homage to the best Hindi films of yore turns out to be an insipid and wishy-washy goulash of clichéd hooks. In fact, the scripting by Sridhar Raghavan, who wrote the intelligent Bluffmaster!, is so random that sometimes you are not sure you are watching one movie.

Ok, let’s try the impossible task of putting together parts of this jigsaw puzzle. A Chinese village lives in terror. Why? A smuggler named Hojo (Gordon Liu) spins his bowler hat like the sudarshan chakra to behead villagers! Prayers to Buddha lead a couple of villagers to India in search of a reincarnated kung fu warrior who had once fought for the peasants. Why? Buddha was born in India, silly!

Sidhu (Akshay) the Chandni Chowk vegetable cutter believes his destiny lies in China. Why? His feng shastra (feng shui meets vastu shastra) guruji Chopstick (Ranvir) cons both the villagers and him! Sidhu’s Dada (Mithun), who’s brought up the orphan, doesn’t want him to go but he has made up his mind. Why? ‘Aloo mein ganesh’ — the curves on the potato he was cutting makes it look like the elephant god! He bumps into a model Sakhi (Deepika) at the Chinese consulate who makes him dance. Why? She appears in the advertisement of a machine called Dancemaster G9!

And that’s just Chandni Chowk. Once the action shifts to China — even though they shoot mostly in Bangkok (you can’t miss the airport) — the madness multiplies many times over. There’s another Deepika with glued eyelashes and there’s Deepika’s dad who is now a Bhikhari Baba with Ghajini memory loss. Then there’s an umbrella which works like a parachute and an ear aid which can translate languages. See, random is not necessarily bad. The Coen Brothers are masters of arbitrariness but the loopiness is all worked into the plot. Advani obviously bites off more than he can chew and just like in Salaam-e-Ishq, the tumbleweed goes tumbling on and on. You cannot make Kung Fu Panda and Kung Fu Hustle in one film and sell it as Akshay Kumar’s biography.

You can be smart but everyone’s not a fool. For all those of you who have fixed your weekend plex date with CC2C, well, here’s what you can actually look forward to. It’s nothing new for him but it bears repetition — Akshay, yet again, is the best thing about a bad film. Unlike in Singh is Kinng, he is consistently funny throughout. Watch him in the scene where he dances back-to-back to Bollywood’s evergreen chartbusters or the one where he jumps out at the mention of Chura ke dil mera — “Is gaane ka master toh main hoon.”

In full-on action mode after a long time, Akshay’s kung fu training sequence, punctuated with Kailash Kher’s vocals, is the high point of the film. Deepika does what she is best at — looking good and doing little else.

But it must be underlined that she looks stunning, whether as Rampuri Chaku or nanchaku. The music is good, with the title track (Shankar Ehsaan Loy) and Sidhu (Kailash Kher) being the highlights; but Bappida’s modified India se aaya mera dost jars.

The cinematography by Himman Dhamija lives up to the Warner Bros tag. But the real pay-offs? Mithunda popping up in the action sequence and announcing in Gunmaster G9 style: “Aye burbak, bees haathon ka sahara lekar khud ko teesmarka samajhta hai?” before landing a couple of legendary punches. And, of course, Gordon Liu, the kung fu icon who first took us through the 36 Chambers of Shaolin and then played Pai Mei in Kill Bill, the man with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, flying in thin air for a Bollywood movie.

Those are really the few redeeming factors for the genre fanboys. Otherwise Chandni Chowk to China is a journey that is not worth 160 minutes of your lives. It’s also high time the Khans and the Kumar realise that there’s no glory using your star power to fanatically market bad movies and make crores over the first three days.

Did you like or not like Chandni Chowk to China?

Slumdog Millionaire (2009) Movie Details, News, Awards, Photos and Wallpapers :

Hollywood seems to have taken notice of Bollywood at last, with Slumdog Millionaire, an Indo-British movie directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Millions, 28 Days Later, Sunshine), winning four Golden Globes awards (“Global ride on 4-Global Slumdog, Jan 13”) including best director, picture, screenplay and score. The Fox Searchlight Pictures/Warner Bros. Pictures release, the film is based on the novel “Q and A” by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.

Part exhilarating love story, part eye-catching journey into the underbelly of the so-called “maximum city” of Mumbai, part stirring tale of an Everyman’s triumph against a harsh, cynical world, Slumdog Millionaire is a visceral, action-packed Dickensian epic for the 21st century. At the heart of its exuberant storytelling lies the intriguing question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

A.R. Rahman, who won his first Golden Globe for scoring the film’s music, thanked “a billion people of India” while accepting the award with great humility. It is interesting to see how Rahman has honed his skills over the years. With every film, be it Jodhaa Akbar or Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, he introduced the audience to hitherto unknown talents — singers and musicians with unique skills. Rahman has enthralled us with his tuneful compositions over the years, from Roja to Slumdog Millionaire. Music lovers are assured of a new experience in each of Rahman’s scores, which are refreshingly different from the typical Bollywood music Indians are familiar with. By winning the Golden Globe, Rahman has put India on the global map of music.

What sets Rahman apart from other Indian composers is his versatility as a singer and an instrumentalist. He is choosy about his projects and knows where he stands, having won the prize after being adjudged by renowned composers like Howard Shore and Danny Elfman.

But when the show breaks for the night, suddenly, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal's incredible past, from his riveting tales of the slums where he and his brother Salim survived by their wits to his hair-raising encounters with local gangs to his heartbreak over Latika, the unforgettable girl he loved and lost.

Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out...The result is the sweeping, stylish, intoxicatingly human experience of Slumdog Millionaire.

Deepika Padukone interview on Chandni Chowk To China

Chandni Chowk To China (2009) film wallpapers :

Exclusive Interview of Celebrity Actress Deepika Padukone on Chandni Chowk To China :

Following is an exclusive interview of celebrity and sexy actress Deepika Padukone on her action-packed double role in this week’s big release Chandni Chowk To China.

Considering the downturn, do you think it’s the right time to release Chandni Chowk To China?

With the success of Rab Ne Bana De Jodi and Ghajini, one feels more confident now. I have given my all to the film but the release date is not in my hands. I am sure Chandni … is going to do really well.

In Chandni Chowk To China we will see you in a double role again after Om Shanti Om...

The double roles in Chandni… are totally different from Om Shanti Om. I got to play two completely different people — Sakhi is completely Indian as she grows up in India while her sister has been brought up in China and has become like a Chinese girl. It was very challenging because both the roles were very different, one girl being Indian and very feminine and the other girl being Chinese, very strong, bold and sexy.

It must have been difficult to keep switching between the two looks...

It’s very challenging. On many days, I had to play both the characters at the same time. So I had to keep changing my look and that became pretty challenging.

We’ve heard you had to put some glue on your face to get the Chinese look...

We were planning to use tapes initially but I was advised not to do that because you can’t stretch your eyes for so many hours a day. The make-up expert Mallika came up with the idea of doing my eyes in a way that would make them look Chinese. And I think I do look quite Chinese thanks to that.

What sort of training have you done for the action scenes?

The Chinese girl I play gets to do a lot of action. So I had the opportunity to do very interesting fight sequences with Akshay as well. When Nikhil (Advani) told me that I have action sequences with Akshay, I was definite that I would not be able to do them without training. So I trained for about six months for eight hours a day. A trainer came down from China and trained me for the cable work that we have done in the film.

How did you acquire your super-fit look in the movie?

I think the six months strenuous training did wonders. I don’t believe in a crash diet. I believe in eating healthy.

People are calling you Lady Akshay Kumar because of your stunts...

Yeah, it’s very flattering. It is a tag that people gave me after they saw the trailers and some of my action sequences in the film. I have done amazing action, which no actress has done in Bollywood.

Was Akshay helpful during the stunt sequences?

Akshay is extremely supportive especially when it came to shooting the action scenes. He is a wonderful co-star and fantastic person. He has been around in the industry for more than 15 years. So I got to learn a lot from him.

Does being a tall girl hamper your chances of working with some of the Bollywood stars?

No, it doesn’t. I wear heels and that’s why I look so tall. I am not so tall (laughs).

Do you think Deepika Padukone is perfect for her role in Chandni Chowk To China? Who can be other option (heroine) from Bollywood for the role in the film?

3 Idiots (2009) Movie Posters, News, Gossips and Details :

Can the man who made the Munnabhai films turn one of the biggest bestsellers into a Bollywood blockbuster? We’ll have to wait and watch whether director Rajkumar Hirani does justice to Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone. For starters, he has got himself a fabulous cast. The 3 Idiots, as the working title goes, will be played by Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan. And Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani will be the other key players. The film will be produced by Munnabhai backer Vidhu Vinod Chopra with music by Shantanu Moitra.

The first shooting schedule of 3 Idiots commenced on August 26 in Mumbai. The first scene started in an aircraft with R. Madhavan. The next 20-day schedule was in Ladakh (with some parts at The Druk White Lotus School) with lead pair Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

Director Hirani who is quite thrilled with the project says: “We are literally off to a flying start. It was amazing to shoot inside a real aircraft. We are really excited and raring to go.”

Bollywood Hungama surveyed the most anticipated Bollywood movies of 2009 in January for the same year. 3 Idiots ranked number two for Top 20 movies (Top 10 movies for UK, and Top 10 movies for USA). It ranked number one for Top 10 movies for India. And why will it not be? Because this is the first time that the Munnabhai maker without Sanju Baba doing a film with the first-time jodi of Aamir-Bebo.

My Name is Khan (2009) Movie News, Gossips and Details :

The mustard fields of Punjab were made for them. So were the pyramids of Egypt and the markets of Chandni Chowk. But with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol on screen, you hardly noticed the backdrop. All you did was drown in their chemistry. Their on-screen love story, which began with Baazigar and will now be born again with Karan Johar’s next movie My Name is Khan (alvida - “K”), has been one of the glorious highs of recent Bollywood. Films will keep urging people to “come... fall in love” but not quite the way Raj and Simran did. This jodi did the famous five movies - Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham – all are superduper hit.

My Name is Khan goes on the floors in November of this year. The film is going to be shot extensively in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, and Mumbai. At the heart of it, it’s a love story. At the soul of it, it makes a social comment, and at the whole of it, it’s a human triumph tale.

According to Karan Johar’s word who said about his next movie is that - My Name Is Khan, was about a Muslim (played by SRK) who wanted to meet the American President so that he could say: “My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.”

Kajol had backed out of KJo-SRK’s last collaboration Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. The Bollywood buzz is that in My Name is Khan Kajol plays an Aamir Khan fan!

Karan Johar started the shooting for My Name is Khan from 18 December, 2008 in Los Angeles.

It has the power to be Bollywood’s biggest blockbuster overseas. Because, best Bollywood jodi, best director, best banner and Oh, the music for the film is given by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, so, one of the best music directors of Bollywood also.

Patterns that we call kismet.

In such an unpredictable climate, is success and failure what other's defined for you or is it something you decide for yourself?

Forgettable

Mr. Brain becomes Mr. Body but he fails to pack a punch

Boooo hoooo hooo! The-man-who-can-do-no-wrong has messed it up. Maane tu yaa maane naa, Ghajini is a step backwards for the man who made Taare Zameen Par. Aamir Khan, you didn’t need to do this. Especially not now. Hope the Academy members don’t get a print or copy of your new film. Otherwise they are sure to have a short-term memory loss about India’s chances at the Oscars this year.

Isn’t it ironic that the film that changed the way movies were made in Hollywood has been turned into a 180-minute showcase of primitive movie-making in Bollywood? The mother of all mind-benders, Christopher Nolan’s cult classic Memento, has been reduced to a vegetable — a word they forgot to translate from the original. What hurts most is not the inspiration bit but the complete lack of intelligence in the script.

Incredible as it may sound, coming from the little big man, Ghajini is no more than a B-grade masala revenge drama from the 80s. The ones where the dying person whispers the villain’s name to the hero just before going kaput. Or where the flashback dissolved in from the pages of a diary. Or where the villain and his merry men with flower-pot hairdo roamed the streets with metal bars. In fact, there are so many of those bars, we wonder how an iron and steel company didn’t make it to the brand tie-up list.

Ghajini’s trump card is, of course, the Memento bit — Aamir’s Sanjay suffers from anterograde amnesia. He can remember things for only about 15 minutes and you are reminded about this every 15 seconds. Yes, that’s the main problem with the film. Not only does it dumb down proceedings, it takes its audience to be dumb, explaining the same thing over and over again.

After all, Aamir couldn’t understand Memento! So what if the tattoos on his torso are in reverse to be read in the mirror? So what if he walks around with a Polaroid camera to click snapshots of people and give a personal caption for future reference? So what if he is avenging his wife’s death, has a man to kill and is helped by another woman? So what if the only twist in the end is yet another memento from Memento?

Yeah, yeah, Mr Khan sweated it out till Mr Brain became Mr Body. But did he really need to? Perhaps for the promotion and marketing bit, definitely not for the movie. A petite Uma Thurman could kill Bill and beat the shit out of his army. The roar in the “roaring rampage of revenge” should have come from within and not from those eight pack abs. Aamir plays it way over-the-top, which suited Surya in the Tamil version, but looks hysterical here.

Is there no redeeming factor through the three hours? Yes there is, and the name’s Asin. We have had a couple of very good debuts this year in Prachi Desai and Anushka Sharma but Asin is the best Bollywood find in a long, long time. Her character’s catchline in the film goes : “Kalpana jadoo ki chhadi hai… Yun ghoomti hai aur sarkarein badal jaati hain.” Don’t know about the sarkars but if Ghajini is to stay afloat after the four-day festive weekend, it has to be because of Asin.

In fact, the Aamir-Asin romantic track in the flashback is the only time you will find yourself laughing and smiling. Aamir as the suave business tycoon is far more at ease but it is Asin who steals the show and gives the film its best moments — the first meeting with Aamir, the helping of the handicapped children, the Ambassador sequence. She is refreshing, easy on the eye and a bundle of infectious energy.

Ghajini’s irony doesn’t end with Memento. In its own little way, it is an anti-thesis of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. There the common man disguised himself as a cool dude to woo the girl. Here the cool (and rich) dude disguises himself as the common man to woo the girl. While Aamir’s common man is nowhere close to SRK’s Suri experience, when the original chocolate boy hero says “I love you”, it still resonates the loudest in Bollywood.

Of course, he gets some help from the best people in the business to express his love. A.R. Rahman and Prasoon Joshi deliver yet again with Behka, Guzarish and Kaise mujhe being the passwords. Despite the very south Indian feel of things — extras prancing around in magenta jackets! — Ravi K. Chandran makes the songs look fetching, contrasting enough to the very-sombre very-green revenge track.

That brings us to the title character. Pradeep Rawat plays Ghajini, the guy Sanjay has to “find and kill”. Unfortunately, Rawat (the Sikh pacer in Lagaan), doesn’t deserve the honour. Even Sholay wasn’t called Gabbar. And here you have the old-school villain, with his rod fetish, mouthing inane lines (dialogues by Piyush Mishra) under his breath and trying his best to look evil. Jiah Khan is the other casting faux pas. She is so irritating that loud background music is often used to drown her lines.

Ghajini’s managed a U/A certificate but it’s not a good idea to take the kids along. Yes, most of the metal action is off-screen but the bodies lying around straight out of The Exorcist, heads turned around 360 degrees, don’t make a pretty sight. The action (Peter Heines and Stun Siva) is hands-on but after Bourne and now, even Bond, it’s again a case of been-there-seen-that.

Surely, most of you remember December 25. But don’t be surprised if within 15 minutes of your leaving the theatres, you go: “Ghajini? What’s that?” Because as the brilliant line in Memento goes, you “can’t remember to forget” the film.

What’s Memento

Director : Christopher Nolan

Cast : Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano

Plot :

Suffering from anterograde amnesia where he can only remember things that just happened, Leonard (Pearce) is out to avenge his wife’s murder. But as numerous characters point out, it would be a futile exercise because he won’t remember it in order to provide closure for him. The movie has two parallel tracks, the present shot in black-and-white and the future shot in colour. The present track is a telephone conversation Leonard is having in his motel room in which he compares his current state to that of a client whose insurance claim he once dealt with. And the flash forward shows him killing a certain Teddy who, he thinks, murdered his wife.

What’s Ghajini

Director : A.R. Murugadoss

Cast : Aamir Khan, Asin, Jiah Khan, Pradeep Rawat, Tinu Anand

Plot :

Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan), is a business tycoon who falls in love with Kalpana (Asin), a model. Kalpana saves a group of young girls from abuse by a group of goons led by Ghajini (Pradeep Rawat). When the same goons come to Kalpana’s house to settle scores, Sanjay arrives at the scene. Kalpana is murdered and Sanjay is hit on his head severely with a metal rod. Sanjay survives the blow but suffers anterograde amnesia because of the trauma of his brain injury. With a memory that only lasts for 15 minutes and with the help of a medical student Sunita (Jiah Khan), Sanjay hunts down Ghajini

Hi Suri, bye Raj

Rab ne is a quaint fairy tale trying too hard to be an epic romance

Thirteen years after they created box office history, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan are back at it. To tell a new story about love. To set new rules about romance. To give birth to a new hero. And perhaps to kill the hero they created in DDLJ!

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Aditya Chopra’s third directorial venture, is a well-planned antithesis of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Not only does it try to deconstruct Raj, whom SRK and Adi created with so much love and affection, it reverses the storyline. There you knew Raj and Simran were in love and wondered whether they will get together in the end. Here you know Surinder and Taani are together and you wonder whether they will fall in love in the end.

Well, doesn’t that sound like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam? Of course it does, just that the third angle here is Surinder himself! His alter ego — Raj! The Raj Surinder creates from all the masala movies Taani loves watching at the neighbourhood theatre in Amritsar. The Raj we have seen for the last 13 years, from DDLJ to KKHH, from K3G to Veer-Zaara.

Compared to the spiked-hair-tight-tee-torn-jeans-pink-shades Raj, Surinder is insipid. Even if there was no Raj, it would have been difficult to warm to the man who must be the only government employee in the country to bring work back home every night. White sneakers, side-parted hair, thick-rimmed glasses and that bushy moochhi — Suri-I-work-for-Punjab-Power is truly straight out of an RK Laxman comic strip.

So, how did Taani land up in Suri’s house? Yash Raj Formula No. 364: Zindagi mein kuch rishtein hum chunte hain... Kuch rabji chunte hain... Suri was Taani’s father’s favourite student. When her fiance dies in a road accident along with the rest of the baraati on Taani’s wedding day, Papaji’s heart attack ensures the unlikeliest of marriages.

After a spell of silence, Taani makes it very clear that she is ready to play the perfect bahu but cannot love Suri ever. Suri makes it clear to us: “Use dekhte hi mujhe labh ho gaya tha!” So enter Raj — “naam toh suna hoga?” — as Taani’s dancing partner in a dance workshop-cum-contest in town. Suri in the morning, Raj through the day and Suri again at night, Rab Ne is almost a romantic take on Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde. Or even a Superman, just that he’s born Clark Kent here and not the other way round.

There are three human characters in the film — Suri, Taani and Suri’s stylist friend Bobby (the very good Vinay Pathak), who is not just responsible for his physical transformation, but also for his moral support. The two other very important characters in the film are Rab and the city of Amritsar. Rab, of course, rubs it in at all the right points. And despite large parts of the film being shot in the studios of Mumbai, there’s enough of Amritsar to give the film its own visual life.

In fact, the way Rab Ne takes off — the opening credits roll to a beautifully shot (by Ravi K. Chandran) Amritsar travelogue — and the way the first few reels unfold with Suri’s mundane life lit up every now and then by Taani’s broad smile, you wonder how the Chopra scion could trade champagne and chiffon for such delightful ordinariness.

Then, in his bid to bring in that extraordinary touch, Aditya Chopra loses the plot. Every time the quaint little fairytale tries to become a grandiose epic, Rab Ne struggles. As if it could have done without the loud and irritating Raj. As if the Punjab-powered Suri had enough steam to pull it off on his own.

Also, Rab Ne is way too long. At almost three hours, it tries your patience even if the goings-on are funny and the lines fresh. But the wait is worth it because the climax has Aditya Chopra magic written all over it and will put the smile back on your lips.

After Rab Ne, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for Shah Rukh Khan to play the hand-flinging head-shaking eye-squinting Raj/Rahul again. Call it deliberately played or just the age playing up, SRK’s Raj doesn’t look that cool at 43. Especially when the Imrans and Farhans spell the new cool.

But as Shah Rukh himself says, the believability of Rab Ne is because of debutante Anushka Sharma. Playing the I-live-for-love Chopra heroine with a hint of realness, the former model comes up with a nicely nuanced performance, remaining impressively cool in the face of the SRK fireworks.

The songs by Salim-Sulaiman look much better on screen than they sound on the CD. But how one misses the melody of Jatin-Lalit. Haule haule, the first half theme, is the pick of the lot, while the title track smoothens out the second half. Phir milenge chalte chalte is unnecessary but the five guest faces won’t allow you to sneak out.

If you don’t have DDLJ on your mind, you won’t mind Rab Ne. But the fact remains; it’s little more than an ordinary film with extraordinary intentions.
