Title: THE CUTEST FILM OF THE YEAR!! - Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na…

Who goes in to see a movie 9.30 am in the morning? Quite a few apparently.
I, amongst them, treaded into the line outside the ticket counter….god what are so many people doing here this early! I thought am going to be the only hapless person to come over to a theater this early…..they must be for LOVE STORY 2050, stupid people!! Why would anyone pay money to see a hrithik clone dance with robots! But then again, am sure the hall for jaane tu ya jaane na is going to be half empty…..I need to stretch my legs! So I reach the counter, “one ticket for jaane tu, current show please”, and then comes the shock, “sir is 3rd row from …

Time was different when Dhool ka Phhool (1959) was released. Films were different, writings were different, lyrics were different and values were different.

Dhool ka Phool covers the pathos of the life of a child who was abandoned by his mother because her lover made her pregnant but did/could not marry her.

Rajendra Kumar sings a good song Tere Pyar ka Asra Chahta hun to allure Mala Sinha and Mala Sinha also responds him through her singing.

She accepts his love and soon they enjoy being in love and sing

Nature has to play its role and their intimacy is resulted in to her pregnancy. But Rajendra Kumar surrenders before his father’s desires and does not marry Mala Sinha. He, instead, marries a rich girl Nanda chosen by his father, leaving behind pregnant …

It’s been a long time coming.

Just read an article on IndiaFM.com that Dibakar Banerjee, Director of the critically acclaimed, immensely likeable film “Khosla Ka Ghosla” has finally announced his next film.

Titled “Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye” (kickass title IMHO) the film stars the talented Mr. Abhay Deol as a thief who, as per Banerjee himself, “starts a normal thief and then later climbs up the status graph and becomes a very rich and well known crook.”

The film also co-stars Neetu Chandra (of Traffic Signal… we’ll conviently forget that Garam Masala was infact her debut film) and, what seems to be the ace up Banerjee’s sleeve, Paresh Rawal in an interesting Triple Role.

If Anupam Kher, Ranvir Shoery, Parvid Dabas, Navin Nischol and even Tara Sharma put in some stellar performances, one looks forward to even more from “Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye” (which I’m guessing will be referred to …

NAYAK (2001)- SHANKAR AT HIS BEST

I like larger than life movies. I love movie with all commercial masala in it. But condition is that it should be well balanced. It should have fast pace, powerful dialogues, performances and excellent technique. Nayak-The Real Hero fulfills all those expectations. It is intense, emotional as well as humorous and fast paced.

Shankar has got grip in handling true commercial movies. I have seen his Hum se hai Muqabla, Gentleman, Hindustani and Aparichit. (All dubbed in hindi). Though all of his films have almost same story (a common man fighting against corrupt system by having special power); he treats the subject differently and make audience engaged in the film as well as enjoy the film.

As per my POV Nayak-The Real Hero is Shankar’s best work till date. The major difference and innovative …

WELCOME -full of nonsense

Overall grading: B-
Director: Anees Bazmee

Pehaps after success of No Entry director Anees Bazmee thought “chalo No Entry hit hui hai to usi type ki ek aur comedy banate hai”. Let’s take love story of Gangster’s sister and an average boy. OK concept is good but then what? How to develop script? OK… add some songs picturised in Dubai, South Africa, Take big star cast Add illogical comedy sequences, poor jokes …. And most important constatnt TV campaning…. Ek baar public ne ticket kharid li to wapas to nahin karegi… aur.film dekhke medical store waalon (Asprin) ko bhi thodi kamaai ho jaaye to thoda bahot commission bhi pakka… So he made WELCOME.

Yes I know we should not try to find any logic in a comedy movie….but welcome is illogical as well as full of nonsense. Welcome has that kind of nonsense that can not be tolerated …
