For his upcoming film D-Day, Rishi Kapoor has donned the cap of an underworld don. While the role is merely that of an underworld don, Rishi Kapoor’s character bears striking resemblance with Dawood Ibrahim! The trailer of the film shows Rishi Kapoor in a moustache, similar to the one everyone relates to Dawood Ibrahim.

The film is being made by Nikhil Advani, with whom Rishi Kapoor had worked in Patiala House. Huma Qureshi of Gangs of Waseypur fame and Shruti Haasan are the leading ladies in the film. Needless to say, we’re all eagerly waiting for D-Day !

“It’s a pleasure to be part of such an ensemble cast. I am very excited to work with Madhuri Dixit,” the actress told IANS. Director Abhishek Chaubey and “Dedh Ishqiya” team is currently shooting at Mira Road here.

“I can’t reveal much about my look or my role. All I can say is Abhishek is a wonderful director. I was an admirer of ‘Ishqiya’. I never thought I will be part of the sequel. For me, it’s like a dream come true,” said Huma Qureshi.

A sequel to 2010 black comedy “Ishqiya”, the film also stars Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi who were in the original.

Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi. Once she was a big fan of Madhuri Dixit and now Huma Qureshi is her co-star in “Dedh Ishqiya” and her happiness knows no bounds.

Bollywood Celebden Rating: 3.5/5

Cast : Emraan Hashmi, Huma Qureshi, Kalki Koechlin and Konkana Sen.

Music : Vishal Bharadwaj

Direction : Kannan Iyer

Story :

The story of Ek Thi Daayan revolves around folk tales about witches and their witch craft. Emraan Hashmi plays the role of Bobo, best magician in India. Just when he plans to settle down, he is confronted with his old past. He uses hypnosis to find out details of his past where he finds out that a witch who he had killed promised to take him. After so many years he feels that his past has come back to haunt him and cause harm to his family. How he protects them and how he kills the daayan is the remaining par of the story.

Performances :

Ek Thi Daayan stars Emraan Hashmi, Huma Qureshi, Kalki Koechlin and Konkana Sen. Emraan Hashmi who has carried off dark roles easily in his previous films, plays the role of a magician with the same ease. He plays the role of a top magician Bobo. He gives a very mature performance in this film and carries the whole film on his shoulders really well. All the female leads plays their part to perfection. But Konkana as a veteran does the best job out of them. Huma and Kalki fail to do better than Konkana. The best part was played by Vishesh Tiwari who played child version of Emraan Hashmi. The innocence that he bring to role adds a bigger advantage. Sara Arjun who plays Emraan’s sister is very cute.

Technical aspect : 

Kannan Iyer brings a gem with the story with ‘Ek Thi Daayan’. The story is based on a short story by Mukul Sharma. Mukul Sharma was assisted by Vishal Bharadwaj on the story and the screenplay. The movie concentrated on the minutest of details. The screenplay of the movie is good but only in parts. The movie lacks a befitting end to this supernatural thriller.  Cinematography is very important for a horror movie. Saurabh Goswami does a wonderful job in it. The movie manages to evoke more spine chilling sequences than expected. Both background music and songs are enjoyable in this movie. Vishal Bharadwaj music and Gulzar’s lyrics are a perfect combination, they manage to create most beautiful songs.

Analysis :

Kannan Iyer has definitely bought back element ‘Daayan’ that has existed in hindi horror movies. With a fresh script, melodious tunes and an awesome performances put up by the cast of Ek Thi Daayan makes this movie very watchable. The film has shrills, thrills, Emraan’s lip lock and of course Daayans, everything that you are expecting from this movie. But the thing that spoils everything is the screenplay and how the movie ends. The first half of the movie is very engaging. It’s mostly the flashback of emraan and is so beautifully directed that the second half doesn’t seem to be directed by Kannan. The ending is so bad that you find it funny (It shows the actors are involved in fist fight ). It follows a long list of hindi horror movies whose endings fall flat to the build up it generates in the first half. Nevertheless, must watch movie for the first half performances and picturisation.

Bottomline : Ek Thi Daayan is full of Chills, Thrills But Ending Spills

The post Ek Thi Daayan review – Novelty works for this movie appeared first on Bollywood Celebden.

Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood babe, Kareena Kapoor attended the NDTV Indian of the Year Awards held in Delhi, where she won the Entertainer of the Decade award. This newly wed literally surprised us with that bindi and mogra. She donned a Manish Malhotra sari, and we think she looked gorgeous.

Sridevi

Ms Sridevi picked Sabyasachi for the NDTV Indian of the Year Awards. She looked beautiful but we think it’s high time she changes her style. Agree with me?

Diana Penty

Bollywood newbie Ms Penty opted for Amit Aggarwal red gown, at a TRESemmé event in Delhi. Showing off her long tresses, we think Diana looked absolutely lovely. We loved the gown.

Shilpa Shetty

Ms Shetty is on a roll. The actress was clicked in Anamika Khanna, on the sets of Nach Baliye Shriman Vs Shrimati. She looked stunning. Don’t you think so?

Genelia D’Souza

Genelia attended Myntra’s event held in Hyderabad in a cutsy Zara dress and berry hued suede pumps. She looked super cute and adorable. We Love!

Kalki Koechlin

Bollywood actress Kalki is busy promoting her upcoming flick Ek Thi Dayaan. She was clicked on the show The Front Row With Anupama Chopra in a sequin Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna dress and black pumps. We loved her look.

Huma Qureshi

Wearing an Arpan Vohra ombre maxi with a black blazer and Aquamarine jewelry, Huma along with co-star Huma and producer Ekta Kapoor attended the taping of The Front Row.

Bipasha Basu

Ms Basu opted for a Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna dress at a CCL match. Hated the heels but the dress looks good on her. What do you think?

Vishal Bharadwaj has composed the music for this movie. He has joined hands with his favorite lyricist Gulzar Saab to work on the music of the film. Vishal has already proven his worth as a music director who can compose for dark films with 7 Khoon Maaf and his other movies. Ek Thi Daayan album has 5 songs in it.

Yaaram

This song was used as the first one to promote the film and it lives up to the name. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Clinton Cerejo, this is a soothing song. Its starts of as a slow number but gains momentum slowly and becomes a foot tapping number.

Totey Udd Gaye

Totey Udd Gaye is a song that you use in weddings. Its fun song, sung by Suresh Wadkar, Sukhwinder Singh and Rekha Bhardwaj. Its a peppy yet its got a rustic touch to it. The punjabi dhols add to the song. Definitely an addictive song.

Kaali Kaali

Clinton Cerejo holds the mike again for the next song Kaali Kaali. It is a very dark and romantic song. The low tones of the song give a creepy touch to it. It is a good song as the voice and music is too low. The best thing of this song is its lyrics, Hats of to Gulzar saab for writing this.

Lautungi Mein

Lautungi Mein has Rekha Bharadwaj behind the mike. This song gives the perfect feeling of a horror movie.Along with Rekha’s raw and rustic voice, it has elements like ghunghroos, howling wolves and sound of crickets just like old horror movies which make the song more scary and eerie in nature. Kudos to Vishal for such a tune.

Sapna re Sapna

It is a lullaby song sung by Padmanabh Gaikwad who came in Lil Champs. His innocence and the high music gives a different feel to the song. It is not the best song of the album but a situational one which might suit the scene more.

Overall, Ek Thi Daayan is a good album, certainly not the best of Vishal Bharadwaj’s work though. Yaaram, Totey Udd gaye and Lautungi Main are my pick of songs from this movie. Ek Thi Daayan is releasing on this Friday, 19th April.
