Shahid and Priyanka’s first movie together: KAMINE
Well the title for Shahid’s upcoming flick is really strange. As reported earlier Vishal Bhardwaj has signed Shahid Kapoor for his next movie and Shahid will have double role in Kamine.
A source said, “Shahid will have two interesting roles in the film. It is also believed that Priyanka Chopra has been signed as the leading leady for this film”. This is for the first time that Shahid and Priyanka Chopra will be paired opposite each other.”
Vishal Bharadwaj had earlier worker with Shahid Kapoor’s father Pankaj Kapoor in Maqbool and Blue Umbrella. Vishal is hoping that Shahid Kapoor matches the success of his father in Kamine.
I wonder why the film is called Kamine, it would have been better to call it Kutte Kamine since there is a double role in the movie.
Kareena wants to marry Saif
Rumors are abuzz that Bollywood’s hottest couple Kareena and Saif is eager to tie the knot. Apparently it’s Kareena who wants to settle down.
Kareena dumped Shahid Kapoor after dating him for four years when she found love calling in Saif Ali Khan while filming Tashan together.
The hot couple have planned to announce their marriage after the release of their movie Tashan.
It was reported earlier that Kareena-Saif had a secret Nikaah but the lovers dismissed the rumors.
Lets see if this marriage rumor bites the dust again.
Neil Nitin to follow grandpa Mukesh footsteps
Neil Nitin Mukesh grandson of legendery singer Mukesh has already proved himself as a fine actor with his brilliant performance in his debut movie Johnny Gaddaar. And now he is going to exercise his vocal chords and will be singing for his upcoming movie Freeze.
An excited Neil said, “I wouldn’t call myself an extremely accomplished singer. But yes, I am much more than a bathroom singer. I carry my notes well. But having grown up on my grandfather’s songs and watched my dad struggling to get out of the ‘Mukesh’ shadow, I was scared to try my hand at singing as a fulltime career.”
Neil also revealed his long time connection with singing,” As a child did accompany my dad on his world tours and even sang on stage. But I never sang my grandpa’s songs as I preferred Kishore Kumar. I didn’t intend to sing professionally. But it seems God and the film industry have other plans for me,” says the dashing hunk.
Neil Nitin stars alongside Sophie Choudhary in Jehangir Suri’s thriller Freeze. Pritam is composing the songs for the movie and is delighted to have Neil to sing his song, “Neil will be singing the film’s theme song. It’ll be somewhat like the James Bond theme because that’s the mood of Freeze. I’ve always been a Mukesh bhakt. I couldn’t compose for him. But it’s such an honor to compose for his grandson. I’ll listen carefully to the texture of Neil’s voice and then compose accordingly. But since he’s the grandson of Mukesh and the son of Nitin Mukesh I’m sure he sings well. Also, being a good actor, Neil will have no problem in expressing the emotions in the lyrics. I’m quite kicked to have an actor singing for me. Unlike other actors-turned-singers, Neil won’t be just a glamorous factor in the soundtrack. He knows what he’s doing,” said Pritam.
He has a cool voice, lets wait and hear if his songs are as sexy as his looks.
Bhoothnath: Movie Review
Director: Vivek Sharma
Star Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla, Shahrukh Khan and Aman Siddiqui
After Taare Zameen Par, which made kids dance to their tunes, we have debutant director Nikhil Kumar’s movie Bhootnath to hit the screens. Bhoothnath is about the relationship between Casper inspired ghost Amitabh Bachchan and kid Aman Sidiqui. The first half of the movie is targeted at kids and the second melodramatic half is incidentally also for kids.
Story of Bhoothnath
A big, unattended ,uninhabited spooky house is haunted by a ghost named Kadernath ( Amitabh Bachchan). The ghost is vengeful and wouldn’t allow anybody to share his house as his fond memories are etched in the house, Nath Villa. But Kadernath is disturbed and furious when a family movies into the house. The family comprises of Banku ( Aman Sidiqqui ), his shy mother ( Juhi Chawla) and pony-tailed daddy ( Shah Rukh Khan).
The ghost is angry with the new inmates of Nath Villa and plans to drive them away by his bhoothiya antics. He comes across Banku and tries his tricks on him, but instead of scaring Banku he amuses him which results in friendship between Banku and Kedarnath and Banku lovingly starts calling Kedarnath as Bhootnath.
All is well in the Bhootnath villa until Kedarnath’s son Priyanshu Chatterjee returns from US to sell off Nath Villa and then the film goes back in time, becomes soggy and melodramatic. The director doesn’t think twice before turning the second half into a Baghban type melodrama.
Kids will surely enjoy the encounters between Banku and Bhootnath and their histrionics in the first half. The way the awesome twosome plays pranks in school and also become heroes in disguise is definitely entertaining. The second half with all those family values I guess went as a bouncer over the heads of kids and it might have left them wondering what happened to Bhootnath. One child beside me in the movie-plex started crying, “Mamma Bhootnath ko ka hua?”
Aman Sidiqui as Banku is perfect and gives an outstanding performance, Amitabh as the loving ghost with sunken eyes looks perfect and manipulates your emotions with his histrionics. Juhi Chawla proves why she is still in the industry despite of marriage with her good performance. Shahrukh Khan is a treat for SRK lovers and I guess he also had some magic powers as we could see a pony-tailed SRK in one scene and in another the pony-tail does a vanishing act, over all he is brilliant.
Although Vivek Sharma needs to hone is directorial skills he is a good narrator. The film has good special effects. Cinematography by Vishnu Rao is good. The soundtrack of the movie is its biggest flaw, I wonder what happened to Vishal-Shekhar when they were composing tunes for this movie.
Don’t go expecting a Taare Zameen Par act from the movie and you might actually like it, but be sure to leave the theatre after the first half if you are watching this movie with your kids as it would prove to be a big embarrassment for you and confusion for your little one.
My verdict: **1/2/ 5
