Ranbir Kapoor finds his new admirer in Paresh Rawal

0



Ranbir Kapoor, the playboy and classy actor of Bollywood abode, is quite a busy bee nowadays. Ranbir Kapoor is earning accolades and laurels by the minute. As if sweeping all the award ceremonies this year with his Rockstar performance wasn’t enough, he has now found a fan in an acclaimed actor of the industry, Paresh Rawal. We hear that the latter is completely in awe of Ranbir’s talent.

Recently, Rawal was asked to name that one young actor he thinks can become the next megastar of the Bollywood. He promptly answered Ranbir Kapoor. He explained that Ranbir is promising enough to become the next megastar. Citing Raajneeti’s example, Paresh said that everyone looked incompetent in front of Ranbir in the film. He was spectacular and terrific.

As much as we agree with your statement Mr. Rawal, we wonder if you meant Ranbir was even better than Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpayee and the likes. For him to reach the levels of these stalwarts, Ranbir will have to add a few more credible movies to his film tally. Also, it will be too early to dismiss Ranbir’s contemporaries. You never know who can show the spark when and become the new future of Bollywood. We think we will wait before we term Ranbir as the ‘only one’ as there are people who have the potential to go places just like Kapoor.

Post his success with Rockstar, Kapoor has made himself utterly busy with the films. He is currently working in two movies - ‘Barfee’ (with Priyanka Chopra) and a romantic flick made by Ayan Mukherjee (with ex-flame Deepika Padukone).

Of Zayed’s playboy tales

0
No one can dispute the fact that Zayed Khan is one of the best looking actors in the industry today. And these good looks have always won him fair amount of attention from the opposite sex. So much so that Zayed does not recall how many girls he actually dated before marriage.


LOVE, BREAKUPS, ZINDAGI Movie Stills


All these details are Zayed Khan's own confessions. The actor is kicked about the fact that his upcoming film LOVE, BREAKUPS, ZINDAGI sums up the experiences of being at different stages of a relationship.

Talking about his playboy tales, Zayed says, "My university days were great fun. I was spoilt for choice and it felt like a buffet of sorts. I have had my share of fun and can hardly recall some faces who I dated during those days."

Currently Zayed has two big reasons to celebrate, one is his film LOVE BREAKUPS ZINDAGI (his first production movie) and the other his second child. It seems Zayed cannot wait to let this excitement reach its date faster. As for his playboy tales, the actor fondly lets those memories co-exist in his current days too.

TIFF celebrates Indian cinema

0
The third day of the film festival commenced with Michael Winterbottom's Trishna, a portrayal of the plight of destitute women in India, and ended with Akshay Kumar's sport-driven story Breakaway


The third day of the Toronto International Film Festival was dedicated to Indian cinema. And this year's entries have perfectly complemented each other. Michael Winterbottom's saga Trishna is the British filmmaker's take on Thomas Hardy's harsh and melancholic novel Tess of d'Urbervilles, adapted to the social injustice that exploits destitute women in India today.

Akshay Kumar's production Breakaway, on the other hand, documents the revolt of first generation Canadian-Indian youth from their immigrant families in a sport-driven story.




Trishna stars Freida Pinto in her biggest and most ambitious role yet since her discovery in the 2008 blockbuster hit Slumdog Millionaire. Director Winterbottom's transposition of Hardy's story is overtaken by his strong sense of visual India.

Cinematographer Marcel Zyskind has incorporated a blend of landscapes and teams it with city life. Music composers Shigeru Umebayashi and Amit Trivedi have kept to a traditional music score.

Freida's look in the film epitomizes the Rajasthani village girl, with her tightly drawn single plait, unflattering salwar-kameez, and no make-up. She is the central force in the film. It documents her struggle as she tries to get her family out of poverty and her relationship with Jay, the playboy property owner of a five-star hotel.

While the film is an intriguing adaptation, the character Trishna is too one-dimensional in her submission to contain the heartrending denouement of the original Tess. Riz Ahmed as Jay, again an unresolved character, manages to convey the tragedy of his own aimless, cushioned life.



The next entry, Breakaway, made entering the old-world Elgin Theater for the screening a very difficult feat. Huge crowds lined the streets on either side to watch producer Ajay Virmani present a line-up of Punjabi dancers, an elephant on one side and on the other Akshay Kumar.

The film, which was scripted by Vinay Virmani, has a deliberate pacey, sunny-side-up look and feel, capturing the spirit of Punjab. The group of Sikh lads is led by Rajveer Singh (Vinay Virmani), whose ambition is to excel in Canada's leading sport, ice hockey.

His father (Anupam Kher) disapproves strongly, even more so when the sport leads Rajveer to become enamoured by a Canadian girl. The film opens doors to a cultural exchange between Canada and India.

Who? Katrina Kaif
Theme? Life inside a disco ball
Success? Yup. The inside of my head looks like this. Two thumbs up!



Who? Aishwarya Rai
Theme? One of Gwen Stefani's Harajuku girls lost her arms
Success? Hot mess. While Aish look divine (can one take a bad photo of Aish?) I do question the armlessness, though. What is that all about?


Who? Abhay Deol
Theme? 3am in Las Vegas
Success? There is a bit of a male model vibe but it's still a neat image - success!



Who? Akshay Kumar
Theme? PARKOUR!
Success? Another HOT MESS! I love his gleeful expression that says, "Imma kick you in the face real fast.



Who? Ajay Devgn
Theme? Too drunk to drive
Success? Meh. Only if the image comes accompanied with this story I made up about how he had too many mimosas at brunch and fell asleep in his car before he could drive it out of the hotel parking lot, so now Kajol has to come pick him up once she is done shooting for her jewelry ad.



Who? Abhishek Bachchan
Theme? "I'm a busy man and I need a powerful energy drink to make it through the day..."
Success? It reminds me of one of those print advertisements where we see a harried mom rushing around and then she reveals her secret is some brand of coffee creamer or energy bar or something. Pure cheese.



Who? Arjun Rampal
Theme? Look at my chest
Success? I actually like this one - although maybe it's because I could identify Arjun from his chest alone. He looks fragile... it's a beautiful shot!



Who? Farhan Akhtar
Theme? Art school senior project self-portrait
Success? If I was Farhan's art school professor, this one would get a B for effort. As a celebrity portrait... he's getting a solid C.


Who? Ranbir Kapoor
Theme? Houdini lives!
Success? Double hot mess! Who knows what is going on but I can't look away. I want to see him bite through that chain and rescue armless Aishwarya. Actually, can that be a movie?


Who? Amitabh Bachchan
Theme? Stars! They're just like us.
Success? YES! This one works because it actually feels effortless. I like the idea that Amitabh was surprised waiting to get his hair cut. He's a big star but he mingles with us doing regular person things. SUCCESS!


Who? Hrithik Roshan
Theme? Beefcake
Success? Only if one enjoys beefcake, which to be fair, is quite a few of us.


Who? Salman Khan
Theme? "Where did that deer go?"
Success? Oh, YES! I love this one because it captures Salman's utter indifference to both the camera and celebrity itself.


Who? Saif Ali Khan
Theme? Late night party turns into early morning debauchery
Success? Yup. This image actually gets me excited for Agent Vinod - love the rakish look on Saif. And that wedding ring is a nice touch.


Who? Asin
Theme? Chick lit book cover
Success? No. I hate these contrived "wacky" photos. It's not wacky, it's stupid. Who paints their nails in the middle of the street? That's really the best you could come up with for beautiful Asin? Chick lit?


Who? Shahrukh Khan
Theme? Travel brochure
Success? Stick an uncut loaf of bread in that bicycle basket and you have yourself a travel brochure for a generic European country. Where's the star power? Thumbs down from me.



Who? Bipasha Basu
Theme? Just woken up ****
Success? 100% yes. *fans self*



Who? Deepika Padukone
Theme? Yaaaaawwwwwn
Success? I'm sorry, was I supposed to be looking at something?



Who? Kareena Kapoor
Theme? Rock groupie
Success? Yes but only because of Bebo's expression, which says, "I've taken your guitar and if you want it back you will have to take it from between my legs." UNF. Majorly UNF.



Who? Kajol
Theme? Jewelry advertisement
Success? Would you like to buy a ring? Kajol looks like she's posing for a catalog of some sort. YAWN.


Who? Genelia D'Souza
Theme? Yogurt and/or tampon commercial
Success? Only if you would like to purchase some tampons.


Who? Priyanka Chopra
Theme? "Oh, hello. I'm just casually laying out thrusting my pelvis at nothing in particular."
Success? Only if this was Playboy magazine and she was topless - Piggy is putting way too much effort into seeming "effortless." Fail.


Who? Mallika Sherawat
Theme? Burlesque
Success? Interesting choice of a plain white background; at first I thought this was a dull image but the more I looked at it, the more I was waiting for that robe to fall off. This one sneaks up on you. Success!



Who? Vidya Balan
Theme? Topless art
Success? Meh. It's a nice image but nothing thrilling. I've seen better from Vidya.


Who? Sonakshi Sinha
Theme? "My mommy entered me in this child beauty competition!"
Success? HOT MESS! Maybe it's just because I've been watching Toddlers & Tiaras all week but Sonakshi looks like one of the contestants all dolled up for a glitz pageant. I LOVE IT!
