Salman-Aishwarya face off!

Finally the face off has happened. According to tabloid reports, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan came face to face at a Mumbai studio in the recent past.

While Salman was shooting for Veer, Aishwarya was busy with Guzaarish in another part of the studio. Sources say Salman stepped out from his car and was happily talking on the phone till he spotted Ash getting out of her van.

Apparently both froze and looked into each other’s eye for a moment. Aishwarya immediately went back into her van, but Salman’s discomfort was for visible.

It seems Khan was so upset that he even contemplated cancelling the shoot. Save for his dialogues, Salman didn’t utter a single word after spotting Ash. With Katrina Kaif also getting hospitalised, we really wonder how Salman is coping with so much stress?

‘Om Shanti’ all set to release on January 13

In this urbane lifestyle where everything moves very fast and competition is everywhere, each person has his/her own mind-set and nature. In a contemporary society, the dynamics when five people with different mind-set join forces after an incident has to be very volatile.

What is this incident that occurred in their lives to change it forever is what remains to be seen on the screen in ‘Om Shanti’ a film directed by Prakash. The film features Kajal, Navadeep, Nikhil, Aditi Sarma and Bindu Madhavi in the lead roles. Seshu Priyanka Chalasani is producing the film.

Director Prakash says, “There will be five stories, five lives but one truth. What is the truth, has to be seen on the screen. My story impressed producer Aswanidutt, so he gave me an opportunity to mould it on celluloid. The tunes scored by Ilaiyaraaja would be an asset and highlight of the film. We are making efforts to release the film on January 13.”

Vishal in risky stunts

Hero vishal has been working hard for his film to make it hit. He shared his thoughts with the media persons that he is analysing the audiences reaction for his films and doing things good. He has taken up with a breathtaking stunt sequence in his new flick. Yuvan Shankar Raja has composed the music for this film.

Let us hope that vishal will have a big success for his film and it will be a break through for him.

My Name Is Khan is the best: Shahrukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has belted out many blockbusters but he claimed that the best of him is yet to come. He thinks that his upcoming release My Name Is Khan is his best film ever.Shahrukh said at the unveiling of My Name Is Khan’s first look that it is the nicest love story he has ever worked in. He added that the film is the physical and emotional journey that the two characters Rizwan (himself) and Mandira (Kajol) go through to find love.

It has been reported that the film deals with terrorism and explores the sudden change in the lives of the protagonists but Shahrukh chose to differ. He said that it is not about terrorism but about love, hope, humanity, sacrifice and positivity. He added that it has nothing to do with religion.He is all praise for his friend and filmmaker Karan Johar. He said that Karan is an intense director with great sense of humour, who allowed him to improve his performance through mistakes. He added that Kajol, Karan and he don’t have to say things to each other, as they are thorough professional who understands each other completely.

Shahrukh plays an autistic man mistaken for a terrorist in My Name Is Khan. It brings together the incredible screen pair Shahrukh and Kajol after eight long years. The makers of the film are planning to release it on February 12, 2010..

Nayantara flexible for friends

It is not known how long stardom would remain as heroines in the film industry. The present generation heroines are following the popular maxim ‘Make the hay while the sun shines’ and cashing in on every opportunity that comes in their way. They are keeping themselves busy in one language or the other.

Nayantara is the best example for this. She earned a good craze both in Telugu and Tamil languages. Though she is playing heroine on one hand, she is also giving green signal for item numbers. Sometime ago, she did an item number for Sivaji. Again she played in Kuselan. Presently she is playing one among the three heroines in Simha opposite Balakrishna. She is not rigid that she would do only heroine’s roles but she remained flexible for the sake of her friends and well-wishers in the film industry and changing her rules accordingly.

Avatar Movie Review

A V A T A R
Director : James Cameron
Music Director : James Horner
Producer : James Cameron, Jon Landau
Starring : Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez and others
Cinematography : Mauro Fiore

Performance:

Sam Worthington: Sam Worthington is pretty much perfect for the part he plays. He narrates a good part of the movie and has a voice with a bit of an attitude — yet still calming — that was needed to fit the bill.

Stephen Lang: who plays the tough-as-nails Colonel Miles Quaritch. If I were to picture in my mind the type of person who should have played Colonel Quaritch, it would be Stephen Lang.
Giovanni Ribisi: I found Giovanni Ribisi to be an odd choice to play the corporate weasel heading up the project. He just seemed a bit young for the part.

Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriguez all did a fine job but none of them were called upon to go over and above what you might expect from them. I had totally forgot CCH Pounder was in the cast and when I saw her name in the final credits, I still couldn’t picture her in the movie. I’ll have to look out for that the next time I see it.

Drawbacks:
There are some minor quibbles to be had here, especially in the film's opening moments as characters are laying out the premise. A voiceover might have worked better than awkward dialogue. And a Na'vi group prayer-chant thing veers too close to feeling like a bad "Matrix" moment.
Analysis:

Writing negative movie reviews is easy. Writing positive movie reviews is hard. Which means writing a review of "Avatar" is going to be really, really hard. Because James Cameron's alien world epic "Avatar" may well be the future of movies, it might change everything and it sure as heck raises the bar by at least 10 feet.

It is a dazzling spectacle that makes virtually all other special-effects blockbusters seem like awkward toddlers. In imagination, vision and execution suddenly every other action film looks like it was drawn with crayons.

Beyond that, though, it's also a rock-solid space yarn, revisiting themes -- man vs. nature, our self-destructive instincts, corporate malfeasance -- that Cameron explored in his sci-fi classics "The Terminator," "Aliens" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."

Dev's Verdict:

As I just mentioned, the story is decent, but it wasn’t exceptional. The characters are okay but besides Sam Worthington’s Sully, no one was very remarkable. Where this movie is head and shoulders above anything I have ever seen is in the special effects and in the imagination that it took to put it all together. For that, I have to tip my hat to James Cameron and friends. They really did some remarkable work on this film that should impress millions of movie fans around the world.

"It is an outstanding movie to watch and well worth the price of admission"
Verdict: Avatar is truly a master piece of filmmaking, a step ahead in visual effects that sets new standards. A must-watch film.
