Salman ka funda
| | ||
| Like his character in the film WANTED, Salman Khan has his own fundas in life. Be that about love, films or education. Salman Khan seems to have got all the answers. Recently, while promoting his film VEER, Salman Khan had a word of advice for kids who take extreme steps like thinking about suicide in case of poor academic performance. The funda of this Khan is simple. "Live life to the fullest because it`s a rare gift. Don`t panic if you underperform, you will always get a second chance." Talking at length about his poor academics, the moody Khan was feeling bad about the recent reports of kids committing suicide owing to parental and peer pressure. Salman`s BEING HUMAN is thinking of taking up such issues and spreading awareness to stop kids from taking such extreme steps. Salman, who was trying to put across the message of being VEER in real life had a special message for kids. The macho Khan wants all kids to take up challenges like his character in the film and not bow down to societal pressures. With Salman sharing his self belief with kids, let`s hope these fundas work equally for the young brigade as it has worked in the stars` personal life | |||

3 IDIOTS and PAA are Bollywood choices of 2009
2009 has come to a close and the verdict is out. Bollywood is unanimous in declaring 3 IDIOTS as the movie of the year followed by PAA. While AVATAR is the closest contender from Hollywood and KAMINEY too follows close, it`s the antics of Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan, the biggest `idiots` of all, which have won hearts all over the country. Naturally, the feeling is that of ecstasy and euphoria as industry comes together to hail 3 IDIOTS.
"3 IDIOTS was the best film of 2009", declares Kareena Kapoor who is also the (only) leading in the film and shared screen space with Aamir Khan for the first time in her career. Similar are the sentiments shared by Neetu Chandra who is nowhere connected to 3 IDIOTS but still feels that it was the best that 2009 had to offer. "I loved 3 IDIOTS because it is an inspiring film. It`s not just an Aamir show all the way. Whether it is Maddy (Madhavan), Sharman or Boman - everyone has done so well in it. It is an amazing film with some fantastic music."
On the other hand Imtiaz Ali, whose own LOVE AAJ KAL did find good appreciation amongst the youth, is rooting for AVATAR. He loved 3 IDIOTS but when it came to cinematic experience, he believes that AVATAR was the best movie of 2009.
There are other film makers as well who believe that movies other than 3 IDIOTS have also made a mark in 2009. One such film maker is Sanjay Gadhvi, director of DHOOM series, for whom PAA was the movie of the year. "It`s the best film of the year because I am a huge fan of Mr. Bachchan. It was very gutsy of him to act and produce a film like this. This was a brilliant performance from not just him but also Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan", he says.
Sophie Choudry, who is happy being an actress, singer and performer, doesn`t wish to pick only one film. She agrees that 3 IDIOTS is her favourite in 2009 but she also loved a couple of completely diverse films that boasted of an offbeat theme and an unconventional narrative. "I loved both PAA as well as KAMINEY", says Sophie, "Of course 3 IDIOTS deserves all the appreciation since Raju Hirani is an absolute genius and the entire cast was superb in the film."
If 3 IDIOTS, PAA, AVATAR and KAMINEY found some honourable mention, as repeated by writer Mushtaq Sheikh who found each of these films as `complete paisa vasool`, there were also a few other choices with WANTED also coming trumps. Co-director of JASHNN, Raksha Mistry, loved the film and this is the reason that she stated, "I liked the presence of a retro man in a lead role after an overdose of metro sexual men. Yes, 3 IDIOTS leads from the front but the significance of WANTED can`t be ignored."
A statement that finds (obvious) nod of agreement from the film`s producer Boney Kapoor, "I have heard great things about 3 IDIOTS but I haven`t seen it yet. However, WANTED is my favourite because it came at the time when everybody was making films for multiplexes and overseas. Somehow we had forgotten heartland cinema. Success of WANTED is a good case study for cinema business in today`s times. Yes, it`s a fact that multiplexes bring in substantial revenue but one cannot ignore single screen business as well."
On the other hand Rituparna Sengupta confesses that she was floored on seeing AVATAR. "It was just an awesome film", she gushes, "I haven`t seen PAA and 3 IDIOTS though which are supposed to be two of the best films this year." Amongst English films, there were some takers for 2012 as well. Says Sonu Sood, "It was the best film of the year. I felt it was very entertaining and technically a very well made film."
Minissha Lamba too came with a unique choice as she went gaga over DEV D. "I loved 3 IDIOTS but then I also loved DEV D. It was a fabulous movie", she smiles. However, Tusshar Kapoor didn`t have any alternate choice to state. "Is that really a question that which movie is the best of 2009? Come on, obviously, there is going to be just one answer - 3 IDIOTS."

Abhishek Bachchan: AVATAR too is a Hindi film at heart
| | ||
| While James Cameron`s epic action adventure AVATAR has become a huge success around the globe, it has also shown its magic at the Indian box office with theatres running houseful in the second week of its release. Not only has it become a hot favourite among the Indian audiences but our very own Bollywood fraternity can`t stop praising director James Cameron`s vision & expertise in making such a revolutionary film. When noted Bollywood filmmakers were recently asked about their favourite film of the year 2009, the response was unanimous as almost each one of them picked AVATAR. Director Karan Johar said, "I actually have four favourite films this year. KAMINEY, PAA, 3 IDIOTS and AVATAR. All four raised the bars for filmmaking. But while the first three were for me aspirational, AVATAR was unachievable." While Sanjay Gupta exclaimed that the question was redundant for anyone who has seen AVATAR, Apoorva Lakhia called it an out of this world experience. Ram Gopal Verma who was taken aback after watching the film said, "AVATAR is by far one of the best films I`ve seen in my life. James Cameron is God. In fact, he has gone a step ahead of God by building a world even God couldn`t imagine. After watching AVATAR, I felt I belong to a primitive filmmaking world." Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali claimed that he was impressed with the concept of the movie & said, "AVATAR is my favourite film of 2009. It made an important point about our civilization in a subtle manner and with the most powerful audio-visuals." Its not only filmmakers but several Bollywood actors have also been swept away by the immersing experience of AVATAR. After watching the film at the premiere, Abhishek Bachchan immediately `tweetwed` his views about the film. "It`s not a film. It`s an experience!!!! James Cameron is Hollywood`s answer to my favourite director MANMOHAN DESAI!! He could pull of anything. AVATAR too is a Hindi film at heart. It`s definitely a "must watch" for the experience" he said. Imran Khan recently wrote extensively about the film in his column for a leading English daily saying that AVATAR was "Great fun, really enjoyed it...a full-on melodramatic Bollywood pichchar`!". Looks like B-Town is surely blown away by AVATAR! | |||
Priyanka Chopra: PI is sweet, simple and honest
| | ||
| During last couple of years, Priyanka Chopra has worked in big films like Madhur Bhandarkar`s FASHION, Karan Johar`s DOSTANA, Vishal Bharadwaj`s KAMINEY and Ashutosh Gowariker`s WHAT`S YOUR RAASHEE? This is why when she is seen in a film with Uday Chopra as her co-star and Jugal Hansraj as the director (notwithstanding the fact that the film arrives under the banner of Yash Raj Films), one wonders what made her choose PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE at this stage of her career? "The very fact that PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE is so sweet, simple and honest", Priyanka is quick to respond, "Instead the setting is just so beautiful and I love my character which seems just so happy but in real life, it is a complete mess. People around her feel that she is leading a perfect life but the fact is that she is going through a lot where she has to handle her job as well as home. Still, there are just no complications involved." This reminds one of DOSTANA where she was the centre of attraction of as many as three men - Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Bobby Deol. "Well, one can say that though the difference is that in DOSTANA, I was this real confident sexy young woman while here I am this beautiful girl in the town. However, it is this entire USP factor of stating that `pyaar` is indeed `possible` between two contrasting personalities that brings the fun element on", she goes on to describe. | |||
