Trailers

Back after along time, ya ya ya, who cares, anyways, saw 3 trailers today of upcoming releases. Love Break Ups Zindagi, Hum Tum Shabana, Tell me o Khuda. Dia Mirza's production LBZ, hero is Zayed Khan, picture flop yaar , what was his last film as a hero, do you remember? Trailers are ok types, usual stuff taken from here and there movie sof bollywood, tarilers itself say that they trie dto deal a sensitive subject but without RND film ban gayi.

Hum Tum Shabana, Tushar Kapoor has re thoda sa talent , but usko akele dekhne jaayenge,noooo. Shreyas rocks even in trailers and the sexy Minisha Lamba, it will be a full paisa vasool film as per the trailers

Tell me O khuda, y should I go and watch a film that focusses on romance , comedy, action thriller excusively By Esha Deol. It seems Hema Ji was inspired from The Tomb raider or actually Angelinaherself, she sells there yaar, yaha Esha ko as an actor establish to hone do, and the hero Arjan Bajwa. Ach aye sab thik hai, the point is the story is a mixture of Rekha's MOther 98, Asli baap kaun hai and slightly resemble "That Girl in Yellow boots".
TGYB also is about search of a father by a girl but uska trailer kadak tha yaar. We are partial for Anurag I think, Anurag you listening, Assistant ki jagah khali hai kya......

The mobile generation

Why do we so worry for our mobiles, like a precious one, why do we panic when we find it around, why are we so addicted to it, why is it so continuously near to us, more than our dear ones, why have we connected it to our status and consider it as our status symbol. Also why does it know all our secrets better than anyone else in the world. Has mobile today become our personality report. Why are so eager for it to ring and hear to it continuously. ha mobile increased the communication and or it has lfet no topics to speak face to face. has mobile helped increase the confidence to flirt or make a relationship or an affair so one knows what we are upto. Why do we have security codes for our mobiles, as if its a safety locker and want no one to open it. Why everyone today in the trains, buses has ear plugs into the ears listening continuously to music on mobiles, continuously messaging or chatting. Do we even bother whether it affects our brain, heart or body, even though we know it may. may be we will care when our generation becomes old and see many illeffects , but who cares and why we nee dto give a damns hit to it. We enjoy life because of the mobile, we can socialise due to mobile, we can be alone and we can be with everyone, due to mobile, we can be mobile because of mobile. Do you think soon exams and syllabus will be on mobiles and pen will be a antique thing.Will sms typing be considered an rt in future? Why are mobile gaming companies eaning so much and we are ownloading so much, why have we forgotten the original cards and just play virtual cards. Why is technology ahead of yus and we are running behind it. why do people strive so hard only to buy a single mobile, why are they so expensive almost at the rate of gold. Will we get the habit of hearing "Work from mobile in future" now that we do work form home? How does a mobile gives us the right to fool a person about being at the wrong place even though we arent there. Why has mobile made "waiting for someone" an irritative process. has mobile really increased the no. of relationships or its has created a lot of stress and irritativeness in our lives. Leave it , why do I am even thinking this, will get back later ,my mobile is ringing ;)

Dev D....... a must watch
This is one film that brought me back 2 blogging after so many days , otherwise I used 2 blog mainly for some cult films.But this one , I not only liked it but I can say it has been creatively made, it is nnot that the story of devdas has been copied directly and made into a film, only the basic story is d same , everything other has been done with a new perspective,even the songs are not like normal Hindi films, new singers have done a good job.Also hats off to Anurag Kashyap. This is the first film I went to see without watching any trailers of the film (tv kharab hua hai)Just saw the wallpapers. Went with a great risk hoping that it should not be a "NO Smokin II ",
but ya it was really different.THe concept by Abhay Deol shows that The guy is really creative also different from his Deol brothers and Uncle.He dares to do scenes without a tshirt or shirt in the film even though he has a normal guy body structure with a lot of hair over d body and undoubetdly hes a gr8 actor.
Story - Great storyline, the characters in the story were more intense dis time than the normal
Devdas films, I was discussing the characters with one of my friend who is a film journlist
and we came to a conclusion that the real hero of the film was Chanda who accepted Dev
as a looser and was still happy with him. He taught him how to live even though the
world betrays you. Both Dev and Paro were on a ego trip and so couldnt properly express
their love to each other . Chanda was stuck on the stigma that shes a whore at the end of
d day whereas Dev restricted Paro to financial barriers and Dev himself was stuck on his
ego . The end of the story which was a twist was a nice one.
Cinematography- It was "fatte". We can see the director has said thanx to Danny Boyle,
because some scenes were shooted similar to "Trainspotting" related to hallucination.All
other scenes were shot differently from normal Hindi films. Especially the adult content
only had talks no sex scenes depicted, then also it gave a feel on the silver screen.
Especially the scene where Dev gets up after drinking alcohol, for the loo and his face is
shown drowned in water....marvellous.the sex scene in the fields, there s no one on the
screen except green grass for 2-3 mins den 2 we had sitties in the theatre .
Direction- Hats off to the director. It was a comeback for Anurag Kashyap after Black friday
There were sitties in the theatre not only for the dialogues but also der delivery,for all 3
characters. First half was like it was directly a talk from the young genearation's heart or
may be dialogues were written by hearing the love talks at bandstand.The best part was
that the sets were nicely put up with good use of colours. Songs were nicely put forward
situation wise. Even though the actors are new the director has done his work by
making them act llike great actors,putting them in the skin of the character(no need for
Abhay Deol).The best part is that the film is made in such a way that film is liked by all
KINDS of audiences. the best dialogue which I liked was by Sattu"London jaake tera
taste kharab ho gaya hai.........." to Dev. Seriously we need more films like Dev d to be
made.

"Salim Langda......?"

The title written above is half written, only to create curiosity.The whole title of the film which I saw is "Salim langde pe mat ro".The film is produced by NFDC.The title in itself creates an image that may be its a b-grade or a comedy film, but for them who haven't watched the film I would say that its totally a different film, a film which even the next generation needs to see. Days back we I and my colleagues were playing dumsheras(hope the spelling is right) in our office(and hope that my boss doesn't read it) bcoz we were playing during office hours,at that time I remembered this film, I went back home and bought its vcd the same evening and I didin't knew it would be a worth watch.
The story revolves around a guy called "Salim langda" who is a "gali ka goonda" played by Pawan Malhotra(whom we have seen in Don,Jab we met & My name is Anthony Gonsalves) with his two chelas played by Ashutosh Gowariker and Makrand Deshpande.These three are Muslim guys living in a slum area of Bombay.They are struggling to live their day to day life by doing illegal jobs,stealing goods and selling it to their permanent vendor Lala.Salim's father has lost job as his mill where he works gets closed (the mill shown is Phoenix mill,where nearby I work today) Salim has a sister who he loves the most and also lost a brother Javed who was a well eduacted electrician.The story goes on showing fights between local gangs that is one of Salim's and another one.Salim loves a kothewali .Riots between Hindu and muslim creates hatred for Hindus in Salim's mind but things change when Aslam who is a newspaper editor and who is going to marry Salim's sister discusses with him the true way to live life and not fight for religion saying that fight for religion is useless, a game played by dirty politicians.Also one day a big bhai called Vilas whom Salim respects dies away in a shootout and the third thing a documentary shown in Salim's area on Bhiwandi riots, how people killed each other for a silly reason.This all incidences make Salim change his life and he thinks to be like his brother javed and live a clean life .He refuses his politician boss to do the illegal work he used to do earlier and gathers money for sister's wedding and starts job under a mechanic, also tells his chelas to leave the line,but as they say this line has only incoming no outgoing.On the day of weding his politician boss sends Rajan,Salim's local gang rival to kill him,where Salim dies, the film ends and so the title says "Salim langde pe mat ro"
I don't want to create a controversy but we can say that all the main characters in the film are hindus but they have played the muslim characters very well especially the lead Pawan malhotra, the way he has carried his body language in the whole film as a local goon is superb.
Few dialogues in the film as one said by Tom alter who is shown as a small time druggist and is a foreigner,has nothing to do and lives in that slum area says"Marne ke liye Hindustan se achhi jagah nahi hai" and also the one said by Aslam which describes that people live together by similar thoughts, aims, behaviour not by the same religion If it was so then Bangladesh and Pakistan where both Muslims wouldn't have separated ,are marvellous.All and all the director Saeed Mirza has done a fantastic job .I think that as audiences are waiting for the new films like "Janne tu Ya Jaane na" and "Love story 2050 " ,same time social films like "Salim Langde.........."
should also be made to keep people awre of their surroundings.

Sooraj ka Satvan Ghoda

I have not blogged since 3 months ,due to projects, exams and den d jos search, today on a relaxed mood of sunday like a middle class man,i thought instead of having a nap in the afternoon why not blog about the film I saw recently on VCD by moserbaer,even Ithough I am an advertising student I do not want to promote moserbaer ,but as a film buff I czn say it is providing good films on low cost.......k let it be

I wanted to tell about "Sooraj ka Satvan Ghoda" ,a film by Shyam Benegal .The film revolves around various characters of life, people use to say tht Ram Gopal Verma had this new idea of showing 5 to 6 stories in a single film
but you can see tht Shyam Benegal had already disclosed thi idea in his films like this one.This film has 4 to 5 stories who has the common hero Rajit Kapur.The film revolves around characters of a village aroun 70's or 80's,how they think,what were the customs, rituals and the social issues on that time.
Rajit kapur has an affair with almost 3 heriones in the film ,so vevrytime he speaks about the different perspective of love in each story.Actors like Rajit Kapur,Amrish Puri as usual, Pallavi Joshi, neena Gupta,Rajeswari and Raghuvir Yadav have done great jobs,but the film can be said more of a festival film than a commercial film.
The cinematography of the film is good,no experiments a perfect film institute angle,some scenes are really shot very good like one of the horse carriage, yhe horse's footsteps and the end climax scene where Neena Gupta returns,Music by Vanraj Bhatia suits the atmosphere of the film
It can be said that You have to use your brains as the film moves ahead, its not a David Dhavan comic flick, you have to know why is the title of the film named as such.
Any suggestions,plzzzzzzzz comment

Taare Zameen Par



I would say that its the best directorial debut of the year.Aamir Khan has once again proved that he is a perfectionist,he can not only act perfectly but can direct at the same level.He has not centered the film on himself but shown the problem of some special children through the child who is the hero of the film. The child's acting is marvellous,no artificiality,the way he likes to remain lazy,not do his homework ,eat without washing hands,fighting against liars is shown in a proper way.Even though Aamir's work starts after interal but he has come out as a more matured actor.He has correctly used his stardom to show the problem of special children in front of everyone which was done by Sharukh Khan in "Swades" and not in "Om Shanti Om"(let it be,but it was really an entertainer).

People do clap in theatres at some of d scenes specially when Aamir goes to the Ishaan's home and convinces his father by showing him Chinese letters.Also when Ishaan is left back in hostel,the emotional song Maa was too nicely shot.Also the way Aamir tries to take Ishaan in confidence and make him understand and learn things in his own way.The paintings at the end was excellent.Aamir has brougth Taare Zameen Par by making the film.

Khoya Khoya Chand is a movie as its name suggests,it has khoya somewhere on the box office.The main thing I thought that a more matured actress for the heroine's role should have been chosen by Sudhir Mishra,to give more better looks and act to give a feel of 60's.Shiney has done a good job as he does in Sudhir's films.The second heroine of the film had a more better look of the 60's.She suited the role very much,Rajat Kapoor was marvellous in his role.
According to me Mr. Mishra mainly has shown how casting couch is a tradition of film industry from d 60's instead of showing how films were made in those times,what were the things around on sets,the type of cars,various superstars.But he has cleverly given a whole look of 60's to the film with an excellent music by Shantanu Moitra.The film actually goes at a very slow pace sometimes boring the public and the way the characters use to change ladies I sometimes thought whether I was watching "Ajnabee".
On net I also found out that there's an old film "Khoya Khoya Chand" with
Dia mirza and a new hero,never seen the film.Overaal Khoya Khoya Chand was a good film that could be watched atleat once or ONLY once.
