Big B turns farmer for a day


Big B turns farmer for a day

Finally, Big B ban gaye farmer. Amitabh Bachchan, who was in Lucknow with wife Jaya for the wedding in the Sahara family, devoted Wednesday morning to some farming.

Some time back, TOI had reported about the 15 acres of land that Amitabh Bachchan had bought in Kakori, near Lucknow. With the onset of winters when the sowing of the wheat crop begins, Amitabh Bachchan took a day trip to his farm for the same purpose.

Amitabh and Jaya, along with their cousin Bivender Kaur and her family (from Lucknow) went to the farm. Bivendra is Amitabh's masi's daughter. As Rajindra Singh, Bivender's husband, tells us, "Before coming to Lucknow, Amitabh had given me a call and said that he wanted to visit his farm with Jaya and his family, as now is a time for sowing, which he wanted to oversee. He was quite excited about the whole thing."

According to Singh, Amitabh had a try at driving the tractor too. "He drove the tractor for 15 minutes in all possible directions, and let me tell you, he enjoyed every bit of this drive," laughs Singh. In fact, Bachchan himself posted on a micro-blogging site: "In Lucknow for a wedding .. visited my farm and .. and .. plowed my land .. drove my tractor, which digs and levels before sowing .."

And after Bachchan Senior, Abhishek and bahu Aishwarya too may be making a trip to the same farm in Kakori which is also in their name, lets in Singh.

Amitabh, who met his sister Bivender after a long time, spent some quality moments chatting with her at the farm house. Later, the family headed back to Bivender's house in Lucknow where Amitabh feasted on his favourite dishes – makke di roti te sarso da saag – for lunch. "He just loves Punjabi food," informed a family member.

The Ganesha was originally scheduled to have been gifted to Bachchan at the Wieliczka Salt Mines, which was on his itinerary. Wlodek Czausow, consul of economic and trade affairs of Poland, who was part of the visit, says, “The hour-long visit with Mr Bachchan was very inspiring and interesting.” Bachchan gifted three books to the Ambassador. One of them, Madhushala, which had the English translation of his father’s poems, was a personally autographed one.

Rann - Watch it for Big B & the serious shift of Ritesh


What is it all about?

Amitabh Bachchan, this man has done it before and again he does it with tremendous ease. By his sheer simplicity of getting into the skin of the character makes an average film worth watching.

If you believe that in this era, one channel can force a PM to resign on criminal charges, which never gets investigated… If you believe that a channel can make an opposition leader the next P.M…

If you believe that the oath taking ceremony of India’s PM can be halted because one respected honest journalist is making some exposure in his studio…

Then you can hail RGV’s ‘Rann’ as a thought provoking, stark and sensible cinema, otherwise it’s a juvenile view of the complexity, hunger, myth of journalism based on the principle ‘To speak the truth without fear or favour’ which is loosing its credibility and colour by every sensationalism and scripted news items day by day. The prolific RGV who told us nothing but the truth in ‘Satya’ and continued to rule with ‘Sarkar’ fails to apprehend the true enormity of media blunders which we see everyday and can’t list them and forget very easily. But wonders like Jessica Lall trial or the current Shruti or even the thelka expose still remains in our minds. Rather the movie is a simple average neta media story on the surface of a T.V. channel where it doesn’t give the material or the audience much.

New Delhi Times, Surkhiya, Page 3, even SRK’s ‘ Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’ have tried to show us the insight of media some dared to bring the truth somewhat while others didn’t. Sadly, RGV’s ‘Rann’ comes with lack of evidences and sources that make you feel that you are watching a contrived social drama.

The Story……Of Course

One can easily imagine the drama as the writing lacks insights and details where Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) is the founder of a private news channel, India 24/7. A hardcore upholder of journalistic ethics, his channel is battling for survival. Jay (Sudeep), his son, looks at his father's news channel purely as a business enterprise that must make profits to justify its existence. He hates that his competition (Mohnish Bahl) is doing better than him. The story takes a turn when a corrupt politician, Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal), decides to use the channel to his advantage by using Vijay's son-in-law Navin (Rajat Kapoor). Pandey aspires to be the Prime Minister and indulges in a vicious campaign against his political opponent.

Navin is the most insecure man on earth and won't rest till he becomes the number one industrialist in the country. He, in turn, involves his brother-in-law Jay in Pandey's game plan.

What to look out for?

The movie is shrewdly made and is surrounded by some excellent performances.

Big B as the distinguished newsman who is a staunch believer of honesty gives a performance that makes this average fair watch able for the man’s sincere efforts.

The 5 minutes speech during the end moments of the film clearly showed the aghast, pain and sadness of the man who believes in honesty thwarting and refusing all the demands is now helpless as he finds his son on the receiving end. Big B’s pause and expressions are just brilliant and forces you to feel for the character where ironically the movie doesn’t.

Ritesh spunk’s a surprise by enacting a serious role breaking his mould from those mindless clowny acts. Sudeep is fantastic and spontaneous. Paresh Rawal does the villainy with sincerity. Rajat Kapoor is earnest. Mohnish Bhel once again proves. The ladies didn’t have much to do but still Suchitra Krishnamurthy gets more scope and shines. The movies intriguing moments apart from Big B’s speech are given by Rajpal Yadav who is repetitive but is still enjoyable.

Technical aspects are strong; the movie is well shot by Amit Roy where Nipun Gupta’s scissor work makes it look sharp and the background score by Debasish Mishra makes an attempt to set our mood.

What’s not?

Apart from the blunders mentioned at the start, the movie lacks details and takes too much liberties like Ritesh Deshmukh an entrant is immensely lucky to be a part of the channel’s board meeting where TRP’s and other important decision are being taken, he even voices his opinion and goes for exclusive interviews?.

Later on, he acquires the top position of the channel because he was the man behind the expose and what on earth makes the strong principal holder like Amitabh quit the job as a media man, he should have continued and set an example.

Big B’s speech should have ended the film on that inspiring thinking note but the call for the push and pull of commercial and sensible cinema makes RGV to end on a melodramatic and filmy note making Sudeep who plays Big B’s son commit suicide and a new entrant Purab Shastri getting the top position in the channel.

Where and when do we see the pathos of crusading reporters who selflessly put their principles above all? At least in the film it could have been shown.

And how on earth can a person decide the venue for his oath taking ceremony as a PM of India away from Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Recommended: ‘Rann’ is like listening to the just an average debater in middle school presenting a term paper called "Politics, Power and the Media.", this dumping down on the insights which we need to know and ‘covering’ it with a routine Bollywood drama of politicia and the media is for those cinegoers whose look for drama and melodrama and not the truth.

Amitabh to do news roundup on TV

Catch him discussing global issues on Dec 31

picture: Getty Images
After playing Auro from "Paa" in a number of off-screen events, Amitabh Bachchan now assumes the role of media magnet Vijay Harshwardhan Mallik from his forthcoming movie "Rann" and will appear on a TV channel to do a year-end news round-up.

"And we aren't just talking about entertainment-related activities," said the film's co-producer Sheetal Talwar who was present when Big B donned the garb of a news anchor holding forth on events of the year from the world on the news channel Times Now.

"And it was events from the world of global politics. Mr. Bachchan just took over the television space as though he had done news analysis all his life. It was an amazing experience," Talwar told IANS.

On Thursday (Dec 31) night the megastar will reportedly be heard talking on roughly six global issues of 2009 - Indian national politics, terrorism, cricket, swine flu, recession and Obama on an hour-long segment.

This would be the first of several media-related activities that the Big B is scheduled to participate in before director Ram Gopal Varma's "Rann" hits the screens on Jan 29.

Apparently he intends to assume whatever character he plays in his forthcoming films and promote the film as the character rather than 'Amitabh Bachchan'.

Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan feature on the cover of Hi! Blitz

Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan
Father and son are at it again. Mixing masti and work we mean. It's a big deal when Bollywood's apex father-son duo does a special photo-shoot for entertainment magazine Hi! Blitz.

So, what we have is an interesting cover picture (above) and an intriguing insight into the life of the Bachchan's. In an interview to the magazine, Amitabh says, "Sons are always linked to their famous father. My father was a legendary poet. I always grew up from a very young age being called, 'Yeh Bachchanji ke putra hai.' Abhishek has to deal with the issue of a famous father the way I had to deal with it too."

So how does Abhishek react to growing under his father's imposing, larger than life persona? "Pa used to tell me as a kid that Dadaji (Harivanshrai Bachchan) used to tell him that the day your son starts starts wearing your shoes, he stops being your son - he becomes your friend. As soon as I tried Pa's shoes when I was 11 or 12 and realized it fits, from then we do everything together, like best friends do. The first time I went nightclubbing in my life was with my dad in Boston," Abhishek says.

But there's more. The latest star addition to the family, Aishwarya Rai - Bachchan is also talked about. "Aishwarya keeps it very real around us. She never expects me to be different, and lets me be myself," says Abhishek. Like father like son. No wonder we can learn a thing or two about humility and freedom from Bollywood's first family.

Amitabh’s make over in Paa


I was amazed to look at Amitabh Bachchan’s make over as a child of 13 years suffering from Progeria in Paa, a flick by Balki. What do you think of that? Like his look? I was struck by the amazing dexterity with which the make up artists transformed the 60 something actor to a 13 year old child who is fast growing old due to the rare disease.

Amazing, ain’t it ?

PAA - Movie Review

PAACast: Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Paresh Rawal
Director: R. Balakrishnan
Rationg: ** 1/2

When a director takes a road less travelled, it means risk and challenges. Director R. Balakrishnan's "Paa" journey was difficult but he achieved what he had set out to do -- Amitabh Bachchan's not recognisable in the role of progeria patient Auro, his character is not over the top and the director has managed to convey the message about the disease without much fuss.

Auro's character is well-etched and Amitabh has certainly presented a new challenge for his colleagues by slipping under the skin of a 13-year-old with wrinkles, cataracts and no hair so convincingly. Not even once does his megastar image overshadow his character.

Big B has an author-backed role and his oneliners are the best -- if he tickles your funny bones with his comments in one scene, in the next Auro tugs at your heart strings with his emotional paradoxes.

Amitabh's make up is such that it doesn't give him much room to use his facial muscles. Despite that he conveys every emotion he is going through and as the movie progresses one feels a connect with Auro.

In the performance department both Amitabh and Vidya Balan, who plays his single mother, complement each other.

Vidya has given a power-packed performance as a woman who single-handedly raises her progeric child and try to give him a normal life -- she is never shown over concerned or fussy.

Amitabh and Abhishek's scenes together are both funny and emotional.

These are the finer points of the film.

But the film has flaws too. Abhishek is portrayed as an ambitious young politician, fine! But his media bashing spree is annoying!

Balki takes a pot shot at the media by showing that TV journalism is manipulated, but it doesn't look convincing at all. Abhishek's dialogues lack substance.

Except his sequences with naughty Auro, most of his scenes don't fit in the scheme of things.

But laudable parts of the film are P.C. Sreeram's cinematography and Ilaiyaraaja's music.

Paresh Rawal is wasted in the film. One wonders why he accepted such a role.

Jaya Bachchan is the surprise package of the film. She appears on the screen to introduce the cast and the crew.

Watch "Paa" for Amitabh and Vidya's brilliant performances.

Akshay in Bigg Boss 3 for DE DANA DAN, Katrina Kaif on bed rest!!

Akshay in Bigg Boss 3 for DE DANA DAN, Katrina Kaif on bed rest!!
Khiladi of bollywood Akshay Kumar who plays the lead in Priyadarshan’s upcoming flick ‘De Dana Dan’ and is already making waves for his sizzling rain song with co-star Katrina Kaif, will have to enter the 'Bigg Boss 3' house without Katrina kaif beacause Katrina kaif is ill.

Sources close to Katrina Kaif say that the firangi beauty has been advised by doctors at Leelavati Hospital to take complete bed rest for at least one week, which means she can not take part in any of the promotional events of the flick as it is releasing worldwide on November 27.

Though Katrina Kaif had been feeling weakness for the last few days but it deteriorated after her return from Udaipur. She had to visit a doctor at Leelavati, who diagnosed her as suffering from viral fever. Now, Katrina Kaif will have to rest at home for at least a week as the disease is contagious and may spread to other people.

However, as the release date of the flick is November 27, Akshay Kumar and other members of the flick like Suniel Shetty, Neha Dhupia, Sameera Reddy, Paresh Rawal etc will continue with their promotional activities for the flick.

It is as continuation of that promotional strategy that Akshay Kumar along with other cast members will enter the Bigg Boss’ house today and mingle with the inmates of the house. Akki is especially interested in Vindoo Dara Singh, who is also taking part in the reality show this time

Khiladi Akshay Kumar and others will remain in the Khandala house of Bigg Boss for almost fifteen minutes and then leave. The event will be shown to viewers by Colors channel in its Thursday episode.Akshay in Bigg Boss 3 for DE DANA DAN

Earlier, the producers of the film had planned to take the entire cast including Katrina Kaif to the house. In fact, Katrina Kaif was expected to be the main attraction of the show, but unfortunately she got stuck with her bad health.

In any case, Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif hot rain number has already created a huge buzz in the market and everybody wants to see this happen on the big screen. Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif’s sizzling hot chemistry in the song is sure to leave the viewers gasping for breath.

The grapevine has it that Akshay Kumar –Katrina Kaif rain dance is in no way inferior to perfectionist Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor’s rain dance for their upcoming flick ‘3 Idiots.’ Even though, Kareena Kapoor has a perfect figure and knows a thing or two more than Katrina in the field of dancing, Katrina’s sex appeal can not be underestimated.

Big B plays good son to AB junior

Amitabh Bachchan plays Abhishek Bachchan’s 13 year old son Auro in Balki’s Paa affected by a rare abnormality marked by premature aging

Abhishek Bachchan is all praise for real-life dad Amitabh Bachchan who is bound to leave audiences in awe with his performance in Paa. Director Balki who earlier directed Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum with Tabu got the idea of Paa after researching over the disease Progeria and also a certain day when he saw both father – son bonding, ‘The idea came when I walked into Amitji’s office one day and found Abhishek there in a very mature mould. I was completely fascinated seeing a sombre Abhishek and a playful Amitji who was lounging around. The scene I saw made it seem like Abhishek was the elder and Amitji was the son.’

Balki did intense research on the topic and said, ‘I read extensively about it and learned that there are only 40-odd cases of children across the world who are afflicted with this disease. It matched the concept I had in mind. So in a way I found the concept first and then went looking for a disease to match it. Not the other way around.’ Abhishek spoke of his experience during the shoot saying, ‘Paa was an unique experience, in fact the unique nature of this role was the reason I chose to do the film. The film gave me the opportunity to see how real life role reversal works. When Balki first spoke to me about the film and the concept he had in mind, I told him immediately, ‘I am on!’ It is not every day that you get to play your father’s father. It was great working together and he was a good son!’ Balki signs off saying, ‘The film’s USP is that it will be the only time when you get to see a son playing his dad’s dad and also the one time when you get to see a father playing his son’s son.’
