| Video] Salman Khan comes up with his new promotional video for Bigg Boss-4 Posted: 21 Sep 2010 12:04 PM PDT 
So, finally Salman Khan is all set to grove the audiences with his new promotional video for Bigg Boss season four. The previous season were hosted by different movie actors like Arshad Varsi, Shilpa Shettya and Big B Amitabh Bachchan. Big B hosted the last series and this time he has been replaced none other than Salman Khan. He is surely living all the attention. The video has been choreographed by Pony Verma and the audio has been done by the musical duo of Sajid-Wajid from the Dabangg fame. The costumes are done by Salman's sister Alvira Khan, she had been off late taking a great interest in Salman's costumes. She also did his shirts in his movie Mainey Pyar Kyu Kiya, starring with Katrina Kaif. Ashley Rebello too styled him in the video. According to Ashvini Yardi,Head -Programming, Colors, “Since the time we have announced Salman Khan as the host for Bigg Boss 4, we have witnessed unprecedented excitement and buzz amongst the viewers. Keeping in mind our promise of giving viewers ‘andar majaa aur baahar majedaar’, we have released a series of entertaining promos and will release a music video for the first time. Viewers want more and more of Salman and till the show goes on air, we will keep them entertained with the music video and lots of other surprises." The video and the moves have been strictly done while keeping in mind the cool and bindaas attitude of Salman Khan and the basic format of the program, where participants openly fight or either cry all the time. The show basically strives to capture the most vulnerable moments of one's life. Says Milan Luthria, Director of the video, ” Salman and Bigg Boss both represent unpredictable entertainment. I have tried and capture that in a tongue and cheek approach in this video which is supported by great lyrics by Rajat Arorra and a great melody by Sajid-Wajid. The collaboration between Salman and me couldn’t have come at a better time when both of us are enjoying the success of Once upon a time in Mumbai and Dabangg." He further added, “I have tried to harness his unique spontaneity and energy and marry it to the concept of a very interesting show. We had a blast shooting it”. The program is supposed the bitchiest of all the reality shows, where the participants have to nominate and eliminate each other from the Bigg Boss house and the survivor becomes the winner. This program is based on the format of the UK based show Big Brother. The promotional video has been given a Moroccan look and feel in which Salman Khan would be dancing with some exotic beauties to the peppiest steps. After the huge success of Dabangg, this program is certainly another milestone for Salman Khan. Time seems to be taking his side. We just hope that he rocks in the show and gives as good performance as in his movies. |
| Movie Review The Whistleblower: Weisz justifies another serious role Posted: 21 Sep 2010 10:47 AM PDT 
The inflammatory subject of human trafficking lends the crisp backdrop of the movie The Whistleblower. The movie is a factual political thriller, which stars the much famous actor Rachel Weisz as a Nebraska cop. The movie picks up its pace when she witnesses the atrocities on human beings while trafficking and then she ultimately joins the post-war Serbian U.N. peacekeeping team. Though, the movie takes up a really grave issue and the first time feature director Larysa Kondrack along with the Canada-Germany co-production somewhere down the line fails to give a justification to the subject. The movie could have been much better. She sets the movie in the year 1999, in which a father and the former husband of Lincoln police officer Bolkovac struggles to get the custody of his teenage daughter. He tries hard to get a transfer in his posting so that he could be close to his daughter all the time. One day she gets a golden chance to make $100,000 for a six-month short period as a U.N. peacekeeper in Bosnia to which she happily gives in. And from here the movie picks up its pace. Bolkovac extends her prior stay of six months and lands up in the U.N.’s Gender Office. This office deals with the sexual-assault investigations. It is supervised by Human Rights Commission and headed by Madeleine Rees, played by Vanessa Redgrave). And there she gets the motto of her life to crack the human trafficking scandal and much more deep seeded corruption amongst her fellow peacekeepers. Kondracki, the co-author of the movie too gives some hard hitting punches to the script. The casting too gives the movie a real touch. With Rachel Weisz, Vanessa Redgrave in the lead roles, the movie truly gives goose bumps to the audiences. |

Akshay is so passionate about every film he does that he himself keeps coming up with ideas to promote the film. Sometimes we have to remind him we have a marketing team to do this exact job. However, Akshay being Akshay, he came up with this gem of an idea.

| As if I m not there Movie Review: A realistic approach to the Balkan wars and the condition of women Posted: 21 Sep 2010 04:46 AM PDT  As if I m not there This talented director had already made her presence felt to the world through her Oscar nominated The Door which was based and shot in the beautiful locations of Ukraine and yet again this Ireland born talented lady makes another wonderful attempt into something she readily enjoys and is fearless about it. The topic Wilson chooses and the way it is handled is where she proves her excellence and brilliance in this art of filmmaking when compared to her contemporaries. One keeps wondering what will her films be about in another 20 years from now. The plot of the movie stages around the protagonist Samira whose character is played by a newcomer named Natasha Petrovic who is certainly luminous in her role. The movie begins when she moves to a countryside village far away from her middle class life in the town of Sarajevo. She moves along with her family members which includes her younger sister and her parents. When she reached the villages he joins the position of a primary school teacher who is hired temporarily but her students keep telling her that the permanent one is never going to return. Shortly after she arrives the soldiers enter the village and kill all the women and take away the women to a far away prison. It is here that Samira is singled out for sex by the males who gang rape her and the sequence is so horrifying that Samira at one point of point feels so detach from her body that she doesn't even feels what is actually happening to her body. The movie is really a very great attempt to portray the state of women during the Balkan wars. |
