Yash Chopra to make a Directorial Comeback

The king of the film makers, Yash Chopra, is all set to make his directorial comeback. The director though, is waiting for the date books of his favorite couple, Shahrukh and Madhuri to allow him. Yashji has made his mind to cast SRK and Madhuri Dixit in his directorial comeback but sources say that Mads will only be available a little later as she is right now busy spending quality time with family in USA.
With movies under the Yash Raj Banner doing persistently bad, will this great director’s comeback be an exception?

Bollywood Movie Reviews: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Aditya Chopra’s latest venture rab ne bana di Jodi is being eagerly awaited by millions. He is all set to be back in the limelight with this new promising project of his. He is putting on the director’s cap after 8 yrs. His last directorial venture was mohabbatein starring shahrukh khan. Aditya chopra will make his new movie rab ne bana di jodi under the banner of “yash raj films” this time. The viewers are definitely hoping a visual treat. His legendary first movie diwale dulhaniya le jayenge has still not been forgotten by anyone. It created a record breaking history in bollywood. This movie again has shahrukh in it, which surely will be a major publicity factor for it. The combination of aditya chopra and shahrukh khan has proven to be a hit in the past.

As already mentioned shahrukh khan is the main hero of the movie. The female counterpart is yet to be finalized. The leading lady opposite to shahrukh will be a fresh new face. The search has already started for the new face who can fit the role in a perfect manner. It surely will be a dream debut for that lucky girl to be acting with aditya chopra and shahrukh khan together in one film. Aditya chopra will also be writing the script for this movie along with direction. The shooting of the movie will believed to commence from may 2008. aditya chopra is planning to rope in salim-sulaiman for the music of this movie. Salim- sulaiman have created good music in the past.

We can enjoy this movie mostly by the end of 2008, which is when it is expected to release. This is a good time for the release of the movie because of the holiday season for many of us.Aditya chopra had by choice taken this 8 year long break from direction. He was certainly not wasting time or talent doing nothing. He had been engaged in setting up the first studio model in India, which definitely would take “yash raj films” places. Simultaneously he was also busy with a lot of production activities. The movies which were produced under him over the recent past are hum tum, fanaa, salam namaste to name a few. He was the creative director of these movies. Along with all this he also had written many scripts in movies like veer zaara which was yash chopra’s directorial project. We surely are hoping for another record breaking movie just like dilwale dulahaniya le jayenge which still is been shown in theatres in Mumbai. The duo shahrukh khan and aditya chopra are all set to create magic once again.

Bollywood Movie Review: TASHAN

In what is being seen as the comeback plank of many industry superstars to the Yash Raj banner, ‘Tashan’ is already being seen and promoted as one of the biggest releases of 2008. The movie marks the return of Akshay Kumar( after Yeh Dillagi -1994 and Dil To Pagal Hai -1997), Kareena Kapoor( after Mujhse Dosti Karoge -2002) and Anil Kapoor( after Lamhe -1992) to the biggest production house in Bollywood. Along with the stylish Saif Ali Khan, they complete the star studded lineup of glamour and action in this movie, which is the maiden directorial venture of Vijay Krishna Acharya (credited with the screenplay of other Yash Raj hits like Dhoom and Dhoom 2). The movie is being produced by Aditya Chopra and Yash Chopra on behalf of Yash Raj Films, with Vishal-Shekhar providing the music.

Tashan, which stands for ‘style’ is believed to be a wholesome action commercial flick, with a brazen and overwhelming entertainment flavor. With plenty of twists, high powered performances, thrills, it’s expected to combine the age old Yash Raj Bollywood masala tinge with the fast pacedtelling trend of new age cinema.

The film revolves around a recovery agent, ‘Bachchan Pandey’ played by Akshay Kumar, who is employed by a petty wannabe gangster ‘Bhaiyaji’ played by Anil Kapoor. Kareena Kapoor plays a glamorous lady who owes a large amount of money to ‘Bhaiyaji’. ‘Bachchan Pandey’ is therefore assigned by his boss to recover the money from Kareena. This sets off a chain of events, in which Kareena is tracked around the world by the former, leading to a racy narrative. Saif Ali Khan’s role is pretty well guarded, as is the unconventional theme of the film. But what is surely known is that the film will feature his son, Ibrahim, making his debut and reportedly playing his reel life son.

The exciting plot and theme apart, Tashan has also been in the news for the fashionable new looks that each of the lead cast are sporting. Saif’s being the most prominent with a moustache and a mane, Akshay with designer stubble and a very short haircut, Kareena Kapoor’s ultra slim look to fit into the sexy attires and bikinis for her role. Even the normally conventional looking Anil Kapoor will be seen with a heavy, handlebar moustache.

The film was shot in various locales across the world. Shooting commenced in June 2007 in Kerala (that set the stage for the Saif-Kareena real life romance), and thereafter in Laddakh and Rajasthan. Some portions were also done in and around the Fort area of Mumbai and on the banks of the river Ganges at Haridwar. Exotic settings in Greece were also used.

The prmos of the film has raised a lot of hype and interest. Infact a recent IndiaFM poll put Tashan as No. 1 on the list of “Most Awaited Movies of 2008”. The punchline of the film- “THE ISHTYLE….THE GOODLUCK…..THE PHARMOOLA” itself evinces a lot of attention. Hitting the cinemas on 25 April 2008, it remains to be seen if this flick is as stylish at the box office as it is believed to be.
