Don and Munnabhai make Dhoom!

Don and Munnabhai make Dhoom!
If there is one movie I have no views to share on, it’s Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Contrary to what the title begs, I prefer to do just the opposite. And for good. Why? All I’ll say is you expect to see a Hailey’s comet and end up watching an inflated balloon in the sky.

Yeah so what if it has all these fantastic actors, gorgeous locations, dressy sets, peppy songs and a dying-to-be-different storyline? It’s still an inflated balloon. So we’ll let it stay in air and proceed to fresher pastures the B-I-G-G-I-E-S!

Have you seen the promos of Dhoom 2? They look absolutely swashbuckling. It looks like the kind of movie that gives popcorn a good name. I hope that’s the case.

And then there is Don. Man, Farhan Akhtar is sure in sticky spot. It’s a no-win situation for the man who made Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya. See, it’s very simple. If he remains faithful to the Big B classic, he’ll be under attack. If he strays too much, he’ll be under attack. But thanks to Shah Rukh Khan and good luck Chopra, Priyanka not Prem, a promising opening is already in the bag. The trailer looks all right, I thought. It sure looks glossy if nothing else. Will it work? What do you think?

As for what I think? Lage Raho Munnabhai is where my bets lie. I love how the word ‘hope’ springs up at the mention of every forthcoming flick. But I truly hope the jolly good duo of Munna and Circuit regales us yet again with their tapori brand of masti and banter. And it won’t echo of the Phir Hera Pheri disappointment.

So which one is it going to be for you? Dhoom 2, Don or Lage Raho Munnabhai?

To hell with versatility
Raja Hasan in SaReGaMaPa comes second only to Toshi Sabri of VOI, everyone knows that. Everyone. Both from the humble state of Rajasthan know for its exceptional folk talent, and both sing similar stuff. Raja, however, is constantly picked upon when it comes to versatility, the respected Vishal-Shekhar duo going to the extent of saying that he needs to get out of the Suhkwinder Singh/Kailash Kher mould and sing something different.
Yes, he tried a peppy track, did Raja - chak de phatte, and the crowd were on their feet. Yesterday was a day where he had to prove it again, and he did - effortlessly - with O Re Chori, although Udit’s lovely voice still haunts us.

For those who watched Rahul Dravid make the English bowling attack pregnant on a few channels ahead, here is the performance, YouTubed.



But that’s hardly what he’s capable of. Talk Qawalis, and that’s his area of strength. Here’s Piya Haji Ali from Fiza - rendered in his divine voice.



Like Shekhar put it, after the ‘challenge’, this will be the busiest playback singer around.

For now, it’s off to the idiot-box again. Indian Idol’s on - someone’s being eliminated and I just hope it’s Prashant, because the others deserve to stick around.
