We know you are anxiously waiting for the latest Bollywood buzz about the new movies, the stars, and the industry. Let us start with the latest releases in the Bollywood last week.
Bhool Bhulaiyya started showing the positive signals last week creating curiosity among the fans of Akshay Kumar. Though the movie is a remake of the super hit Malayalam movie Manichitrathazhu, the entire plot of Bhool Bhulaiyya is refurbished in order to accommodate the hilarious scenes involving the villain-turned comedian Akshay Kumar. To join the ‘physic’ mental doctor in the movie are Paresh Rawal, Rasika Joshi, and a number of other characters who too are haunted by the supernatural force present in the ancestral home. Akshay Kumar, who enters towards the first half of the movie as the psychiatrist to treat Vidya Balan, however, steals most part of the story with his witty remarks on every member of the family, and at the same time, quizzes the source of each mystery that surrounds him in the haunted house intelligently. The theme of the movie, however, focuses on a more serious topic, the split personality explained in Para-psychology. The movie has got a number of songs from Pritam. In short, the movie gives a lot of hopes with the elements of comedy, suspense, drama, and music.
Laga Chunari Mein Daag, another movie released in the last week, however, does not show up as a prospective one. The movie did not show much response to the expectation of Pradeep Sarkar. The movie fails to impress the audience because it covers one of the most hackneyed themes of the earlier Mumbai-based sagas. Except the show-stealing acting put forth by the splendid Rani Mukherjee, the earthly Konkana Sen, and the smart Abhishek Bachchan, the movie offers nothing to satiate the senses of an average movie watcher. The nickname of the movie is ‘Journey of a woman’. However, the journey of the leading woman in this movie does not yield positive results as you would expect. You may call it the out-dated wine packed in the new bottle and without any taste. However, the movie offers a sweet melancholy title song that would pull you to the golden days of the Indian music. The actor-turned-singer Meera Vashist succeeded in creating the mood of the film through her melodious voice.
The much-talked-about Jab We Met is stealing the show in the popular reality shows. Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are frequent visitors of the popular TV studios as ambassadors for the movie. It was Kareena who started occupying the seats in the TV shows when she launched the soundtrack on Sa Re Ga Ma, the favorite reality show hosted by Zee TV. The latest news is that Shahid has confirmed to be a guest in one of the episodes of Nach Baliye, the famous dance reality show from Star TV. Do you think Sony will sit idle? Not at all! Shahid is going to be there at the Jhalak Dikhlaja, very soon.
Foot note: If the controversial couple meets at one of these shows, it would add more momentum to the show… Guess who’s going to do it. In one of these shows, they are going to be together at one episode. Impossible, you may think! But it’s going to happen soon.
Here is the update on the Oscar-nominated movie Ekalavya. After the news that the selection of the movie has been dragged in to the hands of the law, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of USA has asked Film Federation of India (FFI) to give a response by October 17th to reconfirm its seat in the Foreign Language Movies category.
The Bachchans are known for their diplomatic approach to issues surrounding them. Abhishek Bachchan recently opened his mind saying that there is no difference between Rani Mukherjee and him. For him, Rani is his second favorite actress after Aishwarya whom he would love to work with. Surprisingly, the movie Laga Chunari Mein Daag had Jaya Bachchan in one of the leading roles, and she too did not have any problem dealing with Rani. In fact, Abhishek is interested to co-act in more movies with Rani. Is it truly a sincere expression? We doubt. Meanwhile Abhishek Bachchan also expressed his view about Aishwarya’s coming back to Bollywood. He ruled out all chances of Ash’s quitting Bollywood post-marriage.
The rewritten saga of the emperor Akbar, named Jodhaa Akbar will soon reach theaters. The trailer of the movie was unveiled by Ashutosh Gowarikar to the media on October 10. The essential joddy, Aishwarya and Hrithik, however, did not turn up at the event. According to Gowarikar, Jodhaa Akbar and Mughal-E-Azam differ in many aspects. Mughal-E-Azam had the aging Akbar, in which the legendary role was played by Prithviraj Kapoor. In Jodhaa Akbar, Hrithik is playing the role of young Akbar. The movie will send shock waves among the fans of Dhoom 2¸ for none of them would expect the hot couple in such a classic role.
What is in offer for the future? Sanjay Leela Bhansali is planning to co-produce two films with the popular T-series. The official announcement is not yet made. There are many surprise elements in this union. Bela Sehgal, Bhansali’s sister, will take up as debut director; Adnan Sami will enter into the role of an actor.
Once again Bollywood is proving that there are no enemies in cinema. Subhash Ghai throws the surprise through one of his upcoming movie in which he chose Salman Khan to play the leading role. The movie is named Yuvraj in which Salman Khan plays the leading role against Kareena while Anil Kapoor plays another important role. It is going to be released by 2008-09. Another movie named Black and White is also on offing from Ghai in which Anil Kapoor is playing the leading role.
Hope we will be able to come up with more interesting news from Bollywood for next week. Till then bye!
