In typical KJo fashion, the movie has a lot of family drama (over-the-top, no doubt), but it still ends up being quite a bit of fun (the second half, mostly; the first half is just like the same thing over-and-over again). Of course, also in KJo fashion, it tends to drag a bit at the end.

Jaya Bachchan, as the female version of K3G's Amitabh, is downright horrible, as she is meant to be. But just cuz she plays the role well, doesn't mean it is easy to watch - because it isn't. She's horrific, and every time the character is on screen, I found myself hoping for it to end. (Spoiler: it didn't.)

Rocky's gaudy outfits, and his matching them with his cars, is also slightly over-the-top - as are most things in all of KJo's "rich people only" movies. On the other hand, and while this happens maybe too quick in terms of his picking it up, his kathak dance is excellent. As is the scene in which he apologizes to her dad and gives a good monologue about his upbringing. Unfortunately, we still have to deal with his family, which is no easy matter because they're all clueless.

Dharmendra plays the role of that dadi from K3G - bringing folks together before dying. Rocky's mother and sister (especially that final 'matrimony meeting' scene) are great too. Rocky's father is only very minimally better than Jaya's character.

Alia almost seems to be playing her character from 2 States yet again, yet again falling for a guy whose maternal family head is just the absolute worst. (Also, like 2 States, this movie has some pretty good songs.)

It's not a bad movie. It's just your typical KJo/YRF-type "rich people having rich people problems" affair, though it does a pretty damn good job of bringing up some major topics (see: all of Alia's character's thoughts, monologues, and attempts to fix the very fucked up-mindset of his family) - although, I assume, a lot of that will get lost amidst the media because they're too busy debating about KJo's 'nepotism' (which, to an extent, I get - but like, Alia's proven her own acting chops, so it seems weird to focus on that here when there's plenty of other "coming from name" actors who haven't even gotten the acting ability to justify their presence in the movies).

I do like the story's attempt to hit on some of the major realities of how things need to change from this very fucked up traditional mindset that looms large - I just wish they could've found a way to make the movie just slightly less long.

Kujou Tenn: Wonderful Octave Rabbit Chat Part 4

Tsumugi: Kujou-san, good work! “Twelve Hits!” was fun!

9: Thank you. So you heard it huh.

T: Yes! You were talking about your favorite drink and some Rabbit Chats with Yaotome-san and Tsunashi-san. I was excited to hear your rare private episodes…!

9: But you’ve seen my private life enough right.

T: Because it’s rare to hear about what you are doing in the house!

9: True.

9: Right, will you give my thanks to Izumi Mitsuki? Thanks for the donuts.

T: The donuts he made for the taste testing request right!

T: Even though other requests were picked for the radio…!

9: I couldn’t eat them for the show but, afterwards, I had them with the staff.

9: It’s interesting that I could see the characteristics of the people who cooked the donuts. Izumi Mitsuki probably made the donuts with the strawberry chocolate in them.

T: That’s right! It seems he made them with Kujou-san’s image color!

9: That idea is like Izumi Mitsuki huh. They were delicious.

9: There were also round donuts with pumpkin too; they were easy to eat and not too heavy.

T: Maybe they were donuts from Re:vale-san..? Somehow I can feel Yuki-san from it lol

9: Maybe he secretly helped Momo-san.

9: And last were the Okinawa donuts.

T: I can feel them strongly…! Lol

T: The donuts Tsunashi-san and Yaotome-san made, surely!

9: Since they’re donuts from Okinawa, there was no hiding it. But they were delicious and I’m happy.

9: I’ll also thank Izumi Mitsuki in a Rabbit Chat.

T: Yes! I think Mitsuki-san will surely be happy!

T: [Smiling Kinako Stamp]

9: I’m glad that it seems you enjoyed the radio.

T: Yes! It was a really wonderful show! Kujou-san’s talk was calming and perfect for the radio!

T: It made me want to hear different radio shows from Kujou-san!

9: Different radio shows meaning what kind?

T: Right, for example...

*T: The show where you introduce a recommended movie or play!

9: Nice. I talked about that with Nikaido Yamato but I have a lot of works that I want to introduce.

T: If you perhaps choose to go on-air, I would definitely want to listen!

T: [Sparkling Kinako Stamp]

9: Ah. It’s a Rabbit Chat from Riku.

9: He seems happy that I chose his request. He said, “Thanks!”

T: It’s a great coincidence huh…! Riku-san also chose Kujou-san’s request.

T: I felt a little destiny with that…!

9: So you believe in destiny and such?

9: But I might understand how you feel.

T: [Hearts Kinako Stamp]

9: Speaking of, I’ll meet Riku before our birthday. I’m planning to give him a birthday present at that time.

9: It’s just on the way to my job though. Since it’s only once a year, maybe I can hear his wish.

9: Somehow, I thought I should say it to you.

9: Since it seems you’re concerned about our birthdays.

T: I heard that from Riku-san too!

T: It seems he’s really looking forward to being able to meet you! Please spend a wonderful birthday.

9: We’ll just meet and have tea.

T: [Smiling Kinako Stamp]

9: Ah, this time it’s from Gaku.

9: He said the radio was great.

9: He said “Did you decide what you want to do on your birthday?”

9: Since I didn’t pick the request, I haven’t thought of anything.

T: Maybe, KJO main month will come again…?!

9: [Turned away Kinako Stamp]

V2:

T: Right, for example...

T: A radio show about music!

9: I want to make a music show a light, fun show that makes people want to listen while they are driving.

T: If you perhaps choose to go on-air, I would definitely want to listen!

V3:

T: Right, for example...

T: A gourmet show where you introduce your recommended sweets!

9: Not bad. Even though I’m not selling my character as a sweets lover.

T: If you perhaps choose to go on-air, I would definitely want to listen!

HT Brunch Father’s Day Cover Story: KJo vs Daddy Jo. By Freddy Birdy - brunch feature

https://liveindiatimes.com/ht-brunch-fathers-day-cover-story-kjo-vs-daddy-jo-by-freddy-birdy-brunch-feature/

Nobody in modern India, nobody alive, at least, has been untouched by Karan Johar [I speak metaphorically, of course, but then again…].

Will the real Karan Johar please stand up? Is he the 3am confidant to the superstars? Box office mogul? Starmaker? Pop icon? Twilight dancer? Influencer? Fashion iconoclast? iPhone reflection lover? All of the above? Brand Johar is fourth only to Coke, McDonald’s and Haldiram’s in its universality, spreading across Ludhiana to NRI London. His chat shows are so intimate in their references, even the guests look slightly bewildered.

What an episode of Koffee With Karan is telling you, dear viewer, is this: I am Karan Johar. I have a lot of money. I am a genius. But I will disguise it all brilliantly in frivolity, meaningless banter and endless names dropping. I will have you glued to your television set, because your best friend is not Gauri Khan, because Katrina Kaif doesn’t ‘consult’ you about her love-life at 2:30am, and just try air-kissing Mrs. Joglekar in your building society B block, the way I do Janhvi Kapoor or Sid Malhotra.

“If anyone can walk all over Karan Johar’s heart, and send it into somersaults, back flips and a few surya namaskars, it’s his kids, Roohi and Yash”

We want to wear all those clothes he is wearing, Spanish designers with 10-word names, but on our five-figure incomes. We want to schmooze on WhatsApp with film stars, but only intimately so, with their pet name personas: Kadso and Bebo and Sha [a certain Mr. Khan, but no prizes for guessing]. We want to watch people who earn average yearly incomes about six times the annual GDP of Poland fight over the hamper like us normal real life folk trying to snatch a seat on the Virar local, next to the lady slicing bhindi for her dinner when she gets home.

We want, for one full hour, to be painfully thin, gossip about everyone and everything outside our immediate presence, pretend-sip cups of coffee, be asked ‘rapid fire‘ questions and wish we had Zoya Akhtar or Stella McCartney on speed dial [Zo, can you say, “Hello Karan it’s me?”].

Karan Johar’s twins are named after his parents: his son is called Yash after his late father, and his daughter’s name is Roohi, which is a rearrangement of the letters of his mother’s name, Hiroo

To show that he is “one of us’’, that is the average Mumbaikar who travels through two-and-a-half hours of traffic to reach work, Karan will plod to a far-flung suburban studio where he judges ordinary people on superhit reality shows. Now this is a humbler, more ‘regular’ Karan, the clothes get cheaper [Ungaro, prêt-à-porter vs Comme des Garçons, haute couture], one who cries remembering some traumatic childhood incident [My best friends Adi and Duggu got Toblerones in their school tiffin boxes, but my father was a struggling producer, so I only got, [wipes away a tear], KitKats.].

“[On Koffee With Karan], we watch people who earn yearly incomes six times the GDP of Poland, fight over a hamper!”

When a contestant will faint mid-way between a dance step, Mr Johar, in the spirit that the show must go on, will rush to the stage and perform his soul-stirring rendition of Dafliwale Dafli Baja. Here Karan could be one of us, baring his insecurities, his private traumas and beautiful vulnerabilities. Of course, that would make perfect sense, if we got paid a crore upwards an episode, pretend-chatted with Barack Obama during off takes, mock-flirted with Malaika Arora, real-ignored Kirron Kher and introduced us to new words like ‘Toodles’ and wondered how we ever said normal goodbyes before this?

One gets the sense that Karan will do anything, even sit through one of his own home productions in the cheap rexine seats of a regular movie theatre, if the price were right.

This calculated silliness might make us forget that Karan Johar is also one of Bollywood’s mega power brokers. A role in a Dharma Production isn’t just a role, it’s a career on a platter in Bollywood. Karan has gifted Indian film-going audiences with a whole new generation of stars. Start counting. Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Varun Dhawan, Sid Malhotra and Ishaan Khatter. And a young new breed of directors like Ayan Mukherjee, Shakun Batra, Tarun Mansukhani and Puneet Malhotra.

“[As a realtiy show judge], we see a more ‘regular’ Karan. The clothes get cheaper: Ungaro vs Comme des Garçons. He mock-flirts with Malaika Arora and introduces us to new words like ‘toodles’…”

He is a shrewd predictor of what we want to see on a Hindi film screen, before we even know it ourselves. Perhaps his greatest contribution to cinema might be the reduction of film titles to their crispest, barest essence. So “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’’ is a cooler K3G. And “Student of the Year’’ is a succinct SOTY.

A Karan Johar film is virtually a Yellow Pages of the Who’s Who of Bollywood. Very often there is a script. Often written by Karan himself through large Tom Ford glasses, on cocktail napkins, in first class airplane suites on the way to pose with Natasha Poonawalla on the slopes of Davos.

Script or no script, there is always high drama, grand emotion, a chubby child actor, superb song numbers, a haunting background score and some great dancing. There are certain givens. The locations will be spectacular. Jaya aunty will be there. And Amit uncle. Best friend Gauri Khan’s husband will have the leading role. Farida Jalal will play the role of the household help. And Kareena Kapoor will play the part of Kareena Kapoor. The background dancers will always be blonde. And there will always be a song and dance number with one English or Punjabi catchphrase [It’s the time to disco! Say shava shava! That’s the way, mahi ve!]. There will be laughter, tears, great costumes, helicopters, grand mansions and silver thalis.

In each of his films, Karan pays tribute to his father, producer Yash Johar

All this always, always ends in big, big bucks at the box office. In that sense he is the Sindhi Zubin Mehta, orchestrating a dream cast to make the kind of film Bollywood dreams about.

I know Karan Johar like I know Donald Trump, Yehudi Menuhin, Neil Armstrong or Rekha. Which is to say, not at all. But can anyone truly say that they don’t know Karan Johar? If you have ever been to the movies or owned a television set or a smartphone or have ever trolled someone, chances are you would know of Karan Johar. I got to know him closer during the recent lockdown.

And I got to know him through the eyes of his little children on Instagram.

One gets the sense that if anyone can walk all over Karan Johar’s heart, and send it into somersaults, back flips, lunges and a few surya namaskars, it’s his kids Roohi and Yash. And so, in between baking banana bread and watching countless Netflix reruns in lockdown, we got to see yet another avatar of Karan Johar. The father. Or dadda. On his Insta stories. Yash and Roohi both have inherited his sense of scale, drama, emotion, nuance, dialogue, spectacle and theatre. But luckily and all fingers crossed, not his dress sense.

“This calculated silliness makes us forget that Karan Johar is a shrewd predictor of what we want to see on a Hindi film screen”

So we see the kids frolicking through bedrooms and brunches and inside TV cabinets, bouncing off walls and dadda’s bed, performing impromptu dance numbers, jumping into closets and mistaking vaults for washing machines. Few kids have Karan Johar as their cinematographer and Yash and Roohi know this only too well, and they strut their stuff for dadda’s iPhone. And if I were to guess whether Karan enjoys directing Bollywood’s biggest stars on the screen more or his newest superstars Yash and Roohi, I think I know the answer.

There is Karan’s mother, the lovely Hiroo Johar eating sevpuri happily with her three loves, diamonds sparkling softly all around her, almost as dazzling as her smile.

Read more:HT Brunch Father’s Day Cover Story: The Yash and Roohi Show

The twins call Karan “Dadda”, but refer to their grandmother Hiroo Johar as “Mumma”. “I wanted them to feel like any other family,” Johar says on Page 8

There are no London or New York locations or Scottish castles, but there are romps through Gucci-lined closets and whoopy rides on LV steamer trunks. There are screen tests and there is dancing and singing, not around trees but piles of the latest Balenciaga collections. There are high teas and brunches, khandvi and dhoklas. And family chats over hamburgers. But above all this is the sound of Karan Johar laughing contentedly, having a ball. Over the years, if Karan Johar has been in love, it has been in private, as all love should be. And one gets the sense that he has squandered all his love, all his films, on his stars, on his life and on the world around him at large.

But finally, after all these years, Karan Johar, the real KJo, not the director, not the producer, not the starmaker, not the talk show host, not the serial selfie taker, is spoiling himself silly for a change.

Happy Father’s Day, Karan Johar.

Best Bollywood Movies of 2016

From Wazir to Dangal, the year 2016 has seen many downs and a few ups both in terms of quality of the movies and the business they made. Its surely one of the worst years in the past decade in terms of quality of Bollywood movies despite some of the very good movies that have set new trends. Even from a planning perspective, it was bad to see two movies competing against each other on long weekends and eating into each other’s earnings. Its almost safe to call this year a sports/biopic/individual-oriented one. Its also one of those extremely rare years where you would see SRK, Aamir, Salman, Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar films coming in one single calendar year. Here’s a look at the top 12 movies.

Twelve: Ae Dil Hai MUshkil

Karan Johar’s most-close-to-his-life-yet movie had lots of expectations with the casting coup that he has managed to pull off and the chemistry between Aish and Ranbir that we got to see in the teasers. The movie had that emotional quotient coupled with stellar performances from everybody in the cast, except that KJo went wayward both with the screenplay and story in the second half. Its safe to say that Pritam, Amitabh and Arjit combo has peaked in this movie and Pritam is going to be sureshot winner at most of the award ceremonies alongwith Arjit. I would love Amitabh also to get an award for his soulful lyrics. Ranbir will have to wait for Dutt’s biopic and Dragon to better his last hit Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani.

Eleven: Udta Punjab

Just the concept and the conviction to do such a film would be enough for this movie to get in the top ten list this year. The movie made enough pre-release noise to be taken seriously and the performaces by the four pillars of the movie, with a special mention to Alia Bhatt, has taken this movie to a different level. The movie feels loud at times, too good to be true at times, and doesn’t seem to have a well-directed path, but all is forgiven for the guts of the director to bring this out in close-to-realistic fashion. Alia Bhatt is sure to get a best actress (critics) award if not the best actress itself, where she would be facing stiff competition wth Sonam Kapoor’s Neerja.

Ten: Budhia Singh: Born to Run

Just when I thought that the career of one of the finest actors in Hindi film industry is almost over, Manoj Bajpayee gives us four features and shorts each in this year. As the coach of the Budhia singh, this role seems absolutely tailor-made for him. This is one of those rare breed of films where ‘winning a medal for the country’ is not the motive. The director seemed very clear on what he wanted the audience to see and he did not stoop down to tick off some unnecessary checkmarks that a bollywood film these days needs for survival. 48 marathons at 5 years of age could make the kid a hero, but the coach an absolute villain. The intricate relationships between the coach and the kid, the coach and his wife, the coach with himself more than watchin the kid run those marathons make the film a must watch.

Nine: Airlift

The first good movie of the year and no wonder it had Akshay playing the lead role. The strike rate of AKshay delivering hits has been phenomenal despite not delivering the blockbusters. But he just does not seem to care much about it. The variety of roles he is able to get and also produce some of those movies seem to be motivating him to explore his acting abilities. Airlift, despite all its controversies of not being faithful to facts, making a hero of the protagonist, dramatizing few incidents, underplaying the actual airlift operations, gets a thumps up for Akshay’s performance and bringing to light a 25-year old incident that very few in my generation would have known. Tere bin duniya chhod dee hai is a winner.

Eight: Kapoor and Sons

Shakun Batra comes up with and absolutely riveting story of a family. The situations, the emotions, the performances, the seeming triangle, Kar gayi chull, backdrop... there are so many aspects of film-making that get 100 marks in the movie. Alia is growing as an actor leaps and bounds. She should also be grateful for the variety of roles she is getting to play. Don’t be surprised if the film bags the story, screenplay, dialogues awards. Did I mention the grand-old Rishi is gonna sweep the supporting category at all the Awards.

Seven: Dhanak

Crystal Bear grand prix for Best Children’s Film at Berlin, Best Film Award at the Montreal International Children’s Film festival and a bunch of other international accodolades, but sadly no recognition in India. It was by a recommendation from a friend that I was reminded that the movie was in my wishlist. Beautiful performances by both the kids and a nice little narration makes the movie an absolute watch.

Six: Rustom

Akshay it is yet again. Teaming with Tinu Suresh Desai, who was Neeraj’s AD for Baby, this was yet another story that needed to be told to the current generation. Akshay played Rustom to perfection, while the director ensured the movie did not lose the plot in the second half. The courtroom scenes were undertaken pretty well and the supporting cast did not disappoint either. Akshay ensured he had a hat-trick of 100 crore movies in a calendar year which is a first to any actor/actress.

Five: MS Dhoni: The Untold Story

Neeraj Pandey, Sushant Singh Rajput and MS Dhoni. This combination was one of the most awaited one this year by me after Sultan and Dangal. Sushant nailed the MS demeanor to perfection and Neeraj ensured there was enough drama, enough heroism and enough of the untold stuff to make the wait worthy. I was actually surprised that the movie had crossed the 100 crore mark by a big margin and the credit should go to Neeraj for bringing the whole Dhoni saga to under three hours. He very wisely stayed away from controversies and that was the only complaint I had from the movie.

Four: Neerja

There are few movies where the trailer tells you this movie is gonna work and in the case of Neerja, it did not hold true. It just became a superhit in terms of box office collections and even the producers were taken aback with the response. Ram Madhvani did a good job in ensuring he did not drift away from the plot too much and Sonam Kapoor fitted into Neerja Bhanot so much that when I actually saw Neerja Bhanot’s pics, I felt Sonam Kapoor did more than justice to Neerja. Her elegance, charm and that infectious smile are right in front of my eyes while I am writing this piece. What gives the movie that extra icing is Shabana’s monologue at the end. That one act is sure to get her the best supporting actress award. Also, I sincerely hope its not Ali Abbas Zafar, or Karan Johar, or even Nitesh Tiwari for that matter, but Ram Madhvani who would walk away with the Best director trophy, if not the critics award.

Three: Pink

Pink is one movie which I did not have any expectations on, given how Amitji’s movies did not live upto the expectations this year. Maybe that’s the reason I liked the movie even more. The subject, the performances, the dialogues, the courtroom, the girls, and above all Mr Bachchan. The movie is a winner in every possible way and was a great Bollywood debut for ANirudh Roy Choudhary. The best part was the impact it had on the general public that lasted for more than two weeks. This is a rare breed of female-oriented movies where its not the females, but Mr Sehgal that walks away with the accolades. Dont be surprised if Amitabh walks away with yet another Best Actor Award.

Two: Dangal

Despite ranking Pink at 3, and Sultan as the top movie, I think it would be only fair to rate the three movies as number 1. Dangal had blocbuster written all over it right from the making. And that was the challenge. How could it be attained. We already had the biggest blockbuster of the year and it was based on wrestling, Haryana, the sandpits, the international competitions, the junoon. How different would Dangal be from Sultan. And the answer was the theme itself. While the backdrop for both the movies was different, Sultan was a romantic love story while Dangal was father-daughter love story. And there it was. Despite the innumerable wrestling bouts, it was the emotional turmoil a father was going through by punishing his daughters to make them the best, was what the movie showcased in a very convincing fashion. And needless to say, Aamir ensured no stone was left unturned and we are going to end the year with an-time blockbuster. Awards for direction and best movie alongwith Action are almost certain.

One: Sultan

Jab Eid aati hai, tab Bhaayi aata hai. Aur har Eid ko record thodtaa hai. Dabanng, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijan and Sultan. Each movie bettered the other and Salman has remained the undisputed king this decade. Sultan gave India its first truly blockbuster pure sports film. I had wondered all my life if India could produce a movie like Raging Bull or a Rocky, and Ali Abbas Zafar has given the entire nation this one movie which we could be proud of for a generation to come. The best part is the narrative seemed so true that people would believe if they are told its a biopic. The music, the performances, the emotions, the drama ensured the Sultan tsunami swept the whole earth away. ‘Khooon mein teri mitti, mitti mein tera khoon, oppra allah neeche dharti , beech mein tera junoon… Rrey Sultan’ on one side and the signature Sultan slam on the other elevated Salman enough for his die-hard fans. All in all, it was not just a perfect Eid gift, but also the best gift of the year.

Karan Johar shares a throwback picture with BFF Shah Rukh Khan and its hilarious caption will leave you in splits - Times of India

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/karan-johar-shares-a-throwback-picture-with-bff-shah-rukh-khan-and-its-hilarious-caption-will-leave-you-in-splits-times-of-india/

9 Celebrities Who Did Films For Free In Bollywood

9 Celebrities Who Did Films For Free In Bollywood Shivani K Hyderabd040-395603080 December 31, 2019

We always think that Bollywood stars are rest assured a bigger paycheck every time they sign a new movie project. They are assured larger payouts no matter how small-budget or big-budget a movie is or whether it’s a dual or multi-starrer movie. And often we come across rumors about this or that a blockbuster actor demanding a huge paycheck for a feeble role in the movie; we get to hear stories surrounding the arrogance and attitude that actors showcase on movie sets. However, we seldom come across stories about actors who’ve worked in a movie and charged nothing, isn’t it? But it’s true you know, there are many actors who have charged nothing for their role in certain movies; they do out it of pure love for the challenging character they are playing or out of professional respect towards the filmmaker.

And these are the very instances when we realize and come across the more human and dildaar side of Bollywood actors. Now, let’s take a look at some of the movie stars who’ve worked in films for free. P.S. the seventh on this list has played way too many roles in different movies for free. Read on to know more.

1. Farhan Akhtar

via GIPHY

This movie which was based on the true life story of India’s fastest runner, Milkha Singh was a much awaited movie of that particular year. The movie’s background story was that of a blooming love amidst the chaos of the India-Pakistan partition and how later Milkha found his passion in running. The role of Milkha Singh was portrayed by none other than the multi-talented Farhan Akhtar. For his role in the movie, Farhan lost a lot of weight and toned his muscles to look like how a runner looks— skinny and fit. His acting in the movie won him many awards too. Now, guess how much he must have charged for this movie? INR 11 only!

2. Deepika Padukone

via GIPHY

They say that the first impression is the best impression, isn’t it? And when we saw Deepika Padukone for the first time on the big screen in her debut movie Om Shanti Om, the audience, the rest of the Bollywood industry, everybody was mesmerized with her talent. She charged zero amount for her debut movie as she considered herself fortunate enough that she was launched in a movie that had the King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan as the lead.

3. Shahid Kapoor

via GIPHY

Shahid had a rejuvenated image in the industry after his movie Kaminey was loved by the critics. People saw him as a real artist and not like a cute-chocolate boy anymore. And when director Vishal Bharadwaj offered him the lead role in the movie Haider, Shahid jumped at the offer. Interestingly, he loved and believed in the script so much that he didn’t charge a single penny for it. This movie, yet again, proved how brilliant an actor Shahid is.

4. Kareena Kapoor Khan

via GIPHY

Remember the movie Billu? Okay, it was too flop a movie to remember we guess. But we’re sure that you remember the song Marjaani in which Kareena is seen shaking a leg with SRK. So, yeah, Kareena did that project for free for SRK. And it doesn’t just end there. The viral item song of the movie Dabangg 2— Fevicol Se was loved by everybody in the country because of Kareena’s performance. Kareena performed this one too for free. In spite of having the pressure to keep up with the first movie Dabangg’s Munni Badnaam Hui, she didn’t charge a penny and in fact, she nailed the performance.

5. Amitabh Bachchan

via GIPHY

He is a mesmerizing veteran actor of the industry. And those who are from the industry already know that every single minute that Amitabh Bachchan dedicates to a project, it costs you a lot of money. But Amitabh Bachchan also has a humble side of him. Remember the movie Black that starred Amitabh and Rani Mukherjee in the lead role? It was the kind of a movie we had never seen before. Apparently, Amitabh Bachchan didn’t charge a penny for the movie.

6. Katrina Kaif

via GIPHY

Katrina Kaif left everybody awe-struck with her performance in the item song, Chikni Chameli in the movie Agneepath 2. She did this dance number for free as a friendly gesture to Karan Johar. KJo was so overwhelmed with this gesture that he gifted Kat a Ferrari, well, we only wish we had such friends, isn’t it?

7. Salman Khan

via GIPHY

This man has a heart of gold! He’s way too generous! And he never says “no” whenever any director or producer approaches him asking him to do a cameo role in the industry. His cameos in movies like Fugly, Tees Maar Khaan, Son Of Sardaar, were all done for free!

8. Rani Mukherjee

via GIPHY

We are all aware that Kajol is the lucky mascot for KJo. Whenever Karan Johar directs a movie, he makes sure Kajol appears on screen even if it’s just for few minutes. Turns out that he also has another mascot and that’s Rani for you. Remember her brief role in the blockbuster family movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham? She did that for free!

9. Nawazuddin Siddiqui

via GIPHY

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a true performer onscreen and he’s been proving it time and again in his movies. The actor has done many films for free purely because he loved the script and more importantly his role in the movie. He believes in portraying characters onscreen that are very challenging. When he did the movies, Haraamkhor and Manto, he didn’t charge a penny.

The above-mentioned actors have proved their passion towards their profession by being so generous. Do you know of anybody else who fits in this category of actors? Let us know in the comments below.

Baaghi 2 Review: What A Circus!

'There's zero feeling and rationale in anything about Baaghi 2,' says Sukanya Verma.

There's an solidity in his hyper-muscular teeth-gnashing, jumping-to-pound fervour. But the celebrity looks so keen to recreate Sylverster Stallone's system gun-blasting imagery, a good deal of it features in Baaghi two 's bang and boom climax already. Having survived the first Baaghi, I sort of understood what is coming.

Shroff does seem to have grown-up. He seems to have acquired a personality and a loyal fan following among the youthful audiences. His body appears to have gained more muscles, bronze and elasticity. There are ways in which his shirt is torn as he goes about being Rambo-like, destroying the enemy. Buff is gone by him for the scenes but dunks to the bathtub completely dressed, shoes included. The masala mayhem is choreographed as the song-n-dance and he is athletic and agile in both. However, there is still a lot of catching up to do on chops. The face stays though the affectations -- pouts, moist-eyed and dreamy look -- have reduced considerably.

To the army respect is shown in these days of frenzy; cops can be awful, armymen can't. So our young soldier, even in the midst of the mayhem he unleashes in the police station respects the tricolour and the cop's hat--he will not let them fall on the floor, will catch them mid-air when they're being flung around, together with individual bodies.

Disha Patni is indeed insipid, I can't decide what I'm feeling is exasperation or amazement. Instead of writing a conventional review, I decided to share some ideas while viewing this movie that was supremely 21, I penned down. Tiger Shroff is. Just four decades and still waiting. Too bad there's no option for fast-forward.

The hero gets his standard flashback that is romantic. (Although why he's fooling about as a pupil from KJo school of thought instead of already enlisted in NDA defeats me)

Later, the villain gets a flashback; a flashback is got by the villain's consort. All I need are my 144 minutes back.

Tiger's allure burns the display and tramples scepticism in favour of a good time. Frustrating the way that it never goes past the promise of potential.

1 cop is punched in the face, a couple of teeth fly off, but return just in time for the next scene. Tiger ShowOff! Throw into a eyes-above-muddy river instant from Apocalypse Now and King Kong-style music cue and jealousy, what have you got? Again the hero, from the virtue of being hero, gets flashbacks. Army man Tiger flies straight to Goa carrying this lightweight luggage, but the amount of clothes he changes into in a matter of days is stupefying.

There is zero logic and emotion in anything about Baaghi 2.

At the risk of it being a spoiler I need to point out the departure the movie makes from Hindi films of yore. When the hero has managed to wipe out the villain and his cronies normally in our films that the cops come in late. Here cops are present throughout, it's the military that arrives in the fag end, only to inform the hero that"the war is over". Is the movie, thankfully. Manoj Bajpayee and Randeep Hooda are celebrities that are smart. Not because they've done some great work in Baaghi two . However, because they realise how small that this baloney requires. We shall not flog an horse no telling you how bad Jacqueline Fernandez's oversexualised but plastic version of'Ek do teen' is. At the opposite end of the feminine presence in the film is the tender and coy heroine Neha (Disha Patni) who assertively says,"I carry pepper spray","I despise stalking" but voluntarily gives into the boy who has been relentlessly chasing her.

Whenever there's a sale 16, note to self: Buy one of these rucksack thingies.

His bare body is pummelled like some bug-infested mattress. Yet not 1 scratch appears on that sculpted torso. There's another shade of reddish on forehead and Disha's face, its place varies as per the mood of make-up man.

And Manoj Bajpayee can hide his smugness over being remunerated off biscuits for polishing and saying lines such as'Get the machines.'

A bowl of gruel could have given a much better feeling of suffering than that which Disha does in this picture.

The Baaghi franchise -- there's a third one in the works -- is about ex-boyfriends coming into their woman's rescue until it culminates at a tooth-and-nail final battle.

Another personality --a righteous Muslim representation called Usman (who speaks about how his community is as much about kurbaani as biryani) describes his wife as the"Russian cutlet' who cooks and rears his kids. Then there is the fauji hero Ronny (Tiger Shroff) who comes to the civilian world on depart from nationalistic duties to assist Neha, also his ex-sweetheart, figure her out daughter. When one of those cops makes a pass at her, the entire police station turns in Goa down. Though a number of these audiences may get thrilled at how Ronny breaks the teeth of their sleazy cop (all in close-up), I had been wondering at the film patronising women on the one hand while talking about rescuing their izzat on the opposite. Then there are some jokes Kute and Kale-- that the cop that was invisible named Bosco, who retains yelling at the drop of a hat. From the title of a story you are served several strung scenes, which, in their inanity, can get quite amusing occasionally together but largely bore you to death. There are a number of throwaways that are easy. The moment you find a character wearing all white, you know he is all inside. A whole lot of actors are made to perform odd characters with Manoj Bajpayee, Randeep Hooda and Prateik Babbar gamely acting out.

Taking into consideration the trauma her personality is currently undergoing, her do not -like-my-photo-on-Aadhaar-card degree of intensity barely cuts it. An individual could show up only for the final 20 minutes of their Baaghi films and still not miss anything. The very best thing I could say about Baaghi 2 is that it does have its moments of'so bad it's good' gratification in Prateik Babbar's hammy dope head, the babyish wailing of a constable assisting Hooda and Tiger's bizarre boss, the man could put caricatures to shame with his'The war is over' solemnity. Continuity continues to be a sore spot for bruises and fictional injuries.

How about a few ikat or even phulkari next time?

Forget vain Tiger's commando is, I can't stop marvelling at how much of a person's wardrobe a rucksack can take. By the way how many Rambos is Tiger Shroff? There is already an official movie at the pipeline. If this dexterity that is much can be delivered by a guy imagine what he can accomplish under script that is capable and a genuine manager? The hippy, higher cop of hooda bears an uncanny similarity to actor Amole Gupte and manager. Like he cares in the event you notice he doesn't look.

Unless the nonsense that precedes it under the pretext of incentive retains any attention to you. Baaghi two , choreographer turned director Ahmed Khan's junky remake of the Telugu hit Kshanam is not any different.

Right from'Why on earth is Disha's father so opposed to her match with Tiger's to'that has got to be the strangest reason for kidnapping ever,' Baaghi two 's laughable twists and slyness are sloppy and forced. Just like that completely needless early sequence inspired by the true incident of an army officer linking a Kashmiri neighborhood on jeep.
