After Pepsi ad, Shahrukh and John team up again

After giving us a hilarious Pepsi ad, the newly discovered combo of SRK and John will be seen on the silver screen for yet another acclaimed director – Rajkumar Hirani’s next film. And believe it or not there is more to the already great combination. The film is based on the famous book “Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT” by Chetan Bhagat.

On the book:

Three hostelmates - Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT - they screw up the first class quiz. And while they try to make amends, things only get worse. It takes them a while to realize: If you try and screw with the IIT system, it comes back to double screw you. Before they know it, they are at the lowest echelons of IIT society. They have a five-point-something GPA out of ten, ranking near the end of their class. This GPA is a tattoo that will remain with them, and come in the way of anything else that matters - their friendship, their future, their love life. While the world expects IITians to conquer the world, these guys are struggling to survive. Will they make it? Do underperformers have a right to live? Can they show that they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone?’

The film will go on floor in November and will release by summer next summer. Now what needs to know is who will play the third character!!! Hmmm…yet another off beat film with SRK and John for commercial element. I have lots of hopes on this one!!!

Movie Review: Hey Babyy

Sajid Khan, the tv host show, turned actor, turned director comes up with his first full length movie. Hey baby is a story of three single Indian guys living in Sydney. The motto of their life is to have fun and sleep with new girls ever night. One day someone drops a baby at their door with a note that reads “Kameenay now take care of your baby”. None of them knows exactly who is the father of the baby so they decide to find out. This leads them to find out all the girls they slept with during last two years.

Akshay Kumar plays the role of Arush, with his trademark comic style. Akshay Kumar is fun and since the first sequel of Hera Pheri we have seen him many times doing similar roles and delivering his dialogues in the same style. Akshay needs to learn how to add variety to his comic style. Akshay is teamed up with Ritesh Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. Well Ritesh Deshmukh is one hell of talented actor and fardeen is not all that bad at all. So the team necessary for a hilarious comedy was near to perfect. What went wrong then? Well, actually the plot of the movie had several loop holes. Not only the plot but the script wasn’t perfect too. However the actors tried to fill the gap with the best of their performances. But it was quite evident that the director didn’t knew what he was doing. Sajid Khan definitely wanted us to laugh and yes we did but at the same time he kept us waiting for some interesting aspects, twists or wicked surprises in the movie and it was really very annoying when no such thing came out during the whole length of the film.

The film also had many guest appearances. There were several popular hot bollywood actresses in one song and Shahrukh Khan appeared in one song of the movie. but their appearances were not adding up to the excitement level since we already knew that Shahrukh Khan has a guest appearance in the movie. The movie is fun to watch but you may not want to see it again. They music was not chart busting but some songs were nice, specially Mast Kalandar and Dholna were good numbers.

Chak De India

Chakde India, is a story to remind the nation of its national sport. Highly anticipated movie starring none other than the King of all Khans, Shahrukh.

Story of Chakde India
Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is newly appionted coach of India’s national women’s hockey team. A former captain of the Indian hockey team, now forgotten, it is Kabir Khan’s chance to get himself, his country and his team to the winning stand, once again. But this time all he gets is a bunch of girls who do not really believe in playing for the glory, victory and the country. He has a team that lacks the spirit. Shahrukh Khan’s job is to shake them to wake up the winning spirit. The girls however have their own interests. They are more into government job, salaries and flats. Shahrukh Khan motivates them to look beyond these ordinary things and to play the game for pride, glory and victory.
Review of Chak de India
Following the trend of Lagaan and Iqbal, Chak De India is a movie about sport. But unlike the previous two movies Chak De India is not based on Cricket. As the tag line of the movie says, it is a story to remind the nation of its national sport, hockey. Chak De India is different not only in the sense that it is based on a sport that is nearly forgotten in India but also in the sense that it shows women in the sport field. The girls hockey makes the movie a lot more interesting. The story is realistic and it shows just how the girl’s national hockey team feels and gives the audience a good understanding of why the real indian girl’s hockey team is not doing well. A good movie is the one that provokes a thought in the minds of the viewers. Chak De India brings some serious issues and gives the people a chance to think about these issues. For example it gives you a reason to think and understand the reasons behind India’s backwardness in the feild of sports, even when it is world’s second largest population. The movie also shows you the Indian attitude towards women who like to break the social barriers and enjoy sports. Chak de India does all that while keeping the audience entertained and thrilled.

Being the King of Indian entertainment industry Shahrukh Khan brings life to the role of Kabir Khan. Kabir Khan is a man who has lost, and knows exactly what it means when you losse a match and the chance to the victory stand, glory and pride. He is the newly appointed coach of the Indian women’s hockey team. A team that has lost matches and the passion for the game long ago. They are together for the reasons of their own and none of these reasons is pride or victory. Kabir Khan brings them to understanding themselves and reminding them that it is about winning. Shahrukh Khan has done really great in his role. The girls are all new comers and it was the first time they were ever appearing in a major bollywood film. But you can see it clearly that how the director has used their reluctance and shyness to beautifully showcase the bad bad girls. The movie has a very tight script that follows wonderful story. You know since the beginning that eventually Kabir would succeed to achieve the victory but how he does that is what keeps you interested throughout the movie. And ofcourse you would love the girls and would love to see them evolve from a bunch of outcasts into a winning team.
Story of Chak de India
Composed by Salim Merchant and Suleman Merchant, the music of Chak de India is just as sporty as the movie. Jaideep Sahni has done a wonderful job writing lyrics for the movie. Considering that writing these lyrics was not as simple as writing songs for an average hindi movie. The songs of Chak de India had to fit the emotions of a lossing hockey team that wants to break the lossing into winning. It had to be loud, bold, cheerful and glorious. I think that the merchant brothers and Jaideep Sahni has accomplished the goal. However, I don’t think that the songs would be memorable for years but they fit perfectly in the movie.
Ek Hockey Dongi Rakh Ke is my favorite of all the songs in the album. It shows the spirit of girls in the battlefield with a loud and bold tone. ‘Bad bad girls’ is yet another song symbolizing the bold bad girls. With a loud urban rhythym, bad bad girls is an average indie-pop kind of song with faster beats. Chak De India the title song of the movie is the main anthem of the hockey team. It has the inspirational, emotional tone that reminds the team that they are in the ground for something more precious than just a hockey match. Sukhwinder Singh with his loud cheerful voice was the perfect choice to perform the song.
