The wait is finally over! An Aamir Khan film is nothing short of an event. The supremely talented actor acts in just one film a year and no two films are ever identical in terms of plotline. No wonder audiences await an Aamir starrer with bated breath.

Shah Rukh Khan – Aditya Chopra come together after 8 years with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Easily one of the most awaited movies of the year, RNBDJ has a couple of other characters apart from SRK in two different roles. Anushka Sharma, the model turned actress from Bangalore plays SRK’s love interest in the film. Vinay Pathak is the hero’s best friend. Kajol, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherji, Lara Dutta and Bipasha Basu appear in a song.

Bollywood’s once-heralded auteur jolted with his previous flops ‘Yaadein’, ‘Kisna’ and ‘Black & White’ is back with a yarn-spinning tale of emotions. Perhaps, ennoble Yuvvrraj – ‘The Returns of Ghai in Town’ and it’s a directorial of finesse savoring to family audiences. On the pars, producers (Subash Ghai himself and Eros International) shore onto grounds of non-speculation with such superstars on the crew-list.Yup! Subash Ghai treads smart as a whip on posing over-the-top performers and roping crème de la crème technicians. Well, Salman-Katrina the sensational couple, Anil Kapoor’s former combo hits with Subash, Modern-day Mozart A.R.

Turning words into pictures is fairly clichéd when it comes to Hollywood: Be it Francis De Coppola’s The God Father or Stephen King’s scintillating piece ‘Different Seasons’ adapted as The Shawshank Redemption. These are happening adaptations that have taken the position of 1 & 2 in the list of Hollywood’s ever best films. Divulging to be so, the readers well-accepted these versions on the screen, merely because of good execution. Nevertheless, ‘Hello’ adapted from one of the finest hot-selling novels ‘One Night @ the Call Centre’ penned by  Chetan Bhagat hits screens today. Indeed, Call centres happen to be the hot themes for novels and films…

Perhaps, DRONA had raised our expectations for its overhaul radical genre of fantasy. Well, not many auteurs in Bollywood did endeavor with such genres of fantasies and Goldie Behl deserves a pat and applause for his bold attempt. Those flicks that had hit the screen during previous months were off great surprises though they didn’t carry the presence of A-rated star casts as well big budgets. Well, Drona stapled with heavy price tag made us hankered to catch up with it for its extensive spell of VFX and other computer generated graphics. But, it’s completely dashing down our hopes when glimpsing through narrative aspects. Neither story nor the screenplay is really convincing and Goldie Behl seems to be more perplexed on setting his theme between the genres of Superheroes and Fantasies.
