download songs of 'dostana', 'heroes', 'fashion' etc

2008-10-08T11:10:00.000-07:00

All of a sudden too many movies have had their music release and I was not able to track it. Finally I have had the time to do so. So, here's a whole lot of bollywood track; treat it as a Dussehra special.

Dostana - This is a Karan Johar movie and the title is copied from their previous home production by the same name. I am not sure if the movie's story is also copied or not. I listened to all the songs and felt that Vishal-Shekhar have done a pretty good job. Download and enjoy it.

Heroes - This is a multi-starrer movie which has who's who of Bollywood. There are quite a few foot-tapping numbers, worth a listen.

Roadside Romeo - This is an animation movie from Yashraj camp. Its directed by Jugal Hansraj, the cute boy from Masoom. The voice-over in the movie has been done by Saif, Kareena and Javed Jaffrey.

Golmaal Returns - This is a sequel of the successful Golmaal which had released in 2006. The only thing missing in the starcast is Sharman Joshi, while a host of actresses have been roped in. There is Kareena, Bipasha etc; hope they will add value to the movie.

Fashion - Madhur Bhandarkar is back with another 'hyped' reality cinema based on fashion industry. Even without watching the movie I can tell that its going to have a gay photographer who will harass younger boys and ask for sexual favors, business tycoons sleeping around with models who work as high-society call girls and a wardrobe malfunction.

EMI - This movie sounds interesting especially in these times of financial crunch. Hope the movie lives upto the title, and that Sanjay Dutt gives a good performance.

Drona - India's very own indigenous superhero is here, in the form of Abhishek Bachchan. He plays the grown-up version of Harry Potter, trapped in his aunt's house and Priyanka Chopra appears from no where to resuce him and she makes him aware of his special powers, much like Hagrid. I did hear a couple of songs and they were just about ok.

Till my next installment, download these tracks and enjoy the festive occasion.

He knows what's gonna click and he does just that; use catchy words like 'Tandoor Nights' and 'Hari Om' in the songs. Go ahead, download and enjoy the foot-tapping music.

1920 - A period drama directed by Vikram Bhat

Chamku - Home production of the Deols which has Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra in the lead

C-Kkompany - The weird naming convention suggests that the movie is produced by Ekta Kapoor and has Tusshar Kapoor in the lead. Another fiasco from their production house, I am sure

Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam - The movie released on 22nd Aug but the audience gave it a cold response

Download and enjoy the songs.

I bring to you the soundtrack of Ranbeer Kapoor's second movie Bachna Ae Haseeno. In this Yashraj movie, he will be seen romancing Bipashu Basu, Minnisha Lamba and his girlfriend Deepika Padukone. The music of this movie is fun, especially the title track which has been re-sung by Kishore Kumar's younger son, Sumit Kumar. He has a great voice and a good potential.

Download and enjoy the songs: Bachna Ae Haseeno

Click here to read about upcoming releases of Yashraj Films

The music of Salman Khan's new movie called God Tussi Great Ho was also released last week. I have not listened to the soundtrack, but I can give you a few clues about the movie. Its a remake of Bruce Almighty, where Salman Khan is playing Jim Carey's part and God has been played by Amitabh Bachchan.

Enjoy the music: God Tussi Great Ho

Finally, Farhan Akhtar is back after a long break. But this time he is not directing a movie, he is acting in one. Its a movie called Rock On that's produced by him and the story idea is his too, but he is acting in it. Not many people know, but Farhan is a brilliant dancer. So, here we will get to see his dancing skills as well. Going by his track record, I am sure the music of this movie will be good.

So, go ahead and download it: Rock On

Pritam is back after quite a long gap and he brings to us, the music of 'Singh Is King'. The title song is catchy but it sounds a lot like one of his previous songs Hare Krishna Hare Ram from 'Bhool Bhulaiya'. Anyways, after a long time we get to hear Daler Mahendi too.

The album sounds fun and enjoyable. So, click here to download the tracks: Singh Is King

chit-chat ... Aamir Khan & his nephew Imran Khan

2008-07-04T13:26:00.000-07:00

Some excerpts from Aamir and Imran's interview:

Rajeev Masand: As someone who has seen Imran grow up in front of your eyes, what sort of a child was he – mischievous, quiet or all into one?

Aamir Khan: He was a very gentle kid. Very nice and easy to bully. Most of the time I would be like ‘Imran paani lao’ or ‘there is a book lying there, get it for me’.

Rajeev Masand: You also apparently used him to get introduced to a couple of girls.

Aamir Khan: Yes, all the time. In fact I was about 20 or 21 when he was three or four. So I would take him around for walks in Pali Hill and the all the girls would come to see him and talk to me. In fact I still do that.

Rajeev Masand: Not many people know that this is not the first time that Imran is facing the camera. He played little Aamir in both Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar. Imran you have any memories from those shoots?

Imran Khan: Yes, I do from Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar. I remember having a lot of fun. I do remember that Aamir used to do my makeup.

Aamir Khan: He was a good kid on the sets. He would even take his pants down when instructed (laughs out loud).

Imran Khan: You know they didn’t tell me about that before the shoot. It was a complete surprise for me. Mansoor said you know how to ride a cycle and I said yes. Then he asked you know how to do it standing and I said, of course. So I stand and start cycling and suddenly I feel cold air on my rear.

Rajeev Masand: We have a little game for you. We will ask Aamir five questions about Imran and vice versa. So that we can find out how well you both know each other. Of course the game is called Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa.

Questions for Imran:

Question 1: Name two films in which Aamir played himself.

Imran Khan: Damini and…I can’t remember the other one.

Aamir Khan: It was in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s first film called Pehla Nasha. There was a scene in which there was Shah Rukh, Saif, me and another actor.

Question 2: Name the actress Aamir has done maximum films with. How many and also name the film.

Imran Khan: It’s got to be Juhi Chawla. And the films are Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Love Love Love, Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke, Ishq, Tum Mere Ho…there are couple of your films that I haven’t seen like Aatanq Hi Aatanq…

Aamir Khan: There were two more, Aatanq Hi Aatanq and Daulat Ki Jung.

Question 3: Name the director apart from Mansoor Khan that Aamir has done maximum films with.

Imran Khan: Indra Kumar and the films were Dil, Ishq and Mann.

Question 4: How many runs did Aamir’s character Bhuvan make in Lagaan?

Imran Khan: (After a long silence) It was over a 100, I remember that. I think it was 125.

Aamir Khan: It was 144 not out.

Question 5: In QSQT, Raj, Aamir’s character, crashes a party to see Rashmi (Juhi) pretending to be someone else. Who does he pretend to be?

Imran Khan: Roop Singh.

Imran’s score: 2.5 out of 5

Questions for Aamir:

Question 1: How many schools has Imran attended in all? And name them too.

Aamir Khan: He has flunked so many times that it is difficult to remember now. Toddlers Academy, I used to go and pick him up so I know this one. Then Bombay Scottish, Valley School, Gede…then he gave his 10 standard…hey weren’t you in a Coonoor school as well? Okay, I guess that is the best I could do.

Imran Khan: He missed two – Holy Innocence in Wellington and Blue Mountain.

Aamir Khan: I at least remembered four out of six…and all the weirdest of schools. Has anyone heard of Gede?

Imran Khan: There is one more actually in the US.

Aamir Khan: Ye loh! Khudh hi bhool gaya (There! He has forgotten himself).

Question 2: Who is Imran’s favourite contemporary actress?

Aamir Khan: You know I am doing this role in Gajini where I have a short term memory loss problem….(laughs) So I think am getting a bit too much into the character. I wouldn’t know…let me take a guess, Juhi?

Imran Khan: But she isn't working any more.

Aamir Khan: Okay! Now I want to hear him say that Juhi is not his favourite (laughs).

Imran Khan: Kareena.

Question 3: What gift did you give Imran on his 12th birthday?

Imran Khan: Here's a hint – it was something that you had and I wanted.

Aamir Khan: My Swiss pen knife.

Question 4: Imran made a graduation film at the New York Film Academy. Name the film.

Aamir Khan: It had something to do with Dracula... I don't know, I have no idea. Or maybe Malegaon Ke Superman (laughs).

Imran Khan: It is called The Landlady.

Question 5: Imran has precisely one tattoo on his body. Where and what is it?

Aamir Khan: It is on the back of his neck and it is a circular thing with stuff coming out of it.

Rajeev Masand: Imran, tell us a little about your first day of shooting Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa.

Imran Khan: Of course I do. But the first scene that I shot was finally cut from the film.

Rajeev Masand: Aamir, did you have any tips or words of advise as an actor for him before he set out for his first day?

Aamir Khan: Ya, I told him watch out for your twitching left eyebrow. No, I didn't really give him any advise. I thought he should figure out for himself what and how he should do. And that is how it should be.

This week saw the launch of two more audio tracks. One of them is the much awaited movie Kismat Konnection starring Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan. The starcast is fresh and goes well with the story idea of older woman and younger man. It's been directed by Aziz Mirza, who is quite deft at handling romantic topics.

chit-chat ... Saif Ali Khan

2008-06-23T00:42:00.000-07:00

Some excerpts from Saif's interview:

Rajeev Masand: A year ago, everyone was talking about Saif the actor. Your performances in Omkara, Being Cyrus and Parineeta and how you had come into your own as an actor. A year later, everyone is talking about Saif the stud, Saif the boyfriend who wears his heart on sleeve, Saif and Kareena – are you embarrassed by that?

Saif Ali Khan: Frankly, yes, sometimes. Depends on what’ said. I am okay with certain things while others sound silly. It’s beyond my control. People write articles in newspapers and it almost feels we are responsible for those articles. I am fed up of hearing about us. Imagine, what people would be. I just want to say: I did not write it.

Rajeev Masand: Did you feel cheated when you saw Tashan?

Saif Ali Khan: Yes and no. Quite frankly, it wasn’t what I read. It was a beautiful script. We all signed up for something that was to be retro-meets-futuristic movie. It was very funky – Tashan on paper. But sometimes, it all goes a little wrong. I think we all signed on for a movie and I stand by that. Unfortunately, it did not work and I stand by that as well and not be a rat deserting a sinking ship and say, “I felt cheated”. My role was edited quite severely which I did speak with my producer about. He explained it was for the betterment of the narrative – which I agree with. Still, what l originally read was quite a bit different.

Rajeev Masand: Speaking for your fans, they were surprised. It seemed like an inconsequential part in a ridiculous film.

Saif Ali Khan: It was not intended that way but it ended up that way. I don’t think anyone really wanted that. I am sure things like these happen and no one goes out of their way to victimize anyone. One should be mature enough to understand that and move on to other things.

Rajeev Masand: Is it true you are sticking to safe choices these days? Whether it’s the safety of big banners like Yash Raj films or the safety of a no-brainer Abbas-Mastan thriller. Has Saif lost his edge?

Saif Ali Khan: That’s a good question. And the answer is yes and no. Abbas Mastan was not a safe choice. It was a choice I made because I got a bit bored in my cocoon doing all multiplex kind of movies and somewhere being told that I was multiplex hero. I wanted to do a film that would open across the board in the country, I wanted to do a film with raunchy music, I wanted to do something you could perform on stage – I wanted a smart, sexy thriller. I wanted to work with an adult director, directing crime, infidelity, money and robbery as opposed to chic-flick love scenes in cafes. It was driving me mad. So along came Race. I thought it was a great script and it worked.

Rajeev Masand: The success of Race versus the review of Omkara – what was a bigger high?

Saif Ali Khan: The reviews of Omkara, to be honest. That’s because I had the security of success of Race. Only the reviews of Omkara are not enough. You need the numbers of Race. That’s a cheating answer. When I read about the figures of Race, it was very calming, satisfying and relieving. But it was nothing compared to Shah Rukh Khan SMSing (about Omkara), saying, “Dude, I can’t believe what I just saw and hats off”. Or the top actors and directors saying, “Saif, what was that?!” But Rs 63 crore is also not a joke.

Rajeev Masand: Your next film Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is a story of hope. A story of an angel coming down and rescuing peole from the circumstances. Do you believe in angels?

Saif Ali Khan: I do. What I actually believe is that we can be angels for a while. Goodness may possess us for a while. For example, it could be an angelic act to drop some money into a beggar’s bowl. I don’t know if it’s guilt that propels us or something else. Do angels fly down from above on a rainbow or on a bike? Who knows, may be they do. Angels, to me, are different people who do God’s work. They do exist, perhaps not in the way we have shown in the movie, but the concept is the same.

2008-06-21T00:34:00.000-07:00

The movie 'De Taali' released this friday and had pretty good reviews going its way. It has some very nice tracks, enjoyable music and lyrics.

Click here to download the tracks: De Taali

The movie 'Mission Istanbul' is being directed by Apoorv Lakhia, the guy who had directed 'Shootout At Lokhandwala'; so I am quite sure that this movie will also have some racy tracks and fast numbers. A few of the songs are already making waves because of the stylised picturisation of songs.

2008-06-14T21:09:00.000-07:00

Initially when the music of this film was released, I was not too keen on it. Firstly because Kamal Hasan's movies are not known for the songs but for the content and visuals. On top of that, this being a mega-budget movie, I was expecting him to rope-in AR Rahman. But that did not happen.

Anyways, I recently listened to the songs with reluctance and I was surprised by the music. Himesh Reshammiya has always given good music and is most remembered for his fast and pacy numbers which have good rhythm. But in this movie, he has changed his style. I loved the song 'Mukundha Mukhundha' which has been soulfully rendered by Sadhana Sargam. The song is just brilliant. I listened to the entire album only for this song, but I found the other songs also to be pretty ok; this being the best. I am hooked to this song for now.

You may also download and enjoy the songs. Click here to download it: Dashavtar

interview ... manoj night shyamalan

2008-06-10T03:08:00.000-07:00

Here are excerpts from an interview of Manoj 'Sixth Sense' Shyamalan:

Rajeev Masand:Your films are so steeped in supernatural and in the paranormal. This belief of yours in the paranormal is what you have inherited by being an Indian?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: I think the idea of talking about things that we can’t see and the ability to believe in those things is very intrinsic to the Indian culture. My American friends believe only what they see. However, it is much easier for me to see what is there on the other side of the curtain. I can’t hear or see it but I know that there is something there.

Rajeev Masand: Did you have any supernatural paranormal experiences of your own?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: Not really. I tend to be a little boring. So it’s my opportunity with movies to make things exciting in my life.

Rajeev Masand: Let us talk about your new film The Happening. It is much like the The Sixth Sense and Signs. It is another film about the fear of the unknown, isn’t it?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: Out of the six my movies that everybody has seen are dark scary thrillers. The Sixth Sense, Signs and The Happening are variations of it. And then I made three movies that are outside that genre: Unbreakable, The Village and the Lady in the Water. Both genres are both equally important sides of me. But The Happening falls in the very-scary-thriller genre.

Rajeev Masand: I am told the only poster on your wall of a film not directed by you is that of the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Did the film have a huge impact on you? Did it change your life or something?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: I’d say so. I was twelve. I went along with a friend to see the movie. I was very angry because I did not want to watch the film. I did not even know what archaeology was. My friend and me sat separately. But when the movie started, I sat there with my jaw hung. That’s when I decided that I wanted to do. I wanted to make movies like that for a living.

Rajeev Masand: You are one among few filmmakers who write their own material. Do you think people attach enough importance to originality in this business?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: Originality is dangerous. If you succeed in one, why would you not do seven more of those and be safer? It is a moneymaking venture. The thing is that the combination of originality and money making venture do not sit well together.

Rajeev Masand: Your parents are both doctors and you started out training to be one?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: I would not say that because I went to a film school at the NYU. It was an assumption I guess, because if you are good in academics and you have Indian parents who are doctors, and then the doors are opened...

Rajeev Masand: Were they horrified when you announced that you were going to be a filmmaker?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: They were very disappointed. Lets just put it that way: they are not big yellers.

Rajeev Masand: When was it the first time that they began to take it seriously?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: That was two months ago when I got the Padmashree. That was the moment I think they said that it is good and that they were okay.

Rajeev Masand: Who are some of the filmmakers who have influenced you greatly?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: There are so many. Spielberg,of course, is the guru of art of filmmaking. And then Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick are among the others. I think Kubrick’s minimalism is very beautiful. Another Japanese filmmaker too has influenced me a lot. Their style has influenced me a lot.

Rajeev Masand: Do you talk films at the dinner table?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: We try not to because films are something that wherever we go, everyone is talking about movies. So we don’t live in Los Angeles for that reason. It is like this unusual thing that I do for a living but we would treat it as if I work in a factory.

Rajeev Masand:You said that your mother, wife and aunts watch a lot of Hindi films, and you say you have watched snatches of those films walking in and out of the room. Did any bit impress you?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: I am very touched and moved by some of them. I want to spend some time analysing the heightened language, the [camera] push-in on the close-up of a speech and then the push-in on the close-up of the same speech again. And then the music hits. I want to know what does that do to the audience — when you are not being subtle in that manner. I think there is something really beautiful about that vocabulary that starts to emerge. You start to become a pure version of yourself, a less complicated version of the audience. I really do want to analyse it.

Rajeev Masand: I am sure you have heard of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.

Manoj Night Shyamalan: Yes. When I was really young, I was twelve, there was an Indian girl I met and one of her friends said to me, “she likes you more than Amitabh Bachchan.” I was like who is this dude, where is he? I got to go find him. Then I got to know that he is a famous actor.

Rajeev Masand: Why do you think Indian films haven’t really crossed over?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: I think because the movies that crossed over tend to be a singular idea that is very universal. The language of the Indian movies is incredibly universal in terms of romance and unrequited love and heightened emotions. These are all universal but they don’t really come in a package. For example, two people in a building that is about to collapse and they realise they are in love but they only have an hour to live. So the onus is on the theme. But here the onus is more on the back and forth of the theme of love and betrayal. So if they add just one bit, I think it could explode.

Rajeev Masand: Newsweek famously declared you the next Spielberg. You went from that to the guy who has lost his mind after Lady in the Water.

Manoj Night Shyamalan: They are both connected by the way. I guarantee you one does not come without the other.

Rajeev Masand: How did your parents react?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: They loved the movie and I loved the movie. That criticism was not even about the movie. If you remember, it was about me. That is fine. They honoured the movie as they were bashing me. There wasn’t really much to talk about the movie. They just kept going after me.

Rajeev Masand: You have acted in several of your films. Is that something that you enjoy?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: I love it. I don’t get to do that a lot. I get to write and direct but I don’t get to act much. I get to talk and analyse about acting. It’s the same thing that we were speaking about Bollywood actors. If I was doing the exact same thing what I do now, if I was white, it would be so much easier because it would not stand out that much. So if I were a neighbour in the movie, it would be no big deal in the movie. But if I am an Indian guy in a white neighbourhood, then there is some problem.

It has to always fit into the movie. In some way that it isn’t a statement. I am not trying to make a statement. I want to be very normal. It’s a giant issue. It’s the same difficulty that Shah Rukh Khan would face.

Rajeev Masand: Your next film is Avatar: The Last Airbender, which is based on a children’s TV series, also in Japanese. It is also deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. Is it the closest you have come to putting your roots out there?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: Absolutely. I had not thought of it as a movie. My kids watched it with my mom, and my mom was screaming that is Hindu philosophy and they are stealing our philosophy. She was outraged, but in a good way. And a year later I thought of making it as a movie. It has almost everything that I love. It has all the philosophies, the religion in terms of Hindu philosophy, Buddhist philosophy, martial arts, genocide, and such deep subjects. The mythology is in the scale of Star Wars. It has to be natural of course.

Rajeev Masand: Do you feel the twist in the ending has become like a noose around your neck? Damned if you do and damned if you don’t?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: Yes. I don’t know what to do. You know Hitchcock is known for twists in the endings. So I am not the first one to get a label.

Rajeev Masand: Is there a twist in The Happening?

Manoj Night Shyamalan: There is none and that is an honest answer.

'bad karma' catches up with sharon stone

2008-06-02T09:46:00.000-07:00

Sharon Stone's 'bad karma' comment has sparked uproar amongst netizens, who have condemned the actress and believe that her apology on the issue is not genuine.

The 50-year-old actress had made the controversial comment on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival, where she had linked the Chinese earthquake with the country's policy towards Tibet.

And now, cosmetic giant 'Christian Dior' has released an apology statement from the actress, at the same time as announcing her dismissal from its campaign in the country.

The Basic Instinct star's comments have annoyed the Chinese netizens, who said that her apology was insincere.

They 'will reject it and not forgive (her),' China Daily quoted them, as saying.

Even before she made her statement of her "wrong speech and behaviour", Chinese online called her ignorant of the Tibet issue and that she had an uncaring attitude towards Chinese people's sorrows, implying her disrespect of life.

In fact, the Chinese uproar against her ruthless comments has made them call for banning Stone's movies from being shown in all Chinese cinemas.

This, added on with comments from online readers from many foreign countries ridiculing her 'karma' comments, has made the situation even worse for the Hollywood actress.

'As an American, it makes me embarrassed that Sharon Stone would be so ignorant. She does not represent the feelings of most of us, nor should she be given any press. She is just another useless Hollywood elitist opening her mouth rather than her heart, and that is far too often the case,' wrote a reader called Kevin, on the chinadaily.com.cn forum.

'I hope our Chinese friends will know that we Americans are grieving for those killed and affected by this terrible earthquake, and that we wish to help in any way we can. I don't know of anyone who agrees with Ms. Stone's comments,' wrote another American reader.

A huge majority of Chinese English readers worldwide have also commented that Stone's comments at Cannes were certainly insulting.

In fact, The Shanghai International Film Festival has also decided to permanently ban Stone and her films.

angelina jolie's tattoos ...

2008-03-27T07:15:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie's new get-up for the movie 'Wanted' is turning lots of heads. This time the reason is the awesome body-art that she has stylized in this movie. She plays a professional assassin but I guess she's gonna kill anyone with just one look, no need for any weaponry here.

In some of the shots that have been disclosed to media she's been sporting tattoos which looks more like inscriptions. Have a look at these photos, and you'll quickly see what I mean.

As I was saying, Angelina already has a rather impressive collection of tattoos of her own – thirteen at the last count – including the words "Know your rights" written across the base of her neck.
There's also a prayer written in Khmer on her back and markings documenting the longitudinal and latitudinal location of the birth place of each of her four children.

I should probably mention right about now that she has gradually had her "Billy Bob" tattoo removed by laser. Just a thought. Anyway, as I was telling you and as you can see for yourselves.
She had some extra body-art added to her back and arms and if anything, the new tattoos make her look pretty hot. I only hope they're not permanent.

I feel Angelina is better left doing what she's good at – playing assassins and superheroes as in Tomb Raider. But this change of look, a make-over of sorts, is a welcome relief.

The movie is bound to have some really hot scenes, chases and fights, apart from the sexy tattoos. I am definitely looking forward to this movie.

Bipasha Basu poses for a photo-shoot with her new look.

She displays an outfit by designers Gauri and Nainika's fall/winter '08 collection on Day 1 of the 'Wills India Fashion Week' at Pragati Maidan.

She received a surprise gift from one of her fans.

This is what she wore when she turned up at a NGO 'People for Animals' and she expressed her concern over the issue of animal welfare.

She looks awesome in this white outfit alongwith the beads.

A friendly smile for the media to capture.

Bipasha models a creation by designer Rocky S.

Her recent visit to Calcutta, ohh ...... Kolkata !!! The Bong Connection.

She was a model before she turned her attention to Bollywood.

Looking alluring in pink.

Bipasha Basu looks stunning in sarees too.

yashraj's movie line-up for 2008

2008-03-23T06:02:00.000-07:00

The YRF banners have come out with their list of releases for this year. Their first movie to hit the screen would be a multi-starrer Tashan, and the year would end with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring their favourite pin-up boy SRK.

I just hope that this year turns out good for them as well as for the audience. I have not forgotten the horrid times that I spent watching their movies last year. They dished out regressive drama in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, mind-numbing Ta Ra Rum Pum, Madhuri's comeback vehicle [without a wheel] Aaja Nachle and over-the-top Jhoom Barabar Jhoom which sank inspite of the Bachchan's presence. They took the viewers for granted and churned out such horrible movies. The only saving grace was Chak De India, and here the credit should go to our sporting victories in hockey and cricket which coincided with the release of the movie and helped the movie gain momentum, not the other way round as SRK would want us to believe.

Anyways, let's move onto the list along with the release dates:

Tashan - 25th April'08
Starring - Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Saif and Kareena
Trivia - directed by the scriptwriter of Dhoom, so this will be an action packed movie.
Watch-out for Saif and Kareena's onscreen chemistry as well as Akshay-Saif's comic timing since the Khiladi-Anadi days.

Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic - 27th June'08
Starring - Saif Ali, Rani Mukherjee, 4 other kids
Trivia - the director who gave us Hum Tum is back with a fairy tale.

Rani plays a fairy who descends to the earth to help Saif and the kids, its loosely inspired by Oscar winning movie Mary Poppins.

Bachna Ae Haseeno - 15th Aug'08
Starring - Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba
Trivia - the director who gave us Salaam Namaste is back and this time to direct the blue-eyed boy Ranbir romancing three beautiful ladies.
His talent was not utilized to the fullest in his debut movie Sawaariya and I am sure he has a lot more to offer.

Roadside Romeo - 24th Oct'08
Vocals - Saif Ali, Kareena, Javed Jaffrey
Trivia - its a full length animation movie wherein a dog is abandoned on the streets and how he makes a living for himself. The movie is targetted at kids.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - 12th Dec'08
Starring - SRK, Sonam Kapoor
Trivia - Aditya Chopra will be directing this movie after a long gap of nearly 8 years. His last directorial venture was Mohabbatein which saw a clash of 2 superstars, AB and SRK. The story of this movie is under tight wraps and no one has any idea what the movie deals with.

holi hai !!!!!!!

2008-03-22T06:48:00.000-07:00

First of all let me wish you all a very happy holi. This festival of colour, joy and celebration has been presented in many movies. But their style of display and the treatment has always been very different from each other. No two movies have showcased this festive mood in the same manner.

In Silsila it was a proclamation of love, an unabashed exhibition of suppressed desires in the pretext of Holi. And it was this very festival which brought out the baser instinct of people in the form of molestation and rape of an innocent housemaid in the movie Damini. In Darr, an obsessed lover takes up the challenge of smearing Holi colors on his object of desire. This festival brings an end to years of animosity between two friends as they sprinkled colors on each other and they celebrated the revival of their friendship in Saudagar.

The festival of Holi evokes such passion and emotion and manifests itself in various forms. All these forms have been captured appreciably on the silver-screen. Here are 5 of my all time favourite Holi numbers which have been able to portray the spirit of Holi:

1. Rang Barse .... immortalised by Big B. No Holi is complete without this song, in fact this song becomes the anthem of the country

2. Arre Jaa Re Hatt Natkhat .... this film was made to celebrate colours, hence aptly titled 'Navrang'

3. Holi Khele Raghubeera Awadh Mei .... a beautiful adaptation of folklore in mainstream cinema

4. Dekho Ayi Holi .... a great song which went unnoticed just like the movie

5. Holi Ke Din .... a perfect song which brings the entire village together in the biggest blockbuster of all time, Sholay

aamir's new look .....

2008-03-21T11:17:00.000-07:00

I thought I should write a review of the latest hindi movie 'Race', but what was more interesting than the movie was the new look of Aamir Khan who was spotted at the premiere of the movie. He stole the show with his latest bald look; rather short hairs though not completely bald.

He was the cynosure of the party and he bowled the media by asking them how he looks, rather than commenting about it himself.

He is quite a peculiar actor who likes to get into the skin of the character. We all remember how he had grown his tresses really long for the Mangal Pandey look, and had sported a thick moustache as well. This new look is for his forthcoming movie named 'Ghajni', remake of a tamil movie by the same name; which again was loosely based on Nolan's 'Memento'.

Anyways, this is not the first time that Aamir has gone bald for a movie. Previously, he had done so for in 1984 for an unreleased movie called 'Holi' which was directed by Ketan Mehta. I have not seen the movie but have heard a lot about it from him and the director. And the reason why he had a bald look in that movie is another story. He had proposed to a teacher on whom he had a huge crush. She rejected his advances and the proposal, so Aamir shaved off his head to mourn the rejection....thats Aamir for you, always passionate about things that matter the most to him.
