Ra.One updated with gossip

In the wake of the success of Robot, Mumbai Mirror has gone on overdrive thinking up ways to create provocative articles about Ra.One- the latest being that SRK called an emergency meeting after seeing Robot/Endhiran!

According to favorite yellow journalist Subhash Jha, his "source" (aka his imagination) has said the climax of Ra.One will allow viewers to play the Ra.One video game in theaters as they watch the film and how it's never been done anywhere on the planet -- erm... it's called taking out your cell phone and playing Pacman like I do in Midget Khan movies. What's so innovative about this? :-P

The other bit of gossip he relays (who knows if it's true or not) is that Martin Walsh (the editor of Chicago) will edit Ra.One.

The ONLY REAL QUOTE Jha has managed to get is from the sound designer of Ra.One, Resul Pookutty, who says "The challenge with RA.One is to create a balance between the two distinctly different worlds of gaming and movies. We met at Shah Rukh’s home on Sunday and watched the film. And yes, we’ve come up with a number of strategies to make RA.One different from all other super-hero films." That's it, folks, the only reliable bit of info. The rest you should take not with a grain but a bucket of salt.

Three awesome songs, overplayed BUT I love them anyway

Yes they are overplayed, but every time I listen to these songs I want to get up and dance! The rhythm, the joie de vivre simply lifts up my mood and gets me going. Of course it is no surprise that Gulzar penned each of these songs! The lyrics are amazing, soulful in the case of Chaiyya Chaiyya, and rustic and earthy in the two item songs. But the poetry mixed with the melody is hard to resist. Sukhvinder and Sunidhi have something in common, they belt out the numbers with incredible enthusiasm; but Alisha does a similarly great job, though in a more sultry, way in Kajarare.

SRK wishes Thackrey on his birthday

July 27, 2010

Shahrukh Khan, the Bollywood’s supertstar and the owner of Red Chillies Entertainment has wished Uddhay Thackrey on his 50th Birthday today.

Red Chillies Entertainment, wished the Executive President of Shiv Sena, Uddhay Thackrey, compliments on his birthday through a half page advertisement in Saamna, a newspaper owned by Shiv Sena.

This act by Shahrukh Khan is considered to be a move to pacify the angry Sena.

The relation between Shiv Sena and Shahrukh Khan went sour, when Shahrukh Khan showed his support for the Pakistani cricketers during the bidding of IPL 3.

Anurag Kashyap: On the verge of biggest coup of the century?

His first film was almost rejected by the censor board for its bold treatment, his consequent films have lifted the veil of idiocy and rhetoric that are part of Indian films and paens are still being written for his interpretation of India’s cult hero Devdas with his Dev D.
