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.

All The Best:Fun Begins


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.

Aladin


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.

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.

Tum Mile


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.

Aitraaz



The Indian moviegoer has often witnessed man-sexually-molesting-woman situations on the big screen. In this particular movie a woman is accusing man of molesting her.

The movie Aitraaz tackles the issue of sexual harassment, with the unique spin of placing the man in the position of victim and the woman as aggressor. The film casts Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles.

In the accused box of the courtroom, stands a man, startled and shocked that destiny could lead him there. He is accused of the most heinous crime - molesting his lady-boss. Raj Malhotra (played by Akshay Kumar), who works for a cell phone company, is popular amongst his circle of friends and work colleagues. But his world comes crashing down when he meets Sonia (Priyanka Chopra) again.

Sonia is an ambitious model with great aspirations. She knows what she wants in life. She is prepared to achieve her goals, whatever the price. Her fundas in life are crystal clear: Nothing shall come in between her wants and desires. Raj is well aware that Sonia knew only one way to live and that was her way. And one fateful evening, things did not go her way. Sonia brings Raj's world to a screeching halt. Raj's wife Priya (Kareena Kapoor), once a lawyer herself, is prepared to do anything to protect her husband's honour and dignity.

And from a content housewife, Priya becomes a woman with a mission that she must accomplish. She is now Raj's partner in more ways than one. Thrown into this web of deceit is Raj's boss, Ranjit Roy (Amrish Puri), who happens to be Sonia's husband. He is a mere pawn in her hands. The drama has just begun. The court is far from adjourned… Inspired by Barry Levinson's Hollywood flick Disclosure, Aitraaz has a plot that Indian cinegoers haven't witnessed on the screen yet.

Aitraaz belongs to Priyanka Chopra completely. No two opinions on that! Be it her first appearance or the sequence, Priyanka did full justice to her character in the film.

Kareena has a sugar-and-sweet character till the pre-climax and she does it well. Akshay Kumar underplays his character ably. Amrish Puri is alright. The theme of the movie is extremely provocative. Himesh Reshammiya's music sounds pleasant to the ears. Cinematography is first-rate. On the whole, Aitraaz is a well-crafted thriller.....

My Name Is Khan



My Name Is Khan is an upcoming 2010 Indian drama based upon a true story. It is directed by Karan Johar, co-produced by Johar and Shahrukh Khan, has a screenplay by Shibani Bathija, and stars Khan and Kajol. The other actors and actresses who had performed in the film include Jimmy Shergill, Bilal Khan and others. Shahrukh Khan had done a splendid job once again.

Cinematography is by Ravi K. Chandran. Khan is a Muslim who as a child (Tanay Chheda) grew up with his mother (Zarina Wahab) in the the Borivali section of Mumbai in India. As an adult, Khan (Shahrukh Khan) falls in love and marries Mandira (Kajol). Khan suffers from Asperger syndrome which impacts social interaction abilities.

Khan is arrested as a suspected terrorist in post - 9/11 Los Angeles after authorities mistake his disability for "suspicious" behavior. After his arrest, he meets Radha (Sheetal Menon), a therapist who helps him.

The music is given by Shankar –Ehsaan –Loy and the music is impressive just like any other films of Karan Johar. The performance of the character artists in the film is very impressive. Although Shabana Azmi left the role of the mother of Shahrukh Khan after being cast initially, Zarina Wahab did do well in the film.

In a nutshell it can be said that the film is going to be a big hit inspite of the negative factors.

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.

Videsh-It's a kitchen-sink drama


Heaven on Earth isn’t exactly the plight of protagonist in this film, rather completely contrary to it. The alternate Hindi title Videsh too misleads into the notion that Indian woman in NRI families are essentially victims of domestic violence, as is the theme of the film. It’s as difficult to relate the title with the treatment of this film.

It's difficult to describe just how good Preity Zinta is in her role as a battered young bride in director Deepa Mehta's Videsh. Preity Zinta playing Chand, a Punjabi girl who travels from her home in India to Canada for an arranged marriage. She marries Rocky (played by Vansh Bhardwaj) has little affection or sympathy for his new bride.

Homesick in foreign land and hopeless of affection from people around, Chand begins to fantasize another version of her life inspired from tales of Indian mythology about a King Cobra.

Deepa Mehta scores in establishing credible characters of the Canadian Punjabi family with members that are neither sugar-sweet nor melodramatically bitter. Everyone in the film are open witness to domestic violence and remain absolutely indifferent towards the act.

The film clearly loses its audience when metaphorical mythological concerns overpower the underlying theme of domestic violence. Rather the flick imparts shades of gray to the supposedly black victimizer. Preity Zinta delivered a career-best performance as Chand.

The pacing is lethargic and the story takes too long to kick-start. Cinematographer Giles Nuttgens intermittently applies black-and-white frames to highlight some scenes from others but follows no particular theme, making the exercise futile.

Preity Zinta delivered a career-best performance as Chand. Vansh Bharadwaj suffers from shallow characterization. Balinder Johal as the insecure mother and cold-blooded mother-in-law is efficient.

Heaven on Earth, a kitchen-sink drama turns into a hell of a viewing experience.

Gulaal

Gulaal is about a simple man’s anger and outburst against the corrupt, rusted system have been seen and forgotten by the dozen, and Anurag Kashyap’s Gulaal turns out to be just a statistical addition to the list.

The movie is a telling statement on the degeneration in the political structure both at the micro level of student politics and the macro level of power-hungry, who stop at nothing to realize their political ambitions. The movie casts Kay Kay Menon, Raj Singh Chaudhary, Mahi Gill, Jesse Randhawa, Aditya Shrivastava, Piyush Mishra, Mukesh Bhatt, Abhimanyu Shekhar Singh, Pankaj Jha, Deepak Dobriyal and Ayesha Mohan.

The film 'Gulaal' is all about love, rage, power and politics. It unfolds the story of an innocent college student Dilip (Raj Singh Chaudhary), who is pushed into politics.

Gulaal’ is essentially a character driven story that seems to get too verbose at places. The dialogues are expectedly sprinkled with expletives because the director wanted them to sound ‘real’. The cinematography by Rajeev Ravi is superb. Music and lyrics by Piyush Mishra are fascinating.

If there’s anything truly worth watching in ‘Gulaal’ it’s the performances by the ensemble of talented actors from Kay Kay Menon as the devious Dukey Bana to Deepak Dobriyal as his assistant or Mahi Gill as his mistress.

Newcomer Raj Singh Chaudhary has an unassuming persona and very well portrays the inner transformation of his character. Ayesha Mohan and Aditya Shrivastava as the brother sister duo are terrific in their individual performances.

All said, ‘Gulaal’ is a seething, simmering, but tortuously predictable tale of all that’s rotten in the system. The director has pooled all his anger and cynicism against the system and revealed it on the screen to be smacked at the faces of hapless viewers in the form of ‘Gulaal’.

Frankly, with Gulaal, Anurag Kashyap has once again proved himself; his versatile, prolific and ardent direction is utterly commendable.
