A must go movie for someone who love watching patriotic films

12 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

Sunny Deol gives a threatening and extremely angry performance as the honest collecter. There could be no doubt in the fact of appreciation from audience. On the other hand, newcomer Urvashi Rautela is refreshing and looks promising. At the same time Amrita Rao gives a good performance. The evil character portrayed by Prakash Raj looks convincing. The rest of the cast has done a good work for the movie.

STORY “Singh Saab The Great” tells us about Saranjit Singh Talwar(Sunny Deol) who’s an honest collector out to reform society. A character who’s spontaneous and takes pride in his honesty, he loves his family and is ready to do things that are morally right. The central theme of “Singh Saab The Great” is “Badla Nahin, Badlav”. Saranjit’s honesty is not

acceptable to Bhoodev Singh (Prakash Raj), leading to rivalry with him. Finally, Saranjit is framed in a case and blamed to guilty of bribery. He decides to fight the injustice and dominant corruption not by revenge but by reforming society.

Saranjit keeps it in thought that there is nothing great in revenge but the challenge lies in forgiving.

Director :

Punit Malhotra

Producer:

Karan Johar

Imran Khan comes up with a fairly decent act, but lacks certain intense expressions, required in emotional scenes.

14 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

STORY The story of Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is about Sriram Venkat (Imran Khan), a young architect and his struggle to cross a bridge... a bridge that bridges the love and gap between two people.

begins and ends at home. Whilst Dia felt that you have to be the change that you want to bring about.

Venkat is attracted to Dia (Kareena Kapoor), a passionate, strong-headed, young activist from Delhi. Venkat’s attraction towards Dia was physical initially but then got emotional and finally veered into complex territories resulting in a clash of ideologies and mindsets which drove them apart.

Bitterly. Sriram believed that charity

However Sriram realizes that he is not over Dia and still loves her and that she is the best change that ever happened... and will happen to his life. But Dia has moved on and is now in an obscure village in Gujarat called Jhumli. Will Sriram be able to win back his love? or it’ll be an unsuccessful love story in Venkat’s life?

Thanks to Kareena Kapoor, who breathes life into the movie and excels in her performance.

“

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is enjoyable and pleasant till a point, after which all your expectations from the flick goes crashing down, thanks to Imran Khan’s pathetic expressions.

“

Main aim of the movie is to entertain audience with comedy scenes but the very comedy part has failed horribly.

Out of all Rasas, Hasya Rasa is the toughest to perform.

16 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

Only Venkatesh’s performance and Ram’s dances and Jaya Prakash Reddy’s variety role are worth seeing. Heroines have no scope to show their acting talent. Even the Venkatesh’s funny dialogues of English were felt exaggerated some times to irritate rather than amusing. Brahmanandam, MS Narayana and Ali gave some relief from boring but they were understandably given only short time.

STORY Masala Movie is a Makki ki makki remake of Bol Bachchan without adding any Telugu flavor to it. Rahman (Ram) and Sania (Anjali) are siblings whose property is in dispute in the courts. As living at their native place became difficult for them as Rahaman do not have a job to survive. They leave the place for Bheemarajapuram where Balaram (Venkatesh) lives. Balaram is a powerful person in the village who can

never tolerate a person telling a lie but Rahman tells lies forced by the situation and goes on telling lies to cover previous lies. It makes his life miserable and a laughing subject to the audience as the film makers aimed.

What happens to Rahman who made his name as Ram when the truth has to be spilled is something to be seen on screen.

STORY The story of Venkatadri Express happens in one night. The family of Sundeep (Sundeep Kishan) is heading to Tirupathi on the Venkatadri Express for the wedding of his brother (Brahmaji). What happens when he misses the train will form the crux of the story.

“

Venkatadri Express is a decent fun-filled family entertainer

The credit for running a successful show goes to debutant director Merlapaka Gandhi, who has managed to get everything best in place.

As an actor, Sundeep Kishan, who has already proved, has reached another height with his perfect comedy timing in Venkatadri Express Rakul Preet Singh does not have enough scope to prove, but she has done her best to do justice to her role.

ANALYSIS Full marks to the technical brilliance. But the decision to watch Ilies between whether you love watching abstruse movies or purely entertainment flick. If you love to see the former, don’t miss it.

“

Arya looks good in never-before seen costumes.

Anushka Shetty looks wonderful at action sequences.

STORY Irandam Ulagam has two separate worlds and it is about the stories that unfold in a parallel universe. Ramya (Anusha Shetty) has a liking towards Madhu Balakrishnan (Arya), but he initially refuses her offer for marriage.

But in the dream world, Arya tries to woo Anushka.

After turning down Ramya’s offer, Madhu falls in love with her and approaches her to marry her, but this

time, she rejects his offer citing that she has found another man. How he tries to win her heart and change her stand form the crux of their story.

In the other world, Arya struggles to impress Anushka, who is a tough woman. There is also a plot of two clans fighting over Amma (mother love).

The story takes a little interesting turn when Arya, on Earth, meets the people of other world.

Villa without any expectation and enjoy the thrilling ride.

22 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

ANALYSIS Firstly, the credit for churning out a brilliant movie should go to director and newcomer Deepan Chakravarthy.

Performance wise, Ashok Selvan and Sanchita Shetty are just okay.

The biggest hero is editor Leo John Paul. His crisp editing stands out as a winner.

STORY Jebin (Ashok Selvan) is a aspiring writer. He finds it difficult to get a publisher and his father’s untimely death makes him emotionally weak.

His girlfriend Aarthi (Sanchita Shetty) does her best to motivate him and keeps his spirits high.

His father has left behind a villa, which he came to know from his family lawyer. At this juncture, Jebin decides to publish his debut novel on his own by selling the villa for a fancy price. Well, when he visits the house, he likes it very much. He changes his mind and decides to keep the villa for himself. When he plans to start his work on second novel in the villa, his life takes an ugly turn and leads to more unfortunate incidents.

Thira is a treat to the Malayalam movie lovers, who love something different from the usual. Sit and enjoy the two hour journey.

ANALYSIS Once again Shobhana proves why she is still one of the best in the industry.

The surprise factor is Dhyan Sreenivasan.

He just excelled through the role of Naveen.

Cinematography by Jomon T John is appealing.

Music by Shaan Rehman is yet another boost to the movie

24 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

STORY Rohini Pranab (Shobhana), who apart from her job of a doctor also runs an organisation for women which acts against women trafficking and helps orphaned girls. Things get into trouble when some girls from the organisation get kidnapped.

Rohini sets out on a mission to find those

who are behind her husband’s murder and who have trafficked the girls. On the same path, we are introduced to Naveen (Dhyan Sreenivasan), who is in search of his kidnapped sister. Naveen and Rohini meet by chance and come to know that they have the same goal. Rest of the movie focuses on their mission to find the lost ones.

Nadan is a treat to the movie lovers, with neat direction, pleasing music; and adding to that, excellent cinematography and some spectacular performances make the movie more impressive.

STORY Devadas, who is not happy with his marital life, is living separately from his wife Sudharma (Sajitha Madathil) and his children Priyamvadha (Malavika Menon) and Malu. In the flashback scenes, we are shown how the happily living family got separated. Devadas falls in love with Jyothi (Remya Nambeesan), who joins the troupe as a new lead female artist, which causes Sudharama to leave him. Rest of the movie deals with the tragedy Devadas faces in his personal and professional life.

ANALYSIS Jayaram has carried the role of Devadas to sheer perfection Remya Nambeesan as Jyothi and Sajitha Madathil as Sudharama are okay in their roles.

Music by Ouseppachan is perfect with apt BGMs and songs that syncs well to the mood of the movie. Other sections too, be it the make-up or costumes, all are well fitted and suit the characters.

STORY The movie starts with the love story of Ajay (Yogesh) and Arundathi (Bhama). They find difficulty to express their love as they are shy.

Like every other romantic movies, here also there is an obstacle in the form of a villain played

by Tilak, who will be locking horns with Ajay to win the heart of Arundathi.

Slow pace in the first half. Watch the movie only if you are Yogish’s fan or else avoid it.

ANALYSIS Camera work of Cine-tech Soori, Abhiman Rai’s music and the action scenes composed by Different Dany are the main highlight of the movie.

Yogesh is successful in doing the stunts, which is choreographed by Different Dany.

The movie is filled with the multi-talented actors in the supporting roles.

STORY Sweety Nanna Jodi deals with the story of middle class girl Priya (Radhika), who hates rich people for their attitude. Siddharth (Aditya) plays the role of multimillionare, who will be very affectionate towards his mother (Ramya Krishna). His mother will be separated from her husband (Jai Jagadeesh).

Producer:

30 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

Ramya Krishna will be more concerned about her prestige in the society and gives value only for money. Siddharth falls in love at first sight with Priya. When he comes to know that Priya hates rich people he portrays himself as a poor guy, and wins her heart. Ramya Krishna, who gets to know the status of Priya, tries to separate her from Siddharth, without her son’s knowledge.

ANALYSIS Sweety Nanna Jodi is another feminist movie with Vijay Lakshmi Singh’s direction. The audience will not be disappointed because it is filled with two glamorous queens - Radhika Kumarswamy and Ramya Krishna.

Aditya has played the role of a helpless man, who gets caught in between the catfight of his mother and love

Radhika is seen as a modern girl. This movie comes to her as a big break as she has proved that she is still young enough to play the female lead in Kannada movies.

Vijaylakshmi Singh is not only successful in giving comeback to Radhika, but also for Ramya Krishna with the movie.

Goliyon ki Rasleela RAM LEELA World’s classic love stories Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnu, HeerRanjha, Shirin-Farhad, set in different cultures have one thing in common - the strong will to unite and remain together against all odds. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest creation Ram Leela is nothing you haven’t seen or heard already, it is the old RomeoJuliet romance, reworked and set against the backdrop of guns and vengeance. But this one will hit you right in the heart.

Featuring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in the leads, Ram Leela is a high-voltage romantic drama, that will renew your faith in love. Cloaked in the violent love story, Ram Leela is a message that could not have been better timed.

WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013 39

In Focus Deepika, this is undoubtedly a fascinating year for her. She gets into prominence with another excellence through the mischievous Leela who willingly loses her heart to her enemy and stays true to her love even when circumstances change.

A cinematic genius like Bhansali, has undoubtedly taken an altogether different perspective in taking up a common plot as Romeo-Juliet.

Not just that, but redefining the epic love saga with an innovative twirl is indeed worthy of praise.

Bhansali caliber in causing to penetrating unnatural elements into every sequence accompanying striking brightness in ever frame.

The vigorously energetic elements into his characters and passion and sensuality in his leads is truly psychologically overwhelming. At the same time absolutely expected from Bhansali with his trademark lavish sets and excessively high dance sequences makes it all more glamorous.

40 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013

Ranveer plays the robust Ram accompanying not easily excited self possession while frequently moving briskly around in a well-shaped body at the same time frequently breaking into killer dance moves. Ranveer’s transition from a charming guy to a desperate lover is overwhelming

“

Bhansali creates a web of romance, hooliganism and rivalry, all woven beautifully and with great elan. Ram Leela is visually extravagant, sporting an amazing variety of colours, lighting and visual flair, showing off breathtaking and intricate dance sequences and exuding catchy and melodic music. For all its hype, grandeur, money, blood, sweat, music, tragedy, Ram Leela is a film that will be cherished forever in the history of Bollywood.

INTERVIEW WITH RAM You seem to have a very fresh look in the film…

Yes. Basically my character has two shades in this film and if you have seen ‘Bol Bachchan’, you will realise why I have a very different look in the film.

You have worked with a senior hero like Venkatesh for the first time. How did you feel? Was there any nervousness?

No, I was not nervous. I was excited. Everyone looks at things in their own way. For example, if someone is getting ready to do a bungee jump, he/she might feel excited or nervous. It is just the way you look at things. I basically get excited when I do such stuff. I had a great experience with Venkatesh garu. I enjoyed doing the comedy scenes with him.

What are your upcoming projects?

Honestly, I have not decided anything. I am buying scripts and keeping them aside. I am also listening to big banners and directors also.

Tollywood is currently giving more importance to combinations rather than scripts. I do not want to fight that trend. I will go with it but at the same time, I would like to do some things my way.

What do you look for in a script?

I really don’t know. If I like a script, I can tell you minute details even after a year. But if I don’t like it, I just can’t remember anything about it. When someone narrates a script, I will think about 4 – 5 different ways in which the story can move forward. If the narrator comes up with a 6th way, I probably will get excited about it. I personally like entertainment a lot.

Do flops upset you?

In the days after ‘Jagadam’, I was quite depressed. “preminchina ammay ni intlo oppukokapothe, entha depression ostundha ala undedhi” (Laughs). My career has a lots of ups and downs, like the Indian Stock Market. I am more balanced now and I keep learning from my mistakes.

Any regrets?

I can’t call them regrets, but the most difficult phase for an actor is when he knows that the film will bomb but is hoping that he is wrong. When I sign a film, I trust either the script or the director. Convince me or get convinced. I may not like what a director says, but I might go ahead because I trust the director’s capability. Some of them have not worked out, but no regrets.

(Smiles)

Who is your anchor in life?

From an industry perspective, pedananna garu is there. I am very close to my family.

Basically, an actor needs balance. There are instances where it is easy for you to snap.

For example, a relative might be dead but I might need to go and do a comedy scene.

So, there will be moments of eccentricity for an actor.

How do you spend your free time ?

I spend a lot of time with my family. I also try to come up with new concepts, be it in dance or with respect to scenes etc. I feel relaxed when I do that.

Anushka Shetty described by many as the go-to girl for characterdriven roles. But Anushka dismisses this statement with a ‘it all depends on the script’ line. She says,

“When you get a good script, and the director gives you proper lines, half your job is done.

That’s how I felt while shooting for Varna.”

Was there any doubt in your mind when you were offered the script?

I would have hated it if someone else got to play my character. The minute I heard the script, I was floored. And I told myself there was no way I am missing this opportunity.

The schedule in Georgia must have been one experience The biggest storm in Georgia happened when we were there and the President had to come down to give the citizens moral support. It was also the first time that I shot at a place that was so cut off from civilisation. We were shooting at Datlo, which is seven hours away from Telavi, and even to buy basic necessities, we had to travel back to the city. The road that leads to this place is also interesting; it’s hidden by waterfall and we had to wait for the right moment to cross it!

Tell us about the characters you play One of the roles I play is that of a doctor. She is head-over-heels in love with the hero, and is always behind him. The other character I play is a lot stronger. She’s very different, rebellious and outspoken.

The chemistry between you and Arya comes across as raw and sizzling It’s a pucca love story, and we have some really interesting sequences. Arya is a great actor to work with. He’s friendly, and I had a great time working with him WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | December 2013 67

Bollywood lacks good styling says Lisa Haydon Model-turned-actress Lisa Haydon In an interview, she shares her opinion on films, fashion, beauty, and more .

“My personal style is more on the

lines of bohemian. Style for me should be expressive and not intimidating. It is very important to dress where your personality is highlighted and not the brand or label you’re wearing. As far as Bollywood is concerned, they are getting fashion-conscious but it still needs good styling.

Don’t compare my style with Lady Gaga:Kangana Kangana Ranaut makes many quirky fashion statements, and her style is sometimes also compared to that of international singer Lady Gaga. However, the Bollywood actress says comparison is not right.

“Comparisons keep happening. I don’t think I should be compared with Lady Gaga because I am an actress and she is a pop star,” the 26-year-old said here at the Blenders Pride Fashion Week.
