Drona the film

The next sci-fi adventure from Bollywood is Drona or at least that is what it looks like to me. Apparently there are lots of special effects used in the movie, and i hope they do work, because in Bollywood we have a history of film-makers getting caried away with special effects and making amess of the movie. And in many cases the SFX are tacky and do not look good in the movie.

I remember a movie called Jaani Dushman - it was horrible. It was basically a vehicle to make a hit movie for a producers son - Armaan Kohli for those who remember him. The doting father pulled in half the football team size stars in it and yet the movie flopped. I mean the movie was obviously horrible, so I think even the big stars could not have saved it. I remember it had Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar, Sonu Nigam (Yessssssss the singer), and a few more gullible stars besides Armaan Kohli and his lady love Manisha Koirala. So u can imagine what bad special effects can do to a movie.

I really hope for AB's sake that film Drona movie is good because he is a good actor and deserves all the success he can get. It also has teh yummy Priyanka Chopra as his...wowwwww..... bodyguard. Boy would I like to guard her body!!!!! Smouldering hottie that she is.

Add Mummy Jaya and Kay Kay Menon to complete the list and we have the big summer movie Drona served hot and ready to savour.

Hashar

A Punjabi film called Hashar - a love Story is being released in a big way. Normally Punjabi movies are usually heard of in the northern territories and not much to the south of the country. But Hashar has the very popular Babbu Maan as the star and that makes it a big ticket movie, at least in Punjab and its surrounding areas.

He is of course a popular singer/performer in Punjab and people will be looking forward to this movie of his. He has also scored the music for Hashar and also responsible for the lyrics. He has two pretty damsels Mahima Mehta and Gurleen Chopra opposite him. Also starring are Gurkirtan, Rana Ranbir, Sudesh Lahiri, Dr. Surinder Sharma, John Victor, with the director being Gaurav Trehan.

Hashar is a college campus caper and how politicians get involved in it and mess up the lives of young people. reminds me of a very good film a few years back called Haasil which had Jimmy Shergill as the main protaganist in it. Hope Hashar also is appreciated by the masses.
