Kangana Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi spoke on Janmashtami.

In 2010, Janmastami passed away some time back. Actress Kangana Ranaut and actor Vivek Oberoi spoke on Janmashtami this year.

Vivek Oberoi in fact played the role of Kisna in Subhash Ghai’s big budget film. He said that he was born on Krishna Janmashtami. According to mythology, the day when Lord Krishna was born there was heavy floods which washed away everything. Krishna’s father Vasudev had to carry him on his head, cross the river and send him away from Mathura.

Vivek Oberoi said that he also faced rain on the day he was born. He was born in Hyderabad. His father Suresh Oberoi had to take his mother to hospital in fiat car amidst flood like situation.

When Kangana Ranaut was asked just like Lord Krishna teasing the gopis during his times, who was the bollywood actor who had an image like Lord Krishna, instead of naming the young heartthrobs like Ranbir Kapoor or Imran Khan he mentioned the name of Amitabh Bacchan. According to her he was the Lord Krishna of the modern times.

Kangana Ranaut had mentioned that she was very fond of Krishna Janmashtami and celebrated it with pomp and grandieur.

Prince had done average business.

Prince had done average business.

Kookie V. Gulati’s film Prince had done average business in the last three weeks after being released in early April, 2010. It had been produced by Kumar S. Taurani and music had been composed by Sachin Gupta.

In the film Vivek Oberoi played the role of a great thief. He realized one morning that he had a gunshot wound in his hand which he could not remember from where he had got it. He came to know that his name was Prince. He worked for a person named Sarang played by Isaiah. His girlfriend’s name was Maya, played by Aruna Shields.

Vivek Oberoi was wanted by Indian intelligence agency called IGRIP who dealt with white collar criminals across the world. He met a new girl everyday who claimed herself to be Maya. He had also hidden a heist which he never remembered. He had six days to solve the problem. The film revolved around that theme.

Although Vivek Oberoi had taken exceptional stunts and his performance in the film had been excellent, the Indian viewers had not received the film with that much enthusiasm. In the last 5 years, very few action films had done exceptional business, and that too under big banners, like Abbas Mastan’s film Race, are the ones which brought great revenue. Last year Vivek Oberoi’s matured performance in the film Kurbaan also could not revive the box-office of the film, inspite of the story being interesting.

The songs like “oh mere khuda” and “aa bhi jaa sanam” sung by Atif Aslam was well received by the audience. But save them, the music also could not create sensation. All these factors contributed to the average business of the film.

Bollywood industry is looking forward to the upcoming releases like Rajneeti, Guzaarish, Kites, Ravan, etc. , which can change the fortune of the industry. In the first four months of the year none of the films created any sensation. Let us hope the films to be released later on in the year would be successful.

It is very strange that Kurbaan did mediocre business.

It is very strange that Kurbaan did mediocre business.

Amongst the big budget films of 2009, Kurbaan was one of the films which did not do great business. The film had message relating to evil effects of terrorist attacks. Rensil D Silva experimented with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the film Kurbaan. Karan Johar produced the film with the backdrop of terrorism.

In the film Kareena Kapoor who previously lived in US returned to India after her father had cardiac arrest. Kareena Kapoor met with Saif Ali Khan when they were in Delhi University and fell in love with one another.

Kareena got a job in US and took Saif Ali Khan to US. She helped him to work as Professor of Islam in the same University where Kareena Kapoor worked. Kareena Kapoor was contacted by Dia Mirza’s sister who anticipated that she would be killed. She conveyed the message to Dia Mirza, but by that time she was killed. Kareena Kapoor developed intimacy with Dia Mirza, Vivek Oberoi and Nauheed Cyrusi. While Kareena Kapoor was pregnant she heard that Om Puri and others planned to blast the flight in which Dia Mirza was flying.

Kareena Kapoor later found out that Saif Ali Khan was involved in the same terrorist activity in which Om Puri and others were involved. Saif Ali Khan kept Kareena Kapoor under house arrest and threatened her that in case she disclosed anyone about the conspiracy, her father in India would be killed. The flight exploded and everyone in the flight was killed.

Vivek Oberoi joined the terrorist group with the mission of taking revenge against Om Puri, Saif Ali Khan and others. Om Puri preponed the plan of blasting three subway stations in New York. Ultimately Saif Ali Khan sacrificed his life to save Kareena Kapoor and the child in the mother’s womb.

The music composed by Salim Sulaiman was very impressive. The song “shukran allah” sung by Sonu Nigam, Salim Merchant and Shreya Ghoshal became superhit. The other songs like “dua”, “ali maula” all were very impressive.
Just because the viewers had discarded action films in the recent past, the film did not do great business. Otherwise the performance of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Om Puri and Vivek Oberoi were excellent. The director had taken pains to shoot in underground metro stations and did innovative work while showing the blasts. The effort did not get the reward that it deserved. The viewers should watch the film to understand the negative effects of vengeance in the name of zihad. Nothing is achieved excepting killing innocent persons who have nothing to do with the policies of 1st world countries.

The critics fear one fact. Films based on terrorist activities did not do good business in the past. So obviously Kurbaan can face the heat in that respect. Otherwise the performance of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Om Puri and Vivek Oberoi were excellent.

The film should do well.

Vivek Oberoi – the spontaneous actor of bollywood.

Vivek Oberoi – the spontaneous actor of bollywood.

Vivek Oberoi is the spontaneous actor of bollywood. He does not believe in unnecessary mannerisms and that is depicted in his films. In Saathiya, he impressed the viewers with unique style of acting where he was a software engineer. He had an affair with Rani Mukherjee but as his parents never wanted him to marry her, he created a separate establishment after marrying her. As he left his own parents, he expected Rani Mukherjee also to forget her relatives which she could not do.

AR Rehman had given excellent tunes in the film and songs like “saathiya, saathiya”, sung by Sonu Nigam and other songs like “chalka, chalka re” became very successful. Vivek portrayed the frustration of his character very well when Rani Mukherjee met with an accident with Tabu’s car at the end of the film.


Vivek acted well in Yuva, along with Abhishek Bacchan and Ajay Devgan, a film which was based on the unrest that exists in the students community in West Bengal, specially Kolkata. The differences in most cases leads to violence and that destroys the careers of the students. Vivek’s performance was effortless in the film.

Vivek Oberoi, never imitated his father Suresh Oberoi, who was gifted with a brilliant voice, in any of the films, and that was the reason for his success in bollywood films. He had done well in Subhash Ghai’s Kisna.


Even in the film Omkara, he had done well along with Saif Ali Khan and Ajay Devgan. The film was based on the rural background of the state of Bihar, in India. He was comfortable with the rural intonation that was portrayed in the character. He also danced well in the song “biri jalaile” along with Bipasha Basu.

Vivek Oberoi had made notable contribution even in action films like Shootout at Lokhandwala along with the noted actors like Sanjay Dutt and Abhishek Bacchan in the film. It was based on real-life story.

In the years to come he is expected to show his acting talent in every type of film, as he is liked by that section of the audience who want realistic performance without the larger-than life image.
