Mumbai - Salman is not very happy with the media coverage regarding his and Shah Rukh (SRK) verbal duel.

He believes that a small issue was out proportionately highlighted into a big fight between him and Shah Rukh Khan.

The verbal duel between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan became a big media issue. And why not. The two were not ordinary people fighting out in the open, but two leading Indian film stars who are revered by tens of millions of their fans.

For Salman and Shah Rukh fans, the news was a big let down from the stars they revere so much.

Salman and Shah Rukh Khan fought like any ordinary man on the street before the eyes of hundreds of celebrities in a party that was to celebrate the birthday of none other than Katrina Kaif, the reigning deity of Indian cinema.

Now finally it looks as if Salamn is feeling repentant for the way he behaved after devouring a few glassed of wines. He was the one who initiated the fight and forced SRK into verbal brawl.

Money Hai Toh Honey Hai - Bollywood Movie Review

Motwani, Manoj Bajpai, Celina Jaitley; Director: Ganesh Acharya; Rating: *

If you wanna waste your hard earned money to enjoy with your honey seated in the corner seats then only risk watching Money Hai To Honey Hai. Where Ganesh was appreciated for his debut directorial film Swami his second attempt has horribly gone wrong.

Every character of the film is busy fulfilling their dreams. Bobby (Govinda) is a happy go lucky guy, who runs away from home to prove himself. He wants to earn a lot of money and give it back to his father. Shurti (Celina Jaitley) is a fashion designer who wants to design clothes for the common men but she doesn’t even get money for the work she does. Aashima Kapoor (Hansika Motwani) is playing a popular television bahu who has a dream to make it big in Bollywood. Manik (Upen Patel) is a struggling model who sleeps with a middle-aged fashion designer (Archana Puransingh), hoping to make it big. Gaurav (Aftab Shivdasani) is a copywriter in an ad firm who always fails to impress his boss with his ideas. Lalabhai (Manoj Bajpai) plays a man with a positive attitude who is happy even after loosing 1 crore which he had earned through a lottery.

In this way all these characters wants to earn money and one fine day they all get a phone call from a mad man Jaiswal (Prem Chopra) that he has left 1 crore rupees for them before dying. However, their happiness does not last long for the lawyer reveals that there’s a loan of 1,200 crore on the company and they must repay it and until the loan is repaid, they would be kept under house arrest. They plan to repay this loan by doing a fashion show and also get successful in earning this money.

This is the story of the film. But there are many unwanted scenes been filmed. The last half an hour is wasted in a filming a fashion show which was needless. Looking at the climax it seemed as if Ganesh didn’t had any material left to lengthen the duration of the film. As far as acting goes, Manoj Bajpai has been slightly successful in his comic role. Govinda looks in his typical bindaas andaaz. There’s no such brilliant performance from any actor to be talked about and everyone seems to be normal. Yeah, but Mukti Kapoor (Rakhi Vijan) who plays a successful television producer and spoofs soap queen Ekta Kapoor’s real life character has done a good job. But at the same time the way she shouts, more than Ekta she seems to be in a Phulan Devi’s character. In the second half of the film where they are kept in house arrest it feels that we are watching an episode of Big Boss and every character is planning strategies against each other. Manoj Bajpai’s dressing sense could easily compete with the ones worn by the actors of Bojhpuri films. We really don’t know whether Manoj himself has selected his clothes or Ganesh is the culprit behind it.

We also don’t know whether Manoj is aware of the fact that he has wasted his talent working in this film. If we look at his recent films, we feel that Manoj has started getting allergy towards good films.

Ravi Kishen has given good performance in some of the scenes. Over all it’s a mindless comedy in which Ganesh has tried very hard to make the audiences laugh but in vain. Music is ok. The main culprit behind this useless film is the writer Muazzam Beg for scripting such a film as the writer is the first person to visualize any film. And we really don’t know what excited Muazzam Beg to take the pain of penning down this kind of script. To end it, it’s on you whether you want to see this film or not. But we would advice you to save your money and rather go out for a nice dinner with your friends or family.

Sania Mirza behind Vidya-Shahid disconnect

Showbiz Desk
Mumbai: Post ‘Kismat Konnection’ Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan seem to have lost the rapport that they reportedly shared during the making of the movie. According to sources, the couple is no longer on talking terms with each other. Their much hyped bonding appears to have ended with the release of the film.

An industry insider said, “Vidya and Shahid used to tease both of them a lot on the sets of ‘KK’, and even said that they are best-suited for each other. But the couple has not talked to each other after wrapping up the shooting of the film.”

The two were seen behaving very formally at the premiere of ‘KK’, which failed to set the Box Office on fire.

Grapevine has it that the much appreciated Shahid-Vidya pair has drifted apart because of Shahid’s changed attitude towards Vidya, as he is reported to have found a new ‘love’ in tennis superstar Sania Mirza. It seems that now that the movie has released all over and there is not much requirement for publicity, the actor doesn’t want to have rumours of being involved with Vidya anymore.

Sources reveal that poor Vidya, very hurt at Shahid’s coldness, is still trying to figure out the cause of the disconnect. Speculations indicate that Sania, the new romance in Shahid’s life, has asked the actor to cut off all ties with Vidya and Shahid being the obedient boyfriend that he is has been upon it since then.

It seems Vidya has lost out to Sania in this game of love. Looks like Shahid’s again getting dominated by his lady love.

Aziz Mirza says 'Shahid and Vidya look really nice together'

Aziz Mirza started his career as a director on television when he did Circus with Shahrukh Khan in the cast. With his first feature film, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman in 1992 Aziz Mirza became Bollywood's primary purveyor of working-class romances. It took him 5 years to make his next film Yes Boss; another 3 years to make Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, and three years later came Chalte Chalte. Now 5 years after Chalte Chalte Aziz Mirza has returned with another romantic comedy Kismat Konnection. Read the interview with the versatile filmmaker.

Times have changed. How much has your cinema changed?
Change is inevitable. 'Woh khansama ka zamana chala gaya'. Nowadays it's the era of fast food. No one is bothered about the delicacies of the eating ritual. Accepting change is important. I've to make my cinema within the given parameters of change. If you notice, Kismat Konnection even has a different kind of music. I've to incorporate today's sensibilities into my own vision. The story remains practically unchanged. But the mode of narration has to change. I'm not here to make great cinema. But I do have a certain literary background and a cultural grounding. That will show up, no matter when I make a film. One change I've made is to make my new film shorter. It's just 2 hours 20 minutes long. My earlier films are longer. Today's audiences don't have patience to sit for leisurely narrations. I can't prolong moments in the narration any longer. And maybe the silences are not that pronounced. Kismat Konnection is also the first film I've shot abroad in Canada. But it doesn't matter where the story is situated. It could've been located in any vibrant metropolitan city.

Would you call it a compromise?
No. I'd call it an acceptance of reality. One needs to work around the limitations. 'Jitna chaadar hai ussi mein banana hai'. My son Haroun, Masha Allah, has contributed tremendously to Kismat Konnection and my previous film, Chalte Chalte. Very soon he'll be directing a film and I'll be helping him out. Theek hai bhai. The young generation has to be pleased. So be it. I had thought I'd make another subject. But I guess it was destined that I make Kismat Konnection. This kept coming back to me. I genuinely feel this film had to be made. Before I realized it, the film was complete.

Did you get the full co-operation of your team?
It becomes so much easier when you're working in an atmosphere conducive to productivity. I do believe when I work on a happy set, the happiness shows in the film. The positive vibes show up. I must thank my film's producer Ramesh Taurani for signing Shahid Kapoor at a time when Vivah and Jab We Met hadn't been released. The film's commercial viability wasn't that high when we started making Kismat Konnection. But I had decided on Shahid. 'Mujhe woh achcha lagta hai'. To give the film a new look we shot it in Toronto. I haven't traveled much. We chose Toronto because it seemed less expensive than US or London. Besides, I wanted the bustle of Mumbai.

People in the industry look on Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan as replacement for Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla in your cinema?
We shall leave that to the audience. Every actor has his or her own identity. Anyway, to be compared to Shahrukh and Juhi isn't a bad thing. Shahid and Vidya look really nice together. I was very comfortable working with them. They've brought in their own dimension to their characters. I had made a film about kismet. When I was 14-15, I remember my father telling me that at that age it was foolish to believe in destiny. But as you grow older you are a bloody fool if you don't believe in destiny. Whatever I've achieved today is because of many forces that I had no control over. But in Kismat Konnection, I've shown my characters believe that they can make their own destiny. That's what being young is all about. I've a fortune-teller in the film. But I've made sure she remains an ambivalent character. You never know whether she's a fraud or not.

Do you watch Hindi films?
Occasionally, I do try to catch the important ones. If someone recommends a film, I see it. Among the recent ones, I like Madhur Bhandarkar's Page 3, Tigmanshu Dhulia's Haasil and Anurag Basu's Metro. Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar was a very sincere film. That's why it worked. I've made a film after five years. After Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, I didn't want to over-intellectualize my cinema. My name is attached to Kismat Konnection. Whatever I've done for television till today, I've nothing to be ashamed of. It may not be exceptional work. But it's decent work. Where are the exceptional films today like V Shantaram's Do Aankhen Barah Haath, which have withstood the test of time? I'm just happy making logical cinema. I'm not aspiring to greatness.

Mehbooba Movie Review

‘Mehbooba’ comes across with the likes of Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Manisha Koirala. You might be wondering how come Manisha plays the heroine in 2008 when she has almost vanished from the film circuit. Well, take a closer look at a much slimmer Manisha and the drastically younger looking Sanju Baba and you will definitely figure out that the movie is maybe over 6-8years old.

The film fuses is various elements of bollywood like numerous dance sequences with enormous sets, Manisha Koirala in the midst of two men , elements of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and a battle for love between two brothers that would have worked years ago.

Synopsis…

Shravan (Sanjay Dutt), a casanova, loves being in the company of beautiful and desirable women. His charm and money gets him any beauty he desires till he meets Varsha (Manisha Koirala).

Varsha is the first girl in Shravan's life who says 'no' to his advances. Shravan is not the type who would take no for an answer. Yet, he realizes his mistake and apologizes to Varsha. To make amends, he asks for Varsha's hand in marriage. Varsha's father convinces her that he is a changed man now and genuinely loves her. After much deliberation, Varsha agrees and they get engaged. Soon, their romantic sojourn ends in lovemaking.

Varsha's dream comes to a shocking end when Shravan tells her that his love for her was just a drama so he could sleep with her. Heartbroken and shattered, Varsha feels shattered, her father dies of heart failure. She leaves New York and starts life afresh in Budapest.

Much later, Shravan's younger brother Karan (Ajay Devgan) decides to get married. The girl is Payal, who, in actuality, is Varsha. Is this a plan by Varsha to teach Shravan a lesson? What happens when Karan gets to know what transpired between Varsha and Shravan?

Director Afzal Khan handles the proceedings well but the story by Rumi Jaffrey is outdated. Also the film drawing tremendous resemblance to ‘Hum Dil Chuke Sanam’ offers nothing new from Ajay Devgan. The similar drunk sequences, the same lines of returning the heroine back to her first love etc.

Manisha Koirala who was at the peak of her career when the film was shot does well. She emotes and expresses but wonder whether today’s audiences would accept her in a wet red sari dancing across the screen.

Sanjay Dutt or our very own Munnabhai who is the ultimate good guy for all Indians after the Munnabhai series has been portrayed as a Casanova who rapes his wife and then dumps her. Well though the latter half of the film portrays a change of heart, audiences may not approve Sanjay as the Casanova. Also take a look at the lack of continuity is the film as Sanjay goes from long hair, younger looks to the present looking Sanjay Dutt. Afzal Khan can’t be blamed for that as this film was being shot in the midst of all court hassles surrounding Sanjay.

The music by Ismail Darbar is not bad with couple of tracks actually seeping into you. The album would have been a sure hit years ago.

One element that comes across as a treat in the film is Ashok Mehta’s cinematography. It’s brilliant capturing the various locales of Budapest and Rajasthan.

On the whole, the film is definitely not headed for success at the multiplex’s but caters more to the single screen audiences who still enjoy watching films with over 6 tracks and all that family drama . The film is definitely good for it’s time but falls flat in the present.

Mallika will be fifth actress to play legendary character of a Naagin.

For the first time in the history of Indian cinema a Hollywood director will soon embark on a Bollywood film. Jennifer Lynch, daughter of four time Oscar nominee and two times Cannes Film Festival winner, David Lynch, is all set to shoot Hindi language Bollywood film. Interestingly her debut venture is about a subject that has always intrigued the west. The film is called Naagin-The Snake Woman and brings back to life the ancient myth concerning the Nag-Naagin relationship.

Lynch's last film Surveillance starring Bill Pullman and Julia Ormand was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. And it is none other than Bollywood siren Mallika Sherawat who has been zeroed in on the title role of a Naagin. Mallika will be the fifth actress to play the legendary character of a Naagin. Vyjayantimala, Reena Roy, Sridevi and Manisha Koirala are the famous Bollywood actresses who had enacted this legendary character previously.

The film also stars Irrfan Khan in a role of a cop who has been given the task to pin down the Naagin and destroy her legendary powers. Hollywood's special effects wizard Robert Kurtzman has been roped in to create some unbelievable graphics for the film. Produced by Ratan Jain's Venus Records and Tapes, Naagin-The Snake Woman has Vikram Singh and Govind Menon as its co-producers.

The shooting starts in various locations and sets, in the last week of July, in a start to finish schedule. Casting is currently on for the rest of the parts in the film. Producer Ratan Jain is very upbeat about the development. Says he, "Venus films is known for its commercial family entertainers. There is lot of work happening between Hollywood and Bollywood and the film with Jennifer lynch starring Mallika Sherawat is a step towards it.

It was a wonderful experience working with Mallika Sherawat in Maan Gaye Mughall-e-Azam. And hence it was natural that we take it further. She is a thorough professional. And I hope that with this film, Venus Films will be associated with more International films in the near future.

'Shahrukh is amazingly energetic' said Aziz Mirza

One actor who is completely dependable is Shahrukh Khan. The moment the superstar learnt that Aziz Mirza wanted him to do the voiceover for Tips Films Kismat Konnection, Khan, who had just returned from the UK, not only instantly met the director but also completed the dubbing in a matter of few hours.

"Shahrukh is amazingly energetic," said Aziz Mirza. He added, "He had just returned from London. Any actor in his place would have made an excuse of jetlag and said "I want to go home." But not Shahrukh! His car took the road that led to the dubbing studio. That too at 1.30 in the night. He saw to it that he completes the voice over for my film that very night."

Interestingly it was Juhi who was to do the voice over initially. Aziz Mirza said, "Juhi plays a crystal ball reader in my film and since her character talks about life and relationships I thought she was apt to do the voiceover for the film. But Juhi felt that the content of my film was too strong and female's voice in the background would not be able to do justice to it."

Aziz Mirza said with Shahrukh now having lent his voice to the film, the circle was complete. "I am glad that Shahrukh is a part of my film. I can always depend on him. When I told him about the voice over he immediately agreed. Shahrukh did not question me even once about it."

Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na has worked wonders at box-office

Mumbai - Aamir Khan's Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na has worked wonders at the box-office by registering 100 per cent collections in the six days after its release on Friday.

This is not surprising, because even before the release, the excitement generated by Jaane Tu...- the debut film of Aamir's nephew Imran - was phenomenal and bookings began five days before the release.

It is a feat no movie so far released this year - not even the previous hit Race - could accomplish at the box-office.

Generally, the box-office collections of an average-runner tend to drop after Monday, but the collections of Jaane Tu... have remained steady.

The exact up-to-date revenue from domestic and overseas markets is not available as yet. But judging from the box-office trend, it is roughly estimated that Jaane Tu... has crossed Rs 300 million mark by Wednesday.

Jaane Tu... is written and directed by Abbas Tyrewala. Aamir, who has co-produced it with his cousin Mansoor and PVR cinemas, invested Rs 300 million in the puppy love story.

As against the spectacular box-office performance of Jaane Tu..., the Harman Baweja-Priyanka Chopra starrer Love Story 2050 has fared miserably and its collections have already started to plummet.

According to trade reports, Love Story 2050 could generate barely 30 to 40 per cent collections in the opening week.

Till Monday, Love Story 2050 has collected only Rs 110 million from all-India box-office from 722 prints - more than double that of Jaane Tu...

Love Story 2050 seems to be a loser, considering the fact that it was made on a budget of Rs 500 million and also sold to the distributors at a higher price. But the revenue it has garnered at the box-office has remained below the mark and there is little chance of this going upward in next few days.

Jaane Tu... success can be attributed to Aamir's marketing plans. Instead of spending millions on production, he spent freely on promoting the movie.

And he has been rewarded handsomely for taking the right decision. He is now laughing all the way to the bank.

This was a special episode in which Salman invited Aamir and his nephew , debut actor, Imran Khan.

Imran, revealed that his “Aamir Mamu” had not paid him for Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na and Aamir just laughed wickedly and retorted, “I am just returning the favour. I was not paid for Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.

Aamir and Imran managed to win Rs 1 crore which they donated to charity. In all it is an electrifying episode which will go on air tonight on Sony T.V.

Marriage announcement very soon: Saif Ali

By Subhash K. Jha

Mumbai - bells may not be that far away for actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor as the two are contemplating marriage sooner than the three-four-year target they had set earlier. “Oh yes, much sooner. In fact, people may be hearing an announcement from us very soon. If I had my way, I’d marry her today right here in London where she’s joined me,” Saif told IANS over phone.

“Yes, I’m ready to make it legal any time. In any case, aren’t we supposed to have gone through a secret Muslim marriage?” he says sarcastically about certain media reports.

Saif was married to Amrita Singh and after 13 years of marriage and two children, the couple separated in 2004. After he divorced Amrita, he dated Italian model Rosa Catalano, but broke up with her in 2007.

The romance between Saif and Kareena took off on the sets of “Tashan”. And Saif has never sounded so fiercely committed.

“If I’m sounding that way, it’s because that’s how I feel. With due respects to all the other relationships in life, after my marriage to Amrita and my two kids, this is the most important relationship I’ve had.”

Saif can barely contain his anxiety and eagerness to do the right thing.

“Of course, I’m anxious. You must understand this is the most important part of my life… so much so that at times I find even my career taking a backseat to my relationship. I’ve to guard against that. I must quickly learn to separate the professional from the personal.”

Saif admits it would take his children Sarah and Ibrahim a while to get used to the changes in their dad’s life.

“I’m not going to pretend that my children, Kareena and I have become one big family. They’re intelligent kids with a mind of their own. Sarah is in fact 13 and a lady herself. It would be quite a while before they are fully comfortable with the change in my life.

“They haven’t spent that much time with Kareena to know her as well as I do. But the good thing is everyone close to me realises that this relationship is for keeps, that I’ve never been more serious. Now it’s entirely up to me and Kareena to take the relationship to the next level.”

Saif is upset with reports that he has lately been crowding his ladylove with his attentions.

“Of course, I want to be with her as much as I can. My regret is we can’t be together more often. We are uncannily similar people and I’ve only now begun to understand why I need to be with her constantly. She complements me, as I hope I complement her. So of course, I try to be where she is.”

He dislikes people intruding into his personal life and says: “I understand people want to put our relationship under a microscope. They want to know about our relationship. But there’s only so much that they can know or perceive. What Kareena and I feel for each other, only the two of us know.”

Imran vs Harman this Friday

Divya Unny

Both boast of impeccable lineage -- Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan and Harry Baweja's son Harman Baweja Bollywood's two new hotties have their films releasing on the same day and the competition is hotting up.

The two are ready with their first films Love story 2050 and Jaane Tu ya Jaane na and will have to battle it out for the top spot for debut makers of the year. "I don't see the competition because the films are very different. I wish Imraan all the luck for his film," said Harman Baweja, actor. It isn't the first time that Bollywood battles began like this, rewind to the past and Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna were in the same place when Amitabh's angry young man image overwhelmed reigning superstar Rajesh Khanna.

Going down memory lane a bit further and rivalries can be traced back to Raj Kapoor versus Dev Anand versus Dilip Kumar. More recently the arrival of the two Khans Aamir and Shah Rukh remains one of the most hotly contested grounds in the film indsury as one Khan tries to best another.

But the Harman-Imran competition isn't just between two young talents it also has a lot of money riding on this them this summer.

Industry sources say that it could be to the tune Rs 80 crore on Harman with Love Story 2050 and Rs 30 to 40 crores on Imran Khan with his uncle Aamir pushing hard to ensure his success.

Rahman experiments with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Meghna Menon, Indo-Asian News Service

Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na
Music Director: A.R. Rahman
Singers: A.R. Rahman, Rashid Ali, Vasundhara Das, Benny Dayal, Satish Chakravarthy, Sukhwinder Singh, Naresh Iyer, Swetha Bhargave and Darshana
Ratings: ***

Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na is the launch pad of Aamir Khan's nephew Imraan and to play it safe, Aamir has roped in A.R. Rahman for the music. Set against a campus backdrop, the film's music gives us an insight into the other side of the composer.

Newcomer Rashid Ali can thank Rahman for a great debut as he croons to Kabhi kabhi aditi, a romantic fun piece. The track doesn't sound much like a Rahman composition, but is nevertheless an enjoyable song as Rashid's vocals gives it a youthful touch. Lyricist Abbas Tyrewala ensures sure his lyrics don't disappoint either.

Putting a complete halt to the success of the previous track is Pappu can't dance. The title itself makes you wonder if it is worth hearing. Well, not really. It is a high paced number that comprises of bizarre thumping music with extra beats. The song may stick to its theme, but as an audio number, it doesn't fare well. As far as singers go, Rahman usually picks good artistes for his albums, but his current bunch for Pappu.. does not impress at all.

Jaane tu mera kya hai helps the album pick up once again. This track has a repeat value and can pull anyone into its sombre mood. Sung by Runa Rizvi and written by Abbas, the sad and emotional number revolves around the female protagonist and will definitely find a place among listeners.

Sukhwinder Singh renders the second version of the track that revolves around the male protagonist. In spite of being a regular with these kind of songs, he doesn't sound repetitive. Lyrics are touchy and poetic, courtesy Abbas.

Finally, we come across a typical Rahman number that doesn't sound monotonous but is in fact one of the best songs of the album. Nazrein milaana nazrein churaana has an array of singers but doesn't commit the same mistakes as 'Pappu...'

The long list of newcomers that forms part of the album finally gives way to the composer himself. Rahman croons another very-unlike-himself track, Tu Bole Main Boloon, yet the song doesn't upset. It belongs to the genre of jazz with saxophones, violins and pianos thrown in. It carries with it a very contemporary, western feel.

Rahman dives into Indi-pop next for Kahin to. Listeners get a breather in the form of Vasundhara Das, whose brilliant voice is being heard after a long gap. A slow paced number, the song also has Rashid's voice and encompasses the ingredients of a slow-moving, romantic track. However, Abbas's lyrics are not so impressive.

Rahman's attempt at experimenting with new and different sounds for the album may not have resulted in chartbuster hits, but the attempt is worth hearing. Like Naresh Iyer in Rang De Basanti, the surprise package of this album is Rashid.
