We are back! Yes, we know you guys missed us a lot. But what to do, we were busy with life. A separate post coming up soon on matters of life and more.

Sudhir Mishra is ready with his new film, starring Irrfan Khan, Chitrangada Singh and Arunoday Singh. Woohoo! Set in Delhi, its written by Manu Rishi. Though we dont know much about the story of the film yet but it seems to be on the lines of Mishra’s Iss Raat Ki Subah Nahi.

But Mishra is confused on the title front. The film was earlier titled Dil dar-ba-dar or DDBD! But it seems, by popular demand now the title might be changed to Yeh Saali Zindagi. Wondering why ? Because…

Zindagi pe tera mera kisi ka na zor hai…

hum sochte kuch aur hai….woh saali sochti kuch aur hai….

yeh saali zindagi…yeh saali zindagi…..

Yes, that’s the lyrics of the title song of the film. Its by Swanand Kirkire and music is by Shantanu Moitra. Sudhir has also released a small clip from the film to give you a feel of the film. Do watch and help him decide, whats better – Dil Dar-ba-dar or Yeh Saali Zindagi ?

Our vote goes for DDBD! Plus it seems like an ode to the cult classic Om Dar-ba-dar. If you haven’t seen it yet, you seriously have missed something. But then, Yeh Saali Zindagi seems catchy too, and if the duo Swanand-Shantanu has delivered a tkiller title track like Khoya Khoya Chand again, then YSZ would be damn good! Aha, we are also getting confused. Why blame only poor Sudhir Mishra for getting in that confused state! Plus any buzz for an indie film is always good!

Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Mani Ratnam wanted them together, Vishal Bharadwaj also wanted them, but for some or other reason the films never happened. The two actors are working together for the first time in RajKumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots. A new song from 3 Idiots, featuring both the actors is just out. Those of you who love dissecting the chemistry (or physics/biology) check out the video and let us know what do you think. 

The music of the film is by Shantanu Moitra and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire. The song zoobi doobi has retro sixties  club number feel to it and the intial hook sounds a lot like Main Hoon Na’s gori gori, which we love. There are few things which nobody does better than Farah Khan!

And if this rewind to bollywood’s sexy sixties club number is a genrae, then our favourite is Woh ladki hai kahan from Dil Chahta Hai. This song is also choreographed by Farah Khan. Bollywood is in her blood! Enjoy!

Whats wrong with Rajkumar Hirani ? Or is it only us ? Why is he hellbent on proving that he got David Dhawan DNA in abundance ? The first promo looked so tacky and now even the first song looks the same! Have a look.

Music is by Shantanu Moitra and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire. The film stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi & Boman Irani and is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. And for the synopsis of the film click here.

3 IdiotsIts one of the most anticipated films of the year! And finally here is the first look of the film! The trailer of Rajkumar Hirani’s Three Idiots starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi & Boman Irani. The film is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has music by Shantanu Moitra and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire. 

Earlier a 10 second teaser was leaked out. Now here is the full 90 seconds trailer. Enjoy!

And if you missed it earlier, here is the story/plot/synopsis of the film…..

Two friends embark on a request for a lost buddy. On this journey they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control.

As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend–the irrepressible free- thinker Rancho[Aamir Khan], who in his unique way, touches and changes their lives.

It is a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho college romance with the spirited Pia [Kareena], and his clash with an oppressive mentor[Boman Irani].

Finally, in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty, the friends[R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi] find the key to the secret that they seek.

3 Idiots is a comedy of ideas that is as provocative as it is funny, as wildly entertaining as it is insightful. A laugh-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits: self-actualization.

After Welcome To Sajjanpur ( WTS), Shyam Benegal is ready with his next film, a satire titled Well Done Abba. Its produced by Big Pictures and shooting of the film is complete.

It was earlier titled Abba Ka Kuan. But seems Big is following in UTV’s footsetps. Shyam’s last film was titled Mahadev Ka Sajjanpur and was later changed to Welcome To Sajjanapur for popular appeal. 

Well Done Abba has Boman Irani in double role along with Minissha Lamba and Sammir Dattani.  

The story revolves around Armaan Ali, a driver working in Mumbai. He takes leave for a month to find a husband for his teenage daughter, who lives in a small locality close to Hyderabad. Armaan Ali returns to work  after three months.  His young employer wants to sack him but is persuaded to listen to the reason why Armaan got so delayed.

 The film is inspired by two short stories – ‘Narsaiyyan Ki Bavdi’ by Jeelani Bano and ‘Phulwa Ka Pul’ by Sanjeev.  And Its WTS team again…screenplay is by Ashok Mishra, music by Shantanu Moitra and lyrics by Ashok Mishra, Swanand Kirkire & Ila Arun. 

 Ravi Kishen, Ila Arun, Salim Ghouse, Sonali Kulkarni, Rajit Kapur, Yashpal Sharma, Ravi Jhankal and Deepika Amin are in supporting roles.
