CHAK DE INDIA: SRK Speech

Well guys, I am back! With a bang! As I promised, I would come before this time I am doing so.

I am back here with a new dialogue promo of CHAK DE INDIA. It's basically a speech by Shahrukh Khan to his team. The dialgoues, written by one of my fav, Jaideep Sahni is brilliant! And so is SRK's rendition of the lines given to.

Given a chance, I'll post the plot synopsis and character sketch of SRK and the girls in a while. If you have already known that, you know that the girls are going through many hurdles for their entry in the hockey team. More on that letter

The track SATTAR MINUTE from the soundtrack is the feauture of this promo. At first, the preparation of a hockey match is shown and then the poignant voice of Shah Rukh Khan "70 minutes! You have only 70 minutes!" Then SRK gives an (awe)-inspiring speech to his girls. Various shots of the perils of the girls in the field is then shown. The clip ends with India scoring a goal!

Bad description, right? So you better watch it yourself and feel the magic.

And rate it too! Do post comments!

JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM Production Video: Kiss of Love & Polls

No. I ain't Aditya Chopra or any member from the Yash Raj clan. I am posting all Jhoom Barabar Jhoom videos though. Yesterday, I told that there would be a JBJ one! So it's here! It's the production video of the song Kiss of Love.

This is the song featuring Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta. The video starts off with Vishal's rendition of the song in the studio.

And then, the beauty (read Zinta) fills the frame and says,

Kiss of Love is the Kiss of Love!

Eww! what's that? I told you that she really looked beautiful in the song. So she's beauty. And without br*ins. (No offence intended, that's why the asterisk)

Okay, next choreographer Vaibhavi tells how was it shooting the song in the lanes of London ans studios. She choreographed it really well and Preity danced "very well". And apart from that Preity looks stunning with her costumes and make-ups. She has not looked so beautiful before.

And yes! This is Bobby's best look till date. Though he pretends to be over smart in the video. For the first time, cinematographer Ayananka Bose comes and shares his experience shooting the song. His camerawork is awesome (where's the thesaurus?).

Okay, now decide it yourself!

DON'T FORGET TO RATE THE VIDEO and POST YOUR VIEWS!

New JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM Video: JBJ & Polls!

Well, is it a JBJ month? 'Coz this June I'm constantly posting JBJ videos et al. Don't I have anything else to post? Yes, I do! But it's just for fun.

Below is a song from Yash Raj Films' Jhoom Barabar Jhoom where all the four leads of the film (Bobby Deol, Lara Dutta, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan) are dancing to the song JBJ. The song is just about okay according to me. There are no close-ups so it's not possible to comment on individual looks. But Abhishek "does" look bad. The past video (KoL, TtH) were far superior in terms of visuals and cinematography.

Anyways! Enjoy it now!

Now rate it!

How do you rate the above JBJ song video?
	Awesome!
	Very Good!
	Pretty Cool!
	Mediocre!
	Very Poor!

Poll: Does PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3 excite you? Xclusive Videos Here !

The movie from which I expected the most, has proved to be a downer. However, coming out of the melancholy, I observed there are more and more movies this season. But, interestingly, there are all the "threequels" (I don't know who coined this awesome term!) releasing in this May. On 4th there was the above one. 18th was the day for The Green Ogre (SHREK THE THIRD) . I heard that this movie has also declared a dud.

On 24th (In my homeland it's June 1) comes an eagerly awaited (if not most awaited movie) flick of this season, to fulfil my li'l expectations (Hopefully! Only despair has covered me these days). It's (there's no need to name, but have to mention for the sake of it.) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END. The third part of the trilogy. But the name is maybe a pun indicating that it's the final part. Hopefully it is! I don't them to drag on and on. If only it satisfies me.

PIRATES series is actually one of my favourites. For it entertains me big time without being very pretentious. It's foolish but it's fun! I don't expect a CITIZEN KANE or THE SOUND OF MUSIC from every film. There are some films which keep you entertained without getting "TOO MUCH" foolish or having taken audiences for granted. PIRATES are one such example.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL was a great watch. Especially for the awesome visual effects by ILM and rocking acting by one of Hollywood's best present day actors, Johnny Depp. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST had a "shaky" foundation. Nonetheless, the pace, better VFX and obviously the extremely love-able Depp were worth the money. It's a pity that he didn't get an Oscar nomination for DMC whereas he was better than COTBP. Anyways, the very last 10 seconds bowled me over just like DON did. Now I am hungry to know the reason of the resurrection. Hope they don't don't mess it up the Uncle Ben-Sandman style.

However, I don't expect A LOT. But it's my last theatrical hope this summer. So I bring you the exclusive videos of PIRATES 3 on this page. And guess what, it's just a single frame. You can choose any video you wish to see.

Now, I am going to conduct a poll. Answer the following.

• ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE?
• HOW ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE PIRATES THIS SEASON?
• DO YOU LIKE THE SERIES?
• SHOULD THEY END THE SERIES HERE COMPLETING A TRILOGY?
• DO YOU AGREE WITH ME?
• DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY?

Okay. Enough talking. Now watch this. Click on the VIDEO PLAYSLIST BUTTON TO GET MORE VIDEOS. NOW
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: THE WHOLE OF THE VIDEO IS NOT FITTING HERE DUE TO THE BLOG TEMPLATE SPECIFICATIONS. THIS IS ABOUT HALF OF THE ORIGINAL VIDEO. SO I DECIDED THAT I WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER LINK FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT. I HAD RUN A BLOG WHICH IS OBSOLETE NOW. IT'S IN """"MAXIMUM RESOLUTION HERE"""""

Personal Movie Review: Spider-Man 3 - An Absolutely . . .

This is my first personal review appearing on BUwH. When I t movie of this frachise it didn't make me flabbergated but nonetheless it was a good movie. When I saw the second one, I was completely bowled over by it. Be it the story or screenplay or acting or direction or VFX or everythings........it was a perfect balance. Since then I was a fan of the "friendly neighbourhood". See my previous posts, how aggresively I promoted spidey 3. From June, I used up all my hard disk space collecting HD videos and trailers of SM3. After a tedious yet exciting wait of 3 years, I entered the theater with bated breath. After thye screening was over, I came to a conclusion that it's an ABSOLUTE movie. I tell you why.

*ABSOLUTELY awesome action scenes.
*ABSOLUTE no action thoughout the movie. They come as ABSOLUTE compromise, just for sake of the ABSOLUTE trailer.
*ABSOLUTE nonsense emotions.
*ABSOLUTE useless sobbing.
*ABSOLUTE example of Hollywood copying Bollywood craps.
*ABSOLUTE example of shortage of a proper story.
*ABSOLUTE worst screenplay seen in a long time.
*ABSOLUTELY bad storytelling. Sam! What's that?
*ABSOLUTELY lenghty. It crawls and crawls and leaves a perpetual pain.
*ABSOLUTELY no acting from any of the cast.
*ABSOLUTE action & bad storyline ratio of 1:100
*ABSOLUTE useless scenes.
*The screenplay's so occupied to give importance to each sub-plot, that the sory itself becomes ABSOLUTELY impotent without giving any importance.
*James Franco's teeth are ABSOLUTELY annoying.
*Franco puts an ABSOLUTELY decent performance.
*Just like too much cooks spoil the film each of the 3 villain mars everything ABSOLUTELY.
*ABSOLUTE lack of smartness, failure to infuse humour.
*ABSOLUTELY brilliant J. Jonah Jameson (this man's always....)
*If you sum up all the bad guys and merge into one 100 times over, that doesn't ABSOLUTELY touch a bit of Alfred Molina-played Doc Ock or even GG!

*Thomas Haden Church has only one ABSOLUTE squirming countenance and is ABSOLUTELY abysmal.
*Topher has an ABSOLUTELY decent, not great performance.
*An ABSOLUTE example of bad and plastic CG in form of the black sticky thing.
*ABSOLUTELY badly created role and VFX of Venom.
The number of Sandman plotholes/ goofs is just uncounatble.
*I'm a diehard science student. I don't like anyone tampering with that. Okay, Thomas enters the highly radioactive science zone without a >440 v spark. And a demoleculizer turning sandman? Can't take it anymore. It'd take another couple of posts to explain. So better leave it ABSOLUTELY undiscussed.

**************SPOILERS HERE!*******************
*The symbiant actually comes from a hot burning meteorite, but still ABSOLUTELY dies of the fire in the end.
**************SPOILERS END*******************

*When Flint Marko (Sandman) is in the demoleculizer, everything including his belt buckle turns to sand, but the locket with the picture of his daughter doesn't.
*Tobey is ABSOLUTELY better at dancing than acting.
*About Kirsten, it's ABSOLUTELY the less said the better. Quoting another reviewer, I say, you wish Goblin succeeded killing her in the first part.
*Bryce, though decent, is ABSOLUTELY wasted here.
*Bill Pope (DOP) is the ABSOLUTE star of the film.
*Sound Design may win it an Oscar ABSOLUTELY.
*The climax is the ABSOLUTELY the most contrived sequence ever made.

*Sony should ABSOLUTELY think changing every part of cast and crew.
*If you love Bollywood massacres like DHOOM:2 and KRRISH, you may like it ABSOLUTELY.
*It's the WORST movie in the franchise, albeit a bit above the likes of KRRISH, D:2, SUPERMAN RETURNS, BATMAN BEGINS.
*An ABSOLUTE example of a Hollywood crap being produced under popular demand and super success of the prequels. You may know that the release date 5/4/7 was set before the release of 2. So they made it somehow without a thought and respect for Spidey fans like me.
*update: Some dialogues are actually lifted from this film.

To sum up, an ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT.

If you really love the makers of the film and yourself too, do yourself a favour. Buy a SPIDER-MAN 2 special edition DVD than to watch this. I'd do that. Though some jug head thinks it's better than 2. You can also buy SRK starrer DON, which has better storyline and action.

Poll: What are your expectations from CHAK DE INDIA?

• Shimit Amin is one of the finest filmmaking talents ever to emerge in Bollywood. He struck everyone with awe with his first directorial venture, AB TAK CHHAPPAN. His razor-sharp execution compelled us to enter the world of encounter cops. He made us uncomfortable by creating realistic situations. Then, certainly, expectations from his next are very high.
• Shah Rukh Khan, I believe, is one of the finest actors in Indian cinema. No I don't belong to his "fan club" nor do I believe in the "fan club" system. I simply praise his acting skills. People, I mean, his hater critics decry him by saying that he doesn't work without a Johar/ Chopra backing. They still say it even after MAYA MEMSAAB, KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA, CHAMATKAR, DDLJ, SWADES, PAHELI - which easily rank amongst the best performances ever in any Hindi cinema. Why did everyone hated his "character" in KANK? Only because he made it look real. It's a pity that he is "still" underestimated as an actor. "Oh-SRK-is-so-commercial!" is the reaction he gets. He is a natural performer. He is still underutilised. Don't you agree?
• Yash Raj, though is a full-blood mainstream Bollywood studio, had decided to swim against the tide in the film, KABUL EXPRESS after producing a total crap like DHOOM:2. Normally the expectation are there that YRF would make another path-breaking film.

So what happens when we put all them together? In mathematical language,
(LHS.) Shimit Amin + Shahrukh + Yashraj = Chak De India (R.H.S.)

The movie revolves around the story a hockey coach for a girl's team and a young Sikh girl who wants to join the hockey team but does not get the approval of her parents. You may already know that SRK is the coach here. The storyline sounds very similar with BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM (which is again a good film). But I hope (and trust them) that a director like Shimit won't come up with a remake of a hit "Indian" film. So it "has to be" different!

Now come to SRK's looks. He has been given a beard and is made look old. But, he looks very attractive. If poster is anything to go by, I think he will put forth a strong performance. Look at his eyes! They convey so much! I think I won't be disappointed.

There were alleged cold vibes and wars between YRF and SRK even a year ago. But the truth has spoken himself. The shooting began from August, 2006, after they both "parted their ways". Now the same media reports that Aditya Chopra's next will star SRK.

But will the film be a "COMMERCIAL HIT*? Probably NO. This kind of films don't work in Bollywood. Just look at Kabul Express! Just as because there were no "dancing-round-the-trees" and bad script it flopped. But just look at craps like DHOOM:2, VIVAH! The latter is still in theaters.

Even SRK, a crowd-puller has said,

I don't think CDI will be a grand commercial success. I can tell before a film's release if it will work at B.O. The same happened for Swades. I told Ashutosh(Gowariker) that the script was great but it wouldn't be a hit. But he didn't think so. Now you have the results.

But I "WILL DEFINITELY" watch this movie. I hits theaters on AUGUST 10.

Now tell me,

• ARE YOU LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THE MOVIE THE WAY I AM?
• WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?
• DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE A BLOCKBUSTER?
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY ARTICLE?

Feel free to comment!

Additional Scoop: From the 1st week of July, I'll start a regular segment on CDI, where I'll post exclusive videos and behind-the-scenes of CDI. Just wait till June 15/17 when you'll get the first theatrical of CDI online on BUwH.
