Fashion (2008) - The dark side of the fashion industry - directed by Madhur Bhandarkar

Madhur Bhandarkar is famous for making films on hard gritty subjects and not shying away from portraying the reality (including the ugly side) of things. Some of these movies include Chandni Bar, Page 3, Traffic Signal, etc. Madhur also won a national award for the direction of Traffic Signal. In addition, while his movies may not be super-hits, they make money, and for movies that are about the ills of society, making money is a big plus. Also, because his movies are seen as good cinema, actors and actresses can develop a great reputation by acting in his movies. Fashion is one such movie, that gave a filip to the careers of actors such as Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and newcomer Mugdha Godse. Priyanka Chopra in fact has got a very good reputation after this movie, something which also got enhanced after her role in another movie, 7 Khoon Maaf. In fact, Priyanka also got a National Award for Best Actress for her role in this movie.
The movie also bears an uncanny resemblance to the story of Geetanjali Nagpal, the former model who was found in a pretty bad condition on the streets of Delhi in the year 2007; however, Madhur has denied that Fashion was based on the story of Geetanjali. The story of the movie was by Ajay Monga, with narration by Priyanka Chopra. Music for the movie, with some acclaimed songs such as 'Fashion ka Jalwa' and 'Mar Jawan' was by Salim-Sulaiman, with lyrics by Sandeep Nath and Irfan Siddique. The movie was fairly successful, and won a host of awards at such events such as Filmfare Awards, Star Screen Awards, IIFA, and Stardust Awards.

The movie is the story of the ups and downs in the fashion industry, especially when success goes to somebody's head. The story is that of a girl, Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) who wants to be big in the fashion industry in Mumbai and leaves her house against the wishes of her parents since she wants to follow this career. However, life is not so easy, and success does not come easily. And of course there are other models who are on top, such as the current reigning super-model Shonali Gujral (Kangana Ranaut). However, after some efforts, and being tutored by her friend and another struggling model Janet (Mugdha Godse) as well as a struggling make model Maanav (Arjan Bajwa), she finally gets lucky and is noticed by one of the executives (Anisha Roy (played by Kitu Gidwani)) of a big modeling agency Panache. Anisha in turn introduces her to her boss Abhijit Sarin (Arbaaz Khan). Abhijit is impressed by her, and since Shonali is struggling with her drug problem, he decides to replace Shonali with Megha, part of the downfall process for Shonali.
Megha is now successful, which means that she gives up her relationship with Maanav, and starts having a relationship with Abhijit, even though he is a married man. Their relationship proceeds, till she gets pregnant and is pressured to abort her child; something which causes her to break the news to Abhijit's wife, causing her to get fired from her peak position and further fall in the clutches of drugs and alcohol (a path that Shonali is already following, increased after she had a wardrobe mal-function). When Megha has a one-night stand after a party where she has got drunk, she realizes how much she has fallen, and decides to leave the industry and return to her parents in Chandigarh.
However, this is not the end. Her parents encourage her to get back to her life, also as a way of getting back her self-confidence, and she decides to make up with Janet and gets back to Mumbai, however, no longer the top model. Things shake her when she sees Shonali on TV as a homeless drunk, and she brings Shonali back in order to make her better again, a process which also acts as a healing ritual for her. Even though she is not able to save Shonali, Megha gets back her confidence to again become a top model.

Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974) starring Manoj Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, and Zeenat Aman

The struggle to remain good and maintain high morals when facing adverse situations in life can be a hard struggle; after all, there are a number of movies depicting how a criminal rose up in life because of poverty are a large number. Manoj Kumar has made a number of movies on the concept of patriotism, or on the struggle in life between the good and the bad, with this movie being an integral part of his collection. The name 'Roti Kapda aur Makaan' delineates this struggle, with the words literally translating into the following - Food, Clothes and House (Shelter), depicting the necessities of life.
The movie was a very successful movie, having struck a chord in the audience about the struggle to make ends meet and the moral problems that get associated with such struggles, becoming the most successful movie of 1974. The movie was made (produced and directed) by Manoj Kumar, and like many of his other movies, was a multi-starrer, starring Shashi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman, Amitabh Bachchan, Moushmi Chatterjee, besides Manoj Kumar in the lead role.
Some of the songs of the movie were very successful, such as "Hay Hay Yeh Majboori", "Main Na Bhoolunga", etc. The music for the movie was by Laxmikant-Pyarelal (earning him a Filmfare Award Nomination, and winning the Best Lyrics award for Santosh Anand).



The movie is about the head of a family, Bharat (Manoj Kumar) who takes on the responsibility for his family after the retirement of his father. He has 2 younger brothers Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) and Deepak (Dheeraj Kumar), as well as a sister Champa, who is eligible to get married. However, he is not so successful, not able to find work despite having a good education. The only earning he has is through a job as a singer, but it does not pay that much; this makes his girlfriend Sheetal (Zeenat Aman) extremely frustrated, and she starts working as a secretary to a rich businessman Mohan Babu (Shashi Kapoor), who starts falling in love with her; she is seemingly more interested in his wealth.
Bharat in the meantime is going through more struggles; his efforts to become a builder end in failure when the Government takes over his building site and leaves him with grave financial problems. Sheetal also gets engaged to her boss, and then Bharat's father dies. Even when a suitor is found for his sister Champa, Bharat is unable to get the required amount of money for the marriage. What does Bharat do ? How does he resist the temptation to get into crime ?

Ijaazat (1987) - a great musical emotional story

Ijaazat means permission, and the name of the movie is based on the concept of the heroine having taking a drastic step without consulting with her husband, something that she would regret later. The movie is a very well regarded movie, based on alternative cinema. The movie is also very well known for its songs (shown later in this post), and is also distinctive that the movie gave a chance for Asha Bhosle to showcase her quite tremendous singing talents, since she sang the 4 main songs of the movie. These songs are all incredibly famous, and regarded as excellent songs both in terms of music and lyrics. The music of the film won 2 national awards. The movie did give a boost to the reputations of both Naseeruddin Shah and Rekha, although the commercial success of such a movie is always debatable. The movie was directed by Gulzar (also the lyrics, screenplay and dialogues), with music by RD Burman.

Ijaazat, movie made by Gulzar, with music by RD Burman and sung by Asha Bhosle, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Rekha, and Anuradha Patel

1988 - National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer: Asha Bhosle - Mera Kuch Samaan
1988 - National Film Award for Best Lyrics: Gulzar - Mera Kuch Samaan
1989 - Filmfare Best Lyricist Award: Gulzar

The movie works in mostly flashback mode. Mahinder (Naseeruddin Shah), on a stormy night, gets into a train waiting room; a lady sitting in the waiting room tries to avoid being seen, but eventually they meet. The lady is Sudha (Rekha), and when they see each other, the flashback starts. They were married to each other earlier, but that relationship broke because of the presence of another girl in Mahinder's life.
Mahinder used to love a girl called Maya (Anuradha Patel), a free living feminist. However, it was impossible for Mahinder to marry her since his grandfather (Shammi Kapoor) would never have allowed this. His grandfather had found Sudha, a school teacher, for him, and even though the engagement has stretched to 5 years, it was pretty clear that the marriage could happen anytime. This was something that Mahinder told Sudha about as well, with the understanding that Maya would never come between them. However, it seemed to Sudha that Maya had such an important part in Mahinder's life that her presence was always there.
The situation escalates, till there is a time when Sudha feels that Mahinder has deserted her for Maya and she laves without telling Mahinder. In the meantime, when Mahinder gets to know, he suffers a heart attack, with Maya taking care of him. Soon after, Maya dies when her scarf gets entangled in the wheel of the motorcycle that she was driving. In the present time, when Sudha gets to know these events, she is shocked, since it would seem to be that she had left without ascertaining the complete facts, and this had changed her life. And then her husband, Shashi Kapoor comes in, and she leaves with him, this time taking the permission (Ijaazat) of Mahinder, unlike the previous time.

aaj bhee ye koree rainaa, koree laut jaayegee

raat kee siyaahee koee, aaye to mitaye naa
aaj naa mitaayee to ye, kal bhee laut aayegee

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi: Eminently watchable

I had first read a review of the movie on Friday on a online news site, and the review was treating the movie as so-so, and with the thought that many of Shahrukh's previous movies (especially Om Shanti Om, but with the exception of Chak De which was a much better movie) have been over-acted, I was unsure about watching the movie. But come Saturday evening, I was there at the ticket counter, waiting in queue to see the movie. The hall was not fully sold out, but there were enough people to make the hall seem fairly full.
And then, 3 hours later, I walked out; what was the judgment ? Well, I liked the movie, warts and all. Granted, the movie was long, it could have been cut by atleast 45 minutes and you would have been able to still make the same story. Now, about the story, there was criticism that there is not much of a story, and that is true to a large extent - but the tagline of the movie was that there is a story behind every ordinary couple, and so it seemed in this case as well. This was a sensitive portrayal of the 3 main characters in the movie, the husband-wife pair, and the friend who would do anything for the sake of his best friend.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Vinay Pathak

The movie was directed by Aditya Chopra, and this is his third directorial effort, after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenege (1995) and Mohabbatein (2000). Mohabbatein was very long, and some of the effects of that can be seen in this movie, where he stretched the middle section of the movie quite long, and this is one of the areas that I heard the audiences after the movie also being critical. The movie stars Shahrukh Khan, introduces Anushka Sharma, and stars Vinay Pathak as the true friend Bobby Khosla (Punjabi style).
The movie is short on story (and if you don't want to spoil your surprise, stop reading at this point), but the story that is described in the movie is a feel good story, where you can identify with the characters. There is this staid and brilliant guy, Surinder Sahni, who is working with Punjab Power and leads a normal, middle class (and boring life). Once, at his former teacher's house, he sees his teacher's to-be-married daughter Taani and falls for her instantly. However, tragedy strikes, and her to-be-groom dies in an accident. Her father has a massive heart attack, and from his deathbed, he wants to see his daughter married to Surinder. She is a bright, vivacious young girl, full of life, and full of love for her lover and would be husband. And now, she is the wife of a boring man, full of grief.
He gets her home, without any pressure on her (the scenes where he hesitatingly asks her to join in the marriage celebration party is superb), and soon, she breaks the ice - she promises to be a good wife, but without any passion for him, and will break with the old life. Surinder does not want to see her like this, after all, he loves her to the extent of his life, and is willing to do anything to maker her happy. When she wants to join a dance school, he supports her, and also decides to change his style and join her at school. He is happy at small things such as when he starts getting good food, a packed tiffic, although they are still separate (he sleeps in a different room from her).
And this is where the movie changes. He becomes a totally different character Raj, without a moustache (and it is surprising that a staid guy can become such a seemingly obnoxious, flirting, and loud character, and even then, his wife cannot recognize him). So, it goes on, with him using the parlour of Vinay Pathak to do his change act. Soon, they need to start preparing for a dance festival, and by now, Taani is warming to this overly loud, but fun and vivacious guy who is so much like what she used to be, and very different from her current boring middle class wife life.
The movie meanders in this part, with Shahrukh not wanting to expose his double role to her (and there is an interesting short conversation between him and Vinay Pathak about whether this is being unfair to Taani, and Shahrukh wants to eventually see whether she will go with this new character, or stay with her boring husband, the Surinder Sahni from Tata Power). Taani finds herself more drawn to Raj, to the extent where she seeks him out, and accepts his offer to run away from there and change cities.
And then, the next morning (and I really loved both the Gurbani and the views of the Golden Temple in the movie), she sees things in a clear light. Her guiding principle (as influenced by Raj) is to see who does she see as being close to God, and she realizes that she cannot move away from her husband. She tells Raj so just before the dance contest finals, and then sees Surinder Sahni when the time comes for them to dance. And then she sees him dancing like Raj does, and then wham .. she realizes that her husband is the one who loves her more than anything else, he was willing to change roles, shed his old boring look, do whatever it takes to get her to come out her grief, and back to the same old full of life Taani. All this is beautifully shown when she is dancing with her husband, with the looks and flashbacks to support this.
This would have been the end of the movie, but there is a small touch that seemed to get audience support - Surinder and Taani have gone to Japan for a honeymoon (which he won by wrestling with a Sumo wrestler, an improbable scene), and they shows photos from there (with her now fully in love with him, and quite comfortable in being close to him), the audience in the hall where I was watching waited for this to end, even though it was already 12 at night.

The songs by Salim-Sulaiman were impressive, with the following being the ones that moves me the most:
Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai - Separately by Roop Kumar Rathod and Shreya Ghoshal
Haule Haule - Sukhwinder Singh
Dance Pe Chance - Sunidhi Chauhan and Labh Janjua
Besides this, the Gurbani at the Golden Temple was most beautiful.

Lyrics from the movie:

Dance pe Chance MarLe (Singer(s): SUNIDHI CHAUHAN, LABH JANHUA)

Left Leg Aage Aage, Right Leg Pichay Pichay
Aaja Yaara Lets Start Ve
Sar Kho Gumale Round, Pear Zaara Up Down

Jhuk Gaya Aasman : A delightful masala movie

Jhuk Gaya Aasman is a 1968 film directed by Lekh Tandon. The film stars Rajendra Kumar, Saira Banu, Rajendranath and Prem Chopra. Music is by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri. The film is a remake of the Hollywood film Here comes Mr. Jordan. I watched the movie the first time when I was in my school years (am not telling you how far back that was), and I found it to be a ridiculous movie, and yet I have watched it numerous times. It always seems like a great masala movie, a movie that is a total entertainer.
The movie is a bit off the beaten track; it has the familiar stories of a bad younger brother, of a romance between a beautiful outsider and a man of the hills, a devoted friend - but where this movie took the twist into a new area was the concept of dying, then finding out that you died by mistake and having to go into another body where you find that the girl you loved actually hates you; and then the innate goodness taking over and making things fine.
The movie is about this hill town guide on a jeep, Rajendra Kumar. Saira Banu shows up along with friends, and soon they fall in love with promises for later. On the way back when he has dropped her off at the airport, Rajendra Kumar has an accident and can see himself going off to heaven; where he is informed that he is the victim of mistaken identity. He was brought to heaven when it was his lookalike who should have been brought. However, his body has been burnt and he can no longer go back to what he was; he can enter the other body and live that life.
That other guy comes back to life, and of course, he was a bad guy with a worse brother who had tried to kill him and frame Saira Banu (the daughter of the family accountant) for the murder. Saira Banu hates this new version, and Rajendra Kumar sets out to make things better, repairing relations with all the people around him, and he is able to do so as well as defeat the devious younger brother.

Jhuk Gaya Aasman (1968)

The movie is not to be taken very seriously, just watch it and enjoy the entertainment. There is some spendid acting by the lead stars, with Rajendra Kumar playing his double roles to perfection, Saira Banu playing the great looking outsider and then the concerned daughter, and Prem Chopra the not-to-be-reformed villainous role of the younger brother. Rajendranath plays the devoted friend nicely, especially whenever he has to consider the part that his best friend could now be a ghost.

The movie has a few great songs, with a signature sexy bath song dance by Saira Banu

Lyrics for the movie:

Unse Mili Nazar

Unse Mili Nazar
Ki Mere Hosh Udh Gaye
Aisa Hua Asar
Ki Mere Hosh Udh Gaye

Jab Woh Mile Mujhe Paheli Baar
Unse Ho Gayi Aakhen Chaar
Paas Na Baithe Pal Bhar Woh
Phir Bhi Ho Gaya Unse Pyar
Itni Thi Bas Khabar
Ki Mere Hosh Udh Gaye

Unki Taraf Dil Jhukne Laga
Badhke Kadam Phir Rukne Laga
Apne Aap Dum Ghutne Laga
Chaye Woh Iss Kadar
Ki Mere Hosh Ud Gaye

Ghar Mere Aaya Woh Mehemaan
Dil Mein Jagaye Sau Toofan
Dekh Ke Unki Surat Ko
Hay Rah Gayi Mein Hairan
Tadpun Idhar Udhar
Ki Mere Hosh Ud Gaye

Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992)

Ranju Ban Gaya Gentleman is one of the early Shahrukh movies, made before he became the King Khan and one of the hottest property of Bollywood. The movie has a fresh feel to it, being made (director: Aziz Mirza) when there was not so much money riding on Shahrukd Khan and movies could afford to skip the current formula of hard core masala, breakneck action, and so on. The movie has a nice flow to it, with a simplistic story set mainly around ambition. One needs to remember that this was 1992, when India was still totally under the grip of socialism, and movies high-lighted naked ambition as something bad and ugly, something that could cause a person to loose their morals and their bearings.

Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992)

And so it is in this movie, where the good is represented in the purity of the chawl girl, Renu (Juhi Chawla) who is sweet, supporting, pure as opposed to the crassness portrayed by the rich girl Sapna (Amrita Singh) who has fallen for the freshness of Shahrukh Khan. However, because she is rich, she is portrayed as manipulative, willing to use her power and pull to pull Raju away from Renu and towards her. The movie also has a terrific portrayal by Nana Patekar who plays a street performer, incredibly wise.
The movie starts with Raju Mathur, a god loving young man appearing in Bombay to make his career over here as an engineer. He however is not able to contact the relative on whom he was depending (relative not present), and sleeps the night in a temple. Jai (Nana Patekar) offers him advice and support, including a place to stay. In the chwal, he meets Renu (Juhi Chawla), an assistant to the rich Chabbria (Navin Nishchol). Raju gets a job, and also gets the attention of Chabbra's rich daughter, Sapna (Amrita Singh).
She starts him on the way up, getting him better work and feeding his ambition, and at the same time, taking him away from Renu. And then he gets the responsibility for a bridge, a major project for him. However, unknown to him, his opponents conspire to replace good construction material with inferior material, and the inevitable happens. The bridge collapses, and people die. He is pointed out as the responsible person, and in the ultimate compromise, he blames the tragedy on other people, including the people in the chawl where he used to live.
However, not everything is lost. He realizes how much he has changed, and where his ambition has brought him (including losing the people whom he used to treasure and who were his true friends). And so he turns back, and essentially is shown as becoming back to what he was - not an ambition driven cold professional.

Johnny Gaddar: A delightful movie

(It is so difficult to write about a thriller movie like Johnny Gaddar without giving the story away, so if you feel that you are losing your suspense of the story, stop reading)
If you liked the Saif Ali Khan and Urmila Matondkar movie 'Ek Hasina Thi', you would like Johnny Gadar. There is an element to this movie that makes it a great thriller, including the part about there being a lot of suspense for the characters in the movie while the viewer knows everything. There are no spectacular action scenes, or expensive stunts; it's all about putting in an element of suspense in the interactions. What seems important is to have a slick story line, although the second half does stretch the story line a bit. However, it was interesting to learn that Director Sriram Raghavan did not shoot with a bound script; apparently they just had the beginning, the middle part, and the end; the rest of the script was improvised.
The director is clearly inspired from James Hadley Chase (if you have read some of the novels of Chase, it will seem apparent). There are people of all shades, but rarely do you come across a true person or a person who is all white without any shades of grey in his character. This can't be more true than in this movie, given that all the characters have strong shades of grey in their character. Somehow, the movie seems more realistic, as you realize that this is what real people are like.
The casting is decent, with some good roles by the characters of Neil Mukesh, Vinay Pathak, Zakir Hussain, Ashwini Kaleskar. Rimi Sen does a good role of the wife of Shardul (Zakir Hussain) in love with Vikram (Neil Mukesh), but absolutely terrified of her husband and what he would do if he got to know.
The movie is about a gang of people who need to collect a lot of money to avail of a get rich quick scheme, and collect Rs. 2.5 crore. Vikram, the youngest of the lot, decides to use this opportunity to loot all the cash and steals the money from Daya Shetty in a train. He also kills Daya by accident, and thus starts the quest to keep ahead of the others (who don't know who stole the money, but suspect each other). Mukesh's first kill is by accident, but after this, he slowly kills the others one by them, and very few of them really suspect him, till almost the end when they get killed. But, in the end, as in Chase's novels, the killer or thief can't really get away, and he is killed (and that too by mistake by the widow of one of the persons he killed).
The movie remains fairly taut, and the tension is apparent as things move ahead. You know who did the killing, but still wait to see as to how he gets away from the various gang members who want to find out who did the killing and then kill the thief. A slightly weak point in the movie is the character of Dharmendra, you expect the leader of such a gang to be much more villainous and be more able to smell out who the killer actually is.

Om Shanti Om: An okay masala movie

What can one say about this movie. The previous movie with the combination of Farah Khan doing the direction and Shahrukh Khan doing the production and the lead acting was 'Main Hoon Na'. While a very slick masala movie, nobody could really claim that it was an exceptional movie. And the same message was reinforced for this movie as well, with all the hype before the movie proudly claiming the fact that this will be another entertainer, a pure masala movie (no pretensions at being a social movie or an art movie of any kind).

Om Shanti Om

The movie has some good music, and the first half is pretty interesting. The whole scene is of the 70's type of setting, and I actually quite enjoyed most of this part. The impersonation of the South Indian heroes, the caricature of Manoj Kumar (in spite of the controversy, the touch was amusing). The flow of the movie was very natural, with a young sidey actor, his resourceful friend, and an over-acting mother (although it was a sheer waste of an actress of Kiron Kher's calibre). Shahrukh's acting was enjoyable, whether it be the shy person in front of a superstar whom he adores, or when his dream crashes and he realizes that she is in love with someone else.
It is when Shahrukh gets overly emotional (such as when he is trying to rescue Deepika from a fire) that you realize that you have seen this type of acting before (in almost every movie where there is violence driven from an emotional angle such as Baazigar, and other such movies). Deepika does not have any tough scenes except for the confrontation with her lover, and some of these scenes are shot from a distance and do not allow too much of evaluation of acting talent. She does look good in many of the scenes though. Was a bit disappointed with Arjun Ramphal, since for a person who cold-bloodedly kills his lover (and who is bearing his child), you don't get to feel the menace. It is only when he tells his men that she should not escape the flame that you get to feel the menace (but that is more due to the script rather than acting).
The second half is much more disappointing. Shahrukh Khan does the reincarnation act, and you immediately know that this Karz. But soon, I started feeling shades of Madhumati also involved, and that turned out to be true. The second half seemed much more disjointed, such as Shahrukh Khan's conversion from being somebody who does not believe in the previous birth thing to a person who goes to meet his mother from the previous birth was very sudden (I was thinking that I missed some part of the movie).
Originality in the second half seems missing, and one could easily figure out large sections of the movie based on the earlier movies. The song (to resemble the finale 'Ek Haseena Thi' from Karz does not compare in any way. The death of the villain is not very convincing, although Deepika's double role in this part is adequate.
Farah Khan managed to pull in a large number of special appearances in the movie:

Halka sa ek saaya hai
Teri nazaron ne dil ka Kiya jo asar
Asar yeh hua

Abb in mein hi doob ke ho jau paar

Murder: The movie that launched Mallika Sherawat and Emran Hashmi

Murder was not the debut movie for either Mallika Sherawat or Emraan Hashmi (debut movies being Khwaish for Mallika and Footpath for Imraan Hashmi), but this was the movie that gave a big boost to their film career, and also set their reputations (something that got repeated in future films). So Mallika got the reputation of being ready to do sexy roles involving hot scenes, exposure, kissing, and similar such characteristics, and Emraan got the reputation of a serial kisser. The movie was directed by Anurag Basu under the tutelage of Mahesh Bhatt, and there are signs of the Bhatt effect showing through. The movie is based on the English movie 'Unfaithful'. It does have some great songs and hummable music, and overall is a watch at least once. However if you are watching with family and are hesitant about bold scenes, then don't watch. The movie has bold scenes where required, and does not hesitate to shock in the story about a neglected wife having an affair with a former lover. The movie has music by Anu Malik, and lyrics are by Sayeed Quadri and Rahat Indori.

Murder Hindi Movie

The movie is different from the usual murder story, and also different from the run of the mill 'B' class movie that seek to titillate the viewer with hot and racy sex scenes. The movie is from a top banner, and presents the story of what happens in a family when a partner starts to feel neglected, and the difference being that the movie does not hesitate in showing some bold sex scenes. Hence, a number of scenes of adultery and betrayal of the marital bond of trust; but with a difference, the innate love between the husband and wife is enough to finally get them out of the mess that they land up in.
The movie is mostly in flashback, with the police investigating a murder of a young disc jockey Sunny (Emraan Hashmi) in Malaysia, and are interrogating people associated with him. They discover the truth about the husband and wife couple of Ashmit Sen (Sudir) and Mallika Sherawat (Simran). Simran used to love Emraan in college, but lost touch with him when he was jailed for assaulting a person over Simran. Sudhir was married to Simran's sister, but when her sister died leaving behind a baby, Simran took on the responsibility and married Sudhir, but there never seemed to be something like true love between them.
At a time when Simran is feeling very neglected and Sudhir does not seem to care, Simran meets Sunny and soon they are having a rollicking affair involving scenes of a fair amount of intimacy. Simran feels very guilty, but keeps on with the affair. Sudir soon starts to suspect something and hires a detective who finds the truth very soon. Sudhir has a confrontation with Sunny, and soon Sunny is dead. At that stage, both husband and wife start to cover for each other, and the rest of the movie is about who is the culprit.

Lage abra sa, mujhe tan tera

Jam ke barsa de, muhj par ghatayen
Too hi meri pyaas, too hi mera jaam
Kabhi mere saath, koi raat guzaar
Tujhe subah tak main karoon pyaar
vo oh oh...-4

Sansen aach teri, tan aag tera
Chhenain neend meri, loote chain mera
Kala jadoo kare lambe baal tere
Aakhen jheel teri, dore laal tere

kabhi mere saath koi raat guzaaar
tujhe suabh tak main karoon pyaar
vo oh ho.... -8

Aakhen kah rahi jo na hum kahain
use sun le too jo na lab kahain
Too na soye aaj, main na sooun aaj
Tujhe dekhooon aaj, tujh mamin khoyun aaj

Kabhi mere saath, koi raat guzaar
tujhe subah tak main karoon pyaar
vo oh ho...-4

Bheegey hont tere, pyasa dil mera
lege abra sa, mujhe tan tera

Great songs from Souten (1983)

Souten was a movie release in 1983, and starred the former super-star, Rajesh Khanna, along with Tina Munim, and Padmini Kolhapure. In addition, it starred a few others such as Satyen Kappu, Pran, Vijay Arora, Prem Chopra, Dr. Sreeram Lagoo, Roopesh Kumar, and Shashikala. The movie plays on the breakdown of the relationship between a husband (Rajesh Khanna) and wife (Tina Munim) due to the pushing of the girl's mother and uncle. She starts to believe that her husband is not worth her, and her husband starts to feel that the wife is too outward going, and discourteous to him and they begin to drift away from each other. And all this after they had a love marriage, and loved each other tremendously in the beginning.
Souten
Things start to get even worse when Rajesh Khanna is suspected to be having an affair with Padmini (who also has a child). They don't really have an affair going, but this is enough to cause suspicion. This suspicion eventually causes Padmini to kill herself, which is when Tina Munim realizes her mistake. The movie was made by Saawan Kumar Tak who used to make movies on the interplay of relations in a marriage, and had some great music by Usha Khanna. Some of the songs are very popular, although with the passage of time, they are no longer heard so much. But when they come on the radio sometime, they feel good on the ear, and bring back the memory of the golden voice of Kishore Kumar. All lyrics are by Saawan Kumar.

Shaayad Meri Shaadi

Songs from Rocky - Sanjay Dutt's first movie

Rocky was Sanjay Dutt's debut movie, a vehicle to launch the gangling young hunk, the son of 2 very famous star parents - Nargis Dutt and Sunil Dutt. The movie was directed by his father, Sunil Dutt and was released in 1981. The movie was a hit, but was a bit of a tragedy since Nargis Dutt died a few weeks before the release, and the tragedy of her death and long fight against cancer pushed Sanjay Dutt into a full-blown usage of drugs, out of which he could only emerge after his father sent him to a clinic.
The movie starred Sanjay Dutt, Reena Roy, Tina Munim, Ranjeet, Amjad Khan (in a positive role), Rakhee and Shakti Kapoor. The movie was a typical masala movie of a young man finding out that those he considered to be his parents were not actually his parents, instead he finds out that his father had been murdered and that his mother had been forced to stay away from him. The movie is about his quest to find out the truth, and to take revenge. There were some excellent songs in the movie, and music was by R.D.Burman. Lyrics were by Anand Bakshi.

Song: Woh Ajnabee (The Train - 2007)

This is a pretty nice song, with a good musical score, and some great lyrics. The movie is 'The Train', directed by a team of 2 - Co-directors Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala. The movie stars Emraan Hashmi, Sayali Bhagat, Geeta Basra and Aseem Merchant and is essentially about Emraan Hashmi, married to Sayali Bhagat and with a 5 year daughter. He meets this beautiful looking girl, Geeta Basra who is also stuck in another loveless marriage. The tagline for this movie is 'Some lines must never be crossed', and this is a movie about that, about the subject of infidelity.
There was another movie earlier about infidelity, 'Life in a Metro', it was better made and had a better storyline, but was not an attempted thriller as The Train attempts to be. When Emraan and Geeta start having an affair, Sayali starts to suspect things, and then Emraan realizes that another unknown person also knows about it and could start tormenting him. The movie is about his quest to find that person.
The music for this film is by Mithoon, and seems to have done a pretty good job. Singers for this song are Mithoon and Shilpa Rao.

Movie: Kalyug (2005)

Kalyug was a movie released in 2005 by the Bhatt family, being produced by Mahesh Bhatt & Mukesh Bhatt, and directed by Mohit Suri. The movie was a departure from the traditional movies about romance and the same, instead taking a hard look at the world of the porn industry. This is a subject that is hardly ever tackled in the Indian film industry, except for the occasional movie about a prostitute. It was a well-acclaimed movie and earned some good money as well. Even though the world of the porn industry is a complicated and hidden industry, the movie took a pretty close look, and from all accounts was able to cover the happenings in the industry to some extent.
The movie has some great music by Anu Malik, and I really liked all 4 of the songs that are listed below. The songs are very hummable. Jiya Dhadak sung by Ustad Rahet Ali Khan is a great song. The song Juda Hoke Bhi captures the angst of a man who has suffered terrible blow. So what's the movie all about ? The movie is about this Kashmiri Pandit refugee in Bombay, Kunal Khemu. He meets this beautiful and innocent girl (sent for some help by his family) Smilie Suri (looking very beautiful) and they fall for each other, and eventually get married. And that is when their lives take a turn for the worse. Their wedding night is secretly photographed, and made into a sex movie; and the police arrest them for being involved in the business of making blue movies.
Smilie is unable to take the humiliation and jumps off the building, and eventually Kunal is let off bail. He has one mission in life, to get the people responsible. He heads off to Zurich to hunt for Annie (Deepal Shaw), and once he finds her, he finds that she is as much a victim as anybody else. The people responsible are others, in this case, it is Amrita Singh in her comeback role. She is a responsible business owner, and also owns the porn ring on the side. Assisting Kunal is Emraan Hashmi in a smaller role (playing the flashy owner of a sex shop), but who helps him out a great deal. The rest of the movie is about how Kunal manages to find out the truth, and break the ring.


Tujhe dekh dekh



Aadat



Juda hoke bhi



Lyrics:

juda hoke bhi tu mujhmein kahi baaki hai
palkon mein banke aansu tu chali aati hai
juda hoke bhi

waise zinda hu zindagi bin tere main
dard hi dard baaki raha hai seene mein
saans lena bhar hi yaha jeena nahi hain
ab toh aadat si hai mujhko aaise jeene mein
juda hoke bhi tu mujhmein kahi baaki hai
palkon mein banke aansu tu chali aati hai

saath mere hain tu har pal shab ke andhere mein
paas mere hain tu ujale savere savere mein
dil se dhadkan bhula dena aasan nahi hai
ab toh aadat si hai mujhko aaise jeene mein
juda hoke bhi tu mujhmein kahi baaki hai
palkon mein banke aansu tu chali aati hai

ab toh aadat si hai mujhko aaise jeene mein
yeh jo yaadein hai - 2
sabhi kaatein hai - 2
katado inhe - 2
ab toh aadat si hai mujhko

Jiya Dhadak



Lyrics:

tujhe dekh dekh sona - 2
tujhe dekh kar hain jagna
maine yeh zindagani
sang tere bitaani
tujhmein basi hain meri jaan haai
(jiya dhadak dhadak - 3
jaayen) - 2
tujhe dekh dekh sona
tujhe dekh kar hain jagna
maine yeh zindagani
sang tere bitaani
tujhmein basi hain meri jaan haai
jiya dhadak dhadak - 3
jaayen
kabse hai dil mein mere armaan kai ankahe - 2
inko tu sunle aaja chaahat ke rang chadha jaa - 2
kehna kabhi to mera maan haai
(jiya dhadak dhadak - 3
jaayen) - 2
lagta hain yeh kyu mujhe sadiyon se chaahu tujhe - 2
mere sapno mein aake apna mujhko banake - 2
mujhpe tu kar ehsaan haai
(jiya dhadak dhadak - 3
jaayen) - 2
tujhe dekh dekh sona
tujhe dekh kar hain jagna
maine yeh zindagani
sang tere hain bitani haai
(jiya dhadak dhadak - 3

dhadak jaaye jiya
dhadak jaaye jaaye
jiya dhadak dhadak
jiya dhadak dhadak
dhadak dhadak dhadak jaaye
jiya dhadak dhadak - 3

Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hain (1960)

An almost magical movie from Raj Kapoor, it seems a very simplistic movie. In these cynical times, you would think that such a thing is impossible. However, the fact is that in reality, Acharya Vinoba Bhave did indeed cause dacoits to see the error of their ways and surrender. The movie portrays Raj Kapoor as a very simple man, not used to the complication of life, not very clever; but very honest, very much in love with the country and the fact that humans are not bad, and if they are acting wrongly, they can be shown the error of their ways and come to the right track.
The movie was released in 1960, and was a big hit. It was directed by Radhu Karmakar under the banner of R.K.Films and also starred Padmini, Pran, and Lalita Pawar. The music was by Shankar Jaikishan and the songs were a great hit. The movie won the Filmfare Award for Best Movie in 1961, and perpetuated Raj Kapoor's image as the simple, uncomplicated, not calculating film persona that he had been carrying along since Awaara and Shree 420.

Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hain

The movie stars a group of dacoits living with their families away from civilization, much hunted by the police. They are naturally suspicious of most things, and fear coming into contact with the police. One day, by accident Raju (Raj Kapoor) lands in their midst and only the sardar manages to save him, since the others suspect him to be policeman. Pran is the rebellious second in command and does not like Raj Kapoor.
Over a period of time, Padmini develops a liking for the simple ways of Raj Kapoor and falls in love with him further enraging Pran who had always thought that he would marry Padmini. Raj Kapoor somehow does not ever seem like becoming a dacoit and is mocked by the others for his seemingly gentle manners and lack of toughness, although many of the people start liking him.
Things take a sudden turn for the worse when the sardar is killed and Raj Kapoor admits that he is a policeman (even though he is not) and is imprisoned by Pran for eventually being killed. Padmini goes off to get the police, and at the same time, Pran kills one of the elder females (Lalita Pawar) by mistake when Raj Kapoor is persuading the other dacoits to surrender; they are after living a life of nomads and not being able to bring up their families properly. They set out to surrender and at the same time the police has assembled a huge force to capture them. There is a confrontation where Pran almost manages to have a shootout, but Raj Kapoor manages to save the day and prevent any bloodshed.
The depiction of the lives of the dacoits seems very realistic; I was also very impressed by the sets in the closing scene where the shooting was done in a very large partly hilly space, and you get a feeling of incredible vastness and a massive number of people assembling for a confrontation.

Songs from the movie:

O Basanti Pavan



Hum Bhi Hain Tum Bhi Ho



O Maine Pyaar Kiya



Hoton Pe Sachai Rehti Hain



Aa Ab Laut Chale (an incredibly beautiful song) - The final song about the path back to civilization



Begaani Shaadi Mein Abdullah Diwana



Mera Naam Raju
