Pritam to compose for ‘Dhoom 3′

After giving memorable music in “Dhoom” and “Dhoom 2″, Pritam Chakraborty has again been roped in to compose for the third movie in the popular franchise by Yash Raj Films. The composer is quite thrilled about the association.”It’s always great working with YRF and even more so on something as iconic as ‘Dhoom’. It is a great feeling that the music has lived on with the franchise and the two are inseparable. ‘Dhoom machaenge’ once more,” Pritam said in a press statement.
Pritam, who is also popular for his soulful as well as peppy numbers in films like “Jab We Met”, “Life In A…Metro” and “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai”, was an obvious choice for “Dhoom 3″, says director Vijay Krishna Acharya a.k.a. Victor.
“Pritam is not just a chart-blazing music director but an integral part of the ‘Dhoom’ series. It’s going to be super working with him,” he said.

“Dhoom 3″ will feature Aamir Khan as the baddie. John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan respectively had essayed the role of a smart thief in the first and second movie of the franchise.
Actors Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will be seen once again in the movie as inspector Jai Dixit and Ali respectively.
Produced by Aditya Chopra, “Dhoom 3″ will be ready for a 2012 Christmas release.

Sanjay Gadhvi planning for ‘Dhoom 3'?


Sanjay Gadhvi seems to be planning for the third sequel for the movie ‘Dhoom 3.’ He has already spoken to the blue-eyed boy of Yash Raj, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and is waiting for a green signal from Aditya Chopra. 

“Neil who’s very close to Yash Raj Films has convinced Aditya Chopra to let Gadhvi do the third Dhoom movie. Neil himself is very keen on being part of the third installment. Adi assured him there would be room for the young actor who’s currently shooting for Yash Raj’s ‘Lafange Parinde,’” said a source.

“Who doesn’t want to be part of the ‘Dhoom’ franchise? I’d love to be in ‘Dhoom 3.’ If Adi directs it, nothing likes it. I’ve met Sanjay Gadhvi for a movie over a meal, and that’s all I can tell you right now. Gadhvi and I are on.  Whether it is for ‘Dhoom 3’ or something else I cannot say right now,” said Neil Nitin Mukesh. 

The movie is said to go on floors by the year end or by early 2011.

Movie Review : Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year (2009)


Movie Review: Rocket Singh -Salesman of The Year  (2009)

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Starring: Ranbir Kapoor, Gauhar Khan, Manish Choudhary and introducing Shazahn Padamsee

Director: Shimit Amin

Harpreet Singh Bedi (Ranbir Kapoor) passes out his graduation with embarrassing marks. The less ambitious Harpreet unlike his friends doesn’t go in for higher education but opts for a Salesman’s job. He joinsAYS, a computer selling firm which has a very demanding boss, Sunil Puri (Manish Choudhary) and an extremely rude and no-nonsense immediate boss, Nitin Rathore. With his competitive colleagues leaving no opportunity to poke fun of the earnest rookie, Harpreet lands in trouble with his seniors over his first client visit itself. Insulted and demoted, Harpreet then hits upon an idea to start his own parallel business naming his firm Rocket Sales. He gradually ropes in all the key staff members of his own office making them equal profit partners and soon becomes a big business threat to AYS. The rapidly sliding company’s sliding sales figures rattle Puri. What happens to Harpreet and hisRocket Sales team after Puri tries to find who his major competitor is, forms the rest of the film.

The Chak De India writer – director team of Jaideep Sahani and Shimit Amin have delivered yet another remarkable film. Taking situations straight out of real life with kind of characters you and me would have encountered in our daily life and added with some terrific performances, Rocket Singh is undoubtedly one of 2009’s best films. The Sardar character of Ranbir doesn’t appear like gimmick and in fact he hardly speaks a Sardar’s lingo. Just like Chak De, the perfect casting of the ensemble cast (mostly unknown actors) is yet another master stroke by writer-director duo. In fact each of the film’s principle characters have got their ‘one moment’. The film gets straight to the point as in the 10th minute itself as Ranbir begins his innings as a Salesman. Day to day office politics and bitching was never captured so perfectly in any Hindi film before.The film is laced with some really well penned dialogues (Customer ke naam mein hi likha hota hai ‘mar’, Risk to Spiderman bhi leta hai…tum to ek Salesman ho) which evoke guffaws as well as applause at places, the conversation between Ranbir and his boss in the climax being the high point. Salim-Suleiman’s music is apt for the setting and there are no lip-sync numbers.

With this film, Ranbir has cemented his position as a star actor who has the ability to carry a solo film on his shoulders. Manish Choudhary, often seen in TV ads, playing Ranbir’s smirky boss is a great find. The actor with the handle bar moustache playing Nitin Rathore is yet another amazing discovery. His body language and attitude has turned out just perfect. Gauhar Khan playing Ranbir’s fiery office telephone operator is very impressive. Shazahn who plays Ranbir’s client turned girl friend suits the part. D. Santosh and Mukesh Bhatt as Ranbir’s colleagues are excellent too.

Rocket Singh is one film, that Yash Raj Films will definitely be proud to have produced under their banner. Do not miss this film as it actually delivers more than it promises.

Rocket Singh has the ability to inspire millions of our country’s youngsters.

Shahid Kapoor’s film in trouble

Even as Shahid Kapoor is excited about his much-talked-about film Dil Bole Hadippa releasing next Friday, September 18, another film of his has run into trouble.The grapevine is abuzz with the news that Yash Raj Films next project starring Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma is in trouble due to disagreement between the producer and the director regarding the title of the film.
It is said that director Parmeet Sethi suggested Right Hand Man and Friends and Company for the title of the film but Aditya Chopra didn’t want them. Parmeet said that there is no fight though there might be differences in opinion. He added that he and Aditya have decided to think about the title only after the shooting of the film.
So, how do they refer to the film? YRF’s Production No 36!

Katrina-SRK together in a Yash Raj film this bothers Salman?

Katrina-Kaif

It seems that there is nothing else that Katrina could have done to annoy overprotective boyfriend Salman more! Hard to believe the truth but the fact is Kat has reportedly gone ahead to the extent of signing a film by Yash Raj banner with none other than Sallu’s opponent Shah Rukh Khan.


According to the latest news Yash Raj films has string of Kat and SRK for their film to be directed either by Aditya Chopra or Kabir Khan.

According to our source, “Katrina definitely has it going for her. SRK, on the other hand, has remained in the safe zone — as far as heroines are concerned — for a long time. Be it Rani Mukerji or Preity Zinta, he has stuck to his regulars and has worked with them repeatedly. He needs to be a tad more adventurous about his co-stars, and that’s where Katrina comes into the picture.”

Most probably Early next year film is going to hit the screen. What was Katrina thinking when she got herself tied up with the deadly Yash Raj-Shah Rukh combo? Guess that’s really going to bother Salman!

After the Hyderabad schedule, the unit shifts to the US. Says an insider, "Parmeet plans to finish the film without any break. It also works for Anushka, who plans to get straight into her third and final film with the banner, as soon as this one wraps."

Anushka was approached by a few directors but she couldn't sign any films as she was bound by the contract.

Yash Raj Films denies signing Salman Khan

Bollywood's prestigious banner Yash Raj Films has denied reports that it has signed Salman Khan for a movie, saying they are "completely baseless".

It was reported that writer-turned-director Vijay Krishna Acharya, whose directorial debut Tashan was produced by the banner, is directing his second film for Yash Raj Films and that Salman would star in it.

"We would like to clarify that this is a completely baseless and incorrect story. Vijay is still in the process of writing his next script for Yash Raj Films. No casting has therefore been done nor has anyone been considered for the same," stated the banner.

"As and when we do finalise the script and the casting is complete, a suitable announcement will be made," it added.

Salman, who has worked with almost all the filmmakers in the industry, is yet to be seen in a Yash Raj Films production.

The scene you didn’t see in Rab Ne…

Anushka Sharma who made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was unveiled in a media event on Thursday evening.
But the young lady says that the first day she met SRK, she almost looked through him on the sets having failed to recognize him

 Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Shahrukh khan

“I was sitting in a room on the first day before the filming began when one man entered the room and said ‘Hi. I am Shah Rukh Khan’. I didn’t even recognize him till he told his name because he was dressed in his Surinder Suri look. And I was so thrilled after that to have seen Shah Rukh that all day long on the first day of the shoot I was touching him to confirm whether he was the real Shah Rukh or not," laughs the actress.

She also let us in on a secret from the film. She says that director Aditya Chopra who always believes in keeping his films clean and for family audiences, decided to chop off one scene from the rolling credits.

“There was one scene in the end where we have shown our honeymoon in Japan where I told Shah Rukh ‘A1ji’ after spending the night together. It was similar to what Surinder tells Taani on eating her biryani. But Aditya Chopra deleted the scene to entertain his family audience so that whole family can enjoy the movie without feeling awkward,” says Anushka.

'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' The highest opening week grosser till date

Shahrukh Khan-starrer `Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' that released worldwide on December 12, has grossed Rs 90 crore in its opening week, which is on par with and in some places even higher than two of the highest opening week grossers till date, `Om Shanti Om' and `Singh Is King'.

Its producers Yash Raj Films (YRF) said `Rab Ne...' has also broken all earlier opening week collection records for Yash Raj Films, having surpassed the opening week collections of `Dhoom: 2', which is regarded as one of the highest grossing movies of all-time.

The total collections for `Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' in India are around Rs 42 crore net (gross collections were Rs 70 crore). The total gross collections for all overseas markets are over USD 4 Million (around Rs 20 crore), a YRF statement said here on Thursday.


In Middle East, `Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' has broken all previous records for first week collections, netting just under USD 1.3 million. The previous highest grossing film in the Gulf region, having a sizeable Indian population, was `Dhoom: 2', which grossed approximately USD 1.86 million across its entire run.

The Aditya Chopra-directed romantic flick, featuring newcomer Anushka Sharma, is on course to break this all-time record going into its second week, the statement said.

The film has also had a grand opening week across all overseas markets, including the UK, USA, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and features in the list of the highest grossers for the opening week in most of these territories.

"The film has the potential to finish as one of the biggest blockbusters of all-time," it said.

Is YRF unlucky for Saif?

YRF has scored its first hit this year in the form of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring SRK. But things haven’t been that rosy for the other Khan and Yash Raj Films. Three films starring Saif Ali Khan have flopped. So is YRF unlucky for Saif who has otherwise had a great 2008?

Our source tells us, "Saif got his big break with Dil Chahta Hai and YRF's Hum Tum directed by Kunal Kohli starring Saif and Rani was Saif's first solo hero hit in 2004. But after that, none of his films with YRF have repeated the success of Hum Tum."


He further adds, "After Hum Tum, he did Salaam Namaste with Preity Zinta which was an average success. Then Ta Ra Rum Pum was supposed to repeat the success of Hum Tum because people had loved Saif and Rani in that film. It was the first film of Yash Raj in 2007 and it did not live up to the expectations of people."

"This year the first release of Yash Raj was Tashan in April with Saif and Kareena. The movie got a lot of publicity over Kareena's size zero figure and their romance but Saif got a raw deal in the film as his role had been chopped off. The movie was the first big budget flop of 2008. Then Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic released in June. Everyone expected the movie to do well because it was a children's film and had Saif and Rani. Moreover, Kunal Kohli had given two hits back to back with Hum Tum and Fanaa. But in spite of all the hype, Ameesha's lack of clothes and good reviews, the film flopped.”

“Roadside Romeo released in the Diwali vacations and was expected to draw in the crowds because of its animation and Saif-Kareena pairing but it didn't happen and Jugal Hansraj's directorial debut sank at the BO. Clearly, Saif's jodi with neither Kareena nor Rani is creating wonders at the BO. In fact, even YRF films which have Rani in the lead are flopping though she has got good reviews for her performances in the films. Barring the success of Hum Tum and Bunty aur Babli, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic have flopped,” adds the source.

But outside of YRF, Saif has had a good year. Last year Omkara released and this year Race. Both have been huge hits for the actor. “Saif's only hit this year was Abbas Mastan's Race which was a multistarrer and more importantly not a YRF release,” says the source.

He further adds, "In fact, Saif is not doing another film with Yash Raj Films in the near future. He is busy with the films he is producing and with Dharma Productions' film! There is nothing with YRF on the cards in the near future!"

Kangana insulted at Yash Raj studios gates

We in the media all know how Yash Raj bosses are a stickler for privacy and how well guarded their huge studio premises is. Well just that we didn't know that even some Bollywood stars are no exception as Yash Raj's strict rules are being enforced on them too.

Our source narrates, "On Friday morning just before the trial show of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi began at the Yash Raj Studios' preview theatre, a white Skoda drove up to the gates of the studios and began honking at the gates so that the watchman would open the gates for them.

But instead, the watchman refused to open the gates and walked up to the driver.

Though the watchman had clearly seen it was Kangana Ranaut sitting next to the driver's seat, he knocked on the window and asked the driver whom he wanted to meet at YRF and whom should he say has come while confirming.

But then even that wasn't enough. He then left Kangana and her driver waiting at the gate for some more time till he went back to confirm the actress' appointment over the intercom."

What left Kangana visibly upset was the watchman asking on the intercom to someone at the other end that whether the actress should be let in or not and also whether her car had permission to be parked in the YRF studios basement parking!

Finally after a good 15-20 minutes wait at the gates, actress Kangana Ranaut was finally allowed into the YRF studio" the source concludes.

We are now the wondering whether Kangana shall soon be the next starlet to join the Yash Raj bandwagon following her Fashion, co-star, Priyanka Chopra.
