Movie Review : Jail

2009-12-29T06:45:00.000-08:00

Madhur Bhandarkar's film is a different style. In his films, from social life events are happening choose a topic. To set up your hero, with it around her - the Gdhte characters are around. The specific area heard - Jail story is based on information understood. In this sense the reality of life in his films can be felt extremely close.

Madhur Bhandarkar Fashion from Chandni Bar to have achieved success in this particular style. Jail is the same style film in which he has touched new dimensions.

After a few scenes of the film's opening film, the hero of normal pollen reaches Dixit jail. Then in the final few scenes he looks out of jail. The police closed in on the basis of suspicion Parag Dixit two years after Kstdi get punished. After conviction, his hopes for freedom breaks out and he has adopted for the shortcuts. He tries to get out of jail, but the warden's advice and trust Nawab pressure comes back in jail again. Finally a good lawyer makes him exonerated from punishment. The prison's inner life and across us out of jail are aware of the bitter realities. Really sad film makes the trenchant viewer numb.

Madhur Bhandarkar's film character are of common life, so they Gise - beaten and seen - seem to listen. The characters talk - in practice utopianism is nil. So in view of his films feel that we recognize those characters and their words have been heard before. They differ from other makers of soft makes this feature. The social life of the area specific contradictions, and problems Dinbnaon connect through contexts. His movies do not stay very strong Naretiv story. They also do not insist on this. Some events and contexts for his film Madhur Weaver's infrastructure is complete.

Madhur Bhandarkar's bold effort to jail the next step. This time he is more Sad. Despite the relevance of content in earlier films in cinematic language and technique are a bit weak. In jail as his talent and sophisticated style finds. Though the film also hymns sung by Lata Mangeshkar items and Bollywood songs and Cippian like, yet the film remains a neem sadness. Prison break boundaries Hindi movie entertainment is developing a new dimension. This is the level of enlightenment. Diagnose and resolve contradictions in his films Madhur not ever arrive. He lives in contexts of social Ruphle screen as one piece is put.

Prison is the best thing that this does not in any romantic pressure. Despite the restraint of Madhur Bhandarkar Mugdha Godse took the job. Neil Nitin Mukesh and Manoj Bajpai are typical of the film between scenes of Anbole. Neil moderate actor. They are characters of Anderple. Parag Dixit in the film to shock the well screen is lived. Best actor Manoj Bajpai, of course. His talent in such films are disclosed. Sweet for the collaborative roles Arya Babbar, Rahul Singh and Chetan Pandit selected as best actor. Received less visible Mugdha Godse, but dedicated and determined as he liked are beloved.

Movie Review : Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

2009-12-29T06:17:00.000-08:00

Ranbir Kapoor is the love of film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. He's Jenny's boyfriend. Jenny likes her very much. Finally he feels that his real love is, love. She is home with her Bsati.

Given the film clearly that after the election of Rajkumar Santoshi Ranbir and Katrina is woven story of the film, because every scene from the beginning and end of the two is only one artist. Or it can limit the director's Hindi film stars in the changing scenario can assume central importance.

The purpose of the film is laughter, so from the beginning to the end envisaged that such scenes could padded audience. This is a simple comedy film, and it can be said that Rajkumar Santoshi's only one other film it with his own comedy style is weak. Ranbir Kapoor is mainly dependent on the film though he does not disappoint the audience. Love the character appears on their acting confident glow. She seems sweet in every way, as they have fulfilled my role and trust the Mnoyog. Shammi Kapoor in a theme he has nodded as well. Bollywood Songs of the movie are great to listen to.

His dance Sicvens Adaan are attractive. Ranbir Kapoor definitely leading the younger generation and are capable of stars. In the film comedies in movies prove that he can breakthrough. The film mainly focuses on Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, so other characters have not received the required value. Only love as the father of philosophy attract attention because of personality Jriwala his stature. Otherwise, Govind Namdev, Zakir Hussain, loving fiance of the four friends and Katrina are all Kecr Carrie. Zakir Hussain capable actor known as Lever style has been adopted. The director will be pressure. The final scene in a long skirmish to see cartoon characters made laugh, but laughter was heard it is fun to hear again. And can not be more profound influence.

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif chemistry was much discussed. The hero of every movie such chemistry - between the heroine looks. Silver screen couple special effects could not leave. However, it must be said that Katrina Kaif is beautiful dolls saw stepped out of the mold. Rajkumar Santoshi has tried to make them act.

Movie Review - Tum Mile

2009-12-28T08:01:00.000-08:00

Before the background of natural events was a lot of films. Floods, droughts, earthquakes and accidents were shattered family, were separated and then his character leaves the film was completed in Reunion. Families successful formula meeting Bicudne and lasted for decades. Kunal Deshmukh, the reunion of the formula is kept in the background of a flood of 26-7 in the movie Tum Mile..

Mumbai coming business class flight to sit on his seat six years ago to renewable smell Chaunkati girlfriend has been separated. That way - there is Jankta sees Sanjana sitting on the seat. Both are down in Mumbai and then in the rain of July 26, 2005 to leave their positions. Rainfall is high. Akshay's former girlfriend and caring for Sanjana comes to find him. Six years ago the beautiful love, sad and snacks are moments I miss him. How are together. Lived some romantic moments. Money and career issues were fought and then separated. In the sea of memories and thoughts into reality boom hits city is unabridged. Like two lovers in wet environment Creepy Bigta and misunderstandings of the dirt is washed away. They both understand that one - are made for each other.

Mahesh Bhatt's presentation certainly Touch is every director's film Romance. Increase and to express his films, romance is used pretty sweet songs. Bhatt's films with music camp song words are required attention. Finds poetry in the old sense, and new words are saying. You found the song - the music is sweet and long ears Gunjta.

Kunal Deshmukh reunion tale of lost lovers are able to show, the July 26 floods in Rikriatt success has required them. Limited budget pressures are evident. The magnitude and horror of July 26 Mumbaikars still have not found out. Two days if it rains fast rumors seem to swim. He could not recover in the film's horrors. City flood and street scenes of people stranded Afra - in depicting Tfri Kunal Deshmukh has failed. Hindi Songs of the movie are emotional and heart touching.

Imran Hashmi and his characters are beautiful and impressive Soha Ali Khan has been discharged. Both the acting looks glow. The film's characters have not been given more attention to styling and looks. Richness of their character's costumes, Soha Ali Khan not reflected. As it is not conscious of Soha Ali Khan style and Diktin APPEARANCE Bears. Miss Ichha to be.

Movie Review : De Dana Dan

2009-12-27T11:27:00.000-08:00

Priyadarshan directed his films do not. They are shooting. It seems that after they leave their Actor explain the script. After on-camera actor trying to perform its own characters are given. At the end of her films that is confusion, in charge of the scene remains in the hands of Actors. Otherwise how can be directed to Sean Claimeks of De Dana Dan can be? Priyadarshan's other comedy films De Dana Dan give the same Dn. Crafts, variation in presentation and maintenance is nil. Only this time the number of players has increased.

The film's hero Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty. Kaif and Sameera Reddy are the heroines Katrina. Besides these four are nearly two dozen characters Artists. This kind of character Artist film. They add that confusion itself confusion are involved. Bunker and Nitin Ram Mishra film 'poverty, wages Ftehali and begins with a donkey. Trying to be rich both in a hotel stay immature, where some people already have come and stayed. Intrvl come by - all the characters come together is so complicated that the tip of the story disappears. Writer - the director did not want that audience in mind or any story are hope. After Intrvl hero - actress and character are Gdd-mdd Artists on one level. All are equal. Bollywood Songs of the movie are also very good.

After the game began in slow speed film Interval catches. Speed to catch misunderstandings, Cinajpti, Cintakshi, Mskri, conspiracy, stupidity and Besir - leg actions are initiated. Between - in between has to be heard as some common phrases dialogue. We are Kijte characters from the screams, but we laugh at his innocence and is trouble. Film and some scenes too Hnsati is Hnsati. You might think so by mistake because of his laughter realize that you have been involved in Priyadarshan's Fuhdta. Ltifebajon have sat in the Mahfil where laughing is a natural religion. We're laughing because people are laughing. People are laughing because we're laughing.

About women and money in giving De Dana Dan is tremendous confusion. Priyadarshan's comedy films are more openly Mardwadi mockery of women's fly. Talking about this film Performers Rajpal Yadav, Asrani be handled by the liver and is. Archana can be taken to fill the fourth name. Katrina Kaif, Sameera Reddy and Neha Dhupia Prfarmes choose not to, but is done for performance. Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty diamonds, as they sing songs with heroines. We can show that comedy films about De Dana Dan have been so casual. One question is whether without Chike - scream comedy film dialogue can not be spoken?

Rocket Singh - Sales Man of The Year - Review

2009-12-23T05:00:00.000-08:00

Producer Aditya Chopra and Jaideep Sahni again with Schmidt Amin film is bound to grow over coming expectations. There had a film like Chak De India, which today has become a proverb. Shah Rukh Khan is not with them this time, but it is Ranbir Kapoor. Success of two consecutive films has increased her fan. For female characters in films Schmidt Amin keeps no more room. So they look, but remains in Sportiv roll. Rocket Singh - The salesman of the year is Focus on ethics in business.

Heart clear and sharp mind to understand myself reading Harpreet Singh - in writing is not smart. B. 38 percent after work to finish the job search finds any salesmen. The job is to overturn his ethics and honesty. The company's owner would have declared him zero penalty and give his honesty. Harpreet not admit defeat. He lived in the company strategy and Bhidhata makes your company stand. Theft - hidden in running this business Harpreet Singh Bar - Bar ethics and honesty keeps talking. His company is focused on sales than service. The result is that the sight becomes a challenge to see his company's old company. The film starts and all honest drama wins. The victory has been put forcefully to establish scene. The film ends before the end. After increasing the length of the film's scenes.

So be it Punjab Yash Raj Films movie is bound. This time the story was and Bakdrap business was not possible to take the Punjab Sardar hero showed. Although make-up of the Sardar Ranbir Kapoor seem credible, but his talk - is not Pnjabit behavior. It is lacking in shaping character.

The film's title the name of a person like rocket Singh, while the film is in the rocket company name. It seems that the writer and director rocket Singh Chak De India such as H H H also are conducive to film in pressure. Their motives are stated that MBA students to rocket Singh H H H moral lessons to be Rikomed.

Harpreet shows that business is not any tricks or magic. We must connect with people. People are the customer. Harpreet is that he taunted the forest is trying to become the Mahatma. Just one particular scene in Background to move, just to survive, this is Bombay, my dear .. Hindi Songs rings. Fully explain and try to show that between one honest Beimanon has Harpreet, who gives moral lessons from the business.

Ranbir Kapoor does not disappoint in terms of acting. The way they push the character in early scenes do, do not subsist on it. Harpreet playful slowly - slowly becomes serious and large - to think big things. His grandfather has been presented in the form of alerts. Prem Chopra is look cute in this role. Padamsee and more useful part of Gauhar Khan Sajan were not visible. Popular actors must have not agreed in their Bhuamikaon. Light promo film - would realize hearted comedy, but the film just is not.

The Internation Sonam Kapoor

2009-12-20T17:46:00.001-08:00

She trips the light luminous as she walks in. She chats away in that tinkly voice of hers. It’s like she’s taking in the whole world on all at once. She doesn’t want to miss a thing. Bookworm, diva, girl-next-door. She’s all that and more. And her Facebook status says she hasn’t slept for days. Uh oh. Wassup? She giggles tossing her long tresses over her shoulders. “I’ve been reading. One of my best friends, Cyrus Sahukar, gifted me the complete Oscar Wilde collection and I just finished reading The Picture Of Dorian

Gray. It kept me up all night. There’s a quote there that says, “Men get married because they are bored and women get married because they are curious and in the end both are disappointed.” She trails off into that tinkling laughter of hers again. She loves the classics. She remembers each and every character in every book she has read, she has a quirky, interesting take on the sexual Dynamics in Victorian novels, she corrects me when I get the ending wrong of one of her favorite ones (and mine) Jane Eyre. I make up my mind to go back and re-read the ending.

No wonder then that when debutant director Rajshri Ojha came to her with the idea of adapting Jane Austen’s Emma, Sonam jumped at it. “Emma is a comedy. It’s not even a usual classic. It’s about this matchmaking girl who doesn’t ever admit that this guy is perfect for her even though others can clearly see it. She only wants to fix other people’s lives instead of fixing her own. And who wouldn’t love Mr Knightly, the hero of the story?” she sighs. “He is the quintessential Jane Austen hero — strong, silent and ever protective.” Her excitement about this international project is evident. It’s supposed to be a typical date movie, a chick flick. “My two great loves fashion and movies... I get to indulge in both with aisha. This is my sister Rhea’s pet project, it’s her baby. It’s going to be an estrogen filled project,” she tells me with satisfaction.

I want to know if she’s a Miss-Fix-It in real life just like the famous character she is about to essay. Sipping her coffee, she nods in agreement. “Yup, that’s me. I have this desperate need to take care of everyone. It gives me self-validation. And I have control and organizational issues. Cyrus is constantly making fun of me. He says I am like Jack Nicholson inAs GoodAslt Gets. But it’s true, I have serious OCD(Obsessive compulsive disorder). Whenever I am upset I start folding things or cleaning up. If I am upset then I start arranging all the things in my room in alphabetical order. But the next time I am upset everything will be color coordinated. And the time after that it will be according to the genre. But the one really particular OCD I have is about bathrooms. I simply can’t share it with anyone. Some day, when I get married, my guy will have to get a separate bathroom. I think the key to a successful marriage is separate bathrooms,” she says with a hearty guffaw.

But marriage is a far off thought for this gorgeous 23-year-old. And from what she says, even a serious relationship is not something she craves at the moment. I m not looking out for a serious relationship. I’m too young. I want to have a good time and I want to date. And frankly there are no men left. Atleast not the type I like. I haven’t been in a serious relationship since I started working,” she reveals.

But then she has constantly been linked with various eligible hunks be it her Saawariya co-star and best friend Ranbir Kapoor, Kunal Kapoor or more recently her aisha hero Abhay Deol. “The Abhay Deol rumours are completely untrue. He is going to be my co-star in the film so we interact a lot. But I think we are too similar to fall for each other. We are both too bohemian and wild. We get along well and I hope we will be good friends,” she exclaims. Then she says in an offhand manner, “Besides, I’ve decided I don’t want to date an actor who is in Hindi Songs.” Err.. why not? “Because I have to work with them and any involvement of that sort can get really awkward. Maybe I will in the future when I quit acting and turn to writing and direction like I’ve always wanted to do.”

PLAYING THE FIELD

2009-12-15T16:16:00.000-08:00

A hundred years after it was the scene of a large Indian drama, Mahatma Gandhi’s episodes need no retelling, South Africa is playing host to another large Indian drama, in happier and lighter circumstances. Ladies and gentlemen, switch on your TV sets. The first episodes of Series 2 of the great Indian cricket carnival, the Indian Premier League, is unfolding.

Indeed, South Africa is the new Kashmir. Locales have changed, and ever since Yash Raj replaced the chinars with the firs, and the rajnigandha with the tulips, Indian entertainment has sought, and claimed, many exotic locales. So, how can the IPL be far behind? With many circumstances, (security and politics being two major ones), hovering in the background, it has taken a stupendous effort to move the entire set to another country. If the first few days are anything to go by, it seems to be a resounding box office hit.

Commercialization has been taken to a new level. And the stars are getting even more involved. SRK is there in all his pomp and splendor. He is part of the active management of a cricket team and runs it in the same professional, objective manner that he approaches his film career. No-nonsense, finding solutions. He’s true CEO material, SRK, bully for him. Shilpa Shetty takes ownership, as gracefully as ever, and lights up the Newlands ground with her 1000-watt smile. Team owners have never looked prettier. Preity celebrates with her team when they do well and shares their sorrow when they lose. She’s one of them. Her expressions portray the emotions of a state.

The efforts to educate young South Africans resonate in every heart among the Protease. Well deserved. And for those not as philanthropically inclined, there are eyeballs gawking as the cameras zoom in on pretty South African women, to identify one winner who would fly (first class) to Mumbai to act in a Bollywood Song.

I cringe at the branding and I cringe at the thought but I smile at the effort. It doesn’t matter that some of the participants seem to have been taught names of Bollywood Songs minutes before they go on air. It matters less that they (and the commentator) think that Shakoor Khan is the name of one of India’s biggest stars. What matters is that “Shakoor” and Shilpa and Preity and a host of others are watching. And we are watching them.

The IPL has its detractors. It has its share of opposition. There are those who have objected to it being staged in another land. Why pray, they swear, is it then called the Indian Premier League? To them, we say, dream merchants are never restricted by location. We don’t have the saris, we have cheerleaders and we have commercialization never seen before. But, as ‘Shakoor” has said in a “Bollywood” film, “Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani.”

As a tribute to his unflagging spirit and zeal, we have SRK as our cover boy too. Catch him in action and he spins the googlies and unfurls the magic yet again.

Go burn.

ALL THE BEST

2009-10-28T05:46:00.001-07:00

Dear Mr Ajay Devgan. I don't know whether you have officially knocked off the 'A' from your surname or it is just a passing fad for a shift in spelling. For fear of you getting back to your original spelling, I'd rather address you with the 'A'. Remember Kareina Kapoor and Viveik Oberoi? They both went back to their original spellings.

Anyways, this note before the review is to congratulate you on a laugh riot. You have really lit up the lives of millions of cinemagoers this Diwali. A big hug and also a big Thank You on behalf of the viewers who will know their money has been well spent and won't come out feeling Blue!

People, line up for your tickets, ALL THE BEST directed by Rohit Shetty is a MUST WATCH. Sanjay Dutt is having the time of his life in a role he revels from the time he enters Goa Airport. Never have I seen him having so much fun and being so involved in his character. Ajay Devgan is super in his support. The show belongs to these two. Atul Parchure, Johnny Lever and Sanjay Mishra are the others who will have you laughing your guts out.

ALL THE BEST is a situational comedy with good bollywood songs. Veer (Fardeen Khan) needs extra pocket money from his stepbrother, Dharam (Sanjay Dutt), who lives in London. He needs the money to support his rock band. Prem Chopra (Ajay Devgan), his best friend who is married to Jhanvi (Bipasha Basu), hits on an idea. He tells Veer to inform Dharam that he is married. Vidya (Mugdha Godse) is Veer's girlfriend. Everything moves on smoothly for this gang until they take a loan from Tobu (Johnny Lever) to enter a car race. They lose the race, and have to repay the Rs 5 lakh loan along with the Rs 5 lakh, which Tobu wagered on them winning the race. They decide to rent out Veer's bungalow. Just then, they get a call from Dharam who is in Goa for a couple of hours. He decides to drop in home.
