And now, Shahrukh’s G.One suit would be digitalized which means the suit will be designed with the help of special effects. This is because SRK was not happy with a few sequences shot with the original bodysuit on. So, the special effects team is busy generating a computer graphics bodysuit. SRK is leaving no stone unturned apparently.

RA.One (Random Access.One) is scheduled for a 26th October, 2011 release. Here’s wishing SRK and his team all the very best for the movie.

The wait is over. Undoubtedly, the last big release of the year 2010 and it can’t get any bigger.

We have a director in Farah Khan who knows exactly the masses of India want from movies and we have the on-screen presence of Akshay Kumar who seems to got to new heights with every film of his. And there is of course, Sheila.

With all the vibes for the movie being absolutely positive, the penultimate week of the year is sure gonna rock.

TMK is hitting the screens tomorrow, i.e. 24 Dec and do watch the movie at a theatre near you. Do sign in tomorrow for the review of Tees Maar Khan only on bollywood.celebden.com

The story goes like this……

Amit (Shahid Kapoor) and Priya (Kareena Kapoor) meet at a Youth festival in Bangkok.

Priya is a girl with substance, exactly opposite the teens and college going students of today’s time. A pure romantic at heart she has this image of her would be life partner, who she expects would be a teetotaler, a guy who doesn’t smoke and who doesn’t lie.

Amit is totally opposite of what Priya wants from her life partner. He drinks like a fish, lies on the slightest pretext and is a chain smoker.

Their world collides when Amit by chance lays his hands on Priya’s personal diary and learns of her likes and dislikes. He poses as her dream mate by giving her a totally different picture of himself. Priya gets instantly attracted to Amit, and they spend days together cavorting around Bangkok, coming closer by the second.

Priya discovers the copy of her diary in Amit’s room and realises that he has made a fool of her. Amit is at a local bar having the last glass of beer and the last cigarette of his life. Priya appears in front of him and hell breaks loose. With a broken heart she confronts him and breaks the relationship. Priya decides that if it is fate that they should be together, then they will find each other in Delhi again, although both do not know each other’s whereabouts in Delhi.

Years go by and we introduce a new Amit as he comes back to Delhi from USA after getting his business management degree. He has gone through a complete personality change. He has become the man that Priya dreamed about. On the other hand Priya has also moved on in life. She has now become a successful music video director and is in a relationship with a pop singer

Both of them are about to be married, but still have this nagging feeling that the other was his/her one true love. Fate conspires to bring them back together, as they each simultaneously undertake one last attempt to find one another just before they get married to someone else.

Will they meet? Shahid and Kareena’s ‘Milenge Milenge’, directed by Satish Kaushik and presented by Boney Kapoor, releases on July 9, 2010.

What’s so special about Drona?
Firstly, you can expect Indiana Jones, Pirates of The Caribbean, and Harry potter kind of stuff in this film. According to director Goldie Behl, “it’s a blend of real and fantasy mixed.”

It’s a dark film he says. Similar to Hollywood movies, where villains are very powerful, Drona boasts of an all-powerful villain Kay Kay Menon. So, if you are thrilled by fantasy movies, sword fights, magical stuff – Drona is a movie you would not like to miss!!

1500 Special Effects!!
Drona will feature many special effects. In fact, Priyanka Chopra in an interview claimed that there are 1500 special effects in Drona!! After we’ve seen good special effects in movies like Krrish, Drona can be enchanting in terms of special effects.

Watch out the Indian Martial Arts:
Goldie Behl had incorporated lot of Indian Martial Arts in this film. Watch out for sword fights similar to the Mask of Zorro! Other Indian martial arts in this film include Chhau, Gatka, and Kalaripayat. Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bacchan were given extensive training in these arts for this film.

Why was Abhishek selected?
Goldie Behl, the director, says that this film deals with legacy and bloodline. Abhishek who is earthly-looking, yet majestic was thought to be the perfect fit for the film. Abhishek’s angry look just like his father Big B and his majestic appearance would make Drona a treat for Abhishek Bachhan fans. In this film, Abhishek plays the role of a savior whose mission is to rescue the world from evil powers.

His weapon: A magical sword, with emeralds and gold rubies. It has Sanskrit slokas written on it and it gives powers to the warrior.

Priyanka, what is she doing in Drona?
Priyanka in short says, ‘I have done a lot of action in this film.” Why? To protect Abhishek and assist him..sounds interesting. She actually learnt a Sikh form of martial art called Gathka for 20 days. Her wild, powerful look in Drona is very appealing. The long hair, kohli in her eyes, the turban with braids–.Priyanka Chopra admirers, are you listening?

Her weapon: A heavy wheel with small balls tied to it all along. When it turned around, it protects and deflects the weapons.

22 Crores!! The Cost of Evil:
The cost of Kay Kay Menon’s character in this film cost up to 22 crores. Kay Kay Menon plays a dark, negative role. You might see him doing stunts similar to the characters of Mortal Kombat, teleporting, creating fire, illusions, and stopping things mid air. To create his evil kingdom, they shot his character in Troja Castle in Prague, Czech Republic with a 200 plus team playing his army.

A Sneak peek at the Story:
A maharaja and his descendants had a divine duty to guard a treasure, which can impart immortality. Abhishek who’s supposed to be the descendant from the maharajas realizes his mission; and teams up with Priyanka Chopra and fights the powerful, evil powers to save the world.

The costumes, special effects, fights and Abhishek Bacchan heroics may as well make this film a blockbuster. Only time will decide this.

The ishtory of Tashan goes like this:

Lakhan Singh aka Bhaiyyaji loves to talk in English the way he loves running bullets through people’s flesh. Pooja (Kareena Kapoor) works for Bhaiyyaji and charms a cool call center executive Jimmy Cliff (Saif Ali Khan) to teach Bhaiyyaji toothi-poothi English. Its love at first sight for Jimmy and he falls head over heels in love with the skinny beauty Pooja.

Now Pooja lures Jimmy to steal Bhaiyyaji’s paise wala aluminum trunk. But slutty Pooja not only betrays Bhaiyyaji she also kicks off Jimmy’s ass leaving him to fend it himself in front of Bhaiyyaji. Bhaiyyaji summons Bachchan Pande (Akshay Kumar) who is junior Rajnikant and can do gravity defying stunts with utmost ease. Pande’s job is to find the sultry con girl and hand her over to Bhaiyyaji.

Meanwhile clever Pooja divides the loot and hides it in different parts of the country. After a series of boring songs we get to know ala Bollywood ishtyle that Pande and Pooja are childhood lovers and Pooja’s father was dumped to death by Bhaiyyaji. All this crap unfolds across India and is probably called TASHAN.

When I went inside the dingy theatre ( it has not released in multiplexes ) I expected stunning performance by Kareena post her Jab We Met success, Anil Kapoor post his Welcome and Race success, Saif Ali Khan post his Race success and Akshay Kumar post his Bhool Bhulaiyya, Hey Baby and Namastey London’s success. Except Akshay Kumar everybody else burned a big hole in my expectations.

Kareena Kapoor only raises eyebrows with her bikini scene whereas Akshay Kumar steals the thunder right under the noses of Saif, Kareena and Anil. The only reason I went through the three hour Tashan hell was Akshay Kumar- this guy surely rocks. With his ‘this is my rifle(the real gun), this is my gun(his crotch)- this is for shooting and this is for fun’ histrionics he is definitely an eye candy.

The most surprising thing about Tashan is that the director Vijay Krishna Acharya is the same man who had penned the blockbuster hits Dhoom and Dhoom2 earlier. He only scores on witty and humorous dialogues and I give him no points for turning such a lousy story into a movie. Anayanka Bose deserves a pat on the back for great cinematography.

Vishal-Shekhar’s music deserves a mention with songs like Dil Haara and Chaliya, all others are hard to remember.

In the end the movie will be remembered only for Akshay Kumar’s acting, Kareena’s bikini scene and all style sans substance.

Watch Tashan if you have nothing better to do.

My rating: **/5

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

Director: Jaideep Sen
Cast: Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon, Juhi Chawla and Dia Mirza

Debutante director Jaideep Sen must have foreseen the future of his movie Krazzy 4 and that’s why roped in SRK and Hrithik Roshan to become the saving grace of the movie. But inspite of SRK, Hrithik Roshan, Rakhi Sawant, Ram Sampath (for giving negative publicity for 2 crores), a great star cast and numerology the film turns out to be a dud.

Krazzy 4 is the story about four mental guys Raja (Arshad Warsi), Gangadhar (Rajpal Yadav), Dr Mukherjee (Irrfan Khan), Dabboo (Suresh Menon) and their doc Dr Sonali. Raja is an angry mental man and will hit out at the slightest provocation or even without and has an intermittent explosive disorder in simple words ‘Sarphira’. Dr Mukherjee aka captain of Krazzy4, is a clean freak, wants everything to be perfect and clean and suffers from a personality disorder.

Gangadhar is a schizophrenic who lives in the past and his pals are Nehru, Gandhi, Tilak and Patel. He and his imaginary pals are busy fighting for swaraj and freedom. Last but not the least is cute Dabboo who with his 3/4th pants is everybody’s pet and is frightened to an extent that he doesn’t speak a word.

All hell breaks loose when their savior Dr Sonali takes them out for a cricket match just for a change, Dr Sonali is kidnapped and our Krazzy 4 are left stranded in the big, bad and mad krazzy world. How they survive and rescue their doctor forms the rest of the story.

When Jaideep Sen had power performers like Irrfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon and Arshad Warsi he failed to utilize their potential. Suresh Menon who is a terrific performer is kept on mute all the time. Arshad Warsi inspite of having a meaty role fails to deliver as an angry man. The only actor who is the saving grace of K4 is Rajpal Yadav with a rocking performance; perfect comic timing makes him standout amongst others. Juhi Chawla and Irrfan Khan as Mr. tidy.

The craziest thing about the movie is its bad story inspired from Hollywood flick “The Dream Team”, wonder how Senior Roshan approved of it. The script has some unrealistic scenes which makes you go What The F like Raja bumping into his ex-girlfriend Dia Mirza, Dr Mukherjee meeting his daughter on the road, the krazzy guys carrying a successful sting operation and the climax.

The film is 2 hours long and is interesting in the first half, and a bore in the second eventually ending in a bad climax. Both script and screenplay of K4 are bad.

Coming to the highlight of Krazzy 4-The item numbers, I personally liked SRK’s Breakfree more than Hrithiks, but both are great. Rakhi’s item number would appeal to the frontbenchers and will keep them happy. Rajesh Roshan’s music is disappointing but Break Free is awesome (Credit should be given to Rajesh Roshan for composing rest of the song apart from the 6 lifted seconds).

I hope Jaideep Sen comes out with a good movie next time with a powerful story. Meanwhile the audiences wouldn’t be crazy for Krazzy 4.

My Rating: ** 1/2

While going out for One Two Three, keep in mind to open up your head, squeeze out your brain and stuff some hay into your empty head, because for the next three hours what you see is complete nonsense. The dialogues are good, the lifted witty one-liners were ok but the script lacked the punch.

Here is the story of the movie from One Two Three’s official site:

Bad things about One Two Three are bad script, bad screenplay, below average cinematography, hamming actors who fail at comedy, dumb actresses and forgettable music from Raghav Sachar. The few good things about One Two Three are: Sanjay Mishra is outstanding in his performance, Manoj Pahwa is brilliant, good editing, usage of funny sound-effects and above all the movie is a great stress buster.

Coming to the performances of other actors, Sunil Shetty is good, Paresh Rawal repeats his monotonous Hera Pheri Act (I am sick of this), Upen Patel- no comments, Mukesh Tiwari and Vrajesh Hirjee are ok, Tusshar Kapoor needs to work on his dialogue delivery, Esha Deol looks dumb, Sameera Reddy’s act is a dud (like her Race’s performance), Tanishaa is bad and Neetu Chandra overacts.

Folks don’t expect anything great from the movie and you might actually end up enjoying it, otherwise it’s a strict no-no, ‘coz the three hours spent on a dingy seat in One Two Three’s torture room can be worse than hell.

My Rating: **/5

Last year Naqaab was touted as the “most shocking thriller” of the year by Abbas-Mustan but it failed miserably. But this time the duo has let their work speak for them instead of making tall claims and Race clearly stands out. Race is a total Saif and Akshay’s movie: they delivered superb performances.

The story of Race revolves around two stepbrothers Ranvir Singh (SAK) and Rajeev Singh (Akshay). The two brothers compete against each other since childhood, and as the rule goes for every game, Saif always ends up winning whereas Akshay is on the losing side. Shot extensively in South Africa, the movie is about betrayal, greed, intrigue and revenge.
Ranvir the eldest of the two brothers is a cunning businessman who is always hungry for success and owns a ranch named Stallions. He gives tough competition to his competitors and doesn’t forgive people who try to act smart with him. On the other hand Rajiv (Akshay) is a total spoilt-rich-brat who loves wine more than the family horses.

Ranvir falls head-over-heels in love with the fashion catwalk queen Sonia (Bipasha Basu). But then a thriller is incomplete without a love triangle. Ranvir’s beautiful and hot secretary is secretly in love with her, but Ranvir gives a damn to her. As expected (from the trailers) Akshay also falls in love with Bipasha, and promises to mend his ways if Bipasha accepts his marriage proposal. Saif Ali Khan like every Indian elder brother sacrifices his love for his younger bro. But then one of the brothers has evil intentions in mind, a murder is committed, and the evil brother gets to walk away with the insurance claim of whooping hundred million.

Now a murder mystery is incomplete without a detective, and we do have one in Race. Robert D’Costa aka RD (Anil Kapoor), who is always munching fruits along with his sexy dumb bimbette secretary Mini (Sameera Reddy) enters the scene of crime and try to solve the mystery of the murder. The thriller gets its dose of humor with this detective-secretary combo. Although the jokes are dumb the audience are left in splits.

The best things about Race are not one but many: Akshay’s negative performance, Pritam’s rocking music, Stunts by Allan Amin, great dialogues, good Cinematography and above all a meaningful ending.

Although the movie is glossy with many action stunts, the director reminds us of SRK’s Baazigar, when one of the brother pushes down the other from the terrace of high-rise building to his death similar to the way SRK pushes down Shilpa Shetty in Baazigar. The first half of Race, kept me glued to my seat, I could not predict easily what exactly will happen in the next scene. With lots of twists and turns, I was munching my popcorn at Rajdhani express speed wondering what is gonna happen next.

Performance wise Akshay Khanna is the best in his negative avatar, Saif Ali Khan (he should take tips on working out from his zero size girlfriend) delivers a power packed performance as an intense elder brother and shrewd businessman, rest all are mediocre. Amongst all the ladies in the movie Bipasha Basu stands out, Katrina Kaif looks strikingly beautiful but fails to strike the right acting chord, Sameera Reddy acts as the Indian version of dumb blonde and provides enough justice to her role. Anil Kapoor provides the comedy element to the movie, but his acts looks monotonous.

Overall the movie is great, can be watched once (once you know the mystery its no more fun), the ladies up the sex quotient and great powerhouse performances by Saif and Akshay. A total paisa vasool movie. Don’t forget to check out the car blast scene in the first half of the movie. I expect Race will recover its investment and break the 30 crore barrier in its first week collections itself. Go Race yourself to the theaters.
