No four-letter word for Vidya Balan!

Vidya Balan who plays the scorching hot village belle in Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’ has mouthed quite a few expletives in the movie. Well if it is to be a Vishal Bhardwaj film then a few slip in the tongue and spicy rustic language is to be expected here and there, but apparently Vidya, who plays the character called Krishna in Vishal’s production was in for a shock when she realized that she has to say ch-ya more often than she thought of!

The ‘Parineeta’ actress recalls, “It is quite natural for a girl like Krishna who comes from a very aggressive background to use abusive language,” but she confesses, “As Vidya I am hesitant to use abusive language. During reading sessions I would say CSO4 because I was uncomfortable saying it out loud, but luckily I opened up in front of the camera.”

Vidya who is born and brought up in a typical south Indian Iyer family laughs, “South Indians don’t even know Hindi so how will they know Hindi gallis (expletives)!”

Also, Vidya is averse to people who use abusive language she says, “Once my director shouted and used foul language after that I just couldn’t do my shot.”

Looks like potty mouths hold no charm for Vidya Balan!

Fun Mode : Kishore-da's Unbridled Enthusiasm

Just the other day I was listening to Kishore songs, not the sad depressing numbers which can make even a normal person melancholic, but some fun songs for a change. One thing that came out loud and clear was the fact that he enjoyed singing those songs, however silly the lyrics was or however absurd the tunes were; he gave it his all.

If a singer himself does not seem kicked about a song, how will he ever enthuse others? That’s the feeling I get when I hear those inane new talents on the numerous talent hunt shows. They come, they sing, they don’t even bother to work on the comments given by the judges [some of the judges are not even worth their salt, better not hear their comments at all] and mechanically appear again in some other show.

Anyways, back to Kishore da. He totally gets into the mood, full-on, unplugged. There are legends about Kishore and the manner in which he rendered the Khaike Paan Banaraswala number. It goes like this: Kishore actually asked for a bunch of pans which come in those cases [as seen in Padosan] and a peek-daan to spit out the paan. He sat on the floor or some kinda bed and literally rambled the words Bhang Ka Rang Jama Ho Chaka-chak. I go back to my previous para where I mentioned that unless the singer does not enjoy the song, there is very less chance that others will. And Kishore was a master of that. The kind of energy that he would blow into the song and the infectious jovial nature is unparalleled.

Since his Padosan songs have been talked about no end, I shall refrain from doing so. Let me talk about his other songs, especially from the black & white era. In the same genre as Mere Bhole Balam from Padosan was a song called Gaana Na Aya Bajana Na Aya, Dilbar Ko Apna Bana Na Aya. Its a hilarious song that blows your top-off. Kishore is seen trying to create a new song and the result is pure comedy. The lyrics were again by Rajendra Krishen and music by Hemant da. There is a small Brit accent piece, Kishore trying an imitation, really funny. Who could imagine the ever-serious Hemant Kumar composing such a number, but such was the exuberance of Kishore that everyone was affected by it. Also seen in the video clip is Gemini Ganesan along with Meena Kumari who are baffled by Kishore’s antics. Probably the only time that the south matinee was seen with Kishore in the same frame.

How funny can Kishore da get? Well, turns out very funny. So funny that in the movie Aansoo Aur Muskaan, there is a song picturised on Kishore in a ashram which is called Swami Kishore-aanandam Kirtan Ashram. And the song itself is Guni Jano Bhakt Jano, which sees Kishore in the garb of a sadhu. The lyrics of the song even goes on to list all the stars of bollywood in a fine spin of words sounding like bhajan

brahmaande he koti sitaram prithvi par bhi anek sitaram

arre aashirvadam ashok-kumaram

prithvi-putram raja-kapuram shammi-kapuram shashi-kapuram

ramam shyamam dilip-kumaram purab-pashchim manoj-kumaram

arre premapujari dev-anandam, roopa-pujari IS-joharam

arre nilam-kamalam raj-kumaram, yade yadam sunil-dattam

are ittefaqam rajesh-khannam jai jaani rajendra-natham

uchhalamakudam jai mahamudam

Two of the wackiest Kishore songs feature Pran, and Kishore himself in motley attire, thats pure coincidence. In Cheel Cheel Chillake, he is dressed in a school uniform, probably on some tour in scouts jamboree. The movie was Half Ticket, I haven’t been able to see the movie yet. But if the movie is even half as good as the song, then it shall be a treat to watch.

No one can forget a pre-supposed duet song being sung by the same singer. Kishore achieved that feat in Aake Seedhi Lagi where he not only cross-dressed but also cross-voiced. He sang as Kishore for Pran and then as squeaky/screechy and rustic village-belle-Kishore for himself. I am not even finding words to describe Kishore’s ludicrous yet fantastic act. No one could have pulled it off, but him.

‘Kahani Kismat Ki’ had an unprecedented song picturisation. And much before Dharamendra had climbed atop a tank in Sholay, he was seen in a crane elevated carrier singing Rafta Rafta Dekho Aankh Meri Ladi Hai; which he does after gathering a small crowd. Towards the end, he even starts singing ghati lyrics which is hilarious, and an embarassed Rekha looks around for some kind of sanity.

Then, there is the Eena Meena Deeka number. The mukhda of the song is a string of garbled words that make no sense but have been sung with great conviction as though it were the commandments. Kishore totally believed in the song and executed it with perfection, just watch his choreography; amazing. And the lyrics of the song has some insensible wisdom. Check this

Mat socho ki sasta hai sauda

Phal paayega lagayega jo paudha

Dil ki ye kyaari banegi phulwaari

Ye duniya jalegi, jalan ki hai maari

Hasegi hasegi hasegi meri pyaari

If you thought Kishore had sung only romantic and sad songs for Rajesh Khanna, then you are wrong. Rajesh Khanna too had a fair share of Kishore’s masti songs. One of them being the Saasu Tirath, Sasura Tirath from the movie Souten. The lyrics literally mean that in-laws are are to be worshipped and visited regularly as a duty and a pilgrimage.

Another lesser spoken about song from the movie ‘Chalti Ka Naam Gadi’  was Hum The Wo Thi Aur Samaa Rangeen Samajh Gaye Na. The two brothers, Anup and Kishore, discussing the forbidden topic of an encounter with a woman which Anup hasn’t had and Kishore teases him with lyrics which go like this:

Khoya Mai Kaise Uski Baton Mei

Kehta Hoon Dam To Lene Do Ahhaha

Khoyi Woh Kaise Meri Baaton Mei

Kehta Hoon Dam To Lene Do Ahhaha

Kya Kya Keh Dala Aankho Aankho Mei

Kehta Hoon Dam To Lene Do Ahhha

Another song from the same movie, worth mentioning, is the Panch Rupaiya Barah Aana song. It so happens that Kishore repairs Madhubala’s car and she still owes him Rs.5.75. And Kishore is out to get that money, even if it means earning it by entertaining her.Watch Kishore dressed in leather pants, jacket and a feathered cap. And watch him each time he says Chahe Namoona Dekh Le and tunrs up in a different costume. This song later became an inspiration for a song in movie ‘Jeevan Ek Sanghursh’, where Amit Kumar crooned Dede Mera Dede Tu Bees Rupaiya, Twenty Rupees My Twenty Rupees.

Vinod Khanna has rarely been seen in comical acts, except for the movie Hera Pheri with BigB. But in this song Priye Praneshwari from movie ‘Hum Tum Aur Woh’ is a song which sees Vinod Khanna in never-seen-before getup. The only other funny getup Vinod Khanna ever did was in Hera Pheri. In this song, Vinod is singing to his lady love in chaste hindi and even I did not know the meaning of a few of those words. The lyrics of the song and Kishore’s rendition is just awesome.

priye praaneshwari, hridayeshwari

yadi aap hamey aadesh karey to

prem ka hum shri ganesh karey

If anyone is depressed, thinking about love and missing their loved ones, should listen to Hum To Mohabbat Karega from ‘Dilli Ka Thug’. Its another comical song which describes the extent to which a person can go, to prove his love and to stay with loved ones. After hearing words like Joota Polish Karega Tel Maalish Karega, they are bound to smile at their own stupidity and limitless affection for their loved one, what with thoughts like … joota paalish karega lekin tum par marega, laila laila karega thandi aahen bharega and doobegaa nahin tairega pyaar se ham nahin darega

A song which encapsulates the qualities that a man looks for in a woman is very humorously penned in Zaroorat Hai Zaroorat Hai Zaroorat Hai, Ek Shirimati Ki, Kalavati Ki, Seva Karey Jo Pati Ki. It may sound a bit regressive, but its to be taken with a pinch of salt; because the song is really a romantic one at heart. Sample this:

haseen hazaaro bhi ho khadey, magar usi par nazar padey ho zulf gaalo se khelti, ke jaise din raat se ladey adaaon mei bahaar ho, nigaahon mei khumaar ho qabool mera pyaar ho to kya baat hai itar mein saanse basi basi, vo mastiyo mei rasi rasi zara si palkein jhuki jhuki, bhavey ghaneri kasi kasi phoolon mei gulaab ho khud apna jawaab ho vo pyar ki kitab ho to kya baat hai

And with Kishore enacting it, his facial expressions and the naugtiness in the voice was great.

This is just the beginning of a long list of Kishore-da’s songs which continue to enthrall us. The man was a complete maverick and no one entertained us, the way he did; whether it was infront of the camera or behind it, be it in the recording studios or shooting a movie. Whereever there was a fun moment, he was there; or may I put it like this – wherever he was there, there were fun moments. So, please go ahead and list your fave Kishore songs which tickled your funny bone, I am sure that won’t be a tough task!

[trailer] 3 Idiots

iseng2 saya blogwalking ke link2 blog yang saya miliki, termasuk blognya Upi Avianto. salah satu postingan Upi menceritakan sebuah film yang baru Upi tonton, 3 Idiots. saya baca postingan blog Upi, hmm.. sepertinya menarik. tapi saya tidak belum bergeming.

kemudian saya menjelajahi twitter penulis2 ibukota, baik penulis lagu, penulis skenario, maupun penulis novel beneran. kembali saya menemukan film 3 Idiots disebut2 disana. barulah saya iseng men-googling 3 Idiots.

saya baru tergerak untuk mencari trailer 3 Idiots di youtube setelah membaca penjelasan film tersebut dari wikipedia. pertama2 saya mencari trailer 3 Idiots dengan keyword yang salah, yaitu HANYA 3 Idiots saja, tanpa 3 Idiots with english subtitles. kesalahan idiot tersebut baru saya sadari setelah kebingungan menonton trailer tersebut dengan hanya berbahasa hindi saja (tanpa english subtitles). ini dia trailer dari 3 Idiots (yang benar) dengan english subtitles:

trailer yang sangat sebentar.. tapi sepertinya lucu kalau dilihat dari mimik pemain2nya. trailer yang pertama (tanpa subtitles, walaupun tidak mengerti tapi terlihat kocak)  sukses membuat saya menunggu film ini keluar di Bandung. setelah saya cek di 21 dan Blitz, film ini sampai dengan saat ini (07/02/2010) baru main di Blitz Megaplex Pacific Place Jakarta.

kalau benar jadi saya menonton film ini nantinya, maka 3 Idiots menjadi film Bollywood kedua yang saya tonton setelah Slumdog Millionaire hehe

Movie Review: Striker (2010)

4 Stars (out of 4)

When I sat in front of my computer to watch Striker on YouTube, I had some concerns. I was glad that I didn’t have to drive over an hour to the only theater near me that was showing it, but I wondered if I’d be as immersed in the experience watching it at home as I would be in the theater. Within minutes, Striker’s riveting characters put my fears to rest.

Striker flashes back and forth through three time periods in the life of Surya (Siddharth), a young man who lives in Malvani, a Mumbai ghetto. As a child in 1977, he watches his older brother playing carrom — a table game like billiards, where small wooden disks are flicked with the fingers into corner pockets. Surya excels at the game but loses interest as he gets older.

Flash forward to 1988. Surya works as a courier who specializes in transporting jewelry and large amounts of cash. Because it’s a risky job — he’s responsible for repaying the money if he’s robbed en route — Surya pays a broker to find him a lucrative manual labor job in Dubai.

When the broker disappears with Surya’s money, his childhood friend, Zaid (Ankur Vikal), comes up with a scheme to get it back: playing carrom for money. Zaid runs errands for the local don, Jaleel (Aditya Pancholi), and is able to get Surya into some high stakes games.

Jaleel is, of course, not to be trusted. He and his goons don’t brandish weapons openly, but there’s an unmistakable air of menace about them. Zaid isn’t much more reliable, given his drug use and frequent arrests. And the rules governing life in Malvani are in flux after the arrival of a tough police inspector, Farooque (Anupam Kher).

In 1992, a time when religious riots are engulfing Malvani, Surya turns to Inspector Farooque for help. The movie begins and ends in this timeframe.

Striker opens with a note from the filmmaker, Chandan Arora, stating that the movie is based on true stories from people who live in Malvani. The movie’s structure, which shows Surya at various points in his life rather than following one linear narrative, makes Surya seem more like a real person than a typical hero. He’s not the poor kid who grows up to transcend his meager upbringing by leading a righteous life. He’s a guy who doesn’t have many options and occasionally tries to make good choices, but often doesn’t.

Zaid is the most interesting character in the film. Vikal plays Zaid as just charming enough to get by without any real vocation or goals. But, from the moment he shows up in the 1988 timeframe, it’s clear that whatever fate awaits Zaid is not a happy one.

Striker is wonderfully atmospheric. Malvani isn’t a slum as decrepit as the one in Slumdog Millionaire. It’s a neighborhood with houses and shops and various places to get into trouble. The carrom-playing scenes are as evocative as any scenes set in the smoky pool halls of Hollywood films. Appropriately, there are no song-and-dance numbers. Striker will appeal to fans of mainstream American films, inviting them to explore Indian movies beyond the musical masala fare.

Runtime: 2 hrs. 7 min.

Notes on the YouTube viewing experience:

I was impressed with the quality of the YouTube rental experience. The movie downloaded in its entirety almost immediately, so I didn’t have to pause and wait for the video to load. The English subtitles appeared in white text on a black band below the main movie, making them easier to read against a consistently colored background (and, I presume, easier to ignore if you don’t need them). I’d happily rent more movies from YouTube in the future, especially if they’re made available the same day as the theatrical release.

Bollywood Stars prove they are mere celluloids

With IPL questioned by cricket lovers for not having any Pakistani players this coming tournament, it was Sharukh Kahn’s (SRK) right to say he wishes to see Pakistani cricketers play in India. That was given a political or rather a racist twist by Shiv Sena leaders in Mumbai and SRK’s film “My Name is Khan” is being targeted, while it is premièred at the Berlin International Film Festival and set to be screened in many parts of India from 12 Feb, in a few days.

Shiv Sena leader Udhav Thackeray went public, saying SRK should withdraw his statement about seeing Pakistani cricketers and also apologise, or face the consequence of having his film “My Name is Khan” targeted if screened. Sadly, Thackeray does not know that most Bollywood heroes are Hindu, but are often played by a Khan and accepted by filmgoers as their hero without exceptions.

Unfortunately for India, the tide is against all that diversity and therefore democracy, though politicians still prefer to talk ball about rich diversity and a large democracy in India. In practice, racist politics have been allowed its day, with the raising of slogans against “terrorism” across its Pakistani borders, implying they are “Muslim” terrorists. Mumbai 26/11 terror attacks have given this platform of racism a new lease of life, with State governments like in Maharashtra avoiding the use of law against racist incitements.

This has other ramifications too in a country that has a rich and popular entertainment industry spreading across different societies, large and small. Its every one’s knowledge that Bollywood has a bigger budget than Hollywood and is dependent on its huge clientèle, the public. Its comparatively much more dependent on the local filmgoer than the Hollywood industry. Also, Bollywood grew in stature with “Indian” nationalism different to Hollywood which is American sans nationalism and borders.

Therefore, the Bollywood film industry has always played it “safe” when it came to national issues with religious or linguist twists. Whom would Bachans, Kapoors, Khans, or even Kaifs and Shettys chose when the clash is between two religious or linguistic segments that patronise their films and contribute to their stardom ? The film industry has its very personalised aspect with a social capital that is private for the individual which makes it different to other businesses with equally big investments. That in a way is a “selfish” mentality seen often in jibes and wibes in the film industry.

Despite such pettiness in a film industry with much social impact, fortunately for Indian democracy, SRK has decided to stick to his right to express his views in challenging the threat by Shiv Sena.

Yet, unfortunately for India, the extremist Hindutva groups and anti Muslim sentiments keep the divide growing in its society, pushing the Hindu social psyche to suspect all Muslims and the Muslim psyche getting shaped to feel they are being watched with suspicion and is being targeted. This provides crores of votes for racist politicians at elections at the expense of “terrorist” infiltrations into a divided and suspect society.

Indian democracy needs to be strengthened, for which opinion makers, public leaders, creative artistes, social activists and professionals in all disciplines have to stand against racist politics, not only for peaceful diversity in the country, but also to cultivate a culture that accepts dissent and different points of views. That makes the rich and comfortable “stars” from Bollywood responsible too in defending their own right to take positions on national and impportant issues and defend the rights of others.

The naivety of real life Bollywood heroes nevertheless proves they are different to heroes on celluloid,. Sadly, there aren’t Bhuvans (Lagaan) or Veerus and Thakurs (Sholay) in real life India today, it seems.

This cry against freedom of expression by sectarian racist groups in the largest democracy in the world, is yet to be condemned by its democratic leaders and is feared it would not be. SRK thus needs the strength of other responsible citizens and democratic groups, to stand firm as he does and prove Indian democracy does not allow bullying by racists.

Its a test of sincerity of principles and integrity for the big and bright “stars” and a challenge for the ordinary citizens in defending the right to express opinions and views in a democracy.

SRK bats for Pakistani Players in IPL

New Delhi: Kolkata Night Sleepers owner and Bollywood’s leading actor, SRK, has sparked a debate here in the nation’s capital when he went public with his support for Pakistani players in IPL.

“I truly believe they (Pakistani players) should have been chosen. They are the best T20 players; they are the champions; they are wonderful; they are beautiful; they are charming; they are irresistible.”, the star actor told the media*****.

Amidst media speculations the question of why Mr Khan himself did not bid for any Pakistani players for Night Sleepers side remains unanswered.

Earlier, the IPL auction had left the nation divided (or so NTV’s Bardha Bhatt claims) when all of the teams refused to bid for any Pakistani players. On one side are people who think the teams did the right thing by excluding the Pakistanis. The other side, The Mockalist observes, had found no takers till Mr Khan with his characteristic ignorance about anything but Kiran Joker’s movie scripts convened the press conference today morning.

When reached for a comment on his team owner’s remarks, Dada informed The Mockalist that he does not share Mr Khan’s views.

“Those are his thoughts. As a team owner it is his money and up to him to decide on which players he should pick up for the side.” Dada told The Mockalist. “After Nicky Bonting’s withdrawal, this is like an icing on the cake for me.  Boom Boom was eyeing the captaincy. With our coach’s strategy of picking up the worst player in the side to be the captain, I must tell you Boom Boom was giving me tough competition.”

Bollywood reacts

While we wait for more comments from the cricket fraternity, B town was quick to respond to King Khan’s latest slip of tongue.

Garib Khan who is on a vacation after the success of his latest movie 3 Actors told The Mockalist that he is hurt to see that his movie Sitaare Zameen Par had little effect on the perpetrators of IPL. In a post made in his blog the shorter Khan said that it is high time that Indians should learn to accept people with mental disabilities. How ever, he refused to reveal who he meant to be mentally disabled, King Khan or Pakistani players.

Kiran Joker released a statement clarifying confusion regarding King Khan’s intentions. He said SRK knows how to separate cricket from Bollywood and it is ridiculous to the point of stupidity to link the support for Pakistani Players with the release of his new movie Myself King Khan. The movie is set to release in Pakistan and Middle east countries.

***** The Mockalist apologizes for its correspondent’s lack of familiarity with some of the adjectives King Khan used to further describe Pakistani players. At this point we can only reveal that some of these words sounded very colloquial to the state of California. This correspondent is suspended from The Mockalist pending investigation. In his defence, though, he presented some snippets of Mr Khan’s undecipherable mumble which vaguely read “Afraidi’s hair..” and “Shoiab’s shoulders..”
