Hello darling not a happy hello for the viewers

Who doesn’t love to laugh?? Everyone, right!! But when it comes to movie, all expect a complete package of entertainment and fun, nothing such that is mediocre and spoils the mood.

‘Hello Darling’ was also an effort to do so, but sorry to say, it did not succeed in doing so. The movie tried loads of trick to make people laugh but efforts proved to be failure except hardly one or two scenes.
Hello Darling is a complete compact of sexual innuendo with the presence of three bombarding bombs that is gorgeous Gul Panag, Celina Jaitley & Eesha Koppikar.

The movie is a shameless rip-off of the 1980 office comedy Nine to Five, about three harassed co-workers who also entertain their hot & sexy boss and the whole movie keeps roaming around the same theme.
Well Guys and Gals, do you know who the sexy boss is in this movie?? Yup… you are right he is our jolly Javed Jaffrey who stars as ‘Hardik’ in the movie.

His name is even mispronounced in the film to develop some cheap joke chortles and the three leading ladies are employed at a garments firm where they are routinely hit on by their oversexed superior, Javed Jaffrey. How cheap all this sounds!! Doesn’t it??

Moreover, Hello Darling may sound funny on paper but was completely childish and bizarre on the silver screen. We can say that this movie stands no where before Nine to Five; however it is a complete wastage of time & money.

So, don’t expect anything good out of this movie in terms of entertainment. But one thing you can expect is big thanks from the director who would surely thank you if you accompany the movie till the end inspite of leaving your seats in middle. That’s really tough, isn’t it??

Only the director, Manoj Tiwari knows what Hello Darling is all about, who did try to make you laugh but even took away the happiness you had while entering the cinema halls.

Uff!!!!! What I would now say is, if such remakes keep on worked upon the day is not far when there would be a ban on remakes too!

John relying on fate to fulfill his 'Aashayein'

The handsome hunk of B-town John is very enthusiastic about his upcoming flick Aashayein, which is the story of a compulsive gambler who discovers new meanings of fortune and life through a dramatic turn of events.

Sounds great! So John is playing a gambler in the movie, it would be interesting to see him playing with his luck. Interesting concept Nagesh!

Let us have a quick review of the movie and see if it really happens to be worth watching or the acclamations being bestowed on its special screening are just a hype created in the media.

The movie goes round Rahul Singh and the struggles he faces from living an insignificant life to a significant one. His life takes a turn when he comes to know that he would have only 90 days to live. This is the time when instead of losing all hopes or crying over the spilt milk Rahul decides to live life fully and accomplish all his goals.

Wow! It seems quite different and I must say that the movie is inspiring. You can call it a bittersweet fable that would make every viewer give a thought to evaluate the importance of life.

It indeed teaches us that life is all about living in present rather than spoiling the present in the worry of future.

The acclamations the movie has received so far prior to its release are really appreciable and this was something we call the Nagesh Kuknoor style. We would wish that the movie makes a difference in the thinking of every individual and comes out a big success at box office. Even this is about our Aashayein as well.

"Rakht Charitra" last day shot

Last day shoot of Rakht Charitra
I took the last shot of ‘Rakht Charitra’ yesterday. From the inception of the idea of wanting to make ‘Rakht Charitra’  till the point of me taking the last shot was an incredible journey for both my mind the way it started perceiving and understanding the research material and then also how it studied the minds of the various involved parties.

So a constant analysis and thereby a due course of me being psyched up by what kind of conclusive truths I have reached in various mental states of mine resulted in a situation that by the time I reached the last shot it made me truly believe that what I shot in Cinema is real and what happened in real was Cinema.

The characters who inspired me got mixed up with the characters I created and the same goes to the incidents.

Yes it’s true that my attempt was to stay close to the truth to the best of my limits and knowledge but like I said earlier, it’s truth as I know it and believe it but it’s not necessarily the absolute truth.

But what’s even more strange is that even the people involved in the actual incidents were confused when they saw some scenes as to what is true and what is not.

The reason for that is because they have seen the incident in person but never from a certain other person’s point of view.

So even though they knew the truth of what is being depicted in the film, now after seeing the film they came to know with much more clarity why certain things happened and how they happened which they probably never understood in their entirety at the time those incidents actually happened.

Coming back to the last shot, never in my career I felt such an exhilaration and a strange sense of a mixture of both a release and a relief through any film I have done so far in my career.

It’s not so much for the film but for the fact that I travelled all this time with each of all the various characters of ‘Rakht Charitra’ and their emotions and now I feel that with the last shot I have reached them to their destinations or atleast to their destinations as conceived and perceived by me.

More than the audience I am actually dying to see, know and feel the reactions of the real people from whom its characters are inspired from.

I feel this attempt of mine will be hugely worth while if they even think, feel, realize, and learn a little something from ‘Rakta Charitra’ about themselves and more importantly about their adversaries.

Salman Khan reel name is a smash hit

Salman Khan reel name smash hit
Salman Khan's character in the film Dabangg is known as Robin Hood Pandey, something which has already started to amuse the audience.

Salman, who is actively promoting the film, is playing upon the funny image that the character is generating.

The first look of his character was shown to the public at the IIFA awards held in Sri Lanka.

The audience there instantly took a liking to Salman, who was seen sporting a moustache and dancing in a unique manner on the title song.

Now, Salman is trying to highlight the name. According to debut director Abhinav Kashyap, it was Salman's idea to make the character hilarious yet powerful.

And it was his idea to suggest the name which is a unique combination of the legendary superhero and a local guy next door.

Abhinav said, "Salman wanted that the character's name to be such that it automatically generates interest among the audience and also sounds funny.

The name was popped up by Salman and when we heard it for the first time, we could not stop laughing."
