seconda sentenza: Hissss

è dunque quello che ci si potrebbe aspettare da un prodotto di Bollywood quello che ci propone   “Hissss”, difficile poi decifrare se questo possa essere il titolo del film o qualche esotica e speziata pietanza gradita dalla regista resa (probabilmente) celebre da altri colossal che forse avrà fatto.

Un film forte dunque, d’impatto dove l’inizio sconvolge mostrando l’avvento nell’era premitiva delle prime mestuazioni, un arrivo inaspettato e brutale dove scene “gore” si amalgamano perfettamente con scorci di una giungla selvaggia quasi a richiamare il tema della natura, questo tema ci accompagnerà lungo tutto l’arco del film sottolineando quanto ormai l’uomo abbia bisogno di legami più stretti con essa sgrufolando nel fango e contorcendosi come animali… dopo questo flashback nel passato per spiegarci le origini di questo antico male eccoci ricapultati nel presente dove il regista davvero abile nel giocare con una “timeline” tra presente e passato, ci mostra un nuovo nemico: il famigerato “Uomoserpente” una creatura un po’ uomo e un po’ serpente ovviamente assetata di sangue…e cosa richiama di più un mostro assetato di sangue che non delle mestruazioni?

Ed ecco fatto, la perfetta equazione è servita, semplice e devastante, due nemici dell’umanità pronti a disintegrare tutto ciò che a noi è più caro, il ritmo diventa frenetico tanto da tagliare il fiato ed è qui che l’attore Irrfan Khan (anche noto come “Panjabi Mc” o “Apu” nella famosa serie “i simpson”) da il meglio di se sfoderando lo stesso tipo di espressione accigliata che l’ha reso celebre nella terra del curry.

Hissss ci dona un finale prezioso sul quale meditare donandoci una rara perla di poesia in mondo di celluloide.

Dunque in sintesi questo film di Jennifer Chambers Lynch ambientato in una terra lontana che ha sfornato personaggi del calibro di Ghandi e Dhalsim ci dona l’occasione di riflettere sul perchè un paese del terzo mondo debba sperperare soldi per creare della merda così.

La mia sentenza: “sarebbe meglio tirare un sorsone al Gange”

बिग बॉस में अश्लीलता दिखाने के कारण कलर्स को नोटिस

कलर्स टेलीविजन चैनल पर प्रसारित किए जा रहे रियलिटी शो “बिग बॉस-3″ को सूचना एवं प्रसारण मंत्रालय ने नोटिस जारी किया है। एक निजी चैनल के मुताबिक निर्माता को जारी नोटिस में कहा कि इसमें अश्लीलता दिखाई जा रही हैं। यह नोटिस राजू श्रीवास्तव मामले में जारी किया गया हैं।
रविवार के शो में राजू श्रीवास्तव टेबल पर खडे होकर डांस कर रहे थे तो शमिता ने उनकी अंडरवियर खींच दी। इस सीन को हालांकि एडिटिंग में धुंधलाकर दिखाया गया लेकिन शमिता की इस बेशर्मी ने सभी को शर्मसार कर दिया। टीआरपी के मुताबिक इस शो में राजू श्रीवास्तव अभी तक सबसे ज्यादा पसंद किए जा रहे है। वे हमेशा अपने हाव-भाव से मौजूद लोगों का एंटरटेनमेंट करते रहते है। सबसे बडी बात यह है कि राजू श्रीवास्तव और कमाल खान के बीच हुए गाली-गलौच में राजू ने एक भी गाली नहीं दी। इससे यह साफ होता है कि इस शो में राजू अपना दावा सबसे मजबूत करना चाहते है। लेकिन इस घटना ने राजू को भी कटघरे में लाकर खडा कर दिया हैं।

HR report

I think I just saw the greatest moviee ever made. No, that is not a typo. Aap Kaa Surroor – The Moviee The Real Luv Story has given me joy, rekindled my faith in Bollywood and reminded me that while spelling is sacred, it’s a distant second to fun. Plus, it’s got me out of my funk and blogging again. Hallelujah! And for this epiphany I must thank Gabriele Ammerman.
Aap kaa Suroor had a 28-day shooting schedule in Germany. Bollywood descended upon Deutscheland and hired an entire German crew of assistant directors and technicians. Ammerman hung around this bunch, following them around the country. The result is The Making of Aap kaa Surroor, a hilarious little documentary that is a must-watch whether or not you love Himesh.
Assistant director Michael Braun saw the script for the first time on the night before the first day of shooting. It was also the last time. Much like Freddie Mercury, director Prashant Chadha wanted to break free (Himesh’s role model for the concert scenes, however, was Robbie Williams, whose concert dvds were played on set for edification and inspiration). Chadha chose Germany because the he wanted “visuals that were fresh” for this story that is apparently very similar to Himesh’s real life; but for the bits that involve dead journalists, Mallika Sherawat as a Coyote-Ugly-esque lawyer and a chase through a German town complete with turtling cars and a crack team in a Hummer. Over the course of the shoot, the Germans went from being confused by the “improvisations” to being aghast and finally being overwhelmed by feelings of awe. Three Minis were harmed in the making of this movie.  The German crew couldn’t believe 6 men could cheerfully lug a Jimmy Jib all across a city and work 12-hour days. It didn’t make sense that a director would ask for an entire cathedral (in Cologne) to be rented and then, on the day before shooting, say that the enormous stained glass windows let in too much light so they need to be boarded up. What kind of production rents an entire airport for a 30-second sequence and then holds up shooting because there’s one less BMW in a convoy (which will be seen for less than a second)? By the way, there’s one less car because it’s the director who got the number wrong when talking to BMW. One of the Germans had to remind herself that it wasn’t a music video she was shooting but a movie; quickly she realised that treating the movie like a series of music videos was much better for her own sanity.
With an expression of appalled despair, Braun said he had to forget everything he had learned were basics and immutable. “We forgot continuity, we forgot all the rules that you are taught never to break in film school.” Instead Braun stood on a platform in a cathedral in Cologne and waved his arms manically in order to get a crowd of 350 extras to cheer. But for his efforts he was given chai.  ”I’ve never been on a set where there is a guy with a little cup of tea at your elbow all the time,” said Braun. “He’s always there, until you take it or say no about ten times.” Except no one said no. They were shooting in early winter. No sane person who has spent ten minutes arranging slushy snow over bare  branches says no to the little bespectacled brown chai-wallah who wears monkey cap and Arctic gear.
Ammerman’s documentary is a gem, and one that will make you want to see Aap kaa Surroor. In fast forward, it’s not a bad movie and Himesh might be among the few Bollywood stars willing to poke fun at himself (there are jokes about Himesh’s nasal voice and his cap). Plus, this is the most cosmopolitan movie ever. It operates in a world where Indian “rock star” HR has sell-out concerts in a Germany where all the white people have Australian accents.  Not that you’re watching what’s happening on screen. If Ammerman’s documentary is your starting point, then you’re actually looking for all the things off-screen giggles that the Germans smothered, which is a good thing because I’m still entirely clueless about what happened at the end. It seemed like Himesh got his lady love but then inexplicably, the film finished with him singing “Mehbooba” with a shimmying Mallika Sherawat. Just to confuse things further, the credits have a animated video running alongside in which cartoon Himesh falls in love with cartoon Mallika at first sight. I suppose the trick is to not impose logic upon Aap kaa Surroor. As Braun said, “If you learn to adjust, you are free of all the rules.” Aum.

Kareena refuses to romance Shahid Kapoor, again

The lie of so-called ‘cool break up’ between Shahid and Kareena was exposed when the duo refused to romance in two new songs for their much-delayed Boney Kapoor film Milenge Milenge.

Though Kareena refused to comment, a source close to her says, “Kareena is more than happy to extend all cooperation to producer Boney Kapoor and director Satish Kaushik, but she won’t shoot an extra songs for the film. Shahid is a closed chapter.”

This has made hapless Satish Kaushik to use the footage for the two songs, which would be used as promotional videos. It is also said that the actors would not promote for the film together.

A music video for the newly-recorded Himesh track was also planned as part of the film’s promotion. However, there would be no joint appearances by Shahid and Kareena.

Shahid competes with Ranbir

Shahid Kapur’s transition that began with Jab We Met is now complete with Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminey as he has proved his versatility by giving outstanding performance in the film. Kaminey collected Rs 33 crore over the first weekend.

ranbhir and shahid

On the other side Ranbir Kapoor with Wake Up Sid was targeted towards the young audiences. The movie’s gross collections exceeded Rs 17 crore in the first three days of release. Ranbir Kapoor feels he is yet to prove himself. But a more serious Rajneeti and Rocket Singh — Salesman of the Year, will help Ranbir explore the various shades of acting.

Where Shahid has transformed his way with Kaminey, Ranbir Kapoor has hit the nail on the head with Wake Up Sid.

The truth is out: Slumdog India (ranked 134 out of 182 countries on human development) is a Third World shithole

Facts never lie, do they? Contrary to the shameless hype, hoopla and chest-thumping by the slumdog media about their shithole’s “economic boom”, “rising economic strength”, “emergence as a world power” etc. the United Nations Development Program’s 2009 Human Development Report confirms what the entire world already knew – slumdog India is a Third World shithole!

Out of 182 countries, the savage slumdogs are ranked 134 in terms of the Human Development with a score of 0.612 that’s even worse than some countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Ranked 134 out of 182! A sign of an “emerging power” and “a future superpower”? Perhaps the world needs to coin a new phrase that would reflect the reality about the land of the filthy slumdogs – rising shitpower India. What else can one expect of the slumdogs who kill their own daughters even before they are born? What else can one expect of savages whose idea of entertainment is watching bollyshit films that glorify rape and abuse of women? What else can one expect of uncouth barbarians who treat hundreds of millions of human beings as “outcastes” and “untouchables” and murder them for entering temples or using water from public wells? Shithole India is the world’s only shitpower whose shameless slumdogs are proud of their own status as a Third World shithole!

Infant mortality rate highest in India: Report

New Delhi: India has the highest infant mortality rate in the world, a nationwide survey reveals. India has slipped from 128 to 134 rank in 2009 according to a United Nations Human Development report…

…The high mortality rate is also due to fact that India ranks 171 out of 175 countries in the world in public health spending. What is worse, it’s the state in which the child is born that decides how long he would survive. Highest rate of malnutrition are in four of five states in India. Uttar Pradesh has has the highest neo natal mortality rate with 96 deaths in 1,000 births, followed by Madhya Pradesh at 94, Orissa at 91 and 85 in Rajasthan…

राखी- इलेश का लिप-लॉक किस

बॉलीवुड आयटम गर्ल राखी सांवत ने रियल्टी शो “पति, पत्नी और वो” की शूटिंग के दौरान अपने मंगेतर इलेश को किस किया।
हालांकि पिछले दिनों इस तरह की भी खबरें आई थीं कि इस कपल ने इंगेजमेंट तो़ड दी है, लेकिन शो से जुडे सूत्रों ने बताया कि वह उनकी स्टोरी में एक टिवस्ट था। यही वजह है कि राखी और इलेश हाल ही में शो की शूटिंग के दौरान कैमरे के सामने किस करते पक़डे गए। शो “पती, पत्नी और वो” के दौरान राखी ने प्रेग्रेसी के अहसास के लिए पेट को मोटा किया हुआ है। साथ ही उन्हें प्रेग्रेंसी के दौरान होने वाली तमाम परेशानियां मसलन सुबह को तबीयत खराब होना, पैर सूजना और कमर में दर्द होना का सामना करना प़ड रहा है। इस दौरान इलेश उनका पूरा ख्याल रखते है और कोशिश करते है कि राखी को कोई दिक्कत ना हो।
इस तरह अपनी मंगेतर का हाथ बंटाकर इलेश ने काफी एक्सट्रा पॉइंट कमाए है। साथ में बैठकर कॉफी पीने और बातचीत करने में इलेश और राखी काफी करीब आ गए और भूल गए कि उन्हें कैमरे पर वॉच किया जा रहा है। बस इसी दौरान दोनों ने एक-दूसरे को लिप-लॉक किस कर लिया, जो कैमरे की नजरों में भी कैद हो गया।

दादासाहब फाल्के पुरस्कार से सम्मानित होंगे मन्ना डे

जाने माने पाश्र्व गायक मन्ना डे को वर्ष 2007 के प्रतिष्ठित दादा साहेब फाल्के अवार्ड से सम्मानित किया जाएगा। डे इस समय 90 वर्ष के है और उन्होंने कई सफल गीत दिए है। भारतीय फिल्म संगीत में दिए गए उनके योगदान को देखते हुए कहा जा सकता है कि यह सम्मान देने में देरी हुई है। वैसे भी मन्ना डे मान-सम्मान के मामले मे बदकिस्मत रहे है। उन्हें प्रतिभाशाली होने के बावजूद वो सम्मान नही मिला, जिसके वे हकदार है। मन्ना डे का पूरा नाम प्रबोध चंद्र डे है और उनका जन्म 1 मई 1919 में हुआ था। मन्ना डे उनका पेट नाम था, पर यही नाम उनकी पहचान बन गया। मन्ना डे हिंदी और बंगाली फिल्मों के महान गायकों में से एक है। मन्ना डे ने कुल 3500 गानों को अपनी आवाज से सजाया है। उन्होंने कई गाने किशोर कुमार, मोहम्मद रफी और मुकेश के साथ भी गाए है। 90 वषीय मन्ना डे के नाम को पांच सदस्यीय एक समिति ने चुना है और 21 अक्टूबर को राष्ट्रपति प्रतिभा पाटिल उन्हें इस पुरस्कार से सम्मानित करेंगी। मन्ना डे का जन्म बंगाल में हुआ था और उन्होंने वहीं प्रारंभिक शिक्षा ग्रहण की थी। 1942 में उन्होंने मुंबई का रूख किया और कृष्णा चंद्र डे व सचिन देव बर्मन के साथ काम करना शुरू किया। यहीं से उनके करियर की शुरूआत कही जा सकती है। मन्ना डे की खासियत है कि उनके गाए गानों में हिंदुस्तानी क्लास्किल संगीत हमेशा उपस्थित रहता है। उन्होंने उस्ताद अमान अली खान और उस्ताद अब्दुल रहमान खान से संगीत की दीक्षा भी ली है। मन्ना डे ने 1940 में फिल्म “राम राज्य” में अभिनय भी किया और गाना भी गाया था। यह गांधीजी द्वारा देखी गई एकमात्र हिंदी फिल्म थी। 
इसके बाद फिल्म “तमन्ना” से उन्होंने पाश्र्व गायन में पूरी तरह से कदम रख दिया। इस गाने में कृष्णय चंद्र डे का संगीत था और यह गाना उस जमाने के हिट गानों में शुमार हो गया था। उन्होंने किशोर कुमार के साथ फिल्म “शोले” में “यह दोस्ती हम नही छोडें़गे..” गाना भी गाया, जो आज भी दोस्ती के लिए गाया जाता है। फिल्म “प़डोसन” में महमूद के गाने “एक चतुर नार करके सिंगार..” को भी मन्ना डे ने अपनी आवाज से गुलजार किया। मन्ना डे ने कुछ धार्मिक फिल्मों में गाने क्या गाएं उन पर धार्मिक गीतों के गायक का ठप्पा लगा दिया गया। “प्रभु का घर(1945), श्रवण कुमार (1946), जय हनुमान (1948), राम विवाह(1949)” जैसी कई फिल्मों में उन्होंने गीत गाएं। इसके अलावा बी-सी ग्रेड फिल्मों में भी वे अपनी आवाज देते रहें। भजन के अलावा कव्वाली और कठिन गीतों के लिए मन्ना डे को याद किया जाता था। इसके अलावा मन्ना डे से उन गीतों को गंवाया जाता था, जिन्हें कोई गायक गाने को तैयार नही होता था। धार्मिक फिल्मों के गायक की इमेज तो़डने में मन्ना डे को लगभग सात वर्ष लगें। 50 के दशक तक मन्ना डे एक मंझे हुए पाश्र्व गायक के तौर पर स्थापित हो गए और उन्होंने “आवारा, दो बीघा जमीन, हमदर्द, परिणीता, चित्रागंदा, बूट पॉलिश और श्री 420″ जैसी फिल्मों के लिए पाश्र्व गायन किया। 
आमतौर पर राजकपूर की फिल्मों में मुकेश अपनी आवाज दिया करते थे, लेकिन कुछ गीतों के लिए राजकपूर ने मन्ना डे की आवाज पर भरोसा किया। “श्री 420″ का “मुड-मुड के न देख.. मुड-मुड के.. , मेरा नाम जोकर का ए भाई जरा देख के चलों” और “बॉबी” फिल्म का “ना मांगू सोना चांदी..” आदि ऎसे ही कुछ गीत है। मन्ना डे की आवाज हर दौर में पसंद की गई। उन्होंने “शोले, लावारिस, सत्यम शिवम सुंदरम, चोरों की बारात, क्रांति, कर्ज, सौदागर, हिंदुस्तान की कसम, बुडढ़ा मर गया” जैसी तमाम फिल्मों के गीतों को स्वर दिया। उन्होंने देश के महान शास्त्रीय गायकों में शुमार भीमसेन जोशी के साथ “केतकी गुलाब जूही, चंपक बन फूले” गाकर अपनी सुर साधना का परिचय दिया। उन्हें रवींद्र संगीत का भी चितेरा माना जाता था। दादा साहब फालके पुरस्कार से पहले मन्ना डे को 1969 में फिल्म “मेरे हुजूर” के लिए और 1971 में बांग्ला फिल्म “निशी पद्मा” के लिए राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार प्रदान किया गया। मध्यप्रदेश सरकार ने उन्हें 1985 में “लता मंगेशकर पुरस्कार” दिया। इसके अलावा भी उन्हें पाश्र्वगायन के लिए अनेक पुरस्कारों से सम्मानित किया गया।
सरल स्वभाव वाले, सादगी पसंद मन्ना डे ने इस बात की कभी शिकायत नही की कि उन्हें पर्याप्त अवसर नही मिले या उनकी प्रतिभा का उचित सम्मान नही हुआ। उन्हें किसी बात का मलाल नही है। भारतीय सिनेमा में अमूल्य योगदान के लिए भारत सरकार द्वारा यह पुरस्कार हर वर्ष दिया जाता है। इस पुरस्कार की स्थापना 1969 में की गई थी। गौरतलब है कि दादा साहब फाल्के को भारतीय फिल्म उद्योग का पितृ पुरूष कहा जाता है और उन्ही के सम्मान में इस पुरस्कार की स्थापना की गई है। देविका रानी इस पुरस्कार को प्राप्त करने वाली पहली अदाकारा थी।
