Subhash K Jha Looks Back Honey Irani’s Armaan and Amitabh Bachchan Speaks
Image
Subhash K Jha takes a look back at Honey Irani’s 2003 Armaan which starred Preity Zinta, Anil Kapoor, Gracy Singh, Randhir Kapoor, and the Amitabh Bachchan. The feature not only revisits the terrific medical drama, but it also shares highlights from an interview he conducted with Amitabh Bachchan.

The aged but agile doctor swoops up the dying child in his arms and runs through the jungle to the hospital. In the process, he loses his own life. The most memorable moment in Honey Irani’s noble but finally unsuccessful large-screen soap opera reminds you of Dilip Kumar trying to stop vehicles on the road to take his dying wife to the hospital in Yash Chopra’s Mashaal.

Coincidentally, Mashaal too starred Anil Kapoor. As Dr Aakash Sinha, Kapoor puts in an earnest performance. His sequences with his father, played with sophisticated wisdom by the inimitable Amitabh Bachchan, are the muted highlights of the film.

Madhuri Dixit’s Most Celebrated Songs & Dances
Image
Celebrating Madhuri Dixit’s birthday, Subhash K Jha lists her most celebrated songs and her brilliant dances.

1. ‘Didi tera devar deewana’ (Hum…Aapke Hain Koun): Everything in this song-and-dance, from Madhuri’s purple saree to her dance movements (Jay Borade for a change instead of the ubiquitous Saroj Khan) became iconic. Madhuri once told me, “I think Didi tera devar was the single-most popular number of my career. A lot of the credit for it goes to Latabai. When she sang for an actress, the emotions flew organically. I just had to follow her voice”

2. ‘Ho Ramji tere lakhan ne bada dukh dina’ (Ram Lakhan): This was an important melodic overture in Ms Madhuri’s musical journey. It was Subhash Ghai and , more importantly, it was the indomitable Lataji in one of her last significant collaborations with Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Ghai wanted an atypical Mujra for Madhuri where the rhythm...

Bipasha Basu and John Abraham’s love story was definitely one for the history books. The duo started dating back in 2003 after falling in love on the set of their film Jism. They were together for almost 8 long years before separating in 2011. Not only did their breakup grab several eyeballs but there were also several speculations surrounding the same. However, Bipasha had hinted in some interviews after the incident that their breakup was not amicable.

Not only this but in a throwback media interaction, the actress also took an unmissable dig at John Abraham. According to Mid-Day, Bipasha Basu was asked to rank the hotness quotient of Bollywood stars while promoting her 2015 film, Alone. She was quick to give Anil Kapoor 7 out of 10.

When Mahira Khan Regretted Not Being In India

This was right after the release of Rahul Dholakia’s Raees, the film in which Mahira Khan co-starred with Shah Rukh Khan in 2017 .

I had spoken to Mahira on the phone about her inability to be in India for the release of Raees.

She said, “You know, I was telling a friend that no other actor here in Pakistan has got an opportunity like this. And it fell in my lap, due to whatever hard work that I may have done earlier. I didn’t have to look for it. I feel blessed. But at the same time, I feel like that marathon runner who, during the last lap just before the finishing line, is made to drop out of the race. There was this feeling when it happened, ‘Oh Man, not right now. Now, just before the release!’ I so want to sit with the audience and watch the film.

Talking with Subhash K Jha, Shehzad Khan focusses on his performance in Andaz Apna Apna, a film he says is very close to his heart.

You did any number of films before and after Andaz Apna Apna (Aaa). Yet you are identified with only your character, Bhalla, in Aaa. Did your mimicry of your father’s style in that film impede your career?

The answer to your question is that, no, it did not impede my life. It was just a character that I was playing, and I did a lot of other films as myself in my own voice, and it was great fun. But yes, this film became a kind of a, introductory film for me, a launch pad for me.

Tashan, Clocking 17 Years On April 25, Is Best Remembered For This Reason, Kareena Tells Us What It Was

Subhash K Jha looks back at 2008’s Tashan, and we hear from Kareena Kapoor Khan, in this fascinating feature!

It was during the shooting of this wacky and not unwatchable crime caper in Ladakh that Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan fell in love. But is that Tashan’s only claim to fame?

Tashan is so full of the milk of human zaniness that you feel it may at any moment topple over under the weight of its own cleverness. If the bizarre brew of the cunning and the cool holds together, it’s mainly because of Akshay Kumar, Saif, and Kareena Kapoor, who create a kaleidoscopic chemistry of crime and no punishment.

The threesome on the way to God-knows-where need to escape from the cops. They get into blonde wigs and tight ‘American’ costumes and turn into item dancers for a Hollywood project called Holy Widows.

Anil Kapoor is one of the biggest names in Bollywood history and has always been known for his commitment to roles. Throughout his illustrious career, he has played numerous characters but there was one particular decision that left both him and his audience in shock. The actor, who has sported a signature moustache for most of his career, made a bold choice to shave it off for Yash Chopra’s 1991 film Lamhe.

Starring alongside Sridevi, Kapoor took on a character that required a fresh look, a decision that did not sit well with audiences at the time. The film was a box-office disappointment upon its release, largely due to its unconventional storyline. However, Kapoor believes that his changed appearance also played a role in how the film was received. Decades later, Lamhe has found appreciation as a cult classic, but Kapoor still recalls...

Nithiin and Sreeleela’s heist action comedy Robinhood has not seen much growth at the box office. In three days, it stands at a total collection of 7.10 crore. The only hope for the film is that it has not dropped, if not jumped and is maintaining a range of 2 – 3 crore per day.

Nithiin’s Last Release

Interestingly, Nithiin’s last release at the box office, Extra Ordinary Man, which arrived in 2023 earned 9.7 crore in its lifetime and was a disaster. Nithiin’s latest arrival with Sreeleela has still not surpassed this number at the box office.

Robinhood Box Office Day 3

On the third day, Sunday, March 30, earned 2.75 crore at the box office. This was a very minor jump of almost 34% from the previous day. Hopefully, the Eid holiday helps the film garner some better numbers.

I remember meeting Yash Chopra some years after the release of Lamhe, and he was still mourning its commercial failure. “ Lamhe will always remain close to my heart. I made it out of a deep sense of conviction. The love story between the hero Anil Kapoor and the daughter of a woman whom the hero loved was tricky; I knew it. In fact, I had gone with the role to another superstar, whom I wouldn’t like to name, and he said no immediately, ‘Yash, have you gone mad? You want me to romance the daughter of the character I love?’ But I was adamant. I had to make this film.

When Shah Rukh Khan Introduced ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ At Golden Globes & Tom Cruise Presented Best Picture Award

Shah Rukh Khan holds a hefty reputation as Bollywood’s “king,” yet the actor has willingly distanced himself from heading west. The Devdas actor has graced Hollywood’s talk shows and media often, occasionally venturing to compare himself with Tom Cruise to effortlessly spotlight his own lavish life and career in India.

That’s not to say Khan has ever lacked tantalizing offers from Hollywood. In 2009, Danny Boyle, director of the Academy Award-winning Slumdog Millionaire, eyed him for the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host role. Khan politely declined the part, hinting at his reluctance to chart gray or negative parts at that stage in his journey, and was replaced with Anil Kapoor.

However, Srk did resurface at Boyle’s invite during the Slumdog Millionaire promotional push, even helming its intro at the 2009 Golden Globes, as...

Every actor secretly wishes to work with the Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.

Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are part of Yash Raj Films’ (Yrf) spy universe. Fans witnessed a crossover between Bhaijaan and Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan. There were rumors that Hr would also make a cameo as Kabir, but that unfortunately did not happen. Hopefully, War 2 will be the film where we get to see all three of them together on the big screens.

Subhash K Jha Revisits Subhash Ghai’s Black & White As It Turns 17
Image
Finally, the truth. Subhash Ghai’s most atypical film Black & White, released on March 7, 2008, was a blatant ripoff of Alan Pakula’s The Devil’s Own. Although Ghai denied the comparison, the similarities are too many to ignore. Subhash Ghai ventures into a territory that would characteristically be considered uninviting for an escapist entertainer.

It’s a well-crafted, finely written, and packaged piece of cinema done with more heartfelt Gandhian articulations than most recent films, which have merchandized poor Gandhiji in Munna-tones of bubble-gum philosophy.

You don’t often come away from a film disturbed yet hopeful about the distending dimensions of modern-day violence and terrorism. We did it in Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se, Gulzar’s Maachis, and Santosh Sivan’s Terrorist. Now we feel a genuine concern for the collapse of Gandhi’s secular dream in India, as Chandni Chowk (which is rapidly becoming a favourite haunting-ground for...

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Praises Ranbir Kapoor For Agreeing To Film This Crucial Scene In Animal: “He Just Said Okay Immediately”

Sandeep Reddy Vanga might not be among the most experienced directors in Bollywood, but he is surely one of the most explosive ones. Known for his unapologetic style since Arjun Reddy, Vanga’s latest venture was Animal, which doubled down on raw intensity and sheer audacity, raking in more than ₹900 Crore despite a storm of controversy.

While the movie had an ensemble of Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Tripti Dimri, Anil Kapoor, and Shakti Kapoor, at its heart was the protagonist, Ranbir Kapoor. Without a doubt, he played the chaotic Ranvijay Singh with a fearlessness that matched Vanga’s vision. Ditching on his previous image among the fans, Kapoor took on whatever role the director wanted him to, and this conviction even surprised Vanga at certain times.

This Day That Year: Subhash K Jha Celebrates 28 Years Of Sridevi’s Finest Performance
Image
In another fabulous installment of This Day That Year: Subhash K Jha celebrates 28 Years Of Sridevi’s Finest Performance in Judaii.

In Sridevi’s oeuvre, Judaii is not regarded as one of her great performances. It’s a below-average film lifted to likeability by the central performance. I regard Sridevi in Judaii to be superior to her lauded performances in Chandni, Sadma, Lamhe and Mr India.

The truth is she is earth-shatteringly good as a screechy, overbearing housewife who loses her husband to greed.

Speaking of Sri in slush, Judaii, directed by the late Raj Kanwar (nice guy) and produced by Sri’s darling husband Boney, is a textbook on politically incorrect filmmaking, with Sri playing a human banshee screaming and swearing at her working-class husband Anil Kapoor until he marries the moneyed Urmila Matondkar. Her last hurrah before she bowed out to play wife and mother. Judaii is a...

Anil Kapoor Pays Tribute to Gene Hackman: ‘A True Legend Whose Legacy Will Live On’
Image
In a heartfelt homage, Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor has paid tribute to Hollywood legend Gene Hackman, lauding him as ‘a true legend whose legacy will live on.’ Kapoor’s admiration for Hackman underscores the profound impact the two-time Academy Award-winning actor has had on artists worldwide.

A Cross-Continental Influence

Gene Hackman’s illustrious career, spanning over five decades, has been a beacon of inspiration for actors across the globe. Known for his versatility and compelling performances in classics like The French Connection, Unforgiven, and The Conversation, Hackman’s dedication to his craft has set a benchmark in cinematic excellence.

Anil Kapoor, whose own career in Indian cinema mirrors a similar dedication and versatility, expressed deep respect for Hackman’s body of work. Kapoor’s tribute highlights the universal language of cinema, where performances transcend borders and inspire artists irrespective of their origin.

Subhash K Jha Revisits Dharmesh Darshan’s Insufferably Messy Remake Of A Classic
Image
Dharmesh Darshan’s Bewafaa which clocks 20 years on February 25, had it all. Great-looking star-cast, huge budget, and an interesting traditionally-bound plot inspired by B.R. Chopra’s bold and progressive 1960s drama Gumrah.

Director Dharmesh Darshan throws it all away….in one sweep of a stunning heap. At first, you are saddened by the sterile drama that he has created out of such a resourceful, potentially dramatic scenario. Then you’re filled with rage at the extravagant and sad waste of precious resources.

During the year when films like Page 3, Black and even a much-vilified film like Sins tries to take our cinema beyond the expected, Bewafaa tried to pull it back into the stone age….or shall I say the ‘stoned’ aged, since the director makes most of his charismatic cast and crew sleep-walk through their jobs.

Bewafaa leaves you with the dread of the dead. The postcard-pretty pictures that...

Sridevi’s 5 Most Underrated Performances
Image
We all know about Mr India, Chalbaaz, Sadma, Chandni and Lamhe… Whenever Sridevi is mentioned, these iconic films are bound to be referenced. But Sridevi was capable of much more than meets the sigh. She is the only living or non-living actor I know who could shine in the tackiest of films. Kichad mein kamal. Slush mein Sridevi? You got it. She could fling a feast of expressions into the most mundane of movies. Here, we are looking at Sridevi in her less-celebrated film.

1.Kshana Kshanam in Telugu directed by that diehard Sribhakt Ram Gopal Varma. In this rugged road movie, Sri played a chick on the run with Venkatesh while a bunch of goons led by Paresh Rawal chased her down. I have not seen any actress do the damsel-in-distress act so convincingly. When the goons swoop down on her she gives those cute-fright looks of a child being pursued by goblins.

Sridevi Remembered On Her Death Anniversary – A Subhash K Jha Spotlight

In this special feature, Subhash K Jha remembers the exceptional actress Sridevi.

Seven years have passed since Sridevi’s left us suddenly. Not a day passes when we are not reminded of her ubiquitousness…That snatch of a song from Sadma, the cute quirky clipping from Judaai, that melodramatic confrontation scene with the late Smita Patil(they must be exchanging notes in heaven) in the long-forgotten Nazrana which Raveena’s dad Ravi Tandon directed….I know of no other actor in the world who could rise so much above the script. So high she touched the sky, and we gazed from down below, always awestruck by her arresting artistry.

How did she do it? The great Kamal Haasan once told me it was the art of mimicry. “She’s a fantastic observer. Whenever she is working with me, she keeps observing and absorbing, and then she uses the quirks and...

Celebrating 96 Years Of Lekh Tandon’s Underrated Art

In this fascinating feature, Subhash K Jha looks back at the incredible career of writer, director and actor, the brilliant Lekh Tandon.

Recently Anil Kapoor spoke about how the 1980 film Ek Baar Kaho changed the course of his career. The long post made mention of everyone, from the film’s luminous leading lady, Shabana Azmi, to the producers, Rajshri Productions. But Anil forgot to mention Lekh Tandon, who directed Ek Baar Kaho!

This was the story of Lekh Tandon’s life: his films got recognition. He didn’t. Lekh Tandon was one of our most prolific and underrated directors. His range stretched from the playful Professor to the magical Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaye to the illogical Jahan Pyar Mile. His most celebrated film was the historical Amrapali (1966), which recreated the legendary romance between Amrapali, the courtesan, played by Vyjayanthimala, and Ajayshatru, the emperor of Magadh, played by Sunil Dutt.
