Rann Movie Review

Rann Movie Review

Rann could’ve been a good film if it was technically sound, if the script did not have gaping holes, if the characters were well etched, if plot was well researched and if, on the whole the story was not so idealistically predictable. Rating: 2.5/5
 
Ram Gopal Verma’s Rann is all about a good media baron, who is the pillar of journalistic values and integrity, fighting the bad ones who sensationalize news at the expense of truth to fill their own pockets. What happens in the end? Well, the good guy Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan), who has oft lost the TRP battle to his rival Amrish (Mohnish Behl), unearths the conspiracy between media and politics, delivers a smashing 8-minute soliloquy on integrity and social responsibility and voila! All’s well that ends well!
Like Madhur Bhandarkar, the only striking revelation Ram Gopal Verma makes through his film is – politics heavily influences media and misuses it and media people succumb to it because of their moral weakness. To throw in a bit of reality, they have peppered in a sting operation, and of course the RGV signature cinematography of dark and dingy frames, the lingering close-up shots and the haunting background score.
By the time all the characters are established you know exactly where the film is heading to, because every character is so flat and either black or white, that there is hardly anything left to expect out of the film.
Performances were good, Amitabh Bachchan deserves a pat on his back for pulling of the performance well, but it doesn’t seem any big deal for him to give performances like these. His character was so flat that he almost sleepwalks through it. We all know, at that age, with that experience and expertise, AB can definitely do much better in a well written role.
Rann could’ve been a good film if it was technically sound, if the script did not have gaping holes, if the characters were well etched, if plot was well researched and if, on the whole the story was not so idealistically predictable.
Can do better RGV! Keep trying!
Rating – 2.5/3
Ishqiya Movie Review

Ishqiya Movie Review

Smart, sassy, sexy and saucy – a suspenseful noir-thriller and a crisp comedy will leave you with a nice after-taste of having something exotic, raw, and familiar yet unconventionally delicious! Rating 4/5

Welcome to Chaubey’s Ishqiya – where the narrative twists and turns like a naagin, leaving you to wonder where it’s actually heading to, and where the characters are real, raw, impulsive, unabashedly honest about themselves and as unpredictable as the tale itself. A film that glides over genres of a suspenseful noir-thriller and a crisp comedy will leave you with a nice after-taste of having something exotic, raw, and familiar yet unconventionally delicious!
Ishqiya works at many levels and layers. Of what I could identify, the top most is of a love triangle between Krishna (Vidya Balan) and two small crooks Khalujaan (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Varsi). The second of the dramatic pole shifts in the moods of the characters that mould the story as per their impulses and the third layer is of sarcasm, colorful language, blasphemy, raw sexuality and symbolism! All the three layers visible to the eye and audible to ear are in sync – perfect harmony!
What makes Ishqiya memorable fare are dialogues and performances. Performances that breathe life into the characters – be it the cunning and scheming Vidya Balan who emotes anger, vengeance, love, lust and intelligence all through her eyes, yet not losing the innocence and vulnerability. And then the emotional, yet charmingly sweet Naseeruddin Shah, a hard core romantic at heart and a witty flirt, who can at one end impress Krishna with his musical inclinations and the other spew venom with his witty taunts. Arshad Varsi as Babban is the stark opposite, lusty, raw who lacks Khalu’s wisdom but impresses with his objectivity. People, who outsmart him, impress him. Check the admiration in his eyes when he interacts with the panch-kam-bees Nandu who outsmarts him. His street-smartness helps him score over sweet Khalu to win Krishna over to his side.
Dialogues are outstanding! There is no other way I can express how the dialogues enhance the silent chemistry in the love triangle or leave the audience in splits with their timing and wit. The dialogues also contribute to the verbal irony of the situation – ‘Sab se gehri dushmani miyan biwi ki hoti hai’ as the wise Khalu comments referring to Krishna’s motives! The dialogues form the crux of the film effectively supported by the old tunes of SD Burman and Hemant Kumar adding to the rustic appeal of the old-fashioned love of Khalujaan and the latest Bollywood tunes adding to the sexual aggression and lusty youth of Babban.
Abhishek Chaubey is a smart disciple of guru Vishal Bhardwaj, for a debut director, he is amazing! Vishal Bhardwaj’s music impresses along with his wife Rekha Bhardwaj’s mellifluous voice. The only average thing about this classic is the editing which seems clumsy at times and the climax seems a little obscure with respect to the plot development. But we are willing to forgive that for the awesome entertainment value the film has.
Overall, it’s a must watch film. I give it 4/5!
Shiv Sena brands Aamir and SRK as 2 Idiots

Shiv Sena brands Aamir and SRK as 2 Idiots


Both Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan have come under the ire of Political group Shiv Sena after they voiced their anger against the exclusion of Pakistani cricketers in IPL.
Branding them as 2 Idiots, a party spokesperson says in their tabloid Dopahar Ka Saamna, “In real life, Aamir and Shah Rukh have been proved as ‘2 Idiots’ as both are making stupid statements supporting the cause of Pakistani cricketers.”
“On the one hand, while SRK is openly displaying his love for Pakistani players, Aamir has even put nationalistic sentiments in his utterances on this issue.”
Shiv Sena’s comments are also accompanied by a photo from 3 Idiots where Madhavan face is replaced by SRK’s pouty face.
Earlier on SRK’s comments on wanting Pakistani players in IPL, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut had said, “he could go play his matches in Lahore, not in India”.
Folks who do you think is correct? Shiv Sena or Aamir-SRK?
SRK feels lonely inside

SRK feels lonely inside


The Superstar of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan has his own lonely moments and there are times when he gets paranoid on small issues like his socks.
SRK says, “I have a strange attachment to socks. They should feel right. I could be missing a flight, but if my socks are wrong, I have to take them off… I won’t wear nylon socks with sneakers. The only time I get disturbed during shooting is over my socks. I hate brown socks and different-coloured socks.”
SRK talks about his loneliness, he says, “I can come across as a user, manipulator, disinterested, weird, reclusive, strange, arrogant from the outside. But the people involved know the truth…there are days I feel lonely on the inside. I guess that’s the way I am. I’ve never gotten into relationships because I’m scared to. I have a shield. I’ve lost my parents, so now I don’t like to lose relationships. I have to admit that at 44 I am socially and emotionally inept.”
SRK will be next seen in Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan.
Aishwarya angry at Rann Premiere

Aishwarya angry at Rann Premiere


Aishwarya Rai looked stunning in a Sabyasachi black anarkali at Rann Premiere, however her happiness was shortlived when her ex-boyfriend Vivek Oberoi came in for the premiere.
As soon as Vivek made an entry, Aishwarya looked very angry, to avoid any bad moments the organziers shifted Vivek to another auditorium. When Vivek came out of the auditorium to go to loo, media asked him whether he was invited and he said, “The Movie is still on, Mr. Bachchan is fantastic.”
Aishwarya looked very displeased and was seen talking to Abhi loudly in a miffed voice saying, “Who is leading us upstairs, are you taking us?” and forced Abhi towards the auditorium by the hand.
Aishwarya’s displeasure continued after the flick, as she avoided talking with guests, that’s when Abhi held her by shoulders and said “Baby” and made her talk to director Ram Gopal Varma.
Ramu did not had any clue about Vivek’s presence at the movie.

No moon crater for SRK

No moon crater for SRK



Well this could be a sad news for all overwhelmed SRK fans, who were on moon when a crater on moon was named after their idol, because the UN Outer Space Treaty does not allow anybody to claim celestial lands because they belong to the whole mankind.
Tanja Masson-Zwaan talking about the recent trend of celebrity craters on moon says, “The trouble is that, legally, nobody can own the moon or anything else in space, for that matter.”
Talking about the Lunar Embassy – Hope that sells people craters and land spaces on Moon, Masson says, “What Lunar Embassy is doing does not give people buying pieces of paper the right to ownership of the moon.”
International Astronomical Union on its website says, “As an international scientific organization, the IAU dissociates itself entirely from the commercial practice of “selling” fictitious star names or “real estate” on other planets or moons in the Solar System. Accordingly, the IAU maintains no list of the (several competing) enterprises in this business in individual countries of the world.”
Now that’s a steep fall from moon. Welcome back to gravity!!!

All the Bollywood celebrities involved in the making of Phir Mile Sur talk about their wonderful experience and also about the original Mile Sur Mere Tumhara.
AMITABH BACHCHAN
I’m honoured that there’s been a gap of almost 23 years and still the makers of this wonderful commercial Mile Sur want to include me. Though circumstances may have changed, the words and the feelings of the song still remain the same. I feel good about it. Times of India has always been involved in many such nationalist, social, moral movements and I have had the great honour to being a part of it. I thank ZOOM for making me such a part once again.
SHAH RUKH KHAN
The first time I heard Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, I was around 20, yet the first thing that caught my eye was the visual appeal. It was more of a non preachy, personal patriotic song. It has a great secular feel and people are moved by it even now. I’m glad to be associated with this subtle yet powerful movement to be at secular equality with each other and stand united.
PRIYANKA CHOPRA
Mile Sur is as patriotic and moving as a song can get. It’s a brilliant initiative and I’m glad to be part of it. It was something I really admired and I used to look forward to watching it. I say we should sing it every morning when we wake up.
AISHWARYA BACHCHAN
I remember watching Mile Sur on TV and listening to the track. It was so inspirational. I was a kid in school and it was just overwhelming and impactful. It gave me gooseflesh; I remember it till this day.
ABHISHEK BACHCHAN
I used to look forward to it to see all these luminaries and celebrities of the country. Almost towards the end, Dad used to be on it and I would excitedly look forward. I remember growing up thinking how cool it’d be to be a part of it one day. Today, it’s even more wonderful, because I get to be part of Phir Mile Sur with my wife.
RANBIR KAPOOR
Mile Sur is like an anthem for every child who grew up watching DD. This song speaks about oneness; it’s been an important part of our country’s history, it’s feel-good, it’s emotional, it’s cathartic, and even after 20 years if you listen
to the song its will have same impact.
ANOUSHKA SHANKAR
Mile Sur is such an iconic piece of music. I’m 28 now and this is something I’ve grown up listening to and watching on TV. After seeing all those musical greats and then, specially being a part of this, as a musician, is such an incredible experience.
S H A N K A R – EHSAAN-LOY

We’re happy that Zoom and Times of India have taken this iconic song and redone it to suit today’s tastes, because no one can do it better than them.
SHAHID KAPUR
Mile Sur drew a sense of patriotism out of me; a sense of secularism and a reminder that we’re all the same. It was one of the more prestigious videos that came out; with the most eminent of personalities were in it.
SALMAN KHAN
It’s a brilliant concept that shows us how to get everybody on board and how to get everybody together. This song also underlines that we’re all on the same plane; that no one’s richer or poorer in emotion. No religion, caste, creed or colour is greater than the nation and the individuals of that nation. This song is like almost like a second anthem!
DEEPIKA PADUKONE
I remember Mile Sur being one of the first commercial message films my Dad shot for. When I got a call to be a part of the new version I was thrilled and called my parents, who were like ‘You MUST be part of it!’ I think it’s a great unifying thought for our diverse country.

I am so happy that through the opportunity given to me by my fans, audience and the media platforms that I work with… So thanks to all those who suggested my name and to everyone who has made films with me.

Veer Movie Review

Veer Movie Review

Veer could be called a magnanimous, gigantic, collossal bore!  Rating 2.5/5







The story of Veer is set in the year 1857, where Veer(Salman Khan) plays a Pindari warrior who not only aims to win back his tribes lost glory but also their homeland from the claws of the evil king of Madhavgardh played by Jackie Shroff. In the process, Veer falls in love with beautiful Yashodhara who happens to be the deceitful kings daughter. Veer wins it all – glory and land of his tribe, avenges the death of his tribesmen from the evil king, mows down an entire battalion of the British army, wins the hand of Princess, and emerges successful in lighting the fire of patriotism and revolution in the people of Madhavgardh, the Pindaris and hence the Indians.
Salman Khan has been credited for the story of the film Veer. Unfortunately, Salman’s story has a lot of loopholes, poor characterization, and disappointing treatment above all. The good thing about the story is that it bought to attention the legend of the Pindari Warriors who were wiped off in a campaign led by General Hastings. The sad thing about the story is that justice was not done to a good theme.
Now, leaving all the critical and technical aspects, for the average cinegoer – Veer has very little to offer. Salman as Veer has put in a lot of effort to get the look and feel of the character right. Full marks to him. Although sometimes the Gladiator-cum-Achilles warrior-look and costumes looked rather odd in the Indian context. Sohail Khan is reduced to mere loony side kick who annoys more than anything else.  Zarine Khan looks pretty but plastic, I dont see why they chose her over Katrina when she can’t even speak her own dialogues in the film. Much hyped- Lisa Lazarus of UK, is also a forgettable face in the firang crowd of the film.
Some dialogues were too over-the-top, the regular jingoistic fare of Anil Sharma movies (Gadar, Here etc.), but public cheered to it in the cinema hall… surprisingly. Some action sequences also won applause like when Salman breaks a sword with one hand as if it was a cookie!  On the love story remains another obscure domain of the film – visible but unclear!
So… Even if you consider this as a ‘epic love story of a warrior’ and not a ‘historical docu-drama’, I’d still say ‘Disappointing’. (Wish there was somebody to pay me to say this :P )
My Verdict:  Strictly for Salman Khan fans! Others can avoid!

Salman Khan is not taking the bad reviews of Veer by critics with a pinch of salt, instead he claims that the critics have been paid to write negatively about his magnum opus Veer.
Salman wrote on a social networking site, “I tell you critics are paid and they can’t be a better judge than audience. So, please go and watch it. I boycott critics and request you not to go by the reviews and they are just good for nothing. I promise- Veer won’t disappoint you.”

Team owners refrained from selecting Pakistani cricketers for the upcoming season of Indian Premiere League(IPL) while this was not taken well by the media of both the nations, Shilpa Shetty believes that the team owners don’t owe an explanation to Pakistani cricketers.

She says, “We don’t owe an explanation on our decision on Pakistani players. The reasons for dropping are understandable in the current scenario. We would like the media and the people to react to such situations more sensibly.”

“We wanted the players to be in the country and at that point of time we were more worried about security. We did not want to take onus for their security.”

Kings XI Punjab team owner Preity Zinta referring brouhaha about dropping Pakistani cricketers said, “They have just sensationalized the issue. We request the country to collectively handle the situation sensibly.”

Do you think dropping Pakistani players from IPL is a good idea or a bad idea?

Salman: No, not awkward. Maybe for him, not for me.
Koel: SRK says you are two parallel people running at different speeds (that’s why the two will never meet). Do you buy into that?
Salman: No. We’re two different people, running in two different directions altogether.
Public: When can I expect another film pairing Ash and you, like the hit Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam?

Otherwise, meri acting hi mera gehna hai… Ha! ha!”
Talking about the two accessories SRK says, “The watch is gifted to my character Rizwan Khan by his very old teacher who had got it from his father. Therefore it needed to be of 1920s at least. The watch brand I endorse had their old pieces from those years in their museum and kindly agreed to give it to us.It’s one thing that is so sacred to him and kind of depicts his love, marriage and relationships.”
Looking forward to My Name is Khan.

When Salman attended a dance reality show to promote his movie Veer, he said to Mithun Charaborty, : “Dada, the press guys are hell-bent on making me accept that Zarine (’Veer’) looks like Katrina and I’m tired of telling them she is not even close to her.”
“Nobody knows Katrina better than me and I’m telling you guys, Zarine does not look like Katrina.”
So folks do you agree with Salman or do you think Katrina and Zarine look similar?
Sonam: I never said Aishwarya is an aunty

Sonam: I never said Aishwarya is an aunty



Last year a brouhaha was created when Sonam Kapoor called Aishwarya Rai an aunty after L’Oreal did not allow her to attend the Cannes festival with other L’Oreal beauties. However Sonam denies mouthing anything bad against Aishwarya.
Sonam says, “It’s all hearsay – I never said any of that. I don’t want to comment on it anymore. A lot has been written and said and it’s all become very messy and dirty, and I don’t want to get into it anymore. I really respect Abhishek as a person and had one of my best experiences working in Delhi 6. Aishwarya Rai is Aishwarya Rai – I never said that. I would address her in a respectful manner, but I’d never call her aunty.”
Sonam is currently filming for Aisha with Abhay Deol.
Shahid-Anushka kiss MMS clip

Shahid-Anushka kiss MMS clip



Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma who are starring together in Yash Raj’s next untitled flick have kissing scenes in the movie.
A source says, “It was her first kiss on screen, so Anushka was extremely uncomfortable. Parmeet had a word with her and reassured her. He explained to her in detail how the scene would be shot and how it was important to the story. Once the camera was rolling, Anushka left her inhibitions behind and delivered a smashing scene.”
However the situation got out of hand when someone from the set captured the smooching scene between Shahid and Anushka on their phone.
The source adds, “Someone from the set captured the shot in his cell and leaked it out. When Anushka found out she was quite furious. She immediately asked for the cell phones of everyone present on the sets to be checked and the clip to be deleted.”
Ufff Kiss Ka kissa!!!
