Music : A R Rahman
ja.jpg

UTV Motion Pictures and Ashutosh Gowariker’s much awaited epic romance
JODHAA AKBAR, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is
slated for a worldwide release on 15th February, 2008. The soundtrack,
composed by music maestro A.R. Rahman and lyrics written by Javed
Akhtar, will release on 9th January through UTV’s new record label UTV
Music.

The change of release date is due to the fact that Ashutosh Gowariker
has been advised bed rest for 21 days with a severe back problem. The
director was scheduled to be in Chennai for this entire week to finish
the background score of the film, but could not move out because of
strict instructions from his doctors not to travel.

Referring to his back problem, Ashutosh stated, “I am sad that this had
to happen in the thick of post production; it is unfortunate, but it
has to be dealt with.”

Welcome – Movie review

December 22, 2007 at 11:09 pm (movie reviews) (, , , )

Welcome
Director : Anees Bazmee
Starring : Feroz Khan, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Mallika Sherawat, Paresh Rawal.
welcome.jpg

WELCOME is a funny movie, but at times it seems the comedy is streched too far.

Story quite obvious from the promos, Akshay fals in love with katrina, who is the sister of the maphia kings Anil and Nana Patekar. As per Akshay’s mamaji’s (Paresh Rawal) rule, he should marry only from a sharif family. Then the story turns to the hand of Akshay where he tries to convince the brothers to follow a good path.

Feroz Khan makes his entry in the second half and makes the situation worser. The climax is the worst part of the movie and could have done in a different style.

Movie clearly belongs to Anil in the first half and Nana in the second half with FK and Mallika doing the extended cameos.

Akshay’s role has nothing new to offer to his fans and they are in for a disappointment this time round

Rating : 5/10

New Generation Mobiles

Nokia 888 Communicator :

Nokia definitely has the most interesting concept phones.. Nokia 888 Communicator is a striking futuristic concept phone. The phone, which uses liquid batteries, speech recognition, flexible touchscreen and touch-sensitive body cover,is designed by Tamer Nakisci and won the Nokia Design Award .

Nokia Aeon

Nokia Aeon was presented by Nokia on their website in the Research & Development section. What is so great about this phone is that it looks like it will actually go into production next February. Of course, its just a rumor, but still, makes us hope to actually see it someday in the GSM shop. All we know about it for now is that its a touchscreen phone and it looks fantastic.

Benq-Siemens “The Blackbox”

Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch screen as its keypad and, depending on the functions you are using, the touch screen changes the control layout immediately.

Asus Aura

And here’s another concept phone – Asus Aura, produced by Hungarian design company. It was clearly inspired by iPhone, although it has some interesting innovations addressing commonly mentioned shortcomings of Apple’s cellphone.

Jodhaa Akbar – music release delayed

December 19, 2007 at 8:38 am (A R Rahman, music review) (, , , , )

Film : Jodhaa Akbar
Director : Ashutosh Gowarikar
Music : A R Rahman
jodhaakbar.jpg

Jodhaa Akbar is the untold love story of the greatest Mughal emperor who ruled Hindustan With Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa. Film is directed by Lagaan fame Ashutosh Gowarikar.

The film Jodhaa Akbar is in a steep of problems. First, UTV wanted to back out of the film, then they bailed it out. Next, they had a hard time finding a music distributer. BIG music came along, and now is backing out. UTV has to launch its own music label to bail the music out again. It wont surprise me if the movie got postponed to Feb or March with music releasing in Jan sometime. As a fan of A R Rahman these series of events has been frustrating to watch. Hope that UTV promotes the music and movie with sincere effort.

Now UTV has the copyrights, and they will be licensing the expertise of Sony Music for the rest of the things. So lets hope for the best. They are now working hard 24×7 to release it on the 27th Dec.

December 2005 Sony BMG releases the music of Rang De Basanti
January 2006 Rang De Basanti creates history

December 2006 Sony BMG releases the music of Guru
January 2007 Guru is a superhit

December 2007 Sony BMG releases the music of Jodhaa Akbar
January 2008 Will history repeat again…?
