Pritam Same tune for two films made magic
2007-12-15 17:10:00
PRITAM has given the music for the hit "Hare Rama" in "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" as well as "Ishq ka kalma" in "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal", but both sound uncannily similar. But Bhushan Kumar of T Series is unfazed. Another point of similarity is that both have been sung by Neeraj Sridhar of Bombay Vikings."The two songs belong to the same family, otherwise they aren't the same. Even 'Thodasa pyar hua hai' and 'Kuch kuch hota hai' sounded similar. Yes, we did use the same voice, and we're very proud of Neeraj who has overnight become so popular. After 'Hare Rama', he's doing shows non-stop," Kumar told IANS.However, Pritam has a different story to tell."While composing the two songs I never noticed they were similar. It was my wife who pointed out the similarities to me. Then it was too late. Once I realised the two songs sounded similar, I wanted Mika and not Neeraj to sing 'Ishq ka kalma'. But my suggestion was shot down by the music company."Never mind. One is a bhajan and the oth...

Kareena's think towards her projects
2007-12-10 13:55:00
Kareena had been lying low for the longest time before ‘Jab We Met’ happened. She says, “I truly wanted my work to talk. I know everyone around is indulging in PR exercises to keep themselves in the limelight. They go to parties and kind of manipulate their way through to get roles. Today good PR seems to have become the most important thing. I simply cannot do that. It is tough waiting for the right role to come your way, but I would still opt for that rather than just doing roles where you have to stand next to a superstar, just to be a part of the film. That’s not my scene. I would rather put my heart and soul into a role. God has been kind to me. I have been approached with meaty roles, always.” I also believe in taking risks. ‘Jab We Met’ has kind of changed the rules, because it did well despite being a small film and woman-centric. Geet (her character in the film) is the soul of the film.” Kareena says even if she does a film purely for money, she will have no...

It's a great follow up," Sonam told IANS in an interview.Asked about other offers, she said: "They're all coming to my father. He's so proud of me. He keeps saying he never knew I could be such a capable actor and handle the media with dignity and grace."While her father is scanning all the offers, Sonam is concentrating on "Delhi 6"."How can I think of anything else right now? I need to focus on my second film. I'm going into a different mood and style here."

Aftab revealed that "I'm going back to comedy with Anant Mahadevan's film which is tentatively titled 'Aankh Micholi'. It's a fun film featuring Fardeen Khan and me," "Then there's another comedy with E. Niwas featuring Riteish Deshmukh. People have enjoyed watching me with Fardeen in 'Love Ke Liye...' and with Riteish in 'Masti'. So I suppose you'd call it a winning combination." However, the actor doesn't sound too happy about returning to comedy. "I'm still all for doing different films". But I've to do work that audiences watch. If it's comedy that they want, I'll just have to do that genre for now."

Soha Ali Khan as ‘Chandramukhi’
2007-12-10 12:01:00
Director was keen on casting Soha as ‘Chandramukhi’ in his modern interpretation of ‘Devdas’. Soha Ali Khan developed a good rapport with Sudhir Mishra while shooting for ‘Khoya Khoya Chand’. However, Mishra’s film will be entirely different from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdaas and is set in the political world. Paro plays a simple girl who evolves into a shrewd politician. Chandramukhi is not a courtesan but an investment banker.Mishra regrets missing out the chance to work with his favourite actress Soha once again, but he looks forward to make another film with her soon.Actor Shiney Ahuja and Lara Dutta have been finalized for the role of Devdas and Paro, but incidentally Soha has been dropped from the project because the makers want an international face to play Chandramukhi in the film.

Amitabh Bachchan's compliment on Saawariya

Amitabh Bachchan will remain the highest compliment received by “Saawariya ” stars Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor with a letter and a beautiful bunch of flowers “Have you heard Beethoven’s symphony? There’s a loud orchestra followed by a thin flute sound…This was the genius composer’s interpretation of desire and destiny…The destiny loud and ominous, the desire soft and gentle. It’s like the two protagonists in ‘Saawariya’,” says Amitabh. “Ranbir is the storm. Sonam is the soft breeze. Ranbir’s presence is a storm, and Sonam is the graceful, calm, gentle breeze that flowed around him.The narrative is almost like a Beethoven symphony, where the thunderous sound of the orchestra is always followed by the soft thin flute - a symbolic interpretation of gentle desire and overpowering destiny.”

after success of “Saawariya” and “Om Shanti Om” at the box office, director Rajkumar Santoshi is playing safe by postponing the release of his new movie “Halla Bol ” by two weeks.Though the director was out of the country when the producers took the decision to shift the film’s release, Santoshi is all for it as “Taare Zameen Par” and “Welcome” were to be released on the same day“Since there’re two other big films scheduled for Dec 21, I see no harm in being cautious and shifting “Halla Bol” forward. The film’s leading man, Ajay Devgan, sat down with the producers and decided this. I agree completely with their decision,” said Santoshi. Santoshi is currently in Los Angeles finalising the technicians for his two lavish period films, one on emperor Ashoka, which he will begin shooting in the beginning of 2008, and the “Ramayan”, which comes at the end of next year.
