Story :

(Aditya Roy Kapoor) and Tara
(Shraddha Kapoor) meet
each other unusually and fall
in love. While Adi is a video
game developer, Tara is an
architect. The duo decide to
live in a relationship and Tara

(Naseeruddin Shah). Six months
after their relationship, time
comes that Adi has to fly to Los
Angeles for his profession and
Tara gets an admission in Paris
for further studies. It is during
this time, they realize their love
and the rest of Ok Jaanu is what
happens next.
Ok Jaanu is
a romantic
entertainer which
dips down badly
during the second
half. It can be
given a shot for
the romantic
drama and the
performances by
the lead actors.
Ok Jaanu
2.5

Analysis :
The film starts on a
fresh note however the
Bollywood audience
witnessed many similar
films in the past. It is
the performances which
make the film going and
the songs are completely
melodious and have
presented well on screen.
The interval episodes
make the film interesting
however the entire first half
of Ok Jaanu is completely
predictable.
The second half of Ok
Jaanu dips down badly
after a convincing and
interesting first half. The
movie turns emotional
and the dose of sentiment
leave the audience
irritated. The pace slows
down as time proceeds
and the pre-climax
episodes spoil the entire
film’s flavour. The climax
of Ok Jaanu has been
positive however the
second half of Ok Jaanu is
a huge disappointment.
Final Word:
Ok Jaanu is a romantic
entertainer which dips
down badly during the
second half. It can be
given a shot for the
romantic drama and the
performances by the lead
actors.

Raees
3/

Analysis :
The first half of Raees has
been extremely perfect and
starts off explaining the
character of Raees. Each
and everything has been
taken huge care. The film
shifts from action to romance
and then to politics without
any flaws which will sure
entertain the audience of
all the classes. The interval
episodes make the film quite
interesting and the songs
have been shot extremely
well. On the whole the first
half is a package of perfect
commercial drama.
The second half turns dull
at parts and it dips down
however the film picks up
again at the much needed
time. The dose of action
reaches the peaks during
the second half and the
dialogues in the film have
been well written and should
be mentioned specially.
Once again the songs have
been extremely well shot and
placed well. The climax looks
dragged however the second
half of Raees makes a perfect
watch.
Final Word:
Raees is a perfect
commercial entertainer
which has been blended
with enough dose of action,
entertainment and romance.
A perfect watch this weekend.
SRK and Nawazuddin steal

Analysis :
The first half of the film has
been filled with Megastar’s
thumping acts which are
the major highlights of
the film. The movie goes
on slow pace however it
is the entertainment that
carries the film completely
forward. The songs have
been shot exceptionally well

time.

turns serious and reveals
many interesting logics.
Though the villain’s character
looks weak, Khaidi No
150 manages to stand tall
throughout and the movie
slows down during the pre-
climax episodes. The climax
has been absolutely perfect
and on the whole, Khaidi
No 150 has a stupendous
second half which is apt
for the comeback film of
Megastar who aimed a
commercial entertainer.

Legendary actor Nandamuri Balakrishna inched the
magical mark of his 100th film and the whole Tollywood
was eagerly waiting for the film. It was a surprise but

mother in the movie.
Sultan happened to be the biggest
opener of 2016 and the movie
collected Rs 36.5 crores across the
country on its first day.
Sultan happened to mint Rs
20 crores through advance
bookings which is the highest
ever for any Indian film.
Krish surprised everyone as
he wrapped up the shoot of
the film in just 79 days. The
movie unit assigned the VFX
work to several upcoming
firms and they worked parallel
with Krish and wrapped up the
work on time. Gautamiputra

Hrithik Roshan

Exclusive Interview
I don’t know. I think I get
very drawn to them because
something about these
characters resonates with
me. I understand the pain,
their frustration and probably
that’s why I get drawn to
such characters. Also, the
fact that it’s not just the
character, these were scripts
that I really enjoyed and
therefore, the films, too.
It’s not just the fact that the
character is handicapped.
How do you manage
such intense,
challenging roles?
I don’t know any other way
to do it. If I don’t immerse
myself completely into my
character, I don’t think I will
be able to do it well or even
say the dialogues. I will be
worse than a non-actor, so,
the difference will be that
much. I have to immerse
myself in that character to
that extent, so I can live it.
Isn’t it draining to
play such characters,
film after film?
On the contrary, it’s intensely
fulfilling and satisfying. It’s
not the act of emptying so
much as venting what is
inside you. And when you

do that, you feel satisfaction,
satiated and experience a
sense of fulfillment. You feel
peaceful. So, it’s cathartic in
many ways.
Was it more difficult
playing the visually
impaired character in
Kaabil than let’s say,
the character from
Koi Mil Gaya?
Yes, because your entire
world is what you see. My
brain has to dissociate from
what is happening in front
of me, even though I’m not
blind and to pretend that I am
not being stimulated by light
or not reacting to something
that’s moving really quickly
right across my face or a fly
that is lurking right in front
of my face. To not react to
these things are spaces
where you need to develop
your skill to overpower your
instincts. Your instinct will be
to flinch and react to a bright
light, to not frown when you
are shooting in a really hot,
bright, afternoon. You will
squint. All these were the
challenges of playing a blind
guy. I got a lot of help from
Sudeep, the cameraman and
we managed. But yes, this
was definitely tougher.
What was the most
difficult thing about
Kaabil?
Nothing was ‘most difficult’.
Everything was difficult and
everything was so easy.
The difficult part was the
blind parts — doing action
scenes and dancing as a
blind person. We prepped for
it beforehand and that was
so enjoyable! There was so
much passion for this film,
to build this film and make it.
Working with Yami Gautam
was wonderfully bright and
invigorating! That all came
from the script and everybody
was so passionate about

Exclusive Interview
doing something very special. So
everything just worked out and the
most difficult thing became very
easy.
Did SRK’s announcement
that he’d be releasing
Raees the same day as
Kaabil shock or hurt you,
since the two of you are
close friends?
No. I was not shocked. I thought
that any good businessman
would do the same thing. They
are allowed to do that. I am not in
their shoes. First of all, we would
not have announced on someone
else’s date, but that’s the way it is.
They may have been in a genuine
problem. I have the understanding
as a human being and as a
businessman that what they are
doing is the best that they could
have done for their film. Friendship
is in one place and business is at
another. You have to understand
that this is an industry and money
matters.
Did you call SRK to try
and sort it out?
Yes, yes, even Shah Rukh has tried
to not clash. He spoke to my dad.
I sat and spoke with him about this
and I guess he put his best effort
out there and it was not possible… It
won’t affect our friendship. On the
contrary, this will lead to a better
understanding of each other, which
will lead to a better friendship, also.
You always seem so gracious and
positive…
There is no other better way to
see it. What’s the other choice? I
cannot be upset! They have a film
on release and they have to do the
best that they can, so once you
empathize, you understand.
Have you signed any new
films post Kaabil, including
Karan Malhotra’s next
with Sara Ali Khan?
No. Those are just rumours. There
have just been talks, but I haven’t
signed anything yet. I am looking
for work (laughs)!
Do you see yourself
directing in the future?
No. Never. I don’t think I can. I don’t
know why… I don’t have the calling
to direct. I don’t write scripts. I can
think, but I know that the internal
calling is not there so till that is not
there, I can’t do it. I enjoy every
aspect of filmmaking — including
post production from editing,
sound, design, visuals, VFX and
dubbing, I don’t just enjoy acting
but the entire film as a whole. I
cannot just do my scenes and say
goodbye.

unrecognised. This is the story
of Saket Ram, as narrated by his
grandson. The film takes place as
Ram, a retired archaeologist, lies
on the deathbed, on 6 December
1999, the 7th anniversary of the
destruction of Babri Mosque in
Ayodhya.
Kamal Haasan, Shah Rukh Khan,
Rani Mukerji, Hema Malini and Atul
Kulkarni played the lead roles in the
movie. The shooting was started
in Madhava Perumal Temple,
Mylapore. Originally, violinist
L. Subramaniam was selected
as composer for the film but he
opted out after which Ilayaraaja
was selected as a composer. His
background score was recorded
by a Symphony Orchestra for the
second time for an Indian film,
the first time being by Ilaiyaraaja
himself three years before for the
Malayalam epic fantasy Guru.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan did not
ask for any remuneration from
Kamal Haasan as he considered
it an honour and privilege to work
with one of his mentors. Haasan
initially intended to title the film
as Satya Sodanai, which loosely
translates to My Experiments
With Truth, the title of Gandhi's
autobiography.
