Agneepath: Chikni Chameli
After "Sheila Ki Jawani", Katrina Kaif now returns to the screen as "Chikni Chameli" in a marathi mulgi avatar. The song sung by Shreya Ghoshal is an item number from Karan Johar's upcoming flick Agneepath. The remake stars Hrithik Roshan as the memorable Vijay Dinanath Chauhan aswell as Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt. The song "Chikni Chamali" is the hindi version of the popular marathi number Kombadi Palali from the film Jatra. No surprises here as the music directors for both films are the duo Ajay-Atul.
Agneepath is due to release on January 26th, 2012, Katrina's item number will definitely turn up the heat this winter! Check out official preview below:
Review: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Verdict: Great!
"K" Rating: 3.4
Watch: Theater
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Zindagi...)is Fresh, Fun, Full of witty one-liners, has relate-able characters and situations which add to the "realism" of the film.Zoya Akhtar and Reema Katgi have breathed a fresh air to the age old "sseize the moment" philosophy via this movie.
It tells the story of three best friends on a bachelor trip across Spain, fulfilling a pact they had made long ago of each selecting an adventure sport and participating in it together. Friends on a journey of a lifetime with the stunning backdrop of Spain - find themselves and each other whilst letting go makes a rejuvenating watch. However on the downside, Zindagi.. misses out on the depth of characters as portrayed in its close relative Dil Chahta Hai. Nonetheless it has its own free spirited character, with the meandering pace of a road/travelogue movie.
Farhan Akhtar,Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol - all are in full form, lighting the screen with their hot bodies, wit and on screen camaraderie. Katrina Kaif adds charm to her role but has little scope to perform.Kalki Koechlin befits her rule superbly and plays it to the hilt.Naseeruddin and Deepti Naval are a welcome delight onscreen.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have done it again by accentuating the film with noteworthy music. "Ik Junon" is a memorable track along with "Senorita" sung by all 3 protagonists. Farhan's poetry adds depth of thought and soul to this flick.
Business wise it will do well in multiplex screens. It caters to the educated youth of today with urban sensibilities.To truly experience and savor Zindagi... catch it while it is running in a theater near you!

Review: Tees Maar Khan
Verdict: Timepass
"K" Rating: 2.5
Watch: DVD/Theater
Tees Maar Khan (TMK) is one outrageous, over-the top, farcical comedy film by Farah Khan. Don't try and find any logic or rationale in this movie - as with any other Bollywood comedy flick. TMK is the Bollywood adaptation of the Italian film "After the Fox".
TMK has everything in excess, loud characters, lack of emotions and an outrageous script.By loud I mean, literally loud, the entire film has a high decibel level and it appears everyone is shouting at each other in the second half. The first half definitely is much better than the second. Slapstick comedy and aboriginal couplets of Akshay make up for the laughter quotient. The whole village sequence reminds one of Billu Barbar. There are references of Steven Spielberg and Manoj Night Shyamalan which cater to class audience but the masses may not get the joke. Its interesting to note that although some jokes appeal to the multiplex audience, they would disapprove of the loud and crazy drama on the other hand the masses/single screen audience would be receptive to the loud and crude drama but may not comprehend some jokes. Instead of "Jai Ho" its "Hai Ho" for TMK's incessant jokes.
Akshay Kumar has done an outstanding job as the shameless con artist Tabrez Mirza Khan, the role seemed to be tailor made for him. Katrina Kaif as an aspiring actress Aniya, looks fabulous and plays the role of the dumb bimbbette to the hilt. Akshay Khanna plays the Oscar-crazed superstar well.
Foot-tapping "Sheila ki Jawani" and Katrina's dance on it has already made history and taken the nation by storm. Sonu Nigam has sung the title track in 54 voices and Salmaan Khan makes a special appearance in the song "Walla Re Walla". Vishal-Shekhar along with Sirish Kunder have definitely lived up to expectations and more with each track.
Final Verdict? Its a brainless comedy, watch it for timepass but definitely does not live up to the hype. Its decidedly not even close to Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om or Main Hoon Na. Yet it will recover the investment solely due to the holidays and no competition for 2 weeks.
HDIL Fashion Week: Being Human
Review: De Dana Dan
Verdict: Okay /Timepass ."K" Rating: 2.8 /5
Watch: DVD
When watching comedy flicks the rule of thumb is to leave your brains outside the theater and not to find logic. This rule is mandatory for De Dana Dan as it is pure mindless entertainment which promises plenty of laughs.Just enjoy the one-liners, slapstick comedy of the 27+ confused money crazed characters. It is no Hera Pheri by any standards but its a decent attempt by Priyadarshan. The music is good, especially"Paisa Paisa" by RDB.
The biggest stumbling block of the film is its storyline. The movie starts off with an Akshay track and 1hr into the movie he disappears (gets locked up in a closet) giving way to numerous other tracks which unleash chaos and confusion. It seems the director did not have time to tie up all the stories so he literally submerses them in water (the hotel where they are floods) with an Akshay story wrap up. No doubt the credits say "Filmed" by Priyadarshan and not "Directed".
The tagline "The greatest entertainers are back" and the poster are misleading as there is no comedy scene between Akshay, Sunit Shetty and Paresh Rawal together. However the chemistry of Akshay and Sunil Shetty as friends is great.De Dana Dan boasts casting nearly all the comedians that Bollywood has to offer so all hell had to break loose on screen. Akshay, Sunil Shetty, Archana Puran Singh and Rajpal Yadav are outstanding in the film. Chunky Pandey has a notable come back.
Review: Blue
Verdict: OK, timepass adventureStar Rating: 3/5
Watch: Dvd/Theater
"Blue" is the most awaited film of the year, and rightly so - its the first of its kind to ever hit Indian Cinema. The cinematography, scale, under water sequence coupled with breath taking locales and action/adventure will make you think its a Hollywood Flick(Fool's Gold/ The Deep). Now that said, the storyline itself isn't strong, Anthony D'Souza (director) seemed to have got side tracked from it. The ending is loose and seemed to be rather amusing. Only about 25% of the film is an under water sequence. Music is good "Fiqrana", "Chiggy Wiggy", "Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai" are already doing good on the charts. The title track at the beginning of the movie reminds one of the 007 movie tracks.
Story: Sanjay Dutt (Sethji) lost his father finding "Lady in Blue"- the treasure ship. He now works for Aarav (Akshay) in the Bahamas with his doting wife (Lara). Pan over to Bangkok
where Sam (Zayed) is a bike racer who has gangster (Rahul Dev) after him. Fate drags the brothers to the shark infested waters yet again, bringing them face to face with his fears and untold fortune.
Watch: Fantastic bike races on the Ducati's, Lara is looking her fabulous self. Katrina Kaif has an interesting guest appearance as a biker chick. Kylie Minogue's "Chigy Wiggy" song starts off good but then looses out. It could have been done better - considering the hype around it. Sanjay Dutt needs to get in shape or retire! But its definately a Blue wave this Diwali weekend at the box office.
Salmaan Khan: Being Human
Salmaan Khan promoted his NGO - "Being Human" at the HDIL Couture Fashion Week in Mumbai by a especial fashion show. Outfits of top designers such as Rocky S, Shane & Falguni Precock,Rahul Khanna, Rohit Gandhi, Ashish Soni and few others were chosen to be part of the show - all sporting the tag line "Bring Human".Seen on the ramp and show were biggies like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Govinda,Sanjay Dutt, brothers Sohil & Arbaaz, Sushmita Sen, Katrina Kaif. Also spotted were Malika Arora Khan with sister Amrita Arora Ladhak, Shridevi with her husband Bony Kapoor and kids, Kajol.
Interestingly all the gowns featured in the show were Salmaan Khan paintings transferred onto fabric. However the black n while gown Katrina Kaif wore was a Falguni Preacock creation hand painted by Salmaan Khan himself!! (Painting of a Saint).Salmaan has never painted a dress for anyone before, Katrina must feel special.
A memorable evening with glittering stars, good music (from upcoming coming movies Blue/Mein Aur Mrs Khanna/ All the Best) supporting a good cause. After all its all about "Being Human".
The Being Human Foundation is an NGO supporting the cause of education and health care for the underprivileged children.
You can support the cause by buying:
* Being Human Tshirts/clothes - from the fashion show.
* Being Human Watches
