Ra.One Release Date : 26,Oct 2011

Producer    Gauri Khan
 Director    Anubhav Sinha
 Release Date    26-Oct-2011

Pataka? Item? Tota? An actor throws around a few casual words that mean a beautiful girl, until he hits upon one that encompasses all of the above: chammak challo. Shah Rukh Khan's superhero-blue eyes light up, Kareena Kapoor's red sari glows, and they start to dance to Akon's song along with Russian dancers in Bharatnatyam-inspired mini-skirts. Yes, it's that sort of a movie, where everything happens all at once. Amitabh Bachchan does part of the voice-over; Rajinikanth's Chitti, the Robot, shows G.One, Shah Rukh's superhero, how to twirl his sunglasses; artist Subodh Gupta paints the costume; and even pals Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra act out a juvenile joke, playing characters in video game where the star can vanquish the sisters of Bruce Lee called Iski Lee, Uski Lee and Sabki Lee. Even as you cringe at Shah Rukh's Tamil accented Hindi and his eating-curd-with-noodle act, hoping his curly wig will fall into his dinner plate, you realise it's a big party and everyone's invited.
Welcome to a movie as a gigantic open house. Shah Rukh is the host and he will make sure your VFX canapés are delivered at regular interval; your emotion goblet is kept topped up; and there are enough homilies about being careful-what-you-wish-for that you can take home as back presents. This is film-making not so much as noble passion but as grand indulgence, not so much as a marathon magic show but as an event to be managed. No effort is spared. Shah Rukh walks sideways on a Mumbai local train, stops an engine with his bare hands, charges himself with electricity, even slaps his heroine's butt and grabs her breast. In between throwing cars at his arch nemesis, recently escaped from a video game; dancing like Michael Jackson; and quoting V. Shantaram, the superhero moves between the digital and real world, London and Chennai, burial as Christian and prayer as Hindu.
I presume there is some lesson here about being a global citizen, and Shah Rukh's hyperactive child fans will no doubt benefit from it, but it would have been more fun to see more Volkswagens ploughing through many more red buses. But yes, we know, this is a superhero with a heart and ladai goliyon se nahin, dil se jeeti jati hai. The special effects work, but are not always evenly applied through the film. The cool metallic blue of the superhero suit doesn't always show up on screen. And hey, Arjun Rampal really needs to stop clenching his teeth while delivering menacing dialogues. We are not scared because we simply cannot understand. Shah Rukh throws himself about, vaulting up and own buildings, leaping through the air and even landing on his feet with Kareena Kapoor in his arms. In the face of such indefatigable energy, we surrender. Go on, Shah Rukh, give it a rest. In the words of your superhero, you did good.

Be-Careful Release Date : 21,Oct 2011

Producer    Amrit Guzari, Raju Bhati, Ritesh Charodia
 Director    Chandrakant Singh
 Music    Siddharth, Suhas
 Writer    M. Salim
 Lyrics    Kumaar
 Release Date    21-Oct-2011

Story: The best way for Sameer and Anand to enjoy a moment of sensuous bliss is to take a trip away from home... and away from their respective wives, Anjali and Kiran. But fun becomes a far fetched dream for the boys when they realise the wives themselves are up to something naughty in Bangkok....

Movie Review: So what exactly does one need to be careful about here? Is it the plot (Two sexually starved husbands run away from their wives to the sinful islands of Thailand for fun unlimited)? Is it the sense of humour (There are plenty of jokes on the Thais)? Is it the level of insensitivity (more than half of the movie goes into getting cheap thrills out of a possible rape encounter to please the girl everybody wants to bed)? Is it the likes of Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever left to rechristening themselves when in Bangkok -- One becomes Pands instead of Panditji?

None of the above. Avoid.

Aazaan Release Date : 14,Oct 2011

Producer    M. R. Shahjahan
 Director    Prashant Chadha
 Music    Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant
 Writer    Prashant Chadha, Shubra Swarup, Heeraz Marfatia
 Lyrics    Amitabh Bhattacharya
 Release Date    14-Oct-2011

The expectations of the movie goers about director Prashant Chadha's latest movie Aazaan suddenly went up after Bollywood Superstar Shahrukh Khan introduced actor Sachiin Joshi and his movie in IIFA 2011 in Toronto. The movie surely lives upto their expectations and it offers something extra-ordinary in the action genre.

Aazaan is an espionage thriller and the action sequences, which lack flamboyance, are the major highlight of the movie. It is the best action movie shot ever in India. Sachiin Joshi's performance, Salim-Suleman's music, Axel Fischer's stunning camera work and Shubra Swaroop's screenplay are other attractions of the film.

The movie is all about a tormented-Muslim secret agent Aazaan, who sets out on to save his country and his brother. The movie is in par with Hollywood standards in many aspects like action, screenplay. In the beginning, Aazaan appears like a beautiful journey, but it soon turns more foggy. Prashant Chadha has a very gripping narration and he goes beyond the predictions of viewers in every scene. Although different characters speak various languages like Hebrew and French, the director has managed that these languages do not divert the attention of the audience.

Aazaan Khan is an Indian army officer, who has Afghan origin. He is trained at the NDA and is working as a secret agent for RAW (Research and Analysis Wing). He goes undercover to find out information to save the country, when India faces the threat of lethal virus attack. Meanwhile, he is also on mission to find his missing brother, who is now involved in terrorists' biological warfare. How Aazaan saves the country and his brother will form the interesting portion of the film.

The director could have selected dynamic actor like Hrithik Roshan for the hero role. But this does not mean that Sachiin Joshi has not performed well. He done a wonderful job in all kinds of sequences. Candice Boucher is also good in her role and she is a feast to the eyes of pranksters. Prashanth Chadha does not seem to have used the actors like Sarita Choudhary, Dalip Tahil and Ravi Kissen in proper way.

In the technical front, Salim-Suleman's background music is the major attraction. Their composition of songs is also good and the placement of songs is also okay. Axel Fischer's cinematography is a visual treat. The action of film moves from Morocco to Germany to Hong Kong and Poland and he has captured this movement in a brilliant way. Dialogues are also commendable and they evokes the sense of patriotism.

Overall, Prashant Chadha has set a Hollywood trend in Indian action thriller with his latest movie Aazaan, which is a treat for action lovers.

Mod Release Date : 14,Oct 2011

Producer    Nagesh Kukunoor, Sujit Kumar Singh, Elahe Hiptoola
 Director    Nagesh Kukunoor
 Music    Tapas Relia
 Writer    Nagesh Kukunoor
 Lyrics    Mir Ali Husain
 Release Date    14-Oct-2011

Starring Ayesha Takia Azmi, Rannvijay Singh, Raghuvir Yadav, Tanve Azmi
Directed by Nagesh Kukunoor
Ahhhhhhh! It’s been a while since one felt that stab in the heart while watching a love story trot towards its somber culmination. Love’s like that. When put on film it can make you fall in love with the emotion called love, as it happened in Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met.
We’ll never know why Imtiaz didn’t cast Ayesha Takia in Jab We Met after she sparkled in Ali’s Socha Na Tha. But there’s Kukunoor who truly values in Takia’s talent.
She brings to this film about that silly thing called, a kind of inner conviction that makes you want to believe in her faith in the oft-abused emotion. When Ayesha speaks her lines they don’t sound written in this under-written film about love that has goes into the realm of the surreal.
Veejay turned actor Rannjvijay Singh is the nerdy stranger who walks into Ayesha/Aranya’s tranquil life in a  scenic soporific hill station that’s threatened, rather crudel, by a construction magnate whom we overhear saying, ‘The first thing we’ll do is get rid of all the greenery around here.’
Ouch! Happily for us and the film, such insensitive moments are too far and in-between to make a difference to the gentle tale of a girl who runs a watch repair-shop in town where time  has nearly stopped still.
Nagesh Kukunoor and his lovely leading lady are most comfortable with the silences that punctuate life away from the city. The camerawork by Chirantan Das shamelessly creates picture-postcard images all around Aranya’s life and world. The relationships that emerge from the  sedate silences of a life lived in an ageless vacuum are woven into a  plot which careens between being a fragile fable and a mawkish melodrama.
Caught in that morning-time dim dawn sun  when the world looks irresistibly innocent and shorn of corruptibility the goings-on in Mod are so evocative of an era that never existed outside the poet’s imagination that we tend to forgive the plotting excesses that mar the second-half  of the film.
The finale on the hilly railway station, however, erases the clumsiness of some of the proceedings in the second-hour. And what we are left with is a film of heart-aching beauty, soo tender and evocative that in terms of manmade craft it replicates the intrictate threadwork of a Kashmiri carpet where very often the design is so nuanced the naked eye can’t see the craftsmanship.
The film has some truly tender supporting performances from Raghuvir Yadav (playing a zany Kishore Kumar fan), Tanve Azmi (always capable of tremendous empathy) and specially Nikhil Ratnaparkhi as Takia’s overweight suitor who in that one sequence where he pleads and threatens Ayesha Takia to marry him, brings so much bridled emotion into the film you are left feeling satiated with the vast amount of talent that this delicately drawn fable-romance pitches forward.
Ayesha Takia Azmi of course presides over the subtle proceedings. With her effortlessly-drawn emotions she is a treat to watch in every frame. Rannvijay Singh in a complex role that demands various mood swings from the actor, is surprisingly in-charge.
Mod is like a gente sonnet played on a  cosy winter morning. It is the tenderest love story in ages with a central performance by Takia that strikes a chord deep in your heart. Mod is a film you want to adopt embrace and hold close to your heart.

Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge Release Date : 14,Oct 2011

Producer    Ashish Patil
 Director    Nupur Ashtana
 Music    Raghu Dixit
 Writer    Pooja Desai, Ashish Patil
 Lyrics    Anvita Dutt Guptan, Raghu Dixit, Aslam Noor
 Release Date    14-Oct-2011

Yash Raj Films are synonymous with love stories, and with their second release from newly launched youth division Y-Films, the production house stick to what they know best: a story about love.
A romantic comedy set against the backdrop of social networking, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge tells the tale of two losers, Vishal (Saqib Saleem) and Preity (Saba Azad) who fake their online identities in an attempt to get the attention of drop dead gorgeous Malvika (Tara D’Souza) and rockstar Rahul (Nishant Dahiya). What they do not realize, is that the person they hate most in the real world, just happens to be the same person they have fallen in love with online.
So, the premise for the season’s most screwed up love story, is: Rahul loves Malvika. And Malvika loves Rahul. But Rahul is not Rahul. Rahul is Vishal. And Vishal loves Malvika too. But Malvika is not Malvika either. Malvika is Preity. And Preity loves Rahul. But Preity hates Vishal. And Vishal hates Preity. Got it? Good.
From the opening scene with a naked guitarist gone viral, it is clear that director Nupur Asthana – previously known for cult TV shows like Hip Hip Hurray and Mahi Way – is firmly targeting the 18-30 demographic. MTV style jump cuts, speeded up segments and innovative camera angles, do not let us forget that this is a film for the youth.
We have a vague plot centered on a college project to celebrate the founder’s day of the college. Add to that a cast of shiny, happy students, in a campus where seemingly everything takes place except the small matter of study. Throw in shirtless boys and debut heroines not yet at the ‘no-bikini-clause-in-my-contract’ stage of their career, and wash it down with copious amounts of tequila and a thumping background score. And there you have it, all the ingredients necessary for a sweet, zesty film.
Asthana scores bonus points for tapping into the language of young, urban India. So people are ‘despo’ and things are ‘obvo’. A ‘Jawaani Booty Booty’ (don’t ask, just watch) MMS scandal and a ‘BRB’ Facebook status announcing the intermission, will appeal to those always on Facebook – day and night.
As anyone in Bollywood will tell you, launching not one – but four newcomers – is a big risk. Here we have no established stars to support the debut actors, as YRF had tried previously with Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan in Mohabbatein. Nor have we taken the star offspring route Karan Johar is currently travelling down in his forthcoming Student of the Year.

When you are banking on newcomers, one of the key attractions that get you into the cinema in the first place, is the kick-ass promo backed by even more kick-ass songs.
With indie musician Raghu Dixit onboard as composer, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge has created a soundtrack to rival the popularity of ‘Pappu Can’t Dance’ (Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na), and the I Hate Luv Storys title track. ‘Dheaon Dheaon’, a tribute to the South Indian street music form of Dappan Koothu, has been given a fusion feel with hip-hop and rap influences. Sung by Vishal Dadlani and Aditi Singh, the song is already a hit across music channel platforms. ‘Uh-Oh Uh Oh!’ is charming and likeable, picturised with a funky choreographed campus dance. ‘Chhoo Le’ brings Suraj Jagan belted out vocals into a modern twist on the classic stadium rock track.
As is de rigueur for every Yash Raj release post Bunty aur Babli, we are also treated to a bonus track, in the form of a karaoke version of ‘Kajra Re’ sung in the back of a speeding rickshaw.
Performance wise, Saqib Salim as loser Vishal gets my vote. Nishant Dahiya delivers a confident debut as the equally confident Rahul.  Katrina Kaif fans will see something of the star in Tara D’Souza (an identikit accent for starters), while Saba Azad brings the cuteness of Genelia to the table.  Pay close attention to how Preity goes through a post-interval metamorphosis. Graduating from checked shirts and hideously oversized jeans (1974 called and wants its denim back), to a sleek and sophisticated conventional Bollywood heroine look.
Without giving the movie away, the climax – all about love, pyaar, ishq, mohabbatein – ties up the story so that everything is as it should be, and everyone is with who they should be. The final reels have fun with a photo story montage, and seem to do the trick of preventing the audience of rushing en masse to the exit sign before the movie is properly over.
In the pre-Diwali rush to release everything and anything before the arrival of a certain Shah Rukh Khan sci-fi project, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge jostles for a place in the crowded box office with four other releases. While its target audience will get it, and in urban centres the movie should do well, non-multiplex audiences, however, might literally not connect with this love story.
On the whole, BollySpice is quite happy to make fraaandship with the film (though perhaps on limited profile).  It is not just another love story. ‘It’s complicated’ and we ‘Like’.
