Mallika Sherawat amazes at the 83rd Academy Awardst

Mallika Sherawat amazes at the 83rd Academy Awards: Bollywood star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, along with Mallika Sherawat, dazzled in their finery at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards red carpet here.

Abhishek and Aishwarya got a chance invite to the prestigious event, where Hollywood`s Who`s Who gathers to celebrate international cinema. The duo was holidaying in Los Angeles and were not at all prepared to attend such a high-profile event at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood Sunday night.

However, last minute help from their designer friends helped them put their best foot forward at the red carpet.Aishwarya sparkled in an off-shoulder Armani Prive bronze gown and kept her look minimalistic with just a pair of dangling earrings and hair on one side of the shoulder. Abhishek looked dapper in a traditional, formal black tuxedo.

Mallika, one of the most talked about Bollywood glamour girls, flaunted a sequinned white gown, with a daring front slit and a plunging neckline - just as she likes it always!Among other Indians at the Oscars this year were composer A.R. Rahman, who was nominated in two categories - best original score and best original song - for his work in Danny Boyle`s "127 Hours". However, he lost out on both the titles.

Nevertheless, Rahman wore a charcoal Corneliani suit and a blue tie to the red carpet, and took a proud walk with his wife Saira Banu, who chose a beige Indo-western ensemble with a golden Judith Lieber clutch.

Description: Andrea

Andrea has been my best friend since I was young we been in the same class all our lives, and we are always together. She is 16, and her birthday is on the 9^th of June.

She is quite short, 3cm less than me, no more. She has very curly hair, I love it, but she hates it. She has brown eyes, and thin lips.

She is calm, and with people she does not know she is shy. But when you know her, she is so crazy, she laughs a lot (she has a very loud laugh). She has a strong mentality, because I don’t see her cry many times, she resists and smiles in front of the problems.

Apart from this, she is very intelligent, and she gets good school results.

The die of a boy on a level crossing

Public schoolboy on morning jog killed by train as he ran over level crossing wearing iPod

A talented public schoolboy was killed on a level crossing because he was listening to his iPod and failed to hear the oncoming train.

Sixth former Matthew Leonard was taking an early morning jog on Valentine’s Day when he was struck. He died instantly.

The 18-year-old boarder at the £25,000-a-year Christ’s Hospital School near Horsham, West Sussex, was captain of the school’s cross-country running team, a gifted mathematician and had been offered places at several leading universities.

The horrific accident happened shortly before 7am less than two miles from the school, which has 840 boys and girls who regularly achieve some of the best GCSE and A-level results in the country.

Last night the school’s headmaster, John Franklin, paid tribute to Matthew, who won a gold medal after taking part in a nationwide mathematics competition last November.

‘The school community is shocked and saddened by this news and our thoughts are with the parents, the rest of our pupils and staff at the school at this very difficult time,’ said Mr Franklin.

‘Matthew joined us as a sixth former, a quiet but pleasant young man who was well liked by both his own year group and those younger pupils with whom he came in contact.

‘He was a bright, hard-working student, holding offers for some top universities, and was also a talented long-distance runner.

This news article talks about the death of a talented public schoolboy on a level crossing. He didn’t hear the train because he was running with his IPod. The accident happened on Valentine’s day.

I think this news was very sad, because a boy was died, but it can teach everyone to walk or run with music can be very dangerous, because you can not hear the noises around you-the car, bike or train.

Bibi

Brave Bibi the Time cover girl whose nose was cut off by the Taliban takes the New York subway

Smiling happily, these friends seem no different from the many millions who take the New York subway each day.

However, behind the carefree appearances lies a remarkable story of someone who has overcome the horror of a brutal childhood and the savagery inflicted on her in adulthood.

Because the girl on the right is none other than Bibi Aisha, the Time cover girl whose nose was cut off by her spiteful Taliban fighter husband but is now rebuilding her life in the Big Apple.

Thanks to the generosity of American people and the wonders of modern surgery this 20-year-old girl can now look forward to a bright future.

Bibi Aisha, now 20, is all smiles as she rides the subway with a friend. She had her nose and ears were hacked off by her Taliban fighter husband after she tried to flee the arranged marriage

At the age of 18, Aisha had her nose and ears hacked off by her husband as a punishment for trying to flee the arranged marriage, before being dragged to a mountainside to die.

Against the odds she survived and last August she gained worldwide attention after an award-winning image of her mutilated face appeared on the cover of Time magazine last August next to the headline 'What Happens When We Leave Afghanistan'.

After being offered sanctuary by the charity Women For Afghan Women, Aisha now lives in America.

Fitted with a prosthetic nose and dressed in stonewash blue jeans and a jacket, the young lady has already managed to fit in perfectly in her new home.

Aisha, who arrived in the U.S. in August last year, now lives in a shared New York apartment and is given regular care by doctors and therapists.

Bibi is an 18 years old girl whose husband, from an arranged marriage (because they are Taliban) cut her nose and ears off because she wanted to escape. He then left her to die in the mountains. She survived and escaped to America. The Americans helped to give money to reconstruct her face

I think in our culture, and elsewhere, any violence to your wife is a crime to be punished.

Thanks to charity, this girl has a new life, a new future, trying to live without fear.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi

COCA-COLA AND CANCER SCARE.

An ingredient used in Coca-Cola and Pepsi is a cancer risk and should be banned, an influential lobby group has claimed.

The concerns relate to an artificial brown colouring agent that the researchers say could be causing thousands of cancers.

‘The caramel colouring used in Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and other foods is contaminated with two cancer-causing chemicals and should be banned,’ said the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a health lobby group based in Washington, DC.

‘In contrast to the caramel one might make at home by melting sugar in a saucepan, the artificial brown colouring in colas and some other products is made by reacting sugars with ammonia and sulphites under high pressure and temperatures.

‘Chemical reactions result in the formation of two substances known as 2-MI and 4-MI which in government-conducted studies caused lung, liver, or thyroid cancer or leukaemia in laboratory mice or rats.’

America’s National Toxicology Program says that there is ‘clear evidence’ that both 2-MI and 4-MI are animal carcinogens, and therefore likely to pose a risk to humans.

(Daily Mail- Thursday 17^th February.)

This news article talks about the effects of the caramel colouring in Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

This cancer can cause harm to the lungs liver, or thirod. For me, this news is ridiculous, because if we start to think about all the things that provoke cancer, we must stop eating and drinking!

All the things in excess can provoke cancer, but with moderation most are good.

I think this news is created to advertise the people who drink more than 1 coca-cola or Pepsi a day.

Anushka Sharma is not that sentimental date sorts

Anushka Sharma is not that sentimental date sorts: Performer Aushka Sharma opens up in a selective question with Filmfare magazine.

She discusses affection, sentiment and Ranveer Singh obviously. Prefer whatever possible kid the performer moreover has some values and inclination that she could get a kick out of any chance to see in her man. She decidedly states that “Romantic dates are not for me.”

Yes, the girl, who in Band Baaja Baaraat fell for a mad unsettled boy of Delhi, says that she likes clean nut scruffy men, who smell good. She says that what switches her off is if the man is short in height. Anushka added that bad body odour of a man puts her off big time.

Anushka, whose style and sex appeal lies in her attitude, smartness and personality said that at the moment she is selfish and wants more in her career. With her lively smile she adds that she can't get involved in a relationship now. Well, time is still young for her, she is just 22 years old, she has enough time to fall in love.

When asked about her linkups with her co-stars actor Shahid Kapoor during Badmaash Company and presently with Ranveer Singh from Band Baaja Baaraat. The actress very clearly states that she gets very irritated when the same question is posed to her time and again.

She told that Ranveer is her first friend that she made from the Bollywood Film Industry. She added that she has no qualms in being seen with him. She says that Ranveer is a very good friend and wishes that he remains the same person throughout. Well, Anushka we agree you have a long way to go!

Dipannita Sharma first time act in Yash Raj Films

Dipannita Sharma first time act in Yash Raj Films: Dipannita Sharma, a super model, who has awed the ramp with her dreamy cat walk, is geared up to join the team of “Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl”.

She shifted to Mumbai from Assam, her birth place, to pursue her career in showbiz. She debuted in the film “16 December” , and was seen in other movies like “Dil Vil pyaar vyaar”, “Asambhav”, “My brother..Nikhil”, “Koi aap sa”. But none of these films could help her much in becoming a top rated star.

It suggests that lady luck is by her side these days. She will be starring in YRF’s film “Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl” playing a role of corporate executive, who becomes the target of a sycophant, Ricky Bahl, who bluffs women. The character of Ricky Bahl will be played by Ranveer Singh. Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra are also parts of the film.

The film is going to be directed by Maneesh Sharma, and produced by Aditya Chopra. Shooting will commence this March. and is slated for release on 9th december, 2011.This film is a romantic comedy, where a charming man successfully dupes girls to earn a living, and in the end, meets his perfect match. Lead pair Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh, earlier sizzled the screen together in “Band baaja baarat”, which was also a romantic comedy pivoting around wedding planning. We presume, style diva Dipannita won’t disappoint us with her performance this time.

Vidya Balan to move toward getting engaged to UTV's exec?

Vidya Balan to move toward getting engaged to UTV's exec? Does B town have a new couple? If rumours are to be believed, then actress Vidya Balan is all set to get engaged to UTV’s Siddharth Roy Kapur soon!

The head honcho of UTV has been good friends with the actress for a while and according to industry insiders, they have been going steady as a couple for long now.

A top industry source told a leading newspaper daily, "Vid and Sid are close. And in the past weeks they have been spotted spending quality time with each other on two occasions. The first time was when they reportedly stayed back after an awards night in Singapore and more recently when they were photographed in casual attire at a beach destination in India.

In the past, Vidya has been linked to her co-actors Sanjay Dutt and Shahid Kapoor. In both the cases the rumours turned out to be false. But this time around, she has been spotted with Siddharth at numerous places having a good time. The actress, who is known for her stellar performances in films like ‘Paa’ and ‘Ishqiya’ may consider getting engaged to Sid soon.

Incidentally, the film corporation executive is still waiting for his divorce to come through and hence is not comfortable talking about his “friendship” with the actress just yet.

However, Vidya's secretary has rubbished all this news. He said, "Vidya has to first know Siddharth well enough to marry him. One doesn't necessarily marry people one is friendly to or has dinners with."

Will Vidya spill the bean herself? We shall just wait and watch if any thing ‘concrete’ materializes out these meetings.

Tanu Weds Manu - Movie Review

Cast :: R Madhavan & Kangna Ranaut

For some strange reason, Hindi cinema has often projected an NRI youngster as a cool and hep dude, pretending to speak Hindi with an English accent. But that, in my opinion, is merely a façade. It%s far from real. Sure, there could be exceptions, but every NRI who arrives in India isn%t wearing an Armani or Versace. Neither is he a die-hard romantic like Raj or Rahul. In fact, a lot of NRIs I know are amused to note that while they held on to the traditions, the ones in India are more inclined towards the West.

Yet, the East-West love story remains a pet theme that continues to invade the Hindi screen. Films like PURAB AUR PASCHIM, DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE and NAMASTEY LONDON have explored this topic most convincingly. In fact, a lot many people feel that YRF and Dharma have highlighted this aspect in various films, which the diaspora has lapped up with glee. But, of late, films that carry with them the scent of the soil are being attempted by our storytellers. TANU WEDS MANU too highlights this facet.

The NRI in TANU WEDS MANU is docile, unassuming and soft-spoken, has no accent or attitude, believes in arranged marriages, relishes the evergreen songs of Mohammed Rafi, is old-fashioned literally. The girl is contradictory. She%s belligerent and dominating, also smokes, drinks and uses expletives, has had many ¯fairs%, has her new boyfriend%s name tattooed on her chest, is a straight-forward and fearless babe. This is their story!

Like his directorial debut STRANGERS, director Aanand L Rai opts for unconventional and unpredictable situations in TANU WEDS MANU. Of course, the fact that Tanu and Manu would tie the knot sooner or later is at the back of your mind, even before the reels have begun to unfold, but you want to experience their journey - their voyage from strangers to lovers.

TANU WEDS MANU has some great moments, some standard ones, some tedious ones as well, when you feel that the story is being stretched for no particular reason. The drama tends to get heavy after a point and that takes a toll on the film. In fact, the writing gets shaky in the middle of the second hour, although the finale is well thought of and implemented. You may call it clichéd or formulaic, but it works big time.

Meet Manu [R. Madhavan], a seedha saadha Doctor from London. Intelligent, temperate and from a respectable family, the perfect groom which every parent wants for their daughter. When he arrives in India, he realizes that India has changed and so have the people. The Indian women in particular are more attracted towards the Western lifestyle. Family pressure leads him to Kanpur to meet Tanu [Kangna Ranaut], the quintessential small-town girl who has studied in Delhi.

Tanu is a smart, intelligent girl who will do everything that her parents will disapprove. With a mind of her own and a love for rebellion, Tanu is dead against an arranged marriage. But destiny holds something totally different for these diametrically diverse personalities.

Although not similar to JAB WE MET, TANU WEDS MANU conjures up memories of the Imtiaz Ali-directed film. The Punjabi setting and the rebellious girl are two prominent similarities that one recollects instantly. Besides, in HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM, PARDES, JAB WE MET as well as TANU WEDS MANU, the girl is in love with someone else and the protagonist helps them take the relationship forward. But director Aanand L Rai ensures that TANU WEDS MANU retains its individuality and doesn%t come across as a replica/clone of those immensely likable films. In fact, his handling of several light moments as well as dramatic ones is exemplary.

TANU WEDS MANU has some wonderful moments in the first hour, but I%d like to single out the sequence when Madhavan confides in Deepak Dobriyal about Kangna not wanting to marry him. Also, the sequence at the interval comes as a bolt from the blue. It%s the writing in the post-interval portions that bothered me. Jimmy Sheirgill%s sequences aren%t as convincing. Also, since Kangna is shown to be a blabber mouth and also forthright and outspoken, why does she turn docile all of a sudden? It doesn%t go with her character, honestly. Also, since Ravi Kissen has Madhavan%s photograph [presumably handed to him by Jimmy Sheirgill], why is Jimmy unaware that Madhavan is the same guy when he meets him for the first time? A few hiccups, but not the type that really go against the film. However, the penultimate 15/20 minutes bring the film back on tracks. Actually, the climax is the highpoint of this enterprise.

The soundtrack takes you by complete surprise. It is earthy and charming. %Sadi Gali% and %Jugni% are two tracks that act as pillars and would help attract moviegoers to cineplexes. Also, the popular track of yesteryears, %Kajra Mohabbat Wala%, is well integrated in the narrative. Chirantan Das%s cinematography captures the lush locales of North India well.

Even though Madhavan enacts the role of an NRI, he doesn%t come across as a stereotypical phoren returned desi. He is real, restrained, yet forceful. To essay a character in such an understated manner is a challenge for any actor and he does it with complete understanding of the character. Unlike her past films, Kangna plays a part that has a zest for life and is bold and fun-loving at the same time. She%s audacious, but lovable. Nonetheless, she needs to work on her pronunciation/diction, which sounds so peculiar.

Jimmy Sheirgill springs a pleasant surprise. Known for portraying soft/positive roles, this one comes as a complete shocker. Though his role isn%t well etched out, he leaves a solid impression in the latter reels. Ravi Kissen is wasted. What is he doing in this film? Deepak Dobriyal is superb yet again. This dynamic actor is under-utilized in our films. Rajendra Gupta, K.K. Raina, Navni Parihaar and Deepti Mishra are effective. Eijaz Khan and Swara Bhaskar are wonderful.

On the whole, TANU WEDS MANU is a feel-good, light-hearted entertainer with the right dose of humor, drama and romance, besides a popular musical score and some smart dialogue that act as toppings. If you like simple, uncomplicated films that tug at your heartstrings, then chances are that you might just like this sweet little rom-com. In terms of economics, the right holders have already recovered a substantial amount from the sale of Satellite Rights. The merits of the film coupled with no major opposition till 1 April will ensure healthy returns on their investment, thus making the investors recover the remainder amount easily. The only concern is the inopportune release period for movies [World Cup] and chances are its business might get affected on days when crucial matches are played, especially when India is on field.

7 Saat Khoon Maaf - Movie Review

Cast :: Neil Nitin Mukesh, Priyanka Chopra, Naseruddin Shah, John Abraham, Mohanlal, Irrfan Khan

The very thought of watching a Vishal Bhardwaj film excites a movie buff no end. Right from MAKDEE to KAMINEY, Bhardwaj's body of work stands out from the rest. The forward-thinking film-maker's fixation for adapting novels and plays is known to all and sundry by now. Continuing with his practice of adapting from the written form, the supremely talented storyteller now adapts Ruskin Bond's short story 'Susanna's Seven Husbands' for his new outing 7 KHOON MAAF. Known for walking the unusual path, Bhardwaj narrates an unconventional story yet again - of a woman who marries multiple times, following the untimely death of her husbands.

Till a few years ago, no one would've ever thought of making a film on a woman who marries, remarries, weds again, ties the knot yet again... in fact, she walks down the aisle multiple times. That's not all, the woman, we are told, kills each of her husbands subsequently. The theme might come as a jolt to the trditional moviegoers, since the wives on the Hindi screen are either depicted as docile and dutiful or fiercely independent and ambitious. The question is, will the orthodox Indian audience absorb a theme like this? It's blasphemous, some may opine. Imagine a murderous bride, some may rant.

There's talk that 7 KHOON MAAF is also loosely inspired from an Italian movie by the name SETTE VOLTE DONNA aka WOMAN TIMES SEVEN [1967], helmed by Vittorio De Sica. That one depicted seven short stories with adultery as the focal point [Shirley MacLaine, the protagonist, knits these stories together]. However, the resemblance could be coincidental and not an attempt to plagiarize that film.

7 KHOON MAAF works in parts. A few stories - involving Neil Nitin Mukesh, John Abraham, Irrfan Khan and Annu Kapoor - are absorbing, while at least two could've been better narrated - Naseeruddin Shah and Aleksandr Dyachenko. The unfortunate part is that the uninteresting ones come in the latter half and coupled with its excessive length, the impact generated by a captivating first hour gets diluted in the process. Even the culmination doesn't sweep you off your feet.

Not just the unconventional plot, even the execution of the subject material is offbeat and quirky. There are several instances in the narrative where the viewer has to stay very, very attentive. Unlike other films, Bhardwaj wants his viewer to stay attentive and use his mind while watching the various stories in 7 KHOON MAAF. In one sequence, the camera zooms and the funeral transforms into a marriage, while another sequence depicts the marriage transforming into a funeral. Also, the mystery of the killer with five fingers and one toe is disentangled towards the end, but the sequence doesn't register as effectively thanks to the way it has been depicted.

Susanna [Priyanka Chopra] is unlucky in love. Her first husband, Major Edwin [Neil Nitin Mukesh], is overtly possessive and suspicious. After his demise, Susanna marries Jimmy [John Abraham] as she is floored by his musical talent. Jimmy becomes successful, but with success comes girls and drugs. He dies of drug overdose.

Enter Wasiullah aka Musafir [Irrfan Khan]. Impressed by his poetry, Susanna marries him, but discovers that he's a romantic in daytime, but a beast at night. He too gets eliminated. Susanna falls for the suave Nicolai [Aleksandr Dyachenko] from Moscow, but this marriage doesn't last long as Susanna discovers that Vronsky has a wife in Russia.

Following the death of a foreign national, the police start taking keen interest in the case. The officer Keemat Lal [Annu Kapoor] enters Susanna's life. Initially, he asks for sexual favors and later, persuades her to marry him. He dies due to cardiac arrest. After the death of Keemat Lal, Susanna marries Dr. Modhusudon [Naseeruddin Shah]. Susanne is depressed and he puts her on a mushroom only diet. But he's the first guy in her life who wants to get rid of her. Instead, she murders him.

In the end, Susanna marries yet again... for the seventh time. This time, to someone who knows she has committed the murders and sins. What happens next?

Though Priyanka is shown killing her husbands with the help of her ever-faithful staff, let this be told that it's not a scary or frightful experience. Sure, it's intense, but at the same time Bhardwaj injects humor in the narrative and that's the prime reason why the narrative never gets heavy or serious. I'd like to say this film is in a space of its own.

Also, though the protagonist marries and remarries, you don't feel any kind of animosity or hatred for the character. On the contrary, one empathizes with her never-ending pursuit for true love. One feels the pain, loneliness and tragedy that she goes through and that's what makes her the woman that she eventually turns out to be. Wicked, she is, but Bhardwaj offers reasons for her to get rid of those men. The reasons, in most cases, are convincing. But the transition from one man/husband to another is so sudden that Susanna comes across as a desperate lady hankering for yet another marriage.

Bhardwaj, the writer, leaves the viewer clueless about the two stories in the second hour. Fine, Susanna had learnt that her Russian husband had a wife and two kids tucked away in Russia, but the manner in which the entire case is solved leaves you baffled. In fact, one often wonders if it was so easy to murder a person and move on in life. How could the law enforcement remain a silent spectator despite multiple murders/mysterious deaths involving the same woman? The writing didn't appear foolproof and convincing to me.

Bhardwaj shares yet another responsibility in his films - handling the music department. One is assured that Bhardwaj would come up with lilting and high quality compositions, but the soundtrack of 7 KHOON MAAF is strictly okay. The Indian version of the Russian song 'Kalinka', 'Darling', is already a rage and it goes without saying that it's the best track of the enterprise. Rendered brilliantly, the song is sure to be one of the reasons why people will be tempted to watch the film.

Always ready to accept challenges in her career [AITRAAZ, YAKEEN, FASHION] and raising the bar with her performances, Priyanka accepts the challenge to portray ages from 21 to 65 in 7 KHOON MAAF. It must've been an arduous task to get the different age-groups right, but she proves her infinite acting potential yet again. Known to be an actress who stays true to every character that she is portraying, Priyanka delivers yet another sparkling, award worthy performance this time. There are several love-making sequences with her husbands and Priyanka has handled those [bold] sequences without inhibitions.

Amongst the remaining cast, Annu Kapoor leaves the maximum impact. He's simply outstanding! John doesn't really get much scope, Neil is effective, Irrfan is wonderfully restrained, Naseer is believable and Aleksandr is passable. Vivaan Shah, who narrates the story of Susanna, is a talent to watch out for. Though it's his maiden film as an actor, it doesn't seem like one. He is not your regular debutant and that's what makes his character appear so real. Konkona Sen Sharma does well. Usha Uthup and the two male helps are good.

On the whole, 7 KHOON MAAF is a dark film that has its share of positives and negatives. However, the film will meet with diverse reactions - some will fancy it, while some will abhor it. The film will appeal more to the critics/columnists and the festival circuit. However, it is not the kind of cinema that will set the box-office ablaze. Ideally, I would've given a two star rating for this film, but I am going ahead with an extra star for Priyanka Chopra's sterling performance!

Today I will speak about the advantages and disadvantages of facebook.

Facebook is a good tool if you use it well, because you can find your old friend and “speak” with them. It’s also good to communicate with your family or friends in other countries, because you only have to have internet and the others things are free. In facebook you have chat to “speak” at that moment or you have their wall or private messages to “speak” them too.

The problems come when people don’t use it well. They can go to your wall and write bad things, or add“porn” photos and you can only can denounce this person and the third time the facebook owners close your facebook.

Another problem is the privacy, people don’t know they can not have privacy and the other people can look at their photos, videos, their wall and their information. In the world, there are many bad people and these people can take advantage of this and spy.

Finally, facebook for me is a good tool because I have used the system for privacy and people can not find me, and look my information. I use facebook because all my friends have it, and I have friends in other countries and it’s cheaper than the telephone.

Weekend in Tarragona

The last 22th of January I went to Barcelona with my mother, because from there, my boyfriend could come to collect me because the 23rd is his birthday. At the afternoon, we went to Tarragona with his car, and when we arrived at Reus, his city, we went to his house to meet his family. I only meet his father and Gemma, his father’s girlfriend, but I was embarrassed!

After that, we went to get ready to go out because we had a dinner with his friends; I was embarrassed for the second time because I hadn’t met his friends before either. But during the night I got to know them.

First, we went to the restaurant Tagliatella for dinner, it is a restaurant like Dolce Vita in Empuriabrava. After that, we went to pubs of Reus like “Green dog” or “Escacs”. In the pubs we danced a lot, and after we were very tired. At four o’clock in the morning we returned at Albert’s house to sleep. I slept in a other bedroom because his parents they didn’t won’t that we slept together.

At 10 o’clock, we woke up to take a show, for breakfast and to get ready. We had to stay in Barcelona again until twelve o’clock, because my mother was collecting me at The Sagrada Família with her friends, because the dream of her friend was to visit it.

In conclusion, I passed a fabulous weekend with my boyfriend Albert, I love.

Patiala House - Movie Review

Cast :: Akshay Kumar, Anushka Sharma & Rishi Kapoor

Director Nikihil Advani and Akshay's last outing together, the infamous CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, remains a favorite punching bag to this day. Besides, PATIALA HOUSE comes at a time when people have had an overdose of Akshay starrers. I reiterate, there ought to be at least six months' gap between two films of a major star, while this is Akshay's fourth release in six months [KHATTA MEETHA - 23 July, ACTION REPLAYY - 5 November and TEES MAAR KHAN - 24 December]. Moreover, the film opens exactly one week before the keenly anticipated World Cup cricket matches and coupled with that, it will have no breathing space as the very next week witnesses the release of another much-awaited film 7 KHOON MAAF. Expecting PATIALA HOUSE to overcome these hurdles is tough, mainly when the chips are down!

The chips are down also because people assume PATIALA HOUSE to be something which it is not. Let me clarify that PATIALA HOUSE is not an 'extension' of Akshay's previous films. Sure, PATIALA HOUSE has its share of humorous moments, but the humor is of the subtle kind here. Nor can one compare it to NAMASTEY LONDON, since that film was more of a love story between a British-born Indian and a desi Indian, while PATIALA HOUSE is more of an inspirational film. It's about chasing your dreams as and when you get another opportunity, if you don't succeed the first time.

Essentially, PATIALA HOUSE is a somber film, with the focal point being drama and histrionics rather than the slapstick wit or in-your-face comedy that one anticipates from an Akshay starrer. It's more about familial bonding, with a sport [cricket] interwoven in the screenplay. This one doesn't tickle your funny bone; instead it moistens your eyes thanks to the poignant moments in the narrative, especially the penultimate moments of the film. Those exhausted of watching Akshay getting typecast in similar genre films will drop the charges while watching this one. This is, without a shred of doubt, amongst Akshay's finest performances.

On the flip side, the screenplay of PATIALA HOUSE is erratic - vacillating between engaging to run of the mill to flaccid moments. In fact, a chunk involving the game plan - the family trying various gimmicks and ploys to conceal the truth from Rishi Kapoor - is lame and bizarre. Ditto for the romance between Akshay and Anushka; it comes across as half-baked and looks tame. Even the members of the family, most of them, have ill-defined characters. Fortunately, these deficiencies get camouflaged as the father and son get set for an emotional showdown in the pre-climax. From this point onwards, right till the euphoric victory, the film reaches its pinnacle.

PATIALA HOUSE is an underdog. The expectations are zilch, the odds are not in its favor, but the film throws a pleasant surprise. Go for it!

At Patiala House lives the Kahlon family ruled by Bauji [Rishi Kapoor]. They follow his diktats as he tries to hold onto his 'Indian values' in the land of the goras. The younger generation at Patiala House wants to assert themselves and follow their dreams, but is held back by their respect and love for Bauji and the shining example of Bauji's eldest son, Parghat Singh Kahlon aka Gattu [Akshay Kumar].

Gattu's decision to turn cricketer and play for England is unacceptable to Bauji, who tears his dream apart right in front of his eyes. A dejected Gattu decides to live the life that his father forces upon him. Gattu genuinely cares and respects his father's opinion, so much that he is prepared to let his own dream be sacrificed in the process. Will Bauji loosen his hold and let the youngsters find their own dreams, instead of following his? Will Gattu get a second chance to live his life?

There's no denying that the story of PATIALA HOUSE reminds you of Gurinder Chadha's BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, wherein Parminder Nagra, as the second-generation Sikh girl, defied her parents' wishes to play football. However, PATIALA HOUSE is a film about attachments, affiliations and familial bonding, about respect and trying to adjust to contradictory values that generally crop up when one relocates to another country. More importantly, it's about dreams and aspirations and how fate offers you a second chance in life. PATIALA HOUSE is not one of those atypical mass entertainers that focuses only on providing entertainment, while the story takes a complete backseat. This one, thankfully, has a story to tell. And an interesting one, frankly. Also, as much as this film focuses on the relationship between the father and son, it also weaves the popular sport well in the narrative and that makes for an interesting viewing. However, the cricket factor is subsidiary; the focal point remains the father-son conflict. Nikhil Advani ensures that beneath the familial bonding and curbed aspirations, there's an underlined message as well: Chase you dreams, don't give up, you live only once!

The film has some striking moments and I would like to single out the ones when writers Nikhil Advani and Anvita Dutt Guptan take you back in time to a younger Rishi Kapoor and Akshay's childhood. The racist attacks and how it impacts the family is straight out of life. Besides, the vital sequence in the film - Rishi commands the young Akshay [enacted by Usman Qureshi] to abandon his plans of playing for England - is utmost convincing. The climax, of course, is powerful and the hallmark of this enterprise. It evokes emotions on dual levels - when the father decides to watch his son play cricket and also when Akshay wins the match for England. Ideally, the film should've concluded on this euphoric note, but the song thereafter lessens the impact of the exhilarated climax.

Director Nikhil Advani regains his position as a compelling storyteller, which he had lost post SALAAM-E-ISHQ and CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA. He illustrates his proficiency in the dramatic portions, handling the father-son sequences with dexterity. The soundtrack [music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy] is melodic, with 'Kyun Main Jaagoon' being the best track of the enterprise. The song conveys the spirit of the film well. The placement of 'Laungda Lashkara' may be debatable, but the song is tuneful nonetheless. The background score [also by S-E-L] is classy. Santosh Thundiyil's cinematography is stunning.

Gattu is a character anyone can relate to or empathize with and to portray that convincingly is indeed difficult, but Akshay plays this part with rare maturity. It's a complex role to portray since he has to conceal the emotional turmoil he is experiencing within, yet wear a cheery expression against all adversities. The viewer is sure to connect directly and indirectly with this character, even if he/she may have not have experienced what he does in this film. Also, Akshay ensures that his bowling skills look absolutely realistic on screen and he does justice to the sport.

Rishi Kapoor, cast as the patriarch of a family settled in U.K., gets it right yet again. Note his dialect and body language in particular. As Bauji, the veteran actor delivers a sparkling performance, which would rank amongst his superlative work when you look back at his illustrious career. Dimple Kapadia doesn't really get much opportunity initially, but is wonderful in the penultimate sequence when she confronts Rishi Kapoor.

Anushka is an integral part of the story. She is Akshay's shoulder, an unconditional support for him and she fits perfectly into her character. Amongst the plethora of actors, Armaan Kirmani [as Akshay's brother] is excellent, Jeneva Talwar [as Armaan's pregnant wife, Akshay's sis-in-law] is top notch and Usman Qureshi [essaying Akshay's earlier years] is natural. Tinnu Anand is competent, as always. Prem Chopra is okay. Soni Razdan does a fair job. The kid who plays Anushka's brother is smart.

On the whole, PATIALA HOUSE is a film about attachments, affiliations and familial bonding. It's a compelling watch, more for its drama and histrionics than anything else. It's a film that explores the father-son relationship and not just those in India, but around the world should be able to relate to the predicament depicted in this film. The hallmark of the film is the merging of its engaging drama with cricket and that's what makes this product stand out from the earlier Akshay starrers. Especially its penultimate 30 minutes, which is the brightest spot of this enterprise. If the movie succeeds in pulling the heartstrings of the moviegoer, it would propel Akshay back in the same position he once was after the victory of NAMASTEY LONDON and SINGH IS KINNG.

Tanu Weds Manu - Music Review

Cast :: R Madhavan & Kangna Ranaut

There are limited expectations from the music of Tanu Weds Manu as the film hasn't been projected as a musical. Also, since there aren't many recognised names attached to the music department (composer Krsna, lyricist Rajshekhar), one doesn't quite know what to expect. However, since the film has a small town setting to it, one does expect the kind of score that would have a rustic flavour to it.

Though one doesn't know what exactly would arrive in the album, Tanu Weds Manu does boast of a cracker of a start with 'Sadi Gali' having all in it to turn into a smash hit in quick time. A Punjabi track by Lehmber Hussainpuri which is different from the routine 'bhangra' tracks, 'Sadi Gali' is a fun celebration number that hooks you in the first listening itself. A foot tapping number with a quintessential desi Punjabi flavour to it that carries the potential to find popularity wherever and whenever it is played, it will find good acceptance especially up North.

The album shifts track soon after with Mohit Chauhan humming around in his characteristic tone. A love song, 'Yun Hi' is about a guy professing his love and expecting the girl to nod in agreement as well. With easy on ears lyrics by Rajshekhar, the song maintains an overall simplicity in its tone and sails through smoothly. Though 'Yun Hi' is not the kind of song that has chartbuster written to it (due to an overall laidback presentation), it is harmless when given a hearing. Meanwhile Ujjaini can also be heard in the background as a backing vocalist.

Next to arrive is a Sufi number 'Rangrez' by Krsna. The longest track in the album which lasts over six minutes, 'Rangrez' has a core essence of love to it and is situational in appeal. Also, it can be expected to play a multiple times in the film's narrative. With an unadulterated presentation sans any external influences that would have threatened to take away from the traditional flavour that it carries, 'Rangrez' would primarily be appreciated by the followers of Sufi music. Later the song also arrives in another version which is rendered by Puranchand Wadali and Pyare Lal Wadali.

By this time around though one does start missing another terrific number like 'Sadi Gali'. However the album keeps it's soft and sober mood that had started with 'Yun Hi'. Resultantly the song that arrives is 'Piya' which actually turns out to be the best of the lot since 'Sadi Gali'. Sung by Roop Kumar Rathod, 'Piya' has a semi-classical flavour to it and shows the range of composer Krsna who spins a tune which is extremely easy on ears. With an old world charm to it, 'Piya' should sound even better when seen along with the film.

There is fun that returns to the proceedings with 'Mannu Bhaiya' which immediately reminds one of 'Genda Phool' [Delhi 6]. Call it the North Indian influence here but the combination of melody and rhythm is on the same lines as the one that was created by A.R. Rahman a couple of years back. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan who goes restrained in this celebration number where friends and families of the bride and groom get together to tease the couple, 'Mannu Bhaiya' is yet another 'desi' track that maintains its essence. While Ujjaini Mukherjee and Niladri Debnath give Suidhi some support behind the mike, Manjeera, Rakhi Chand and Vivek Naik are the backing vocalists.

Last to arrive is a fun number 'Jugni' which is as Punjabi as it gets and gains that slot in the album which is reserved for a chartbuster. Even though the song's duration is a mere 3 minutes here, Mika makes it worth it by letting his hair down in this dance number that should be pronto aired across all music channels to gain added visibility.

Tanu Weds Manu would have settled down to just being a decent album if not for 'Sadi Gali' and 'Jugni'. These are the two numbers that acts as the pillars of Tanu Weds Manu that should not just add value to the album but also help the film gain added visibility in weeks to come. While 'Mannu Bhaiyya' and 'Piya' add further variety to the album, it's the aforementioned dance numbers that are most enjoyable.
