Ranbir’s next big hope - Bachna Ae Haseeno

Ranbir Kapoor who started out on the wrong note with Saawariya, has a chance to make amends with his next release - Bachna Ae Haseeno – a Yash Raj Productions movie. Everything seems to be going good for him – big banner, songs climbing up the charts already, not one, not two but three drop dead gorgeous actresses opposite him, great look and locations of the movie clips so far. Only worry could be the recent track record of Yash Raj. They have been found embarrassingly lacking in script sense and choice of stars.

Check out their turkeys this year – Tashan, Thoda Pyaar, Thoda Magic. Not serious enough, lets glance at last years result – Tara Rum Pum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag , Aaja Nachle, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. That’s six flops compared to one hit. Only shining light was Chak De India. So Ranbir better make sure he makes all the trips to the religious places his father and uncles used to make as it seemed to work for them.

He does have three gorgeous excuses to blame if the movie fails - Minissha Lamba, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu. And though I feel he doesn’t have hero material looks (too dopey, long face), he does seem to be charming and has a calm and mature head on his shoulders. I saw him on a TV Reality dance show and he carried himself admirably. And most important he spoke Hindi well- something that some fancy-schmancy Mumbai stars cannot do too well. Get the message, Hrithik, Fardeen, Tushar Kapoor???

Hot fresh movies coming up....

It's been some time and I haven't blogged since over a month now. By that time the movies I was discussing have been released and unfortunately did not do too well - Krazzy 4 and even Tashan which released last week. In fact Tashan was so widely promoted and hyped and irritatingly only due to its Tashan factor. What about the movie, story, acting etc? U Me aur Hum did modestly well and got good reviews though it has not pulled in huge revenues.

Anyway, they are history now and now among the upcoming movies are Dhoom Dadakka and later Hijack, Mehbooba and Sarkar Raj. Dhoom Dadakka has the funny twins Anupam Kher and Satish Shah and four newcomers - Shaad Randhawa, Sameer Dattani, Aarti Chhabria, Shama Sikander. And yes there is also the sizzling Deekshika, according to me one of the most beautiful women in teh industry. Unfortunately she has not done enough movies during her stint in Bollywood. Check out the movies for the attractive women if not the movie. It's high on drool quotient.
