Shahrukh Khan, Farhan Akhtar: 'Don 2' Bigger And Better In International Market - BollywoodPremiere.com - Bollywood News and gossip

Date: 01/21/2011

Shahrukh Khan in Don 2will see him leading a flamboyant lifestyle to make it at par with international cinema. The movie which was shot almost for an entire month in Berlin is full of class action sequences which have never before been seen in any Bollywood churn out. Film maker Farhan Akhtar’s movie Don 2 is all set to make a distinct mark for itself in the international market as much or in fact bigger and better than it is going to be in the national market. First and foremost the sequel of Don, that is Don 2 will have Shahrukh in the Don’s garb trying to capture the entire European market rather than spread his wings in crime only in India, as was the case in Don. Now in Don2 SRK will be projected as a European crime lord with all amenities of an international kingpin. Thus Don 2 will have this crime lord fooling the police all over the world rather than just in 11 countries. Reports suggest that this movie has all the necessary steps taken to see that no leaf has been left unturned in investing on the lavish lifestyle of the crime lord and as a result the budget strings have crossed boundaries set up by any Bollywood film based on international crime. Now reports pouring in also suggest that there are plans to put forth an international version for the NRI audiences and also foreign audiences for whom the songs will have to be done away with and the dialogues to be kept short. Further it is being stated that Don 2 will be made as slick as any international flick and thus Tom Cruise’s MI4 can face some stiff competition from this very big Bollywood blockbuster Don 2.

Review

'The Metro' has as its tagline the very intriguing statement - It could happen to you! The film directed by Bipin Prabhakar talks of three seemingly dissimilar tales that converge at one point.

Nivin Pauly plays Harikrishnan who has arrived from Saudi Arabia to take part in his sister's wedding. He decides to run an errand for a friend in Saudi and is on his way to Pala to deliver a parcel.

After the job is done, Hari along with five friends travel to Kochi in a merry mood, where the unexpected awaits them.

Bhavana plays Anupama, an Infopark employee who is on the run from someone who is constantly pursuing her. Sarath Kumar is North CI Jacob Alexander who has been put in charge of a murder investigation.

These three diverse stories merge at a point where 'The Metro' turns out to be a thrilling rise. The film has been scripted by Vyasan Edavanakkad.

'The Metro' also stars Bhagath, Beyon, Arun, Suraj Venjarammoodu, Suresh Krishna, Nishanth Sagar, G K Pillai, Jagathy Sreekumar, Shammi Thilakan, Sadiq, Anil Murali along with a host of other actors.

The music is by Shan Rehman, while Rajeev Aalunkal has penned the lyrics. Produced by Dileep under the banner of Graand Productions, the film is fast being readied for a release.

Chritian Brothers release postponded

Joshey directed multistarrer film 'Christian Brothers' that was scheduled for a release last October was expected to release by the end of January.
However now it seems that the release of the film has been postponed again to March 2010. The reasons of the postponement have not been revealed by the producers. 

It remains to be seen if the postponement plans will work in favor of the film. Because March seems to be a busy season with the IPL Season coming up and also the annual exams.

Traffic- ITs a brilliant work by Rajesh sir!

Rajesh Pillai's Traffic is a brutally brilliant film in which he lends color to coincidence and unveils before us a cogitation on the dynamics of chance. A strikingly crafted film that is raw and genuine, it crawls right under your skin and stays there.

It all takes place on the 16th of September, when a few men and women, going on with their distinct lives in diverse worlds, find their paths crossing each other at a traffic island. Rehan (Vineeth Sreenivasan) is all excited about joining Indiavision as a journalist and sets out with his best friend Rajeev (Asif Ali). Aditi (Sandhya), getting over a divorce, sees him off and looks forward to something more. Dr. Abel (Kunchacko Boban) has plans to surprise his wife Shwetha (Remya Nambeesan) with a brand new car on their wedding anniversary. 

Sudevan (Sreenivasan) is back at work as a police constable, after a brief stint of suspension for having accepted bribes. Superstar Siddharth (Rahman) has a new release on the day, while his wife (Lena) is worried about their young daughter's failing health. Miriam (Roma), Manager at an FM Radio station gets an alarming text message on her mobile. And all this in a matter of twelve hours on the same day.

Bobby and Sanjay's script is one in which there has been a close scrutiny of all possible leak cracks, and in which almost all of them have been filled shut. Hence the several events that take place in the film simultaneously hold together amazingly well, and there is hardly a moment in the film where your focus drops. This is quite a feat, since it involves an adept juggling between emotions aplenty, some outstanding twists, a few mind boggling thrills and some well-kept suspense. The bottom-line is that Traffic could easily boast to have one of the best scripts written in Malayalam in recent times.

The least claustrophobic of men would lean out of the car window for a gulp of fresh air at the traffic junction when the traffic grinds to a halt, where a seemingly endless line of automobiles have streamed in from all around. The horns honking behind, over and around, and an air of impatience that hangs like a smog above whipping up a whirlpool of edginess that disperses as the lights change color, and the drive back to a hazy life where sometimes it gets as cluttered as beneath a traffic signal - Rajesh Pillai's film digs deeps down into those coarse and at times savage feelings that bond together humans in complex webs of love, passion, grief and deceit. 

A couple of aerial shots of the hectic traffic on a sweltering day make it assume serpentine proportions, as it slithers around forebodingly threatening to gulp down the tiny vehicles that make it up. The visual panache that is maintained throughout is courtesy some terrific cinematography by Shyju Khalid and some real tight editing by Mahesh Narayanan. 

It's a mammoth star cast in Traffic, and rarely does a film offer almost all its actors what they are truly capable of. The 'moments' are there for everyone, and they impress us for a while, and gracefully make way for another to occupy center stage. No star charisma at work here; just plain acting at its very natural best. Among the men, I was enamored by Kunchacko Boban's performance and Asif Ali is quite impressive as well. Lena proves beyond doubt what an amazing actor she is, while Sandhya accentuates our belief in her. 

All those apprehensions as to whether Traffic has been inspired by the Paul Haggis directed Oscar Winner 'Crash' or the renowned Mexican neo-noir film Amores Perros can now be brushed aside. The only semblance between Traffic and the other two films is that it involves an accident. Nothing more, nothing less. 

After a false start a few years back, the signal has turned a smashing green for the director of Traffic. Zoom ahead, Rajesh! We're already eager to see what you have in store for us next.
