Review: Ek Tha Tiger
23 August 2012 1:01 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey, Girish Karnad, Roshan Seth | Written by Kabir Khan, Neelesh Misra | Directed by Kabir Khan
Following his recent success in remaking South Indian action films, Salman Khan’s first original, but still action, film in a while is Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger, produced by Yashraj Films, with Katrina Kaif starring opposite him. Salman Khan stars as Tiger, one of India’s best Raw agents. On a mission to observe scientist Professor Kidwai in Dublin, he meets Zoya, a dance student, who he soon falls in love with, and he must learn to follow his heart, and not his head.
Kabir Khan, who previously made Kabul Express and New York, is progressively becoming more and more mainstream Bollywood. New York, a film about muslims in America after 9/11 was a step in that direction, but with Ett he’s basically there. »

Ek Tha Tiger Movie Review
15 August 2012 7:46 AM, PDT | Bollyspice | See recent Bollyspice news »
There are films and then there are Salman Khan films. The former kind needs a good script, good screenplay and decent acting chops to be liked. The latter kind just needs Salman Khan to be his own charming self. The problem with the Yash Raj Films produced Ek Tha Tiger is that director Kabir Khan tries to mix the two kinds of films and doesn’t quite manage to do a good job of it. A bigger problem is that Salman Khan’s charm is completely missing here.
Tiger (Salman Khan) is a Raw intelligence officer who believes in letting his punches do the talking. His latest assignment takes him to Dublin where he meets Zoya (Katrina Kaif), part-time caretaker of the scientist he has to keep an eye on. The two fall in love, but along comes a twist in the tale which turns Tiger’s life upside down. »

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto captivates in Michael Winterbottom's bold reading of Hardy's tragedy
"In this life," Sir Thomas Beecham is said to have advised us, "try everything once, except incest and morris dancing" – an admonition that Michael Winterbottom, Britain's most prolific and versatile director, has followed. Indeed after 9 Songs, his venture into unsimulated sex between consenting actors, he may well be contemplating an excursion into cinematic incest. Winterbottom's movies have ranged from the music scene in Manchester to incarceration in Guantánamo, and at regular intervals he has made versions of Thomas Hardy novels on three continents.
In 1996, quite early in his career, he adapted Jude the Obscure with some fidelity to its plot and its Victorian times with Christopher Eccleston as the doomed Wessex stonemason and Kate Winslet as his deranged second wife. In 2000 he transposed The Mayor of Casterbridge to the Californian gold rush of the 1860s as The Claim, »

Despite the technological might of Pixar, this Martian epic still feels closer to retro fare such as Flash Gordon or Dune. It's a cumbersome hero's journey fully of silly names, skimpy costumes and princesses in peril – stuff we've seen recycled so many times since Edgar Rice Burroughs first wrote this, it now feels laughably quaint. Still, it's always fun to see an expensively rendered alien world, even if cheesy myth-making comes with the territory.
Trishna (15)
(Michael Winterbottom, 2011, UK) Freida Pinto, Riz Ahmed, Roshan Seth. 113 mins
Hardy's Tess looks a comfortable fit with modern-day India in this naturalistic drama, which takes liberties with the text but finds new resonances, as Pinto's subdued villager struggles to find happiness with a wealthy young British-Indian.

Gff 2012: Trishna Review
17 February 2012 3:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
While in India managing a hotel, Jay (Riz Ahmed) meets Trishna (Freida Pinto), a soft-spoken, hard-working young woman living in one of the country’s poorest areas. In a bid to spend more time with her, and improve her situation, Jay invites Trishna to work at his hotel. As they spend more and more time together, their feelings develop and the opportunity to relocate to Mumbai becomes irresistible. However, when Jay’s father (Roshan Seth) suffers a heart attack and they’re forced back to where they started, they discover that their relationship isn’t exactly as it appears.
Adapted from Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Trishna sees the well known story relocated. The changes accentuate not only the novel’s main theme – class discrepancies, but also acts as a beautiful backdrop with the rolling landscapes of open wasteland bringing the two unlikely souls together and the bustling cityscapes driving them apart. »

Second Trailer for Trishna Starring Riz Ahmed & Freida Pinto
14 February 2012 3:48 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
We’ve not seen or heard much from Michael Winterbottom’s new movie, Trishna since I posted the first trailer back in August but now Artificial Eye have released the second trailer for the movie which stars Freida Pinto, Riz Ahmed, Kalki Koechlin, Anurag Kashyap, Neet Mohan, Roshan Seth. We’ll be seeing the movie at the Glasgow Film Festival this week so keep your eyes peeled for our review.
The movie has recently played at the Toronto Film Festival and it goes on general release 9th March.
Self-effacing British auteur Michael Winterbottom sets his unique spin on Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles against a contemporary Indian backdrop. Freida Pinto stars as the titular Trishna, a young woman who is seduced by the wealthy son of a property developer. As the romance develops, their relationship also becomes increasingly sordid and volatile.
