Director: Ken Ghosh
Actors: Shahid Kapoor, Genelia D’Souza
Rating: *1/2A popular perception of Bollywood films in the West is that they’re musicals. This notion is only partly correct.

Many are left disappointed to learn that the stars of these films can’t sing. They lip-sync. Fine vocalists behind those songs rarely get their due. Few know music composers by face. Dance steps that movie-stars perform to aren’t the toughest to imitate either. The leading man of our cinema is often not even the best actor of his own film crew. He is just the better looking.

Ranbir Kapoor in Rocket Singh

Young Harpreet (Ranbir Kapoor, astonishingly sincere) calls his underground company Rocket Sales Corporation, mainly because at his current workplace, all his colleagues hate him. And they constantly aim ‘paper planes’ at his desk. The new recruit ratted on a corrupt client. He lost the company a contract, and raised for his team their short-term targets.

Feel free to leave your comments on the movie!

Reinvention of Amitabh Bachchan, 67, has been for long in Hindi films, a multi-crore, boutique industry of its own. Most directors have attempted to remodel this rare clay into various forms, to shock or please a captive audience of over four decades. Many have, in the process, merely turned him into a contestant at some pansy-dress show: Jack Sparrow (Jhoom Barabar Jhoom), Gabbar (Aag), ghost (Bhootnath), genie (Alladin)… The star, I presume, came before the scripts. Few of those filmmakers were blessed with a vision beyond a childlike fascination towards Bachchan alone. Balki is a notable exception.

A Karan Johar production directed by Rensil D’Silva, ‘Kurbaan’ is fresh breather from the stable of Dharma Productions, someone known to have a liking for family dramas or romantic flicks rather than movies made on contemporary issues such as terrorism. With ‘Kurbaan’, Karan Johar strikes a jackpot as the movie offers a nice blend of Bollywood commercial cinema along with unconventional themes that makes it a class act.

On the whole, AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI entertains majorly. At the box-office, the fantastic pre-release campaign coupled with the terrific chemistry between Ranbir and Katrina, excellent music by Pritam and tremendous appeal for youth should ensure a big start for the film at the ticket window. The business prospects seem excellent, thus ensuring handsome returns for its investors.

Film; “All The Best”; Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Mugdha Godse; Directed by: Rohit Shetty; Rating: ** 1/2

In his first really decent and meaty role since “Munnabhai”, Dutt gets into the satirical groove effortlessly and fluently playing a visiting Bade Bhaiyya from abroad whom his kid brother Fardeen Khan (tolerably befuddled) must fool into believing he’s married and decent.

‘Main’ is Sohail Khan and Salman Khan alternatively, and ‘Mrs Khanna’ is, of course, Kareena Kapoor. Raina (Kareena Kapoor) is married to Samir (Salman Khan), but is wooed by Akash (Sohail Khan).

Said to be over Rs. 100 crore in budget, Blue doesn’t justify the mega budget it has been allotted and first timer director Anthony D’Souza gets it all wrong mistaking style and extra coolness quotient for substance.
