Movie: **

Mirch Movie About? Although we have seen a lot of films telling several short stories that come together in the end Life In A... Metro, and Love, Sex And Dhoka this one is different.

It's a film within a film. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at the film industry and the struggle faced by B-Town writers.

A struggling writer Maanav (Singh) is trying to sell his script to a producer (Ray).

He narrates four stories, inspired from various classics ranging from Amar Chitra Katha to Boccaccio's Decameron all based on the theme of adultery, committed by married women.

The stories are sexy, naughty and writer-director Vinay Shukla binds these love affairs with one common subject infidelity.

What's HOT: Kudos to the director for picking a unique subject. The writing is clever and he picks a ensemble cast to tell the delicious accounts of suspicious men and cheating wives.

The film is set in two different time zones and the director takes us to a bygone era and back to the present smoothly from a king's palace to a filmmaker's office and then to a sleazy model.

The first two stories set in times of kings and royalty are definitely more appealing. Konkona Sen Sharma and Raima Sen star in two stories each as strong, sexually-liberated women. Newcomer Arunoday appears in each of the four and plays the sex object.

Quite the reversal of roles. The performances by the entire cast save Raghubir Yadav are flawless. Raima deserves special mention, as she plays both her characters with sass. The soundtrack is melodious.

What's not: While the idea is solid, it is flawed. The tales of stolen pleasures don't work in the end. The whole last bit, about the producer's own personal life, doesn't fit.

The novelty begins to wear off in the second half and it begins to get monotonous. The stories set in the contemporary times don't connect.

What to do: If you want to see something different and interesting, this is your best bet for this week.

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. ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
