<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yash Raj Films’ <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/shuddh-desi-romance-review/" target="_blank"><em>Shuddh Desi Romance</em></a>, starring <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actress/parineeti-chopra/" title="Parineeti Chopra">Parineeti Chopra</a>-<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/sushant-singh-rajput/" title="Sushant Singh Rajput">Sushant Singh Rajput</a>-<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actress/vaani-kapoor/" title="Vaani Kapoor">Vaani Kapoor</a>, is going great at the Domestic Box Office. This rom-com came up with impressive collections on Day 4 i.e. 1st Monday.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to early estimates, <em>Shuddh Desi Romance</em> made a business of <strong>4.50-4.75 crores</strong> yesterday, taking its domestic total to <strong>27.50-27.75 crores</strong> at the Box Office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The movie was earlier released on 1050 screens, however, due to a dull response coming from<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/zanjeer-review/" target="_blank"><em> Zanjeer</em></a>, which too released with <em>SDR</em> but on a larger scale, many distributors across the country had to replace the later with <em>Shuddh Desi Romance</em>. This helped the movie to pick up further indeed!</div>

Amidst a flurry of heavy promotional sprees ensuring their film gets noticed everywhere, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/grand-masti/" target="_blank"><em>Grand Masti</em></a> makers have landed into a new trouble altogether. The Indianised version of an American Pie and Boogie Nights inspired sex comedy, <em>Grand Masti</em>, needless to say, is filled with lots of adulterated jokes and toiler humour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A promo that almost caused a sensation taking the cheeky double meanimg dialogue status to an all time high with references as unccoth and derogatory as a <em style="text-align: justify;">doodh ki factory </em>or a condom with a <em>kela</em>, Inder Kumar’s revamped edition brings back three friends Vivek, Aftab and Ritesh back to their college reunion where their sexcapades run high.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_238606" style="width: 410px;">
<img alt="Grand Masti Movie Poster" class="size-full wp-image-238606" height="543" src="http://cdn.koimoi.com/wp-content/new-galleries/2013/09/Grand-Masti-movie-Poster-Pics-.jpg" title="Grand Masti Movie Poster" width="400" /><div class="wp-caption-text">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the trio are busy trying the bahar ka biryani more than the ghar ki daal chaawal, the total encounters with <em>Rose-Mary-Marlow</em> (we know what you are thinking!) keep their rockets flying high up (winks). But all this extra dose of sexual perversion and double meaning cheap jokes has just added to the makers’ dilemmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to reports, a lawyer has filed a petition against the film and its makers accusing the film of containing cheap adult content that are derogatory to the status quo of women in India. As a result of which, <em>Grand Masti</em> might not see a release in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. Tagging the content of the sequel to the 2004 hit <em>Masti</em> ‘obscene and degrading’, the lawyer has also referred to the Central Board of Film Certification to reconsider their decision of releasing the film worldwide. Earlier films like <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/kyaa-super-kool-hain-hum-review/"><em>Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum</em></a> and its predecessor <em>Kya Kool Hai Hum</em> had also set a benchmark for cracking us up with sexual PJs as we laughed it out altogether.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film is all set for a September 13 release and the hype around the film is somewhat positive, given the theme of the film being a catchpoint to attract masses to the cinema theatres. Now all that needs to be seen is how the <em>Grand Masti </em>team actually battles it out to have a proper release in these hostile regions as well. And if not, how would this negative publicity affect the collections of the film. <em>Grand Masti</em> stars <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/vivek-oberoi/" title="Vivek Oberoi">Vivek Oberoi</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/aftab-shivdasani/" title="Aftab Shivdasani">Aftab Shivdasani</a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/ritesh-deshmukh/" title="Ritesh Deshmukh">Ritesh Deshmukh</a> in the lead along with six other heroines who trudge form the pretty to the bombshell</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It comes across as quite a shock that copyright infringement issues are dealt with loosely in the Indian scenario. With reference to the case on <em>Zanjeer</em> by the original script’s writers Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan, the court has refused the stay order on the film. Made originally by Prakash Mehra, the writer duo claimed that Mehra had taken permission to use their script once only. On the same grounds the writers had qualms, that a distant kin of Mehra is remaking a film based on one of <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/amitabh-bachchan/" title="Amitabh Bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</a>’s most iconic films!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is quite shameful that there is such little respect for creative property in our country.<em> Zanjeer</em>‘s makers, despite being aware that the script writers of the original script has issues with their film being remade still decided to carry forward with is alarmingly shocking.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_236026" style="width: 530px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The entire point of a remake is perhaps giving tribute to a work of art that the film maker has taken a liking to out of great love and respect. But it is somehow hard to find out how the makers of this edition of <em>Zanjeer</em> are ‘respecting’ the writers of the script they have decided to work on, by miffing them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the writer duo of Khan and Akhtar aren’t flawless either. The film’s making was in rounds since 2011 and they did not object till mid-2012. The delay here has caused them harm on the legal front.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fact remains that the team associated with<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/zanjeer-2013/" target="_blank"><em> Zanjeer 2013</em></a> has least regard for the work of two of Bollywood’s most distinguished film writers. In the end, the film is based on Salim-Javed’s script and making a film on it without their permission itself is a brash and irreverent move. A film belongs to its writers more than anyone else and at any point they must have possess the immediate intellectual rights on the property they has toiled to create.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bollywood anyway has little regard for originality and fresh cinematic vision, but it is sad that the makers of this film were compelled to work on a film against the wishes of those without whom the film wouldn’t have seen the light of the day! <em>Zanjeer 2013</em> amist all the pomp and show has its morals misplaced!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deemed as one of Bollywood’s most impressive comic capers, talks about the sequel of <em>Andaz Apna Apna</em> has been doing rounds for a while now. However, with <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/rajkumar-santoshi/" title="Rajkumar Santoshi">Rajkumar Santoshi</a> readying to release next next film <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/phata-poster-nikhla-hero/" target="_blank"><em>Phata Poster Nikhla Hero</em></a> starring <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/shahid-kapoor/" title="Shahid Kapoor">Shahid Kapoor</a> and Ileana D’Cruz, there is also fleeting news that the director might shift his focus on <em>Andaz Apna Apna 2</em> soon after.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_236696" style="width: 538px;">
<img alt="Ranbir Kapoor And Shahid Kapoor" class="size-full wp-image-236696" height="332" src="http://cdn.koimoi.com/wp-content/new-galleries/2013/09/Ranbir-Shahid-to-go-the-Aamir-Salman-way-for-Andaz-Apna-Apna-sequel-Pic-1.jpg" title="Ranbir Kapoor And Shahid Kapoor" width="528" /><div class="wp-caption-text">
<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/ranbir-kapoor/" title="Ranbir Kapoor">Ranbir Kapoor</a> And Shahid Kapoor</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make the sequel more commercially viable, the director is looking to loop in younger stars. A leading daily reported that Santoshi is considering Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor for the roles that <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/aamir-khan/" title="Aamir Khan">Aamir Khan</a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/salman-khan/" title="Salman Khan">Salman Khan</a> have immortalized as Amar and Prem. Rajkumar Santoshi has worked with Ranbir previously in <em>Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani</em> that did fairly well the box office and he seems adequately satisfied with Shahid’s work in<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/phata-poster-nikhla-hero/"> <em>Phata Poster Nikhla Hero</em></a> as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, nothing official has been announced yet as the director has immersed himself in promoting his upcoming flick <em>PPNH</em> and will look into the final script and casting of <em>Andaz Apna Apna</em> only after that!</div>

It seems the audiences are really liking <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/prakash-jha/" title="Prakash Jha">Prakash Jha</a>’s socio-political drama<em> <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/satyagraha-review/">Satyagraha</a>, </em>as the film continued to earn stably at the Domestic Box Office yesterday. Yes, the film saw a drop in its collections but that’s a normal Monday drop that is witnessed every week.</div>
<em>Satyagraha </em>managed to collect approx <strong>5.10 crores</strong> on its 1st Monday, taking its domestic total to<strong> 44.10 crores</strong> at the Box Office. The film performed well in CI and Delhi/UP circuits. <span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><br />

Multiplexes and single screens both fared more or less similar. Being a political drama set in Madhya Pradesh, this <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/prakash-jha/" title="Prakash Jha">Prakash Jha</a> directorial raked up a good moolah in the CI circuit and Delhi/UP circuit as well.<br />
<em>Satyagraha’s</em> box office performance remained stable in the morning and afternoon shows. However, it showed massive pickup in the evening and night shows resulting a good Day 1 collections. The movie will surely pick up today and tomorrow, as the word of mouth publicity is strong and growing stronger!</div>

The film is heavy on star value with the presence of actors like Amitabh Bachchan, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/ajay-devgan/" title="Ajay Devgn">Ajay Devgn</a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actress/kareena-kapoor/" title="Kareena Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</a>, there are mixed reviews on the film. However, it might manage to withhold a mass appeal given the volatile theme of corruption and its effect on people.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last four weeks have been rare instances of films enjoying a solo release for themselves and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/satyagraha/" target="_blank"><em>Satyagraha </em></a>is last of the season before multiple films start hitting the screens week after week. After <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/chennai-express-review/" target="_blank"><em>Chennai Express</em></a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/once-upon-ay-time-in-mumbaai-dobaara-review/" target="_blank"><em>Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara!</em></a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/madras-cafe-review/" target="_blank"><em>Madras Cafe</em></a>, this <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/prakash-jha/" title="Prakash Jha">Prakash Jha</a> directed film is yet another solo release of the week and it would be looking at making a killing out of the platform meted to it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film appears to be yet another hard hitting tale from the director and since it is being pitched as <em>Raajneeti 2</em> now, expectations have gone further up. Moreover, the film has an A-league cast comprising of <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/amitabh-bachchan/" title="Amitabh Bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/ajay-devgan/" title="Ajay Devgn">Ajay Devgn</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actress/kareena-kapoor/" title="Kareena Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/arjun-rampal/" title="Arjun Rampal">Arjun Rampal</a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/manoj-bajpai/" title="Manoj Bajpai">Manoj Bajpai</a> which makes it quite attractive on the face value. Since the film isn’t one of those quintessential masala, family, action or comedy affairs, it can’t be expected to show houseful boards all over from Day One. However it is the kind of affair which should see good escalation with word of mouth as the opening day settles down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film is also important for Ajay Devgn since it arrives after <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/himmatwala-review/" target="_blank"><em>Himmatwala</em></a> and also marks his reunion with Prakash Jha. The year so far has seen multiple genres turning out to be successful at various degrees. A social affair, <em>Satyagraha </em>could well join the league though the kind of scale and setting that the film bears warrants that it has a good run at the box office. Since this isn’t the kind of film which is made primarily for an opening weekend, <em>Satyagraha</em> would have to see a good run in theatres. It would be interesting to see if it adds on to UTV’s dream run after <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-review/" target="_blank"><em>Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani</em></a> and <em>Chennai Express</em>.</div>

Dwarkanath Anand (Amitabh Bachchan) is an upright, moralistic man who has his principles in the right place. The film begins with a clash of ideologies between Dwarka and his son Akhilesh’s (Indraneil Sengupta) friend Manav Raghvendra (Ajay Devgn).<br />
After Akhilesh dies in a mishap, a local minister announces a compensatory amount for Akhilesh’s wife Sumitra (Amrita Rao). Despite taking innumerable trips of the local office, she is unable to procure the amount given the corruption at a grass root level. An agonized Dwarka slaps the collector following the face-to-face debacle! Though he is imprisoned, Manav along with local politician Arjun(Arjun Rampal) and journalist Yasmin (Kareena Kapoor) trigger off an entire campaign against corruption by mobilizing the masses of the city!<br />
Inspired from the real life instance of Anna Hazare’s Jan Lokpal Andolan, <em>Satyagraha</em> blends fact, fiction and slices from history to make a well intentioned film.<br />

<h2 justify="">
Satyagraha Review: Script Analysis</h2>
The story that I was expecting to be gritty ended up grating my nerves. Coming from Prakash Jha, a man whose <em>Damul</em> ranks amongst my personal favorites, the fan inside me was severely bruised. This is a poorly researched film that bends below his standard. Maintaining a politically righteous stance, it is commendable that the man has given his take on corruption, but for most part the script is both frustrating and convoluted.<br />
Based on Anna Hazare’s campaign, the story lacks the usual gripping tendency that <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/satyagraha-review/www.koimoi.com/reviews/komal-nahtas-review-raajneeti/" target="_blank"><em>Raajneeti</em></a> or <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/satyagraha-review/www.koimoi.com/reviews/chakravyuh-review/" target="_blank"><em>Chakravyuh</em></a> had. Anchored on real life events, the director played safe with a politically correct ending that lectures you against turning rebellious.<br />
There are far too many flaws than I can point. Ajay’s character had a strong driving force and perhaps the most meticulously written one. The local leader, the widowed daughter-in-law and even the renowned journalist are all mere shadow of characters without any real conviction in place. If they weren’t actors you knew, they would easily settle into being extras. The romantic track between Ajay and Kareena is stark, sudden, unexpected and absolutely an unnecessary diversion in the story. Their (cheat) kissing scene will crack you up. Being the same actors who brought soul to their characters in Vishal Bharadwaj’s <em>Omkara,</em> their chemistry was utterly dull in this film.<br />
At many crucial places in the first film’s first half, you’ll lose interest. There are a very unintended comic moments that I recommend you don’t miss for the sheer lameness. ‘Jantaaaa Rockkssss’ is a rock song which professes the power of common people. I really wish Prasoon Joshi had used some other words than these!<br />
Manoj Bajpai still remains the same scheming antagonist playing a character with the same shades, only a different name! It’s a surprise he hasn’t got bored of playing the same role over and over again! Frankly I am tired of watching him do the same feat all the time! Given his talent, he might consider putting it to some better use.<br />
I was hounded by a plethora of visions while watching the film. Prakash Jha’s previous films and Anna Hazare’s campaign apart, you’ll be reminded of the ‘Chauri Chaura’ incident which dismissed Gandhi’s popular Non-Cooperation Movement. Somehow the ending seemed very similar to <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/rakeysh-omprakash-mehra/" title="Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra">Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra</a>’s <em>Rang De Basanti</em>, just a little less impactful and diluted version of it. A messy hotch potch of too many issues, <em>Satyagraha</em> failed because of an overambitious plot that couldn’t encapsulate the zest of its theme lucidly.<br />
<h2 justify="">
Satyagraha Review: Star Performances<strong> </strong></h2>
Amitabh Bachchan with a colossal screen presence towers over most of the other characters. He still talks, walks and speaks like a superstar, no wonder he is called the Shehenshah of Bollywood.<br />
Ajay Devgn is adequate in his role, but fails to render the required dramatic punch to it.<br />
Kareena Kapoor is nothing like the veteran Christiane Amanpour, her character was rumored to be essayed on. Hard to decipher her philosophies, the script invests very little time ensuring she has an ample role to present a counter view.<br />
Arjun Rampal settled for an unusually flimsy role and after seeing him as Rudra Pratap Singh in <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/d-day-review/"><em>D-Day</em></a>, I feel Jha could not efficiently bring out the impulsive side that he intended to evoke from him ala <em>Raajneeti.</em><br />
Amrita Rao is shaky and definitely looks overshadowed by the other brilliant actors on screen.<br />
And lastly, Manoj Bajpai is a bellowing, scheming, sly politician – a role he has mastered after regularly playing it in Jha’s stints. He is near perfect in his portrayal but the wickedness of the character remains unjustified!<br />
<h2 justify="">
Satyagraha Review: Direction, Editing and Music</h2>
Prakash Jha furthers his prevalent problem and he still shies away from making a notoriously compelling point. From a confident filmmaker like him, who ventures into risky terrains of bold cinema that are social commentaries, his characters have become stereotypical – an upright man of values, a young counterview of the same (a consumerist in this case) and a turbulent scheme of things! Still the philosophical dilemma is gripping in parts, mostly in the film’s second half. The impact of the powerful moments are rather ephemeral and a very few scenes manage to touch you. The scene where Dwarkanath breaks down at the spot where his son died is pristinely shot, but sadly Jha gives us these overwhelming tinges in rarity this time. The screenplay is shackled and the editing is shadily done as the film treads at a tedious 150 minutes plus show. The music is mediocre and nothing except ‘Raghupati Raghav’ will give you goosebumps.<br />
<h2 justify="">
Satyagraha Review: The Last Word</h2>
<em></em>Prakash Jha’s<em> Satyagraha</em> is a weightless film that leaves by a transitory impact on its audiences. Wasting the enigma of such talented bunch of actors, the film with its overbearing story and its erratically structured plot lacks the much needed blaze. Emerging as a warped product of political correctness with an unconvincing climax, somehow the entire product had the stench of unbearable staleness. It wasn’t a terrible film, just not the promising Prakash Jha venture you might have wanted to watch. I am settling for a 2.5/5 for this film. You might have to drag yourself to hear the lecturing saga on corruption, but it is bearable only for a one-time shot!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the Bollywood’s best comic capers that has managed to carve for itself a cult status, <em>Andaz Apna Apna</em> is facing troubles with its animated 3D version. Filmmaker <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/rajkumar-santoshi/" title="Rajkumar Santoshi">Rajkumar Santoshi</a> who had directed the film was keen on the animated version.

The film that was being made on <strong>15 crores</strong> budget has been reportedly kept aside for the time being, citing reason that animation is still not so overwhelming popular in India and Indian animated films have limited business prospects. The film, that was <strong>35%</strong> complete, also had <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/salman-khan/" title="Salman Khan">Salman Khan</a> agree on lending his voice for the film. However, the producers felt there was a lack of market for the animated version in India and hence, the project is shelved for now!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There has been immense hullabaloo about how mesmerizing the box office collections of <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/chennai-express-review/" target="_blank"><em>Chennai Express</em></a> are. While a section of the audiences are celebrating the triumph of their favorite star’s box office victory, the intelligentsia has been mourning the celebration of moronic film replete in gags. I had maintained the safe way out by deciding to abandon my brains just before I entered the theater to watch <em>Chennai Express</em> and I managed to scrape out with a passable entertaining time. However, the ‘hate’ comments of our loyal readers haven’t stopped coming in ever since. And with <em>Chennai Express</em> surpassing the box office records created by <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/3-idiots/" target="_blank"><em>3 Idiots</em></a>, the looming question remains – do good content films get their due value from box office?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s direct our attention to the much touted <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/box-office-india-bollywood-100-crore-club/" target="_blank"><em>100 crore club</em></a> of box office. With 22 films in the club, there is a real dearth of impressive concepts in the club that epitomizes success of films. What exactly is a successful film – a content rich, refreshing film that is hard to forget or a blunder like <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/aashiqui-2-movie-review/" target="_blank"><em>Aashiqui 2</em></a> which dishes out the same old wine in a new bottle? The reason why I cared to mention <em>Aashiqui</em> <em>2</em> is because the film has recorded the highest profit this year, without entering the “100 crore club”. Personally, business prospects and cinematic aspects are distinctly different, cinema these days focus exceedingly on business rather than on content.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_235175" style="width: 475px;">
<img alt="Chennai Express And 3 Idiots Movie Poster" class="size-full wp-image-235175" height="338" src="http://cdn.koimoi.com/wp-content/new-galleries/2013/08/Chennai-Express-And-3-Idiots-Movie-Box-Office-Poster.jpg" title="Chennai Express And 3 Idiots Movie Poster" width="465" /><div class="wp-caption-text">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In many of my columns I’ve pointed out to the distinction between a thorough commercial film and decadent intelligent film. But it is only recently that the gulf between these films have become more apparent. I have been fed on the pedigree of Bollywood and respecting commercialism is inherently in me. As Neo realist pioneer of India, Satyajit Ray pointed out, “Film is the highest form of commercial art!” Bollywood has literally personified commercial cinema for years. Be it films like <em>Sholay</em> or<em> Don</em>, there is a visible presence of effervescent writing and refreshing ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the problem with commercial films these days is slack and stale writing that has nothing new to offer in terms of content. Stories more or less settle on similar plots and commercial films work mainly either for their stunts or their star value. Amongst the 22 entrants in the <em>100 crore club</em>, 6 are either completely lifted or rehashed versions of South flicks – namely <em><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/singham-review/" target="_blank">Singham</a>, Ghajini, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/son-of-sardaar-review/" target="_blank">Son Of Sardaar</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/rowdy-rathore-review/" target="_blank">Rowdy Rathore</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/ready-review/" target="_blank">Ready</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/bodyguard-review/" target="_blank">Bodyguard</a></em>. While <em><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/race-2-review/" target="_blank">Race 2</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/don-2-review/" target="_blank">Don 2</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/housefull-2-review/" target="_blank">Housefull 2</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/golmaal-3-review-by-komal-nahta/" target="_blank">Golmaal 3</a></em> are franchises which rely mostly on their successful predecessors to work into hits! <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/bol-bachchan-review/" target="_blank"><em>Bol Bachchan</em></a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/agneepath-review/" target="_blank"><em>Agneepath</em></a> are both remakes of old Hindi films which we might end up watching simply for the nostalgic feel. And in the end, there are those films which work mostly because of its star value. Be it <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/yash-chopra/" title="Yash Chopra">Yash Chopra</a>’s last film <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/jab-tak-hai-jaan-review/" target="_blank"><em>Jab Tak Hai Jaan</em></a> or old flames coming back together in <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/ek-tha-tiger-review/" target="_blank"><em>Ek Tha Tiger</em></a> or <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-review/" target="_blank"><em>Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani</em></a>, the reason why these films worked despite the lack of a fresh script is simply because of star value and sleek direction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are rather few films in the 100 crore list which really have made a place on the basis strong plot. <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/anurag-basu/" title="Anurag Basu">Anurag Basu</a>’s <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/barfi-review/" target="_blank"><em>Barfi!</em></a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/rakeysh-omprakash-mehra/" title="Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra">Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra</a>’s <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/3-idiots/" target="_blank"><em>Bhaag Milha Bhaag</em></a> and mostly Rajkumar Hirani’s <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/3-idiots/" target="_blank"><em>3 Idiots</em></a> have claimed the place more for the plot of their films and less for the star value of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if <em>Chennai Express</em> has managed to surpass the box office numbers of <em>3 Idiots</em>, it is indeed not a cue for people to thrash <em>3 Idiots</em> saying how <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/aamir-khan/" title="Aamir Khan">Aamir Khan</a> is a lesser star than <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/shah-rukh-khan/" title="Shah Rukh Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</a>. Though hero-worship is quite a trend in our industry, it would be better if script looms as the hero in the larger picture of cinema. And as for box office numbers, they have never been indicative of good films.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most celebrated films of Bollywood have been underrated at box office. In the end, it is the films that linger on in our memories. <em>Chennai Express</em> might rake up way more than <em>3 Idiots</em> in the domestic circuit, but when one has to name the most memorable films of the decade, it wouldn’t even stand a chance. Human brain is thus, in the long run it manages to dissipate the fragile and remember the strong. When it comes to cinema, the best of films are the only ones that sustain over the content drained, quick hefty earners, that fail to carve a place!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not ashamed to say that a <em>3 Idiots</em> or a <em>Barfi</em> or even a <em>Bhaag Milkha Bhaag</em> will establish itself in my memory far more strongly than the flimsy likes of <em>Chennai Express</em> or <em>Ek Tha Tiger</em>, which I’ve already forgotten. And for our readers, box office numbers are not slaps on critics. In the words of LA Times’ critic Kenneth Turan, “Critics are not meant to be applause meters! Everyone goes there, it must be the best theory doesn’t apply to films at all. We judge on variant criteria than audiences, that’s our job!”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some todu, action-packed posters of <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/singh-saab-the-great/" target="_blank"><em>Singh Saab The Great</em></a> has been revealed, featuring the original <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/dabangg-review-salman-khan-by-komal-nahta/" target="_blank"><em>Dabangg</em></a> actor – <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/sunny-deol/" title="Sunny Deol">Sunny Deol</a>. <em>SSTG</em> is a story about a common man, who takes pride in his honesty. He leads a simple life and believes in true values.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last four weeks have been rare instances of films enjoying a solo release for themselves and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/satyagraha/" target="_blank"><em>Satyagraha </em></a>is last of the season before multiple films start hitting the screens week after week. After <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/chennai-express-review/" target="_blank"><em>Chennai Express</em></a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/once-upon-ay-time-in-mumbaai-dobaara-review/" target="_blank"><em>Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara!</em></a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/madras-cafe-review/" target="_blank"><em>Madras Cafe</em></a>, this <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/prakash-jha/" title="Prakash Jha">Prakash Jha</a> directed film is yet another solo release of the week and it would be looking at making a killing out of the platform meted to it.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_235040" style="width: 630px;">
<img alt="Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn And Amrita Rao in Satyagraha Movie Poster" class="size-full wp-image-235040" height="337" src="http://cdn.koimoi.com/wp-content/new-galleries/2013/08/Amitabh-Bachchan-Arjun-Rampal-Kareena-Kapoor-Ajay-Devgn-And-Amrita-Rao-in-Satyagraha-Movie-Poster.jpg" title="Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn And Amrita Rao in Satyagraha Movie Poster" width="620" /><div class="wp-caption-text">
Satyagraha Movie Poster</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film appears to be yet another hard hitting tale from the director and since it is being pitched as <em>Raajneeti 2</em> now, expectations have gone further up. Moreover, the film has an A-league cast comprising of <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/amitabh-bachchan/" title="Amitabh Bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/ajay-devgan/" title="Ajay Devgn">Ajay Devgn</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actress/kareena-kapoor/" title="Kareena Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/arjun-rampal/" title="Arjun Rampal">Arjun Rampal</a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/manoj-bajpai/" title="Manoj Bajpai">Manoj Bajpai</a> which makes it quite attractive on the face value. Since the film isn’t one of those quintessential masala, family, action or comedy affairs, it can’t be expected to show houseful boards all over from Day One. However it is the kind of affair which should see good escalation with word of mouth as the opening day settles down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film is also important for Ajay Devgn since it arrives after <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/himmatwala-review/" target="_blank"><em>Himmatwala</em></a> and also marks his reunion with Prakash Jha. The year so far has seen multiple genres turning out to be successful at various degrees. A social affair, <em>Satyagraha </em>could well join the league though the kind of scale and setting that the film bears warrants that it has a good run at the box office. Since this isn’t the kind of film which is made primarily for an opening weekend, <em>Satyagraha</em> would have to see a good run in theatres. It would be interesting to see if it adds on to UTV’s dream run after <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-review/" target="_blank"><em>Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani</em></a> and <em>Chennai Express</em>.</div>

There have been immense speculations about <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/salman-khan/" title="Salman Khan">Salman Khan</a>’s upcoming flick which was tentatively titled <em><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/mental/">Mental</a>.</em> However, there was no official confirmation from Sohail Khan, Salman’s brother who is directing him in the film, regarding the film’s title.<br />
After much talk of the film’s name being changed to <em>Jai Ho</em>, sources are now revealing that the production house have now zeroed on the title <em>Azaad</em> which might also be Salman’s name in the film.<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_230019" style="width: 630px;">

Essaying the titular character, this will be an immensely important film for Salman who will be returning after more than a year on the eve of Republic Day in 2014.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Koimoi analyses the profit and loss measures of each film that is released, keeping a close eye on the investments made on it. The profit margins of the films are calculated on the basis of the film’s return on investment (ROI). ROI is calculated by the number of times a movie earns over its production and marketing costs. Contrary to popular belief, 100 crore club is not the index of profit or success. But it is the ROI the film garners that makes it lucrative of profit incurring as a venture!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/once-upon-ay-time-in-mumbaai-dobaara-review/" target="_blank"><em>OUATIMD</em></a> maintained a steady pace on its 1st Wednesday at the domestic Box Office. This <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/akshay-kumar/" title="Akshay Kumar">Akshay Kumar</a> starrer has raked an income of approx <strong>4.10 crores </strong>yesterday, taking its total domestic collections to <strong>53 crores </strong>at the Box Office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With this the movie has now surpassed the lifetime collection of <em><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/kai-po-che-review/" target="_blank">Kai Po Che!</a>, </em>that made a business of <strong>50 crores </strong>at the Box Office. <em>OUATIMD </em>now stands at No. 9 position at <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/koimoi-bollywood-box-office-top-10-2013-movies/">Koimoi’s Top 10 Indian Movies 2013</a> list.</div>

The film hasn’t lived up to the overwhelming buzz that was around it. It could have performed way better had it not faced the clashing with <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/shah-rukh-khan/" title="Shah Rukh Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</a> starrer <em><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/chennai-express-review/" target="_blank">Chennai Express</a>.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the film majorly failed due to a bad script and dull performances. Failing to enthrall like its prequel edition, it was almost a damp squib. <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/milan-luthria/" title="Milan Luthria">Milan Luthria</a> who has delivered many hits for the same production house before has now delivered a fairly unimpressive feat!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two years after <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/force-review/" target="_blank"><em>Force</em></a>, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/john-abraham/" title="John Abraham">John Abraham</a> is returning in a solo action avatar with <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/madras-cafe/" target="_blank"><em>Madras Cafe</em></a>. This time around he is producing the film as well while reuniting with <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/vicky-donor-review/" target="_blank"><em>Vicky Donor</em></a> director <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/shoojit-sircar/" title="Shoojit Sircar">Shoojit Sircar</a>. <em>Madras Cafe</em> has an altogether different stage and setting though as it is set as an intriguing dramatic action thriller.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The film’s promos indicate that an exciting affair in the offering though to begin with, the target audience is upmarket multiplex crowd. This isn’t one of those ‘masala’ action affairs where gentry is expected to clap and whistle. Instead, action is a part of a narrative which should cater primarily to those who have followed and appreciated cinema of this genre coming from Hollywood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This means that from critical acclaim perspective, the film should see a Thumbs Up. Also, while one doesn’t expect horde of audience stepping into auditorium from the very first show, it should see a good escalation in the evening and then during the weekend owing to target audience footfalls.</div>
The film would primarily see a comparatively larger multiplex presence since a large share of the single screens would be occupied by <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/chennai-express-review/" target="_blank"><em>Chennai Express </em></a>and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/once-upon-ay-time-in-mumbaai-dobaara-review/" target="_blank"><em>Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara!</em></a>.</div>

<strong>What’s Good: </strong>An engrossing monologue which excavates one of India’s most overbearing conspirac<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">ies </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">left back in the dusty pages of history.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>What’s Bad: </strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">There is no commercialism, which has been smartly avoided </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">so as to not </span>dilute the subject matter. Music, background score has been kept limited to create any unwanted flavor to the drama than the story already contains. They are not really negatives just slightly deterring for the general public.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Loo break: </strong>None</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Watch or Not?: </strong>Shoojit Sircar and John Abraham have teamed up again to come up with one of India’s most bold and matured political thrillers! Designed with a deep rooted sense of urgency, the film builds an overwhelming tale around the darkest phase of the Lankan Civil War that marshal to conclude with a rushing end which we are all familiar with. In between the flashbacks and conspiracies, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/madras-cafe/"><em>Madras Café</em></a> is a film with a gritty, convincing and engrossing plot that will revel in its ability to leave you with an uneasy and helpless feeling!</div>

Vikram Singh is deployed on a covert oppression to Jaffna. After India and Sri Lanka signed the peace accord in the mid 1980s, India took it as their mission to help its neighbors relieve themselves from the ethnic strife between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. Hatching a plot to bring down Anna, a popular Tamil leader in the zone, Vikram begins with trying to team up with Anna’s opponents in the beginning.<br />
Falling prey to a leak, he loses his first shot with Anna and gets kidnapped by his forces! However, now hell bent on getting Anna to bow down, he teams with Anna’s own men and manages to ambush his army. However, Anna manages to survive and returns even more powerful by eradicating Indian forces off Jaffna and Lanka.<br />
Plotting ways to kill the former Indian Prime Minister fearing that he will return to power, the film is a tussle between the war makers to safeguard their interests! And for Vikram, it is the story about how India lost its Prime Minister in an assassination which the nation has still not forgotten!<br />

Madras Cafe Review: Script Analysis</h2>
Recreated out of real life instances, Sircar doesn’t cheat us at any level. His story is a dramatized version of real life instances, with the parallels so apparent that they aren’t very difficult to decipher. There are no false jingoistic traps laid or judgment calls commanded. Luckily for the good of its audiences, the film invokes a strong sense of realism largely as the director doesn’t waste time in creating ornate sham of filmi-ness. The script itself gives very few problems to hang around as it envelopes a rather clear cut story which is a coalescence of history and drama which is a quasi fictional account of India-Lanka Peace Accord which culminates into the death of Rajiv Gandhi.<br />
Writers Somnath Dey and Subhendu Bhattacharya dynamically build a piquant movie which has a stirring premise. Folding in well the background of ethnic strife in Sri Lanka, the film carefully holds its ground with an antagonist whose motives are beyond power. The film’s forte is how it tells such a volatile story with utmost sensitivity without taking sides. It is pro human and definitely not anti any group, culture or leader.<br />
The unlikely twists and pauses build consistently the right aura and mood of the film. Keeping it somber and dull, the film’s pace is rightly packed with thrills. In no part of the film is there a single dull moment which sags or falls loose. It has no allegations or derogatory remarks but a simplistic narration of the course of events. The film’s trajectories don’t foster any shade of righteousness and strictly refrains from evoking any wrong sentiment.<br />
The drama factor doesn’t take fancy to over the top melodrama thankfully; its pace doesn’t slack or the momentum of its happenings do<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">es</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">n’t veer away. Our hero is </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">a faltering </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">human </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">who doesn’t end up saving his wife or the life of the Prime Minister who is slayed eventually. It is this realistic approach that popular cinema misses and Shoojit Sircar, along with his writers, whose toiling at assembling the film’s skeletal groundwork shows in terms of the film’s clarity, have put up a bravura show! </span><br />

Madras Cafe Review: Star Performances<strong> </strong></h2>
John Abraham as Vikram Singh topples all his previous performances. He isn’t a very flattering actor but his clever choice of role and wicked acting surely shows a remarkable improvement. He isn’t the John who couldn’t emote. He is the John who isn’t afraid to take up challenging roles and carry them out gracefully.<br />
Nargis Fakhri with her British accent is confident. She may not be a show stealer but does her bit with élan retaining the correct persona for it.<br />
Siddhartha Basu is quite a natural as he smoothly slips in the role of R.D. His intelligence shows in his eyes, and he manages to command respect in his character! Never stepping a wrong stone, the man should have taken up acting long back!<br />
The supporting actors are all impressive but in the end, this film is more about its intent and plot than about its actors!<br />
<h2 justify="">
Madras Cafe Review: Direction, Editing and Music</h2>
Shoojit Sircar is back after a long hiatus since <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/vicky-donor-review/"><em>Vicky Donor</em></a>. He strings into the same plot, the emotional wreckage and physical devastation of war to emphatically put forth the futility of it all. In the climax, Shoojit concludes with, “One man’s revolutionary is another one’s villain!” followed by a few stellar lines of Tagore! Truly, in the clashes of mindsets the only people who suffer are commoners who seek only peace and happiness from their lives.<br />
As Lankan leader Anna strives to garner power and Indian Government attempts to achieve their political motive of maintaining monopoly in the subcontinent by maintaining friendly relations with Lanka to obtain access into the South East Asia, Sircar wonderfully relates the story of anarchy, bloodshed and meaningless war which continued for 27 long years killing thousands. In the end, he does have a potent message about the nugatory nightmare of the wrath of war! Shoojit intelligently executes a crisply written story which is executed breathtakingly. The editing of the film is quite well done, as the docu-drama style stir up any boredom. Shantanu Moitra’s music is pristine and haunting as the climax wraps up with Papon crooning <em>Maula Re</em>.<br />
<h2 justify="">
Madras Cafe Review: The Last Word</h2>
<em>Madras Café</em> is a hypnotically created masterpiece which thrives in the freshness of its conception. Using history with drama to build a persuasive tapestry of enthralling action, energetic plot and skillful narration of the grim phase of Lankan War, Shoojit Sircar astonishes with this fascinating docu style dramatic movie. I am going flatly with a 4/5 this triumphed work of passionate and compelling cinema.</div>

The title track features the director of the massy film, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/director/abhinav-kashyap/" title="Abhinav Kashyap">Abhinav Kashyap</a> and the director-choreographer, Remo D’souza.</div>

After the track <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/videos/badtameez-song-yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani/" target="_blank"><em>Batameez dil</em></a> being a chart-buster and getting popular among the audiences with Ranbir’s moves choreographed by Remo D’souza, the actor-choreographer duo is back again to create magic in his next film; <em>Besharam’s</em> title track.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The superstar, Ranbir Kapoor insisted that Abhinav and Remo should be a part of the song. In fact, the actor choreographed the shot with Abhinav and Remo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trio had an amazing time while shooting for the song and the song will surely be a treat to watch for all the crazy fans of Ranbir Kapoor as he puts on his dancing shoes yet again.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems like stars need to prep themselves for all kinds of sticky situations while travelling these days. Sources close to the actor revealed that <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/akshay-kumar/" title="Akshay Kumar">Akshay Kumar</a> had to face the New York Police Department on his recent trip to New York! So what charge was the Khiladi booked under?</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_233120" style="width: 630px;">
<img alt="Akshay Kumar" class="size-full wp-image-233120" height="338" src="http://cdn.koimoi.com/wp-content/new-galleries/2013/08/Khiladi-Akshay-Kumar-ic-1.jpg" title="Akshay Kumar" width="620" /><div class="wp-caption-text">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reported by Zoom, Khiladi Kumar was leaving a mall post a shopping spree when he was halted by an NYPD officer! When asked to pull over and confirm his identity, Akshay Kumar got a little worried. Much to actor’s relief the reason for this pull over was that the officer was a huge fan of the star and wanted to play a prank on the biggest prankster of Bollywood!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An admirer of Akshay’s perfect comic timing and wit, the officer knew exactly who he was and later requested him for a few pictures as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akshay may have been the godfather of pranks on his film sets but it seems like his fans have gone a step further in reality! ‘</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.koimoi.com/movie/krrish-3/" target="_blank"><em>Krrish 3</em></a>‘s trailer, though boasting of overwhelming views and popularity in its first stint itself, is widely accepted by most that it seemed like a mash up of every popular superhero film served on a Bollywood platter. Reports from a leading daily suggests that the film’s lead pair, <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actor/hrithik-roshan/" title="Hrithik Roshan">Hrithik Roshan</a> and <a href="http://www.koimoi.com/actress/priyanka-chopra/" title="Priyanka Chopra">Priyanka Chopra</a>, will share a sizzling lip-lock scene ala Spiderman style.</div>

Similar to a sequence between Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman, where Maguire kisses Dunst, Krrish too will apparently be hanging upside down while sharing an intense kiss with P.C. Trying to make their superhero film unique, the makers have borrowed the concept from the overtly famous Hollywood film. But whether the scene will really be included in the film is to be seen!</div>
