Do you still remember the hit song Jai Ho from the movie Slumdog Millionaire? The song has a very catchy tune, and the lyrics is very poetic. (I just knew the english translation yesterday). The movie Slumdog Millionaire also is something worth watching!
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup. Set and filmed in India, the film tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Kaun Banega Crorepati in the Hindi version) and exceeds people’s expectations, thereby arousing the suspicions of the game show host and of law enforcement officials.

And here’s the song..
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of life
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee
Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..
Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
Slowly Slowly Really I lost my life
Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
Spent my nights dancing on coal
Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
I blew the sleep in my eyes with air from my mouth
Neele Tare Se Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
I burned my finger with blue star
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of life
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee
Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..
Chakh Le, Ha Chakh Le, Ye Raat Shahad Hai.. Chakh Le
Taste it, yes taste it, this night is honey, taste it
Rakh Le, Ha Dil Hai, Dil Aakhri Had Hai.. Rakh Le
Keep it, yes this is heart, heart is last limit.. Keep it
Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
(your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?
Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
(your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of life
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads
Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..
Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Tu Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Kab De
Since when, yes since when, you have stopped at my lips.. since when
Kab De, Ha Kab De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Kab De
Since when, yes since when, (your) eyes are closed.. since when
Aisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Dono Bhi Hai Hai Kya
Like this, Like this, lightening eyes, making both lightened, yes, yes, what?
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of life
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

After a spate of films like Aamir, Mumbai Meri Jaan and A Wednesday, comes Shoot ‘On’ Sight…. This Jag Mundhra film dwells on the blasts of 2005 and the killing of Jean Charles De Menezes in the London tube. However, Mundhra tries to establish a connect by making his innocent victim an Asian Muslim Baqir Hassan (Avtar Kaul).
A slow but gripping film, Shoot On Sight focuses on the turbulent life of Commander Tariq Ali (the charismatic Naseeruddin Shah), a Muslim police officer at Scotland Yard. Ali is born in Pakistan, married to an English woman (Greta Scacchi), with two kids.
Anyway, the film sees Commander Tariq Ali heading the investigation team after a suspected terrorist, Baqir, gets killed by a police officer on the tube platform.
Of course, the more Ali investigates, the clearer it becomes that Baqir was shot without valid reason, and soon the racial and communal discrimination that led to Baqir’s death seeps into Ali’s life. Meanwhile, Zaheer, Ali’s nephew (Mikaal Zulfiqar from Pakistan) comes to live with Ali and his family. The plot becomes more complicated when photos of Tariq meeting a childhood friend from Lahore, who happens to be an extremist Imam (Om Puri), end up in the newspaper.
PERFORMANCES:
The story unfolds in a less didactic manner but soon changes gear. The Imam’s preaching on jihad and what is right or wrong sound too clichéd. Om Puri as the Imam has done a good job but his character is no different from the fundamentalist Imams in Mahesh Bhatt’s Dhoka or the Pakistani film Khuda Ke Liye. In spite of his stature, Naseer’s role had nothing new to offer, but the actor definitely looks sharp and perfectly suits the role of an investigating officer.
Two more characters that deserve a mention are Laila Rouass as Ali’s assistant and Gulshan Grover as Ali’s friend. Both have given convincing performances in their own ways.
The MOTIVE
By trying to convey that law-abiding Muslims don’t want to be identified with Islamic terrorists and violent radicals, the film manages to touch a chord to a large extent.
The FLAWS:
A few questions are left unanswered in the film. Points like how could Naseeruddin, who was out of commission, get a gun and how did he shoot Zaheer without orders from his seniors leave one bewildered for a while. Tariq becomes a hero overnight after the climax… even gets a promotion, while he ought to have been in the lockup. Or do we have to take it as cinematic liberties?
The plot has too many coincidences. Occasionally, some interesting, timely messages about racial profiling come up, but none of these issues are explored meaningfully or sensitively. The film has too many poorly written dramatic scenes that drag on.
Shoot on Sight somehow has the feel of a small screen drama, which could run over two three episodes a la CID or Special Squad. Viewed on the silver screen, it looks a bit too shoddy and unimpressive.
VERDICT: Shoot On Sight would have done well in India, had it released before Dhoka, Aamir or A Wednesday.
I love watching movies. Always have, for as long as I remember. I can watch any movie and enjoy it except for the ghost movies and some stupid superhero flicks.
When I was growing up in the late eighties and early nineties, Bollywood was probably going through its worst phase. The super heroes of Hindi cinema were getting older and to hold on to their careers they were starring in senseless potboilers peppered with mind-numbing action and stupid songs with pathetic dance sequences.
But I loved them. Growing up in a small town called Mughal Sarai near Varanasi, that was all you got those days. Cable television had yet to arrive so the two standalone cinema halls in the town were the only places of entertainment.
But even that was an occasional event. For, a 12-year-old kid wouldn’t be allowed to go for a movie alone or even with friends, you had to go with someone older than you. For me and my brother our uncle, who was twice my age, used to be our only hope.
Provided, he was in the mood to tag us along for a movie. And that happened only perhaps once in two or three months. So we had no option but to for the Sunday evening movies on Doordarshan even though they played old flicks from the sixties and seventies.
The most exciting parts of course were the action sequences that unfortunately came only in the last 20 mins when the hero would beat the villain to pulp and police would come only to say “you’re under arrest” to the villain who was by then half dead.
Slowly word started spreading that there was something called cable TV and if you got connection you could see as many movies as you like. I was told that there were channels that showed only movies throughout the day. And you even had English movie channels that showed movies of Hollywood stars you had only heard or read about.
Wow! That sounded so cool. Names like Stallone, Bruce Lee and Schwarzenegger (Arnold’s name I had heard for the first time from a friend who was bragging about having seen a movie called Terminator in Calcutta. But he couldn’t catch the last name and called him ‘Swizenberger’ ) were filtering in through the grapevine. We couldn’t wait to get the cable connection.
But my parents obviously did not share our excitement. “Cable TV? Your board exams are only six months away,” my mother said, effectively putting an end to the conversation. However, there was a silver lining when after days of pleading she said, “Let your exams get over and if you score well, then we’ll see.”
That was enough motivation to take to studies with a religious zeal. Months passed, exams came and went, I did well despite many odds (a story for another time).
Then came the day we got our cable connection. A dream was fulfilled. Now I could see as many movies as I liked. But alas the Hollywood action flicks I used to dream about were not being shown. I checked the listings in the newspapers everyday and both Hindi & English channels were churning out duds (by my standards because they were not action flicks).
Finally after a few weeks I caught my first Bruce Lee film — “Enter the Dragon”. And my idea of an action film changed forever. Now all the punches of an ageing Dharmendra or Mithun Chakraborty couldn’t hold my attention. I had seen Lee in action.
Then one after the other came Rambo, Terminator, 36 Chambers of Shaolin the list was endless. Some I caught on TV some and on video cassettes (by then the only video shop in town was beginning to stock Hollywood flicks).
Years passed and I graduated to watching serious cinema both in Indian languages and world movies, but even now I feel as excited watching the reruns of those fantastic action flicks that blew me away from watching the tame stuff dished out by Bollywood.
I was watching one of my favourite movies today ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’. I think I first saw the film in Bhopal at the EME center officer’s mess there. Most of my early exposure to Western cinema was in the army or at the Gymkhana clubs at the open air theaters. The officer’s mess had a huge collection of all the army and war films. All the ‘Navarone’ films. Dirty Dozens and Nazis and the Japanese and anything with planes. Of course there were all the real Westerns where I got introduced to all the Clint Eastwood films and guns and the American outback.
I remember seeing ‘Top Gun’ in Udhampur at the EME workshop there. A fresh NDA brat suggested it to me. I never saw the air show the same again. That was the time I saw ‘Air America’ and some obscure war films that I have not been able to find again. There was even a healthy collection of patriotic Bollywood films from Manoj Kumar Classics to some modern day films.
When the sergent tells Mayo ‘Get into your fatigues Mayo, by the end of this weekend I will have your DOR’ I cannot wait to watch the following scene.
Today I make films myself and it’s amazing how one goes from watching films to making them. My alternate realities.
I am looking for a producer who ‘gets’ my vision and I get closer everyday. It’s been a rather interesting few weeks trying to explain my vision to people here in Hyderabad. Sometimes I feel they undrstand everything and just don’t want to take a chance and sometimes I feel they have no clue what the hell I am talking about.
When you are a clearing for a film, you want to fill it so badly and yet, you have to hold the space to get it done the right way. It takes so much patience and positivity to do that. That is where I spend so much energy. To keep myself as a clearing.

A refreshing and unpretentious film that throws cynicism out of the window and supplants it with some much needed idealism.Ranbir is brilliant in his well nuanced performance that does away with the carefully cultivated ’star’ look of his previous films.
As Harpreet Singh Bedi,Ranbir is probably the first non-stereotypical presentaion of a sardar in Hindi films….he is not the joker of the film,nor a bhangra dancing buffoon,nor a Pak defeating soldier…..he is just a regular young lad of urban India out to make his mark in his first job as a computer salesman .He does not wear loud sherwani’s,does not twirl his moustache endlessly and within the first 10 mins you even stop noticing he is a Sikh.Finally a Punjabi/sardar boy minus the ‘balley balley’ and ‘hadippa’ quotient…and it works.
Gauhar Khan as the office receptionist is well cast and gives a good performance but the thunder is stolen mostly by the computer engineer Giri(D.Santosh) and Cup-plate (Mukesh Bhatt).The only disappointment is the ‘new introduction’ Shazan Padamsee but that hardly matters as romance is incidental to the movie and treated with a casual,fresh approach totally missing from the usual Bollywood flick.
The casting is spot on and the Shimit’s eye for detail impressive.Its a movie which tells an ordinary story in a down to earth manner.The second half is slow but this is anyway not a movie where some great secret has to be revealed at the end so one remains in one’s seat without keeling over with boredom.Those in similar office situations and those who have one up the ladder after surviving the mayhem of an Indian office will find a lot to identify with.
The film may not appeal to all sections of the audience but should touch a chord with young,aspiring and struggling urban India.So go and watch Harpreet Singh Bedi as he struggles to meet his sales targets while trying to hold on to his innate honesty and value system.
Chirunavvutho was a Telugu movie in 2001. This movie was directed by Vijay Bhaskar. This movie was a fabulous hit not because of hero not because director. Only writer Trivikram Srinivas is the man behind the movie success.
He has penned good story line with perfect script. Punch dialogues which comes only from his pen are the added advantage. Hero Venu Thottempudi has acted according to the story lines and Trivikram’s dialogues.
Ace comedian Sunil has attracted the audience notice with this movie only. Prakash Raj has appeared in one his best. Prema played a key role.
Movie came with low profile. Audio was also not a big success. Only hopes because same team worked for the movie Swayamvaram which was super duper hit in 1999. but movie has bagged huge success.
Akshay Kumar seems to be having a whole lot of fun underwater, with his latest film Blue.So what is he doing under the sea? Well, he is romancing a haseena with much more than just kaatil adayein– why? because it is a shark that he has fallen in love with.
“Aadmi apne aap se bhaag sakta hai apni kismat se nahi”, says the latest promo of Blue, where Akshay Kumar is seen surrounded by gam of sharks, dodging them under water, reason enough to bite nails.
Akki, Sanju and Katrina starrer Blue is being vouched as the first under water action thriller of Bollywood. Directed by Anthony D’Souza, the film boasts of an outstanding star cast of Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan, Katrina Kaif and Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue, who apart from singing is in a smoking hot number with Akki.
Based on the story of three friends who are involved in an under water treasure hunt, the men are seen flaunting their pliant bodies, women are squirming in water with their lethal bodies. The multi-million project, shot in the Bahamas, Phuket, Bangkok and Mumbai had Akki, Sanju and Zyed shooting with real sharks while filming their stunts. In one such sequence, Akshay accidentally hit against the metal of a sunken ship while shooting. But before sharks could come following the smell of his blood, he was safely pulled out of water.
Inspired from Hollywood flicks like Jaws and The Deep, no stone has been left unturned to give an international feel to this movie. While the actors got special training for undersea diving, Blue also boasts of a song sequence with the whole cast under water. Hollywood technician Nickolette Skarlatos and Clarabelle Saldanha have given an international look to Lara Dutta which is very similar to that of Megan Fox. With music from maestro AR Rahman, Blue is definitely worth-a-watch this Diwali.
Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh flaunted six-pack abs, but Shahid Kapoor is doing two better — he will show off eight-pack abs in his forthcoming film “Chance Pe Dance”.
Trainer Abbas Ali said they managed to achieve the new look in a very short time for
“Chance Pe Dance”, directed by Ken Ghosh.
“Shahid had to look cosmetically presentable. After ‘Kaminey’ we had only two months in hand to change his complete look. It’s Shahid’s sheer hard work, dedication and consistency that transformed him from what he used to look a couple of years ago to his present look,” Abbas told IANS.
“His body in ‘Chance Pe Dance’ is better than all his previous films. Shahid told me that dancers are coming from abroad and he wants to look like god and move like god. I had to change the entire training to bring that look along with flexibility and muscle endurance which was required for his dance performance,” he said.
Shahid first started working on his body for Vishal Bharadwaj’s “Kaminey” as he had to run with horses in a scene.
“Shahid didn’t have a muscular body. I was training him only for fitness. Shahid didn’t want a picture perfect body in ‘Kaminey’ because the film shows that he comes from street and doesn’t workout in high-tech gym,” said Abbas.
For “Chance Pe Dance” Shahid needed a sculpted body and practiced five days a week. He also had to work on his diet.
“Shahid is a vegetarian and he doesn’t even takes egg so first class protein, which is required to build lean muscle, was not there. White carbohydrate was removed from his diet, like white potatoes and pasta. We added brown carbohydrate like brown rice, sweet potato, oats instead.
“We didn’t go for low carbohydrates because if you go for low carbohydrates your performance level goes down in real life. He has to dance so we couldn’t go for low carbohydrates.”
“Chance Pe Dance”, in which Shahid plays a struggling actor opposite Genelia D’Souza, is set for a Jan 15 release.
OOOoooo..my god….m sooo waiting for dis oone..yet another feast for my eyes afta DBH!!:-p!!
Himesh Reshammiya induces extreme reactions in people. He started out as a singer known for his nasal tone and the cap and going oooooooo into the mike like a wolf baying at the moon. Then came the movies. Aap Ka Suroor received a decent response while Karzzzz just made the audience groan.
Undeterred by the boos, the man has five movies in his kitty of which Radio will release this weekend. He gets to play loverboy to two lovely ladies, Sonal Sehgal and Shenaz Treasurywala.
