Shaadi Ke Side Effects Poster Like As A Cocktail Flavor!

When Farhan Akhtar revealed the first 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' poster via Twitter this morning, we couldn't help but have a little 'Cocktail' hangover!

In tone, alignment and the mood captured, the 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' poster appeared to be a cousin of that of the Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty film that released in 2012. Take a look at the collage below and decide for yourself.

Still, the subjects of both films couldn't be further apart. While 'Cocktail' was a love triangle, 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' is the story of a couple who are desperately looking to rediscover love post marriage and a baby.

'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' stars Vidya Balan and Farhan Akhtar and judging by their appearance on the last episode of 'Koffee With Karan', the pair have developed a warm camaraderie. Will that translate into onscreen magic? We'll have to wait for February 28 to find out!

Until then, tell us - which poster do you prefer?

Bullett Raja Movie Review: Brainless Action With Blood-Battle Saga

Challenging brainless action movies that our B-town directors have been selling blatantly with alarming regularity-in the name of blockbusters or crowd pullers-Tigmanshu Dhulia gives us a delicious blood-battle saga. The intelligent filmmaker blends high-octane drama and power-packed action beautifully with a concrete plot, taut editing and excellent writing to produce an engaging watch!

Rating : 3.5 out 5

Do Rs 100 crore movies have to be brain-dead mass pullers? Do stories have to be crafted keeping in mind ‘what’s in’ with an air of arrogance that tends to take cinegoers’ wisdom for granted? And most importantly, is it mandatory for movie buffs to leave their brains at home when they walk into a movie theater and then invariably get served mindless masala flicks in the name of entertainment?

In this day and age when entering the glamorous club of Rs 100 crore seems to be the only motive of our directors, Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullett Raja should ideally be served as a template especially to those who believe that the business of entertainment is trend-driven as opposed to logic-driven. In his attempt to engage the audience, Dhulia comes up with an electrifying entertainer that demands you to use your brains!

For those who have been cringing at the alarming flourish of Dabangg kinda productions, where the protagonist is larger-than-life; someone who keeps the audiences glued to the seats with his relentless high flying starry kicks and power-packed punches, Dhulia’s Bullett Raja comes across as a breath of fresh air. It certainly is a time for our high profile film directors to watch Dhulia’s latest endeavour to get a clear idea about how a fine cinematic experience can be creatively crafted. In this one, even if our hero wanders around with the machismo of a desi cowboy while totting guns, his antics never defy your ability to think. The director certainly has a grip on the narrative and he knows how to draw the proverbial laxman rekha between fiction and facts without going overboard.

Moving over the Rowdies and the Tigers and the Singhams –who should, by now, die a shameful death-thanks to the arrival of the new age Raja..err Bullett Raja who keeps you entertained without taking your IQ for granted. This tale is rustic, raw and unapologetic with lots of believable twists and turns that leave you wondering what will happen next. Dhulia keeps both the intensity and intrigue element of his earlier movies like Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster and Paan Singh Tomar intact as he portrays his story set in the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh’s goondaraj.

Following the trajectory of hot headed Raja Mishra aka Saif Ali Khan Bullett Raja’s story should not be unraveled in words, for the attempt may dilute the essence of the action thriller. Instead we give you a list of pluses (and a few misses) that makes this flick an entertaining watch.

Amidst the showers of bullets being sprayed in almost every second frame (to exaggerate) this movie follows a definite path to unveil the story in a gripping manner.

Fiery and impactful dialogues will make you giggle and think at the same time. For instance when Saif Ali Khan is suggested to think twice before seeking revenge against his opponents our hero goes- Bhai mara hai hamara, badla lena parampara hai. Koi corporate culture nahin hai ki agli deal mein profit ya loss adjust kar lenge. The lines are really quirky and stay true to the situations and believable for the characters who mouth them, throughout the film.

Possibly the best role Saif has played ever after Langda Tyagi in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. Saif’s Raja Mishra aka Bullett Raja is rooted and raw.

Jimmy Shergill has once again made us ask the pertinent question-why has the good looking Punjabi lad has remained underrated in our movies despite his commendable acting skills? Shergill is never off key in any of his scenes.

Sonakshi Sinha has played her part well. Raj Babbar is fine with his portrayal of an influential politician, while Vidyut Jamwal looks impressive with his solid screen presence and his impossible to match action moves if not exactly with his acting chops.

I Don’t Even Watch My Own Movies - Kareena Kapoor Khan

The ultimate heroine of tinseltown ahead of the release of her new film Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. Bebo opened up on what her film is all about, her equation with co-star Imran Khan and why she thinks that her Nawab miyaan has become more desi than before…

She’s girly, beautiful and very easy to get along with. But to meet Kareena Kapoor Khan in person is to discover that she is a very strong character. Away from her glossy public image of a glam star who eats, drinks and sleeps movies, the 33-year-old loves to chat on a range of topics. Perhaps that’s why she gets along with Imran Khan so easily. “Imran is more like Saif in terms of his knowledge. He will chat about so many topics from all over the world,” says Kareena about her Gori Tere Pyaar Mein co-star. This is Bebo’s second film with the honey-eyed Khan after Shakun Batra’s 2012 romantic comedy Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.

We are at Karan Johar’s office in suburban Mumbai. A calm evening is quickly seguing into a clamorous night. The impossible traffic of the island city is making its boisterous presence felt, but Kareena’s warmth and the elegance of her body language – the seamless fluidity with which she moves – has a soothing effect. Her slimness, her piercing light brown eyes, her alabaster skin…it doesn’t take too long to work magic. While chatting with us, Bebo suddenly pulls back her brown hair to show off the glossy, sculptural whiteness of her wide forehead. She is wearing no make-up and yet exudes that divaesque charm effortlessly. Over a cup of coffee Kareena gets lively and chats about various interesting topics..

We hear that Saif Ali Khan was the original choice to play the male protagonist in Gori Tere Pyaar Mein and now Imran is playing that character….

Arre, achcha hain na, Imran hai toh. People loved our pairing in Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. And here we are, back together. And I am certainly happy about it. Imran is unlike any other Bollywood actor I have worked with. Imran is slightly angrez..

So is Saif, we believe. Isn’t he angrez too with his behaviour, his mannerisms and the way he carries himself?

Trust me, Saif is more desi than Imran. You know, Imran talks about so many things, not just Bollywood, and that keeps me entertained!

Oh, come on Bebo – we know that you like to talk, walk, and eat Bollywood movies!

No, not at all. I don’t even watch my own movies!

So will your chemistry with Imran be reflected on the screen since you bonded with him so well first on the sets of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and now with Gori Tere Pyaar Mein?

We kinda hit it off right from the word ‘go’. Imran is very polite. He is extremely charming. He’s very chivalrous and gives off that nice warm vibe.

Imran told us that if at all one has to share good chemistry – on the sets or off it – it has to be with Kareena because she is so special. How would you react to that statement?

Too many compliments!

Tell us about your character in the movie…

I am playing this NGO worker who thinks that she can carry the burden of all the worries of the whole world on her shoulders. She wants to take on everything. She wants to be a part of every active campaign. Right from anti- corruption to anti-pollution rallies – she is concerned about everything. She wants to be everywhere. She is very headstrong. And however serious this role might be, you can’t forget the fact that this is a Dharma production in the end. So you will see me in gorgeous salwaar-kameez aur bilkul chingum chabake naachna, wagaira. It’s a Karan Johar film, after all!

What’s with this cheeky act – first you pinched Imran’s bottom in Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and now you are kicking his butt in Gori Tere Pyar Mein!

In Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu I played a bratty young Parsi girl and in this movie I am slightly mad. And you can see the madness there. She’s kicking Imran’s butt. I guess that’s why Punit Malhotra wrote the song called Tooh.

From Jab We Met to Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and now Gori Tere Pyaar Mein – does Kareena Kapoor Khan enjoy playing characters that are extrovert, chirpy and have a mad streak?

That’s because I am a little mad person even in real life. If a project does not excite me, I will never do that movie.

Since you are playing a social activist in the movie, how aware are you about what is happening around us politically or socially? What’s your take on the current situation of law and order in India?

I just hope that our laws get reassessed. We need to take our laws seriously. I also believe that politicians are such a joke in this country. They themselves break the laws. Just look around. People are scattered; they are wandering, aur kuch bhi chal raha hain. I think it is getting worse.

All I can say is that we need to vote for right people, but for that to happen people should be educated in the first place. Problem with us is that to run this country and sustain democracy, we need equality. We have so many classes, more poor people you see on the roads these days and more uneducated people you see even in the cities and you wonder if they are going to make right choices if they vote for a candidate who they think is right for them.

Saif is getting increasingly busy with nurturing his production house. Does he seek creative inputs from you for films like Go Goa Gone?

Trust me, I give zero inputs. I don’t discuss work with my husband whatsoever. He doesn’t even know that I am doing an interview with you. He will never ask me. We don’t discuss movies in our house. Our lives are not only about movies.

How do you see your journey in the past ten years? What roles would you like to play in the days to come?

It’s been fabulous so far. I can’t thank God enough for giving me this beautiful life. I have only one wish – that when I turn 60, I would like to be remembered as an actor and not a star, because stars come and go, but actors remain!

Saif, Riteish, Bipasha Shoot at MI6 Building for Sajid’s Upcoming 'Humshakals'

Sajid Khan's promising comedy flick, 'Humshakals' is surely taking Bollywood to new heights. The multi-starrer film that has Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor in triple roles vows to an absolute entertainer as the trio have the audience doubled in laughter with their antics.

Most of the film has been shot abroad and Sajid Khan promises some never-seen locations through the film.

Sajid Khan, who is known to surprise audiences with his out-of-the-box style will not only treat fans to a triple role for the first time but also give a glimpse of the globe as he picks locations never explored by Bollywood before.

The team is currently been shooting in London and we hear they have obtained special permission to shoot in the MI6 building, which is located in the south western part of central London, on the bank of the River Thames.

According to a source, usually permission is not given to shoot at the iconic site. However, looks like Saijd Khan has some friends in high places.

"The MI6 building is an iconic building and hence because of the security reasons they do not let anyone enter the building. Being very fascinated towards the building, Sajid was keen to shoot in this building for one of the sequences. Hence using his special resources and contacts he arranged the shoot for 1 day into the building!," said the source.

Reports also suggest that on the day of the shoot, the elevator of the building was under maintenance and the cast and crew had a good 14 floor climb.

"It was funny to see Esha, Bipasha and Tamanna climb up the 14 floors with their heels in the hand," adds the source.

Produced by Fox Star Studios, 'Humshakals' is slated to release by June next year.

May Parineeti Chopra Be Saif Ali Khan’s in Naram Garam Remake?

We hear that Saif Ali Khan has been chosen to play the role of Amol Palekar as Ram Prasad in the new film. Will he be able to do justice to it? And what about the other characters – which of today’s actors will be the right fit? You tell us….

While the Go Goa Gone star will step into the shoes of the slightly goofy, slightly crazy Amol Palekar, we wonder who will get into the garb of the sweet and simple Swaroop Sampat, who played the lead in the original Naram Garam. Kumar Mangat has bought the rights of this fun Hrihikesh Mukherjee flick and Son of Sardaar director Ashwini Dheer is all set to direct it. While we really doubt if the essence of a typical Mukherjee film can be recreated, the idea of seeing Bollywood actors getting all entangled in the chaos onscreen will be fun. For those who don’t know much about the film; here’s the story in a nutshell.

Amol Palekar – the middle class hero with a stable job – gives shelter to Swaroop Sampat and her father AK Hangal, since they are homeless due to non-repayment of a debt. But the generous soul isn’t aware of the mess that’s will ensue after this noble gesture. From the estate manager to the Amol’s boss Utpal Dutt, everyone seems to be smitten by Sampat’s charm and wants to marry her – yes, the same girl that Amol himself has fallen head over heels in love with! How Amol and Sampat, who are already rather fond of each other, deal with the uninvited mayhem is what the film is about.

Very Gol Maal-ish, very Hrishikesh–esque, which stars would be suitable for what roles in the film? You decide…
