Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year Movie Review

Rocket Singh is the smartest and best film of 2009 along with Kaminey, without a doubt. Starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead and made by the combo of Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni, Rocket Singh deserves all the praises in the world.

Rocket Singh

Rocket Singh is a film about college pass out Harpreet Singh Bedi who was just an average student in college. Not finding any suitable options in further studies, he decides to pursue his career in sales. But, things were not the way he expected. Corruption, bribes, hard competition between the staff, a frustrated guy as his senior, and a corrupt boss, that job turned out to be his worst nightmare. He then decides not to give up on his dream and fight the system and thus begins the journey of Rocket Singh. I won’t give too much story as I want you guys to really enjoy it.

Let’s start reviewing the technical department first. Shimit Amin is a genius, no doubts about that. After Ab Tak Chappan and Chak De India, he is back with a bang! He captures your attention so beautifully that you won’t be able to think about anything else while watching the movie. He sets the tone of the film and shows the corporate world very realistically and that’s why the film works. And, we certainly can’t ignore his partner, Jaideep Sahni for writing such a wonderful script. Filled with many subtle comic moments and such a powerful drama, it is a perfect hybridization of both genres.

There are so many powerful scenes such as Harpreet’s interview, conversation between him, his boss, and the client where his boss insults him and the climax; all 3 probably the best scenes of the year. TWO BIG THUMBS UP!

Background score is really nice by Salim-Sulaiman. Cinematography is also awesome.

Ranbir Kapoor is awesome and as I said before, the only actor of current generation who knows the art of acting. He sinks in the character fully and delivers a powerful performance. It’s definitely on of his best.

But, for the first time, he is not able to steal the show. This time, it is the supporting cast which steals the show. Thanks to Yash Raj, there is no correct information available about the supporting cast on net, so I will update the post with correct names and their characters.

But, there is one character Nitin, Harpreet’s senior, his performance was mind blowing. He takes the whole movie from Ranbir. Other performances were also good and especially Prem Chopra, I liked him after a long time in a movie.

Final Verdict

Rocket Singh is such a powerful film that it is a must watch for everyone, especially for the multiplex audience. If you love no-brainers and can’t digest smart and realistic films then stay away from this one. And don’t go to watch this movie in hopes of a total comedy coz it’s not. There are so many moments which are really cruel. They’ll probably remind you of your own office life. Rocket Singh belongs to two people; Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni. They are the heroes of this film. It’s such a pity that the promotions of this movie started so late.

Rocket Singh is the top contender for best film of 2009 award with Kaminey. And with Three Idiots releasing, too, battle for Best Film award is really tough this year. We can’t forget Dev.D, Wake Up Sid, Paa, and Kurbaan which are also strong contenders. I just can’t wait for the nominations this year. Best year of the decade for Bollywood, hands down.

Wake Up Sid Movie Review

newsdose

Let me first start by saying that Wake Up Sid is the best film of 2009, with Kaminey. It’s a movie with a big heart and works because of its simplicity.

Wake Up Sid

The story of the movie is about a college student, Sid, played by Ranbir Kapoor, who is simply careless about everything, from studies to relationships to his own future. This is because his dad (Anupam Kher) is a rich businessman who gives Sid more than enough money to spend. After giving his final exams, Sid tries to go to office but leaves that, too, within a week.

The story of Aisha (Konkana Sen Sharma) is going on with his story. Aisha is a girl from Kolkata who came to Mumbai to make her dream true of being a writer and to be independent. Both of them meet in a party and soon become friends. But, when the result of Sid comes out, things go awry. He leaves his home and starts living with Aisha, and this follows the tale of the waking up of Sid.

Technical Stuff

The director of the movie, Ayan Mukerji, who is a debutant, makes a great impact with his strong story telling talent. His script is really good and filled with humour. One thing which goes with the script is that it is not too preachy. It says what it wants to say very subtly. Direction is top class. But, the second part lacks pace while first half is pure awesomeness.

The most important thing which goes with the movie is its relativity. It doesn’t matter if you are a 20 year old guy or 60 year old uncle, you can relate to Sid mainly because you might have experienced the same thing during your time, too. Wake Up Sid is a very realistic movie and it shows the attitude of the youth very clearly. Scenes are very powerful and the one which involves the confrontation of Anupam Kher and Ranbir Kapoor is pure class!

Music is too good. I know a lot of people were complaining about music being too ordinary, but when you listen to the songs as background score (another master stroke by the director), you’ll love every song. The ones that stand out are “Iktara” and “Wake Up Sid”. Kudos to Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Amit Trivedi.

Cinematography is really good and so is the editing.

Acting Department

Now let’s come to the acting department. First things first, out of all the new age actors, only Ranbir Kapoor knows the art of acting. He’s so natural and there is no way you can’t relate to the character he portrayed. You can see the dilemma he is going through and he totally sucks you into his world. Well done, Ranbir! I’m really looking forward to the nominations this year.

Konkana Sen Sharma is as usual great but she somewhat reminded me of her performance of Luck By Chance. There was not much difference between the two, apart from the looks. But, nevertheless, a great performance.

On the supporting cast, Anupam Kher and Supriya Pathak (mother of Sid) shines. It’s really nice to see Anupam Kher doing a good role after the disastrous Dil Bole Hadippa. Rahul Khanna as Konkana’s boss has done a good job.

Final Verdict

Wake Up Sid sets another example for the new age cinema of Bollywood. Undoubtedly, it’s a film which will score big time with the college audience. It has its heart at the right place. Second part could have better as it took a lot of time to come to the final point. Ranbir Kapoor is top notch and so is Konkana. Ayan has a bright future in the industry. As for you people, please go and watch this movie. Bunk college, school or whatever, just watch it. And who knows, Wake Up Sid may become a wake up call for you.

Cast – Ranbir Kapoor, Konkana Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher

Bollywood is changing, for forever!

newsdose

It was the beginning…

It was not that long ago, 2007 to be precise, when people were a big fan of typical “masala” films. People didn’t bother about the logic either, they were too happy to watch their favorite stars, irrespective the quality of the movie that they were doing. But in 2008, things started changing.

Suddenly, films of big stars were turning into flops, and many big budget movies tanked at the box office . The sure shot formula of comedy movies stopped working, which was working fine in 2007. Big films like Drona, Yuvvraaj, Love Story 2050, Karzzz etc. were big time disasters. This happened despite of the fact that all of them were heavily promoted.

And small budget films with no face value actors like A Wednesday, Welcome to Sajjanpur, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Rock On and Aamir etc. were doing better business than many big budget movies. Moreover, they were appreciated by people and critics alike from all over India. This was a clear indication that Bollywood was changing, and for the better!

And now let’s talk about 2009. Chandni Chowk to China, 2009’s first big released, tanked big time at the box office, and even Akshay Kumar couldn’t save it. What was the reason behind that? The script of the movie was written poorly, director was third class, and don’t even make me start talking about the action scenes.

And then Dev D released which was not heavily promoted, but is doing very good business and has been appreciated by everyone. One of the reasons it worked because it was unique, cleverly written and had powerful performances.

It’s now clear that people don’t watch movies just because of stars, now they watch movies which have some quality. Audience is smarter these days but sadly, filmmakers are still acting as nincompoops.
Let’s find out some reasons why Bollywood is changing and how it’ll affect the future.

1. The Multiplex audience – Undoubtedly, they have the most important role to play in the transmutation of Bollywood, which we are seeing today. As I said above, audience is getting smarter and this is our Multiplex audience only. They pay a very high price to watch movies and they don’t want to waste their precious money on watching some crap film. They want quality, and it doesn’t matter who the actor is. A Wednesday, Dev.D and Rock On are the prime examples for this.

2. The Youth and the Internet and the exposure to Hollywood – According to many surveys, a large proportion of the movie watching audience comprises of people between the age group of 18 – 35. Now you must be thinking how is this affecting Bollywood? Let me tell you how.

Today, almost everyone in India, especially in big cities, have an internet connection. Many of the hardcore internet users use the internet to download movies, music and ahem… porn. Due to this, they’ve a lot of exposure to Hollywood movies, which are known for their scripts, special effects, and superb performances. As a consequence of this, they know what quality is and they expect the same standard from Bollywood.

But when our filmmakers give us movies like Victory, CC2C, Yuvvraaj, they know that this movie is going to be another crap, and they keep themselves away from such stuff, and thus the movie flops. We’re getting smarter cinematically because of Hollywood, which is a good thing.

3. The Young Filmmakers – Young people are coming with fresh ideas and new approach towards filmmaking. As they are young, they instantly connect with the moving going audience, which I said earlier, is filled with young people, which result in hits. Dev.D is the perfect example as the language of the film was the normal talk we use every day.

The Award Functions

Another aspect which got affected badly this year is the award functions of Bollywood. If you go through the nominations of this year, you’ll find a “Reader’s choice” and “Critics choice” related voting system in almost every award ceremony. Now this critic system was not that popular couple of years back.

But this year, they are giving too much important to both of these systems. Why? Because they know the audience is smart now, so they can’t ignore critically acclaimed movies. That’s why you see “A Wednesday” winning this year, while Khosla Ka Ghosla didn’t win any award in 2005, in the major categories.

As these movies don’t have any big stars, award organizers are in a big conundrum. If they are start giving awards to these small budget movies then the big stars won’t attend the function and then the T.V ratings will drop. Honestly, if we leave out Filmfare, all other award functions don’t have any standard. They all are known for licking stars’ asses to bring them to functions.

So, in order to give them awards, they give them through Reader’s choice awards. And to be very frank, I don’t trust these awards, after seeing the winners of Max Stardust awards. According to their reader’s choice awards, best film is Singh is Kinng. This clearly explains how badly they are licking the ass of Akshay Kumar. In a poll conducted by Bollywood Hungama, Ghajini and Rab ne Bana Di Jodi were the top two movies, according to readers, and I do trust that result.

The organizers knew that Aamir Khan was not going to accept the award anyway, and people have something against Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, so they gave the award to Singh is Kinng. I’m not getting into any actor war, I’m stating a point. Check out the imdb.com profiles of all the 3 movies and you’ll know what I’m talking about. And A Wednesday is not nominated as the best film in Filmfare awards this year, how come? Dostana, Ghajini, Singh is Kinng got nominated but not A Wednesday? That’s a fucking conspiracy.

The thing is that the sudden change in the taste of audience has shocked everyone. It’ll take some time to get used to this. One thing they should is to lift their standards and stop following the actors like a dog chasing a car. And please, telecast the function live! We should go towards the Oscar way, which is the clear indication of classic movies, you can’t doubt that!

I’m hoping that the nominations of next year would be better, and fair, with focus on the actors who gave good performances, irrespective to their star status.

Survival of the Fittest

Bollywood is going through evolution and it is now the time of Survival of the Fittest. Only those people will survive who can mould them according to the latest trends. If you can’t then your career is over. The new wave is coming, and it’s going to change everything for forever.

All the big stars have to do critically acclaimed cinema in order to win awards and applause from the audience. Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Hritihik Roshan are somewhat safe as they have My Name is Khan, 3 Idiots, and Kites under their belts, respectively.

Salman Khan is pretty much out of the race and his career is almost over with back to back flops last year. And this brings us to Akshay Kumar, if he starts doing something other than comedy then he has a little chance otherwise he is also gone.

Now let’s come to the young actors. Shahid Kapoor is in real danger now because he is known as the next lover boy of Bollywood, which is not a good sign and if you see his past films, most of his movies are love stories.

Imran Khan is doing an interesting film “Delhi Belly” and he has a good chance of surviving, but he has to work on his acting skills and voice modulation badly. Otherwise, he’ll be a one hit wonder.

And the last two actors, Ranbir Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar. Ranbir Kapoor certainly has the charisma, and the acting talent to survive in Bollywood and Farhan Akhtar is the next big thing. With two critically acclaimed films under his belt, Rock On!! and Luck By Chance under his belt, Farhan is ready to rock.

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.

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

Why is India a loser in Olympics?

newsdose

Let’s face the facts; India is the second largest populated country in the world with a population of almost 1 billion. But still, we are unable to produce 11 men who can play some decent football or athletes who can win medals in the Olympics.

It’s sad but it’s true. Even countries like Jamaica perform superior in Olympics than India and it’s a shame for all of us. Hockey used to be our best bet in the Olympics to win Gold medal but we are now out of that too. So whom should we blame for the present conditions of Indian Sports, and how to put a kibosh on these discountenance conditions?

The first reason that comes to mind is the negligence of the other sports due to Cricket. Honestly, I was a big fan of cricket when I was a kid but now, all I see is 11 men running after a ball as if it is one of their balls, if you know what I mean.

The media attention and money given to Cricket players are like a dream for other athletes and if you want to know what it feels like then imagine sleeping with Deepika Padukone in real life but you can’t get her because she is already in bed with Ranbir Kapoor. Sounds unpalatable, right?

Indian media follows cricketers even if they are going to a dentist just like India TV followed MS Dhoni. Due to so much coverage, cricketers always have a pressure to perform well during the matches. But as we all know, no news channel give a shit about athletes, so they don’t bother at all. Even if they win, then also Indian media don’t give a shit.

The other example of Cricket scoring over other sports would be IPL. Everyone knows how much money was spent on the teams and players. Celebrities like Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta made a presence during the matches and business tycoons like Mukesh Ambani, Vijay Malya gave so much money to their teams.

If they spend half of that amount on the improvement of other sports, then it would change the whole scenario over-night. Did I mention the cheerleaders that cricketers get? They can definitely motivate the players to perform well. You know the saying, “Behind every successful man, there is a HOT woman with big boobs”.

Enough of the cricket, now let’s move to real culprits, the Sports authorities. Everyone knows that they simply don’t give a fuck about the players. The prime example of this would be the doping case of Monika Devi, who was tested positive during a test. Now she has been freed from those charges but sadly, she can’t take part in the Olympics because it’s too late. This shows how much serious the authorities are.

And God knows what happens to the money that government gives to the authorities to improve the standards. From some particular reason, I believe that all the people working in these committees take that money and put into their Swiss accounts while players are starving on the roads.

The perfect portrayal of this system was in Chak De India, but still, our corrupt authorities are not ashamed of themselves for not having fucking morals and honesty just like Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar, who gave us, Singh is Kinng.

As a repercussion of all this, students and sports enthusiastic prefer to keep themselves away from all these sports and concentrate on becoming cricketers, which further downgrade the standards of Indian sports.

At the time of writing, India has already lost a number of competitions in Beijing Olympics 2008, which is a disgrace. Let’s hope our athletes will win some medals and make the head of 1 billion people proud. And I hope some honest politicians like Rahul Gandhi would do something about the state of Indian sports, before it’s too late.

The question is what do you think about this whole issue? What are your views? Who do you think is the culprit? Is it the government, sports authorities or cricket? Post your comments and I’ll put the best ones in the post.

Bachna Ae Haseeno Music Review

newsdose

With a series of flops going on for Yash Raj Productions both in terms of movies and music, they surely have great hopes from Ranbir Kapoor’s, Bachna Ae Haseeno. Promos look promising and Deepika is looking hot as ever. So, will this movie change the fate of Yash Raj Production in terms of music? Let’s find out.

Bachna Ae Haseeno

1. Khuda Jaane

This is the first song of the movie and it is a song which takes some time to get over you, considering its slow pace and the female singer that doesn’t suit the song at all. Lyrics are less or more average only. But, if you watch its music video, then surely you’ll like it. But as I said earlier, the Shilpa Rao doesn’t suit the song. You’ll feel even weirder when you watch the video because her voice doesn’t suit Deepika at all.

But overall, it’s a nice song but a bit lengthy too.

2. Lucky Boy

It starts with a nice Punjabi verse, and then Sunidhi comes and ruins the song. It’s not her fault too because the song itself is below average i.e. lyrics and the music. I can bet that, this song will be picturized on Bipasha Basu. It’ll certainly not appeal to guys, but, it can be popular in girls. And, I don’t know why they included Hard Kaur in this. Just like Khuda Jaane, it takes some time to get on you.

3. Aahista Aahista

Nice use of guitar in the starting of the song and that guitar solo lasts for almost a minute! Lucky Ali and Shreya Ghoshal make a nice duet and Shreya is good as always. It’s been a while since I listened to Lucky and his voice sounds refreshing. As of music, it is above average. But 5:52 minute length of the song kills it on the first place. If they would have made it shorter, then it would have been a moderate hit.

4. Jogi Mahi

When you listen to it for the first time, you get a lot of expectations from this song because of Shekhar’s great voice, but by the time you reach the hook part, lyrics just drop to level 0 and it doesn’t go in sync with music. Song is good only in the verses but it is really bad at the hook or chorus. Both Sukhvinder Singh and Shekhar give a first-class performance on it. Himani Kapoor is also palatable.

If you just don’t give care about lyrics for this song, then it would be sound really nice to you. One of the best songs of the whole album.

5. Small Town Girl

I really can’t understand that why they put this song in the album? It’s one of the worst songs to come out this year and it doesn’t make any sense. Songs starts with great guitar riffs. But then, it turns into crap with even more crappy lyrics.

“Chhoti ungli pe nachayegi tumhe, she’s a small town girl”

What the hell man? What kind of lyrics are these? Somewhere it’ll also sound like, “Ticket to Hollywood”, as Shankar Mahadevan is on the song and music is somewhat also the same. I don’t know why he did this song. Worst track of the album.

6. Khuda Jaane Revisited

The one and only remix of the album and I’ll not talk about it.

7. Bachna Ae Haseeno

Aaaww! The classic song. I was really looking forward to it, but again, Vishal-Shekhar didn’t do full justice to it. Why do you need Sumit Kumar on the verse man? He sounds so substandard on this song. Rapping is great by Vishal. But the chorus by Kishore Kumar is still a classic and it is the best part of the song. Listen to it for Kishore Kumar only.

I don’t know what has happened to Vishal-Shekhar, who gave such a hit album, Om Shanti Om. Maybe, they should take a break for some time and reinvent themselves. As for the album, it is an average album without a blockbuster song. Music should have been extraordinary for this movie, since there is so much hype around it.

2.5/5 (Better luck next time unlucky boys)

Adulteration in India

newsdose

Technically, Adulteration means when corrupt men mix poisonous and cheap substances in our food products, but, I used to use this term, when a 17 year old boy comes out of his nappy and becomes a man. It is one day for which every boy waits for but the same thing can’t be said about girls as they want to look 16 even at the age of 60. Sounds weird? Read on.

It just feels like today when I, myself, got adulterated. At that time, it would mean that, no longer would I have to worry about opening a porn site and watching the “Adults Only” logo, no longer would I have to worry about humiliation if someone catches me while watching that porn. It would also mean that, I could go to the terrace of my home in my towel and start singing, “Jab Se Tere Naina” from the crappiest movie, “Saawariya” and no longer would I have to worry about the girl/boy next door staring and fantasizing about my thing when I drop that towel.

It would mean that, no longer would I have to worry about Police kicking my ass for catching me driving without a license. It also meant that, I could go to any shop and ask for a condom without feeling ashamed, unlike many Indian men, and it would also mean that, no longer would I have to consider masturbation as a sin, since, as per the Indian laws, I was officially an ADULT.

But, these were just hypothetical situations, which I don’t give a damn about. The things which I’ll mention now were the ones I was really excited about.

1. Right to Vote

I was made to believe that, once I get my right to vote, I can vote any person I like, whom I think will do best for my country without taking any bribe, without raping a 10 year old girl and without murdering any poor guy. They also convinced me to believe in the fact that, the person I’ll choose will be highly educated and a perfect gentleman. On the top of that, they told me that, the elections and the votes will be counted with pure honesty.

But, when the elections came, I saw the reality. I came to know that, no matter for which motherfucker I vote, only that will win who has a bigger gun or a large bank balance in his Swiss account. And if he has the skills to start a riot on the name of religion, language, or caste, then even God can’t defeat him in the elections.

2. Singing talent shows

I conjectured that, once I win any of the singing competition on the ground of my singing talent, I’ll get all the money, my name will be on everyone’s lips, girls will run after me just like they run after Imran Khan and people will go to the music stores to buy my music CDs and then I’ll be India’s 50 Cent.

But to my surprise, I came to know that, you don’t win on the basis of your talent, you win on the account of your state, religion and caste. If your state and caste people support you, then it doesn’t matter if you are the worst singer in the whole India, even more than Himesh Reshammiya, you’ll still win hands down. But, after that, no one will give a shit about you.

Your music video will be on a TV channel for a couple of months and then again, you’ll be an asshole who you were earlier. Then, other TV channels will invite you to compete against the winners of other reality shows. In short, you’ll be a fucked up retard for the rest of your life.

3. 18+ Stuff

I surmised that, I would go to the PVR with my broad chest and would buy the ticket of Sex and the City, as I’m an adult now. Moreover, I also deduced that no longer would I have to worry about the “Parental Advisory” logo on the Hip Hop music CDs.

But to my surprise again, I came to know that, even a 14 year old kid can buy the ticket of Sex and the city and can purely ignore the “Adult” certificate given to the movie. He can call his girlfriend a bitch or a whore and can sing, “I want to fuck you” for her, while she is busy doing her make-up and trying to garner attention of other guys just like Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu.

And all this forced me to ask some questions to myself? What the hell has happened to all of us? What are we doing to help our country? Is this the future of our country?

Then some of my friends came to me and said, “Shut the fuck up man, this is India Meri Jaan”.

And this took me to the conclusion that we don’t have to be 18 to become an Adult. We get adulterated from the starting of our lives, or in other words, corrupt men pollute us with poisonous and cheap substances.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Movie Review

newsdose

When was the last time a romantic movie complied with your level of penchant? I know, Jab We Met in 2007. But, this is 2008, and it feels like it’s been ages since we saw an up to scratch Bollywood movie, predominantly because of the thrash talking, nauseating and brain slaughtering movies like Tashan, Krazzy 4 and the latest, De Gaali, I mean De Taali.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

In spite of all this, Bollywood finally gave us a movie which will make you gaga over its freshness, unique presentation and too good to be true performances and that movie is, indubitably, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. I think I’m praising too much, but on a second thought, it deserves this.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is about Jai Singh Rathore (Imran Khan), also known as Rats and Aditi Mahant (Genelia D’Souza) a.k.a Meow or “Kaali Billi”. Jai is a person who doesn’t believe in violence while Aditi is a girl who is violent and who calls her own brother, “Son of a Bitch”. And, both of them are best friends or let’s just say more than friends. A perfect case of “Opposites attract”.

Based upon the life of 6 college friends, it is a simple yet fresh love story, at least in terms of storytelling, but the same can’t be said for the script as it is based upon the tried and tested formula for love stories in Bollywood. For example; love between two best friends, opposites attract and of course, the Airport climax scene.

But, it is the fresh style of the debut director Abbas Tyrewala, the writer of movies like Munnabhai M.B.B.S and Main Hoon Na, which makes the movie, seem like Dr. Manmohan Singh standing between the uneducated Indian Politicians. Sounds palatable, right?

From the very first frame, you’ll come to know that you are about to witness a rollercoaster ride. But, just like any other movie, it has its own share of rust on it. And in this case, it is the most ignorant mistakes that I’ve ever seen in movies.

Mistake 1

I don’t expect this kind of mistake from Aamir Khan’s production and that is the choppy editing of the movie. There are many scenes which could have been funnier especially the one in which Jai and Aditi’s brother try to catch his pet. Substandard editing and direction totally ruined that wonderful scene.

Mistake 2

There are too many characters and their stories which are not required at all. Take the example of Aditi’s brother who has his own little story which distracts the viewers from the main idea of the movie and it doesn’t hold any significance.

Mistake 3

They are shown as 21 years old youngsters who are too keen to get married. Does it really happen these days? I don’t think so. And, they have spent 5 years in college which makes them 16 when they entered the college. Brainy students, right?

Mistake 4

I want to tell this but I can’t, because it is the climax scene and I don’t want to ruin the fun.

Performances

Imran Khan – He is undoubtedly the next Big Khan. He is really comfortable with his role and does perfect justice to it. I don’t think there is anyone who could have done this role better than him. Moreover, his smile and looks are already a hit among the girls of all age groups. One more thing for the ladies, don’t miss him when he rides the white horse, he surely looks like a king at that time.

I think Ranbir Kapoor should drop another towel to get all the attention back.

Genelia D’Souza – She steals the whole show hands down. She is cute, funny and perfect for the role. She pulls her role off with utter brilliance. It was a surprise as her performance in Mere Baap Pehle Aap was not that good. Nevertheless, she is the one to watch out for.

Supporting Cast – Most of the supporting cast was perfect especially Manjari Phadnis, Ratna Pathak (Jai’s mother), Naseeruddin Shah (Jai’s dad), Ayaz Khan and the three guest appearances. Paresh Rawal in his short role make you laugh more than any character in the movie.

Problem with the movie is that, the director sometimes tries too hard to impress you. And, sometimes, story loses its original path and become confusing thanks to the editing which was carried out with utter shame. I expected a lot from this movie, but, it didn’t live to my expectations because of the stupid mistakes.

In spite of all this, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is a movie to watch. You just can’t miss it. It is a movie to watch with your friends, or better, with your girlfriend or boyfriend.

Showstoppers – Imran Khan, Genelia D’Souza

Rating – 3/5 (I’m being generous for this one)

Rakhi Ka Phone Aaya – New Lesbian TV SHOW

newsdose

The growing craze of IPL has sabotaged the whole business of Reality Shows in India. Prior to IPL, you could see a new homosexual Reality Show every other day. Some of the prime examples of these shows are Star Voice of India, Indian Idol, KBC, Big Boss, Koffee with Karan. I got so inspired from this craze that even I tried to start my own TV Shows. I contacted India TV and they asked me to send some ideas about the shows. Here is a small list of the shows that I wanted to start…

1) Big Bitch
2) Kaun Banega Rakhi Sawant ka Pati (Host: Her used up condom boyfriend Abhishek)
3) Booze with Bobby Darling
4) Cunt Voice of India (Judges: Himesh Reshammiya, Anu Malik and a Dildo ready to fuck that cunt voice)
5) Kya aap Ass se tez hain? (Host: The Ass himself “Mahesh Bhatt”)

But sadly, IPL ruined my plans. But, Zee Television has decided to start their own lesbo Talk Show with Rakhi Sawant as the host. It is called “Rakhi Ka Phone Aaya”. The main motive behind this step is to destroy IPL with the help of big boobs of Rakhi, as this is what Indian Men crave for, even more than Cricket. Producer of the show asked me to see the shoot. How could I say no to such a momentous event in the history of FUCKED UP INDIAN TELEVISION? The show is expected to start with a bang like a gang bang, with as many as 11 stars together on the stage showing their banging skills. I went to the shooting and here is what I saw.

Rakhi: Welcome all of you to my pussy licking show, “Rakhi Ka Phone Aaya”.

Random guy from the rented audience: Die nameless Bitch!

* Rakhi blushing, Producer smiling as he thinks it’ll increase the TRP”

*TRP – Total Request Porn*

Rakhi: Thank you sir and I also welcome the Celebrity Guests of the evening.

*Rented audience clapping as they were given free booze and chicken to do this*

Rakhi: So my first question is for Shahrukh. How are you feeling after losing the battle of the favourite Krazzy 4 item number?

SRK: I didn’t lose the battle. I gave you the title…

Rakhi: Oh please, everyone knows that I’m the ITEM of Bollywood!

Random guy from rented audience: Yeah you’re the ITEM, how much do you charge for one night bitch?

Rakhi: Rs 10 for twosome sex, Rs 20 for threesome and Rs 30 for Group Sex…

Shambhavi(Roadie): I charge only Rs 5 coz I’d already fucked all the guys on MTV ROADIES

Bobby Darling: I’m free!

*Random guy confused between so many sluts*

Rakhi: Shut up Bitches; let’s move on to Hrithik… I heard you’re becoming a father for the second time… how are you feeling? Don’t you have any self-control?

Hrithik: Actually third baby is also coming…

Rakhi: Susan is having twins?

Hrithik: No, Actually I’m doing a kiss scene with this Hollywood slut…

Rakhi: Baby from a kiss?

Hrithik: This is how Indians make babies right? Raja Hindustani anyone?

Aamir: No piece of shit, I’m so perfect that no one came to know when I fucked Karishma… I’m the Number 1 MUAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Rakhi: Shut up you baldy shit.. Did you shave your pubes too?

Aamir: I shaved your pubes when YOU, ME AUR HUM were having a threesome

Rakhi: Fuck off… now let’s talk to Abhishek and Aishwarya… So Ash, tell us about your Big Boob Show at Cannes… What were you thinking? Trying to beat me in Boob size?

Aishwarya: I wanted to show Salman and Vivek “THE STUFF” that they’ve missed!!

Abhishek: I wanted to tell Rani Mukherjee and Karishma about “THE STUFF” that I got by marrying Ash!!

*A big pole is visible in Salman’s skinny jean while Rani is looking under her bra…*

*Random guy got caught masturbating to Ash’s Cannes picture*

*Aishwarya blushing, Rakhi Jealous…*

Rakhi: So Saif, you seem to be pretty angry about your sister’s pictures in the Maxim Magazine… Why were you not angry when Kareena did the same thing for FHM..?

Saif: Well, I’m Kareena’s dog and I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of her ex-dog “Shahid Kapoor”… I’m really insecure about Kareena… I get to fuck her in doggy-style you see!!

Kareena: Yeah, Saif is my dog, people put collars around their dogs, and I got him a tattoo saying “Kareena”…

*Rakhi impressed and now looking towards her dog Abhishek*

*Random guy still running from police with his cum on Ash’s picture*

Bobby Darling(dreaming): O yeah! O yeahhh!! Fuck me Shahid! Fuck me! Fuck me with your 3 inch dick!!

Rakhi: Wake up bitch from your faggot dream… and I think you told us the reason why Kareena left her ex-dog.

*Kareena proudly touching 4 inch dick of Saif*

Rakhi: So Raghu, first of all congrats for the success of Roadies 5.0, finally you gave two new sluts to Bollywood, “ANMOL and SHAMBHAVI”.. anyways what are your views about Aarushi Murder Case?

Raghu: I think they gave the case to CBI for further investigation..

Rakhi: Wait, CBI? CUNTLESS BITCHES INSTITUTE?

*Raghu bangs his head on the wall and starts crying*

Rakhi: Cry Baby… and how can we forget our Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor? How are you? You look really cute with each other… So how many times have you fucked each other?

Deepika: I’m still a virgin… I really love Ranbir and I’ll make love with him after our marriage…

*Random guy announces the latest mms scandal… Deepika giving Yuvraj a blow job*

*Deepika deleting Yuvraj’s naked wallpaper from her mobile*

* Now a pole is visible in Ranbir’s skinny jean*

And this is how the show ended. It was one hell of a night. No wonder it’ll beat IPL in TRP! Make sure to watch it and have a blast.

Rating – SHOW IS FOR ADULTS ONLY
