De Dana Dan Movie Review

Directed by Priyadarshan, this film features the Hera Pheri hit combo Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal. The supporting actress includes Katrina Kaif, Neha Dhupia and Sameera Reddy.

Nitin played by Akshay Kumar and Ram played by Suniel Shetty are two guys who are lucky in love as they have their girlfriends Anjali (Katrina Kaif) and Manpreet (Sameera Reddy) respectively. However, both Nitin and Ram are broke and hardly have any money to survive. Their girlfriends have given them an ultimatum that they need to earn loads of money so that they can run away and get married. Desperate, Nitin and Ram are trying various ways to earn money quickly.

They plan to kidnap Moolchandji who is a spoilt dog of rich brat. But the dog runs away, and the police think it’s Nitin who’s been kidnapped. As the guys try to get their hands on the ransom money, they encounter many funny characters like a Don, an officer, a club dancer, an ambassador, an assassin, a frustrated wife, waiter etc. All this leads to utter chaos and confusion which is what entertains the audience.

The music for De Dana Dan has been given by Pritam and the lyrics are penned by Sayeed Quadri, Neeraj Shridhar, Irshad Kamil and Ashish Pandit. Songs like Paisa paisa, Sab rishte naate and Baamulaiza have been a hit amongst the crowd. De Dana Dan is produced by Ratan Jain who has earlier produced many big budget films.

 Ishqiya is first directorial venture of Abhishek Chaubey. It is an interesting mix of two genres of romance and suspense. Produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj, the later has also composed music for the movie. We need not say anything about Vishal Bhardwaj’s ability as he has proven again and again with movies like Kaminey, Maqbool, Omkara and Makdi. However, it will be interesting to watch this movie as it is his production. Ishqiya also boasts of a talented star cast of veteran Naseeruddin Shah, talented Arshad Warsi and beautiful Vidya Balan in the main lead. Movie will be releasing on December 11, 2009.

 Movie is set up in the backdrop of eastern Uttar Pradesh (Omkara, Déjà vu?). Movie is an interesting mix of suspense, thriller, chase, romance, deceit and betrayal.

While escaping they stumble across a widow Krishna (Vidya Balan) who had some other plans for them.

 Babban falls for Krishna whereas Khalujaan is more sensible in his approach. Krishna had her own dubious intentions. But soon reality dawns in and they both realize what has happened. What happens afterwards make for the crux of the story. Movie promises to be interesting because of interesting star cast and Vishal Bhardwaj’s association. Watch it on 11th December.


3 Idiots preview

Directed by Raj kumar Hirani, forthcoming and much awaited film 3 idiots stars Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, and Boman Irani in pivotal roles. Kajol too will make a special appearance in the film.

Loosely based on the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat, Three Idiots is a film that narrates the story of three friends whose dismal CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) at their college influence their lives, their friendship, their romance and career choices as well.

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, 3 idiots is much awaited because not only is it based on a successful novel but also stars a great combo. Moreover, Aamir’s presence in the film gives it a great credibility too. Shooting for this film began in July 2008. ‘3 idiots’ is shot in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Ladakh and Shimla. In fact, Hirani has shot at the Indian Institute of Management – Bangalore.

The music of the film has released and two songs ‘Aal izz well’ and ‘Zoobi Doobi’ are particularly liked by many people. The music of the film is composed by Shantanu Moitra and the lyrics are penned by Swanand Kirkire. ‘Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe’ is a slow number which is also liked by some. ‘Behti Hawa’ and ‘Give Me Some Sunshine’ would be acclaimed only after the film’s release.

Film critics have already said that 3 idiots is one of the top most awaited films of 2009. However as one can never be sure of box office collections, one needs to wait and watch for the movie release to actually comment about the film.


Raat Gayi Baat Gayi Preview

Director: Saurabh Shukla

Producer: Rangita Pritish Nandy

Banner: Pritish Nandy Communications Ltd

Genre: Comedy

Music Director: Ankur Tewari

Lyricist: Ankur Tewari

Star Cast: Neha Dhupia, Dalip Tahil, Anu Menon, Navneet Nishan, Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Iravati Harshe

Release Date: December 11, 2009

Comedy movies are back in favor. Most of the recent comedy movies have done quite well on the box office. Examples include, Singh is Kingg, All the Best and recently released De Dana Dan. Rata Gayi Baat Gayi is of same genre. Movie gives us a peek into the modern day marriage. Movie has an ensemble cast of talented actors and coming from Pritish Nandy Communications, movie holds high promises.

The story of the movie revolves around 3 couples. It tracks their lives, fun part and also a twisted short term memory loss. Movie is a modern day take on lives of married couples in urban locations. Movie promises to be a fun riot. It begins with protagonist of the movie waking up one fine morning with a bad hangover and a memory lapse. He is quite convinced that in the last night party he had met a beautiful lady and there was some connection between them but afterwards he remembers nothing else.

Protagonist is married and he seeks to find out what had happened at that night. Whether he went too far or things remained under control he tries to seek help of another married couple but they are having their own issues. In terms of story, we are not expecting to find a story never told before but yes, movie seems to be hilarious with its story line. It also takes a dig at marital infidelity combined with amnesia. Movie will be releasing on December 11, 2009.


Kurbaan movie review

Staring Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Kurbaan is a product of dharma productions directed by Rensil d’Silva. Kurbaan has been treated differently than most mainstream Hindi cinema and Rensil has sure taken the subject to a new level with his style of visual expressionism. Kurbaan is primarily a romantic film with a backdrop of terrorism.

Kareena is a professor in NewYork who returns to his ailing father in India where she meets Saif who is also a professor. Kareena falls in love with Saif who is a Muslim and much against her father’s will, she marries him. Kareena also finds a job for Saif there. Kareena meets their neighbors the next day who are hard core muslims. Then it’s Nauheed Cyrusi who comes to meet Kareena to tell her that her life is in trouble. This leaves Kareena troubled and what follows is something that leaves you with adrenaline running high. What I particularly like about Kurbaan is that either way, Rensil’s film looks at the theme of Islamic terrorism with honesty.

The music is given by music duo Salim Suleiman and the lyrics are penned by Irfan Siddiqui. I would particularly like to single out two songs Shukran Allah’, which comes in the beginning of the film and ‘Ali Maula ’which comes just before the climax.

The core of the movie is three characters – the terrorist played by Saif, his pregnant and rebellious wife played by Kareena and the journalist played by Vivek. All the three characters take the story forward. Vivek has played his character with sheer brilliance. Saif could have been better especially in intense career-defining events and Kareena is outstanding in her role. All in all, Kurbaan is a serious gritty romantic thriller that satiates your senses.


Atithi Tum Kab Jaaoge

Many upcoming movies are generating curiosity amongst movie buffs. Ajay Devgan who is fresh from his last release ‘All the Best’ is in news for his upcoming venture named ‘Athithi Tum Kab Jaaoge’. There are quite a few gossips about the inspiration of the movie. Some gossip columns talked about movie being a copy of a Hollywood movie whereas some other attributed its story to some other sources. But recently the producer of the movie Kumar Mangat cleared all the confusion in a press conference. He said the movie is inspired from a book.

Well known satirist Late Sharad Joshi had written a short story named Tum Kab Jaoge Atithi and the movie in question is based on the same book. Movie stars Ajay Devgan and Konkana Sen along with Paresh Rawal who is apparently playing the role of Atihti. The team of the movie has yet to release any poster or look of the film. Only the working still of the movie has been released. The movie is co-produced by reputed Hollywood production house Warner Bros Picture India in association with Amita Pathak’s banner Wide Frame Films. Though the poster of the movie does look similar to a Hollywood movie but similarity ends there.

The theme of the movie, as the name suggests is quite humorous and based on a common problem faced by many Indian households, i.e., having guests that never leave. This movie is the first production venture of Amita Pathak and those who don’t know her yet, she is the daughter of Kumar Mangat who has got quite a reputation in films production. The movie will be directed by Ashwin Dhir and will be shot in a flat duration of 50 days in the Yashraj studios. The movie is supposed to release on 26th of February.


Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year preview

Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year is one of the most awaited films of 2009. Directed by Shimit Amin of Chak De India fame, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year has its first look released. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films and the screenplay is done by Jaideep Sahni. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor, the film also stars Sharon Prabhakar and Gauhar Khan who play pivotal roles in the movie. The film also stars Shazahn Padamsee, daughter of Alyque Padamsee who is making her debut in this film. This film is set to release on the 11th of December, 2009.

Considering that Ranbir Kapoor has already had two hits this year namely Wake up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year has that star power to pull the audience. Moreover, Ranbir’s look in the movie is much talked about and the film’s first look sure promises us with something different that the usual. Apart from Ranbir’s fame, it is director Shimit Amin whose credibility is already established with the success of Chak De India. Besides this, the film is produced by Yash Raj banner which gives it a strong backing.

Rocket Singh is a character who is sometimes thoughtless, sometimes thoughtful kind of a guy. This is the story of a fresh graduate who usually faces this problem of trying to find a balance between the crazy demands of a professional life and the way of his heart. In doing so, he comes upon a crazy way which turns his world and his career. Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year sure seems to be a promising film and if this film is a hit at the box office, then it will be a hatrick for actor Ranbir Kapoor.
