Aamir Khan Explains Comments Against Black and Mr Bachchan 2007-11-29 10:44:03 We recommend Aamir
Khan’s blog to everyone as the actor is honest to the bone in his writing something which is a rarity in Bollywood. In his recent blog post, Aamir Khan
explains why he wasn't impressed with Black
and how he didn’t mean to belittle Amitabh Bachchan
.On my comments on BLACK, let me start by commenting that I have the highest regard for Mr Bachchan and I am very big fan of his work. Probably one of the biggest. I believe that he along with Mr Dilip Kumar are among my two favourite actors of Indian Cimema. I have no hesitation in saying that I don''t even feature on the same platform as an actor. He is also in my opinion THE biggest star that Indian Cinema has ever seen. However as any member of the audience I too have a right to my opinion. And let me also clarify that my observations were towards the film and the way it was handled not towards any of the actors. I am very aware that the key of every performance is very much determined by the dire Read more:Comments

The Incredible Farah Khan Part 2 2007-12-06 03:01:39 Here is the second part of the interview as promised. Those who missed Part 1 just check below. THE TURNING point in Farah
Khan’s life — aptly enough — was the film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Taken on as assistant director by Nasser Hussain, she suddenly found herself asked to play choreographer when her predecessor, Saroj Khan stomped out. She crafted the song Pehla Nasha. It was the birth of a new aesthetic. Since then, Khan has choreographed almost a 100 films. Untrained, fed only by intuition, she changed all the rules. Gone were the squeamish, selfashamed bodies, the vulgar suggestions, the undulations of rolling fat. 1942, A Love Story. Dil Se. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Dil Chahta Hai. Monsoon Wedding: almost single-handedly, Khan made Bollywood dancing cool, clubby, hip, international. Yet, unmistakably Indian. “I also raised the pay,” says Khan, “I don’t get enough credit for that. When I started, dancers Read more:Incredible
The Incredible Farah Khan Part 1 2007-12-05 03:04:15 Director Farah
Khan is an affectionate defender of 1970s cinema. In a curious twist, her life story is the very epitome of the masala films she loves, finds SHOMA CHAUDHURY from TEHELKA This is part 1 of the interview and expect part 2 tomorrow. DON’T MAKE me a tragic story, Farah Khan, 42, warns at the end of a long conversation in her plush sea-facing apartment in Versova, Mumbai. The etting sun bleached by an expanse of darkened windows is burning a path of white gold across the still water. The bounce of its last light has recast the city’s dreary skyline in a platinum glow. The world is full of shimmering possibility. It’s difficult to imagine anything tragic about the brisk, cheerful woman lying in this setting, tracing the contours of a large belly. Khan is expecting triplets in February and her film Om Shanti Om has been declared a super superhit. (Most films in Bollywood are declared that — usually by the makers themselves — so that’s no Read more:Incredible

NY Times Review of Aaja Nachle 2007-12-01 12:53:18 We already know how the desi critics feel about Aaja Nachle and lets see what’s the reaction abroad. Rachel Saltz from NY Times
reviews the film and looks like she is in agreement with her desi counterparts.Denver’s an odd place for a Bollywood goddess, but that’s where Madhuri Dixit, India’s biggest female star of the 1990s, has been leading a Clark Kent-type life, married and raising children. Ms. Dixit has been gone from the screen for five years, long enough for a new crop of stars to emerge and for “Aaja Nachle,” her modest new film, to be a comeback vehicle.
Aaja Nachle Film Review 2007-12-01 12:32:22 Aaja Nachle came, saw and tanked! The movie has been panned by the critics and given thumbs down by the audience. Considering this was Madhuri Dixit’s comeback film, the film failed to meet the audience expectations and the only saving grace was MD. Here is a review from TOI who shred the film apart. As for Madhuri, she still got, not that we doubted that for a second.Review:THE dhak-dhak diva returns, alas, minus the dhak-dhak . Surely, this was hardly a comeback vehicle for Bollywood's biggest female star, who once posed a challenge at the hustings to all the male superstars. Maybe, Madhuri thought this was `decent' enough, befitting her new status as suburban wife and mother. But for the viewers, it's an ekdum thanda reprisal of her screen career, minus all passion, romance and the adrenalin-thump that was almost always associated with her.

in the Best Supporting Actor category.Speaking from New York, Irrfan could barely contain his surprise. “Mira Nair got the Gotham Award and I was there to watch this historic moment. Barely 24 hours later comes this announcement about me. The Spirit Awards to me is every bit as prestigious as the Oscars. But unlike the Oscars, they are totally independent and based entirely on merit rather than lobbying. I’m honoured to be alongside Don Cheadle, Frank Langella and Philip Seymour Hoffman (all nominated in the Best Actor category).”Philip is Irrfan’s favourite actor. They met after the Gotham Awards at a party on Monday. “His versatility has always taken my breath away. He started with just two scenes in Scent Of A Woman . Somewhere I identify with him. When I met him, it was a dream come true,” said Irrfan.Uma Thurman, too, interacted with Irrfan at a lunch hosted by th Read more:Nomination
