Banner : J. S. Movie Entertainment

Producer : Dr. Joginder Singh Padam

Director : Faisal Saif

THE STORY

Chartered accountant Vikram (Shahwar Ali) and his keep Soniya (Meera) who are waiting for another accountant Muqaadam (Rashid Khan) to deliver 5 crores hard cash at their farm house. Vikram works for Sultan Corporation which is owned by Sultan Khan (Ranjeet). As soon as Muqaadam delivers the money, Vikram and Sonia plan to kill Muqaadam and escape to Singapore next day with 5 crores to start a new life. Vikram and Soniya go exactly by their plan. Enter Karan Oberoi (Abhishek Kumar) whose car breaks down in front of Vikram's Farm House. Karan also happens to be Soniya's junior ex classmate in her college. Muqaadam's Girlfriend Reshma (Kavita Radheshyam), an ex exotic dancer who is waiting for Muqaadam to return, plans to take matter into her own hands. There is also a smart and strict Police Officer Raam Singh (Nasser Abdulla) who is in search of Truth.This is where the dirty game of love, betrayal, murder and deceit begins.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

The film is full of Twists, Turns and Jumps which keep's viewer's mind engrossed throughout. The film is mostly shot on one single location and doesn't give you a boring view at all. The screenplay and dialogues (Faisal Saif) of the film is so tight that it keep's giving you Jolt's in every next scene. Faisal Saif is the same director who directed Hrishitaa Bhatt's 2006 controversial 'Jigyaasa' which failed at the Box Office. This time, He brings a Psycho Thriller and has succeeded in grabbing viewer's attention through his story telling. Director Faisal Saif has executed each and every scene of the film brilliantly. It almost very hard to make a Scary Thriller but Saif has succeeded in making this. The taking of every shot reminds you of a Quentin Tarantino cinema. The second best part of the film is Background Score (Leonard Victor), The score grows on you with the moving story. Pakistani actress Meera is the pillar of the story. She is highly dramatic, menacing and yet manages to get the audiences root for her from the very beginning. Supporting her is debutant Abhishek Kumar who performs his part very well. He doesn't look like this is his debut film. Another debutant Kavita Radheshyam is a surprise packet of the story. She is the same actress who landed in controversy with her semi-naked photo shoot on Save Tiger campaign. Shahwar Ali, Nasser Abdulla and Ranjeet are very good in their respective parts. The songs of the film are good, But such Genre doesn't really required songs and dances. The Editing (Ashutosh) and camerawork (Sumesh K.Chandran) is crispy and outstanding. Production and technical values are fair.

TRADE ANALYSIS

The film is very less Publicized and less Promoted film. The film's with Zero awareness has only one hope tagged with them is word-of-mouth.The film is also Pakistani actress Meera's second bollywood come-back film, but she has been not come to India for the promotion of the film. According to sources she is in Pakistan and praying for Ramadan. Also Kavita Radheyshyam’s controversy is not able promote the film. While the film is the spice of all kinds.   

Ath  the Box Office 5 GHANTEY MIEN 5 CRORE should not be missed and only word of mouth publicity will help this film grow.

NIKHIL KAMATH’S 20 Songs IN THE FIRST-EVER MUSICAL SERIAL JAMUNIA

JAMUNIA is  first  musical serial which Doordarshan will  telecast on 27th
May, Sunday at 10.30 a.m.  All the 30 episodes of the serial have been shot.
Nikhil Kamath has provided the music for all the 20 songs in this serial
which includes the title track too.This is Prasar Bharati's own serial and they have made a comeback after 20 long years for their in house production which is highly commendable.
Dy. DIRECTOR GENERAL of DOORDARSHAN  Lakshmendra Chopra says:" JAMUNIA is  one serial where you will definitely see   a hard-hitting drama of a single  woman's fight against her own family members. The role of JAMUNIA is played by Richa Sony who had appeared in the serial Bhagya Vidhaata. She has done  extremely well in the title role."
 Music Director NIKHIL KAMATH:" I was told to provide the music which every common man, the general mass and also the class would appreciate. I was simply amazed with the efficiency of people like Udaynath Nayak, the executive producer and the video executive who helped each and every unit member during the shoots in Kolhapur to give their best. Anee Chatterjee has rendered the title songs well as many more. She has a unique voice as she is a well trained singer who is already a part of Bolywood. The best support came to me from veteran lyricist Rajesh Johri who has also given the voice over and has
also played the role of Jamunia's father. He has put his soul in the serial."
SURESH SINGH BISHNOI( Director):" It was a great challenge to direct this
serial as we had to follow the strict guidelines of the Doordarshan. Many
people have found the serial very gripping , especially the women folk as I
have tackled the theme of women empowerment. I got full support from the
team    of Prasar Baharati and I hope JAMUNIA will become a household name
very soon. We have also included many songs in the episodes and they are
like jewels as Nikhil Kamath has taken lots of efforts to keep the lyrical
as well as the musical mood in a total Indian style which will be
appreciated by one and all. Rajesh Johri took pains to give more and more
perfection to the serial with his voice over and I must admit that he took
extra care which inspired me to go for major improvisations on the actual
shoots."

 Udhyanath  Nayak,  video executive and executive producer of JAMUNIA   said:" I was present in the shoots in Kolhapur and we completed the shooting of all the 30 episodes of JAMUNIA. It has cost us Rs.2 Lakhs per episode. We are happy now as we have fulfilled our committment to the serial."

Yeh Dooriyan is a best film of this week.

THE STORY
College Campus deals with a sensitive topic of today's builder's lobby who want to build the malls wherein all types of businesses can take place but at the cost of an educational institution Arharva College whose Principal( Govind Namdev ), Mukesh Rishi (Police Officer) and a Police sub-Inspector ( Atul Srivastav ) save the honour of the college in the climax. The usual ingredients of students having 'mauj' and 'masti', college romance and a few comedy punches in the college canteen and the canteen boss ( Azaad Bhai) provide many light moments as well as serious moments too.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Although many films like 3 IDIOTS and FAALTU of late have depicted problems faced by studentsthis film too tries very hard to bring home the point that students of today's times are indulging in too many vices and hardly a few of them take studies seriously. The young team of students viz. Ashraf,Ram Neetu Chaudhari, Vijay ,Khushi Sharma,Praveen Dighe who are all new actors have managed to score well and keep the interest alive throughout with Govind Namdev taking a big lead in many a scene where he is execellent as usual. Jaya Prada surprises as a Professor in the college who blames the parents for the poor progress of their sons and daughters in the college sayig that the students are with them for only six hours but with the parents for eighteen hours ! Mukesh Rishi is very effective while Mushtaque Khan,Tej Sapru, Milind Gunaji, Sanatan Modi and Abhay Bhaargav lend fair support. Mohan Joshi is competent as the builder shark.In this movie we fing Mohini's MMS funda, students nonsense violance and police departments unlogik thoughts. Common man can not diegest.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
So called Actor & music director turn Debutant director Atul Srivastav has not done a brilliant job, in handling a college subject looks like childish. His music compositions are still better with the number 'Ishq Mein Rusvaai Bhi Manzoor Hai' being the best of the lot.Lyricists Saahil Sultanpuri and Kishore Chanchal have written meaningful words too. New singer Manjeera with a very smooth voice and she is in the Shreya Ghosal mould. But the songs will need a heavy promotion to make them popular. Camera work (Nazeer Khan) is very good. Editing (Govind Dalwadi) is sharp.
COLLEGE CAMPUS is an average movie on box-office.Concept is good but writting, direction, casting and presentation are average.

Dhobi Ghat Shahery Thath Baat

Banner: Aamir Khan Productions
Cast: Aamir Khan
Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra & Dan Husain

Sound: Ayush Ahuja
Cinematography: Tushar Kanti Ray
Editing: Nishant Radhakrishnan

Music: Gustavo Santaolalla
Director : Kiran Rao

Prododucer: Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao
Without interval 95-minute's movie Dhobi Ghat is not a movie where public walk in anticipating regular entertainment, it is about Mumbai, the city which is crowded but has enough place for all it's immigrants, it is about the sea, the placid waters that listens to your story and assimilates, keeps all the secrets of it's people and becomes the Mumbai Diaries.

The movie is about four unrelated characters, who happen to discover each other accidently and then continue leading their lives just as they were before. So basically, if they hadn't met, the result of this movie would remain unchanged (right?). Anyway, Arun (Aamir Khan) plays a painter, a man who is fond of his space, feedom. He is a divorcee who is constantly moving from one home to another in quest of something only he is aware of. After a one night stand with Shai (Monica Dogra), an NRI investment banker who wants to capture 'poor India, hungry India'. Shai is also not shy in inviting her Dhobi, Munna (Prateik Babbar) home for tea and then goes ahead to shoot his portfolio, as he wants to be an actor. Arun gets deeply tangled with his new muse, Yasmin (Kriti Malhotra), whose depressing story is filmed in abandoned tapes that he discovers in his newly rented apartment.

Prateik, his eyes reminds one of Smita Patil. He is a reservoir of looks, talent waiting to be tapped. He is a dhobi who's embraced Mumbai for a livelihood and has learnt to live, he is raw, innocent at first thought but the next scene in an apartment suggests that the lady of the house has been having a relationship with him. An aspirant actor he moves around closely with Monica Dogra, helps her with her documentary and gets his portfolio done. He portrays the inhibitions of breaking his class, status, values perfectly in his relationship with Monica Dogra . The scene on the terrace and how he rushes towards Monica Dogra shows his vulnerability, his acknowledgement of reality and gratitude of a human being, as a Mumbaikar, as an actor. Kriti Malhotra commentary on her life is boring, though her work, her portrayal of her feelings from exuberance, to angst, to hopelessness is perfect. Monica Dogra 's character is not perfectly etched, at times you are shown that she is getting attracted to him while taking the pictures and at times it is evident that she is just using him to locate Aamir Khan and for her documentary

Prateik manages a convincing dhobi, rat-killer and gigolo . Monica can be believed as an upper class NRI. Aamir manages his pensive role with great flourish, closely competing with the blob of white hair on his head that tries to steal our attention. Kriti does a great job with her narrative on Mumbai but the story of her life is too boring to endure.

Director Kiran Rao And cinematographer Tusar Kanti Ray constract a rich and intimate portrait of the Mumbai city. Almost locations and over shadow the characters are in and around Mumbai. There is a terrific shot of Aamir walking down the bustling Mohammed Ali Road during Ramzan. In another scene, Prateik covers hisshanty from the torrential rain as local trains whiz by. The movie is a middling debut, watchable due to its nuances but simply not interesting enough to recommend. Yet Kiran Rao seems assured of her craft, and worth looking out for in the future.

Indeed, Kiran Rao deserves applause just for giving Prateik the platform she has, highlighting a raw young actor the industry ought covet. She clearly cares for her characters and has a massive crush on Mumbai, her leading lady. Yet her lovesong, however earnest, just doesn't sound good enough. Finally, movie is a film festival material and it's for intellectual city audiences.

I HATE LUV STORY- an enjoyable movie

Cast:Imran Khan - JaySonam Kapoor - SimranSammir Dattani - RajSamir Soni - VeerKavin Dave Khusboo ShroffBruna AbdullahKetki Dave - Simran’s motherAnju Mahendru – Jay’s motherShireesh Sharma Aseem TiwariSpecial Appearance: Aamir Ali & Pooja Ghai

Credits & Crew:Written & Directed by – Punit MalhotraProducer – Hiroo Yash Johar , Karan Johar & Ronnie ScrewvalaDirector of Photography – Ayananka BoseAssociate Producer – Apoorva MehtaMusic – Vishal & ShekharExecutive Producer – Marijke deSouzaLyrics – Anvita Dutt, Kumaar & Vishal DadlaniProduction Designer – Amrita Mahal NakaiFilm Editor – Akiv AliStory, Screenplay & Dialogues – Punit MalhotraSound Design – Ali MerchantCostume Director – Manish MalhotraChoreography – Bosco CaesarBackground Score – Salim SulaimanPublicity Design – Himanshu & Rahul NandaCasting – Shanoo SharmaSecondary Costume Designer - Gopika Malkan

We have a boy who doesn’t believe in love and a girl who only believes in love. ‘I hate luv storys’ is the maxim Jay (Imran Khan) lives by, whose attraction towards girls doesn’t go beyond flirtatious friendships or one night stands. Love, for him, doesn’t exist.

After a series of constant repartees between Jay and Simran, it gives way to a nice friendship, and before she feels it, she is in love with Jay. Our cool dude is in his own world, blissfully unaware of her feelings. So the film is about whether this non believer in love stories will he discover love?The turmoil’s of Jay and Simran’s life, is ironically interweaved with the Luv Story that they are working on…. So it comes till the end whether Jay and Simran will ever find their own Luv Story… Towards the end, the story is simply predictable and here it is that the story adapts to the typical Bollywood ending with the hero rushing bending down on his knees and proposing her with a bouquet of flowers and other goody goody things.

But as an assistant director to a most famous romantic filmmaker of Indian Film Industry, Jay has little option but to live with larger than life, glossy, cinematic love on an everyday basis. Things only get worse when he is made to work under the new production designer on the film… Simran (Sonam Kapoor), with whom he shares the strangest first encounter!Simran loves luv storys; So much so that even her life has begun to resemble one. With her ideal job and the perfect boyfriend, Raj (Sammir Dattani), she lives a blissful, dreamy life; One that is rudely interrupted by Jay’s cynicism.
Simran is happy with her love story with Raj and is just thinks it is just perfect. But the cool dude Jay, is skeptic about Simran’s affair with reminders about her boyfriend Raj’s ‘fugly’ shirts and the sweety-sugary approaches of Raj, which are found only in apna Bollywood films, and of course not, in reality!

I hate Love Story begins well, with very realistic moments about a young guy working in a production house in Mumbai. While the setting in second half shifts to the beautiful country - New Zealand. Lovely scenery of this Kiwi country is beautifully captured by Cinematographer Ayananka Bose. Those tender moments in the romantic New Zealand are awesome. Imran Khan shines in this film and what to mention about the beautiful Sonam Kapoor as the dreamy eyed Simran. Soman has portrayed well the character of a cute gal who can be vulnerable when in love, and icily indifferent when jilted. Samir Soni is brilliant as Veer, the over-expressive Bollywood filmmaker, who constantly weaves the magic of romance on the Indian screen. The handsome Sammir Dattani as Raj is apt in his part of a goody-goody lover who regularly sends white flowers to his girlfriend..I Hate Luv Storys is an enjoyable fare, a typical Mills and Boon type of a story. Go, its worth a watch.
