Way Fun

There is surely something charismatic about Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif’s onscreen pair. Their chemistry is simply magical. However, off late, flops like De Dana Dan and Tees Maar Khan are dampening people’s expectations. But, we guess, the sexy on screen couple are all set to revive their magic with the sequel of Namstey London.

Last Friday’s release Tanu Weds Manu has taken a decent start at the box office while last week’s release 7 Khoon Maaf is going down.

Salman Khan’s performance in Dabangg is turning out to be the best from any male actor in Bollywood last year. Just days after winning the honors at Star Screen Awards, Salman again bagged the best actor award at Apsara Awards last night.

B-Town was abuzz with the news that Karan Johar is launching Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter Alia Bhatt and David Dhawan’s son Varun Dhawan in his next.

Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar starrer film Tees Maar Khan had a huge opening and collected Rs 50 crore from its first week. It was one of the most hyped films of 2010. But despite all hoopla and humdrum, it fell flat thrashing all expectations in the second weekend.

Mumbai, “Tanu Weds Manu”, which will see the fresh pairing of Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan, was initially titled “Manu Weds Tanu” but the name was changed at the lead actress’ behest.

Director Anand Rai felt “Manu Weds Tanu” was an appropriate title, but Kangana who plays Tanu in the film, insisted that the title should be “Tanu Weds Manu” and not “Manu Weds Tanu” because the narrative unfolds from Tanu’s point of view, said a source.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was a hit and had made a grand opening. After the film’s release it earned a good profit in terms of capital and in the box office. The CDs and the DVDs were sold out like hot cakes and the film conquered the cinema halls for a good period of time. The attraction of the film was its star cast. With all the big stars of Bollywood and the expensive locations where the film had been made, as well as the awesome sets of the film had engrossed a huge audience. It was one of the big budget films of Karan Johar which stole the hearts of audience because of its nostalgic and sensitive family story.

Now Karan is thinking of making a sequel of this film which is clear from Big B’s blog. A reporter found out that with all the stars the sequel can be made and the story will be based on the life of the characters with their growth in business, the misunderstandings which will lead to differences in relationships within the family, splitting among brothers and so on. With this news, the fans of Karan Johar films are waiting for the film to get started and to be finished with great success. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, the leading ladies Jaya Bachchan, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor will also be a part of this sequel.

New Delhi, Dec 23 (IANS) The censor board has awarded the A-certificate to 'No One Killed Jessica' - based on a real murder - without any cuts and its makers Thursday hailed the decision saying they were happy to be able to take the story to the audience.

Farah Khan is all praise for the Tees Maar Khan a.k.a Akshay Kumar. Farah is spellbound by Akshay’s dedication towards work as he sometimes even used to turn up at 4 ‘o clock in the morning.

The film’s shooting, she says, was completed in 58 days, thanks to the dedication of our Khiladi Kumar. Farah has credited Akshay Kumar entirely for the way TMK has shaped up.

Well, now that the film is only a couple of day away, Farah would be hoping that Akki’s dedication gives her a hat-trick.

Hello Darling reveals the conditions of three glamorous and intelligent women. These women are the victim of a lecherous boss. This is a heroine oriented film as there is no hero in the film as such. However the story is all about working women. Also what all they have to face in the office has been showcased in a light manner.

Mansi and Savitri (Celina Jaitley,Gul Panag and Easha Koppikhar] share a house. They are employed at a posh designing office in Mumbai. Hardik [Jaaved Jaffrey] plays the boss. He is a play boy, although married to a Gujarati house wife, Purvi. This play boy natured boss always addresses all the females as “Hello Darling.” What all he does to promote the females need to be watched. Asawari Joshi plays the secretary to Hardik. What happens to Hardik one night when he is kidnapped by these girls? And later how he lands in the Nari Sanghatana, a pati sudhar samiti, which is run by Seema Biswas to tame down lecherous husbands forms the crux of the story. Rocky a wannabe Elvis Presley [Chunky Pandey] who plays Celina’s boy friend appears in the film of and on.

However Director Manoj Tiwari has tried to rehash the remake of not one but many films- a tamil film”Magalir Mattum, a film which never released. Randhir Kapoor ‘s film “Ladies Only where he plays the lecherous boss . Undoubtedly the director could not mix and match plots from these films exuberantly, resulting in a messy tale. Comedy in the film does make one laugh. Gul Panag,Seema Biswas and Jaaved Jaffrey have performed up to the mark. They could not help do wonders with a badly rehashed script. Celina and Koppikhar could have toned down at a little lower pitch. Chunky Pandey’s role seemed to be like a worthless bauble. Nothing much to perform. Sunny Deol’s last minute entry is no saving grace for the film.

Music by Pritam reminds one of the yester- year tunes from the number.”Aa Jaane Ja…. Music sounds hummable and soothing enough to the ears.

All and all do not waste time on this week-end watching this boorish flick.
