Release postponed….

ZendaZelia — Sat, 10 May 2008 05:03:50 +0000

JIMMY and JANNAT due for release this week have now been postponed.

JIMMY features Mimoh Chakraborty, the son of the original Disco Dancer, Mithun Chakraborty and JANNAT is the comeback film of the serial kisser,Emraan Hashmi have both been postponed.

JIMMY, which was scheduled to release on May 9th and JANNAT, which was set for a May 2nd release have both gone ahead to the same date. The two very different projects are now likely to see an interesting clash on the 16th of May. It may augar well for both considering that their publicity has not yet reached the peak.

While the audio of JIMMY has just been released, it will definitely take some time to grow. On the other hand, the music of JANNAT has started dominating the charts, with the two songs, ‘Lambi Judaai’ and ‘Zara Si’ already quite popular. However the publicity of JANNAT has not really been upto the standards associated with Vishesh Films and hopefully they will do the needful with more time at hand.

Bhoothnath: Movie Review

ZendaZelia — Fri, 09 May 2008 07:03:21 +0000

Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Aman Siddiqui, Juhi Chawla, Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanshu Chatterji

Director: Vivek Sharma

Amitabh Bachchan is an actor par excellence and that is obvious in the way each of his characters differs from the next one. True to form we have yet another spectacular and memorable performance from the Big B.

In this endeavour, he is well supported by veterans like Satish Shah and Rajpal Yadav. Juhi Chawla as Anjali Sharma and a special appearance by Shah Rukh all add to the story, but the crowd stealer is Amitabh as Bhootnath. Aman Siddiqui as Banku( Aman Sharma), the mischievous kid with a heart of gold is great. His interactions with Bhootnath form the back bone of this much awaited summer release.

It’s believed that children have the strongest connection to god. They have the ability to perceive Goodness in everything and everyone.

This is a story about a seven-year-old naughty yet innocent boy, who unknowingly turns a foe into a friend.This is a story about Banku and his friend, Bhoothnath…about innocence, honesty and the pure love of a child.

Bhoothnath is the story of a ghost named Nath (Amitabh Bachchan) who makes it impossible for anyone to stay in his home in Goa since his death. Things are so bad that even taxi drivers refuse to chauffer anyone as soon as they hear that Nath Villa is the destination. But that’s till Nath comes across Banku (Aman Siddiqui) – the new kid who has moved in with his parents Anjali (Juhi Chawala) and Aditya (SRK) into Nath Villa.

So while the rest of the city trembles at the thought of the family staying there, Banku is too busy making friends with Nath whom he calls his Angel. For Banku there is nothing like a ghost. Slowly and steadily the two forge a deep friendship much to everyone’s confusion because no one but Banku can see this so called Angel.

During one incident Banku with the help of his Angel gets his school mate out of trouble. But this only causes a rumour spreading fast across the school about Banku’s special friend. As a result the principal hauls both Banku and Anjali into his office and gives him the final warning. Anjali upset with her son’s constant mischief reprimands him and gives him a slap. Unable to prove himself, Banku sulks and doesn’t speak to either Bhoothnath or his mother.

However, soon its time for Banku’s fancy dress competition and when another mother comments on how Banku is dressed exactly like ‘Nath uncle’ does reality hit home for Anjali. Heading home after the competition with Banku, Anjali comes home to find herself dealing with a group of builders who have been given permission by Nath’s son Vijay (Priyanshu Chatterji) to build a resort there. Hearing this Nath gets very angry and raises a storm – literally! And that’s when she finally comes face to face with her son’s Angel and learns the real truth about Nath and his ghostly existence.

Now that Anjali knows of Bhothnath she sets about helping his ghost to finally stop wandering. And how after setting up a ‘shrad’ ( prayer service for the departed soul) at home Banku, Anjali, Aditya and Nath’s son - Vijay - finally help Angel achieve mukti is what the rest of the film is all about.

It is believed a mother’s love is selfless. But a child’s love can transform relationships; it comes with no expectations and no boundaries. Their love can make you believe in miracles.

Bhoothnath is a story about a little innocence, a little playfulness, and a lot of emotions that will touch hearts.This is a story that will show adults to see the world through the eyes of a child… an angel, a creation of god. It’s then that one will realize what a beautiful world they live in after all.

Vivek Sharma ,the director has done a really good job. From a script that is tightly held and moves quick to special effects that definitely reflect umpteen hours in the studio, the director’s hard work is clearly visible all throughout the movie.

Bhoothnath has everything for all age groups – fun for the kids and emotions for the adults. Aman has done a great job as the naughty kid and Big B is simply brilliant. From his emotions as a ghost trying to frighten the world to coming to terms that a child has him fooled to his final extremely emotional journey…everything leaves you spell bound.

Bhoothnath is definitely what we needed this summer to help keep this heat wave at bay. All through this movie you are so engrossed in what is happening that all other issues take a back seat.

For kids who are enjoying their summer break, for parents who need to keep their kids occupied, and most importantly for Bollywood that has had nothing much to offer this entire summer…..Bhoothnath is just what the doctor ordered!!!!

Kareena Kapoor turning Anxeroic…….

ZendaZelia — Fri, 09 May 2008 05:55:33 +0000

She looked hot in a Bikini in Tashan… and has been fainting all over the place, especially during long and hectic shooting ever since.

Even after she’s achieved the perfect body, Kareena Kapoor continues to be obsessed with losing weight, now keeping to a diet of cabbage, apple.A source confirms, “She has been eating things like cabbage and apple. They fill you up but give you zero calories. She has not been eating healthy food at all especially since she knew that she had to wear a bikini in Tashan.”

Its perfectly fine to want to loose weight and then maintain it after all the praise she got for her perfect figure…. but Bebo is making matters difficult for the producers and more so for her near and dear ones!

Her trainer Payal Gidwani adds, “She had to cut down on her favourite Chinese and Thai food, as it was not good for her workouts. At the same time, Kareena could eat plenty of curd and fruits, which is her own healthy concoction.” But she added that Kareena was eating regularly and was healthy.

Our sources ,however, has another story to say. “It’s been liquids for her. Also a lot of other food that are diuretics that won’t give her any body mass but keep her energy high. It’s no wonder then that she’s been constantly fainting when she’s had to film for long hours.”

On an average one medium sized apple has 72 calories and 0.2g fat and one cup chopped cabbage has 22 calories and 0.1 gm fat. So if we assume that she eats three apples and three cups of cabbage her total calorific intake is 282 calories and 0.9gm. Normally an individual with an active lifestyle like hers has recently been with constant filming across the world she would be advised to follow a diet of a minimum of 1800 calories per day.

Another friend of the popular actress reveals that the actress’ obsession with her figure is now beginning to worry her friends and family. “Her mum has been trying to explain to her to stop this diet now and eat properly. But she just won’t listen. She is obsessed about her diet. And it’s worrying her close ones. Even Saif who is fond of good food and different cuisines is having a hard time getting through to her,” says the friend.

And while Kareena has vehemently denied being anorexic, her extremely thin frame and her weight - 48 kgs - aren’t helping matters!
