Agneepath Remake: Hrithik-Priyanka to play most intense passion!
Agneepath Remake: Hrithik-Priyanka to play most intense passion!: Karan Johar promises passion play like never before between Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra in his upcoming remake of Agneepath, which he will produce.
The movie will have Hrithik reprising the role of the angry man immortalized by Amitabh Bachchan in the original film by Mukul Anand. Priyanka, however, will not play a nurse, Big B’s love interest in the original played by Madhavi. There have been rumours that Priyanka’s character has been changed from a nurse to a prostitute, but Karan Johar denies it.
What he confirms emphatically is that there’s going to be a smouldering chemistry between Hrithik and Priyanka in the film.
“The new 'Agneepath' is first and foremost an intense love story. There was love between Priyanka and Hrithik in 'Krissh'. But here we want an unparalleled intensity between them. You've never seen Priyanka and Hrithik get so intense with anyone before,” Karan Johar is quoted as saying by a news agency.
The original film, made in 1990, was produced by Karan’s dad Yash Johar.

Dhobi Ghat Movie Review - Kiran Rao's next film
Dhobi Ghat Movie Review - Kiran Rao's next film: Dhobi Ghat is a film that will get diverse reactions from the viewers. Some will no doubt snore through it, some will keep shifting in their seats impatiently, and there are still others who’ll be glued to the screen, unable to blink, totally sunk into the layered drama, the melancholy unravelling against the gentle, unnerving thrum of the most unique city in the world.
“Meri hamsafar, meri tawaif, meri jaan.” That’s how Arun (Aamir Khan) describes Mumbai. A reclusive painter with a mercurial temperament, he shifts into a run-down house in Old Mumbai to seek inspiration that he unexpectedly finds in the abandoned video diaries of a newly-wed Muslim woman Yasmeen (Kriti Malhotra), the Mumbai diaries recorded as letters to her brother back home in UP but never sent for reasons that remain obscure until the very end.
Shai (Monica Dogra) is a banker from the US, holidaying in Mumbai with her Canon digital still camera with which she hopes to record the daily lives of the aam aadmi - the dhobis, the hawkers, the perfume sellers, the night-watchmen. Munna (Prateik Babbar) is a dhobi with a dream to become an actor and a heart that throbs for Shai.
Among these four distinct characters, writer-director Kiran Rao weaves - warp and weft - a tale of intersecting lives, a tale of unrequited love, of one-night stand and the regret on the morning after, of hopes dashed and inspiration found, of loss and, ultimately, death. Dhobi Ghat is a film that calls for a different sensitivity from the viewer. It’s not just content being another clichéd collage of vignettes of the city’s streets and squalor, though there are many, thanks to the black-and-white snaps by Jyotika Jain. Nah! It leaps beyond that and takes a plunge into the lives of the characters, depicting their anxieties, desires and loss with nearly brutal realism but an empathetic heart.
It’s surely not a film for the suckers of speed - the folks who trip on imaginative shot compositions, slick editing, brisk pace punctuated with quip-heavy dialogues and more such screenplay-savvy gimmickry. Kiran Rao puts the story above all. Simply and quite craftily she unravels it with no sense of urgency or desire to overwhelm the viewer. She takes her sweet time to let the story take roots on the screen, the tempo of the screenplay being just right for a film of this genre. It ambles on for a good hour and then slowly, creepily, explodes in its dying minutes into a denouement that’s sure to give you a lump in the throat.
Performances are simply top-notch, though I felt a bit shortchanged by the Hindi-dubbed dialogues. Kriti Malhotra and Prateik Babbar are the pick of the lot. Kriti’s transformation from a curious newcomer in Mumbai into a dejected, depressed housewife ruing her marriage is unsettling, to say the least. Prateik Babbar’s gauche manners, rawness and his irresolute demeanour bring to life the character of the starry-eyed dhobi but the bashful lover that he plays. Aamir Khan’s performance hinges mainly on his character’s looks and expressions, for Arun is a guy who speaks in monosyllables. Monica Dogra’s affected Hindi accent does grate on you for a bit, but her natural performance, more than her swoon-inducing natural beauty, makes up for it. And then there’s the haunting score by the Argentinean composer Gustavo Santaolalla, giving the film a definitive identity.
Some viewers will doubtlessly whine about the film’s pace. Others will grunt at the repeated regressions into the video diaries of Yasmeen. Agreed, but keep in mind that Dhobi Ghat isn’t a film made with an eye on the box office. It’s not designed to please everyone. It’s a very personal ode, a melancholic one at that, to the city and the souls it houses. It's a film made from the heart, a film that restores a movie buff’s faith in the cinema devoid of any vain opulence or pretension of art.
My advice: watch it if you happen to love cinema and think that there’s more to it than entertainment, thrills, vanity, and ha-ha-he-he.

As they find themselves drawn into compelling relationships, the city finds its way into the crevices of their lives, separating them even as it brings them closer...

The film has music by Gustavo Santaolalla and cinematography by Tushar Kanty Ray.

‘My Love Story’ Movie Stills: Salman Khan-Kareena Kapoor’s next film
‘My Love Story’ Movie Stills: Salman Khan-Kareena Kapoor’s next film: Salman Khan is on a roll. He has started working on his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri’s home production My Love Story and is paired opposite style diva Kareena Kapoor. The movie is a romantic comedy but takes an emotional turn in the end.
My Love Story is the remake of the hit 2010 Malayalam film Bodyguard starring Dileep and Nayantara. In fact, its Tamil remake Kaavalan with Vijay and Asin, which got released last Friday, is getting an overwhelming response from the audience as well as critics.
We hope that the Hindi remake with Salman and Kareena will also prove to be a great family entertainer like the original. Though Salman-Kareena can’t be called a hit on-screen pair, Atul was convinced to sign Kareena because the heroine of the film has a bubbly persona. So, who else than the chirpy Bebo?
So friends, 'My Love Story' is most eagerly awaited film of Salman Khan, do you agree with this?

Patiala House Music Review: The entertaining tracks
Patiala House Music Review: The entertaining tracks: “Patiala House”; Music Directors: Shankar Mahadevan-Ehsaan Noorani-Loy Mendonsa; Lyricist: Anvita Dutt Guptan; Singers: Mahalakshmi Iyer, Hard Kaur, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Shankar, Earl, Master Saleem, Vishal Dadlani, Suraj Jagan, Alyssa Mendonsa, Hans Raj Hans and Richa Sharma; Rating: ** 1/2″Patiala House”, Akshay Kumar’s first outing of 2011, has music that is not something uncommon, yet most of the songs are entertaining and bring out the signature style of composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
The album offers 12 songs, including remixes.
“Patiala House” music commences with “Laung da lashkara” with Mahalaxmi Iyer, Hard Kaur and pop singer Jassi - who has made an appearance after a long time - singing it. This is the title track and quite apt for a film that is named “Patiala House”. Full of Punjabi energy and flavour, the song includes a few rap lines as well.
There is a remix version of the number in the album.
After the first song, the album takes a turn and comes up with poignant track “Kya main jagoon” crooned by Shafqat Amanat Ali. It has a long prelude before the vocals begin, but then it is evident that full focus is on the vocals and music becomes secondary. The song changes pace quickly, which is very interesting and cuts the monotony. Shafqat’s voice is praiseworthy and adds weightage to the song. on the whole a beautiful number that strikes a chord with the listener.
It has two more versions - a regular remix and an unplugged version where the tone of vocals is slightly low. These are equally likeable.
Then comes in “Rola pe gaya” that has Mahalaxmi, Shankar, Earl, Master Saleem and Hard Kaur behind the mike. In spite of so many singers, the song fails to make a mark. Initially, it entertains a little bit, but soon the listener loses interest in the not-so-fresh composition. Even the lyrics don’t impress.
The remix version has nothing great to offer either.
Next song “Aadat hai voh” brings in some respite. Sung by Vishal Dadlani, it has a pleasing guitar strumming in the beginning that sets the mood. Then the rise in the tempo with strong orchestration gives the song an edge. It’s a nice, moderate-paced track that grows on you.
“Baby when you talk to me” is the only pure love song in the album, sung by Suraj Jagan and Alyssa Mendonsa. With Hindi and English lyrics, the foot-tapping song is hummable and engaging but you do get a feeling of dejà vu as the composition doesn’t sound too fresh.
This one too has a remixed version.
The next track “Tumba Tumba” is a qawali by Hans Raj Hans and may appeal to those who love qawallis, although the song seems to be more of a situational number.
In the end a Sufi song enters the album. “Aval allah” is also a situational track and might be effective on screen. Sung by Richa Sharma with minimal music, the song does have its high moments.
On the whole, the music of the album is neither bad nor brilliant. Some songs are entertaining and some need more punch. It’s time for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy to reinvent themselves.

Box Office Report: good opening of 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'
Box Office Report: good opening of 'Yamla Pagla Deewana': It was a forgone conclusion that Yamla Pagla Deewana, featuring the trinity of true-blue Punjabis -- Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol -- would set new records at theatres in Punjab.
Little surprise then that the film opened to an exceptionally good response at theatres in the north Indian state. Even in New Delhi, which has a large Punjabi population, YPD attracted a lot of footfalls to single screen theatres.
The movie, however, saw an average opening in Mumbai, particularly at multiplexes, with just about 40 percent occupancy. Single screen theatres still had a better response. The south belt too did not lap the movie as enthusiastically as the north.
Yet, YPD is expected to have a decent first weekend and if it picks up in Mumbai, might even go on to be a hit.
On the other hand, there were few takers for Turning 30, starring Gul Panag and Purab Kohli. The film opened to an average response of 20-30 percent at multiplexes. Since the film is mostly in English, it’s aimed at multiplex audiences only.
Last week’s release No One Killed Jessica is keeping steady at theatres.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana' Movie Review
'Yamla Pagla Deewana' Movie Review: When the Deols come together in a film that spoofs the best of their cinematic work, expect an unfettered celebration of dum, daru, dileri and a lot of dhamaal thrown in to boot. Hand pumps are not uprooted, nor maudlin suicide speeches actually given from atop water tanks. But there are moments of self-spoofs aplenty that bring a somewhat cracked grin to your lips.
Director Samir Karnik’s Yamla Pagla Deewana is a film that, if made with restraint and a lot of editing, might have been a laugh riot. As it is, it is an overlong, tiresome watch, with the Garam Dharam taking the back seat and the young gun Bobby Deol leading the show.
Bobby Deol? Now, what’s one memorable moment from him that can be spoofed with us not failing to notice the gag? Big Brother Sunny Deol has had his ‘dhai kilo ka haath’ and ‘tareekh pe tareekh’. Papa Dharmendra has had his desi daru guzzling sher who pummels the opponents like they were mosquitoes. But...dear me!...Bobby? May be the waxed chest pansy from Dostana. Eh?
So it’s tragic that most of YPD hinges on an actor who yet has to give one memorable cinematic moment, while Sunny, who comes up with the best performance of the trio, is relegated to being a second fiddle, flexing muscles and helping the young bro in love.
Dharam Singh (Dharmendra) and Gajodhar Singh (Bobby Deol) are two con men in Banaras. Paramveer (Sunny Deol) is an NRI from Canada who comes to Banaras to find his long lost brother and father, the aforementioned swindlers. Together the trio make quite a team - Dharam and Gajodhar going about their con games with an added muscle power from the whisky guzzler of a Jat from Canada.
And then, Gajodhar falls in love with a Punjabi kudi (Kulraj Randhawa) who has an overprotective trigger-happy brother (Anupam Kher) with an alarming temper. The bullet or the babe? Gajodhar is in a fix when Param comes to the rescue. The action shifts to Punjab with the scenic backdrop of sarson ke khet followed by a lot of girl-and-her-brother wooing leading to a Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge style wedding drama spiced with a lot of confusion and free-flowing slaps!
It’s an unabashed celebration of everything Punjabi and you’d be a twit to expect some refined humour here. Crass jokes fly thick and fast. Some work, many don’t. But when you see the three Deols grooving to Dharmendra’s signature dance from the ‘Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana’ song from the 1975 comedy Pratigya, some of your money is sure vasool-ed.
Director Samir Karnik’s Yamla Pagla Deewana is a film that, if made with restraint and a lot of editing, might have been a laugh riot. As it is, it is an overlong, tiresome watch, with the Garam Dharam taking the back seat and the young gun Bobby Deol leading the show.
Bobby Deol? Now, what’s one memorable moment from him that can be spoofed with us not failing to notice the gag? Big Brother Sunny Deol has had his ‘dhai kilo ka haath’ and ‘tareekh pe tareekh’. Papa Dharmendra has had his desi daru guzzling sher who pummels the opponents like they were mosquitoes. But...dear me!...Bobby? May be the waxed chest pansy from Dostana. Eh?
So it’s tragic that most of YPD hinges on an actor who yet has to give one memorable cinematic moment, while Sunny, who comes up with the best performance of the trio, is relegated to being a second fiddle, flexing muscles and helping the young bro in love.
Dharam Singh (Dharmendra) and Gajodhar Singh (Bobby Deol) are two con men in Banaras. Paramveer (Sunny Deol) is an NRI from Canada who comes to Banaras to find his long lost brother and father, the aforementioned swindlers. Together the trio make quite a team - Dharam and Gajodhar going about their con games with an added muscle power from the whisky guzzler of a Jat from Canada.
And then, Gajodhar falls in love with a Punjabi kudi (Kulraj Randhawa) who has an overprotective trigger-happy brother (Anupam Kher) with an alarming temper. The bullet or the babe? Gajodhar is in a fix when Param comes to the rescue.

'Yeh Saali Zindagi' Movie Trailer and Preview in an one Eye

Life, which is made up of strange circumstances and the heady mix of life and love which can lead to even stranger circumstances, is the story of “Yeh Saali Zindagi”. Interestingly, the title of the movie was chosen after an online poll on Facebook, where the original title, “Dil Darbadar” lost out to “Yeh Saali Zindagi”.
Irrfan Khan and Arunoday Singh (Arun and Kuldeep respectively in the movie) do strange things for the women they love – and that makes up the crux of the movie’s story.
The movie’s trailer does not reveal too much but piques our interest enough to create a certain degree of curiosity in our minds. The trailer does not let us know too much about the story, but it does look like there are enough ups and downs in the film, to give us a roller-coaster ride when we finally get to watch the full film
Star Cast: Arunoday Singh, Chitrangda Singh, Irrfan Khan, Aditi Rao Hydari, Saurabh Shukla, Sushant Singh
At here we catch a trailer of this film. Watch It:
'Force' Movie First Look - John Abraham's power of muscle
'Force' Movie First Look - John Abraham's power of muscle: John Abraham has a body to die for and that also makes the star just perfect for any action film, but the handsome boy of Bollywood was never seen in a hard-core action movie after his villainous act in Dhoom.
So, here is John for the first time showing his muscle power and eight packs in the movie Force which is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.
So what is John doing in the film? He plays an encounter specialist; check out the gun tucked in his jeans. The movie is the remake of the Tamil film Kakha Kakha and is directed by Nishikant Kamat of Mumbai Meri Jaan fame.
John says the movie is his first pan India film after a long gap, and it is not just the action which is good in the film, the romance is also beautiful. The movie’s main lead opposite John is the chirpy Genelia D'Souza.
The first look of the film that can easily remind many of Salman Khan’s action hit Wanted.

'Hostel' Movie Preview in an one eye
'Hostel' Movie Preview in an one eye: Anyone who’s been to college, or even to a boarding school, has witnessed ragging. Sometimes, what begins as banter turns into something altogether ugly when ragging is taken to an extreme. Director Manish Gupta’s film Hostel tackles this theme.
It is a film about a student played by Vatsal Seth who enters a notorious hostel and is ragged by his seniors. It's not just about one incident but a string of incidents. It shows how students are tortured and harassed in the name of ragging.
Hostel stars Tulip Joshi as Seth’s love interest. Mukesh Tiwari plays a supporting role.
Director Manish Gupta, known for writing hard-hitting scripts like Sarkar and The Stoneman Murders, says about Hostel: “There are many suicides that occur in Indian hostels due to ragging wherein students are beaten up, stripped, paraded naked, starved, tortured, molested and even raped by their seniors. Since victims of ragging find it humiliating to report sexual abuse to their parents or others, most ragging-related crimes go unreported. HOSTEL deals with the serious issue of ragging and through this film I want to show the world what actually a victim of ragging goes through.”
The film has music by Virag Mishra.
‘Hostel’ will release on January 14.

Emraan Hashmi's 'Murder 2' is an edgy thriller film!
Emraan Hashmi's 'Murder 2' is an edgy thriller film!: The serial-kisser of Bollywood, actor Emraan Hashmi has already started shooting for the sequel of one of his most sensual hits “Murder” (2004) and hints that this instalment would be a more “edgy thriller” in which he plays the role of a serial killer.”We have started shooting. Our main schedule will be in Goa. There is quite a bit of work left. I think we will be looking forward to release it this year,” Emraan told us
“We are taking it away from the space people are actually thinking it’s in. It taps the simple angle of lust and all that was there in the first part. But it doesn’t dwell primarily on the area of lust. It takes into more edgy thrill space,” he said.
“Thrill was there in ‘Murder’ but people associated only with the sensuality, probably that kind of boldness. This is bold in a very different way. All the presumptions what media and people have would be probably put to rest when they see the film. We never had films with serial killers. It deals with those different areas. That’s what makes it new and unique,” Emraan added.
Sultry Mallika Sherawat has been replaced by actress Jacqueline Fernandez as the female lead in “Murder 2″.
Emraan is next to flaunt his six-pack abs after actor Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor, but the actor is quite nonchalant about it.
“I don’t understand that six-pack band thing anyways. I did it because my director said that I need to look tough for a role. I am not obsessed with the pack thing,” he said.
