Abhi thinks he has found his Soul Mate...

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may be shooting for many films. No matter whose set she is on, or which city in the world she is travelling to,reports say that the gorgeous Ash makes sure that each day she organises husband Abhishek Bachchan’s day with precision. Not only does she assure Abhishek gets his diet food, she also checks if his assignments are all in order. Ash may be a powerful woman in her own right, but that doesn’t stop her from making sure her house is in perfect order. No wonder, Abhi keeps saying on how lucky he is to have found his soul-mate.

A World Record for "Paa"

It is the first time in the history of Indian cinema that the audience will not get to see the face of the real actor. This is challenging especially when that actor happens to be the most famous Indian actor alive — Amitabh Bachchan. Reliance BIG Entertainment's Paa, directed by R Balki and releasing worldwide on December 4. It will be the first time in the history of world cinema that a father-son team have worked in a film, but in a role reversal. Yet, Bachchan says that Paa is not the most challenging role he has attempted. “I hate to categorise any effort that I make or any role that is given to me,” says the AB. “I would like to believe that each role that I have done is important. Paa is recent and it has required a lot of physicality. It has not been the most normal of roles that I have done. So for the moment, I would yes, playing Auro in Paa has been a good challenge. But I hope there will be an even more challenging roles tomorrow. And I hope these challenges keep coming because we creative artistes rely a lot on these.”
SO thats what the Bachan's say....now lets see what they really got....

"Up in the Air" Review

Ryan Bingham travels from city to city, carrying all his belongings in a single suitcase while making a nice living firing people. His only significant long-term ambition is to reach ten million frequent flyer miles, and he's very nearly there. It isn't until he meets the woman of his dreams and is forced to work with the woman of his nightmares that he starts to take a long hard look at his life. In a digital, global, instant-gratification society, is there any room for things like home, family, and community? Director Jason Reitman knows how to deliver quirky stories about unlikely heroes: he's the man behind "Thank You for Smoking" and the Oscar-winning teen pregnancy tale "Juno." You certainly could do worse than to be fired by George Clooney, one of Hollywood's most charming leading men.

Ideally, the plotline of BHEJA FRY is best suited for a stage play [theatre], but director Sagar Ballary makes an attempt to garnish it with interesting twists to suit the 35 mm format. Only thing, a concept like BHEJA FRY, even though it packs in ample laughs in 12 reels, is strictly for the multiplex junta. Again, not all multiplexes, but select ones. With a title like BHEJA FRY, you expect a wacky fare and it does meet your expectations at times.

It's difficult to make people laugh and director Sagar Ballary walks a difficult path in his directorial debut. But what bails him out are a fairly interesting screenplay [Sagar Ballary, Arpita Chatterjee] and most importantly, an actor who gets it right in every scene -- Vinay Pathak.

On the whole, BHEJA FRY has its enjoyable moments, but it's the type of cinema that would appeal to the multiplex junta of a few cities only. An effort like this will find more patronage on DVDs/Satellite TV than the ticket window.

Vivek back in Action!!

Viviek Oberoi remained invisible for a long time. But after the success of 'Kurbaan', his popularity has increased again. He invited media to his crib for a chat and to showcase his two favorite passions, watches and paintings. He has also revealed his ideal date. Also coming up with an action packed movie "PRINCE" Definitely hoping it would be a must watch….

Would Shahid Kapoor's popularity increase with "eight packs"

After the hit of Chance Pe Dance . Shahid Kapoor decided to take two steps a head of Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan in terms of the six packs. They definitely had the ladies swooning with their abs. But Shahid Kapoor has build eight packs accompanied by his stunning dance moves. The movie is based on a dance reality show. But the next in line is Salman Khan in 'Veer'. Even though Shahid Kapoor was able to built eight packs would he be as famous as Shahrukh and Aamir khan.

Atif Aslam

Atif Aslam is a Pakistani musician. He was born in Wazirabad, Gujranwala, Punjab, pakistan and educated in Lahore and Rawalpindi.Working together, the pair recorded the song Aadat. It became popular on different musical websites in Pakistan. The song was also played on such Pakistani radio stations as FM100 and FM105. The music video for Aadat was shot one day in a warehouse in Karachi. Due to personal problems in the band, Atif Aslam left Jal and became solo.Atif Aslam's soulful voice crossed the Pakistani border and reached India when Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt called Atif Aslam to seek his consent to put "Woh Lamhey" as a song in the soundrack of his new motion picture, Zeher.

RDB!!!

RDB (an acronym for Rhythm, Dhol, Bass) are a Punjabi DJ production team consisting of three Indian Sikh brothers: Kuly, Manj, and Surj ya punda, who blend western genres with traditional Punjabi beats and vocals. They are based in Canada and the UK.

Sharukh & Kajol again...

Karan Johar is again directing his favorite couple once again, Kajol and Sharukh Khan in Newyork, it’s one of those movies for which people is waiting to be released. Everyone is really excited. Let’s see it the film lives up to it everyone’s expectations or not.

Saathiya

The usual fairy tale Indian love story ends with the lovers getting married followed by a flashy title card that reads “…And they lived happily ever after.” That is of course what any escapist audience would expect and why not? “Saathiya” sings a different tune – one rooted a little more in realism. The beauty of the film lies in the fact that it embellishes this theme with the same escapist flair and deeply touching vibrancy that characterize the tradition of Indian cinema.
Aditya Sehgal (Vivek Oberoi) awaits his wife Suhani Sharma (Rani Mukherjee) at the railway station. She is nowhere to be seen. We cut back a year to watch them meet and fall in love in the usual masala routine. When their parents meet to arrange their marriage, class conflict creeps in to squeeze out their respective superiority and inferiority complexes. Aditya leaves home and Suhani is thrown out for disrupting her elder sister’s marital plans. The couple starts a new life together, mutually agreeing to shun their parents. The new apartment is dilapidating, but all that matters is that it is their home. She for him and him for her. Then what went wrong in this paradise? Or was it ever that?

SWADES...

As India enjoys urban development, technological leaps, and the software boom, her villagers still struggle to accumulate basic needs such as education and electricity. “Swades” makes a timely plea to Indians at home and abroad. It serves as a reminder that in order for globalization and its trickle-down theory to work, initiatives also need to begin at the grassroots level. Change initiated by an individual regardless of how small it may be, is a beginning nonetheless. In the case of Ashutosh Gowarikar’s protagonist, Mohan Bhargava (Shahrukh Khan), that change emerges through a simple aim of lighting a bulb

Kareena Kapoor spotted as new spider women!!!

We wonder what do the watch makers have in store for us, after making Kareena as the spider-woman. She is everywhere: on the hoardings, the bus shelters, not to mention of the TV and radio media, the internet, the newspapers. The 'Wonder-Girl' Kareena Kapoor, the Gen-Next Diva, who is not just the Numero Uno in Bollywood, but also has replicated the same status in the ad world too. Lets wait for this new film…

Kungfu Panda

The most exciting and hilarous movie of all times is kungfu panda. It may not sound hilarous but you wont stop laughing once you are half way through.


At once fuzzy-wuzzy and industrial strength, the tacky-sounding “Kung Fu Panda” is high concept with a heart. Even better, this animated feature from DreamWorks is so consistently diverting and visually arresting that it succeeds in transcending its storybook clichés. The tale has the consistency of baby pablum — it’s nutritious and easy on the gums — but there’s enough beauty and pictorial wit here from opening to end credits, enough feeling for the art and for the freedom of animation, that you may not care.

That outsider is even more irresistible when mixed with so much lovingly created animation, both computer generated and hand drawn. The main story, executed via 3-D animation (all done on computers) and directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, fluidly integrates gorgeous, impressionistic flourishes with the kind of hyper-real details one has come to expect from computer-generated imagery: photorealistically textured stone steps, for instance, and fur so invitingly tactile you want to run your fingers through it. One of the pleasures of “Kung Fu Panda” is that instead of trying to mimic the entirety of the world as it exists, it uses the touch of the real. The character designs may be anatomically correct, but they’re cartoons from whisker to tail.

Its a must watch comedy and more importantly a family comedy movie which is rare to find.

Saving Private Ryan

The release of "Saving Private Ryan" generated a massive hype due to Steven Spielberg having also directed that other Second World War opus, "Schindler's List". Now that Hollywood has moved on and the fuss has subsided, it's clear that an important movie remains.

Much has been written and gasped about the opening 20 minutes as the GIs land on the beaches, only to be mown down by the Germans. Some recoiled at the graphic violence, others praised the realism, while some questioned whether war is really like that at all. The percentage of an audience who can accurately comment is surely small.
What is abundantly clear is that in the massive body of films that deal with World War II, this is one that pulls no punches. It consistently explores the unpredictable and random violence that engulfs and blinds the men within it.
The plot serves only to drag a squad of characters through uncharted peril with few fitting the normal pre-determined 'hero' tag of war films. They're off on a PR mission to find a Private James Ryan and take him home to his mother, who is shortly to learn that her other three sons are dead.

While the men are constantly under threat from the Germans, they are not engaged in a key battle that will help win the war. Without a major event to eclipse proceedings, a greater examination of each man's personal fears is allowed to shine through.

This is not a film that will please everyone and quite rightly so. But no movie about any war can seek to provide answers to every question. What Spielberg does is create a world of frightening carnage in which a small story is played out. As such, this is an important film that deconstructs war machines into separate, frightened men as it so likely was.

Some viewers point out at this video as a voilent movie but in my opininion it shows reality of what happened in world war2 and how people lost their families.

I've often said that comedy is serious business and the audience has moved over from banana peel humour in movies. The comedy in AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI - though it borders on absurdity - is funny in most parts. Sure, there're times when you feel that the humour looks forced especially climax fight when Katrina mistakenly bangs Ranbir a couple of times.
Yet, despite the blemishes, AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI is a full-on entertainer. One thing is for sure, you'd fall in prem with Prem and his antics. An ideal date movie that should connect with the youth.
On the whole, AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI entertains majorly. At the box-office, the fantastic pre-release campaign coupled with the terrific chemistry between Ranbir and Katrina, excellent music by Pritam and tremendous appeal for youth should ensure a big start for the film at the ticket window. The business prospects seem excellent, thus ensuring handsom e returns for its investors.

Dil Chata Hai

The stories and movies to which a person best relates, often become their most cherished. Remember that adage! Cause the day you find a romantic film as relevant to your life as Dil Chahta Hai is to people of my generation, you will also be unable to forget its images, dialogues, performances and story-line. That will always be the place Farhan Akhtar’s first directorial venture holds in my heart. (There’s something about the rawness and unharnessed energy of newbie directors that helps many of them excel their first round at the turnstiles.)
It works so well because Akhtar has targeted the final product at an intelligent audience, and taken many commendable risks along the way. He knows we’re sick and tired of all the unreal shenanigans seen ad nauseam in countless Bollywood love stories the past few decades. So this one’s told with maturity, realistic drama and comic panache

KAANTE

A story of good-looking men with guns, a good sense of humor and lack of trust. All these make KAANTE. After a long time, one has got a chance to see a film of this genera on the Hindi screen.
The film begins with six strangers locked up in a jail in Los Angeles, cell where they plan to rob a bank. Major (Amitabh Bachchan) is a veteran gangster and is tired of life behind bars. He has a wife in her deathbed who desires to breath her last in India.
Ajju (Sanjay Dutt) is a rough and tough guy in the movie who has had some experience of robbing banks and likes to spend his time in nightclubs. Mark (Sunil Shetty) is a bouncer fired from his job and is in love with a dancer in the same club. Andy (Kumar Gaurav) is a genius in computer software, divorced and is fighting for the custody of his son. Mak (Lucky Ali) is a cool-dude with a who-cares attitude and is always with Bali (Mahesh Manjrekar) a drug addict.
These guys are successful in robbing the bank but before they get away, police arrives and a shootout follows. Somehow the six manage to escape and meet again. They are sure there is an informer among them. But who is he? No one trusts the other and soon guns are drawn.

Khuda Ke Liya

Given the standing ovation the film is getting in theatres all over Pakistan from rich and poor alike, one can safely say that I am not the only one. For one thing it is a uniquely Pakistani story, which could have only come out of Pakistan. To sum it up, it is about us - the people of Pakistan warts and all- take it or leave it.
I went to the theatre expecting to see the same old liberal v. fundo arguments. There were those, but unlike how these arguments play out in “The Friday Times” and the “Nawai Waqt“, this remarkable film is fully conscious of its Pakistani identity and the strong Islamic component that forms part thereof.

The Shawshank Redemption

An all time favorite and top-rated movie. I personally suggest to watch it. However if you havent then you havent watched anything......
Here is a review to the movie(for beginners)

Tim Robbins stars as Andy Dufresne, a successful young banker who is sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Andy is sent to Shawshank prison, a dour and depressing place where brutality from both guards and other prisoners is commonplace. Andy makes friends with Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman), a lifer who has already spent many years inside. Red specialises in smuggling items into the prison for the other prisoners. Red soon discovers that Andy is a most unusual prisoner, although at first it seems to do him little good – he is brutalised by other prisoners

He starts to get both other prisoners and guards on his side when he offers to help one of the most notorious guards with a tax problem in exchange for bottles of chilled beer for everyone in his work party. From then on, Andy always seems to be working on one thing or another. He improves the prison’s tiny library, and helps those prisoners who want to study. He also handles the guards’ tax returns, and even helps the swindling Warden (Bob Gunton) cook the books. Over the years, he gains the respect of most of the other prisoners and guards. More importantly, he never loses hope for the future – a hope he tries to pass on to the other prisoners. He never stops believing in life’s possibilities, but to make the most of them he needs to be free.

Based on the Stephen King (non-horror) novella “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption”, this is a simple story of hope made remarkable by the interaction between the two lead characters. Both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman do a fine job in terms of making their roles genuine and appealing, and also in the way they work so well together. The production values throughout are outstanding, but this is not a “fancy” film. Rather, it sticks to the story it is telling without resorting to flashy tricks to grab the audience’s attention. Although there is violence, some of it extreme, it is necessary to show the kind of place the prison is and is certainly not gratuitous. The main theme is hope, not despair, and the violence serves only as a backdrop to that message. Unashamedly a feelgood movie, by the end one is wishing only that it would continue for a few more moments.

It's Got: A simple story told with poignancy.

It Needs: To continue the story just a little longer.

My Opinion: its perfect in the way it is.....

Are all the characters in the movie DE DANA DAN justified

'De Dana Dan', the latest release is a huge success at the box office. This film not only have the successful 'Hera Pheri' trio, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal, but also the hot Katrina Kaif, Sameera Reddy and Neha Dhupia. The film has received unexpected reactions at the box office, on one side it is a hit among the fans but on the other, the critics have a negative opinion about it. It opened with 70 percent at the box office and is expected to increase during the week. So is a multi starrer the secret to success? Affirmative is Suniel Shetty. It is not only for a comedy film but for any genre of film. More the characters in the film, more the confusion. This is something people prefer. Every character is important to the film. Sushmita Sen believes that many characters can create confusion or it can add to the film. Suniel Shetty reiterates the fact that the success of the film depends on the script and director. But one question remains, are all the characters justified? If the characters are not justified the actors are the first ones to complain.
