Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush, Akshara Haasan
Shamitabh has a doubly dramatic act - but less emotion
Story: Mute Daanish becomes a superstar when Amitabh Sinha provides him his voice - what happens when ego pulls body and speech apart?
Review: So, Shamitabh has a lovely concept - a boy falls in love with the movies and dreams of becoming a star. He has pizzazz, passion, presence - but no voice. Daanish (Dhanush) is born mute, his soul, like the film-mad lad of Cinema Paradiso, finding utterance with movies, Igatpuri's bus conductor (rather like a certain Rajini Sir) determined to achieve stardom. Daanish hits Film City and impresses assistant director Akshara (Haasan) but directors reject a mute hero.
Akshara's doctor dad introduces Daanish to technology which, using embedded micro-recorders and ear-pieces, enables a mute person to communicate via a 'borrowed' voice. Daanish and Akshara find the perfect voice - that of Amitabh Sinha (Bachchan), a failed actor, snubbed due to his baritone, who lives in a graveyard, soaked in whisky and cynicism. Amitabh's tickled by the idea of making his rejected voice successful and the 'Shamitabh' team becomes a super-hit.

There are very few acting titans in Bollywood whose legacy precedes the release of their movies. But when it comes to the Khans of Bollywood, then it looks like a customary off-shoot preceding as well as succeeding their movies' release. And even among these three iconic Khans, it's Aamir who leads the league with a huge margin.

Jai Ho,
Salman Khan,
zap
Much has been debated about the making and the story of Superstar
Salman Khan's latest outing Jai Ho, prior its release. Having hit the
marquee today, the movie is somewhat similar to his previous outings
like Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard. But what makes it different from his
previous movies is its theme and story that send out a clear message to
the society. Like Sanjay Dutt in Munna Bhai MMBS, Sallu Miyan rocks the
film goers in his different avatar as social crusader. The film throws
more light on the humane side of Dabangg Khan. Continue to read Jai Ho
review.
Jai Ho is an action drama with all commercial elements to woo all
classes of audience. Salman Khan's performance is the main highlight of
the film. AR Murugadoss' story, Dilip Shukla's interesting screenplay,
punch dialogues, Sajid-Wajid's songs, Sandeep Shirodkar's background
score, Santosh Thundiyil's beautiful picturisation, well-choreographed
action and dance sequences and a few comedy scenes are other big
attractions in the film.

Well probably there are no doubts about the fact that wherever it comes to painting a cine delight belonging to the the genre of romance then irrespective of era, probably Shakespearean romance and immortal love-story, "Romeo and Juliet" are going to be the single point reference for all those who have got fascination for the ilk. And if we walk down the memory lanes, then in every era of Indian cinema one or the other cine delight loosely or thoroughly based on Shakespearean style of romance have made it to celluloid. Be it "QSQT", or the recent ones like "Ishaqzaade" and "Issaq" or the recent Indian take on "Romeo and Juliet's" love story i.e. "Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela".

With youth centric cine delight Kai Po Che! making it to the BO, this not for the first time that our cine biggies have banked upon the charm of youth power to dish out a mesmerizing cine delight.
Be it "Dil Chahata Hai", "Rock On!!" or "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" every time the tryst of our cine sorcerers have resulted in the making of some of the most mesmerizing cine sagas focusing the youth. But before you start making you perceptions about Kai Po Che! on the basis of your previous rendezvous with earlier made youth centric cine delights, let me tell you that Kai Po Che! is altogether different in its approach.

What can be said about a film where a couple named Mili and Bhagat conspire to bring their employer's empire down?
Mili? Bhagat? Get it?
Khiladi 786 is the kind comic orgy done in shades of green orange and pink which doesn't require us to strain our brain. The kicks and grunts, guffaws and chortles, the antics raillery and tomfoolery flow out unstoppered like an uncapped toothpaste tube.
The formula is simple. And stark. Get the audience to laugh at any cost. And some of it does work quite well. Shukriya.

Undoubtedly, Aamir is one such acting titan of of Bollywood who is known for challenging the rules of conventional cinema. This time Mr Perfectionist has returned to BO with his much talked about suspense thriller, Talaash starring Rani Mukherjee, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazudin Sidhiqui and Jineet Rath.
This much awaited suspense cine tale of Aamir opened with an average occupancy of 70% at the multiplexes ( why not after all it's Mr Perfectionist prevailing legacy that precedes his movie releases).
Another key traits which precedes Aamir's style of cinematography is uniqueness of his cine concepts and his novel promotional strategies. Be it 3 Idiots or Taare Zameen Par, every time Aamir has succeeded in setting up a remarkable benchmarks, but contrary to his signature style of promotion this time he created a very conspicuous suspense around the promotions of his suspense drama, Talaash by maintaining an extremely low key affair.

For Bollywood which seems to running short of ideas and innovations, it looks like ace cinematographer S.S. Rajamouli and his widely entertaining cine cantatas are the new ray of hope, which Bollywood cine sorcerers are loving to serve these days after dabbling them in new treacle of entertainment.
Be it Rowdy Rathore inspired from Vikramendu or the recently released cine flick Son of Sardar which is reportedly inspired from another masterpiece Maryada Ramanna of this talented director.
Though Son of Sardar has its conceptual roots in Maryada Ramanna, but as far as the plot is concerned than it is embedded in a different culture where a community known for its cheerful and fun loving nature is moved forth to entertain the masses. This much talked about home production of Ajay after scratching the belly of YRF, finally made it to silver screen with an occupancy of 85% at multiplexes.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is the film from the man who taught the country how to Romance and fall in Love. Yash Chopra, The 'Legend' who recently left the world said Jab Tak Hai Jaan would be his last film as a Director and wished his film would be a great HIT. Maybe God was in the good mood that time, God granted his last words as the last wish and brought him to heaven to make films for the Almighty.
From the film, Shah Rukh Khan also proved that he 'Is' still the 'Baadshah' of Romance and Love. Shah Rukh was absolutely right in one of his Interviews, Jab Tak Hai Jaan is not just a Film for him, It is much more.

Bleeding brilliance in almost every frame, breathing fire through every available orifice that the characters possess, and whipping up a kind of frenzied flamboyant bloodshed that was once associated with the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah, Gangs Of Wasseypur is, briefly, one huge gang-bang. No protection provided.
From its bludgeoning opening when merciless marauders ambush a powerful enemy’s fortress-like home with army-like meticulousness Gangs Of Wasseypur takes us into a world where compassion is a dinosaur, forgiveness a faux pas, and kindness an unforgivable sin.

It's not every day that you get to see a film which is a collage of yesteryear's films, and that too, a horrible mish-mash. "Qasam Se Qasam Se" lacks originality from the word go.

Three actors play a stellar role in Rajesh Mapuskar's directorial debut, FERRARI KI SAWAARI -- Boman Irani, Sharman Joshi and child artiste Ritvik Sahore, who is also making his debut. For the first 45 minutes Mapuskar, along with these three, takes you on a flaming ride. However, just before the interval, he hits a road bump. An exhaustive scene where the politician has second thoughts on wanting a Ferrari for his son's wedding gets a bit tedious taking the fun out of the outstanding drive so far. It picks up again after the break and then stutters and stops before speeding off again to once again come to a grinding halt, just before the end. The end is unnecessarily extended when the movie could have concluded when Kayo returns home from the hospital with his dad and grandfather. Instead, Mapuskar subjects the audience to a duplicate Sachin Tendulkar; a horrible mistake. What was the need for this Mapuskar, when you had succeeded in having Sachin play a pivotal role without him actually being there with a powerful screenplay?

Moreover, no Under-14 camp to England has been shown 'live', on television, at least not as yet. A glorious innings is cut short by these rather immature, self-destructive shots! Having said that, on the whole, FKS is worth a ride. Rusy (Sharman Joshi) is a single father, a caring son and a doting dad. An upright Parsi who always does what is right. So what if the law has not witnessed his 'crime'.

If you are from Noth India, you have already seen ‘Ishaqzaade’ in your everyday life. In case you hail from any other part from this country, YRF’s latest flick gives you an interesting peek into this land where treachery is a virtue, muscle power equates manhood, family honour lies in your daughter’s virginity, love is a crime and hate unites.
