Latest gupshup from tinsel town
* Not just lead actors, even supporting actors are turning film-makers. While actor Neeraj Vora has already directed a few films and actor Paresh Rawal is a successful television producer, actor Rajpal Yadav has also decided to try his hand at film-making. Rajpal is not only writing and producing his first film called ATA-PATA LAPATA, he is directing it as well, besides playing the main role in the film. In fact, ATA-PATA LAPATA is almost 90% complete.
* Mehul Kumar, who has completed the sequel to KRANTIVEER called KRANTIVEER – THE REVOLUTION, had initially decided to release the sequel on 11th June. But the veteran has decided to shift the film to a latter date – 25th June. With RAAJNEETI arriving on 4th June and RAAVAN confirmed for 18th June, Mehulbhai realized that bringing the film on 11th June would only harm the film. Hence, 25th June. Meanwhile, Mehul Kumar’s next film is targeted at the youth. It’s called HATELE.
* While Sanjay Dutt hasn’t had a release in 2010, he will have three films releasing in rapid succession, in three consecutive months – LAMHAA on 16th July, KNOCK OUT on 6th August and NO PROBLEM on 10th September. In fact, the first look of KNOCK OUT will be launched at the forthcoming IIFA weekend in Sri Lanka.
* More on KNOCK OUT. Director Apoorva Lakhia [MUMBAI SE AAYA MERA DOST, EK AJNABEE, SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA, MISSION ISTAANBUL] makes his debut as an actor with KNOCK OUT. He plays a cop in the film, which co-stars Sanjay Dutt, Irrfan and Kangna in lead roles and is directed by Mani Shankar and produced by Sohail Maklai.

RANN MOVIE REVIEW :
Rann is a must watch for those who enjoy serious cinema. But the film Rann gives a ‘psychological aspect of the media business’ rather than its ‘technical’ side of Media. Amitabh Bachchan is terrific again, Amitabh’s speech and the way he delivers are remarkable.Paresh Rawal, Rajat Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Manisha Koirala, Purab Kohli as well as Gul Panag has done good and appriciating acting. source: www.indiasummary.com.

De Dana Dan Movie Review
In an interview to a music station, Akshay Kumar, the hero of this film, says: He had been told three times this script again, and still did not quite get it. This, I suppose, is a good reason to register for a film.
Akshay, it’s easy to say, is an instinctive comedian. Her career decisions should not be different. I am sure that had applied the same basis – “Eh, what’s this? Let’s make the movie, sure!” – Selecting the scripts for his recent work: Blue, Kambakkht Ishq, Chandni Chowk to China et al .
Surprisingly, the hero, halfway through, disappears from the screen altogether. Probably could not take it beyond a point. His character, a home help, nor can take your head obnoxiously demanding (Archana Puran Singh). He and his friend (Sunil Shetty) to kidnap his pet for ransom. Back home from the pet, Akshay, the servant, is considered kidnapped instead. This makes for a good plot. Not even for one quarter of this film.
Suddenly the action shifts entirely to other bullets, one after another unrelated. De Dana Dan, is the background score. Your ears begin to roll. Deciphering the narrative then becomes a minor problem in solving a math puzzle – with all the permutations and combinations.
Paresh Rawal, arguably the top movie star in Gujarat, money plays a Punjabi-swindler “Chadha Saab” instead. The cops are chasing. He has two girlfriends and their parents to their son’s dowry. All brokers Priyadarshan’s (Asrani, Rajpal Yadav, who has a day or two) are chasing someone or the other. Simply exchange purposes. Shakti Kapoor as the sleaze, is, of course, chasing a prostitute. Some sense, or is intended.
There is simply no recess of this excess.
The image is the longest known advertisement for a Pan Pacific hotel, where the action takes place and a flood at random.
The backdrop is Singapore, where, like all Bollywood films placed abroad, an Indian waiter materializes impeccable Hindi from all over:, police, children courier TV reporters … Gender is, literally, slapstick, so stick it as a character or the other gets slapped across your cheeks, often got into masala, mud or mud cake.
Millions have suffered (or unwilling) Priyadarshan past successes (and failures) of a similar flow: Dhol, Bhaagam Bhaag, Garam Masala, etc. Mere baap Pehle AAP earlier this year, the director picked up the National Award Kanchivaram: an environment warm, quiet left-leaning Tamil film about a silk weaver and his family. Few, including myself, have seen that one.
In another interview, Priyadarshan said, “Somewhere in the line I realized that if critics like a movie, not work, and vice versa. I hope the hate Dan Dana.” Well, we certainly have accomplished our half the operation. I guess it’s for the public to comply with its promises of Priyadarshan.
