Hulla Movie Review

Director - Jaideep Varma
Producer - Sunil Doshi

Cast - Sushant Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Kartikadevi Rane, Mandeep, Vrajesh Hirjee, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and others.

Hulla, the film by debutant director Jaideep Varma, is an attempt to capture the travails of those living in an increasingly congested Mumbai and sometimes how something as insignificant as a whistle can cause turmoil in one's life. A share market broker Raj, played by Sushant Singh, shifts into a middle-class building in suburban Mumbai.

He finds he is unable to sleep due to the long-shrill whistle blown by the watchman every now and then, whereas his wife is absolutely unperturbed. Raj futilely turns to Janardan, the building secretary played by Rajat Kapoor, with his complaint. Soon they create a mountain out of a mole hill and the matter reaches the police station and unhinges two families.

This two-hour flick, in a very punny sort of way, gives a quick peek into the lives of the Mumbaikers full of eccentricities and peculiar tensions. People are show doing their bit to scale up the economic-social ladder by buying a better car, bigger house and shifting closer south Mumbai.

The neighbors of Raj - Janardan's wife who is as obsessed with yoga as she is about looking out for a two-bedroom flat and his next-door neighbor's daughter who is constantly breaking things - are really peculiar characters in Hulla. There sure is wit in this film, which Varma has himself penned, but the protagonists lack the energy to keep viewers' interest from wavering during the two-hour long span. On the whole, one can say that the film was a fair attempt.

My career is top priority: Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor says that she doesn’t like the endless attention people give to her relationship with actor Saif Ali Khan and that most of the stories are untrue.
“There’re so many false stories about Saif and me. But it’s okay. I understand the need to know what’s going in our lives. Are we married… are we not married? Please! Fortunately, I’ve learnt to take all this unwanted speculation in my stride. The best thing is to just do my work and not get affected by the loose talk,” Kareena said in an interview.
She says it was wrong to have heightened expectations from Tashan just because it had Saif and her.
“We just did what the script required us to. I don’t think people should’ve gone to see Tashan as Saif and my love story. What does that mean! We’re playing characters. That’s why Jab We Met worked. The characters worked,” said Kareena.
She doesn’t like comparing her love life with work and said: “When I’m working, I’m working. And when I’m with him (Saif), I’m all there.”
Excerpts:
Q: What’s this about you being the highest paid actress in India?
A: I don’t know what other actors get paid. And I don’t care. I get what I deserve. I’ve slogged right from Refugee to Jab We Met and Tashan. An actor is signed for what he or she can deliver.
Q: Is your price flexible?
A: I’ve always been flexible with my fee. The hunger is for the right roles.
Q: There were lots of heightened expectations from your last release Tashan because of you and Saif.
A: We just did what the script required us to. I don’t think people should’ve gone to see Tashan as Saif and my love story. What does that mean! We’re playing characters. That’s why Jab We Met worked. The characters worked. I had earlier done many films with Shahid while we were seeing each other. They didn’t work. Why?
Q: You tell me.
A: Today it’s the script that works. All actors are hungry for the right scripts and characters.
Q: All the attention given to your relationship with Saif - does that scare you?
A: I can’t stop living my life the way I want to just because of the attention. As long as I don’t let my family down, I’m not scared. I’ll always retain my values. But, yes, at times this endless attention does get scary. There’re so many false stories about Saif and me. But it’s okay. I understand the need to know what’s going in our lives. Are we married… are we not married? Please! Fortunately, I’ve learnt to take all this unwanted speculation in my stride. The best thing is to just do my work and not get affected by the loose talk.
Q: Are you fully comfortable in your relationship with Saif?
A: Yes. But only the two people in a relationship know what is going on. I don’t think people have the right to know what’s going on in my private life. They’ve my films to judge me by. I don’t need to give explanations about what happens behind my closed doors. Right now I’m loving it. The paparazzi is doing their job. We’re doing ours. Both Saif and I understand that.
Q: The two of you don’t have that much work together.
A: No, after Tashan we only have Renzil d’Silva’s film together. Both of us are too sensible to sign films just to spend time together. Saif is way too mature and extremely understanding. He respects the kind of work I like to do as I respect his work. And we keep our careers apart. Saif knows that right now my career is the most important thing to me. And that I need the space to work. To my family and me my career is top priority because I’ve worked really hard to get where I am. You as a friend have watched my struggle. My family and friends know how much I’ve slogged. I won’t give it up for anything.
Q: So career wins over love?
A: There’s no comparison between the two. When I’m working, I’m working. And when I’m with him (Saif), I’m all there. Besides, Saif is a superstar himself. He’s so busy.
Q: How do you rate him as an actor?
A: I think he’s a 10 on 10. The way he can make audiences laugh and cry is amazing. And his one-liners are extremely entertaining. And we’re both moody. So that’s fine.
Q: How excited are you about your current assignments?
A: All my current assignments are completely different from one another. I’m so excited about working with Aamir Khan in Raj Kumar Hirani’s film. Idiots is a comedy with a social message.

Gomaal Returns — Trailer Review

Last year was full of comedy flicks that ruled the box office . The long line up included Welcome , Partner , Heyy Babyy , Bhul Bhulaiya ,Dhamaal , Bheja Fry etc . All of them were box office success and everyone started believing that Comedy films are the roads to success . On the contrary this year very few comedies got released and the few that got released suffered at the box office . This year films like Sunday , One Two Three , Mr. Black Mr. White , DeTaali , Ugly aur Pugly and Maan Gaye Mughal-e-azam released that were all rejected by both audience and critics . All of these films didn’t have neither the script nor the star power . The only comedy film that worked this year is Singh isKinng . In fact it is the biggest box-office success of the year . Well , trying to break the streak of bad comedies this year comes a sequel to a big comedy hit ,Golmaal , with the entire team along with some new faces .

The first trailer of Golmaal Returns is out now and from the looks of trailer it seems that a potential comedy hit is on its way . This time though the Golmaal series gets a little more star studded with Kareena joining in the group along with the other girls like Celina , Amrita Arora and Anjana Sukhani . So this time every guy has his own girl to woo . One guy has also changed , Sharman has been replaced by Shreyas Talpade .

Talking of the trailer , it starts off with some flashback scenes of Golmaal . While these scenes are played a line comes on screen which says that all the fun and madness of Golmaal will return this Diwali along with the fools . After this we see Tushar in his typical voice communicating on a Phone . Then comes the introduction scene of Ajay standing on two Hummers this time instead of two bikes . After Ajay comes Kareena riding on a Honda Motorbike in her new born sexy avatar . After the two stars the rest of the group is introduced one by one doing their respective stunts , Arshad along with Amrita , Shreyas along with Celina and Anjana along with Tushar . Then the whole group is shown dancing to the new Golmaal song which also sounds quite groovy like the original one did . While the whole track is been played in background some more shots of all the leads are shown which keep showing them doing some stunts and comedy . Some of those scenes are quite funny and some them being quite old . There’s a scene that shows a Goa Police Van which means that this one is set up in Goa . The entire trailer majorly focuses on the title track with some of the scenes from the movie inserted in between . The scenes made me believe that there would be all kinds of Jokes in this one . Some very old jokes and some quite new . All the stupidity and Gay Jokes along with some age old Sex comedy would be present there . Then at last come a few mindless action scenes that are always part of a Rohit Shetty film . He has a fascination for toppling cars , he did this in both of his films whether its Golmaal or Sunday . Then at last comes a line that says “Have a Blast This Diwali” .

Lets hope that we do have a blast while watching this film and this one turns out to be as good as the original . Expectations arequite high since Golmaal was big hit and that one was loved even by the critics . That film had situational comedy and the script in itself was quite strong . I just hope they don’t create situations in this one and the scripts has them inherently . The whole chemistry between the actors islooking great but chemistry would do no good if the script isn’t funny . This one though doesn’t have Sharman who is basically very good at comedy and his absence would definitely damage the film a bit . He is replaced by Shreyas who is also a great actor but he would look good only if the character has been written well . His behaviour and acting isn’t that funny so he needs a very well written character so that he can portray it well . His character inOSO was a strong one and he delivered it accordingly .Lets hope he fits in the boots of Sharman exactly like him . Kareena can also do comedy and her character is that of Saas-Bahu daily soap lover . She might turn out to be the funniest character in the film .

Talking of Director , Rohit Shetty , I hope he doesn’t do what he did in Sunday . He should stop stuffing in mindless action that is not required in the script . This film would be a real test for him since his last film Sunday failed at the box office . Ajay also hasn’t had the best year withHalla Bol and Sunday not doing well and his Directional debut U , Me or Hum also doing so so . The year has also been bad for Kareena with her Tashan not impressing anyone .

In all , the trailer looks good with usual funny scenes from the film and a very good sounding song in the background . The film is all set to release on October 29 on the Diwali’s Eve . Check out the trailer (courtesyYoutube , not uploaded by me ) :

Drona --- Trailer Review

The second Superhero to hit the Bollywood scene , Drona , is all set to please the audience after the very successful Krrish . The first trailer of the film , which has been into making since a long time , is out now and the rushes look just usual . The film has been Directed by Goldie Behl who is husband of Sonali Bendre and this is his biggest project . The film starrs Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra in the lead . Priyanka probably has a thing for superheroes and she would be the only common thing between them . I hope we get to see a combined version of Krrish Vs. Drona fighting it out for Piggy Chops (Priyanka Chopra) . lol .

Anyways the trailer starts off with a Blue Petal flying into the windows of some apartment (poor graphics there , in terms of international standards) and then there is a dark locality shown which continues in the trailer for some time . Then we get to see Abhishek getting trapped between some Demons made of sand and a line like this goes - " When the survival of mankind will hang in the balance one man will rise and realise his destiny " . There is also a dark look of the Bad Guy which is played by Kay Kay in the starting of the trailer . Then at the end of the trailer we get to see the real Drona in his outfit riding on a horse . The already fat Abhishek looks even more fat with the strangely made costume . This is supposed to be a Indian Superhero so probably he won't wear the Nylon Skin-tight Suit . Instead he will wear a loose and fat looking Cotton Costume . Abhishek also carries a Sword which has some inscriptions on it and the sword is very much similar to the sword that his Dad AB Senior holds in the trailer of Talisman (CGI loaded next film of Amitabh based on Chandrakanta) .
Then at last the name of the film comes "Drona" in a golden colour font which is similar to the Font that was used in the title of Rangeela , the only difference being the colour . You might wonder what difference does the font make , but guys it does create an impression . The name of Krrish was presented in a never used before Font on screen and it looked great . Even the first Teaser of Krrish gave me Goosebumps to a little extent in the theater , this one didn't even excite me visually .

Krrish didn't work because of the special effects but it worked on the story and direction . This is one thing that Rakesh Roshan realised as a wise Director that he cannot spend a huge sum on VFX so he worked hard on the Story and background score . The background score that features in this trailer is very much Spiderman Superman type just with strange sounding Hindi lyrics . The background score that was used in this trailer was not at all good if you ask me . The Visual Effects also didn't please me that were present in this trailer . The sand creatures have been already shown on-screen with utmost perfection in Mummy Returns and Spiderman 3. The effects that are used here are of much lower level than what was used in the hollywood flicks . So why use same sequences that require top notch VFX that any Indian film can't afford and can't produce on its own ? Do something original and which is within the reach of Indian Special effects company .

Overall , The trailer didn't excite me at all and neither did Abhishek's look . The trailer isn't sufficient to create the interest amongst the audience , they might need something more . I hope the story and Direction are better than the first trailer of the film . The film set to release on October 2 .

'DRONA' IS A CHILDHOOD DREAM

Goldie Behl, the director of 'Drona' is very excited about his forthcoming production that showcases Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan in a role that has never been seen before. For this movie, Abhi has taken rigorously training in numerous action sequences from Shyam Kaushal (India) and Tom Delmar (overseas). Incidentally, these actions include adventurous games and sports like scuba diving, horse riding, free running, sword fighting, chao, kalari and ghatka. Regarding the other salient feature of his film he speaks about Kay Kay (Menon), who plays a negative character. He is confident that KK's unpredictable performance will lead him back to experimental theatre. 'Drona' is set in a fantasy world as it has been a childhood fantasy for both - Abhishek and Goldie!


When asked about the philosophy behind his movie, Goldie says that its character has a special purpose, which all of us are born with. Few of us realise it and few don't. It is the story of one such person who realises that he is special. His journey of realization is told in a larger-than-life story, Goldie adds. Goldie has had a lot of support from his family in the making of the film. Sister Shrishti Behl and mother Madhu have stood with him right from the film's conceptualisation. So has Sonali Behl, Goldie's wife. While Sameer Arya, Shrishti's husband and also movie's cinematographer, has lent great support, Sonali has been the bouncing board for his script, Goldie says with proud.
