RA ONE Movie Review

Ra ONE

 Director: Anubhav Sinha
Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor

 Pataka? Article? Tota? A player takes a few words about the half of a beautiful girl occasionally, until it was covered in the above: chammak Challo. Shah Rukh Khan eyes light blue superhero, Kareena Kapoor turns red sari, and start dancing the song of Akon Bharatnatyam dancers inspired Russian mini-skirts. Yes, it is this kind of movie, where everything happens at once. Amitabh Bachchan is a part of the voiceover Rajinikanth, Chitti, the robot exhibits G. A superhero Shah Rukh, how to turn your sunglasses, artist Subodh Gupta painting clothes, and even friends Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra to act by a juvenile joke, playing characters in games where the star can beat Bruce's sisters iSki called Lee Lee, Lee and Lee Uski Sabki. Even if you cringe at Shah Rukh Tamil Hindi accent and curd noodle room to act, hoping his curly wig falls on your plate, you realize that it is a big party and everyone is invited.

Welcome to the Open House a great movie. Shah Rukh is the host and he will ensure that the VFX © s canapés delivered at regular intervals; cup feelings considered complete, and there are enough sermons on the care-what-you-want-here you can take home as presents system the backup. This is the film industry, rather than a noble passion, but the great pleasure, not a magic show for the event marathon, but it's manageable. No effort is spared. Shah Rukh walks sideways in Mumbai local train, the engine stops with his bare hands, the cost of electricity, up to slap his ass heroine, and adheres to the chest. Among the vehicles to throw his nemesis, recently escaped from a video game, dance like Michael Jackson, and to quote V. Shantaram, superhero moves between the digital and the real world, London and Chennai, and the burial of a Christian prayer, a Hindu.

I think some lessons here to be a citizen of the world, and Shahrukh Khan fan of hyperactive child will certainly benefit from it, but it would have been nice to see more plowing with a Volkswagen bus a lot more red. But yes, I know, this is a superhero with a heart and lada goliyon IF Nah, DIL SE jeet jati hai. The special effects work, but not always applied uniformly throughout the film. The cool blue superhero suit metal does not always appear on the screen. And hey, Arjun Rampal, really needs to stop grit their teeth at the same time providing a dialogue intimidating. We are not afraid, because we can not understand. Shah Rukh throws himself on a huge and just the buildings, leaping into the air and landing on his feet, even Kareena Kapoor in her arms. Faced with a relentless energy, we surrender. It should be ', Shah Rukh, Forget it. In the words of your own super hero, you did well.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Bollywood's new royal princess

India's most famous couple - actress and model Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her actor husband Abhishek Bachchan - have had a baby girl. As the latest addition to one of a small number of acting and producing dynasties that dominate Bollywood, will she grow up to be an actress?

If the odds, or the genes, are to be believed, then the newly born daughter to the Bachchan-Rais is destined for the silver screen.

She might only be in the first week of her life, but being born into Bollywood royalty gives her a head start like no other.

Her mother is Aishwarya Rai, the face of L'Oreal, a former Miss World, who has starred in a number of Bollywood films.

Her father is Abhishek Bachchan, a Bollywood actor who is rarely far from the front pages of magazines.

Her grandmother is actress Jaya Bhaduri. And her grandfather is India's most famous man, Amitabh Bachchan, a Bollywood megastar whose career has spanned decades.

Blood is thick in Bollywood.

There are eight-to-10 prominent families who control at least 65% of the Indian film industry, says SMM Ausaja, a Bollywood historian and author.

The vast majority of the country's top acting talent is from a so-called "filmi" family, of either actors or producers.

Salman Khan, Kareena and Karishma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Bobby and Sunny Deol are just some of the star names belonging to powerful Bollywood families.

Rise of the Kapoors

This genetic dominance began in the 1940s, when the old Bollywood studio system broke down says Ausaja.

Like the collapse of Hollywood star system, it meant film studios were no longer contracted to hire certain actors or manage their careers and paved the way for independent producers.

"The family element really came in because the producer preferred his own son to come in rather than somebody else," says Ausaja.

The beginnings of the biggest and most feted Bollywood family date from around this time, when actor and producer Prithviraj Kapoor helped launch his sons Raj, Shashi and Shammi Kapoor.

Raj Kapoor, who went on to become the most successful of the trio, later set up his own studio to launch the careers of the next generation of his family members, including his son, Randhir.

The big budget film Rockstar, which opened this week in India, stars the youngest of the Kapoor acting clan, Ranbir Kapoor.

"Yes I come from a film family and I've been brought up in a very cushioned environment, but I'm a working professional.

"I take credit for my success and I deal with my failures and I think that just makes you more mature as a person," he says.

Kapoor, who is one of Bollywood's men of the moment, told the BBC thatbeing from a dynasty didn't protect him from the challenges of the industry: "It's a jungle and you have to make a name for yourself," he said.

Bollywood's first families

1) The Bachchans - Amitabh and wife Jaya Bhaduri (pictured), Abhishek (held by mother), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

2) The Kapoors - Prithviraj, Raj, Shammi, Rishi, Randhir, Neetu Singh, Rajiv, Karishma, Kareena, Ranbir

3) The Deols - Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sunny, Bobby, Esha, Abhay



Family business


Of course having a big name, makes it easier.

This is also true in Hollywood which is home to acting dynasties such as the Redgraves, the Sheens, the Douglases and the Fondas, but Indian culture is a big reason why a few families dominate. More..

"It means the world to us. This is a very overwhelming and exciting phase we enter into and hope to have your continued love and support," he added.

Meanwhile, the new father is seeking some parenting tips from his parents Amitabh and Jaya.

"How do women/mothers do it? I'm walking around like a zombie and the Mrs. is like a super trooper with a bit of bionic woman thrown in," the 35-year-old posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

"Just as I step into fatherhood and parenthood, I've never seen myself rely and depend on my parents more. Guess that happens with every new (sic)," he further posted.

The actor has nicknamed the little girl 'Beti B' and says he spends his whole day noticing the little actions of the child.

"And till we find a name for the little lady a dear friend Shahana Goswami gave me a great one. We have Sr B and Jr B already so... Beti B!...Much like my father SrBachchan I too spent the day observing every little thing about the little one," he posted.

While Abhishek is enjoying his fatherhood, megastar Amitabh Bachchan is in seventh heaven after becoming a grandfather the third time over and he is looking forward to start the process of bringing up the child.

"...Soon we shall be home and then shall start the process of bringing up. Of teaching and bearing and learning. Of etiquette and manners, of religious indoctrination, of schooling and further monitoring...," Amitabh wrote on his blog.

"A day spent with the new born, observing each movement, breath and presence .. recording it for posterity and for us in our old age," he posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Veena Malik performs her own stunts in her 3D horror flick

Her romance with Ashmit Patel in the last season of Big Boss kick started Pakistani actress Veena Malik’s career in Bollywood. At present, she has a 3D horror flick in her kitty for which she is currently shooting in a jungle in southern India.
Talking about the flick, Veena said: ‘It’s a 3D horror film with Telugu filmmaker Hemant Madhukar, and it’s really hard to shoot.’
‘For one, we are shooting in the wilderness. There are no luxury hotels, no daily comforts. Then it’s a 3D film, not like the other 3D films in Hindi where the 2D format is converted into 3D. We are shooting in 3D which means every shot takes hours sometimes. It’s really time consuming because I am playing both the ‘thriller’ and ‘horror’ element of the film,’ she added.
Veena detailed that she has done all the stunts in the film on her own. ‘(There’s) lots of wirework and flips and somersaults and bruises and cuts. I am roughing it out here in the jungles and enjoying every bit of it!’ she revealed.
For those who are still unaware, the actress will appear in the reality show ‘Swayamvar’ as the next star after Rakhi Sawant, Rahul Mahajan and Ratan Rajput.
