All The Best:Fun Begins

Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu and Mugdha Godse starrer Bollywood film All The Best: Fun Begins is directed by Rohit Shetty who directed comedy flicks Golmaal and Golmaal Returns.




The jokes in the flick may appear silly, but who cares. As long as there's a smile on the face even after the show has ended, nothing else matters. All The Best:Fun Begins is one of those films which is made with the motive to keep the audiences entertained.

Fardeen Khan has played the role of Veer who is a singer by profession, and brother to Sanjay Dutt, who plays Dharam, a business-honcho. Like his previous films, Rohit Shetty's story is based on multiple characters.

But even with so many characters, the film tends to be free from complications. All The Best:Fun Begins is all about mistaken identities. Alongwith Rohit Shetty, Robin and Yunus have put in lot of effort to make the script watchable. Also Pritam's musical score is uninspiring and the songs act as speed breakers.

Sanjay Dutt plays his part well. The show-stopper is undoubtedly Ajay Devgan, whose comic timing is only getting better. Fardeen Khan has made a sincere attempt. Bipasha Basu is sweet, while Mugdha is just okay. Johny Lever and Sanjay Mishra are seen in terrific form. Mukesh Tiwari, Vijay Patkar, Ashwini Kalsekar and Atul Parchure lend credible report.

On the whole, All The Best:Fun Begins has unlimited laughter doze.

Aladin

Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez and Saahil Khan starrer upcoming flick Aladin is directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Bollywood's megastar Amitabh Bachchan plays a genie in the film.




Visual effects in the film arrest your attention very well and are well executed. Sabu Cyril's art is said to be commendable. The music given by Vishal and Shekhar is fabulous.

Ritesh Deshmukh shines in his solo-hero role. Sanjay Dutt will be seen enjoying thoroughly such a role after a long-long time. Debutante Jacqueline Fernandez is an actual stunner, but can do much better. The film might still be worth a watch for a few amusing moments.

Wanted overpowers DBH

Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia starrer film Wanted was promoted across all mediums and had so much of hype surrounding its release that an outstanding opening was predictable.



Salman Khan who looked fresh and danced amazingly like never before, shot action sequences and fast paced narrative did not disappoint the audiences like most big banner films in the recent past did.

Much against popular trade belief that Wanted is only a single-screen film, the film did decent business at most multiplexes as well with the audiences in. While most films show a slump in the business Monday onwards, it was exactly the opposite in case of Wanted.

Mohandas

After showing his creative work in superhit films like Satya, Jhankar Beats and Masti, cinematographer Mazhar Kamran has now came up with his directorial debut titled Mohan Das which got released on September 4. With the film Mazhar Kamran makes a sincere attempt to narrate this unconventional story well.




The film is made on a small scale with talented actors like Sonali Kulkarni, Nakul Vaid, Sushant Singh, Sharbani Mukherjee, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Uttam Haldar, Aditya Shrivastav, Akhilendra Mishra and Govind Namdeo. The film is produced by Abha Sonakia.

The plot of the flick revolves around a man who is lost in his own country. The problems faced by a common man are dealt with open satire in the film. The
muisc of the movie is given by Vivek Priyadarshan.

Nakul Vaid plays his part very well and has proved his worth. Sushant Singh doesn't get scope, but nonetheless leaves an impact. Sharbani Mukerjee has transformed herself well for this part. Sonali Kulkarni gets a right role. Aditya Srivastava is competent. Govind Namdeo is first-rate. Sameer Dharmadhikari just okay. Uttam Haldar is proficient.

On the whole, Mohandas is a well-intentioned, well-made film, but it will have a tough time standing on its feet due to lack of face-value and also multiple releases. Still, you must see the film....

Love Khichdi-A one time watch

Directed by Srinivas Bhashvam, Love Khichdi's storyline is based on seven different girls and one man. What does make "Love Khichdi" interesting at junctures is the entire 'talking to the camera' narrative that the director applies. The film projects at what a man and a woman would think about the same situation.




The film though eventually boils down to be the show reel for the lead couple Randeep and Sadaa. Sadaa gets maximum footage and does complete justice to her part in her debut Bollywood film. She is beautiful, confident and her experience in films down south shows. On the whole, Love Khichdi may not be the perfect health diet but is decent enough to be a one time watch. Too many parallel tracks spoil the script. The main characters of the film are Randeep Hooda, Sonali Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta, Divya Dutta, Riya Sen, Kalpana Pandit.

Tum Mile

Kunal Deshmukh directional Tum Mile casts Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan and the film is based on 26th July 2005 Mumbai floods that was a threatening day for almost all.




The story shifts perspective between the past and the present- a glorious but crazy past of 2 entirely different people who separate in love-the differences after they very excited in the beginning.

Producer Mukesh Bhatt doesn’t have much to worry though. The entire film has already been completed in a specially designed set that recreates the Mumbai flood scene. This movie plot looks as if written exclusively for Emran Hashmi. The film has music by Pritam and expected to arrive on 13th November, 2009.

Daddy Coool

Sunil Shetty, Aarti Chhabria, Aashish Chaudhary, Tulip Joshi, Aaftab Shivdasani, Javed Jaffrey, Kim Sharma, Sophie Choudry, Rajpal Yadav, Chunky Pandey, Suhasini Mulay, Vijay Patkar, Prem Chopra, Vrajesh Hirjee and Sharat Saxena starrer film Daddy Cool is directed by K. Muralimohana Rao and produced by Ashok Thakeria and Indra Kumar and the film will be released on August 28, 2009.




The plot of the film tells that Suniel Shetty plays the role of an aspiring writer who tries to give his father a decent funeral. Having flown in first class younger brother Brian (Ashish Chowdhry), successful and much admired writer from Mumbai, not ready to share responsibility for his mother, saying "He barely has money to support himself and his dogs."

Agent Pinto (Vijay Patkar) tries to close a house deal for Nancy (Aarti Chabria) Steven's wife who is trying to get away from her mother-in-law Mrs. Lazarus (Suhasini Mulay) , who though just bereaved, lives up to her title admirably.

A doddering old Uncle Murphy which is played by Prem Chopra is in a wheelchair and believes in practicing young to get the girls. Overall it is a comedy movie and lets see whether the film can set a cool chemistry with its audiences....

Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge was released in the year 1995. The film was directed by Aditya Chopra. The film won ten Filmfare awards and is surely a consummate crowd pleaser. The film starred Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, and Amrish Puri. The film became the biggest Bollywood hit. The music of the film was given by Jatin and Lalit.




Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is based on the characters Raj and Simran, played by Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Simran meets Raj on a trip to European countries. After some initial stage, they fall in love. Aditya Chopra in DDLJ portrays the hectic hustle and bustle of a traditional Indian household. Songs like "Ruk Jaa O Dil Deewane" and "Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main" are real masterpieces, while "Mehndi Lagaa Ke Rakhna," will just take away your breathes with fantastic choreography.

The film's genuine wit of dialogue, the briskness of its plot, the charm of it's actors all are just great. On the whole the verdict holds that DDLJ is a great film that can be watched many times. It's a super-duper entertainer !!!

Agyaat -Film by Ram Gopal Verma

Agyaat is an upcoming Bollywood horror film by Ram Gopal Varma starring Nitin Kumar Reddy, Gautam Rode, and Priyanka Kothari, Ravi Kale, Ishrat Ali, Harvey Rosemeyer, Kali Prasad Mukherjee, Rasika Duggal, Joy Fernandes and Ishteyak.



A film unit goes to a jungle for a shoot and gets misplaced. The members of the crew begin to get killed one after the other leaving the rest on the run for their life.

Adding to their fright is that they don't even know what is behind the kills, whether it is a man or an animal or something else. The film is expected to be released on August 7, 2009.

Guide-1965 Film

The musical, full of drama and romance filled 1965 released movie Guide is considered as one of the masterpieces of the Indian film industry and the film was made by the famous bollywood director Vijay Anand, younger brother of epitome of the suave, urban gentleman Dev Anand.

The film is based on the critically acclaimed novel, The Guide, by R. K. Narayan. The film proved to be a box office hit upon release. This movie proved memorable for its award-winning performances by the lead actors and memorable music by S. D. Burman.




The film was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, 42 years after its release. Guide is remarkable for the manner in which it depicts the relationship between Raju and Rosie, a relationship which has no place in respectable society of that time.

A live-in relationship is not something that filmmakers want to touch even today. The film also showcases the throbbing chemistry between Rosie and the Guide.





Their growing proximity and intimacy is brought out beautifully by the director. This is probably the first film where Dev Anand has shrugged off his nonchalant air and acted like a man driven by passion and compassion.

Dev Anand's Raju is a very real character, very human. Waheeda Rehman is equally bewitching in her portrayal of Rosie, a woman who breaks away from the stifling prison of her marriage with the help of her lover and carves a career out for herself. It was a daring role but also one which had tremendous scope for performance and Waheeda made the best use of it.

Waheeda's dance to Lata Mangeshkar's 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai,' is memorable even today because of her presence, Lata's voice, SD Burman's music and the superb way in which the song is conceived and shot. Waheeda's performance too won her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for Guide.

The music for this film was composed by Sachin Dev Burman and the songs were sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar and Sachin Dev Burman. The film is remarkable and memorable even today for so many reasons, beginning with its unconventional theme, its music and its actors.

London Dreams-A Musical film

London Dreams is an upcoming Bollywood musical film directed by Vipul Shah. Starring veteran actors Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in lead roles. The film also cast Asin Thottumkal, Rannvijay Singh, Brinda Parekh and Om Puri.

It is the second time when Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan will be seen in a single movie. The first one was superhit Hum Dil Dey Chuke Sanam. Tamil Cinema actress Asin is doing the lead role, replacing Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif.

It is the story of dreams of two childhood friends and reveals the life of a rock star. How they become rock musicians in a rock band named “London
Dreams” in London is the story all about.

The film is supposed to get released in August 2009.

Anubhav-Not a pleasant experience to undergo

The story goes like this, Anubhav (Sanjay Suri), Antara (Shruthi Seth) and Aadi (Anoop Menon) are products of the Bombay theatre academy who nurture big Bollywood dreams. But reality soon dawns upon them that those dreams are not to easy to fulfill.

Anubhav during his struggling mission encounters Meera (Gul Panag) who excitedly declares that she is his fan. Both fall in love with each other and get married much to Meera’s rich parents’ wishes.

The theatre guru Ibrahim Vakil (Jackie Shroff) now becomes their sole patron. The film starring Anubhav in the main lead gets stuck midway owing to an untimely demise of their producer.

The basic premise of the film is really interesting since its topical and such things do happen in present times in Bollywood. But once the situations are established and Anubhav turns a male prostitute, the film losses its way.

You also stop caring much about the characters and simply can’t relate to them. Then there is this melodramatic angle forcibly thrown in about Anubhav’s new born daughter’s illness and how Gul Panag thinking their daughter is dead. Some of the dialogues narrated by Sanjay Suri are simply cringe worthy. Agreed the film may be inspired from real life sequences but why be so direct? Was it that important.

Aadesh Srivastava’s music is plain ordinary. Amongst the actors only Gul Panag delivers while Sanjay Suri with his limited set of expressions just doesn’t. Jackie Shroff is simply wasted whereas Shruti Seth, Raj Zutshi and Sudha Chandran hardly have meat in their roles. Anoop Menon is fair.

Having suffered this Anubhav we would like to tell you that it is not really a pleasant experience to under go. Think before you watch the film.

Dev D

Dev D is one such flight of fancy from the filmmaker that definitely defies all conventions and demolishes all moulds. The director of the film Anurag Kashyap has always been a contrarian filmmaker, consciously steering away from traditional Bollywood with films like Black Friday, Paanch, No Smoking.

Dev D is like that heady cocktail which has the vodka pitched perfectly with the tang. Set against the rich rural backdrop of Punjab and Paharganj (Delhi), the film traces the self-destructive sojourn of a young, contemporary hero who mirrors the existential angst of the proverbial outsider, made legendary in the writings of Satre, Camus, Kafka, Kerouac and the ballads of Kurt Cobain.

But Dev D (Abhay Deol), unlike Devdas, isn't a blast from the past. Dev D is indeed a coming-of-age film, not merely for the protagonist, Devender Singh Dhillon, but it is a brilliant breakthrough for Bollywood too.

It really doesn't matter whether the film ends up as a box office scorcher. What matters is the fact that for the discerning viewer. Anurag Kashyap, however, gets even more adventurous and adds a progressive flourish to both the plot and the characters which are played to perfection by the three lead players.

If Mahi and Kalki are riveting new finds, assured of a long innings in cinema, then Abhay Deol adds a whole new meaning to the term `Unconventional Hero'. Dev D is the class act from the Deol who cleverly flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Dev D is purely a musical love story, with zany numbers like ‘emosanal atyachar', ‘saali khushi', ‘nayan tarse' and many more.
