With a marvelous soundtrack of My Name is Khan behind them, Shankar Ehsaan Loy are back again. This time it’s Karthik Calling Karthik. The movie stars Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone in the lead. The soundtrack of Karthik Calling Karthik consists of 9 tracks, out of which 6 are originals and 3 are remixes. Let’s get down to Karthik Calling Karthik music review.

Karthik Calling Karthik Music Review

1. Hey Ya!

The soundtrack opens with the melodius Hey Ya! This song is a chartbuster from the word go, especially with the college going junta aka Youngistan. Melody is so catchy that you’ll keep Hey Ya! on loop in your media player or iPod. It’s been sung by the trio of Clinton Cerejo, Shankar Mahadevan and Loy Mendonsa. English lyrics blend perfectly with the hindi ones. Hey Ya! is sheer brilliance!

2. Uff Teri Adaa

Shankar Ehsaan Loy keeps the magic going with Uff Teri Adaa. A perfect number for clubs, Uff Teri Adaa is another chartbuster. Music video is out and Deepika looks stunning in that. Uff Teri Adaa kind of belongs to trance genre but with a desi touch. Shankar Mahadevan is behind the mic, but with Alyssa Mendonsa. This song keeps on becoming awesome with each listen. Don’t miss this one!

3. Jaane ye Kya Hua Hai

With Jaane Ye Kya Hua, we are kind of back in Wake Up Sid universe, and it’s not a bad thing! Another college campus song, Jaane Ye Kya Hua could have been an average affair but thanks to KK, it’s not. Javed Akhtar shows his magic again with his lyrics. Just chill out with your partner and listen to this one.

4. Kaisi Hai Ye Udaasi

The soundtrack takes a detour with Kaisi Hai Ye Udaasi. To be honest, this song sounds out of place, but I’m not saying it is a bad song. It’s very good, and Kailash Kher and Sukanya Purayastha have sung it beautifully. It’s definitely a background song. I just hope that they don’t make it melo-dramatic in the movie.

5. Karthik Calling Karthik

Another background song, I’m really not sure what to think of Karthik Calling Karthik. This song is a grower, for sure. Tempo is slow, and it gives you a mysterious feel.

6. Karthik 2.0

With Karthik 2.0, we are back in business. This time it’s the Midival Punditz who are creating the magic. I still remember their version of Don, one of my favorites. Filled with guitar riffs, Karthik 2.0 is mind-blowing.

Final Verdict

I was really hoping that Farhan Akhtar would sing at least one song in the soundtrack because his voice is really suitable for this youthful album. But, he’s not in the list. Anyway, Karhik Calling Karthik’s music is made for the young generation, and it’ll certainly appeal to them. Length of most of the songs is around 4 minutes, except Kaisi Hai Ye Udaasi.

With Hey Ya! and Uff Teri Adaa, Shankar Ehsaan Loy have two big chartbusters in their hands. After My Name is Khan, the trio has proved again why they’re one of the best in the music business right now. Go out and buy the CD of Karthik Calling Karthik!

Billu Barber Movie Review

newsdose

Billu Barber or Billu, as many would say, especially people from the Salon and Beauty Parlour associations, is ‘delightful’, if I’ve to describe it in one word. Starring Irfan Khan, Lara Dutta in the lead and with Shahrukh Khan in a supporting role, Billu Barber is a perfect film to watch in this love season.

Synopsis

Directed by Priyadarshan, and produced by Shahrukh’s own production house, Red Chilies Entertainment, Billu Barber is a film about a barber, Billu (Irrfan Khan), living in a village called “Budbuda” in Uttar Pradesh. Along with him, there is his wife Bindiya (Lara Dutta), their two kids, and a whole village which is filled with nincompoops. Billu’s life is not that great, to say the least, he has no money to pay the fees of kids education, no money to buy new chair, scissor, and even a comb for his shop. But, the optimistic Billu carries on his life until Sahir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) comes to the village for shooting.

The whole village goes crazy and the word goes around that Billu and Sahir are childhood friends. And this is when the whole life of Billu turns upside down. People who never helped him suddenly start showering him with favors, even the school authorities who are ready to pay the fees from their school fund, but only on one condition, Billu has to talk to Sahir and invite him to their school function. But our Billu is too ashamed to go in front of him.

Story is simple

The story of Billu Barber is simple, and that was what required for this film. It’s also predictable and you can guess the ending of the film before even entering the cinema hall but you’ll never lose your interest in the film, particularly because of the performances and the witty dialogues.

Script is strong

The script is top notch but with very few flaws here and there. One of the strongest points of the script is that it is straight to point and it never alienates from its main point, which is the difference between the worlds of Shahrukh Khan and Irrfan Khan, which was very essential to create the mood of the film. Billu Barber is filled with many funny moments, especially the one involving Om Puri and Asrani when Om Puri comes to Billu’s shop to gift him a chair. I won’t tell the scene because if I did then it would kill the fun.

Music is good

Music, as I earlier said in the music review, is very good. Marjani and Love Mera Hit Hit are already chartbusters in the whole India. You Get Me Rockin & Reeling, which sounds average on the first listening is good, too, all thanks to hot Priyanka Chopra. The other songs which shine are Billu Bhayankar and Jaoon Kahan. Ae Aa O was really not required in the film. Background score was above average.

They censored out the words “Hajaam” and “Barber” from the song Billu Bhayankar which really killed the song. I don’t see what’s so bad about these words.

The Three Divas

If you’ve Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra doing item numbers in a single movie then whistles are always expected and that is what exactly happened when all three came on screen. Out of all three, it’s Priyanka who takes the cake. Priyanka is hotness at its best in “You Get Me Rockin & Reeling”. The whole “glamour quotient” which was absent in the film was fulfilled with these three songs.

Outstanding Performances

Irrfan Khan, as Billu, shines in the movie and is the show stealer. Appearing as a lead actor in a commercial film for the first time, Irrfan Khan gives his best and it shows on screen. He is undoubtedly, one of the best actors of our time, and is no longer under-rated. Watch out for that scene when he calls in Shahrukh’s hotel in hope to talk to him, and check out his expressions and the modulation in his voice, mind blowing!

Lara Dutta is amiable in her role and shows her acting talent. The other heroines who refused the role might be regretting it now after watching her performance. The child artists playing the kids in the movie are confident and their comic timing is perfect. Their relationship with Irrfan and Lara looks authentic.

Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani are good, too. They handle the comedy department of the film very well.

The Last Twenty Minutes

It’s the last twenty minutes when Shahrukh comes and drop the “emosanal (emotional) bomb” on you when he gives a speech to school kids where he recalls his childhood days and his friend Billu. Role of Shahrukh is not that big and in most of the part, he is playing himself. But at the end, he shows why he is the best actor in Bollywood, along with Aamir Khan, and why we cry every time he gets emotional.

That speech and the meeting of Irrfan and Shahrukh is the high point of the movie. Often we see people talking on their cell phones during the movie, but in those 20 minutes, no one talked. If they were getting calls, they didn’t answer it. Those 20 minutes truly absorb you in the movie, and it makes sure that you cry.

Negative points of Billu Barber

If film lacks somewhere then it is the first half of the film, maybe because the attention given to the role of Shahrukh Khan which was not required. First half should have been totally about Billu and his life and how he copes up with all the stress.

Dubbing is also not good, you can clearly see them saying things which are not audible and the timing is not perfect. It’s the high time we adopt the sync sound technology and trash the dubbing system. Editing could have better and some places. Background score could have been better especially during the ending.

Verdict –

Billu Barber is a very simple, sweet and innocent film portraying the power of friendship. It’s undoubtedly Priyadarshan’s best work till date. Billu Barber belongs to Billu, Irrfan Khan, for his powerful performance, and he is, indubitably, one of the strongest contenders for the best actor award next year. Lara Data and the supporting cast shines in their roles.

Shahrukh Khan in his small role hits all the right notes and he plays his best cards during the ending where he lifts the standard of the movie to a whole new level with his powerful speech.
Billu Barber is a must watch film, especially since it’s released near Valentine’s Day.

Take your friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, or your family along with you and enjoy this sweet film.

Chandni Chowk To China Movie Review

newsdose

Chandni Chowk To China

Chandni Chowk To China, 2009’s first big release, starring Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, and Ranvir Shorey, finally hit the big screen. Chandni Chowk To China was expected to break all the box office collections but the record collections of Ghajini set a new a bar for this film. Hype around the movie is good and we can expect some great news for Bollywood trade analysts.

Produced by Warner Bros, this is Nikhil Advani’s first directorial project after the not so good, Salaam-E-Ishq. And he doesn’t leave the opportunity to include a clipping of the film in this one. Looks like he also got the fever of mentioning his old work just like Yash Raj Films, Dhoom anyone? But let’s not talk about that, and let’s review Chandni Chowk To China.

Synopsis

Chandni Chowk To China is about the story of a nincompoop named Sidhu (Akshay Kumar), living in the crowded area of Chandni Chowk, and is a cook by profession. His problem is that he believes too much in luck and doesn’t want to work hard to achieve success. In short, he wants fame and money easily, just like our Indian youth, who audition for Roadies every year in search of fame. But our Sidhu doesn’t have Roadies, so he spends most of his time in buying lottery, and showing his hand to astrologers.

And with this, Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey) comes into the picture, who takes the advantage of Sidhu’s ingenuousness by stealing money from him. But Sidhu’s Dada (Mithun Chakraborty) tells him to work hard and not believe in this non-sense. Fair Enough.

But Sidhu’s destiny changes when some Chinese from a village come to India in search of their great warrior, Liu Shengh, who is supposed to be re-incarnated as Sidhu. They want him to kill the villain of the movie, Hojo, who is ruling their village. Phew! That’s just too much stuff. But there is a whole story of Deepika Padukone, playing the role of Saki, who believes that her father and twin sister, played also by her as Meow, are still alive. Don’t blame me if you’re confused.

Action is bad!

Enough of the story, let’s see how the film fairs. First things first, Chandni Chowk To China is a hybrid of Bollywood’s 80s melodrama and Chinese action movies. Some of the sequences remind me of the famous movie, Shaolin Soccer. Action is supposed to be the UPS of the movie since it is based on Kung-Fu, but it really comes close to our Rajnikant style action, for example; with one kick, Akshay Kumar can almost cause a Tsunami and blows the big boats in air, you know what I’m saying?

Confused director

Another thing which goes against the film is the confusion of the director. He doesn’t know if he wants to make it a comedy or a drama or non-brainer action film. For example; in one scene we see all of them trying to make us laugh and in the very next scene we see a river coming out of Deepika Padukone’s eyes in the form of tears, well not literally. There is no consistency in the scenes. In short there is a chaos of emotions in the movie.

Director also tries to spoof the shopping network programs, which we see often on various channels, but sadly, he falls flat on his face. There was nothing funny about it and Deepika ends up looking like an idiot, which maybe was intentional.

Technical Depratment

Dubbing is seriously third class, even if we cut out the Chinese part, dubbing sucks big time. You can clearly see them saying different dialogues or nothing at all, but you can still hear dialogues. That’s a shame! How about doing us a favor and start using sync-sound technology? Editing really needs some work and some scenes are really not required which increase the length of the movie for no reason.

Most of the songs are used as background scores, which is a good thing, except Chandni Chowk to China. Songs are good, which I already mentioned in my music review. The Rap song is used in the end credits. Chak Lein De is the best in the movie. Cinematography is great, and scenes of Great Wall of China are beautifully captured.

Performances are top class

Performance of Akshay Kumar is top notch. I’ve no complaints against him. He gives his 100% in the movie and his efforts clearly shows. Character of Sidhu looks totally natural on him, and his comedy talents shine again. Ranvir Shorey is not wasted in the movie, like he was wasted in Singh is Kinng, and he shows his talents again and proves why he is one of the best actors of our times. Mithun Da is good as usual, you can clearly see the same intensity in his role which we saw in Guru.

But Deepika Padukone shines as Meow. Her role oozes hotness in every frame and that Chinese make up and long hair, hotness at its best. She’s really good in action scenes, too. It looks like we found another action chick after Priyanka Chopra. I would love to see her doing more action roles. Her performance as Saki is average and sometimes, she really over acts.

Verdict

Chandni Chowk To China is not a great cinema, intellectually, but can be entertaining watch. It’s undoubtedly better than Singh is Kinng and Welcome. Akshay Kumar shines again, with Ranvir Shorey who gives a power house performance. Deepika Padukone is great as Meow but she really needs to work on crying scenes.

Technical department of the film fails, especially in editing and dubbing. About 15 minutes could have been cut easily. Movie is filled with a lot of loopholes and script writer is to be blamed here.

Nikhil Advani really needs to work on his direction. I wonder how he made Kal Ho Na Ho. If Karan Johar ghost directed the movie then I can understand. If they’re making a sequel of this then please improve the action scenes. Show us some Bourne style or James Bond style stuff.

And do watch out for the products they sell in the movie, a machine which can translate any language, an umbrella which can be used as a parachute and can also be used as protection against weapons, I only wonder what material they use because it really contradicts both the uses. And yeah, there is one machine which can make you dance, which is good for guys, who want to impress girls. Only if they were true, sigh!

Billu Barber Music Review

newsdose

Billu Barber, Red Chillies production, is already making waves for its hot item numbers which feature top actresses of Bollywood; Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. First things first, Billu Barber is the film of Irrfan Khan and not Shahrukh Khan, which many people are assuming. It’s the first time that Pritam is giving music for Shahrukh’s production and same with Neeraj, who is giving background voice for Shahrukh Khan.

The soundtrack of Billu Barber comprises of 15 tracks, yes 15, and out of that, 7 are originals and the rest of the tracks are remixes. Well, the first thing that goes in favor of Billu Barber is the wide range of songs. From typical club bangers to village anthems, everything is in there. And for the first time after Jab We Met, songs don’t appear to be copy of South Korean artists, I hope it’s true, Pritam. Now, let’s review the soundtrack.

1. Marjaani

The opening track of the soundtrack, also the first promo of the movie, featuring Kareena Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan, is already a hit among the masses. Most of the credit should be given to Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan. The voice of Sukhwinder is perfect and Sunidhi adds her own magical touch. I don’t think any other singer can do so much justice to this number. Also, credit should be given to Pritam, for providing the rocking music.

Lyrics are top notch, but people who are not much used to Punjabi lyrics and the language, can find it difficult to understand the lyrics. But, when the music is so thumping, you hardly get a chance to think about the lyrics, if you’re in a club.

2. Love Mera Hit Hit

Love Mera Hit Hit, is undoubtedly, the biggest club number of the year, I don’t think any song in 2009 will be able to match its energy, and enthusiasm. Add to that super hot dance number of Deepika Padukone, Love Mera Hit Hit, is a sure shot hit. The real star of the song is, of course, Neeraj Shridhar. Tulsi Kumar, can be wrong choice for some, and honestly, I didn’t like her during the first listen. But, she grows on you gradually. Sunidhi or Shreya could have done a better job, considering Shreya Ghoshal did an awesome job in Latoo, in the soundtrack of Ghajini.

Music is of the highest quality, and sets the mood for a perfect dance number. What makes this song a contender for the national anthem of this year is the lyrics, especially on the chorus. Ashish Pandit and Mayur Puri have done a wonderful job with the lyrics and Pritam has done his job again.

3. You Get Me Rockin & Reeling

You Get Me Rockin & Reeling, supposedly to be performed by Priyanka Chopra and Shahrukh Khan can be a letdown to some. Unlike the first two songs, You Get Me Rockin & Reeling will not catch your attention during the first listen and it’ll take a lot of plays to grow on you. But, I think the music video of the song will change everything because if we go by the cover art of the album, music video of this song will be the best of the three.

Neeraj can’t do much of a job in this song because he doesn’t get so much scope to perform, and add to that some English verses, which were not required at all. The only high point of the song is the chorus, which surprisingly, is also used in another song in the album.

4. Ae Aa O

I don’t have really much to write about Ae Aa O, as it is not that original, but the guitar riffs in the starting rocks! Well, the song is basically about how great I’m. It’ll certainly appeal to those who think that they are the best and need some song to send out that message.

Music doesn’t have any consistency, sometimes it’s a total bore and sometimes, especially during the guitar riffs, it just blows you away. KK tries really hard to make it amiable but succeed to some extent, but the 5 minute length of the song kills it in the first place.

5. Jaoon Kahan

After 4 songs belonging to Shahrukh Khan, Jaoon Kahan is about the emotions of Irrfan Khan. Sung beautifully by Raahat Fateh Ali Khan, Jaoon Kahan is one of the best songs of the album. I’ve noticed that Raahat Fateh Ali Khan has a unique ability to take any average song to a whole new level with his voice, and Pritam knows it very well.

Lyrics clearly describe the emotions of Irrfan Khan, and all the credit goes Sayeed Quadri. The main backdrop of the song, can sometimes make you remember Teri Ore, from Singh is Kinng. Emotions are perfect and you’ll love this song, and honestly, you will not mind the length of the song.

6. Billoo Bhayankar

Billoo Bhayankar really tests the talent of Pritam and surprisingly, he passes with 100 out of 100 with this one. Billoo Bhayankar is not a chartbuster song, and some songs are never meant to be chartbusters, they are meant for critical acclaim. From singing style to lyrics to music and the music instruments, everything is unique.

The success of the song belongs to Gulzar, who wrote wonderful lyrics for the song, and probably the most difficult ones. Ajay Jhingaran, Raghuveer and Kalpana have done a brilliant job in rendering their voice to the song. It would certainly be a high point in the movie.

7. Khudaya Khair

Khudaya Khair is a typical romantic number but refreshing Soham Chakraborty, In Dino fame, is a surprise inclusion in the song and he is the one who make this song a worthwhile listen. Akriti Kakkar and Monali do a good job in supporting the vocals of Soham. Lyrics are fine and the chorus of this song is the same that of You Get Me Rockin & Reeling.

Verdict

Billu Barber is a clear winner for Pritam, who for the first time gives us some original music. Marjaani and Love Mera Hit Hit are the two number ones hits of 2009. Soundtrack comprises of critical material such as Billoo Bhayankar and Jaoon Kahan.

The rest of the three original songs are average and only one of them has the ability to be a hit when the music video will be released. The biggest downfall of the album is the 8 remixes. If I gave an extra star to Dostana for not including any remix then I’ve to cut 1 star from Billu Barber for including so many remixes. Honestly, there was no need of so many remixes.

Nevertheless, Billu Barber is a great album and it’s a good start for Billu Barber, the movie.

Cast – Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Shahrukh Khan.

Music Director – Pritam

Movie Director – Priyadarshan

Indian Internet Society

newsdose

Gone are those good old days when our parents used to sit with neighbors and discuss if their children got into IIT or cleared CAT and then making fun of them if they didn’t.

And also gone are those beautiful days when we used to sit around with our friends and discuss who got laid with which girl or who made the best mms scandal and thus, paving the path to win the “Filmfare Best MMS Director Award.” I also remember those days when we used to play cricket in the streets and run after the ball to catch it as if it was one of our balls.

Today, thanks to World Wide Web and its social networking websites such as Orkut, Facebook, Hi5, and Twitter; we have forgotten what it was like to go out and have fun with friends. Now it’s all about the internet baby!

Under the influence of powerful desire to taste the “ADULT-eration”, teenagers make their profiles on these sites and claim to be 25 year old hunks and babes. Insecure teenage girls use the picture of Deepika Padukone as profile picture and seeing this, boys use the picture of Ranbir Kapoor and claim to be their soul mates, only to realize it later that Deepika has already changed her boyfriend.

Orkut is a heaven for poor heartbroken lovers, because now they can spy on their ex-lovers by making fake profiles which is not possible in the real world.

According to the recent survey carried out by Indian Institute of Molestation (IIM), Internet is the first step for an Indian man to be a pervert. If you’re a girl or if you’ve seen the home page of a girl’s profile, then you might know about the number of friend requests one girl gets in a single day by pervert men.

In order to become cool in front of their friends, boys claim to lose virginity by indulging in virtual sex with a girl, who might be a dude on the other end of the computer.

Real life losers are the “Cool Kids” on the internet, as they have 200+ friends in their profile out of which they don’t even know half of them and moreover, they don’t even talk to them. At least, they get the feeling that someone cares about them, who gives a damn if they get flushed in the school toilet daily, right?

And the last, the SMS language they use on such sites. Sometimes, I feel that they are raping the Good old English which is like our Bollywood actresses, simple and beautiful, but now “3xpl0it3d bY Da” Directors to be cool, and here by the teenagers.

So, there you go, a complete description of the Indian Internet Society, where perverts are made, virginity is lost to dudes, losers become heroes, languages get raped and the place where you know about the latest boyfriends of Deepika Padukone.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Movie Review

newsdose

2008’s most awaited release and first movie of Shahrukh Khan after a gap of 13 months, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, is finally out. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is special for many reasons; first being that it is the first movie of Aditya Chopra after a gap of 8 years, it marks the debut of Anushka Sharma, and at the modern time of recession and terrorism, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is expected to bring smiles at the face of both the audience and the film distributors.

So, does Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi lives up to all these expectations? Well, it surely does. It delivers what has been promised by Shahrukh Khan and Aditya Chopra, a simple yet extraordinary love story.

Set in the beautiful Amritsar, the story is about an average guy named Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan) who marries the daughter of his teacher, Taani (Anushka Sharma), due to some circumstances and how he tries to make her fall in love with him. Story is simple but effective, mainly because of the treatment given by Aditya Chopra.

One of the strongest points of the movie is the authentic look of Amritsar, brilliantly captured by Ravi K. Chandran. The other strong points of the movie are the script and direction, done brilliantly by Aditya Chopra. But Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi works because it’s simple. Yes, from lyrics of the songs to the dialogues, from sets to the storyline, everything is so simple that you just fall in love with the movie.

One more point that is worth mentioning is that many beautiful moments in the movie are without dialogues, for example; the scene in which Surinder keeps a rose with the note for Tani and then decides to put the rose away or the one in which Tani packs lunch for him for the first time and Surinder keeps on looking at the lunch box even while driving. There are many small but lovable scenes which I won’t mention so that you can enjoy the movie.

Music

Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte is, undoubtedly, the best picturized song of 2008. If you thought Farah Khan captured the 70s look perfectly then think again. Aditya Chopra takes it to the whole new level and add to that 5 actresses of Bollywood in the song, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte is a breathtaking experience.

Also the choreography of Dance Pe Chance and Haule Haule is top class. Watch out for the scene in which kids make the painting of Anushka in the song Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, you’ll love it. It’s a very creative move by Aditya. Songs and background score is top class, as I mentioned in the music review of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Performance of Anushka Sharma

Now let’s move to acting department and first we’ll talk about Anushka Sharma. One thing that I noticed is that people are comparing Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma, even the press is doing that. So who is the better actress? Anushka Sharma hands down.

She is totally lovable as the fun loving Punjabi girl and she looks beautiful, too. There is modulation in her voice which is clearly missing in Deepika and her acting is marvelous. Dialogue delivery is superb and she shows all the emotions while speaking.

All the people in theater clapped and whistled when she drove the bike, do I need to say anything more? Best debut actress of 2008 awards belongs to her.

Vinay Phatak as the friend of Shahrukh is nice and he can be a really strong contender for best supporting actor. He plays an important role in the development of Shahrukh’s character.

Performance of Shahrukh Khan

Now this brings us to Shahrukh. This role, without a doubt, is one of the best performances in his career. Playing the character of both Surinder and Raj was not an easy task considering they both are same person. Let me give you an example of that. How will you explain the dilemma of Surinder when Taani agrees to leave her marriage and decides to run away with Raj? This can be really difficult to portray but Shahrukh has done it perfectly. He is charming as Raj but his role as Surinder steals the whole show.

His quiet nature and low key voice does full justice to Surinder’s character. Emotions are clearly visible on his face, both as Surinder and Raj and he looks like 20 year old hunk as Raj and at the same time he looks like a 40 year old man as Surinder. A big applause for Shahrukh, even his haters will love him, no doubt about that. What about the reaction of audience? Whistles and claps.

Things that were not good

But Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi lacks an emotional punch which was clearly visible in DDLJ. No doubt that the story will touch your heart but there is something missing. And there are some clichés, for example; the scene in which Tani realizes that she is in love with Surinder and not Raj.

There are many other clichés which could have been easily avoided especially in the dance show. One more thing which can go against is the length of the movie. It’s not that you’ll be bored or something but some people are impatient these days. But, the movie will grab your attention during the whole time so chances are less.

Verdict

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is clearly a winner for Yash Raj Films and it can break many records because of its theme. Film works because of its simplicity and the feel good factor it carries along with it. In the modern era in which relationships are ending just like that, it clearly brings a hope that true love is still out there. Moreover, it’ll also help you to overcome the sadness which is around us due to terrorism and recession.

Anushka Sharma makes a solid debut and she is clearly the next big thing. She is not your average good looking girl who doesn’t know how to act. She has an immense amount of talent and should use it carefully.

But the real star of the movie is Shahrukh Khan. This movie clearly shows how much talented actor he is. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi will take his super star status to a whole new level, especially among the foreign audience, considering it is being released in 30 countries. Fight for the best actor award is between Hrithik Roshan and Shahrukh now but we’ve to wait for Ghajini. A sure shot blockbuster as its budget is low. Highly Recommended!

Chandni Chowk To China Music Review

newsdose

Chandni Chowk To China, to be released next year, is already making news for its subject and treatment. Starring Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone in the lead, this movie is expected to rock the box office collection. Moreover, it’s produced by Warner Bros. who are looking for their first in India after debacle Saas Bahur aur Sensex.

The soundtrack of Chandni Chowk To China is indeed very interesting. Shankar Ehsaan Loy gives their second best soundtrack of the year after the momentous Rock On!! The Chinese influence in the soundtrack is a nice touch and brings something new to the table. The soundtrack of Chandni Chowk To China comprises of 6 original tracks and 2 remixes.

1. S.I.D.H.U

Well, S.I.D.H.U is not your average track because it has lively lyrics and superb singing by Kailash Kher. Somewhere in the song you’ll also laugh because of the funny lyrics. From the song you can get the idea of the condition of Akshay Kumar in the movie. Music is of classical genre but you’ll not be bored for 1 second mainly because of lyrics and Kailash. I know I’m talking about the lyrics a lot but seriously, you’ll love the song once you listen to it.

2. Chandni Chowk To China

After the superb S.I.D.H.U, here comes the second winner of the soundtrack, the title song, Chandni Chowk To China, which was released as a song promo few days back. It starts off really well with the hip-hop music and the Chinese touch as I mentioned earlier. But I wish they’d kept it that way only during the whole song but they introduce the Indian touch after a minute. It’s not that it kills the song but I would have preferred it as Hip-Hop + Chinese song. Neeraj, Shankar, and Anushka do a splendid job in the song. A chart-buster hands down.

3. India Se Aaya Tera Dost

After a superb run, here come a letdown in the form of India Se Aaya Tera Dost, sung by Bappi Lahiri and Ravi K Tripathi. What is Bappi Lahiri doing in the song? Moreover, he can’t pronounce “Salaam” properly. Add to that 6:29 minute length of the song, this song is a big no-no!

4.Tere Naina

Tere Naina is superb, that would be an understatement for this song. Sung superbly by Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal, Tere Naina will catch your attention from the first listen only. Music is so good that sometimes I feel that I’m in the future while listening to it. I know it sounds stupid but seriously, there is something really good about this song. Best song of the soundtrack hands down and kudos to SEL for giving us such a fabulous track.

5. Chak Lein De

While S.I.D.H.U was a superb song by Kailash, Chak Lein De on the other hand is an above average song. It you listen to it 4 or 5 times it’ll surely grow on you mainly because of the lyrics and santoor in the song. Kailash gives the right amount of energy required for the song and makes it worth a listen.

6. C C 2 C

Now here we have Akhsay Kumar trying to rap in Punjabi with Punjabi rapper Bohemia. Sounds interesting, right? But Akshay is a big letdown in this one. You can clearly figure out that Akshay is trying so hard to rhyme but it’s not working at all. He sounds like a wannabe. Add to that self-proclaimed lyrics “Saara Bollywood ek mera koi nahi mel, acting karne chale hazaroon baadshah ek baaki saare fail.” This is not a very good idea Mr. Akshay Kumar. You sound really arrogant.

Verdict

Chandni Chowk To China is a sure shot winner for Shankar Ehsaan Loy and for the entire team of the movie. It’s a really fresh soundtrack with great lyrics and superb singing. Tere Naina clearly stands out and will be loved by all. Title track and S.I.D.H.U are two chart-buster songs and rest of the stuff is just average material. Also check out the covers of Chandni Chowk To China, Deepika looks stunning in her two avatars.

Rating –

Cast – Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Mithun Chakraborty, Ranvir Shorey

Music Director – Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Movie Director – Nikhil Advani

Who is the King of Bollywood?

newsdose

Day after day, I see every other Bollywood website commenting on who is the real King of Bollywood. It’s like the burning topic for the country, even more than why that “wannabe assassinator” from Bihar got shot, or why Politicians of India are not even leaving the chance to play politics on his death, or when will Raj Thackeray die, or the best question, why a BLACK Obama is going to the WHITE house? I mean these are serious questions, right? Especially the last one if you are a racist.

To the poor souls, who participate in the fight of “King of Bollywood” and ma$turbate while sitting in front of their PCs in lieu of doing something productive, I’m going to clear your doubts for once and all. To those lucky souls who never got to see such discussions, here is a sample of what happens in the fight.

But first, you’ve to realize that they fight as if they are those actors, so don’t be surprised about their use of language.

Here is a log of the fight.

*************************************************************

*Akshay Kumar Fan (AK) joined the chat on his virtual scooter with a slogan “Indian audience love brainless comedies coz they don’t have a brain”, while Shahrukh Fan (SRK) is smoking despite the ban on smoking in public chat rooms by Internet Health Minister, P0rn Lover.*

*Aamir Khan Fan (A) is busy in writing a blog entry about his love for dogs and about his new pappu, I mean puppy, Imran Khan. News Dose (ND), on the other hand, is wasting time on Orkut, Facebook, Twitter and other countless social networking sites in trying to make contacts with hot girls.*

AK: So SRK, I heard music of your new movie, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, just got released and I also heard that NewsDose gave it 5 stars. He sounds like a Fan of yours. It’s biased.

SRK: Yeah, so? It deserves it.

AK: O c’mon, you know songs suck. I mean, a harmonium in the song, really? In which year are you living? 1950? Where is the hip-hop and hot b!tches? Show me some bling and Snoop Dogg, nigga.

SRK: It would be totally inappropriate coz I’m playing a boring character in the movie just like I’m in real life. I’m boring, unromantic, and with a white hair.

AK: Yeah right! You’re boring, that’s why I’m the King of Bollywood. You know why youth loves me? Because I give them Katrina Kaif, showing her cleavage and hot a$$, on which they can drool so that they don’t give a $hit about the story.

SRK: And I give them Deepika Padukone, who changes her boyfriend every other day. I’m pretty sure Anushka will follow her footsteps.

*AK thinking – “Damn! That’s true. I don’t have any more $luts. Shilpa Shetty doesn’t talk to me now. $hit.”*

*ND drooling over the pictures of hot girls while Aamir’s fan is uploading the pictures of Aamir Khan using Imran Khan to get girls*

*After 10 seconds pause*

AK: You know what? You $uck. I’m the king. I gave 4 back to back hits.

SRK: So did me.

AK: But I gave them in one year. And guess what? I’m getting 100 crores for new movie. HA! Beat that, you @$$hole.

SRK: Any proof?

*Pause for 10 seconds*

AK: You know what? I’m getting 100 crores and that’s it. I’m the King and King is always right.

*Aamir’s fan realizes that Aamir is losing the battle*

Aamir: Hey! How the hell can you forget me? I’m the perfectionist! Muhahahaha!

SRK: And here comes the baldy.

Aamir: What did you call me? You’re a piece of my dog’s $hit, you know that?

AK: Great going, Aamir. Let’s kill him together. HAHA

Aamir: What are you laughing about, you brainless creature. Watch my movies someday and learn some story telling from it. I’m the best!

AK: Then why does your new movie, Ghajini, looks like a tamil movie? And hey, I thought we were together in this battle against SRK.

Aamir: I don’t need anyone, that’s why I kicked Amol from Taare Zameen Par and took all the credit. I’m the real KING. I’ll do the same thing for Ghajini, if it succeeds on box office.

SRK: Give me a break; you are an Idiot of 3 idiots. A dumb@$$.

*Suddenly, Salman Khan’s Fan enters the room in his virtual car and with a picture of Aishwarya in his one hand and his other hand is somewhere down.*

*ND is still busy in collecting the pictures of hot girls*

SK: What the hell is going on? *Closing the zip of his pants*

AK: Ah! Three SRK haters now. It’s fun. Tell him who’s the King, Salman.

SK: I don’t know but it is not SRK. He is one selfish guy who took my Katrina to Dubai on Diwali while I was bursting my crackers alone in my bed, if you know what I mean.

Aamir: Just like you were bursting in your car with Aishwarya’s picture?

SK: Totally, I still remember those good old days. Damn you Abhishek. Anyway, SRK is gay and spends his time with KJO.

*ND completes his collection of hot pictures of hot girls and returns to the chat room.*

*ND reads the whole conversation and decides to act responsibily.*

ND: Why do you guys always fight with each other? Don’t you have anything to do in life?

AK: Yeah, like what? Giving SRK’s movie biased reviews and 5 star ratings, and giving 2 stars to mine? F*ck you.

SK: Yeah, I think SRK gives u his thing behind your thing, if you know what I mean.

ND: Listen people, all those superstars don’t even know you. They’re earning millions and you are wasting your time.

AK: Get lost, you d!ckhead. Let us fight. This is our life and this is what we do.

*SRK, Aamir, and SK say the same thing*

ND: But…

All: Get out, you @#$@%@#^$^$^##%@%@#@

*ND quits the room and now writing a new blog entry about Obama while all 4 morons are still fighting*

So, you see, this is what happens in a so called debate over “The King of Bollywood.” One piece of advice, never participate in such fight coz chances are that you’ll be addicted to it.

And for those poor souls, as I promised earlier and as THE ROCK will say, “It doesn’t matter who’s the KING OF BOLLYWOOD.”

An Indian Woman is Independent

newsdose

“I am an independent woman”, these 5 words can be a nightmare for many men, especially in India. Whenever we hear these words from a girl, it causes perturbation in us, and it reaches to a whole new level if that girl is our girlfriend/wife. This whole thing came to my mind when I was reading a magazine and in that, a guy was bitching about his independent wife.
deepika padukone

Let me get straight to the point for the people who don’t belong to India, we’ve been raised with such an attitude that an Indian woman is our slave and she’ll sacrifice anything, including her job, to make us happy. We can beat the shit out of our wives and they’ll not say anything.

And this gives a sense of pride to Indian men. Generally, we see this form of attitude in our parents where dad is the head of the family and he can do anything and our mom has to agree with that because she doesn’t have any choice.

When they grow up and try to get in the pants of their girlfriends/wives, who are working in big companies, and then suddenly hear such strange words from them, it naturally puts them off. As a repercussion of this, men feel like someone is hurting their pride and they feel assailable. It is even more obvious for those who consider Salman Khan as their God because he is known for beating his girlfriends and it is no surprise that he is still unmarried.

In this modern era, where women are defeating men in their own job domains, jealousy and insecurity are the natural factors among Indian men. Earlier, men used to fight among themselves for higher positions in their jobs but now they’ve to fight with women, too.

If you watch carefully, you’ll see two types of women in India walking the streets. First is the typical Indian woman who considers her husband as God and she don’t have anything to do other than watching those Saas Bahu T.V serials. She is your perfect home maker or a maid as you can say. You can burn her down and still, she’ll not say anything because she has no place to go.

Second is the independent woman of India who’s created a balance between her personal and professional life. She is confident, earns her own money and knows about flavored condoms just like Deepika Padukone in Bachna Ae Haseeno. She knows more about sex than a man and this gives complex to Indian men. Sushmita Sen and Pooja Bedi would be the prime examples of the Independent Indian women.

Yesterday, news came that an Engineer killed his wife just by beating her up. Incidents like this happen on a daily basis but they never come out. This is due to the lack of support for women in our society. Even the parents of the girls refuse to take them back to their home. With no place to go, she has to accept all the shit as a way of life.

And this is the place where being independent helps a lot. If something like this happens to you then you always have a choice to break the balls of your husband, burn him down, kick his ass or simply say “FUCK YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!” and leave.

One thing that I’ve noticed is that Indian men are always afraid to have independent girlfriends and I really don’t know why. If you ask me, having an independent girlfriend in this time is a cool thing. And if you want to know why then look at it this way, “She’ll earn her own money and you can always save your cash to buy more porn, condoms or petrol for your car. She’ll not ask you why you came late to home from office as she herself knows the stress of work and the best thing, you’ll not have to watch those SAAS BAHU SERIALS at home and you’ll enjoy your cricket matches.”

So, in order to wrap up this post, let me just say that if you are a first type of woman, the loser type, time has come to be independent and live a new life and if you are an Independent woman, you’re doing good but don’t get carried away with this phenomenon and become like those women, “I don’t need a man coz I’ve a dildo to satisfy myself”.

And if you are an Indian man who is afraid of independent women, time has come to wash your balls and really become a man, A Gentleman. But if you are of “I’ll beat up my wife” type and an avid reader of, “1000 ways to kill your wife”, by Salman Khan, then Go fuck yourself.

Do you have any other reasons to back up Independent women of India or do you want to say something on this article, then you can post it through the comment box below. I’ll reply to all of them and put some good ones in the post.

Bachna Ae Haseeno Movie Review

newsdose

Having an affair with 3 hot girls in one life is just a dream of every guy which is impossible, but not for Ranbir Kapoor, who romances with 3 top beauties in the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno this week.

Bachna Ae Haseeno is about Raj Sharma (Ranbir Kapoor), who falls in love with 3 girls during his life cycle from 18 to 30. First, at the age of 18 in 1996, he meets Mahi (Minissha Lamba) in Switzerland, and like any other teenage guy, all he cares about girls, whom he calls “Maal” (read in Hindi).

Mahi is a girl from Amritsar who has seen DDLJ 17 times and is looking for his real life Raj (played by Shahrukh Khan in DDLJ). In short, Mahi is your girl next door looking for love but sadly, her parents are talking about her engagement. While Mahi is looking for a potential life partner in Raj, Raj on the other hand is trying to be a “Killer” in front of his friends.
Bachna Ae Haseeno

Then Raj meets his second love, Radhika played by Bipasha Basu, in 2002 in Mumbai. Now, Raj is a game developer in Microsoft and living a happy life with his “Live-In” girlfriend Radhika, who wants to make big as an actress.

If you don’t know what “Live-In” means then don’t worry, they tell that too in the movie. Just like with Mahi, Raj is also not serious about Radhika and the problem arises when Microsoft transfers him to Sydney. Rest you can see in the movie, I’ll not spoil the fun.

And now in Sydney in 2007, he meets Gayatri (Deepika Padukone), who is a taxi driver, shopkeeper and a B-school student. Gayatri is dissimilar from all the girls that Ranbir knows and that is what catches his attention. And soon, they start spending time with each other and like previous cases, they both start loving each other. But this time, Raj is serious about Gayatri and wants to marry her, but she doesn’t believe in marriage and dumps him. Ouch!

So who gets Ranbir in the end?

I’ve a better question for you. Whom would you choose from these 3 girls?

1.Mahi – A girl next door who is totally romantic and a future housewife.

2.Radhika – A sexy, hot aspiring actress who has some attitude but believes in true love and can sacrifice her career for marriage.

3.Gayatri – A young independent, honest, well-educated, open-minded and ambitious girl who believes in love and also knows about flavored condoms.

You know the answer, I know the answer and even director knows the answer.

************************************************************

Now enough of the story, let’s talk about the movie. Before talking about that, I’ve one thing for the director. If you shoot a scene with an actor wearing sunglasses then you’re not supposed to show camera or filming crew in them. Moving on to movie, the power of the movie lies in the first half because it is funny and has only 3 emotional scenes. Rest part is funny and you’ll not be able stop yourself from having a smile during the whole part.

Bachna Ae Haseeno works because of its youth appeal and modern approach towards relationships. Moreover, the chemistry between the actors is great and undoubtedly, Ranbir and Deepika looks the best even if you don’t consider their off-screen relationship. I like the way kisses are being shown as normal in Bollywood movies these days and do watch out for the kiss between Ranbir and Bipasha. You can learn something out of it.

And if you are one of those who consider Kiss and sex against Indian culture then this movie is not for you.

Songs are great of the movie, although I gave 2.5 for the soundtrack, but watching the songs on big screen is a treat in itself. Almost every song fits in the movie but “Lucky Boy” looks like an item number instead of a situational song. Also try to reach on time for the movie because the title song of Bachna Ae haseeno comes in the starting. Believe me, you don’t want to miss that at any cost.

Also, I was surprised to see the way they were talking about games like Halo 3 and technical stuff, but I don’t know if I like it or not especially when Deepika talks about online game play because the expressions that Deepika gives while saying the dialogues come out to be counterfeit.

Bachna Ae Haseeno doesn’t work because of the promotion of other Yash Raj movies during the movie. For example; DDLJ, Dhoom and the way they keep on blabbering about DDLJ during the first 20 minutes. Also, the reference to games doesn’t work just like I said above. Director is trying to be cool and trying to impress the youth. Better luck next time.

One more factor that hinders the growth of the movie is the second part of the movie. It’s slow and filled with too many emotional scenes which contradict the first half. It’s not that I’m against emotional stuff but you’ve to do them in a right way.

Performances

Ranbir Kapoor

Honestly, I’ve never seen Saawariya because of the emetic reviews that critics gave, but they did praise Ranbir Kapoor and now I can see why. This guy is a born romantic hero just like his father, Rishi Kapoor. He carries the movie alone on his shoulders and frankly, this whole movie is about him only. He has a bright future in the industry.

Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu

Both of them do perfect justice to their roles but you can feel Preity Zinta’s hangover in Minissha’s performance. Nevertheless, they share great chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor and give you some memorable moments. By the way, Bipasha is hot in this movie, but you know it very well.

Deepika Padukone

I’m quite surprised with the role of Deepika. It seems like she gave a guest performance in the movie. You can hardly see her during the second part. Believe me, she only comes for like 5 minutes in second half and that’s a disgrace because many guys, including me, love her a lot. Also, audience is too eager to watch their favorite off-screen couple on-screen.

Furthermore, you can also feel the lack of intensity in her voice during her dialogues. They just don’t appear to be right, maybe they fucked it up during dubbing. She surely has the talent for acting but she needs a lot of work. Don’t worry Deepika you’re definitely better than Katrina Kaif and many others.

Verdict – Bachna Ae Haseeno is a good entertainer and an amiable romantic comedy. Director has done a good job and so as the actors. Forget about Singh is Kinng and God Tussi Great Ho, go watch this one. It’s not a path breaking film, but it’s definitely value for money movie.

Box-office result – I’m really bemused about this one because of Singh is Kinng. I don’t think God Tussi Great Ho, the second release of this week, will do any good at box office. As it is released on Independence Day, it can surely do good business and can be a hit. Addition to this, eagerness of audience to watch Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor will draw a lot of crowd. Yash Raj can finally get a hit after couple of box-office blunders.

Showstoppers – Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba.

Rating – 3 out of 5
