  • Katrina & Anushka kick up a storm on Koffee couch

    Katrina & Anushka kick up a storm on Koffee couch

    MUMBAI: Move over boys because the girls have arrived! After being discussed, rated and analyzed in almost every episode of Koffee with Karan this season, Bollywood beauties Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif will finally grace the talk show together to brew a storm on the Koffee couch.

    And, by storm, we mean a whirlwind of fun and madness that will leave the otherwise cool, calm and collected Karan Johar having a meltdown in the midst of the show, a first in Koffee history.

    The next episode of Koffee with Karan season 5, which will air on Star World and Star World HD on Sunday at 9 pm, will see these actresses being candid like never before even as they gang up against Johar.

    From admitting that the polls about her bothered her enough to stay away from appearing on the show to making some startlingly funny revelations when she discloses that Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor actually had a club called the ‘I hate Katrina Club’, Katrina is at her charming best. And even as Sharma denies that she is equally as bad as Kaif, she causes Johar to have a meltdown as she twists and over analyzes his question about whether the actresses have ever thought about choosing stability over passion in a relationship.

    The comfort and rapport of the two actresses is evident as they rag Kapoor, who is back in his third appearance this season, this timefor the ‘Kiss With Arjun’ session. From Sharma jokingly calling him a bigger continuity than the Koffee couch to Kaif donating the Koffee hamper to him as charity, Kapoor is left speechless and in splits between the two girls.

  • Movies: A drab week of creative bankruptcy

    Movies: A drab week of creative bankruptcy

    MUMBAI: *Baar Baar Dekho meets with universally negative response from viewers. A half-baked idea gone totally haywire which makes watching the film tiring. Besides the story, the execution and length, the casting proved to be the last straw. The chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif is non-existent. All that the film earned on the social media was puns galore on its title.

    The film opened with weak collections on Friday grossing just about Rs 6 crore with no significant improvement on Saturday while, on Sunday, the collections dropped, instead, to put together Rs 18.4crore during the opening weekend. The film may face trying times in the day ahead before it completes its first week run.

    *Freaky Ali, a sport-oriented comedy-romance, deals with the sport of golf, a sport alien to layman. The film banking totally on Nawazuddin Siddiqui to play the underdog urchin to excel in an elite sport did not quite manage to draw the crowds, and the sustenance thereafter seemed unlikely.

    The film opened with poor collections as expected and remained that way to end its opening weekend with Rs 6.4 crore. The film may end up with cancelled shows in the days to come for want of footfalls.

    *Akira adds to the list of rejected woman action-‘hero’ films. The protagonist, Sonakshi Sinha, turning to action after a number of romantic roles went against her image. Also, Anurag Kashyap as the main villain was taking the paying public for granted and added to the problems. The film had a below-average opening weekend, and could not add much over the next four days as it concluded its first week with Rs 24.1 crore.

    *Yeh Toh Two Much Ho Gaya, Sunshine Music Tours and Travels and Island City have proved to be disasters.

    *A Flying Jatt has managed to hold on to the second week run though the collections are on a lower side. The film added Rs 1.75 crore in its second week to take its two-week total to Rs 35.5 crore.

    *MohenjoDaro collections have dropped to below Rs 10 lakh in its fourth week making the film one of the biggest disasters in a long time.

    *Rustom collected Rs 2.1 crore in its fourth week to take its four-week total to Rs 123.7 crore.

  • Baar Baar Dekho…Akhir Kyon?

    Baar Baar Dekho…Akhir Kyon?

    MUMBAI: Baar Baar Dekho, the debut directorial venture of Nitya Mehra, is a love story that spans over three decades. The makers seem to have found the basic idea from the Hollywood film, Groundhog Day (1995). Here, the idea has been used for a couple about to marry.

    Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif are born in England around the same time and their parents also decide to move back to India almost at the same time. Katrina and Sidharth meet at school and become close pals at eight. Love blossoms as they grow.

    Sidharth is a gifted mathematician while Katrina’s calling is modern art. Their love is boundless and both families are agreeable. It is time to get them to commit to each other and an engagement ceremony takes place. Sidharth is however not sure he wants to get married at that point in time. His first love is mathematics and he wants to prove himself as a math genius all over the world. At the time he was committing to Katrina, his research paper to Cambridge has been appreciated and he is invited to join the faculty.

    While Sidharth is a middleclass man who believes in making it big on his own, his would-be father-in-law, Ram Kapoor, gifts him a car and a plush flat. This puts him off further. He has an argument with Katrina to the extent that he offends her. To escape things happening around him, he hits the bottle.

    His future travel with wife Katrina is what most of this film is about. Sidharth’s life revolves round his job with little or no time for the family. His mind is so taken up by research, he is unable to connect well with his children when he meets them after gaps. Katrina expresses her displeasure with what is happening to her family life. And, to Sidharth’s discomfort, Kapoor moves in with the family to provide support to Katrina.

    Sidharth’s time with his family is like a long lost relative coming back after ages. On one occasion, he is called when his mother dies. There, he realizes that his divorced wife Katrina has remarried!

    Baar Baar Dekho is a kind of long-winding sermon to men and women planning marriage, and life thereafter. There is just about everything that is going wrong with the film. It starts with the scripting which jumps from one point to another failing to keep the audience informed.
    Sidharth’s ‘amnesia’ is least convincing. The film is beyond the director’s control soon after it takes off. The futuristic approach with communication, be it cell phone or computer, serves no purpose; even the makeup of the aged phase of the actors looks amateur.

    The film has some good songs playing in the background but don’t register as one is trying to figure out the events in the story. The popular number, Kala chashma…., is left for the end titles by which time the viewer has lost the will to stay back. Editing is sorely missing. The only thing that works for the film is the visuals. It is a beautifully shot film.
    Baar Baar Dekho is a grossly disappointing film.
