Sbagr Review

7 March 2013 12:40 AM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

Film: "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns"; Cast: Irrfan, Mahie Gill, Jimmy Sheirgill, Soha Ali Khan and Raj Babbar; Director: Tigmanshu Dhulia; Rating: **** - vivid, vibrant, savagely tragic with gutsy performances.

In what could be regarded as a sequence of subliminal comic relief, a little-known actor Rajeev Gupta gives this film, suffused in powerhouse performances, its best performance as a slimy politician caught watching porn on his laptop in his office by a goon masquerading as a journalist.

The sequence is hilarious and at the same time sobering. While the self-important buffoonish politician's predicament raises laughter,. »

Prateik goes underground; getting new image, voice coach

3 February 2013 3:24 AM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

Mumbai, Feb 3: Smita Patil and Raj Babbar's son Prateik is taking a long introspective sabbatical from the public eye until his next release "Isaaq", a North Indian take on Shakespeare's "Romeo And Juliet", which would be the actor's do-or-die bid to consolidate his precarious position as an eclipsed star son.

The decision, one hears, has been taken by the producers Viacom 18 who saw "Isaaq" and immediately decided to buy its worldwide distribution rights, apparently on condition that Prateik undertake an immediate crash course in career and image reinvention.

Another step in Prateik's career recuperation is his voice. A Hindi voice-coach. »
