Just when the audiences started queuing up for booking their tickets for Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini, a chain SMS started playing spoilsport by revealing what could possibly be the climax of the film.

“Someone killed Aamir’s girlfriend and he lost his memory. Then he tries to find out the killer. Suspens… Aamir himself is the killer. Now enjoy Ghajini!” says the SMS that has been doing the rounds on the mobile phones for the past few days.

Whether the SMS is true would only be clear once the film releases on Thursday. However, several people have received this SMS through known as well as unknown sources.

Says 22-year-old Surbhi Pant: “I received this SMS a few days back. I was very irritated after reading it because I wanted to watch the film. Now I don’t know if it is true or not. Just in case this is the story of the film, I would be really disappointed, as I know the plot now. Eventually, I thought I should forward it to all my friends.”

The film is the much-hyped Hindi remake of director A.R. Murugadoss’ Tamil hit with the same name.

While the original “Ghajini” featured southern actor Surya Sivakumar along with actress Asin Thottumkal, Murugadoss cast Aamir to play the main lead in the Hindi version and repeats Asin in female lead.

Ghajini is the love story of a rich businessman Sanjay Singhania (Aamir) and a model Kalpana (Asin). The story takes a U-turn when Kalpana is murdered and Sanjay suffers temporary amnesia due to a brain injury. Sanjay’s character sets out to take revenge from those responsible for Kalpana’s death.

While in the Tamil version of Ghajini, Sanjay finds the murderer and completes his revenge by killing him; the ending has been altered in the Hindi version.

If this is true, would you still go for Ghajini?

Movie Freak, yes I’m one. Can’t stop myself from buying tickets to the latest movie in the cinema. I thought would make use of this obsession.

K(John Abharam) is a chain smoker. And he wont quit. Because no one tells him what to do . Then his wife Anjali(Ayesha Takia) decides to leave him because she cant handle the smoking anymore.

K promises to quit to get Anjali back and goes to a baba(Paresh Rawal) who promises that by the time he’s done with K, K will be done with smoking

From here trouble begins. For the great baba and his henchmen are simply not what they seem to be and the methods used to get one to quit smoking are nothing short of scary. But will K survive and more importantly will he stop smoking

When the lead actor’s character is called K you know the movie is bound to be unusual. The twists and turns in No Smoking are strange, wierd and at times unbelievable.

True this kind of cinema is completely unprecedented in Hindi cinema but is it good cinema? Hard to say. What it is however is compelling. The plot gets stranger but you cannot stop watching

If you like your movies typical Bollywood ishtyle then you wont survive more than 10 minutes of No Smoking. But if you are someone who likes giving experimental cinema a whirl No Smoking is worth a dvd watch.

The other Diwali biggie, Saawariya was plenty hyped too. After all it was Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, was the debut film of Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor, was shot exclusively on indoor sets, was backed by Sony Pictures and cost a fortune. Sadly, Saawariya disappoints . A bad movie it ain’t but special it isn’t either.

Narrated by Gulabji(Rani Mukerjee), a local prostitute, Saawariya tells the story of the lovable Ranbir Raj(Rambir Kapoor) a minstrel who comes to town and brings much happiness to all around him. One night he meets Sakina(Sonam Kapoor) and loses his heart to her instantly. Sakina though is in love with Imaan(Salman Khan) for whose return she has been waiting for a year now. Come Id and she hopes she will be reunited with her love again.

A year alone is awfully lonely though and it is impossible not to likeRanbir Raj . Saawariya tells the story of Ranbir n Sakina and the time spent together over four nights. Will Sakina succumb to Ranbir’s charms or will his love remain unrequited.

Saawariya has magnificent sets. If Black was dark blue seems to be the theme for Saawariya . Omung Kumar deserves immense praise for bringing the sets alive. Though they really need better fake snow
But there is simply no technical brilliance in Saawariya, usually a given in a Bhansali film.
The movie is more like a staged play. The expressions, body language and dialouges are well….theatricial. It is more like a video taken of a staged play rather than a movie

Ranbir Kapoor is a promising newcomer. He is charming, confident, talented and has wonderful screen presence. Barring the Raj Kapoor mannerism’s(Bhansali should be shot for this!!!!) he is delightful as Ranbir Raj.

Ah and the delectable Sonam. Vulnerable, beautiful, mischievous she has you rooting for her Sakina. She’s inherited the impish Anil Kapoor smile but needs to giggle a lot less.

Salmaan Khan has about 4 lines n looks like a gangster. You really wonder what Sakina sees in him
Rani Mukerjee does the call girl routine…again and is decent(no pun intended) enough.

Saawariya is best viewed with minimal expectations.
It’s a nice enough movie but it isn’t a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film by far.

SRK’s six pack, Deepika’s debut film, 31 stars in an a special appearance, the big clash with Saawariya…..Om Shanti Om, one of the biggest releases of the year has been talked about so much that you cant help wonder if the movie will actually live up to all the hype. Well, it doesn’t
But OSO doesn’t disappoint either.

The story is no great shakes. It starts off in the 1970’s with Om Prakash Makijha(SRK), a junior artist, son of junior artists who wants to make it big in Bollywood but doesn’t have the requisite last name Om is also madly in love with the reigning queen of Bollywood, Shanti(Deepika Padukone) n has endless conversations with her life size posters!
But then Om saves Shanti from a fire accident on the sets n a friendship blossoms between the two. All is looking hunky dory for Om when Shanti is murdered by her ambitious producer, Mukesh(Arjun Rampal) to whom she is secretly married. Om dies trying to save Shanti who also perishes in the fire.

Om is reborn as OK, Om Kapoor, son of a superstar n a huge star himself.
A chance visit to the abandonded studio where Om and Shanti died starts to bring memories back to OK and when he meets the much older Mike aka Mukesh now a successful Hollywood producer he swears to avenge Shanti’s death.
After a tearful reunion with his or rather Om’s mom(Kiron Kher) n best buddy(Shreyas Talpade) OK decides to relaunch Om Shanti Om…….the movie Shanti was working on when she was murdered with Mikey as the producer. With the help of Sandy, a Shanti clone OK is all set to get Mike aka Mukesh to confess his henious crimes but Mukesh may prove to be more of a match than OK bargained for.

Om Shanti Om is a tribute of sorts to the 70’s. It has the overacting mom, corny lines, crazy hairdo’s n wacky song sequences. It takes off from Main Hoon Na. It has lotsa hamming, lotsa spoofing n plenty of overacting
But all in all OSO is fun. Though the second half loses pace OSO is enjoyable if all you are looking for is a fun ride.

Shah Rukh Khan is well Shah Rukh Khan . He happily goes over the top, over the moon over the everything actually. Though his “aw fish” OK act tends to get on your nerves.

Deepika Padukone deserves every bit of hype that has surrounded her. The lady is charming, beautiful and amazingly confident for a newcomer.

Arjun Rampal plays the baddie with panache. And looks a dish even with the grey hair and all. Sigh!!

Shreyas Talpade is a delight as always. He doesn’t have too much to do though and you wish you saw more of him.

So if you wanna chill out with pals or family Om Shanti Om it is. Leave your logic behind and you’ll enjoy the ride.
Come, watch Deepika smile and fall in love

Sajid Khan pretty much changed the concept of television anchoring. He wasn’t afraid to trash big banner movies and call super stars “ham”sters. If only Sajid had applied all the rules he prescribed to other directors in his directorial debut, Heyy Babyy would have been a fun movie. Apparently practicing what you preach is not easily done

Taking off from the story line of 3 Men and a Baby we have three super flirts Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Ritesh Deshmukh whose blissful, irresponsible life is shattered when they are expected to tend to a baby that has been left on their doorstep and one of them has fathered

Soon their lives are in havoc but gradually they learn to care for the little cutie and grow to love her immensely. But little Angel’s(ya ya that’s what they end up naming her!) mom, Isha(Vidya Balan) is back to collect her daughter and wants nothing to do with Akshay who once broke her heart.

How the guys are devastated and attempt to woo Isha n Angel back comprises of the rest of the movie.

Sajid’s hammometer is in full swing and he reins in the actors well. But the biggest letdown is the script. The gags fall flat and the jokes are simply not funny. The music is not too bad but not even a special appearance by SRK can salvage this movie.

The actors do well. Vidya Balan looks glamorous but has little else to do…other than get lied to
The baby is seriously cute

All in all Heyy Babyy is a timepass movie that at most can be viewed on dvd.

Ram Gopal Varma has always proclaimed that he doesn’t care about what the critics have to say about his movies.
He insists that he makes movies from the heart and that as long as he can connect with one person in the audience he is happy.
Considering about two people will end up watching Aag his chances of connecting with anyone are just about nil

Everyone knows Aag is a remake of Sholay. His ode to Sholay as he assures us. But then Ramu leaves his heart out of the picture or maybe he stopped caring about Aag too
So what you have are some of the finest actors in the country from Mohanlal to Ajay Devgan to Amitabh Bachchan mouthing ridiculous lines and basically sleep walking through their half baked characters.
Mohanlal is ex-inspector Narasimha who hires two goons Heero(Ajay Devgan) and Raj(Prashanth Raj) to protect Kaliganj and destroy Babban(Amithab Bachchan). He is also to itching for some revenge as Babban killed his whole family and left him with a bushy beard and a never smiling widowed doctor sister-in-law Durga Devi(Sushmitha Sen).
Also Heroo falls for an obnoxious Gunghroo(Nisha Kothari) and Raj for Durga Devi.

Narasimha has a red-eyed side kick.
Tambe(Sushant Singh) is the closest Babban has to a pal.
Heroo and Raj have each other and Gunghroo and Devi.
Everyone has someone but no one has chemistry with anyone

Everyone looks like they are casually rehearsing their lines before their shots.
The background score sucks so bad it should inspire TV channels to launch reality shows to find new musicians.
The dialouges have you cringing and wondering if the scriptwriter’s retarded dog came up with the lines.
All in all shoddy.

So is there nothing good about Aag at all??
The camera work is amazing. Ramu has always had a thing for fantastic frames and he doesn’t disappoint with Aag.
Big B apparently wanted to play Gabbar in Sholay. Maybe that’s why he comes awake occasionally to create a creepy Babban. But no way he sends chills down your spine.
Physco yes but scary Babban ain’t. Also his raspy cough/laugh makes you want to get him Benadryl
The only other good thing about Aag….Urmila in the water

Mohanlal, Ajay Devgan, Sushmita Sen are all competent but they are caught in a messy script which insists on making them look loopy
Prashanth Raj makes a decent debut. Nothing great but I dunno if that’s the script or him
Nisha Kothari must be the most irritating actress EVER. Either Ramu needs to get a new muse or stop inflicting this one on us(she figures in another RGV flick called GO )

This one doesn’t hold a candle to the original Sholay.
Even if this wasn’t a remake, ode, inspired version, whatever of Sholay it’s still a bad movie.

Nothing fiery about this movie. Infernal is more like it

Stay away to stay sane.

In a country obsessed with cricket where the national game hockey is pretty much ignored it takes guts to make a movie about women’s hockey.
Specially when it is produced by YashRaj Films, the mega bucks producers usually associated with candy floss.
And with lover boy super star Shah Rukh Khan cast as the coach you can only expect the different.
But then that’s what Chak De is all about…courage!!!

It is about one man’s dream to stand up and prove his worth.
It is about a team of rag tag girls who don’t even like each other working together to rise from being the under dogs to champions.
Guts, glory and gumption….Chak De has it all and more

Kabir Khan(Shah Rukh Khan) is the captain of the Indian Hockey team. In a crucial match against Pakistan, Kabir takes a match defining penalty shot and misses.
Labeled a traitor, Kabir disappears only to surface 7 years later with the dream of coaching the women’s hockey team and taking them to the world cup. What he gets is a disinterested Hockey Association and a team of girls divided by language and class.

But Kabir slowly brings together the girls, pushing them hard to achieve astonishing results.

Shamit Amin(of Ab Tak Chappan fame) gets it perfectly right this time round too. The metamorphosis of a bunch of girls from different parts of the country each with their own emotional baggage to a team working in sync dedicated to victory is touching and gets you smiling often.
The shots of the hockey matches are filmed wonderfully keeping the game fast paced and interesting. Not once does the movie lose momentum.

The girls are fabulous. Perfectly cast, each of them shine individually and blend in perfectly with the rest.

Maybe the reason Shah Rukh does so many “superstar” roles is so that he can save up for a “real” performance As the wronged Kabir looking to wipe the slate clean with what most would consider an impossible dream he moves you immensely. Restrained but not aloof SRK is simply awesome. And looks darn good in Ray Bans

This is not a flick to be missed.
Watch it watch it watch it….no matter what
