THE REAL INSPIRATION BEHIND INDIANA JONES#HarrisonFord#StevenSpielberg#CharltonHeston#Incas



Indiana Jones is easily one of the most iconic Cinematic characters of all time.
It was further immortalized by Harrison Ford's brilliant potrayal of the intrepid archaeologist adventurer.
A lot of people know that Steven Spielberg and the makers of Raiders of the lost Ark drew their  inspiration from the serials of the late 30's and early 40's.
These serials were the equivalent of today's TV Shows.Before the advent of Television,these serials were shown in cinemas.Each serial used to have between 5 to 15 chapters most of the time but some were longer than that.Chapters were like TV episodes and the serials varied between Action,Adventure,Mystery,SciFi in their genre.
But very few know that probably the real inspiration behind Indiana Jones was the 1954 movie THE SECRET OF  THE INCAS,starring Charlton Heston in the lead role.It was produced by Paramount Studio,the same studio that would go on to make the Indiana Jones movies.
Incas featured Heston as an adventurer who is looking for a sacred Incan relic.The movie was shot on location in Peru.A few scenes in the movie were later replicated by Spielberg in the first 2 Indiana Jones movies.

Panipat 2019 - Ahmad Shah Abdali:Durrani Empire. Facts About The Movie Panipat. #Controversy

A historical period drama that recounts the events that led up to and unfolded during the Third Battle of Panipat between the Maratha Empire and the Durrani Empire in 1761.

Panipat Director:Ashutosh Gowariker

Ashutosh Gowariker is an Indian film director, actor, screenwriter and producer. He is known for directing films "set on a huge canvas while boasting of an opulent treatment". His works include Lagaan, Swades, Jodhaa Akbar, What's Your Raashee?, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and Mohenjo Daro. 

BOX OFFICE MASSIVE HIT EXPECTED.
BOX OFFICE DAY 1 COLLECTION:
BOX OFFICE DAY 2 COLLECTION:

Sanjay Dutt will be seen as Ahmad Shah Abdali on the big screen - the main antagonist.

Arjun is playing the role of the Maratha warrior, Sadashiv Rao Bhau in Panipat.

The trailer of Panipat, starring Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon, is out and it has a major Sanjay Leela Bhansali hangover. The trailer opens by establishing the great Maratha empire and Kapoor’s Sadashivrao Bhau is handed over the Peshwa sword, making him the leader.
His arch-enemy here is Sanjay Dutt’s Ahmad Shah Abdali who is known to be a ruthless killer. The trailer also introduces Kriti Sanon as the Maratha’s dutiful wife who can swing a sword if need be.

Zeenat Aman will make a comeback with Panipat

Zeenat Aman has evidently stayed away from the limelight for a while now. The actor hasn't worked in notable films in the last decade and has focused mainly on small budgeted films. Zeenat Aman will essay the role of Sakina Begum in Panipat. Ashutosh Gowariker has stated that her role will be an extended cameo in the film. 

The musical duo of Ajay-Atul have proved their superior music talent majorly in the Marathi film industry. The duo has delivered some sensational Marathi tracks like Zingaat and Lallati Bhandar. In the Hindi film industry, the two have only worked on a handful of films. Ashutosh Gowariker reportedly thought that tjhe duo will be the best fit for the film as it is based on the life of a Maratha warrior. 

Panipat was a bloody military debacle for Marathas. Will patriotism-high India see the film?

Panipat, releasing 6 December, the day Babri Masjid was demolished in Ayodhya, is about battle that Amit Shah said ‘paved way for foreigners to enter India’.

Will feature the Third Battle of Panipat

As per reports, the film will feature the Third Battle of Panipat in its climax. The battle featured over 1200 warriors originally and Ashutosh has reportedly attempted to replicate the battle. The climax will feature a magnanimous battle sequence which apparently took an entire shooting schedule of two weeks to shoot. The battle will reportedly feature a mix of practical and VFX effects in the final cut of the film.

The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761 at Panipat, about 97 km (60 miles) north of Delhi, between Maratha Empire and invading Afgan army of Ahmad Shah Abdali, supported by two Indian allies—the Rohillas Najib-ud-daulah, Afghans of the Doab region and Shuja-ud-Daula-the Nawab of Awadh.

Though Abdali won the battle, he also had heavy casualties on his side and sought peace with the Marathas. Abdali sent a letter to Nanasaheb Peshwa (who was moving towards Delhi, albeit at a very slow pace to join Bhau against Abdali) appealing to the Peshwa that he was not the one who attacked Bhau and was just defending himself.

The movie, whose trailer is already out, features Afghan actor from Paktika province Babrak Akbarim who plays the role of a loyal guard of Sanjay Dutt (Abdali Baba).

Not much is known about the character of Kriti Sanon-Parvati Bai. The actor, in an interview, informed that Ashutosh has layered the character of Parvati Bai very well. She further added that her role in the film was very challenging as being a North Indian, it was difficult for her to play the character of a Maharashtrian lady. She also credited Ashutosh for Panipat and thanked the director for giving her opportunity in the movie.

Abdali wrote in his letter to Peshwa on 10 February 1761:
“There is no reason to have animosity amongst us. Your son Vishwasrao and your brother Sadashivrao died in battle, was unfortunate. Bhau started the battle, so I had to fight back unwillingly. Yet I feel sorry for his death. Please continue your guardianship of Delhi as before, to that I have no opposition. Only let Punjab until Sutlaj remain with us. Reinstate Shah Alam on Delhi's throne as you did before and let there be peace and friendship between us, this is my ardent desire. Grant me that desire.

The valour displayed by the Marathas was praised by Ahmad Shah Abdali.

“The Marathas fought with the greatest valour which was beyond the capacity of other races. These dauntless blood-shedders didn't fall short in fighting and doing glorious deeds. But ultimately we won with our superior tactics and with the grace of the Divine Lord.

Sanjay Dutt 's tweet "Ahmad Shah Abdali - Death strikes where his shadow falls. #PanipatLook." 

As per reports, a grand set was built to shoot major portions of the film at ND Studios. The art director of the film, Nitin Desai replicated the grandeur of the Shaniwar Wada, which is situated in Pune. Ashutosh Gowariker and Nitin Desai have previously recreated the Agra Fort in the 2008 release Jodhaa Akbar. Gowariker has stated that he was excited to recreate the magnificent structure.

Abdali never recovered from the pyrrhic victory and his losses left him weakened and unable to control his dominions leading to the rise of the Sikh Empire.

Indian journalist Awik Sign tweeted: 

“People of Afghanistan have huge respect to Abdali, but people in India hate him. I don’t think history has been displayed properly. India and Afghanistan have strong relations but these kinds of movies only earn money, serving no other purpose.”

Ex-Afghan ambassador to India tells Sanjay Dutt: Hope Panipat kept Indo-Afghan ties in mind

Panipat movie on Ahmad Shah Abdali Baba’s third battle of Panipat has sparked concerns among Afghans, who view the film as an insult to the former king.

 "Negative role of Ahmad Shah Abdali will not be acceptable to all Afghan."

Mohnish Bahl's first historical movie

Mohnish Bahl has been away from mainstream Hindi films. The actor had a cameo in the Salman Khan film Jai Ho. He made a comeback in the TV industry with Sanjivani this year and is all set to feature in Panipat. Mohnish Bahl will be seen essaying the role of Nana Saheb aka Balaji Baji Rao. It will be the first historic film for Mohnish Bahl.

Machine Gun Preacher



Even thinking about writing about this film is giving me chills and I couldn't have found a better movie to be back with my reviews.If you got a heart,a soul and a little humanity left within yourself,this movie will surely move you and leave you clueless with the most powerful performance given by Gerard Butler.

It is based on the life of Sam Childers (Gerard Butler), who without giving much away, have a tough time in prison and led a notorious life as a member of a biker gang, finds God and embarks on undertaking missionary work in civil war-torn Sudan, leaving his loyal, loving wife Lynn Childers (Michelle Monaghan) who helps him find the same faith she found which led to leaving her stripping career and his young loving daughter Paige (Madeline Carrol) back home in Pennsylvania. This movie follows Sam's juggling how his Christian faith inspires him at home and also in Sudan.

This powerful drama will touch all your desires of taking the world on by yourself and satisfy your need of knowing how one person can hold on to his faith and with all the conflicts that he fighting within himself and yet have such a profound effect on a community.Would the audience have the courage to do what Sam did? That is a question facing the audience as they leave the movie, along with the images which will haunt the audience to the blunt reality and the truth of genocide.

A must watch ..
My rating 8/10

Without Men



The big buzz about Without Men, Argentine director Gabriela Tagliavini's film adaptation of James Canon's Tales From the Town of Widows opening in Los Angeles at the Maya Indie Film Series, seems to be about star Eva Longoria's lesbian love scene with Kate del Castillo. And if that's the kind of thing that floats your boat, you might well want to see the film; if not, there is little else to recommend it. There is a lot of sex in the film, but most of it is on the level of the dirty joke. It is neither stimulating, nor exciting. Certainly it is meant to be funny, but more often than not it is merely embarrassing.

Without Men is a comic fairy tale set in a small town "mucho mucho far away," where all the men, except the local priest, have either been killed by revolutionaries or impressed into their service. Left alone the women are forced to take over, and after a hiccup or two, it turns out they can handle the job as well if not better than their bumbling men folk. They may need the men to keep the race going, but that's about it. Longoria plays a bossy strong willed woman who becomes the mayor of the town after the men are gone, and while she does eventually get the women to work together as a cohesive community, and demonstrate that women can get along just fine without male supervision, it almost seems to happen in spite of her, rather than as a result of anything she does. If this is meant as a feminist statement, and I would suppose it is, it is feminism 'lite.' Still, it is a comedy, so what else could you expect.

Bright vivid colors in the town contrasted with the darker tones of the outer world emphasize the fairy tale quality of the film. It very much echoes the transition from black and white to color in The Wizard of Oz. Indeed the colors pop just as brightly. Oneita Parker's costumes, except for the few scenes immediately after the men are taken when all the women but one wear widow's black, burst with color as well. A bright musical score including some catchy songs adds an additional magical element to the film's mise en scene.

Rating 8/10 *A must watch

Adele - Rolling In The Deep



The sort of mood I am in,reminded me of this song.Where is that compassion?,The fire we go on about?,The bs of everyone who think they at the top of the world only to find they are on the cliff and wishful thinking that no one will push them?.If you screw everyone in your path,do you really believe they will have your back.

Here it is for all you of,who still have the fire to take themselves to height that everyone will envy.. So carry on and dont stop for nothing ..

Take me home 2Night


Do you remember the 80s? Of course you do. Everyone remembers the 80s even if you didn’t live through them. It was pop-art made flesh and then made neon. There were bright colors, exuberant clothes, and if your song didn’t feature at least one synthesizer, then it wasn’t worth listening to it. We’ve been to the 80s and it’s tough to find a reason to go back. Take Me Home Tonight certainly can’t find one and it drowns its affable leads and their charming performances in a sea of nostalgia and iconography.

Matt (Topher Grace) is a recent MIT grad who is wasting away his mathematical genius at the local Suncoast Video Store. While he’s pondering his meaningless existence, his high-school crush Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer) walks in to the store, and Matt hides the fact that he works there. He lies to Tori by telling her he works at Goldman Sachs, and she invites him to a party that night. Matt sees this as his big chance and brings along his twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris) and best friend Barry (Dan Fogler) as back-up. But both Wendy and Barry have their own drama. Wendy wants to study creative writing at Cambridge but is afraid her dim bulb boyfriend Kyle (Chris Pratt) won’t be supportive, and Barry, after being laid off from his long-time job at a car dealership, wants the college experience he never had. Matt, Wendy, and Barry head to the party looking to have a good time and end up having life-changing revelations through their night of revelry. But all of this charm is no match for the unanswerable question: Why is this movie set in the 1980s? When I interviewed Topher Grace a couple weeks ago, he said that their intent was to make a movie that wasn’t a parody and recalled the way movies like Dazed and Confused and American Graffiti simply exist in a time period rather than constantly call attention to it. It doesn’t look like director Michael Dowse got that message. Every song in the movie is an 80s hit and most of the costumes scream “Can you believe people wore that?!”. The movie revels in its aesthetic, but never justifies its existence. More than anything, the 80s setting simply provides a distraction.
With the 80s candy coating not making the movie any sweeter, the film’s other flaws begin to show. The pacing is slow and when the flick slams into the third act and has to develop the more dramatic material for Matt and Wendy, it doesn’t realize that Barry’s storyline is crucial to keeping the energy of the film alive. Furthermore, the story spreads itself so thin that Wendy’s storyline feels simplistic and underserved when compared to Matt’s coming-of-age conflict and Barry’s cocaine-fueled shenanigans.

The cast of Take Me Home Tonight do their best to keep the movie afloat in the raging seas of 80s nostalgia. The actors play well off each other, understand their characters, and have solid comic timing. But rather than let these characters breathe and emote in a movie that happens to take place in the 80s, the characters of Take Me Home Tonight are always overshadowed by the fact that they’re in an 80s movie.

my personal favourite movie,loved each and every second of it.
Rating 9/10

Contagion

CONTAGION
DON'T TALK TO ANYONE. DON'T TOUCH ANYONE.
-NO ONE IS IMMUNE TO FEAR!

Now, I have written a preview for this movie and as promised, here is the proper review for it. Being honest, I was literally restless to see this movie since the very day it released, i.e 9th September 2011. Just saw it last night (24th September, many thanks to my dear friends who got the only print for me) :D

Contagion is a 2011 American thriller movie directed by the great, Steven Soderbergh. He is the very intelligent, very famous director of some really great movies such as Out Of Sight, Traffic, Erin Brockovich, The Ocean Series (Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen), The Good German and many more. After watching this movie, I must agree he is absolutely brilliant, simply amazing. A director that actually makes movies with sense, pure raw facts and makes it just...real!

The movie has an amazing, stellar, A-list cast, Oscar winners and nominated that were just amazing in the movie. Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Laurence Fishburne, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law and Jennifer Ehle.

Contagion is a movie about the outbreak of a new, deadly disease that kills within days and is caught by the most common of things and kills within days, basically depending on the person's immune system and the incubation period. Also highlighting how it affects the world and the society falling apart.

The greatest thing about this movie is that its so so close to reality. We see these things happen around us all the time with no realization of such at all. Like how diseases are spread!? A normal hand shake, hug, simply talking, using someone's phone, or the home land line. For instance, I am using the computer right now and when I get up, my sister will use, using the same keyboard and mouse! We go to a cafe, order a drink, say if one has a cough and uses that glass, one has finished the drink and the glass is washed but it still may have that particular germs and someone will use that glass in the cafe. Best example is in the picture below that how Beth Emhoff is 'wishing luck' in the man's dice. That is transmission.

Contagion starts with Elizabeth Emhoff coming back to her home in Minneapolis from a business trip in Hong Kong, she is feeling sick but feels its just jet-lag. Two days later, her son is also sick and Beth collapses and begins to have seizures. Her husband, Mitch rushes her to the hospital where her seizures continue and she dies suddenly. No reason is stated yet. (*Not a spoiler, her death is shown in the trailer of the movie.)


When Mitch is told about her death, he just doesn't get it, he doesn't understand what happened to her and with absolute no cause of death. He goes back home where he gets another shock that what has happened and he is emotionally destroyed. Along with Beth, many other people around the world are shown dying in the exact same manner as Beth.

Now with many deaths around the globe and no cause known, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC becomes active in determining the cause. They first get hold of the virus from Beth's deceased body and begin to study it but with it, they get no where! no conclusions and not much known about the bodies in it.

The head of the CDC, Dr. Ellis Cheever is the head for the case and every nation, every country's head and official contacts him to find out what exactly is happening, with no answers he sends Dr. Erin Mears to Minneapolis to track down the main cause for Beth's death and her colleagues and everyone in contact.

Later in the movie is shown a very stressed Cheever who also pushes boundaries to get the vaccine for the disease and also get his wife saved from everything.


Dr. Erin Mears, and Epidemic Intelligence Service officer is called in by the CDC and sent to Minneapolis immediately to track down on field the main cause and also prevent in every way to spend, that also includes talking with the government officials, who are worried of what to tell the local people as still they don't know what they are fighting and no facts to present.

As she reaches her destination, there is no rest. She gets to work right ahead and after meeting the government officials, she sets off to Beth's office where she talks to her colleagues, her husband to know if she had complains of sickness or if she met on trip someone who was sick or anything, anything at all! She starts the prevention activities within 24 hours but still has many problems to face and a great great endangering obstacle. She is really really nice and wants to help in every darn possible way she can to stop the disease from spreading and get the origin of it.

The world Health Organization sends Dr. Leonore Orantes to London to find the cases of death there and from there is sent to Hong Kong where the sickness originated and how it started to spread, while she is there she finds out Beth is was the first one who had the disease. When she was to go back to Geneva to W.H.O, she is kidnapped by epidemiologist to use her as leverage to get the first vaccines for his village.

I won't tell how each of the plots end, you have to watch it for yourself and trust me, its totally worth it!!

Contagion premiered at the 68th Venice Film Festival and released publicly on 9th September 2011. On the very first week, the movie grossed $25 Million, debuting on #1, ending The Help's three week stay at number 1, by the next week, it grossed $55.5 Million worldwide. With a budget of $60 Million, its a great gross number data and is a SUPER HIT at the box-office.

The movie met wet great critical acclaim where everyone praised the director's effort and the story that was so close to reality, also applauded is the great A-list cast for each of their roles. Rotten Tomatoes, a critics movie site gave the movie an approval of a staggering 84% (Rotten Tomatoes are very harsh and usually give less marks to movies), also gave positive reviews.

The greatest thing about the movies is that it is scientifically accurate. Scientists also gave the movie a positive review complimenting the director's efforts that he made proper research and made a movie on a subject that is most likely to happen, GOD FORBID.


To me, Contagion was a great horror movie, because it really does scare you deep down you actually feel the chills. I mean, I am really scared to use anyone's glass or anything. My review for the film is 'TWO BIG THUMBS UP'. Its a very well made movie, one of the best of 2011. The director has pointed an idea, giving us a hint to be careful, hygienic. Literally. I think everyone should watch this movie and learn something from it. It speaks of deadly diseases, how society falls apart under the most dire of circumstances. The acting was outstanding. Matt, Laurence, Kate, Gwyneth, Marion were just amazing!
The movie got excellent reviews by professionals, even I have praised it, so just watch it.

-A Must Watch! Highly Recommended!

Moulin Rouge!

MOULIN ROUGE!
No Laws. No Limits. One Rule. Never Fall In Love


Moulin Rouge! is a romantic jukebox, musical film directed and produced by Baz Luhrmann. Released in 2001, a major major success worldwide, a noticed musical picture. Starring the ever
beautiful and the very lovely (particularly in this movie) Nicole Kidman in her Oscar nominated role of Satine, also starring is Ewan McGregor as Christian. Rest of the cast includes Jim Broadbent, Richard Roxburgh and Kylie Minogue in a special role as the Green Fairy.

Initially, the role of Satine was given to Kate Winslet and the deal was made, but she had to opt out due to shooting conflicts for her movie Iris, also released in 2001. If Kate had done the role of Satine, first of all she would have looked ammmmmazing in the get-up, the red hair, outlandishly wonderful and grand dresses and of course, the red lipstick! But Nicole looked awesome as heck as well, loved her in the movie, she stole it. Anyways, if Kate had done the role, she would have sung all her songs herself -for she being a singer as well (won Grammy award for her single 'What if' as best spoken for children's album)
. Nevertheless its Nicole's moment and her movie so it goes to Nicole that she looked absolutely ravishing and just simply beautiful.

The movie tells the story of a young and youthful English writer who moves to Montmarte district of Paris in 1899 to become a writer in the Bohemian culture, there he meets performers who perform in the famous Moulin Rouge there and they were to finish the story for a new play called 'Spectacular Spectacular' , where Christian helps them too. The performers arrange a meeting for him to meet the star of the Moulin Rouge, Satine, the star courtesan.

Christian very much enjoys the meeting but Satine has big plans for herself. She wants to be a big, famous performer and a star and so does Harold Zilder, owner of the Moulin
Rouge. Unaware of it, Zilder is promising Satine to Duke of Monroth who is very very wealthy and firmly in love with Satine. He also promises to fund the Moulin Rouge. Satine is very excited to meet the man who is to make her a star.

The meeting for Satine and Chiristan is set and Satine is very very excited to meet the Duke. When first sent to the room by the performers, she mistakes Christian for the Duke and starts to please him, talk to him and seduce him somehow. Very eager to show her skills to the Duke and convincing him she has it 'all'. The two share a song and the mystery is short lived, Christian tells her of his identity of a writer but by that time, he has fallen in love with her, how could he not while Satine is such a charming beauty, a perfect diamond.

The two are interrupted by the Duke but Satine tells him that they were practicing lines for the new act 'Spectacular Spectacular' and by the help of Christian, Zilder and the rest of the troupe, they pitch the show to the Duke with a very spontaneous and improvised plot of how an evil maharaja attempts to woo and marry an Indian courtesan who loves a poor Sitar player.

The Duke agrees to fund the act on one condition that only he is allowed to see and meet Satine and after the act, he would take her with him (plots to himself initially). Christian and Satine continue to see each other secretly and later Satine forbids to see him. He visits her next only to convince her that she loves him too. The two continue to see each other while rehearsing for Satine's lines from which the Duke becomes greatly jealous and threatens Zilder that make it stop or he'd stop financing the show.

Zilder talks to Satine about it and arranges a dinner for her and the Duke but makes an excuse for Satine later to the Duke (*SPOILER, won't tell why he made an excuse, see for yourself).

Satine talks to Christian that how their relationship is endangering the show and they should end it, Christian writes a love song to her and puts it in the production to prove it to her.
A jealous performer of the Moulin Rouge points to the Duke that the act is originally about himself, Christian and Satine as the maharja, Sitar player and courtesan respectively. The Duke is in rage and orders to change the ending of the play as maharaja marries the courtesan. Satine is sad and agrees to spend a night with the Duke and convince him to keep the original ending as the courtesan and the Sitar player get married. She however sees Christian from a window and withdraws from her plan.The Duke tries to take her forcibly but she is saved by 2 of the performers and reunites her with Christian and recommends that they run away together.

The Duke tells Zilder that he will get Christian killed if Satine is not his. Zilder again warns Satine of the situation. Satine tells him that they can't see each other anymore as she will now be staying with the Duke and he must leave. Christian tries following her but is denied entry in the M
oulin Rouge and he falls in sudden depression.

On the night of the show, Christian sneaks in behind the stage to talk to Satine but the two are presented in the spotlight, on the stage. Zilder tells that he is the disguised Sitar player but what happens next?

Will the Duke get Satine or will Christian fight for his love on the stage for the final time?

Being a musical, the film of course had a great great soundtrack lined up that included medley from Bollywood, and ranging from Queen to Elton John to Madonna. The film also had original songs, most notable were 'What May Come' and 'Lady Marmalade' sung by Christina Aguilera, Mya, Lil' Kim and P!nk (not featured in film) but was released after the movie and was a smash hit!

The movie itself was so well made, well acted, well-everything that it was hard not to like it if not love it. On its release, the movie grossed a great number and held re-releases in U.S and Australia. Also the movie was well received by the critics, calling it a musical masterpiece, and acting for Nicole Kidaman, Ewan McGregor and Jim Broadbent greatly appreciated.

The movie was a success for the awards season where it was heavi
ly nominated, winning the Best Musical or Comedy and Best Actress for Kidman, BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor to Broadbent. Also winning the Oscars for Best Costumes and Best Art Direction. Nicole Kidman was nominated for Best Actress, the movie itself nominated for Best Picture. In short 8 Oscar nominations! -Spectacular!!

Well, the movie is a must watch! Its light, it nice, romantic, great faces to watch or just watch it for Nicole. Its just great!

My ratings: 8.5/10.

BODYGUARD






Well this is said to be the year of SALMAN KHAN starring as LOVELY SINGH along wid KAREENA KAPOOR as DIVYA RANA. This is no one out of the world movie its a normal love story,with lots of action,and very stunning action SALMAN is a superman who just punches a guy and he flies like a G 6..lol..Movie can be said a bit hilarious,some punches are good others just fine.Salman khan and Kareena kapoor are good actors and did pretty well as far as the acting is concerned. Story was just ok nothing out of the box,action was over and direction just fine.

The story basically is of a bodyguard namely SALMAN KHAN who is very sincere to his professional,he is assigned a task of securing KAREENA KAPOOR who is daughter of a big bussiness tycoon ,also it is the same person where SALMAN'S father used to serve as bodyguard and SALMAN had outmost respect for the person and was ready to do anything for him.KAREENA just for the sake of fun started calling up salman to tease him and acted as an unknown girl who has fallen in love with him and slowly and gradually herself ell in love with him,towards the end there is just a slight twist in the story and the story ended up in a happy ending.

On the whole it was just an alright film,we have seen SALMAN  doing much beter and i look forward to see him doing some good roles in the future..

I would rate it 6-10 :)
