Why Khans are so fond of Esha Deol...

Esha Deol has always been a friend of the Khan family, Feroz Khan’s family that is. Fardeen calls her his best male buddy; given their rapport with each other while she was once upon a time romantically linked with cousin Zayed. Feroz Khan himself is very fond of the girl and Esha would drop in at the FK house in Juhu even if the boys weren’t around to catch up with her Feroz Uncle. So it wasn’t surprising to see Esha making regular rounds of the hospital when Feroz Khan was recently hospitalized. But unlike other celebrities making a scene out of hospital visits, we are told Esha would be very subdued and would make a quiet entry into the hospital and spend time with Feroz Khan doing her best to avoid drawing attention to her in the hospital. Knowing Feroz Khan being a scrabble fan, she would be playing word games with him to keep him in good spirits in his troubled times. One evening she was even seen carrying a dabba of home made food for him and basically taking good care of his like his own kin. That’s quite touching, we think.

Mugdha's first day in Jail goes horribly wrong

Madhur Bhandakar’s latest venture finally made a take off yesterday, 12th March, 2009, which unfortunately turned a bit unpleasant on day 1 of the shoot. It so happened that Neil Nitin and Mugdha kicked off with the first day shoot for Jail in Bandra. The scene had to be an intimate one in a stationary car when the scene required Mugdha to put her head on Neil’s head. Since it was a long shot Madhur and his crew was quite far away from the car. At that point of time, a group of youngsters saw Mugdha and started whistling and singing songs from Fashion and stuffs. They also passed a few comments on the actors. Neil at the spur of the moment realized that the group was very coming quite close to the car and took his call that time. He drove the car off to Bandra Reclamation side which was much secluded and where they did not get much of public attention. However they returned to the same spot and continued with their shoot, a little careful this time. They completed the shot successfully later on. Mugdha did say that she had not shot on the streets of Mumbai during Fashion, so she had no idea that even these things could happen. Madhur hopes he gets a peaceful day tomorrow. With Jail kick starting with ‘not-so-pleasant-day’, we hope Madhur and his troop get better and ‘peaceful’ moments in the days to come and wish his Jail succeeds like all his other films.

Gulaal - Movie Review

Starring: Kay Kay Menon, introducing Raj Singh Chaudhary, Jesse Randhawa, Deepak Dobriyal, Aditya Srivastava, Ayesha Mohan, Piyush Mishra and Abhimanyu Singh Director: Anurag Kashyap Rating: **** Set in the fictional Rajpur town of modern-day Rajasthan, Gulaal is entangled with stories of student politics, a covertly taking shape local rebellion for an independent Rajputana stare and love taking it forward. The meek, Dileep Singh (Raj Singh Chaudhary), is an idealistic man who gets caught in the whirlpool of student politics and much more, as he gets sucked into the world of Rananjay (Abhimanyu Singh), Dukkey Bana (Kay Kay), an autocratic local Rajput leader who is leading a planned armed movement to reclaim Rajputana for Rajputs, a brother-sister couple (Aditya and Ayesha), the illegitimate children of an erstwhile Rajput king who are seething at their bastard status (Aditya Srivastava, Ayesha Mohan) and Anuja (Jesse), a young teacher who becomes a social misfit in college after a particular incident inflicted upon her by college hooligans. Dilip gets used as a pawn by people who matter to him and ends up being an unwilling player in a sinister plot. What it all leads to forms the rest of the film. Bollywood gets yet another talented actor in Raj Singh Chaudhari who is also the co-writer of the film. In a film packed with great acting talents, Raj stands out with his convincing act. Kay Kay Menon as always is simply superb. Another show stealer is Deepak Dobriyal who plays his loyal assistant in the film. He speaks volumes just with his expressions without speaking much. Mahie Gill as the mujra girl cum beauty parlour owner is stunning and has tremendous screen presence. Aditya Srivastava and Ayesha Mohan are good as well. Piyush Mishra is terrific as Kay Kay’s brother and has the film’s best lines. Gulaal was claimed as Anurag Kashyap’s angriest film and it indeed is. It explores the dynamics of royalty vis-à-vis the democratic system. Sectionalism today has set everywhere in a big way and the film is the true reflection of where our nation stands today. Though been in the making for more than four years now, never once the film gives a dated feeling. The credit for which also goes to cinematographer Rajeev Ravi. Kashyap’s dialogues that are replete with sarcastic one-liners, beautiful poetries and philosophies and also the referential meanings are amongst the finest seen on screen for a long long time in Bollywood. Piyush Mishra apart from acting superbly also scores full marks for his hard hitting lyrics and beautiful music that is mix of many interesting things such as sarcasm, peppiness, and sensibility. It is the film’s lyrics and music that make the film a completely an extraordinary experience. Gulaal is something that is extremely relatable, especially for today’s youth. Though at a running time of over two and a half hours, there are times when the film tends to appear dragging, it is worth a watch. The film though has Anurag’s now trademark abstractness at times, it is not as incomprehensible as it was in No Smoking or in Dev.D. Go watch Gulaal.
