Tees Maar Khan had got the third best opening after Dabaang and The Three Idiots.

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif’s new film Tees Maar Khan had got the third best opening of the year after Dabaang and The Three Idiots. It was a great news for the producers and distributors because the two other films that had been released few weeks back namely Band Baaja Baarat and No Problem had done average business. Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om had done super business few years back. It appears like Tees Maar Khan will equal or beat that record. The film had been released on 24th December, 2010, before Christmas. Farah Khan had directed the film. The film had been produced by Shirish Kunder, Twinkle Khanna and Ronnie Screwwala. Vishal Shekhar and Shrish Kunder had composed music for the film.

The film is related to the story of a great thief played by Akshay Kumar. He had played the lead role in the film. Katrina Kaif had been an actress in the film. She had got a lot of help from Akshay Kumar and in term had helped him. Akshay Khanna is the other major character in the film who knew about Akshay Kumar’s activities.

In the film guest performances were given by Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan. Salman Khan had danced in the song “wallah re wallah” along with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. Sanjay Dutt had been the narrator in the film.

The story of the film had not been unique. But the good part of the film had been its music and the dance performances. Sonu Nigam had experimented with the style of singing in the song “tees maar khan” where he had shown his versatility. Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal Dadhlani had done a brilliant job in the song “Sheila ki jawani”, which had been the most popular song in the film. Katrina Kaif had danced well in the song sequence. May be the sizzling screen presence of Katrina Kaif in the dance sequences had created magic and the crowd had been entertained.

The other song “wallah re wallah” had also been very catchy. Kamal Khan, Raja Hassan, Shreya Ghoshal and others had sung the song very well. Star performances of Salman Khan, and performances of Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar had been very grand. Acting of Akshay Khanna had been brilliant in the film as ever.

The pair of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif had been accepted by the viewers. But the film does not have the same magic as that of Singh is Kinng or Namaste London. If the film does business of more than 100 crores, it will be blessing for bollywood because The Three Idiots did business worth 200 crores and Dabaang did business worth 150 crores.

Tees Maar Khan will do well.

But the film had not surprised the viewers. So there is every possibility of the film ending up being a hit but not a blockbuster. The pair of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif had been accepted by the viewers. But the film does not have the same magic as that of Singh is Kinng or Namaste London. But the film will get a decent start and do well.

Happy birthday to Salman Khan.

Happy birthday to Salman Khan.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Salman Khan on 27th December, 2010. He had been the other superstar other than Shahrukh Khan who had ruled bollywood films for the last 20 years. Although he had mixed results in respect of success of his films released in 2009 and 2008, his popularity and box-office had remained intact. In 2010, he had given the greatest hit Dabanng, which had done business of more than Rs 150 crores.

He created an impression before the viewers with his romantic film Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989. After that he had acted in every type of film including comedy films, action films etc. His musical blockbusters include Khamoshi with Manisha Koirala, Andaz Apna Apna with Amir Khan, Karishma Kapoor and Ravina Tandon, Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai opposite Twinkle Khanna, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega opposite Preeti Zinta, to name a few.

He build a manly body from the early part of his career and from that time became the role model of many youngstars of the country. His action films included Auzaar with Shilpa Shetty, Tumko Na Bhool Payenge with Diya Mirza, Tere Naam, Karan Arjun opposite Mamta Kulkarni, to name a few. His recent action film in 2009 titled Wanted opposite Ayesha Takia did brilliant business. Although he did not shape his career as an action hero like Sunny Deol or Sanjay Dutt, his performance in action films were very impressive.

He acted in landmark comedy films during his career, which included Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya opposite Katrina Kaif and Sushmita Sen, Mujhse Shaadi Karoge opposite Priyanka Chopra, Partner opposite Lara Dutta, God Tussi Great Ho opposite Priyanka Chopra, to name a few. In 2009, he acted in romantic films Mai Aur Mrs Khanna, opposite Kareena Kapoor, and also London Dreams with Ajay Devgan and Asin. Although Mai Aur Mrs. Khanna did average business, London Dreams became super hit.

If his films in 2008 can be analyzed it can be said that his film Heroes with Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Preeti Zinta, had done best business so far. The films God Tussi Great Ho did average business and the film Yuvvraaj could not rise up to the hype that was created by strong promotion of Subhash Ghai. Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s performance had been well appreciated by the film-lovers and the film had created aesthetic values with innovative music and good locations. In 2010 his upcoming film Veer has both romantic elements and action elements as well.

His television show Dus Ka Dum in Sony Channel got fantastic response. The leading actors of bollywood films including Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Jeetender, Tusshar Kapoor, Amir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, all appeared in that show and Salman Khan helped all of them for the promotion of their films that were released this year.

Salman Khan had been extremely popular for the viewers of TV Channels for his straight forward communications. He appeared in Saregamapa Music Competition in Zee TV with Katrina Kaif and asked Aditya Narayan, Himesh Reshammiya, Pritam, Shankar Mahadevan and others about the fate of Aneek, Raja and others who had won the competition before. He enquired whether they had got chance in bollywood films or whether they were still struggling. No other bollywood actor would have ever been concerned about the fate of upcoming talents including singers, dancers, actors, etc.

Salman Khan had always been involved with controversies and his good deeds got neutralized due to the killing of deers in Jodhpur, offense relating to rash and negligent driving, etc. But those who had behaved well with Salman Khan know that he is a gem of a human being.

2010 had been a year with mixed fortunes for Salman Khan. While Veer did mediocre business, Dabanng ended up being blockbuster. He had also hosted the show Big Boss with huge success. The viewers expect Salman Khan to give an even better performance in the films Dabanng 2 and Dabanng 3 opposite Sonakshi Sinha which are going to be made in future.

Hot bollywood actresses with Salman Khan.

Hot bollywood actresses with Salman Khan.

Salman Khan walked with eight hot attractive bollywood actresses in the ramp in HDIL Show. The eight star actresses included Rani Mukherjee, Katrina Kaif, Sushmita Sen, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Preeti Zinta, Karishma Kapoor and Bipasha Basu.

Salman wore red trousers and black trench trousers with glasses. The striking part of the show was that the star actresses he walked with included those who did not have good relationship with each other for some time. The bollywood industry knows that Kareena Kapoor never had good relation with Priyanka Chopra for some time.

Similarly Rani Mukherjee and Preeti Zinta are yesterday’s actresses who had not remained crowd-pullers in recent times. Same is the case with Karishma Kapoor and Sushmita Sen.

All the actresses agreed to come to the show and walk down the ramp for the sole request of Salman Khan. After the success of Dabanng, Salman Khan is also proving that he has probably the highest star charishma in the recent times.

The show-dresses of the star actresses were designed by Manish Malhotra and Arjun Khanna. The actresses replicated the attires worn by Indian celebrities from 1920s till now. Some of them looked absolutely gorgeous including Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor.

It is good that the actresses responded for the NGO of Salman Khan. There is lot of acting left in all these actresses and bollywood would be benefitted if they continue acting for some time.

Kareena Kapoor said she likes Katrina Kaif.

Kareena Kapoor said she likes Katrina Kaif.

Kareena Kapoor said she likes Katrina Kaif in a recent interview. There was a pre-concept in the minds of the viewers that as one is the rival of the other there is cold war between the two. But Kareena’s statement does not show that.

Kareena Kapoor is more senior than Katrina Kaif in bollywood films. Her first film released in 2000 titled Refugee had given her a separate prestige in bollywood industry. From that time she had worked in different films and showed her metal. After giving a number of hits including Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai she entered into a rough patch for some time when her good performances also did not result in the cash counters of cinema halls ringing. After release of the film Chameli, which was critically acclaimed she again regained box-office.

In the last 2 years two of her films did great business including Jab We Met and The Three Idiots. So obviously she is still there in the bollywood rat race at the same pedestal where Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra are there.

Katrina Kaif on the other hand had started acting almost 4 years later than her. She is younger too. But her luck was great in respect of her films. From the beginning of her career, inspite of her accent having English origin, her films did great business. Right from Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, to Namaste London, to Race, to Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, she had been the most successful actress for the last 4 years.

Viewers generally think that rivals never have good relations and there was gossip about ego-clash between the two successful actresses Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor. But Kareena Kapoor’s statements negated that. Viewers feel that it would best for the bollywood industry, that Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif face each other in films in future and do well.

Is Katrina Kaif involved in slaying men like Ash?

Is Katrina Kaif involved in slaying men like Ash?

The viewers of bollywood films wonder whether Katrina Kaif is in involved in slaying men like Aishwarya Rai did in the past. In the advertisement world Katrina Kaif had been the celebrity who had replaced Aishwarya Rai in maximum number of brands. Even in switching boyfriends, the same had been the story.
Just like Aishwarya Rai, even the pretty-faced Katrina Kaif is pretty skilled in slaying men with her killer looks. Katrina, who is being counted as one of Bolly oaks’ leading ladies, has now severed ties with her Godfather and ex mentor Salman Khan.
Reasons of her slitsvilla with Salman haven’t been officially unleashed but seems like Katrina wasn’t keen to settle down with an ageing guy who is 20 years older than her. Meanwhile, tongues have been wagging hard with her sizzling chemistry with Rajneeti actor Ranbir Kapoor.
Ranbir, himself, has been going single after a scandalous break-up with the leggy Deepika Padukone and is ready to mingle. And he does like Katrina.
However, Katrina is currently bonding big time with Hrithik Roshan, her co-star from Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. Both are pretty much into each other and getting along like a house on fire. They do while away their free time chatting and laughing.
But thanks to Hrithik’s loyalty towards wife Suzanne, not much is being made of his thriving friendship with Katrina. After Salman, it would be interesting to see which man enters Katty’s life next!
Aishwarya Rai, did not gain a lot from switching from Salman Khan to Vivek Oberoi to Abhishek Bacchan. In the last three years her stardom was below Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. In fact the most successful period of her career hovered at a period when there were no gossips relating to her personal life.
Katrina Kaif’s real test will be two three years from now, when she has to face the young brigade of actresses who would be five six years younger than her. Bollywood actresses in the recent past did not do well after they reached 30 years of age. Viewers hope that gossips do not stand in the way of fair performance in leading roles of Katrina Kaif in future.

Salman Khan had broken up with Katrina Kaif

Salman Khan had broken up with Katrina Kaif.

The "it couple" of Bollywood, that is Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have parted ways. In an interview to Headlines Today, given on 18th August, 2010, Salman confessed that the two have indeed moved on.

"I have broken up with Katrina. We were friends then for everybody, we are friends now," Salman said.

Reasoning the break up Salman said, "Koi cheez tootati hain toh isliye kyonki ya to different ways chali gayi hain, ya ek shakhs ki growth nahin hui, ya ek ne kuch aur path chun liya hai, ya sensibility samajh mein nahi aati, ya thinking galat ho gayi hain (A relationship breaks if it gets stretched in different directions, or one person does not grow, or the other person takes a different path, or there is some misunderstanding) or they have grown out of love."

"So there are different interferences, the parents perhaps... or the interference of anything," he said, adding, "It's just two people not getting along, something that obviously doesn't end peacefully. But if you can manage to stay friends, there is nothing like it."

Katrina however preferred to leave it to god rather than answering directly whether the two have actually parted ways. "I don't think any of us know the future. We always try and make plans and I have learnt from my experience that you really cannot make plans. God has made his own plans for you," Katrina said.

However, hinting that it could be a publicity stunt, Salman ended the chat saying, "Aapko bahut samay tak confuse rakhenge hum dono (Both of us will keep you confused for a long time)."

It is interesting to see, how the break up can influence the career of Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Katrina Kaif had already given a blockbuster in the form of Rajneeti this year. But Salman Khan desperately requires a hit. May be Debaang can bring back his stardom.

Viewers still want to see both of them in bollywood films together. May be the magic of Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya can be reproduced in near future again.

Happy birthday to Katrina Kaif.

Happy birthday to Katrina Kaif.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Katrina Kaif on 16th July, 2010 .When Katrina Kaif initially had successful films opposite leading stars of bollywood, many section of the viewers anticipated that she would not be the horse which will run a long distance. Her dialogues had to be dubbed and as she had nothing other beauty.

But Katrina Kaif in the last two years had proved herself and established her indispensability in bollywood films. She was brilliant in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya opposite Salman Khan, in a film where the other beauties like Sushmita Sen and Isha Kopikaar were tested opposite her. Yet she came out successful. Her songs “just chill chill” created the maximum attention.

She was successful in the film Race opposite Akshay Khanna and Saif Ali Khan. The beauty of Katrina Kaif overpowered the performances of other style icons like Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy. Katrina Kaif was sublime in films like Welcome and Namaste London where she was the most appropriate character opposite Akshay Kumar.

Katrina Kaif was absolutely successful in the film Singh is Kingg. The song that was picturised on Katrina Kaif namely “teri ore teri ore” sung by Shreya Ghoshal received most of the awards of last year. Katrina Kaif complimented Akshay Kumar in the film.

Even in 2009, Katrina Kaif had big releases like Blue and Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. In both these films other stars had acted along with Katrina Kaif, but the beauty of Katrina Kaif had been a big asset for the films.

These days Katrina Kaif had learned hindi and got Rajib Gandhi award for excellence in bollywood films. In 2009, her film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani opposite Ranbir Kapoor did business worth Rs 65 crores. That had made her presence in bollywood films more material. Her film Rajneeti opposite Ranbir Kapoor had done business worth Rs 80 crores and emerged as the greatest blockbuster of 2010.

She is expected to storm bollywood with her upcoming films and continue her dream run.

Prospect of Kareena Kapoor in 2010.

Prospect of Kareena Kapoor in 2010.

2010 is definitely going to be a testing year for Kareena Kapoor. As it has been said a number of times that the task of retaining the number one position in bollywood industry is more difficult than reaching the number one position.

Kareena Kapoor has generally four competitors namely Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai and Lara Dutta. She has an edge over the other actresses in terms of her acting potentiality which she had proved a number of times. But Katrina Kaif’s master luck had resulted in hits after hits, the latest one being Rajneeti.

But these days whenever any actress crosses 30 years, or gets married the producers and directors discard them. So the period of success of the leading actresses are getting reduced day by day. Madhuri Dixit ruled bollywood films for more than ten years. But after her retirement every year Indian celluloid saw a new reigning queen.

In 2009, Kareena’s film Kambakht Ishq did fantastic business. Kareena’s combination with Akhay Kumar entertained the viewers to a great extent. In the same year she acted opposite Amir Khan in film The Three Idiots and Salman Khan in the film Mai and Mrs. Khanna. The Three Idiots did a business worth 150 crores. The other film Kurbaan opposite Saif Ali Khan flopped inspite of Kareena Kapoor’s brilliant performance.

Kareena also has to face the fact that she is a bit older than Katrina Kaif or Priyanka Chopra, so obviously her demand will gradually go down. So she is inclined to sign meaningful films at the moment and try to maintain her steady market.

It is fact that Kareena Kapoor had pulled on the legacy of Raj Kapoor after Rishi Kapoor, as none of the sons of Shammi Kapoor or Shashi Kapoor could be successful in bollywood films. Wherever Kareena Kapoor even did dance numbers, her performance was appreciated. For example her performance in Don in the dance number “yeh mera dil pyar ka diwana” amazed the viewers.

In 2010 Kareena is acting opposite Shahid Kapoor again in the film Milenge Milenge. The viewers are looking forward to even better performance from Kareena Kapoor in 2010 itself.

Rajneeti got a very good opening.

Rajneeti got a very good opening.

The film Rajneeti had a brilliant opening. In the first week itself it had earned Rs 40 crores from India and oversees. The producers, distributors were quite apprehensive about the success of the film after Kites did not do desirable business in the last month. The film produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Prakash Jha had been released on 4th June, 2010.

Rajneeti had been made with the subject relating to politics in India. The film had shown the result of ambitions of individuals to rise to fame in politics in India. Ajay Devgan had been a person who wanted to fight for the country.

Katrina Kaif played the role of a woman who was already there in politics and wished to sacrifice her life for the cause of development of the country. Arjun Rampal was a person, who never wanted anyone to fight for India. He showed the state of mind in the entire film.

Arjun Rampal’s own brother Ranbir Kapoor, who came from foreign country showed a different mindset. He felt interested to help the cause of the country through politics.

A very key role had been played by Nana Patekar in the film. The other major actors in the film included Manoj Vajpai, Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah, etc. All had given power-packed performances.

The music had been composed by Pritam, Aadesh Srivastav, Shantanu Moitra and Wayne Sharpe. The music had been very meaningful.

The film has all the ingredients for being successful. Katrina Kaif had shown that if she gets opportunities she can show her acting potentials. She had added acting in the list of positive attributes which previously was only restricted to height, complexion and beauty.
The acting capabilities of Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, Manoj Vajpai do not require any new introduction. Prakash Jha had used his team of actors and actresses very well.

The film had addressed both the intellectual audience and the commercial audience. Viewers were not bewildered with media hype relating to differences of Ranbir Kapoor with Katrina Kaif. The private channels showed that they never talked to each other during the premier. Even in the Indian Idol Show in Sony TV, Ranbir Kapoor came separately to cheer the participants. Katrina Kaif came separately with Arjun Rampal.

2010 had not been very productive for bollywood industry. Rajneeti will probably be the first super hit film which had been released in 2010.

Has Salman Katrina's relationship ended?

Has Salman Katrina’s relationship ended?

Viewers wonder whether the four year relationship between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif had ended or not. Katrina Kaif in interview in 2009 had mentioned that she does not have any more relationship with Salman Khan even as a friend. Sometimes these rumours are created to add popularity in bollywood arena.

But facts and circumstances establish that the relationship had not been the same as before. Over-possessiveness of Salman Khan had been the cause of such end. Katrina Kaif found while she was shooting for the film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, with Ranbir Kapoor, that Salman Khan over-interfered in her affairs against her liking. Just as she never interfered in other’s affairs she disliked other’s interference in her affairs. In 2009, Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani did business worth 70 crores and became a smash hit.

The relationship grew up in four five years ago and Salman Khan took the credit of introducing Katrina Kaif in Indian films. His film with Katrina Kaif, Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya also bolstered the relationship. The film helped Katrina Kaif to create her box-office popularity in the early part of her career by giving lips in impressive songs like “yeh larki loot ke man mera le gayi”, “just chill chill”, “teri meri lovestory”, etc. In 2008, their film Partner did fabulous business, and viewers started thinking that Katrina Kaif was going to marry Salman Khan. Although Katrina was cast opposite Govinda, Salman Khan was very much there in the film with his romantic role opposite Lara Dutta.

Even the failure of Yuvvraaj, at the box-office did not raise eyebrows relating to Salman –Katrina relationship. Viewers appreciated their online chemistry, as all the songs composed by the team of AR Rehman, Gulzar and Subhash Ghai became super hit. Prominent songs included “tu muskura”, “shano shano”, etc.

If the losses and gains after the end of the relationship is analyzed, everyone will agree that Katrina Kaif is hardly going to lose her stardom, as she had given hits with other actors like Akshay Kumar in Namaste London, Welcome, Singh is Kinng, etc., Akshay Khanna in Race, Govinda in Partner, to name a few. Her film Rajneeti had been released very recently opposite Ranbir Kapoor. She is young as well and has a long future ahead of her.

Salman Khan is in his 40s. He already had got a bad reputation for failing to maintain relationship due to his bad temper. But Katrina Kaif had agreed to play a cameo in Salman Khan’s film Debaang. Viewers wonder whether in that case the differences with Katrina Kaif had ended or reduced down.

Salman Khan had also not attained such age where he can switch on to character roles and leave the rat race relating to heroes. In that case his star-image would not have been affected at all. Last year had been a bad year for Salman Khan and if his instability with co-actors and actresses continue he has to see bad days in future.

There is another possibility. Producers and directors hardly cast Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif opposite each other due to flops given by them together in the past. So even if the relationship exists, the success of both the actors and actresses come opposite other co-stars.

Viewers expect both Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif to act well in the films to come, ignoring the personal relationship.

Rajneeti will end up being blockbuster.

Song of Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani appealed the most in 2009.

Songs of Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani appealed the most in 2009.

Among the different songs composed by various composers and written by various lyricists in 2009, the ones composed by Pritam in the film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani appealed the most.

Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani had Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor acting together in a romantic role for the first time. So obviously the viewers had a lot of expectation from both of them. Atif Aslam and Alisha Chinoy had sung the song “tera hone laga hoon” which was probably the most romantic composition of 2009. It does not matter whether Pritam had received any filmfare award for the best composer, the award givers these days think that giving any award to AR Rehman increases their prestige after winning Oscar. Neither does it matter whether Atif Aslam or Alisha Chinoy wins any awards or not.

The lyrics of the songs were very catchy, especially the line “shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on feel me girl feel me”. The part sung by Alisha Chinoy titled “o aja tubhi mera mera” attaches the portion of Atif Aslam titled “tera hone laga hoon” in the film. The orchestration is very soft and the lyrics written by Irshad Kamil is very meaningful.

The songs composed by Pritam in the film Jab We Met were equally romantic, which did not get the appreciation they deserved. Specially the song “tum se hi” had an everlasting in terms of the rhythm and melody. Soft numbers always have a lasting impression.

In that respect Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani reached the viewers and audiences through their songs even more than the performances of Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor which were decent as well. Pritam should get encouraged to compose more soft numbers in future.

Happy birthday to Salman Khan.

No other bollywood actor would have ever been concerned about the fate of upcoming talents including singers, dancers, actors, etc.

Salman Khan had always been involved with controversies and his good deeds got neutralized due to the killing of deers in Jodhpur, offense relating to rash and negligent driving, etc. But those who had behaved well with Salman Khan know that he is a gem of a human being.

The viewers expect him to get settled after marrying Katrina Kaif and giving lifetime performance in his next film Veer which is going to be released in 2010.

Songs in Ranbir Kapoor's films.

Songs in Ranbir Kapoor’s films.

Songs play a very vital role in the careers of leading stars of bollywood films. Whenever the name of Raj Kapoor comes in the minds of viewers the songs namely “mera juta hai japani”, “awara hoon”, “mur murke na dekh”, “o mehbooba” comes in the minds of the viewers. Similarly Dilip Kumar is associated with songs like “madhuban me radhika nachere”, “do sitaron ka zameen par hai Milan”, “ek shahenshah ne banwake haseen tajmahal”, “aaj ki raat mere”, etc.

In that respect Ranbir Kapoor is blessed with good songs. He has acted in 4 films till now, namely Sawariya, Bacchna Aye Haseeno, Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. All these films had very promising songs.

The songs “sawariya” and “jab se tume dekha” in the film Sawariya, had done great business inspite of the film not doing that well. The songs of the film Bacchna Aye Haseeno composed by Vishal Shekhar created storms. All the songs in the film became super hit.

The notable songs in Bachna Aye Haseeno included “khuda jane ke mai fida hoon”, “bacchna aye haseeno”, “ahista ahista”. The excellent lips of the actresses Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba had helped Ranbir Kapoor to maintain balance in the film. Besides, the exotic locations in the film were also appreciated by the viewers.

Wake Up Sid was a serious film and as such the music did not matter that much. Even then the music was very decent in the film. The performance of Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor was very realistic and that created a separate impression in the minds of the viewers.

Pritam did a grand job in the film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. It had been the greatest hit of the career of Ranbir Kapoor. All the songs in the film became super hit.

Review of De Dana Dan.

Review of De Dana Dan.

Director Priyadarshan had come up with another hilarious film De Dana Dan, the sequel of Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri. He had used the same team of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal, whom he had used in the films Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri.

In this film Akshay Kumar had been shown as a butler, cook, personal attendant of rich industrialist in Singapore played by Archana Puran Singh. He had an affair with Katrina Kaif. Akshay Kumar’s friend Sunil Shetty came to Singapore to become rich but ended up being a courier delivery person. He had an affair with Sameera Reddy who was a rich girl but whose parents wanted her to get married to only a rich person.

In the meantime Paresh Rawal, who was a businessman, wanted to get Chunkey Pandey married to Sameera Reddy so that, he can get lot of money in dowry as Sameera Reddy was very rich.

Both Sunil Shetty and Akshay Kumar planned to kidnap a person to recover ransom. In that way they could get quick cash and impress their girlfriends. But things went wrong just like other Priyadarshan movies and the chaos leads to comedy instances.

Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty again did a brilliant job. The music of Pritam had rocked bollywood even before the film had been released. Some of the hit songs include “paisa” sung by Selina, Manak E, etc., “gale lag ja” sung by Javed Ali and Ban Jyotsna, “hotty naughty” sung by Sunidhi Chauhan.

The exotic location of Singapore is going to create special attention for the viewers. Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy brought out their comedy instincts in style.

As a whole the film is going to be super hit and bring huge revenue to bollywood film industry

Katrina Kaif's expectation from De Dana Dan.

Katrina Kaif’s expectation from De Dana Dan.

Katrina Kaif has a big expectation from the film De Dana Dan. There are few reasons for her expectation. Firstly with the passing of time the viewers question Katrina Kaif’s consistency in providing hit films. Secondly her pair with Akshay Kumar had always given hits including Namaste London, Welcome, Singh is Kinng, etc. So the acceptability of the pair is again questioned.

In response to the first issue, the critics, directors, producers and other involved in the entertainment industry will agree that it is not possible to give hits one after the other. Eminent market strategists like Raj Kapoor even suffered the consequences of flop films like Mera Naam Joker. With change of days, months, years, the tastes of viewers also differ. At one time during Big B’s domination, action films like Sholay, Zanjeer, Deewar, rocked bollywood films. But these days with exceptions most of the action suffers end up being flops.

Although Katrina Kaif acted in hit films one after the other like Race, Partner, Welcome, etc., those films which were released this year got mediocre market like Blue. The performance of Katrina Kaif was not an issue because she got a very small role and the major contribution was made by Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta. Katrina had learned from bitter experiences that she requires few flop films to let the viewers also know it is inhuman on the part of any actress to give only hits and nothing else. But she bounced back with super hit film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani with romantic icon Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina Kaif had one advantage. In face she had acted in the film De Dana Dan, which had been a comedy film. It is a sequel of the films Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri. Both the previous films had been super hits. The combination of Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar had rocked bollywood before.

So there is every possibility of De Dana Dan, being a super hit film. Akshay Kumar had been cast opposite Katrina Kaif, while Sunil Shetty had been cast opposite Sameera Reddy. Let us hope that the film will do great business.
