पंख में बिपाशा के छह रूप

जहां बॉलीवुड के कई सितारे अपनी आने वाली फिल्मों में नये रूपों के माध्यम से चर्चा में हैं। वहीं बिंदास बंगाली बाला बिपाशा बसु ने अपनी आने वाली फिल्म “पंख” के लिए कई चेहरे बदले है। और इन रूपों में सेक्सी दिखने के लिए बिपाशा ने कई किलो वजन भी कम किया हैं। लेकिन जिम जाकर नहीं, बल्कि डाइट के माध्यम से। इस फिल्म में बिपाशा ड्रीमगर्ल के रूप में नजर आएंगी, जो सिर्फ फिल्म के अभिनेता के सपनों में दिखेगी। बिपाशा इस फिल्म में परी, राजकुमारी और सेक्सी गर्ल आदि के रूपों में नजर आएंगी।

Sultan Rahi and Principal of Evil Marksmanship

It seems all effects of Sultan Rahi not dented by single bullet and Ametab being able to successfully destroy whole Island of villain has a proper name, it is called Principal of Evil Marksmanship. Wikipedia explains and details it very nicely.

The term first appeared in film critic Roger Ebert’s 1980 book “Little Movie Glossary”,[1] and had been submitted by Jim Murphy of New York. It was defined as:

“ The bad guys are always lousy shots in the movies. Three villains with Uzis will go after the hero, spraying thousands of rounds which miss him, after which he picks them off with a handgun. ”

So finally I know the name of the art being followed by our film heroes (yes I still call it film, Guardian does it too). Although Hollywood is also pron to it (that’s why they have name for it ) but somehow their films execute same idea quite gracefully. I remember a scene in which Sultan Rahi and her female accomplice were avoiding bullets by just bending down quickly. Not once but again and again.

Other interesting terms on the same page are Stormtrooper Effect and One-at-a-time Attack Rule. Last one is most interesting because you see it all the time in movies.  Shahrukh Khan, Ametabh, Dharmendar and even Jackie Chen, they all fight one to one, now they have progressed to 2 at a time. 3 people attacking at same time is rarity. And why the hell only one person in whole gang has the gun, and all the guys are fighting to get it; if you remember last scene of Don (original version).

Top Earners in Bollywood

Here are the big numbers the big boys (and gals) quote in Bollywood.

Aishwarya Rai, the Queen Bee, takes home 6 crores.

Priyanka Chopra pockets 5 crores.

It is a close competition for Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. while Kapoor makes 3.5 crores, Kaif is at 3 crores.

Among the menfolk, Akshay Kumar is King despite back to back flops in 2009. He gets a whopping 15 crores per movie.

Aamir Khan’s price is now 13 to 14 crores.

Surprisingly, Shahrukh Khan is getting just 12 crores. Surprising because he cashed in on his star status more than any other guy, save Amitabh Bachchan.

Movie Review: Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna (2009)

1 Star

Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna aspires to be a moving drama about marital fidelity, but it lacks the emotional maturity to achieve its goal.

The movie focuses on the troubled marriage of Australian residents Samir (Salman Khan) and Raina Khanna (Kareena Kapoor). Samir, who is depressed because he can’t find a job, distances himself from Raina, who’s worried on his behalf. He decides that his only option is to leave Melbourne and try his luck in Singapore.

Raina is sad about leaving her friends and her job as a waitress, but she goes to the airport with her husband. There, he springs the news on her that she won’t be joining him in Singapore. Instead, she’s going to live with his disapproving parents in Delhi. The movie never explains why this is necessary; the decision only serves to prove that Samir is controlling.

Raina decides not to board the flight to Delhi. A waiter at an airport cafe, Akash (Sohail Khan), helps her start her new, solo life in Melbourne. Raina declares that she’s just killing time until Samir makes his fortune and returns for her, but Akash falls for her anyway.

Here, Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna takes an audacious turn: nothing unexpected happens. There are no twists, no moments where a character makes a life-changing decision. Samir succeeds and returns for Raina, and she goes with him. That’s it.

I don’t feel bad revealing those plot details because the movie is very clear about what is going to happen. Raina never — not even for an instant — expresses the slightest romantic interest in Akash. She doesn’t even realize he has a crush on her. If she did, it would force her consider him as a sexual partner, thereby destroying the image of the ideal woman that Raina is supposed to represent: somewhat independent but unquestionably devoted to her husband.

The characters lack depth not just from the way they’re written, but also from the way they are acted. When Akash reveals the pain he felt when his parents divorced, Raina responds with an inappropriate smile.

Debutant writer and director Prem Soni has a lot to learn. (Lesson #1: Why comic barnyard sound effects have no place in a relationship drama.) This first effort is a bland movie full of emotional simpletons. I fear that, if Soni wrote an adaptation of The Little Mermaid, the story would read like this: “A mermaid wanted to become a human, so she did. The End.”
