Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 17 Aug 2009 | 5:36 am Subhash K. Jha speaks on Before The Rains
The lushing greenery of Kerala never looked more invitingâ¦.or erotic. As a tea planter in Colonial India falls into the forbidden arms of a dusky mysterious local girl married to an abusive violent man the screen comes to fragile life with delicate sounds and scents.
The plot in Before The Rains almost begs to be defined as a cliché. And yet, there lies the beauty of this fragile love triangle about the beauty and the Brits and the native beauty's silent lover whose eyes say it all, and who must do a hasty cover-up job for his lord and master after he leaves his trail of lust(or was it love?) and blood behind.
Sivan's skills behind the camera are so densely poetic you end up wondering if he made this uncommonly-common love story so he could re-visit the vibrant verdancy of Kerala to create poetry out of Nature. He shoots Nandita Das like Smita Patil in G Arvindan's Chidambaram as an enigmatic creature of the dark whose next move is a mystery her.
The greenery is so captivating that the central passion-play often becomes subservient. That, perhaps, is the subtext of the plot. You often find monstrous emotional disturbances tucked away in the non-judgmental folds of the illimitable beauty of Nature.
Not for the first time, Nandita Das, so under-used by our cinema, reminds us of the late Smita Patel's dusky seductiveness. Nandita is often shot in caressing close-ups that accentuate her aquiline nose and cupid lips in curves and bends that signify the peril of feminine beauty.
Miraculously her chemistry with Linus Roache (stern yet vulnerable) works just fine. We see two people utterly mismatched in their cultural and emotional graphs coming together in a doomed clasp.
Cathy Rabin's screenplay never makes the mistake of portraying the colonist-lover as a villain. In Before The Rains Henry Moores (Roache) is as much a victim of cruel fate as the fatally ill-fated Sajni (Das). They meet, make love and are ruined by their mutual passion.
Santosh Sivan's camera takes us through the luscious labyrinth of love lust and loss in no time at all.
The film seems much longer than it actually is. And that's not a fatal flaw but a fabulous homage to the silences and pauses that punctuate life's inevitable progression into the unknown.
Sivan is as adept at showing the cross-cultural love relationship as he is in depicting local rites and rituals in Kerala that make adultery a grave crime.
Nandita Das's eyes convey a hemisphere of mystique and passion. Rahul Bose as the colonist's right-hand man, whose loyalty to heart and country comes under the scanner, gets the complexities of his character in place.
Before The Rains is a far more accomplished piece of cinema than its routine theme suggests. Carefully crafted and narrated in soft silken tones designed for aesthetic comfort the film shows us how the thin line between passion and tragedy is crossed.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Aug 2009 | 5:19 am Bollywood personalities talk about Swine Flu pandemic
Shabana Azmi: "The swine flu has not really affected our lives at all. The hysteria it has generated can only hamper the cure. Instead of apportioning blame, we should act as responsible citizens and make sure the citizens are alerted warned and informed about the disease."
Hema Malini: "I'm not able to understand the gravity of it. I was scheduled to perform at several places for 'Janmasthmi'. But now the shows are being cancelled and I feel the seriousness of the situation. We shouldn't take it lightly. We need to be very careful."
Bipasha Basu: "I'm in London. But I heard about it. It's really sad and scary. I hope things return to normal very soon."
Vidya Balan: "The swine flu just got scarier because it's in our city now. And the civic conditions and the large population make us vulnerable. Some say the media is exaggerating and creating panic but I think its better safe than sorry. Let's hope it abates sooner than later."
Shekhar Kapoor: "I'm trying to differentiate between rumor and reality. My daughter's school has shut down. And I was supposed to be back in New York this week. Now I've had to re-evaluate my plans."
Amrita Arora: "It's definitely shaken me. Instead of panicking I'm following orders. I'm wearing mask. I've a sanitizer by my bedside. And I'm trying to instruct my staff to take precautions. We've to stay calm."
Minissha Lamba: "It has definitely made one more cautious. Normal movement is restricted. That's the least we can do to ensure it doesn't get out of hand."
Kabir Khan: "There's a huge over-reaction. But the shutting of schools suits me because I'm taking the kids and rushing off to the Malaysian jungles to be with my wife Mini who's shooting there."
Tusshar Kapoor: "I'm taking precautions. Trying not to panic. Unfortunately, my film this week cannot be released on time due to the flu scare."
Neha Dhupia: "I'm in Los Angeles and very worried because the swine flu is all that props up on the internet every time I speak to anyone back home. The key is not to panic and to take action as soon as and only if the symptoms prop up."
Rensil D'Silva: "I lost two days shooting of my film Qurbaan in Pune which I'll make up for when I shoot the climax. That apart, the flu scare hasn't affected me."
Amole Gupte: "Its love during the time of swine flu. The family is indoors for a change. No option but to be happy bonding over varan-bhaat and televised paranoia."
Rajeev Khandelwal: "There are huge warning hoardings outside the studio where we're currently shooting. There're doctors on the set. And that's a tad scary."
Shahana Goswami: "It's not affected me. But I see the effect on others. There's such paranoia about in the media and in the people. Hopefully that won't spread the disease further."
Shreyas Talpade: "I'm in Mauritius trying to be as careful as possible."
Rohit Roy: "In some ways the swine flu scare has affected my family. We're really concerned for our baby and my mom as kids and older people are more susceptible. Also Mumbaiites have become extremely wary of anyone who is even remotely infected with a common cold. Professionally, as though recession wasn't enough we've theatres shutting down due to swine flu. But I still say it's just a virus and we can fight it."
Sonu Sood: "I've been traveling a lot. The swine flu scare is a hassle at the airport. It takes extra time. Less people are stepping out. I hope it gets over quickly."
Ranvir Shorey: "The roads are deserted in the evening. People wearing masks on the streets is scary. But they don't know the masks need to be changed every three hours to be effective."
Riya Sen: "I'm taking all the precautions possible. I've ensured that my staff at work and at home including building watchmen wear masks."
Purab Kohli: "It's scary, though I do feel there's a certain amount of sensationalism by the news channels. At home we're just making sure our immunity is kept at a high level."
Anjana Sukhani: "Mom doesn't let me go out. And there're people on the streets with masks. It's definitely scary."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Aug 2009 | 5:06 am MJ's body moved to secret freezerMichael Jackson's mother has moved the King of Pop's body to a secret freezer because she wanted it kept where she could visit him privately.Source: Entertainment News | 17 Aug 2009 | 5:05 am Subhash K. Jha speaks about Kaminey
It's a crazy immoral world out there. Two cops masquerading as Mafioso-or is it the other way around?-are on the run after one of them is accidently run down by the other. A third gangster who looks like a cross between Mogambo and Haji Mastan tells the brother of the injured cop to get another gangster on the phone (yes, another one!) or shoot himself in his head. The distraught cop shoots his injured brother instead. ''Sir Ab ek aur chance milega na?'' whines the cop.
That's Vishal Bhardwaj's world for you. Irrational options, desperate choices... a world populated by crazy cops and vicious dons who are sometimes the one and the same. Ruthless, mean, evil, scheming, brutal and, yes, funny... welcome to the Bhardwaj territory where Shakespeare rubs shoulders with Quentin Tarantino. And then they both join Ram Gopal Varma for a cup off coffee at an ominously - lit sweltering café near them.
Kaminey is not an easy world to inhabit, let alone accept. The characters are so malfunctional bitter and malevolent that their emotional connectivity with the audience is nil. The doppelganger effect of twins in conflict is frequently corroded by the compromised quality of the lives led by the two heroes, one a stammerer the other a lisper. In the both the speech impairment is symptom of a much more serious moral and emotional disturbance.
Stress is the crux. The characters are not really heartless. They just couldn't care less beyond the dingy dreadful world of paisa - pimps that they inhabit. Even when they participate in a normal event like a wedding they end behaving more like weirdo's than baraatis.
Somewhere the quotient of dramatic conflict gets overpowered by the director's arrogant narrative. Vishal Bhardwaj knows the power of pain. He audaciously crosses its threshold with his characters and expects the audience to be right behind him. The exercize gets a bit complicated for the audience as the criss - cross of characters gets progressively hard to define.
Eventually it's hard to tell who's the wronged and who's right. Yes, the unaffected Sweety (Priyanka Chopra) needn't search for Mr. Right. She's found him in Guddu before we the audience join the characters in this binge of brutality. Softspoken gentle stammering Guddu is often joined in his stammer by his empathetic girl. It's like the audience. We are expected to accompany the character's fragmented moral concerns quite in the same way that Sweety connects with Guddu. When we first see him, Guddu is selling condoms. He forgot to wear one with his girlfriend and she's now expecting.
Ditto the audience. Though our expectations are ceaselessly challenged and mocked by characters that live life on the brink, doddering like drunkards on the precipice mocking the inevitable fall.The sequence between Bhope (Amol Gupte) and Charlie's best friend (newcomer Chandan Roy, sufficiently wild) careens dangerously between mock-terror and comedy and finally settles for a tone of tragic irony. The gruesome is often an alibi for the glorious. The bold transition is not quite negotiated.
These brutalized characters are as brutal as they are unlikeable. At the most we can only feel sorry for them.
Trains run through this vivacious violent and vicious look at blood kinship and bloodied gang wars. The locomotive has seldom seemed so débuted of romance. This homage to Quentin Tarantino's homage to gangsterism is not meant for mass consumption. Lusciously specific in their appeal, the characters indulge in their 'niche' harkatein with an intense insouciance that mimics the Sicilian mafia without its élan or sophistication.
The people in Kaminey kill for money and pleasure. Sometimes for honour, though its definition is nebulous. Often enough killing for money is a matter of pleasure for all these sociopaths, some of them dressed in khaki. But that's another story. Suffice it to say the gangsters in action rev-up the plot without truly identifying themselves as anything more than emblems of contemporary diabolism.
There are even a couple of Black Westerners and Far-Eastern psychos thrown into the Mumbai underbelly for good measure.
You really can't keep track of the melee of meanies. Charlie the lisper and Guddu the stammerer run through the narrative, sometimes literally, at other times in metaphorical manoeuvrings that move into areas of starkness that leave the narrative breathless and us the audience panting behind in search of a world where innocence is at an acute premium.
What happened to all those love stories about couples who were chased only by the goons of the girl's capitalist fathers? Guddu's girl Sweety (Priyanka Chopra,endearing in her transparency) and her stammering lover-boy are chased by her brother, a tacky gangster Bhope who says 'Jai Maharashtra' with a pride that makes you condone his parochial prejudice.
Time it was when lovers confronted a class divide. Now the boy from UP finds his wedding to the Maharashtrian mulgi being disrupted by assorted political and non-political criminals.
The narrative subverts formulistic conventions, like the contrasting twins and vengeful dons, to define a world that operates on wild avarice. Riding the waves of this wicked kingdom is Shahid Kapoor, restrained and responsive to his twins' characterizations, creating two different inner worlds from the same source without losing the genealogical core of the twins. It's quite a leap for the actor who has done wicked before (in Fida) without being wicked.
Amole Gupte as the provincial goon-politician is delectably diabolic, childlike scheming and ruthless but also human in his hankerings. Priyanka Chopraâs Sweety is one of those determined won't-take-a-no-for-an-answer soul-mates who you know won't assume the missionary position in bed.
Technically sparkling and photographed (by Tassaduq Hussain) with unsettling candor Kaminey is a world that you would probably like to enter at your own risk. The music is as much a tribute to Vishal Bhardwaj's mastery over the language of human relations as to his affinity to R.D. Burman with portions of Burman's music and song songs popping up for no particular reason.
But then who said crime and the underworld had to make any sense?Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Aug 2009 | 4:55 am Subhash K. Jha speaks about Life Partner
Some of the writing invested into this not-bad comic look at the roller-coaster called marriage is surprisingly sharp.
For example there's this Gujarati family lorded over by a self-serving tycoon (Darshan Jariwala) in Cape Town that remains rigidly rooted to conventions that ended 50 years ago. Back home in Gujarat a modern business family run by a liberal patriarch (Vikram Gokhale) ends up giving its sunny daughter (Prachi Desai) to the NRI tycoon's mousy son (Tusshar Kapoor). The conflict that ensues is likeable and in a fully filmy way, believable.
Elsewhere this spoilt rich girl (Genelia) with a father (Anupam Kher) who never bothered to discipline her, gets herself a domesticated husband who does all the work while she attends to various disastrous hobbies masquerading as creative work.
Genelia as the destructive daughter gets to sink her teeth into a meaty part.
Witty and sometimes genuinely funny Life Partner is a light bubbly take on the pitfalls of various kinds of marriages, arranged or otherwise, and how to avoid the perils of getting into a marital alliance where the partners know nothing about the future .Only the blast.
While Genelia is happily over-the-top Prachi Desai in the rounded sensible part of a Gujarati girl standing up to her autocratic father-in-law does well for herself. Of the two young leading men Tusshar as the timid believer in virginity as a gift to his bride suits his part and does at least one sequence (when he bursts into tears after Prachi accepts his proposal) with tonal correctness.
But it is Govinda as the frazzled divorce lawyer who brings the house down. Govinda gives the kind of tongue-in-cheek performance that made once made him the no.1 choice for roles that required comic interpretations of social problems. He works well in combination with every actor in this film, wooden or hammy.
Rumi Jaffrey's direction is most of the time even in tone. But the last half - hour with its screeching sermonizing gets on to slippery ground. Nonetheless Life Partner is a decent inoffensive marital comedy mostly free of double-entendres.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Aug 2009 | 4:42 am Bollywood Khans react to Shah Rukh's ordeal - Economic Times
Source: Entertainment - Google News | 17 Aug 2009 | 4:36 am "My role in Life Partner started as a guest appearance" - Govinda
In his latest release Life Partner, Govinda's role started as a guest appearance and was later extended into a full-fledged part.
Says Govinda happily, "What you've heard is true. The producers Abbas-Mustan liked my work and kept extending the role until it became a full-length role. Director Rumi Jaffrey eventually managed to gather his act together and we've put together a fun film that I hope will encourage women to look at their husbands and marriages in a different light."
Quiz him about big leading ladies like Katrina Kaif refusing to co-star with him and Govinda laughs, "I don't concern myself with these things. All I know is, finally Amrita Rao did the part and she's a very sweet girl. We just have two scenes together."
He has already lost oodles of weight and is looking younger. Govinda is about to switch lanes, drastically. Having made a career out of comic roles, he's for the moment bidding adieu to laughter to embrace action.
The preparation has started in all seriousness. Govinda has got himself a martial arts and physical trainer and is working on his physique and agility.
Says the comic virtuoso, "I've done action films in the past like Hatya and Shola Aur Shabnam. But they weren't full-on actioners. I now want to do an action film with stunts of an international caliber. I don't want to just plunge into it without being fully prepared. I've already lost a lot of weight. But it isn't enough. I want to lose some more."
On a recent trip to London, Govinda discovered yoga. Govinda's life -style has changed completely. Thanks to yoga. And though he doesn't admit it, it was Celina Jaitley who introduced him to a new lifestyle.
Says Govinda, "Yoga has changed my life. No matter what my schedule, I've to do yoga every morning. I feel the difference within me. It's not about just losing weight. I lost a lot of weight earlier this year when I was shooting in Bangkok with Suniel Shetty for Loot. No, yoga is about self-discipline, about toning the body. I feel myself losing inches around my waist. I feel fitter. I can get into tight clothes without cringing."
Govinda's target? "To look as healthy handsome and fit as Dharamji did in his heydays. He has always been my role model. And now when I look at myself in the mirror I see glimpses of him in myself. That makes me feel really good."
Pausing to laugh Govinda says, "I might soon get together with David Dhawan to make Handsome No.1"Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Aug 2009 | 4:33 am Aamir to play Lal Bahadur Shastri?If grapevine is to be believed, Aamir Khan is all set to play India's third Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, in Manoj Kumar's historical film, to be scripted by the veteran actor.Source: Hindustan Times News Feeds 'Cinema' | 17 Aug 2009 | 4:28 am America needs to offer more warmth: SRKAfter his detention at a US airport sparked a furore in India, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has asked people back home not to take the issue further even as he said that America needs to offer "a little more warmth and speed in its processes".
