Chakravyuh Below Expectation; SOTY Still Going Strong
Prakash Jha’s Chakravyuh failed to receive a warm welcome at the box office today. The film, which features Arjun Rampal, Abhay Deol and Manoj Bajpayee, had a poor opening and received a mere 30-per cent response, and even lesser in most centres. However last week’s release, Karan Johar’s Student Of ...

‘Am I not naturally talented,’ asks Katrina
Every director who’s worked with Katrina Kaif says she works really hard. Ironically, that’s what irks the actress! “Everyone says I am the most hardworking actress but no one says I am born talented or that acting comes naturally to me. So I wonder whether I am a good actress ...
Madhuri Dixit In Prakash Jha’s Next ?
• A few weeks ago, we told you that Prakash Jha would remake the Tamil movie Ko with Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. But that’s not happening and, in all probability, the film will have Akshay Kumar playing leading man. And guess what? Madhuri Dixit has been roped in too!

Katrina Kaif In Prakash Jha’s Next
There was talk that despite the mammoth success of Raajneeti, Katrina Kaif and Prakash Jha fell out with each other, which is why Jha didn’t sign the actress for his next Aarakshan.
However, Jha had always said that he and Kaif would definitelywork together in the future. Now news is ...
Shahid Kapoor In Prakash Jha’s Next?
Even though his last film Mausam didn’t work wonders at the ticket counter, Shahid Kapoor’s popularity among fans and filmmakers is intact. In fact, every noted filmmaker is toying with the idea of working with him.
The latest to join this bandwagon, we’re told, is Prakash Jha. Jha, who ...
UP Ban on Aarakshan lifted
The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Prakash Jha's Aarakshan, today, and the ban on this film in UP has been lifted. On this verdict, Prakash Jha says, "The Supreme Court decision should restore our faith in the system. I'm happy the hearing is in our favour. The people ...
Aarakshan Disappoints
Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan was a letdown and fared poorly in its first weekend, especially in some centres. The film is still banned in Uttar Pradesh, and was released only on Saturday in Punjab and Nizam. The only big release post-Singham, Aarakshan opened to an average response ...
Aarakshan Disappoints
Political issues, controversies, monsoon showers and a number of other reasons seem to have marred the prospects of this week’s big release Aarakshan in some territories. The film, directed by Prakash Jha, features Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead. The second release of the week, ...

Aarakshan
The ‘title’ of a project is your introduction to any movie, a hint of what you can expect. Prakash Jha’s titles have always been apt, and adequately conveyed what’s in store for the audience. But, not this time, though.
Aarakshan holds out the promise of drama and angst. But ...

Looking Forward to August
Last week’s Foresight in my column was: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) will open well, but there is a shadow of uncertainty, over the film’s opening numbers, cast by the coordinated bombings in Mumbai a few days ago. Singham has made substantial gains in one week on FTI but the ...
Singham: A 35-crore weekend?
The crystal-ball gazing has begun. After Ajay Devgn’s Singham opened to a great start, the betting is underway on the first weekend collections. The film has taken a flying start everywhere except in some parts of West Bengal, Rajasthan and the South region. Though it opened on a ...

“I make films not controversies!”
Prakash Jha is back! Come August 12 and the maverick director’s ambitious venture, Aarakshan, will hit the theatres. Once again, his film is straight from what we see in our society and this time touches upon the sensitive issue of reservations that had sparked off a debate in the 80s. ...

Kat Upset With Jha
If sources are to be believed, Prakash Jha’s recent tweet about how fast and good Deepika Padukone is with dubbing seems to have upset his Raajneeti actress, Katrina Kaif. And guess what, she (Katrina, not Deepika) even called up the director to tell him what she thought of it.

One More To Go
Agent Vinod has been in the making for years (more than two years to be precise). And although it’s a Saif Ali Khan home production, the actor also signed Prakash Jha’s next Aarakshan a few months ago... Aarakshan will obviously be released much before Agent Vinod.
Maybe Saif has ...
Yeh Saali Zindagi
With Sudhir Mishra as writer and director, you can’t expect a run-of-the-mill product. However, his latest offering only partially lives up to expectations. To quote a dialogue from the film itself – “Ishq aur bullet me koi farak nahin hota, dono nikalti hai chhati fadne ke liye”. Ironically, this sums ...
Turning 30!!!
With a Hollywoodish appeal to the storyline, English dialogue and the horror at turning ‘30’, this film is flimsy and fails to hold your attention for two whole hours.
First, the hype around ‘turning 30’ makes it feel almost like a crime (Note the three exclamation marks in the title) ...

Raajneeti
If anything goes in politics and elections, why not make a film on politics in which anything goes! While the film’s name is Raajneeti, the story is more about one-upmanship between two families. Scripted with a gun, the film takes a few characters with traits and attributes out of Mahabharat ...
