Love Aaj Kal Latest Gossip and Reviews

Love Aaj

Jai and Meera are a modern-day couple living in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow. "These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type, janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books," Jai says. In real life, we have to be practical.

London, San Francisco, Delhi - 2009.

Love Kal

Veer Singh is struck by a thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that "is janam mein aur har janam mein... yehi meri votti banegi - Harleen Kaur." He travels a thousand kilometres by train to stand under her balcony only to get a glimpse of her face. And yet not speak a word with her.

Delhi, Calcutta - 1965.

Love Aaj Kal

Veer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion, like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh could have been so naïve and silly about Harleen in the days of his youth.

But as both stories unfold, we realize that the process of bonding in a relationship might be different in different eras - but the experience of being in love remains the same.

So there is the fun and frolic and despair of modern living, the liberation and confusion. And there is the past - the times of innocence and compulsion.

And there is distance, and the fondness that increases with distance. Gaps widen between two people, but bridges keep growing too.

99 Movie Review and some gossip on 99 Movie

The very thought of going to the cinemas gives you a high. The past five Fridays have been very unsettling, witnessing a few inconsequential releases, with the viewer looking everywhere but at the theatres. The practice of going back to a dark auditorium, the aroma of popcorn and samosas, comes to an end with 99, which opens at plexes and single screens, both.

99, helmed by Raj Nidimoru [Raj] and Krishna D.K. [D.K.], is a good looking film with some smart moments thrown in, towards the second hour mainly. In fact, it takes time to grasp things, the characters, the plotline. Besides, Raj and D.K. take their own sweet time to establish the characters, set things up and come to the point.

99 actually takes off in the second hour. From the time the lights are dimmed [post interval] to the time the lights are lit again [conclusion of the film], 99 keeps you engrossed in most parts.

The only problem is, it's too slow-paced at times and lengthy too, towards the penultimate moments. Just when you thought that the film has ended, another chase follows, which eventually leads to the finale.
Final word? 99 is smart, good looking and interesting, in parts. Quite a ride this, if you don't go with much expectations!

99 is set in 1999. It's about two crooks [Kunal Khemu, Cyrus Broacha], who run the illegal SIM card duplicating business and who get embroiled in a major mess when they rob a car and worse, meet with an accident. The car belongs to a bookie/gangster [Mahesh Manjrekar], who asks them to reimburse the amount.

What follows is a big chase, from the streets of Mumbai to Delhi, with a number of characters now entering the story.

99 isn't Raj and D.K.'s debut film, but it's their debut film in Bollywood for sure. The best part is, the director duo come up with fresh ideas to make it look different. For instance, the characters that you watch in 99 have been witnessed a zillion times before, but the small-time crooks [Kunal, Cyrus], bookie/gangster [Mahesh Manjrekar], match fixer [Vinod Khanna], habitual gambler [Boman], his cheerless wife [Simone Singh], slimy bookie/recovery agent [Amit Mistry], an over-the-top Bhojpuri film actor and the hotel manager [Soha] appear so different. They're definitely not caricatures. Even otherwise, the approach to the story [Raj, D.K., Sita Menon] and the execution of the subject is a notch above the ordinary.

Notwithstanding the plusses, Raj and D.K. ought to know, being avid movie buffs themselves, making the viewer impatient isn't a positive sign. The film is sooooo slow [intermittently boring too] at times that it tests your patience. The film vacillates constantly, from energetic moments to tepid/boring stuff. Also, ideally, the film should've had a running time of 90 minutes [99 minutes, if the makers preferred], not 2 + hours.

There's not much scope for music in the film and the song-pieces are well integrated in the plot. Rajeev Ravi's cinematography is eye-catching. Dialogues are well penned. Special mention must be made of the beginning titles, which are innovative. Cheragh Todiwala's editing is perfect in several scenes [sample these sequences: Kunal enters Vinod Khanna's suite in the hotel or the chase at Palika Bazaar towards the climax - well filmed, well edited sequences], but loose at times too.

99 is embellished with fine performances from an ensemble cast, but the one who stands out is Boman Irani. Here's a master stroke from this accomplished actor, yet again. Kunal Khemu is only getting better and more confident. The new look [hairstyle] suits him well. Soha is evolving into a fine actress. She's highly competent this time. Cyrus Broacha is, expectedly, funny and controlled. Film-makers have one more alternative while casting now.

Vinod Khanna is wonderfully relaxed, so is Mahesh Manjrekar. Simone Singh does well. Amit Mistry is exceptional. Here's a talent that needs to be lapped up!

On the whole, 99 appeals in parts, more towards the second half. The film holds appeal for the youth and should find patronage from this faction of moviegoers at multiplexes mainly.

Top 5 Reasons Bass Players Should Know Scales

Here's the short list of five top reasons why a bass player should know a bit about scales and music theory:

1. Know the layout of fretboard

When you know the layout of scale patterns it becomes much easier to create a visual map of the fretboard. It's like connect the dots. Since the fretboard starts over at the twelfth fret, it's a breeze to jump up to a high fret for a fill or solo lick. It's easier to do when you know scales because when you jump to the higher frets, you'll know where you're jumping to and what the pattern is once you get there. You'll never feel "trapped" in one spot on the fretboard again.

2. Develop coordination

Playing through scales is the best way to gain fretboard agility quickly. It's important to know scale patterns and practice playing through them often. This will give your hands and fingers muscle memory for those patterns. Being familiar with some different scale patterns and getting some muscle memory means the right notes will suddenly start appearing under your fingers before you even need to play them.

3. Quicker to communicate

Think of scales and music theory as a language or code. Notation on sheet music would be the written form. The point is that it's a fast way for musicians to communicate with one another. It makes it easier to explain an idea for a different way to play a song or tell someone how to play a song you wrote.

4. Play better bass in a band

Once you've had a chance to practice scale patterns and start to visualize the layout of the fretboard, you can listen, follow and react more closely to what your bandmates play. You will begin to get the notes under your fingers much faster. From practicing scales you will know the different sounds that different scales have. This becomes a tool you can use to identify whether the guitar player (for instance) is playing a Major or minor chord. Then just plug that scale pattern in off the root note. All these things make it easier for you to come up with your own cool sounding parts and add your own touch to cover tunes.

5. Learn songs faster

When you can hear whether a chord in a song is a Major or minor chord, you are on your way to having a developed ear. It becomes much easier to figure out songs when you have "big ears". This simply means that you can quickly recognize what it is that you're hearing and play it on your instrument. After that it's easy to figure out the root notes of the chord changes and then add in scale tones to taste.

Bass players who haven't taken the time to learn scales and a bit about music theory sometimes wonder if they should bother. The answer is yes, there are a whole lot reasons to learn a bit about it. For one thing, it's easy. There isn't really that much to know to apply basic knowledge of scales and music theory to the music a bassist already plays. Understanding how the music works makes it easier to control and get creative with the low end part.

Shah Rukh Khan accepts Aamir as 'Bollywood Badshah's

After his "rivalry" withAmitabh Bachchan hogged headlines, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is now involved in a repartee with screen idol Aamir Khan. Reacting to a recent swipe at him by Aamir Khan, he said on Thursday he was happy to be called "No. 2" of Indian cinema. Aamir had recently, reportedly, said he himself was the numero uno of Bollywood and Shah Rukh came second to him. To this, King Khan's reply was: "Aamir is a dear friend and if he has said that I am the No. 2 actor, it is a great compliment to me". "We have great regard for each other. He is 100 per cent number one," he said addressing a press conference for Indian Premier League. Shah Rukh Khan, whose recent flick 'Om Shanti Om' was pitted against Aamir's critically acclaimed 'Tare Zameen Par,' described the latter as "an intellectual and intelligent person". "We are completely opposite. The only similarity is that we are both Khans," Shah Rukh said, terming him as "a more instinctive and physical actor". Aamir, while talking to reporters yesterday said, "Well what can I say. Shah Rukh always likes to be in the second position". When asked that if he had a chance to interview Shah Rukh, what would be his first question, the actor said, "That's a tricky question. I would ask Shah Rukh how does it feel to be second after Aamir?" This comment by Aamir, who is best known as Bollywood's 'Mr Perfectionist', was widely interpreted as the beginning of a war between the two mighty Khans of tinsel town. However, Shah Rukh added, "Aamir said that in sweetness and fun. There is nothing to read more into it". { more... }

Who's the bigger Khan? Aamir or SRK

 Both Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan pulled out all stops to promote their home productions last year, and though SRK seemed to have topped the box-office charts in 2007, Aamir seems all set to reign showbiz in 2008.

Aamir’s forthcoming film, a remake of the Tamil thriller Ghajini has reportedly already made Rs 90 crore.

According to reports, the Indian Film Company has bagged the domestic distribution rights for the Aamir Khan-starrer for an estimated Rs 53 crore. While its home video rights, overseas rights and satellite rights have been sold for another Rs 40 crore. Which brings the grand total to Rs 93 crore.

“With Aamir at the helm we are convinced that Ghajini will be one of the biggest films of 2008, so it’s a fair deal for us,” CEO of TFC Advisors, Sandeep Bhargava said.

Till now, the record for pre-release movie rights was for King Khan's Om Shanti Om, which was Rs 73 crore.

The reported record price that Ghajini has fetched now puts Aamir one notch above Shah Rukh Khan as both actor and producer.

While Shah Rukh's Om Shanti Om has made over Rs 90 crore in its 15th week, Aamir's Taare Zameen Par has already made Rs 85 crore in its eighth week. This despite the fact that Aamir's film was considered a more niche product.

“The number of prints that we released for TZP is just 470 as opposed to 800 plus prints of most blockbusters. Yet the film stayed on the sheer basis of its merit,” Head of distribution, PVR, Gaurav Verma said. { more... }
