Paathshaala Movie Review

Paathshaala Movie Review
In the beginning there is Nana Patekar (Aditya Sahay) playing the principal of a school. He is glum, very strict and goes about changing the rules of his school in an almost inhuman way.

In the end, we hear his spiel on how he gave 32 years of his life to this school, why he did not marry (because he would have to share his passion), also he would have had two kids, but here he has many. And, he feels nice when students who he does not recognize meet him on the streets and touch his feet. Suddenly he smiles when a kid gives him flowers and he is now a new man.

In between, we are treated to some slack display of how a school is run. How the management suddenly raises their fees, harassment standards, and the students and teachers bear it all. A student is kept out in the sun for the whole day for not paying his fees and his father is insulted. Canteen rates are hiked up, students are made to audition for various reality shows to make their school famous...Through all this, principal Sahay is a mute spectator. Okay, Ukey, time for you to go to PAATSHAALA!

In fact, its time for the entire production unit to go back to school. The basics of filmmaking are all wrong. There is no script, no screenplay and the plot is so unbelievable that you almost want to reach out and slap the characters on screen.

I mean people walking all over you and you taking it all were what we saw in films of the late eighties. When actors like Shoma Anand and Raj Kiran played characters that harassed the good guys in a family. Bollywood has progressed beyond all that insane nonsense.

I'm just wondering how actors like Nana Patekar and Shahid Kapoor got trapped in this PAATSHAALA, because the story itself is laughable.

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version. The most highlighting factor about these films is that Vivek Oberoi will speak Tamil himself for the dubbing. When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc.

Bollywood: John Abraham’s Slum Connection

Bollywood New Movie Slumdog Millionaire has definitely made the slums of Mumbai a little popular. Perhaps this is why they are so welcoming to every director who wants to make a film on their lifestyle. John Abraham’s fortcoming film Hook Ya Crook is also one of those films shot in the Chikalwadi Chawl of Mumbai. This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl. In a song John and Genelia D’Souza dance to a tapori-ish number with the typical tapori dance steps. The residents of the slum were delighted to see the stars around and cheered for the unit as they worked. John Abraham added to their delight by giving them autographs and taking pictures with them.
