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.

Review: 7 Khoon Maaf

Verdict: Festival material,passable 
"K" Rating: 2
Watch: strictly DVD

7 Khoon Maaf is a dark film with some lighter shades. Its somewhat like a novel by Ruskin Bond, which takes you in its own world - a dark, sinister, ominous world of Susanna.

Susanna, a beautiful lass who over the course of 35 odd years gets married seven times in search of true love.However the marriage proves pernicious to each of the hapless husbands who die untimely and mysterious deaths. Susanna is the prime suspect - enigmatic and yet irresistibly charming  -A deadly combination for any man. 

 Despite all the blood-shed one feels sympathy for Susanna and empathizes with her.The climax aka the ending of the film is a welcome surprise and adds freshness, new meaning to the pleonastic storyline.  After about the 3rd husband, the film gets repetitious - the audience knows what to expect next.The only thing which keeps one watching further is to find out who the next husband is and why/how he dies. The reasoning of why Susanna prefers murdering the husbands instead of separating or divorcing them is also unconvincing.

Debutant Vivan Shah (Naseeuddin Shah's son) makes for a good narrator and is fabulous in his emotional role.Konkona Sen Sharma is a good in her guest appearance.Now, for Suzzanna's seven husbands - Neil Nitin Mukesh makes a stunning impact as the General and infact delivers career best performance.Annu Kapoor is flawless. Irrfan Khan and Naseeeruddin Shah are germane in their roles. Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko impresses and amuses with his hindi.John Abrahim could have done better.

Music by Vishal Bhardwaj is strictly okay. The Indian version of the Russian song Kalinka, "Darling" is the most memorable and is already a chart favorite."Priyanka Chopra ko 7 khoon maaf" for her stupendous acting ability. Infact her award winning performance, could be the sole reason one should watch this film if you're a PC Fan.

First Look: 7 Khoon Maaf

This black-comedy thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. It is based on Ruskin Bond's book Sussana's Seven Husbands. It stars 7 men in the leading roles namely John Abrahim, Nasseruddin Shah, Irfan Khan, Vivaan Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh Annu Kapoor and a Russian Actor. It is set to release on Feb 18th, 2011 with Priyanka playing a negative role.

India's most eligible bachelor Salmaan Khan's Being Human fashion show at the HDIL Fashion Week had the Bollywood Beauties flocking - both in attendance and as participants.

Review: anjaana anjaani

Verdict: eh, okay 

"K" Rating: 2/5

Watch: wait for DVD

The promos looked promising, stylish and oh so hip 'n young. Despite the hot 'n happening pair of Priyanka and Ranbir, Anjaana Anjaani does not set the screen ablaze.

The story of two unhappy people who meet on a Bridge while attemting suicide,seems to be inspired by French flick A Girl on the Bridge. The romance blossoms as they journey across America to fulfil their "wish list before I die" reminds one of The Bucket List. Even with that said, the movie tells the take of how the protagonists learn to take life seriously and to face problems head on. Music by Vishal-Shekar is good - Anjaana Anjaani title track and Lucky Ali's Hairat Hai are especially good and are enhanced with Ravi K. Chandran's exceptionally good Cinematography.

 One can't help but notice that the main leads are supposed to be depressed, suicidal and jobless, yet they manage to look as though they have stepped off a fashion runway.They both seem to have cash for renting boat, go to pubs and have fuel money to drive across continental USA. Eventhough comical, the attempts of suicide by the characters through various means does not seem to send the right message to the young audience.

If you are a Priyanka and/or Ranbir fan do watch the film as they definitely look good! Ranbir essays emotions very well. This movie had the potential but unfortunately due to the screenplay, it comes across as synthetic and fizzes out.
