Early to sets, early to post-production has made Rakesh Roshan a very happy producer.

Director Sanjay Gupta has completed the shooting of Rakesh Roshan’s Kaabil (starring Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam) in just 77 days, 11 days ahead of schedule.

Quite a rarity in Bollywood, for sure.

His grateful producer, Rakesh Roshan, however insists that he told Sanjay not to hurry and take his own time. Says Roshan Sr. “I wasn’t sure about the date schedule when we started the film. We had planned for an 88 day schedule but I told Sanjay not to hurry up. While I am not very strict about the days of shooting, I insist that everybody should be on the sets on time so they can concentrate and work becomes easier. For Kaabil, Hrithik as well as the rest of the cast, used to reach an hour before shooting and we would be ready for the first shoot by 9:30 am. That way, we reduced the number of days and everything happened on time. I am very happy that we sailed through everything smoothly and managed to make a good film with strong content. Our trailer releases next week.”

BADLAPUR - Hindi movie review

Rating: ****

BADLAPUR - Hindi movie review

A dark thriller with its unique story telling approach gathering momentum with its pace, magnificent camera work and superlative performances from Varun Dhawan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Huma Qureshi.

Yet another spine-chiller from Sriram Raghavan who earlier made a notable revenge drama – Ek Hasina Thi (2004) and an out-and-out thriller – Johnny Gaddaar (2007). Badlapur doesn’t preach, has no message, it is just a plain thriller which has an unpredictable ending.

Total Siyapaa - Film Review

Disappointing 

Rating - **

Asha (Yami Gautam) is of Indian origin and Aman (Ali Zafar) is a Pakistani national, both are residents in the United Kingdom.

Aman visits the girls parents’ house to seek their permission. On the day when he is supposed to meet Asha’s parents, an unfortunate incident occurs as due to some misunderstanding he is mistaken as a terrorist and goes through the strip-search by the cops.

He is let off at the station, and is in lowest of his spirits and wants to postpone his meeting with the girl’s parents for some other day. However Asha is insistent that he finish the task on that day itself, and despite his hesitation, they head for the girls parents house.

Marketed as a rib-tickling rom-com as marketed in its trailers, the film disappoints as the supposedly funny instances just fall flat. The film is far from being a funny film with chaotic and outrageous situations.
