Star system has helped Bollywood flourish: Zoya Akhtar

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar strongly believes in Bollywood’s star system and feels it has helped the industry build an identity within the map of global cinema.

Remainder of( the film) industries like Europe and other countries don’t have stars and their (film) industries are dying,” Zoya told IANS in an interview.

Having directed film stars Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol and her younger brother Farhan Akhtar, Zoya said India has survived Hollywood because “we now have our language; we have our own style, so our audience would wish to peer a Shah Rukh Khan and never Tom Cruise”.

“Our star system has made our industry grow. So I definitely have numerous respect for that and that i understand that,” the 40-year-old said.

Then, who consistent with her is a movie star?

“They are called stars because it doesn't matter what the film is, they get a gap. Stars pull people. But having said that, stars need to cater to their audience by doing what has worked before. So that you can’t make too many films with them because they (stars) don’t wish to experiment. They would like that safety and that's the problem,” said Zoya.

“In this case, Aamir Khan is somewhat different,” she said, on her experience of working with him in “Talaash”, which released Nov 30.

Zoya co-wrote the film with director Reema Kagti, experimenting for the primary time with the suspense genre.

“My challenges were to maintain the tale engaging, give depth to the characters and in addition do something about their emotional chord. Our audience relate to emotional quotient. So, if you happen to don’t connect them emotionally, they won't watch (a film),” she said.

Zoya, the daughter of poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar and script writer Honey Irani, has written and directed “Luck By Chance” (2009) and “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” (2011).

Sajid was very happy to just accept the London Mayor's invitation to shoot in London and has decided that 2 of his forthcoming biggies namely Kick and Housefull 3 could be shot in London.

The Mayor of London was ecstatic when Sajid agreed whole-heartedly. "I loved the truth that Sajid Nadiadwala shot two editions of his film Housefull in UK and is coming back to London to shoot the third film within the franchise. I'M also excited that he plans to shoot his maiden directorial venture Kick besides in London."

Excited about again shooting in London, Sajid Nadiadwala said, "I REALLY LIKE to shoot in London and the truth that I'M back to shoot my third and fourth film there's proof that where is superb and i've no complaints. I just wish that they reduce the pound rate compared to the rupee"

Kick and Housefull 3 can be shot at the cheap of around 35 million pounds within the UK that's over Rs 300 crores in Indian rupees. Sajid, who might be shooting his maiden directorial venture Kick starring Salman Khan in London, is developing the script in that manner along with his team of writers led by Chetan Bhagat. The filmmaker wants a far swankier search for the film and opted for the larger and plusher locales of London.

Talaash – Movie Review

Film: “Talaash”Cast: Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shernaz PatelDirector: Reema KagtiRating:

Aamir Khan never ceases to surprise viewers. In “Talaash”, he does so quite literally. The succinctly written, complex screenplay, smoothly interlays between the police investigation and private emotional turmoil of the characters make “Talaash” a nail-biting thriller.

The plot a few police officer Surjan Singh Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) investigating a high profile case of film star Armaan Kapoor’s accidental death keeps you riveted. Alongside the principle plot, one gathers that Shekhawat and his wife Roshni (Rani Mukerji), have lost their eight-year-old son Karan in a freak accident in a lake, for which Shekhawat blames himself and lives in guilt.

His investigations constantly lead him to Kareena Kapoor, a prostitute with an even heart, who acts because the ace informer for Shekhawat. Kareena as Rosy, has shades of her earlier “Chameli”, although she makes a conscious effort to be different. She is efficacious and convincing, touching your heart with the innate goodness of her character, despite her circumstances.

The mystery shrouding the case, unravels gradually in a delicately written tight script, without a loopholes. The film is entirely unpredictable, not conforming to the standard method to thrillers in Bollywood. This one is obviously different and keeps you guessing till the very end.

The climax brings you to the threshold of your seat, but leaves you satiated. Because the case unfolds, you get your answers from the characters on celluloid. But clearly, Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, the scriptwriter duo, come up with a lot more than simply that. They take you thru an entire self-exploratory journey and produce you back replete with answers. Farhan Akhtar’s dialogues in colloquial parlance are witty and unleash several underlying messages.

Ram Sampath gives an apt background score, consistent with the flavor of the film and if anything, only enhances the viewer’s experience. Music within the film otherwise is nothing to jot down home about, but you’re definitely not complaining. The plot and performances leave no room for frivolities.

Rani Mukerji in her de-glam avatar, is right to her character because the distraught mother. Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Taimur, the lame Man Friday within the brothel doing odd jobs, excels in a perfectly written role. Realistic performances and get ups of all of the characters, add to the ingenuity of the plot.

The cinematography, though simple, captures the essence of Mumbai. The locales of the town are wonderfully depicted, making those, a personality within the film, in preference to a trifling backdrop.

Devoid of the standard Bollywood masala and gimmicks, this one is a pure treat. Aamir Khan’s fans apart, “Talaash” has the facility to grip all cine-goers.

Sonakshi’s latest film “Son Of Sardaar’ has also hit the Rs. 100 crore mark in India, and he or she says the sensation of a movie’s commercial success is great.

You can’t get it wrong with passion-profession combo: Karan Johar

He's keen about his work and believes within the power of cinema, the explanation why he mostly manages to hit box office bull’s eye, says Karan Johar, the successful director and the person behind Dharma Productions.

“I am an excellent believer in cinema. I LIKE films. I LIKE the magic of the flicks. And that i think whilst you love the movies, you create the movies,” Karan told IANS in an exclusive interview.

This is right of everyone who's involved together with his production house Dharma Productions, said Karan.

“I think the explanation why we do what we do is because we all within the company are very cinema. It’s not an afternoon job for me; it’s a keenness job for me. So, in case you have both passion and profession walking hand in hand, you can’t really go wrong,” he said.

Karan’s passion was evident in his films “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”, “Kal Ho Naa Ho”, “My Name Is Khan” and “Agneepath”. Known for making glamorous and designer family dramas, he feels his films may be able to discover a perfect match between intelligence and commercial elements.

“It really will depend on the ethos of a filmmaker and what she or he desires to communicate. We produce what we believe in, however it might be of any type and be part of any genre,” he said.

“While we produce a ‘Student Of The Year’, we have now also produced a ‘My Name Is Khan’, which had its own impact and relevance or a ‘Kurbaan’, which has some roughly social relevance as a part of its plot. So while there's entertainment, there may be also relevance and we balance it throughout the company,” he said.

The latest yardstick to measure a film’s success in B-town is whether it's a part of the Rs.100-Rs.200 crore club, but Karan believes a film’s success must be measured at the basis of its longevity.

“I think if a movie doesn’t last in longevity and in people’s memories, it's not a movie of importance or relevance. Box office numbers are eventually your report card within the business. But I BELIEVE what’s really important is it is advisable to make a film, that's remembered. So, to go away the film behind within the minds of a cinegoer have to be every filmmaker’s objective,” he said.

He is very chilled out in regards to the latest fad of remakes.

“I am pleased with remakes. In case you may give your personal edge and slant, then why don't you? I FEEL there's a dearth of writers, but I don’t think that’s why people make remakes….it’s also your sense of creativity and what you desire to do with it. Remaking it in barely the similar way isn't any fun. Revisiting it in a definite way and adjusting it to the fashionable times always makes it interesting,” he said.

Discussing his own experience with “Agneepath”, he said it was more of a tribute to his father Yash Johar.

“I desired to pay a tribute to a movie which my father had produced and Mukul (Mukul S. Anand) had directed fantastically. I WISHED to ensure that we make it in a special way, which I FEEL in,” he said.

‘Dabangg 2′ soundtrack lives as much as ‘Dabangg’ spirit (Music Review)

Film: ‘Dabangg 2′Music Director: Sajid-WajidLyricists: Jalees Sherwani, Irshad Kamil and SameerSingers: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shreya Ghoshal, Mamta Sharma, Wajid, Keerthi Sagathia, Sonu Nigam, Tulsi Kumar, Sukhwinder SinghRating: ***

Chulbul Pandey is back with a bang. The soundtrack of “Dabangg 2″ is a musical delight with five original songs and 3 remixed tracks, composed by the powerhouse duo Sajid-Wajid. The songs are penned by three different lyricists.

The album kicks off with “Dagabaaz re”, a romantic number true to the spirit of “Tere mast mast do nain” from the unique 2008 film. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan adds the Sufi touch, while Shreya Ghoshal mesmerises along with her melodious voice like always. The song is unassuming and its lilting composition instantly hits you. One hopes it might be a visible treat as well.

Next up is “Pandeyjee seeti”, which seems like a follow-up to chartbuster “Munni badnaam hui”. It features Malaika Arora Khan, and her magic is anticipated to work again! Queen of item songs, singer Mamta Sharma croons to glory on this number and she or he is supported well by Wajid and Shreya Ghoshal.

The song also takes a cue from yesteryears’ hit “Chalat musafir moh liyo re”. Definitely not of the best tracks within the album but is good nevertheless it. also has a remix version, that is racy but doesn’t work too well with the listener.

Getting into the desi mode, “Fevicol se” is a regular crude item number with a view to surely get a variety of whistles, especially because it have been picturised on Kareena Kapoor. The lyrics are raunchy and a little bit hilarious, but would definitely work with most sections of the audience. Mamta renders the Bhojpuri feel and is joined by Wajid and Keerthi Sagathia. It also has a remix version which has some good techno beats and it's as entertaining because the original.

“Saanson ne” changes the mood of the album and gets the listener into the romantic mode again. There may be nothing special in regards to the track because it appears like every other romantic primary. gets hugely disappointed, especially because it has Sonu Nigam behind the mic. The composition is ordinary or even with the support of Tulsi Kumar; this duet fails to transport you at all.

“Dabangg reloaded” rounds up the album. Sajid-Wajid have tried to recreate the magic of “Hud hud dabangg” and so they be ready to succeed to a limit. Sukhwinder Singh, together with his high octane energy, manages to create a stir. A heavy use of percussions could also be commendable. The usage of the saxophone in spite of everything may be quite nice and doesn’t seem out of place.

There is, however, nothing too great in regards to the remix versions of the song. It's definitely a passe and may be avoided.

Overall, the album scores well with the unique tracks as most of them entice the listener. It’s however a miss so far as remixes are concerned. If one ignores that and considers the large fan base that Salman Khan has, there is not any denying that despite its shortcomings, the album will still be a success. – IANS

Sanjay Dutt, alongwith his sisters Priya Dutt and Namrata Dutt held a press conference yesterday to announce that they've decided to provide a brand new direction to the Nargis Dutt Memorial Charitable Trust (NDMCT), run by them, that was serving the fewer fortunate patients for the past 30 years. This initiative could be to concentrate on paediatric cancer, platelet donation, palliative care and renal dialysis centre to boot.

Whilst Raveena Tandon gets able to take her new film Shobhna's Seven Nights, a couple of rich bored columnist-author who gets right into a relationship with a struggling actor moonlighting as a gigolo, to the Indian Film Festival at Houston, the film appears to be getting itself right into a series of sticky situations as a result of close resemblance that some characters bear to real-life figures from the Indian entertainment and publishing industry.

To start out with, Raveena Tandon's character is partly inspired by Shobha De, a incontrovertible fact that the director verifies. He admits that the nature have been "expanded right into a colourful scandalous avatar" which can not go down well with Ms De.

Now we come to understand that the nature played by Rohit Roy of a dashing rakish glamour photographer is modelled on Atul Kasbekar.

The director admits that Ronit's character is indeed according to Kasbekar, "It's true. Once I wrote the nature of a goodlooking glamour-photographer who hobnobs with the sexiest models and actresses, I'LL bring to mind only Atul. Actually after I prepared the idea that posters for Shobhna's Seven Nights, I put Atul's picture in them. Later once I signed Rohit for the role, I saw an uncanny physical resemblance with Atul Kasbekar. So that you see, Rohit isn't just playing a personality modelled on Atul, Rohit even resembles Atul."

When asked about his on-screen avatar, Atul Kasbekar appeared amused, "THAT IS the primary time I'M hearing about it. I'M HOPING the reel portrayal is more interesting than the true".

For the time being a 3rd character played by Anupam Kher, playing a publisher named 'Harry Davidar' of 'Walrus Books' who gets right into a serious controversy, also bears an unmistakable resemblance to real-life publisher David Davidar.

David's nephew has contacted Sudipto asking that his uncle's name be changed within the film. Says the director, "David Davidar's nephew Jonathan did contact me to switch Anupam's character's name. Nevertheless it was too late. There has been nothing I MAY do about it. Whether it's Shobha, Atul or David, I'M HOPING they keep in mind that the characters in my film are in line with them just because these are iconic names within the entertainment and publishing industry and also you just can't break out from it."
