Remember Tanisha?? The girl who looked she forgot to wear clothes in the movie Neil n Nikki? Well, if you still can’t remember her, we can only tell you that she is Kajol’s sister, and with Neil n Nikki to her credit, her debut movie certainly wasn’t a dream launch.

U Me aur Hum movie review

Anjum — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:28:03 +0000

U Me aur Hum

Director: Ajay Devgan

Cast: Ajay Devgan and Kajol

After Aamir Khan who shined with his first directorial debut its time for Ajay Devgan too who has come out with a soul stirring movie like U Me aur Hum. UMAH clearly scores over Krazzy 4 this week with Ajay Devgan’s great direction and above all Kajol with a great performance.

U Me aur Hum is a love story about Ajay (Ajay Devgan) who falls in love at first sight with Piya (Kajol) on a cruise. In the first half of the movie we see a typical Bollywood romance with Ajay wooing Piya. The second half becomes intense which shows that marriage is only successful when both husband and wife stand for each in their times of distress.

Ajay is psychiatrist who is on a vacation trip with is friends and their respective spouses (Karan Khanna, Sumeet Raghavan, Isha Sharvani and Divya Dutta). Piya (Kajol) is a waitress in the cruise bar and when Ajay spots Piya he falls head over heels in love with her. Piya a strong-headed girl rejects Ajay’s advances. But Ajay is so much smitten by Piya that he tries every trick to woo her which includes trespassing into her cabin and reading her personal diary: Book of Possibilities. Psychiatrist by profession he uses the right tactics to win Piya’s heart. Piya finally falls for him but when he confesses her about reading her diary and using it to get her all hell breaks loose and Ajay is left alone.

But destiny brings them back together again and this time they end up marrying. Marriage for Piya and Ajay is like heaven and soon they become an ideal husband and wife for their friends. But as everything good comes to an end their marriage life starts getting complicated and another nail in the coffin is Piya’s illness: ‘Alzheimer’. How Piya and Ajay save their marriage and love forms the rest of the story.

The story of the movie is told in a flashback by Ajay Devgan, which adds charm to the movie. Aswan Whir does justice to the U Me aur Hum by rendering witty humorous dialogues to thought-provoking ones with great finesse. Ajay Devgan is terrific both in front of the camera as well as back of it. Kajol is as always awesome in her performance as an Alzheimer suffering young lady and is a strong contender for this year’s best actress award. Supporting actors irritate you a bit and there is nothing much to write about them.

Vishal Bharadwaj spins the magic of Omkara once again by rendering good music. The best song is the title track ‘U Me aur Hum’ and the peppy ‘Jee Le’ and the best thing U Me aur Hum is the great chemistry between real life husband and wife Kajol and Ajay. Ajay Devgan is the man behind direction and views but Kajol brought them to life.

U Me aur Hum will appeal to the younger audience, couples, couples soon to tie the knot and everybody else who is in love. The film has its share of drawbacks and mistakes but those can be forgiven ‘coz its Ajay’s first movie as a director. The movie will definitely force you and your better half to become HUM and make your relationship much better.

My Rating: *** 1/2

Kajol yet to sign Karan Johar’s ‘I am Khan’

Anjum — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:01:02 +0000

Karan Johar has been tom-tomming that he has signed SRK and Kajol for his next movie ‘I am Khan’ but K.JO has taken his friendship with Kajol a little bit for granted. Apparently the beautiful actress has not given the green signal to the project.

Kajol revealed, “I have been approached for this movie by Karan, but I haven’t signed it yet. The script is not ready as yet and I am waiting for a narration. Only then can I decide.”

Come on Kajol go ahead with the project, all your fans are waiting anxiously to see you with SRK once again.

Amitabh Bachchan not very happy with RGV’s AAG

Sowmya — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:39:59 +0000

With Amitabh Bachchan not being happy about the final product of Sholay’s remake ‘Aag’, RGV’s next film Cobra has come to a stand still. As reported earlier, the Amitabh- Abhishek and Ajay Devgan starer Cobra was RGV’s next ambitious project with the Bachchan clan. After the disastrous response from both public and critics, this project had actually become a dream for RGV but Abhishek came to his rescue by suggesting that Cobra should now have either Saif Ali Khan or Salman Khan to make it interesting. And guess what? Papa Bachchan seems very hopeful about this idea and has again taken interest in reviving RGV’s Cobra.

But to come to think of it…will Salman ever be a part of Bachchan films or rather will Salman be able to do the film because of his imprisonment? And also if Saif or Salman have a slot will Ajay be given any role in the film? God looks like RGV is in real mess, if he convinces one the other will be annoyed…

RGV declares Cobra

Sowmya — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 11:55:14 +0000

Ram Gopal Varma is all set to release his AAG and DARLING back-to-back! His Sarkar 2 is also ready to enter the post production stage. And if you think that’s it for Ramu this year, then take a pause and be ready for the next news.

Ramu will soon start working with Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgan for his next project ‘Cobra’. The movie is made by RGV’s factory and Adlabs together. More big names will be added to the cast, so let us wait and see what Ramu declares next.

Ajay Devgan to play King Ashoka

Sowmya — Wed, 09 May 2007 09:49:50 +0000

Raj Kumar Santoshi’s “Halla Bol” is almost done and the man is busy finalizing the name for his next film which stars Ajay Devgan. And as usual Ajay again gets a unique role to play- the character of King Asoka. After King Khan’s version of Asoka, Ajay will flesh the character of the Great King Ashoka. The film is expected to roll in August this year and completed in one schedule by December 2007. A huge budget has been planned to cover the story and life of the king. Ajay is all very excited about the project and says that it has the best script he has heard in all these years. Ashoka came to Santoshi’s mind when he was researching for his planned film Ramayana, which will release next year. Hopefully this attempt to picturize The Maurya King Ashoka will be better than what Santosh Sivan.

Ajay Devgan thrilled about directing Kajol

Sowmya — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 12:12:10 +0000

Ajay Devgan is planning to step into two boats at a time. Though he is famous for his ‘Phool Aur Kante’ sequence where he stands on two running bikes, this one looks tough! Apparently Ajay has decided that he will do his directorial debut with his next home production movie “Main, Tum Aur Hum” which will have Kajol as the female lead.

To make his job tough Ajay has decided to step in to the protagonist’s role along with handling the director’s hot seat. Sure trust Ajay to do it with much more ease. The pair’s first movie “Pyar To Hona Hi Tha” was a box office success but the next one-“Raju Chacha” was an utter flop. So if one goes by alternate theory, this one should be a hit. Good luck Ajay!
