Steven Spielberg's Movie on First World War

World war-1 is soon going to be a full length movie. The ace director Steven Spielberg after making the most successful “Saving The Private Ryan” which is based on World War-2 portraying the band of brothers. The movie was produced by his production house and was a major block buster of the year. So now he is getting ready to venture with the First World War this time he is teaming up with Academy Award winner Lee Hall of “Billy Elliot” fame. This time the film maker has purchased the rights of the book “Warhorse” which depicts the relationship between the relationships between a boy and his horse in the back drop of First World War. The book was written by Michael Morpurgo's in the year 1982. Spielberg has asked Lee Hall to adapt the screenplay from the book. He is going to finance the movie. When the director spoke about the project he said that “From the moment I read the book, I knew this was a film I wanted to make. Its heart and its message provide a story that can be felt in every country.” Well will it make wonders on screen?

2010 ka (Gay) Love Story!!!

Bollywood is on top gear now with a project on gay love story, which is never ever happened in Indian history (I hope Dostana never comes under the list). For the very first time, Sanjay Sharma has taken this controversial issue to make a movie “Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyun” deals with a serious man-to-man relationship. You may get surprised on hearing this, but as per the Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, it is legal in India (?), says director. Anil Sharma’s brother Kapil Sharma is playing the lead role (!!!) though he had some hesitations to take up the project, the role will connect to the strugglers and the script had developed the cold feet on him, he agreed the gay role of Aryan without making any compromising with the script. The actor have really faced some real-time incidents when he took inputs from his gay friends while attended some gay parties to observe their lifestyle and got hit by the one (Thank God!!!). The film makers are more confident about doing it and even they are making some bold scenes also. The film is set to release by this summer and I really doubt whether the audiences will accept this or not, but the film makers are damn sure about it to hit the screens.

Yet Another High Drama!

You may think that the title itself seems to be idiotic and really whose story is the movie "3 Idiots". Before the movie was released, every common individual (including the Author of the novel) believed that the story is based on the bestseller "Five Point Someone" and the talks were being held for almost an year. But after the release, movie makers have completely disagreed with this and they wore a sole coat for the story and no one is ready to accept that the movie which had some inspiration from the novel. Only the common people who have seen the movie as well as read the novel, have the rights to comment on it I guess. Now I have the rights to comment here since I have done both. It is completely acceptable that the screenplay of the movie is totally changed and it never resembled the FPS novel. But the fact is the storyline as well as some of the knots in the movie are tied from the novel and I don't know why Aamir Khan and Hirani are not ready to accept it. Frankly telling, the plot of the story, the narration, and the definition for "machine" etc., are same as the book. But Aamir had accused Chetan Bhagat trying to steal the credit from the storywriter of the movie and vice versa. But I wonder why the film makers didn't speak out that the story is their own and not based on any novel before the movie was released and why did they have contract with Chetan as per his words? However it maybe, it is appreciable that the film makers haven't done any copy, paste stuff (if they had really inspired from the novel) and the movie is really a feel good category, 100% entertainer. Even the controversies are the great boost-up for the movie's publicity and it really falls under one of the greatest ever hits of Aamir Khan.

SRK-ASH: Rab ne bana di jodi???

What would be the result of the movie if it had a pair of two extremes? Your answer for this question is what exactly going to happen. Yes, the bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan and the beauty queen Aishwarya Rai are going to hit the big screen very soon. We never forget the super icons' romantic soap opera was pulled in the dirt at the Chalte Chalte shoots and rumoured that Salman Khan got drunk and misbehaved with her former love Ash in the sets, and abused SRK when he intervened etc., Consequently Ash was kicked out of the film by the star producer SRK by stating that it had no apologies and replaced Rani Mukherjee. And the beauty icon hit it hard back by saying "Shahrukh Khan may be the greatest in his field, but he has a long way to go as a human being." It should be noted that the king khan was not invited for Abhishek-Ash marriage. But now the cinematographer-director Rajiv Menon, had succeeded in pairing SRK-Ash in his upcoming movie which is yet to be named. When SRK asked about it, he stated that he has no problem with pairing Ash and she also has no uncomfortable to work with him. Finally the stars had broken the ice but we, the common audiences are not still. It doesn't matters about the bollywood politics has no logics or ideals. Without confusing about the past, stay cool and enjoy the happenings as well as the movies.
