Sivaji - The Boss in Hindi - Gone a Watch It-For Sure

With Tamil cinema super star Rajnikanth's latest blockbuster 'Sivaji -- The Boss' still running to packed houses in some pockets outside south India, the producers of the film have decided to dub it in Hindi and are planning a post-Diwali release.

'Sivaji -- The Boss' will be dubbed in Hindi as the response for the film in Delhi, Mumbai and other major cities outside South India has been overwhelming," said S C Babu, CEO of AVM Productions.

"Some portions of the film will be....



re-shot to cater to the Hindi-speaking audience and Rajnikanth will dedicate three to four days in shooting," Babu told.

Asked whether Rajnikanth will dub his voice in Hindi, said, "indications are that he is unlikely to do the dubbing."

However, the length of the film will be reduced to two and half hours from the existing three-hour duration as most of the Bollywood films do not exceed the time limit of 150 minutes.

Even though some of Rajnikanth's films were screened outside Tamil Nadu earlier, "Sivaji -- The Boss" got a rousing response from people who thronged theatres in major cities such as Delhi and Mumbai.

"'Sivaji -- The Boss' has proved that language is not a barrier when it is Rajnikanth," Babu said.

Swanand Kirkire is penning the dialogues for the dubbed version and is likely to finish his work by October.

"But we are planning a post-Diwali release. We don't want to release a dubbed version during the festive season," he said.

Chake De India - Shah Rukh Khan the coach of a women's hockey team was like revisiting his past.

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan is hugely excited about Shimit Amin's "Chak De India" and says playing the coach of a women's hockey team was like revisiting his past.

The film, slated to hit screens Aug 10, is his first release of the year.

Talking about his role King Khan told: "I feel hockey as a sport has been monstrously neglected in our country. I used to play the game during college. In fact, I was quite a good hockey player. So the role was a lot like going back to my past."

Shah Rukh says he had a whole lot of fun doing a sports film.

"We had real Australian female hockey players playing for the film in Australia. And it was truly ....

Casting of Chake De India along with the Photos are as follows: -

amazing watching them go through their paces. They were thorough professionals."



The Coach: Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan )

Once the hero of Indian Hockey, the best Centre forward in the world, the man a nation found a hero in. And the man it sentenced to hell.Now he has decided to make a last comeback to the game he once loved, to reclaim his lost honour and prove his point to the nation he still loves.

By doing the impossible. Making a rag-tag bunch of loser girls a team. And the World Champions.

The Girls

Jersey No.9 - Preeti Sabarwal

Preeti went to Sanawar, but on her way to Harvard from there, took a sharp left towards the Punjab University and its hockey team for reasons best known to her. Chandigarh captain, she looks like Princess Leia and plays like the terminator, the only one she's close to is her iPod. Would you then blame the rest of her mostly rural team-mates for calling her mem? She has a secret, but then, that's a secret.

Jersey No.8 - Komal Chautala

The Rohtak Express, also known as chhokra in her village for her tomboyishness, and as chhipkali in her team for her devious dribbling. Born to tough Jats, she has just one regret - that she wasn't born a boy. But she's doing all she can to make up, including not using make-up. Ever

Jersey No.5 - Bindia Naik

Experience corrupts, and too much experience corrupts completely. A veteran of field positions, federation politics and award manipulations, she could make any team's dirty tricks department proud, if she wasn't the department herself in real life

Jersey No.18 - Vidya Sharma

Just married. And it already looks like she will have to divorce hockey. She knows this is probably her last tournament but can she give up hockey for marriage?

Jersey No.10 - Gul Iqbal

Hockey legend Zafar Iqbal's grand-daughter. Her family's history is Indian Hockey's history. And nobody ever lets her forget that. Whether she wants it or not.

Jersey No.6 - Molly Zimik And Jersey No.15 - Mary Ralte

They are clubbed as one because that's how they eat, live and behave. Their school books taught them that they are Indians but Indians taught them otherwise. The only reason they play for the national team is that it is the only national team they can play for. They'd love to belong, but not to the team that calls them 'foreign', and definitely not to the people that call them 'loose'. So they stick together and play.For the love of the game, and the honour of their people

Movie Review: Jodhaa Akbar casting Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa

Wednesday, May 23, 2007



Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar is the untold love story of the greatest Mughal emperor who ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and a fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa.

Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with the Hindu King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter’s hand to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar. When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Rajput, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey – the journey of true love?



From the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great (‘Akbar’ in Arabic means great), to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the impressive graph of the emperor and his romance with a defiant princess.

With Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa, this grand spectacle is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Ashutosh Gowariker.

Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean 3 At World's End along with Wall Papers

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End



Wide Release: Friday May 25, 2007
Director: Gore Verbinski




Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker, while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final, titanic battle, as not only their lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the freedom-loving Pirate way, hangs in the balance.

Courtesy: - POFC @ Release Guide



The first Pirates of the Caribbean film was a bit of a surprising success. Budgeted at $140 million, the movie started out slow with a moderate $46 million opening weekend, but eventually went on to gross just over $305 million and even earned Johnny Depp an Oscar nomination for his outlandish portrayal of captain Jack Sparrow. The sequel was a surprise as well in the sense that no one expected it to shatter box-office records the way it did. The $225 million production had the highest grossing opening weekend in history when it managed to reap in $135 million domestically. It has since exceeded $420 million in total box-office receipts in the US and has surpassed the $1 billion mark in total ticket sales around the world. Currently, it is ranked third all time worldwide behind Titanic and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It’s no surprise then that Disney has allotted $200 million for the third and final part in the trilogy and has announced plans to release it on the same day around the entire globe instead of letting it trickle through to various markets gradually.



You can expect that the third part will be entirely drowned in the same crude humor, stunning locations, and dazzling special effects that made the first two so spectacularly successful. The filmmakers should be able to surpass the box-office numbers of Dead Man’s Chest especially given the four-day weekend that occurs thanks to the Memorial Day holiday, but they are unlikely to replicate the quality of the very first entry. The drop-off in ingenuity from the first part to the second may affect the performance of At Worlds End just slightly, however. Either way, the Pirates of the Caribbean series has now become a mega-franchise and Disney is not calling it quits just yet. The third part will definitely close out the storyline in the trilogy, but there are already rumors that the producers are planning to make a fourth installment. Other rumors suggested that in order to save some money, Disney wants to cut Orlando Bloom from any such future endeavors. Said rumors were already denied somewhat halfheartedly in an official statement. Still, things look very promising for Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, even if the freshness of the series is mostly gone.

Rajpal Yadav's Under Trial - UnderTrial Movie Review

Wednesday, May 2, 2007


The film revolves around Saagar Hussain (Rajpal Yadav) who is an undertrial prisoner at the Central Jail। He is accused by his own wife for continuously raping his own daughters across a period of 8 years and also conspiring to murder them। The last eye witness to testify against Saagar is his own wife Sameena (Monica Castelino) who wants to ensure that Saagar gets the worst punishment available। What looked like an “open and shut” case turns take a twist when famous lawyer Ravi Vishnoi(Kader Khan) decides to fight Saagars case। What unravels next is a deep conspiracy revealing itself layer after layer. Is Saagar Hussain guilty or innocent? Is he a man or a monster?


Given the movie was inspired by a “true” story one would’ve expected something with a lot of substance from the makers, however sadly this is not the case. I guess the keyword to note here is “inspired” which means the makers have taken bits of fact and merged it with their own fiction. The first half of the movie shows Saagar in his everyday jail life as he waits for his case to go to court. The sequences of events here are boring and prove no actual purpose in the movie. Some of the scenes seem forced to evoke comedy which seems juvenile in a film of this nature. In between there are some superb moments, mainly the interactions between Saagar Hussain and his inmate (Mukesh Tiwari). Also the few flashbacks which unravel Saagars past have been captured well. The actual movie doesn’t start from the second half when Kader Khan enters the scene as Saagars lawyer.





The momentum and एक्ष्कितेment does pick up as the “truth” is revealed about Saagar Hussain, his wife and his daughters .

The court case is exciting enough for 30 minutes or so, however after a while that too loses momentum and becomes monotonous। Some of the scenes seem greatly exaggerated and totally over-the-top, while others just downright boring। The climax sequence with the murder being captured on the cell phone is hard to digest at all
