Sonakshi Sinha Explores New Territory With ‘Kakuda’ After Marriage

July 12, 2024, 7:02 pm

Sonakshi Sinha, returning to work after her recent marriage to Zaheer Iqbal, discussed her upcoming release “Kakuda,” premiering on ZEE5 today, in an interview with The Indian Express. She expressed enthusiasm about exploring new territories with this project, describing it as a departure from her usual comfort zone. Sonakshi emphasized her interest in diverse genres and affirmed her reluctance to accept roles in films characterized solely by a few songs and scenes. Her commitment to meaningful and substantial roles reflects her dedication to expanding her acting repertoire beyond conventional formats.

During the interview when Sonakshi was asked if it can be challenging for actors if there is less work to do in mainstream films, she said, “Toh acchha hai na (It is good then)! I would like to do big roles, important roles. It is a good thing. Akira (2016), where I was the hero, it was like tasting blood. I never want to go back to doing two songs and four scenes in a film. So, I am enjoying this phase. Bring it on!”

She went on to add, “Kakuda came to me and I just found it to be such a fun read. I was very entertained while reading the script. Although I don’t like horror films, there was so much humour in this film. Aditya (Sarpotdar) is someone who has understood this genre so well. I think his grasp on it is fantastic. He kind of knows where to scare people, where to make them laugh, the punches, the beats, he gets it bang on. It was a pleasure to work on a genre like this for the first time with a director like him who is so well versed with it. So, I had a blast. It was me stepping out of my comfort zone, trying out something I hadn’t done before. I’d love to do it again because it was so much fun.”

Iconic Bollywood Dialogues Celebrating Motherhood: From ‘Ammi Jaan Kehti Thi’ To ‘Mere Paas Maa Hai’

May 12, 2024, 7:19 pm

The love of mothers is widely recognized as one of the purest and most unconditional forms of affection, characterized by their unwavering dedication to their children. It is often said that a mother’s love knows no bounds and that she would go to great lengths for her child. Motherhood brings both joy and fulfillment, but it also presents challenges and demands. Mothers are often regarded as angelic figures and the reason for one’s existence. In Bollywood, mothers play more than just supporting roles; they are central figures in many narratives. Bollywood movies are known for delivering memorable dialogues, especially those spoken by mothers, which evoke emotions and nostalgia, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. On this special day, let’s take a moment to remember and appreciate some of the iconic dialogues spoken by mothers in films.

‘Mere paas maa hai’

Recall the iconic dialogue from the late Yash Chopra’s movie ‘Deewar’? It has resonated with audiences and continues to be referenced in memes today. This remains one of the most renowned mother dialogues of all time. In the scene, Shashi Kapoor encounters his villainous brother (Amitabh Bachchan) who has become a police officer.

‘Tu abhi itna bhi ameer nahi hua, ki apni maa ko khareed sake’

Another memorable dialogue from the same movie. Salim-Javed Akhtar crafted numerous remarkable dialogues, making each scene in this film unforgettable. These scenes illustrate that a mother’s essence embodies selflessness and unconditional love, qualities that cannot be bought with money. Released in January 1975, this film features Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, and Parveen Babi.

‘Bhagwan har jagah nahi hota hai, isi liye toh usne maa banai hai’

This widespread sentiment conveys the notion that mothers embody God’s love and nurturing attributes. It underscores that mothers are often perceived as guardians, nurturers, and a source of solace, offering us security, comfort, and compassion akin to that of God. The dialogue delivered by the late Sridevi in the film ‘Mom’ resonates with audiences in a unique and heartfelt manner.

‘Ammi jaan kehti thi koi dhanda chota nahi hota’

The iconic dialogue ‘Ammi jaan kehti thi koi dhanda chota nahi hota, aur dhande se bada koi dharam nahi hota’ from Rahul Dholakia’s directorial ‘Raees’, featuring superstar Shah Rukh Khan, continues to linger in our thoughts and motivates us to strive for success in life. Mothers serve as our initial educators, and their guidance molds us into virtuous individuals.

‘Jab ladki jawan ho jati hai, toh maa uski maa nahi rehti sehali ban jaati hai’

Indeed, we girls often discover our true best friends in our mothers, don’t we? Another dialogue by Farida Jalal from ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ resonates as a genuine reflection of every mother-daughter relationship. These relationships can evolve and change over time. As daughters mature and become more independent, their bond with their mothers may transition into more of a friendship.

‘Maa ke Dil ko dukha kar aaj tak koi khush nahi raha hai’

Another renowned dialogue by Shah Rukh Khan from the blockbuster film ‘Devdas’ serves as a universal message about the importance of treating mothers with compassion and respect. It emphasizes that when someone knowingly or unknowingly hurts their mother, they not only inflict pain on the mother but also jeopardize the mother-child relationship, potentially leading to long-lasting negative emotions.

Katrina Kaif’s ‘Merry Christmas’ kick starts the new year with a bang

January 12, 2024, 1:31 pm

In the bygone era of Bombay, on a warm Christmas Eve, Sriram Raghavan’s “Merry Christmas” fulfills its promise, delivering a poignant blend of nostalgia and romance, along with elements of intrigue and suspense, offering a robust start to the new year.

Few directors possess the ability to authentically and affectionately recreate a glimpse of the past, and Sriram Raghavan is undoubtedly one of them. The exact date is left unspecified, but the unmistakable aura of the past permeates the narrative: a festive spirit envelops the city, streets buzz with low-slung cars carrying revelers, strings of shiny bulbs adorn housing compounds, dimly-lit restaurants with waitresses donning Santa caps serve vibrant red spaghetti, elderly uncles proudly present homemade potent wine, and a renowned South Bombay movie hall welcomes patrons into its dark interiors. The stage is set for the unexpected, and it unfolds beautifully.

Trailer

The introduction of Albert (Vijay Sethupati) and Maria (Katrina Kaif) doesn’t adhere to the traditional meet-cute formula of boy-meets-girl. Instead, it unfolds as a more mature, lived-in encounter, a series of serendipitous meetings that elicit grins from the audience. The first hour of the two-hour duration of “Merry Christmas” is marked by a continuous smile, as Albert, returning to Bombay after seven years, observes Maria’s struggle with her sleepy daughter and oversized teddy bear. He consistently appears until she eventually invites him into her home, creating a dreamy and magical atmosphere.

Despite the expected post-interval slump, it doesn’t diminish the overall experience. As Albert and Maria seamlessly navigate through the streets, sharing meaningful glances and building confidences, the audience roots for these two characters who have faced hardships in their quest for love.

Though an unconventional pairing, they manage to make it work, overcoming the inevitable challenges. Katrina Kaif, who has hinted at her acting prowess beneath the layers of makeup and glamour (as seen in ‘Zero’), convinces us with her portrayal of Maria. With her red lips and a seductive change of attire, she keeps the audience guessing about the innocence she portrays. Vijay Sethupati’s portrayal of Albert is outstanding, skillfully balancing yearning and caring as he engages with the charming Maria, dancing and swaying while holding the audience close. The pas-de-deux between the two is so captivating that one might consider watching the film again solely for this enchanting dance.

Director Sriram provided ample space for discussions before shooting, leading to surprising and compelling results in their on-screen chemistry.

In response, Vijay praised Katrina’s professionalism and shared his initial apprehensions about working with someone with a long industry tenure. However, he found her to be approachable and engaged in healthy conversations, fostering a better understanding between them on set. He acknowledged learning a lot from her during the filming process.

Regarding ‘Merry Christmas,’ the film’s official trailer garnered positive responses from fans. Shot in two languages, the Hindi version features additional actors like Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, and Tinnu Anand. The Tamil version includes Radhika Sarathkumar, Shanmugaraja, Kevin Jay Babu, and Rajesh Williams in similar roles.

While discussing his thoughts on the film with ANI, Arun Govil said in a statement that the name seems unusual to all of us, but it is a word of the Kashmiri language, and its basic meaning is that there is a lullaby that is sung there; it is a spiritual lullaby in which it talks about the relationship between God and man. So, this film is also about a relationship between a god and a human being, and a film has been made about it.

Darsheel Safary, the well-known actor from Taare Zameen Par, stated that he took a break to focus on his academics and polish his skills. He then joined a theater and has been performing for seven or eight years. Additionally, he stated, “The character I’m portraying in this film, Arjun, is an ardent Sachin Tendulkar fan. I’m also a Sachin Tendulkar fan. I can’t express how much I follow cricket; it’s all thanks to my father. When they approached me for this film set in Kashmir, I made it clear that I didn’t want any controversial or political angles involved.”

Vinay Bhardwaj, the director, described the film’s essence, emphasizing the importance of understanding family dynamics. He added, “It is a story based on relationships. It is very important to understand the relationships within the family. Nowadays, there are a lot of problems going on outside. If everything at home is okay, then only we will be able to handle the problems outside.”

‘Hukus Bukus’ delves into the confluence of cricket and spirituality, with the picturesque backdrop of Kashmir. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 3, 2023.

Dobaaraa centres on a mother who strives to save the life of a youngster who was unintentionally involved in a murder that took place twenty years earlier. The main plot of the movie is how a bizarre television set helps a girl and a boy get to know one another.

Taapsee, her husband, and their daughter are shown moving into a new house in the Dobaaraa trailer. The family soon learns that a small kid was killed during a thunderstorm in the home adjacent to theirs 26 years ago. Then, we see Taapsee’s character speaking with the same young boy. While the trailer does indicate that Dobaaraa relates the tale of how Taapsee’s character modifies the past during a thunderstorm, which therefore affects her present as well, it also teases the exciting possibilities of time travel.
