What’s ra-cking the world of Shah Rukh Khan (SRK Interview)

He doesn’t believe in link-ups with heroines, so he chooses to endorse Linc pens! PJ? Well, everyone laughed when Shah Rukh Khan said it at ITC, The Sonar on Tuesday evening when the Bollywood superstar launched a new product from the pen brand.

Within minutes of touching down in town in the afternoon, Shah Rukh had called t2. “Hi, I have just landed… I have a lot of programmes lined up at ITC. How long will it take you to come down to the hotel?” If the King is calling, it better be fast, like the Goopy-Bagha taali. But taking the monsoon and michhil traffic mess into account, we say “30-45” minutes.

“Okay, I will call you over, once I am free.”
We reached, he rocked. As always.

Do the painful losses of the Knight Riders haunt you when you come to Calcutta now?
No, no, not at all! From the moment I come out of the airport in Calcutta and I find a sea of people waiting for me, I just feel that I have returned to my other home. It’s always a good feeling. In fact, Calcutta reminds me more of football. I think Calcutta is the motherland of soccer in India. Apart from Calcutta, Tamil Nadu and Goa, football has no importance in the rest of the country.

My Review of We Are Family – Sachin

Movie – We Are Family

Director – Sidharth Malhotra

Cast – Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal

Here is my review of the movie “We Are Family.” Movie is being produced by Dharma Productions i.e., a Karan Johar movie, hence you can expect the melodrama. The movie is about a divorced couple with kids and husband having a girl friend.

Movie starts painfully slow with 3 kids which are under possession of a divorced wife – Maya (Kajol). She is divorced to Aman (Arjun Rampal), a fashion photographer. Even after separation Aman tries to be with his children as much as he can. Aman is in love with Shreya (Kareena Kapoor) a fashion designer.

Aamir & SRK are now businessmen : Pritish Nandy

After years, the promos of a film have really excited me and I’m dying to watch it, first day, first show. No, I have no idea if the film is good or bad. In all probability, it will be awful. Two recent films in this genre were ghastly, though they made lots of money in the box office. And one of them, being a Aamir Khan film, assumed iconic proportions and got the star the moniker of being a matchless marketing whiz, particularly because he stole the thunder from under Shah Rukh’s nose. While Shah Rukh was doing his usual number for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Aamir came in from behind with his buzz cut ushers in the theatres announcing the arrival of a thunderous blockbuster two weeks later. The whole focus shifted overnight from Surinder Sahni to Sanjay Singhania. Both films were as ordinary as they come. But Aamir’s went on to become a huge hit, announcing the arrival of a new genre in Bollywood: the Tamil bloodfest.

Its success quickened the release of another bloodfest, this time with Telugu origins: Wanted. You can’t get cheesier than Wanted. It’s possibly the worst movie you have seen, shoddily scripted, badly crafted, crudely put together: an astonishing display of plywood machismo. But even that couldn’t stop it from becoming a huge blockbuster simply because Salman Superbrat swaggered through the film with his trademark cheekiness, doing nothing, just being himself. That made the movie. If, like me, you watch movies not at their premiere, or on TV, but in a typical old fashioned theatre, not even in a multiplex, you will figure why Salman works. His every strut is greeted with wolf whistles and cat calls. His every line of cheeky dialogue is loudly chanted by his fans and some of them, who are watching the film for the umpteenth time, anticipate his lines by screaming them out a split second before they are spoken on screen. This is clearly one star whose fans don’t want him to act. They want him to strut through the film, doing nothing more than delivering cheesy lines of dialogue and beating up guys beefier than him. And, O yes, they reserve the maximum applause for that one moment in a film when he takes his shirt off, either for the mother of a fight or a chalu song. In both, Salman has exactly the same slightly funny, slightly exasperated expression as if to say: Why the hell am I doing this shit?

Aamir’s the opposite. He’s intense to a fault. Every role appears to be a matter of life and death for him. He has to get it just right. His films too are exactly the opposite of Salman’s. They are so carefully crafted that every emotion, every feeling is wrung out of every scene. Often even the manipulation shows. Most times he gets away with it simply because he’s Aamir and can do no wrong. His producers too have taken on Shah Rukh at the numbers game. Huge full page ads declare box office figures that keep spiralling till the pundits finally throw up their hands in exasperation. Akshay Kumar’s producers too briefly joined this numbers game but are now slightly subdued with Akshay having signed on a few duds. But Akshay remains chilled. He knows he has an innate goofy charm that can survive all the tacky screenplays he cheerfully sleepwalks through.

Robot: Not Rahman’s best, to say the least

Sumit Bhattacharya reviews the music of Robot.

Chitti Dance Showcase, the third song on the Hindi soundtrack for the Rajnikanth-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Robot, has A R Rahman written all over it in large, sonic letters.

Despite the track crediting additional arrangements and programming to Pravin Mani, the incendiary cocktail of break-beats, drum ‘n bass, bol-scatting and a soaring string break that would befit a western classical symphony is something only the Mozart of Madras can serve up.

And macha, you can bet your last paisa that the Showcase will have some killer moves by Rajni, which generations in Chennai bylanes will pick up and to which’s Boom Boom Robo Da refrain many an Andhra guy will breakdance to.

Rediff review We Are Family 1/5

We Are Family begins on a note of confusion. As the film progresses the sense of confusion increases leaving the viewer disoriented. At the end of two hours, debut director Sidharth Malhotra’s film which is intended to be a true sob story left most of the audience dry-eyed and bored to tears.

Arjun Rampal [ Images ] is legally divorced and his kids live with his ex-wife Kajol [ Images ] (Maya). He’s been in a relationship with Kareena Kapoor [ Images ] (Shreya) for the last three years and he hopes to make it permanent. Kareena Kapoor flaunts her figure, pouts seductively both at Arjun and into the camera and reluctantly agrees to meet Arjun’s kids (Aleya, Ankush and Anjali). Which leads to a general sense of mayhem and disaster! Surely kids living in Australia [ Images ] would be comfortable with the notion of divorce and their father having a girlfriend. But no, these kids in true Bollywood fashion label her as the wicked witch.

There are the mandatory scenes of Kareena trying to build a connect with her to-be step-kids. But their interactions are jerky and seem foisted on the story. Kareena’s character is one-dimensional — either she’s showing attitude or she’s busy trying to be a doormat. But then can one blame her? Because the kids she’s interacting with are far removed from normal eight-year olds or 13-year olds. Eight-year-old Anjali (really wish Karan Johar [ Images ] would get over Kuch Kuch Hota Hai [ Images ]) never speaks, she mouths dialogues about angels and fairies and magic wands.

‘We expected better from AR Rahman!’ (FOR OFFICIAL CWG SONG)

(Rahman sir is being heavily criticised for his new song, well i havent had opp to hear it, guys have u and wats ur take, and imo why is it being compared to waka waka! but then i havent heard it is it that bad! )


AR Rahman’s anthem for the Commonwealth Games hasn’t gone down well with both fans and politicians. While the song’s online popularity is nowhere near that of Shakira’s ” Waka Waka”, which he famously claimed his tune would surpass, politicians and Games officials now want the 5 crore-track “recomposed”.

“Swagatham” aka “Jiyo Utho Heyo” which critics say has neither the pace nor the punch of “Waka Waka”, or the rousing quality of “Maa Tujhe Salaam”, has disappointed. Ever since he posted links to the tracks on his social networking pages, Rahman has been flooded with unsavoury comments. The games committee’s unhappy too. Vijaykumar Malhotra, board member of the organising committee (OC) claimed, “We expected a better song from Rahman.” Former sports minister Shahnawaz Hussain said, “I respect Rahman for what he has achieved but the track simply does not excite me. No one in the OC likes it except perhaps Suresh Kalmadi.” Hussain demanded a re-composition after Lalit Bhanot, organising secretary of the games, insisted that people would begin liking “Swagatham” if they keep listening to it. “Either it’s good music or bad. There’s no middle way to evaluate the appeal of a 5 crore track, he can surely re-compose it,” he said.
