  • ‘Warning’: Nothing to be scared of

    ‘Warning’: Nothing to be scared of

    Warning is an attempt to make something different in that it chooses an underwater theme with 3D effects. However, trying to be different does not amount to being original. Thus, the film borrows heavily from an English film, Open Water 2: Adrift.

    A bunch of friends decide to go mid-sea for a break and celebrate their reunion. These seven friends decide to go for a swim and sure enough all of them jump into the sea leaving only a year old toddler aboard. While they are having fun they don’t realise they have no way of getting back on the yacht because, in their joyous mood, they have forgotten to lower the ladder to board the yacht again.

    When they realise, they try to devise ways to climb back while they ward off sharks and struggle to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the little baby is alone on the yacht and crying. As would happen in any reunion, the past incidents catch up with the group. Past enmity too resurfaces. To add some tense moments, one of the girls forced to jump into the water suffers from aqua-phobia.

    There is no suspense in the film as such except how many will be sacrificed while efforts are being made to climb back aboard and how many will make it out alive. In fact, the film takes recourse to the original source in plotting its sequence of events.

    Producer: Anubhav Sinha, Parag Sanghvi, Sunil A Lulla.
    Director: Gurmeet Singh.
    Cast: Santosh Barmola, Suzana Rodrigues, Manjari Fadnis, Varun Sharma, Jitin Gulati, Sumit Suri, MadhurimaTuli.

    The film is well endowed with good photography and background score but despite a readymade subject and 3D effects to play with, it is the treatment that is seen to be wanting. The film fails to scare or even cause anxiety in any sequence. Performances range from average to passable.

    Warning 3D will prove to be one of those also ran films.

    Kangna’s ‘Rajjo’ set to release with ‘Ramleela’

    Mumbai: The most talked about musical dramas are now set to clash. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram Leela‘, the promo of which has already been unveiled was set to enjoy a solo release in the coming festive season. However, now Kangna Ranaut starrer ‘Rajjo’ is too releasing on the same date.

    On the clash of dates, makers of Rajjo says,“ However once the final cut of the ‘Rajjo‘ was seen by people concerned, there was an added sense of confidence. It was felt that the originally decided date would be just right to set the stage for ‘Rajjo‘ v/s ‘Leela‘,”.

    With so much effort put in to make delightful film the director of ‘Rajjo’ Vishwas Patil says: “I was waiting for an apt time to bring the film. Even though the main character Kangna (or Rajjo) plays a Mujra wali in the film, it isn‘t somber or depressing by any means”.

    The release date of a film was decided as 15 November after a lot of brain storming. ‘Rajjo’ would incidentally be arriving just 12 days after the release of ‘Krrish 3‘ (3rd November) in which Kangna would be seen kicking butt.

    About the film Kangna seem confident, she says “‘Rajjo‘ is really close to my heart and I am glad it is being released this festive season. As for competition with other films, there would be one every week in any case. I am sure my producers are taking a good call and it comes from the trust and confidence they have in the product. I am particularly proud of the film and my work. The film is special and it will fetch an audience of it‘s own. I strongly believe in director Vishwas Patil and music director Uttam Singh. Once you see the promos, which would be out very soon, you would know what I mean.” There is no doubt that the actress has put in a tremendous about of hard work into the film, lets hope in works in her favour.

    Rajjo is produced by Four Pillar Films starring Kangana Ranaut, Paras Arora, Prakash Raj, Mahesh Manjrekar and Jaya Prada.

    Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Tabu have been roped in for Vishal Bhardwaj’s ambitious next in line Shakespeare trilogy Haider, an Indian adaptation of Hamlet.

     

    While Tabu has already been a part of this trilogy as Lady Macbeth in Vishal’s Maqbool in 2003, Shahid will be pairing up with the director after the 2009 film Kaminey.

     

    The Kapoor boy will be essaying the lead role of Hamlet while Shraddha and Tabu’s role are still being kept under wraps.

    The Indian version of this Shakespeare tragedy will be shot in the beautiful locales around Kashmir and is slated to go on floors by the end of 2013.
