Happy birthday to talented star Akshay Khanna.

Happy birthday to talented star Akshay Khanna. The viewers wish happy birthday to talented star Akshay Khanna on 4th April, 2011.Akshay Khanna has been an exception in the list of bollywood actors who had joined bollywood films in the 90s. He has banked his resources on his decency which most of the actors hardly care about. He exhibited his softness of character in the film Taal opposite Aiswariya Rai. He did not try to be forceful in his presentation of affection in the film. In Border, he played the role of an Indian soldier who died at the border after he had been successful in destroying the Pakistani forces in the war that took place in the 70s. He loved his wife and mother which was shown in the flashback. He gave good lips in Sonu Nigam’s song “hume jab se mohabbat ho gayi hai”, composed by Anu Malik. He was also sublime in the film Hulchul opposite Kareena Kapoor. He tried to create an artificial weakness for her as his family and Kareena’s family were at war for generations. But after meeting her some time, he fell in love in reality and ultimately succeeded in marrying her against the wishes of all the family members. He played the complex role in Dil Chahta Hai, opposite Dimple Kapadia, where he was the friend of Amir Khan and Saif Ali Khan and fell in love with a middle aged lady, who was older than him. He even left his friends as the association with Dimple was quite awkward and these types of attachments are not accepted in the societies of third world countries. He expressed a thoughtful character who was different from his enthusiastic friends in the film. He had also done well in the film 36 China Town, where he played the role of a detective. The film was based on a murder that took place in 36 China Town, where Kareena and Shahid Kapoor also went and got involved in the list of suspected characters. He solved the mystery in style. In Salaame- e- Ishq his romantic andaz opposite Ayesha Takia still haunts viewers. He gave a reserve performance in the film Aakrosh in 2010. His soft style of dialogue throwing balanced the dare devil acts of Ajay Devgan in the film. Both of them did a great job. He even acted well in the film Tees Maar Khan. The film did not do great business due to the storyline but Akshay Khanna’s performance was well appreciated. Akshay Khanna has a number of films in his list of films which are going to be released in 2011 and viewers expect his dynamic performance in all of them.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan. The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Ajay Devgan on 2nd April, 2011. He had contributed a lot in bollywood films in the last 20 years. He started his career with the superhit film Phool Aur Kaante. As his father Veeru Devgan had a great background of training actors for action sequences and Ajay Devgan started his career with the latent quality of an action hero.

The action sequences in Phool Aur Kaante were excellent. Also the music of the film became hit with songs like “premi pagal awara”, “tumko milne ko dil karta hai”, etc., sung by Kumar Shanu and Alka Yagnik, which were picturized on Ajay Devgan and Madhu.

The other successful films of Ajay Devgan include Ishq, Dilwale, Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, etc. In Ishq, he acted with Amir Khan, Juhi Chawla and Kajol, and contributed well in the comedy sequences of the film. The film was based on the story of affairs between rich and poor people and the fathers of Juhi Chawla and Ajay Devgan never wanted to get their children married to poor people. The music of the film was very successful with songs like “ishq hua”, “humko tumse pyar hai”, etc.

Ajay Devgan also acted in very serious films like Raincoat opposite Aishwarya Rai, which was directed by Rituporno Ghosh, Zakhm, Gangaajal , etc. He had created an identity of a reserve actor and that image helped him in getting landmark roles for the last 10 years. His other successful films include Golmaal and Golmaal Returns.

In both Golmaal and Golmaal Returns Ajay Devgan acted with other comedians like Arshad Warsi and Tushaar Kapoor and maintained the rhythm of the film. Tushar Kapoor played the role of a deaf and dumb character in the film and at the end of the film got the job, the girl for marriage, as against the interests of his other friends.

Ajay Devgan married successful actress Kajol and both had acted together in a number of films like Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, Ishq, You, Me and Hum, etc., most of which were successful. Even Ajay Devgan’s role of a ghost in the film Kaal opposite Lara Dutta, John Abraham and others were well appreciated by viewers. His performance in patriotic roles like that of Shahid Bhagat Singh also requires special mention.

His film All the best did brilliant business in the last year. Although the credit for the success of the comedy film goes collectively to the effort of Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu and others, but Ajay Devgan’s anticipation of viewers accepting comedy stories require appreciation.

2010 proved extremely successful for Ajay Devgan. In 2010 also he had acted in the comedy film Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge with Konkona Sen Sharma and Paresh Rawal. The serious films in the year like Once Upon a Time In Mumbai did excellent business as compared to Aakrosh. The comedy film Golmaal 3 did excellent business and Ajay Devgan proved his effortlessness opposite actress Kareena Kapoor in style. The viewers expect Ajay Devgan to continue his good work both as an actor and also producer, director in 2011 in the years to come.

Winners and losers of 2010.

Winners and losers of 2010.

With a business of more than 150 crores, Salman Khan, the actor, Sonakshi Sinha, the actress, Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Khan the producers of the film Dabaang had been the greatest winners of 2010. The director Abhinav Kashyap had utilized the team of Dabanng including the composers Sajid Wajid, actors Sonu Sood, Mahesh Manjarekar and singers Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal to their best capabilities. The other hit films of the year included Rajneeti, Housefull, Ishqiya, Golmaal 3 and Peepli Live.

To everyone’s surprise the big budget films like Raavan, Kites, Guzarish collapsed at the box-office. Tees Mar Khan had got a good opening. After few weeks it will be seen whether it ends up as hit or not.

Priyanka Chopra had a bad year with all her films ending up in flops including Pyaar Impossible and Anjaana Anjaani. Hrithik Roshan’s two films also flopped including Kites and Guzarish, but his acting in Guzarish had been appreciated. Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif had a decent year with one hit each including Golmaal 3 and Rajneeti. Ranbir Kapoor had a good year with his hit film Rajneeti, but his other film Anjaana Anjaani did mediocre business. Anil Kapoor’s No Problem also ended with mediocre business.

Ashutosh Gowarikar’s project Khelenge Hum Ji Jaan Se flopped and that was the biggest loss of the powerful director who had given super hit films like Jodha Akbar in the past. Akshay Kumar had both hits and flops in the year. While Housefull became hit, Khatta Meetha and Action Replayy flopped. Aishwarya Rai also had a number of flops in the year. It started with Raavan, continued with Action Replayy and ended in Guzarish. Abhishek Bacchan’s both the films Raavan and Khelen Hum Je Jaan Se flopped at box-office.

Ajay Devgan was another winner of the year. He had hits like Rajneeti and Golmaal 3. His other two films like Once Upon a Time in Mumbai and Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge did decent business. “munni badnam hui” and “shiela, shiela ki jawani” were the biggest hit songs of the years, both being item numbers.

Ajay Devgan and Akshay Khanna were brilliant in Aakrosh.

Ajay Devgan and Akshay Khanna were brilliant in Aakrosh.

Ajay Devgan and Akshay Khanna were brilliant in their individual roles in the film Aakrosh. The film had depicted the political evils in the state of Bihar.

Both Akshay Khanna had been send by CBI to the state of Bihar to investigate on three murders which took place but there was no trace of the bodies and no clue as to who killed them. The two styles of performances of Akshay Khanna and Ajay Devgan had impressed the viewers. While Ajay Devgan displayed the Bihari style of violent style of performance, Akshay Khanna displayed his reserved and restrained style of performance.

Paresh Rawal, the police officer in the film was involved in all the three murders. He played his cruel character with witty demeanour. Bipasha Basu did well in the role of his wife.

Ajay Devgan had also showed his bravery in few encounters shown in the film. In one of them he sat on top of a jeep being driven by Akshay Khanna amidst jungles and rugged landscapes when he was looking for the body of Reema Sen. At the end they found that her tongue was cut by miscreants.

The film had been criticized by a section of the viewers for being too much filled with violence. But part of the violence was required to be depicted for unfolding the facts of the film. Internationally recognized director Govind Nihalini also faced questions relating to violence being depicted in his films Aakrosh, Ardha Satya, Drohkaal, Tamas at one point of time. But his excellent standard of casting and brilliant direction had overshadowed the violence depicted in the film.

Aakrosh had done good business from the time it had been released. These days action films and films full of violence are less liked by the audience. But whatever may be the fate of the box-office collections in respect of Aakrosh both Ajay Devgan and Akshay Khanna should be credited for their versatile performances in the film.

Golmaal 3 is more hilarious than Golmaal 1 and 2.

Golmaal 3 is more hilarious than Golmaal 1 and 2.

Director Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 3 is more hilarious than Golmaal 1 and 2. The film had been shot in Goa. In the film Mithun Chakravarty and his sons were involved in scams involving fake history question papers.

When Mithun Chakravarty reprimanded them for selling fake question papers to students, Arshad Warsi said that he was going to teach the students never to take short cuts. His other two brothers namely Tushar Kapoor and Kunal Khemu helped him in executing the scam.

Within short distance, brothers Ajay Devgan and Shreyas Talpade with friend Kareena Kapoor ran a water-rides business. They clashed with Arshad Warsi and men when they did the same business on the beach.

The characteristics of Ajay Devgan, Tushar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade, part of the team of Golmaal returns were retained. Some fresh characteristics were also created in this film. Kareena Kapoor hurled abused at frequent intervals in the film. Shreyas Talpade stammered in the film. Tushar Kapoor continued his language ‘a-i-o’.

Johnny Lever did well in his role of a patient of lost memory. Sometimes he at one point he thought he was a thief, at other time he thought Ajay Devgan was a bus conductor. Mithun Chakravarty did his part very well. The other actors and actresses including Arshad Warsi, Ajay Devgan, Sheyas Talpade and Kareena Kapoor had played comedy roles in tandom at one time. So the performance in this film is not that challenging for them.

Pritam’s music was fine with impressive songs like “apna har din” sung by Anushka Manchanda and Shaan, “desi kaali” sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Neeraj Shreedhar. All the films directed by Rohit Shetty relating to Golmaal series did great business. Golmaal 3 is also expected to do better business with the star cast and powerful performances.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai will do mediocre business.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai will do mediocre business.

The film Once Upon A Time In Mumbai will do mediocre business. The film had been produced by Ekta Kapoor and the film had been directed by Milan Luthria.

The film opened up with suicidal attempt of Randeep Hooda on the pretext of Mumbai Blasts in 1993. He was annoyed with himself for leaving Imran Hashmi, one of the persons involved in the blasts when he was an ACP.

The story of Ajay Devgan was also unfolded. He was also an outsider to Mumbai at one time. Then his smuggling activities with gold and other things made him a don. But his illegal activities did not stand in the way for his help given to the poor in the area.

Imran Hashmi tried his best to become a notorious figure and also a bigger don than Ajay Devgan. Ajay Devgan had an affair with Kangana Ranaut, a bollywood actress. Ajay Devgan invested money in the films of Kangana Ranaut. Randip Hooda was trapped by Ajay Devgan for taking bribe and his image was tarnished.

Imran Hashmi had an affair with Prachi Desai. Prachi Desai worked in a jewellery shop. At the end of the film it had been shown that Imran Hashmi had settled abroad and became smuggling don. The police cannot reach him.

The music of the film had been composed by Pritam. There was not much scope of composing romantic songs. The performance of Ajay Devgan, Imran Hashmi, Prachi Desai, Kangana Ranaut had been excellent. But the prospect of the film doing extremely well is very meager, because viewers these days don’t like stories related to underworld. Already it had been shown in the past and films like Deewar and Vaastav had been successful. The film will do moderate business.

Paresh Rawal was brilliant in Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge.

Paresh Rawal was brilliant in Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge.

The film Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge, does not have anything new other than the brilliant performance of Paresh Rawal. There has been a mindset of most of the directors these days that the moment they make a comedy film it will automatically be hit. There is no basis of this mindset. If in 2009, All The Best did great business, Do Not Disturb and De Dana Dan flopped.

Ashwni Dhar had been the director of the film. He had cast Ajay Devgan, Konkona Sen Sharma and Paresh Rawal in the main roles. Warner Brother Pictures and Wide Frame Films had produced the film. In this film Ajay Devgan and Konkona Sen Sharma had a peaceful family.

But the appearance of Paresh Rawal in their house created the maximum amount of displeasure. He mentioned that he was a distant relative of the family and come from village. But the period of time for which promised to stay passed away. He never decided to leave the house.

He created annoyance of every type for the family. Ajay Devgan and Konkona Sen Sharma had tried every type of ploy to compel Paresh Rawal to leave the house. But he was adamant enough to act on their ploy. The character artists like Ritesh Deshmukh, Sanjay Mishra, Pradeep Rawat, Satish Kaushik did well in their respective roles.

The music had been composed by Pritam. The song “dohe” sung by Amit Misra and “aaja aaja” sung by Pritam had been popular. The other song “joti jalaile” sung by Vishal Bharatdwaj was not bad. But the film does not have the masala with which viewers can be drawn in to the cinema halls or persuaded to sit in the halls for three hours.

The acting of Paresh Rawal and Konkona Sen Sharma had been fine. The best part of Paresh Rawal lied in asking Viju Khote during a film shooting to repeat his dialogue of Sholay titled “kitne aadmi the”. He got fed up saying do. The simplicity of Paresh Rawal in the respective role made people laugh. Ultimately the set that was created in the shooting site was destroyed because the director asked them to blast it when he said two and Viju Khote said do.

The film did mediocre business in 2010 and it was more than enough for the director and producer.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan.

The viewers expect Ajay Devgan to continue his good work both as an actor and also producer, director in the years to come.

Happy birthday to Madhu.

Happy birthday to Madhu.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Madhu on 26th March, 2010. Madhu, also known as Madhubala Raghunath had contributed a lot to the bollywood industry especially in the 90s. During the 90s, terrorism became an important issue in India. Many directors addressed the problem by revealing them in films.

Director Mani Ratnam addressed the issue relating to terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir in his Roja. Roja was probably the most successful film of Madhu. It had been shown that Madhu was married to Arvind Swami after he rejected Madhu’s sister for marriage. In fact Madhu’s sister had an affair with another person and told Arvind Swami about it.

Arvind Swami was a renowned computer engineer and his senior officer asked him to take an assignment and go to Kashmir. Arvind Swami took Madhu and went to Kashmir. Over there Arvind Swamy was kidnapped by the terrorists led by Pankaj Kapoor. They demanded the release of their leader who was arrested and kept in custody.

Madhu went to all the officers present over there for the release of the terrorist leader for the sake of her husband. At the end of the film Arvind Swamy freed himself and came and met Madhu after being tortured by the terrorists. The film became super hit, with powerful direction, brilliant music of AR Rehman and powerful acting of mainly Arvind Swami, Madhu and Pankaj Kapoor. The songs “roja janeman”, “rukmini rukmini”, “dil hai chota sa” stormed bollywood films in mid-90s.

Madhu did well even in action films like Phool Aur Kaante, opposite Ajay Devgan. The film was related to the romantic story between Ajay Devgan and Madhu and the barriers created by anti-socials in their way. The music given in that film by Nadeem Shravan was also successful. The songs “premi pagal”, ‘tumse milne ko dil karta hai”, etc., sung by mainly Kumar Shanu and Alka Yagnik, became very successful.

Madhu was also sublime in other films like Hum Hai Bemisaal, Diljaale, Return of the Jewel Thief, etc. She had acted with Sunil Shetty, Akshay Kumar and other leading stars of bollywood films. She was sublime in the film Yashwant opposite Nana Patekar. Her husband was adamant police of officer and she became a successful officer after passing civil service exam. She compromised with the uncompromising character played by Nana Patekar who gave her shelter and married her.

She acted in a number of Tamil and Malayalam films like Ottaya Pattalam as well. In the late 90s, all of a sudden she faded out of the bollywood industry. The viewers expect her to make a comeback very soon.

Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge has nothing new.

Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge has nothing new.

The film Atithi Tum Kab Jayoge, does not have anything new. There has been a mindset of most of the directors these days that the moment they make a comedy film it will automatically be hit. There is no basis of this mindset. If in 2009, All The Best did great business, Do Not Disturb and De Dana Dan flopped.

But the film does not have the masala with which viewers can be drawn in to the cinema halls or persuaded to sit in the halls for three hours.

The acting of Paresh Rawal, Konkona Sen Sharma and Paresh Rawal had been fine. But if the script does not help the actors to that extent, the comedy punch at times become boring.

If the film does mediocre business it is more than enough for the director and producer.

Bipasha Basu in 2009.

Bipasha Basu in 2009.

Bipasha Basu showed her romantic presence in landmark films in 2009 like All the best. She acted opposite Ajay Devgan and made everyone laugh with her hilarious performance. She has been one of the most sought after models who had become indispensable in bollywood films in the last few years.

In the Lux Sabse Favourite Kaun night she won the award for the most style icon of 2009. Her stylish andaz had been appreciated by the viewers of the modern days.

When she initially joined bollywood films in Ajnabee with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Kareena Kapoor, her smartness and aggressive performance was discussed amongst producers and directors. With passage of time new producers found similarity of Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie and Sofia Lorrain and started giving her roles which were both bold and beautiful.

She was considered an art-film actress after her restrained performance in Madhur Bhandarkar’s off-beat project Corporate. Her hit films include Ajnabee, Bacchna Aye Haseeno, Race, etc.

She had bagged the award for the most stylish icon last year in 2008, during a year when other bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra had stormed bollywood films with their stylish performances and westernized dress-ups.

Although the complexion of Bipasha Basu was darkish, her looks were unique and that was the reason she was used by directors of different dimensions. In films like Dhoom 2, where Aishwarya Rai showed challenging stunts opposite Hrithik Roshan, Bipasha Basu complimented Abhishek Bacchan in the film with her smart performance. Till date she had performed in more stylish roles than tradional characters.

It did not matter to her that she had not been identified as romantic stars like Preeti Zinta, or Rani Mukherjee or Kareena Kapoor, who had ruled bollywood films for the last 5 years, as long as her performance in contemporary films were appreciated and her films did brilliant business in India and abroad.

Even with increase of age, viewers had to accept her presence in films in 2008, like Bacchna Aye Haseeno, where she had performed opposite younger stars like Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba. In an interview before a private channel Ranbir Kapoor mentioned that Bipasha Basu was the most matured actress who had acted opposite her in his short career. Beyond style and dance performances she had very strong acting conception which had still kept her in the rat race.

The viewers expect her to continue her brilliant work in bollywood films and show more dynamism in future.

London Dreams will do great business.

London Dreams will do great business.

Director Vipul Shah did a great experiment with Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Asin in the film London Dreams. There had been inspiration from Peter Shaffer’s play Amadeus based on the lives of composers Mozart and Antonio Salieri.

Both Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan were friends in this film. They inherited musical genes from their ancestors. Music was there in their earlier generations. Ajay Devgan wanted to be a stage performer and fulfill the wishes of his grandfather which was unfulfilled. Salman Khan never took musical lessons of his father seriously. He wanted to be a person with a large heart.

Ajay Devgan created a band in London with Rannvijay Singh an Aditya Roy Kapoor. Ajay Devgan also brought Asin from a conservative South Indian family to London as she was very much fond of music. Salman Khan at that point of time only performed in marriages as singer.

Salman Khan was also brought to London to form his own band. Salman’s band became more popular than Ajay Devgan’s band. One of the reasons was due to Salman Khan’s capability of attracting the attention of the audience by his mannerisms. Ajay Devgan started envying Salman Khan as both of them loved Asin, and Asin developed attraction towards Salman Khan.

Ajay Devgan persuaded Salman Khan to get addicted to drugs and got him arrested. He also gave the information to media so that Salman Khan could be humiliated. When the opportunity was there to perform in Wembly Stadium, Ajay Devgan gave drugs to Salman Khan so that he failed to perform over there. But Salman Khan managed to get away from it and performed there. Ajay Devgan realized his guilt and confessed in the stadium about the evil acts he had committed against Salman Khan.

Due to all these the band London Dreams broke up and Salman Khan returned back to India. But Ajay Devgan’s uncle advised Ajay Devgan to go Salman’s house and repent about his misdeeds. He did it and after that both Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan joined London Dreams once again and made it successful.

The film had been produced by Vipul Shah and Paramjeet Singh. Shankar Ehsaan Loy had given fantastic music once again. The song “hai re hai re” became extremely popular even before the release of the film. The film has all the elements to end up being super hit film.

All the best got a good opening.

All the best got a good opening.

To the amazement of most of the viewers of bollywood films, the film All the best got a brilliant opening, when released on the same date with the film Blue and Mr. Aur Mrs Khanna. Most of the viewers thought that the other two films would have got a greater opening.

In this film Sanjay Dutt had been shown as a businessman in London. His brother Fardeen Khan always wanted money from Sanjay Dutt. Sanjay Dutt did not marry anyone but pretended to have married Mugdha Godse.

Ajay Devgan was a dealer of cars. He was married to Bipasha Basu. Due to financial debts both Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt borrowed money from the local gangstar Johnny Lever. From there the problems of both the gentlemen started.

The rest of the film was related to the story of how the two individuals Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan managed to face Johnny Lever in relation to their debts. The film had been directed by Rohit Shetty. Ajay Devgan produced the film along with acting in it.

The character actors and actresses in the film did exceeding well including Asrani, Mukesh Tiwari, Ashwini Kalsekar, Sanjay Mishra, to name a few. Pritam had composed the music of the film and one of the songs titled “All the best” had already become a hit.

There are two reasons for the success of the film All the best over Blue and other films. One reason is that the lives of most of the middle-class Indians had been stressed out. They find relief in seeing comedy films over other types of films. So action films and romantic films do not have the same market as comedy films.
The other factor had been the combination of Rohit Shetty with Ajay Devgan and other group of actors. He had used them in Golmaal which was a hit, and therefore knew how to make the best use of their acting talent.

Golmaal returns was more entertaining than Golmaal.

Golmaal returns was more entertaining than Golmaal.

Golmaal was a very successful film with Ajay Devgan, Tushar Kapoor and others contributing well in the film. In fact Paresh Rawal and Sushmita Mukherjee did a great job in their roles as blind persons in the film Golmaal.

Golmaal Returns was made with almost the same team. Ajay Devgan, Tushar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Celina Jaitley did a better job in the film. Kareena Kapoor was shown as the wife of Ajay Devgan who suspected her husband. She thought he had affairs with other persons.

One night Ajay Devgan spend with Celina Jaitley and to hide the fact he said he spend his time with Anthony Gonzalves. Kareena Kapoor wrote a letter to Anthony Gonzalves and brought another person and from that moment the drama started. On the other hand a colleague in Ajay Devgan’s office was killed and Ajay Devgan was suspected for the murder.

The investigation was carried out by Arshad Warsi and he made errors after errors and messed up with everything. Arshad Warsi was also having an affair with Amrita Arora, who was playing the role of the sister of Ajay Devgan.

Tushar Kapoor was probably at his best. He was shown as a dumb person who expressed himself by making peculiar sounds and funny gestures. Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi and Kareena Kapoor are veteran actors and actresses and as such showed their experience in the film. The songs in the film were also successful. Music was composed by Pritam and the songs “tu sala kaam se gaya”, “golmaal golmaal” became super hit.

Just like Hollywood films, bollywood these days is involved in making sequels. Golmaal Returns had been more funny and entertaining than Golmaal. The viewers expect that the sequel of Golmaal Returns will be even more entertaining.

Happy birthday to Kajol.

Happy Birthday To Kajol

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Kajol on 5th August, 2009. She had dominated bollywood films during the mid-90s.

Besides her combination with Shahrukh Khan had given many everlasting hits like Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Karan Arjun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, etc. Most of these films were musical blockbusters as well. The songs in these films like “yeh kaali kaali ankhen”, “jaati hun mai”, “kuch kuch hota hai” became landmark hits over the years.

Besides, the directors and producers of the late 90s experimented with different types of roles with Kajol. She played the role of a villain in the film Gupt opposite Bobby Deol. She went on killing Raj Babbar, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and others to maintain his attachment with Bobby Deol. She also received the filmfare award for the best villain for her performance in the film Gupt.

Kajol did well in comedy films like Ishq opposite Ajay Devgan, whom she married later on. She played the role of the friend of Juhi Chawla and got involved into incidents with Ajay Devgan and Juhi Chawla. Kajol did well opposite Sanjay Dutt in the film Dushman.

After the fading away of Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla from the bollywood industry, Kajol got the maximum number of chances in big productions. After marriage with Ajay Devgan, she reduced the number of films. She made a comeback but could not maintain the success rate as she did in the past.

The viewers are looking forward to better performances from Kajol in future as many people feel that she still has lot of acting left in her.

Reema Sen in Golmaal and Phir Hera Pheri.

Reema Sen in Golmaal and Phir Hera Pheri.

Comedy films in the last few years have allowed the unsuccessful actresses to get recognition through the group effort. Golmaal was one of the hit films where Reema Sen got a scope of performing opposite Ajay Devgan, Tushar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and others.

Tushar Kapoor played the role of a dumb character who could not express himself. All the four friends took shelter in Paresh Rawal’s house as he was blind and thought them to be their grandson. Reema Sen was their neighbor and was liked by the all the four friends. She initially showed irritation about the actors but later one got impressed with their skills.

Each of the friends including Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, hatched up plans to impress Riya Sen in one way or the other sometimes by winning racing car competition or dancing competition, etc. At the end of the film Reema Sen married Tushar Kapoor to everyone’s surprise. The songs “golmaal” became successful.

Reema Sen got a witty role in the film Phir Hera Pheri. She had an affair with Akshay Kumar and got involved in the hera pheri to return the money to be given to the underworld gang. Sunil Shetty got involved with Bipasha Basu, who played the role of a fraud character who promised to get the money of private persons being doubled, and ran away with the money to pay the debts of few wrongdoers.

Reema Sen and Bipasha Basu played a key role when all the characters in the film assembled in a circus to get the diamonds hidden in the place. All the actors including Milind Gunaji, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, etc., did a great job in the circus scene. The acrobatic acts in the circus done by Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty entertained the viewers and the film ended up being successful.

Both the films Golmaal and Phir Hera Pheri had impressed the viewers to such an extent that the sequels of the films are under production at the moment. Reema Sen probably got the greatest success in those films (which were related to group effort), but her actual test lies in the films where she can act independently.

The viewers expect Reema Sen to show her unique style in new films to create her separate identity and contribute well in bollywood films.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Ajay Devgan on 2nd April, 2009. He had contributed a lot in bollywood films in the last 20 years. He started his career with the superhit film Phool Aur Kaante.

As his father Veeru Devgan had a great background of training actors for action sequences and Ajay Devgan started his career with the latent quality of an action hero. The action sequences in Phool Aur Kaante were excellent. Also the music of the film became hit with songs like “premi pagal awara”, “tumko milne ko dil karta hai”, etc., sung by Kumar Shanu and Alka Yagnik, which were picturized on Ajay Devgan and Madhu.

The other successful films of Ajay Devgan include Ishq, Dilwale, Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, etc. In Ishq, he acted with Amir Khan, Juhi Chawla and Kajol, and contributed well in the comedy sequences of the film. The film was based on the story of affairs between rich and poor people and the fathers of Juhi Chawla and Ajay Devgan never wanted to get their children married to poor people. The music of the film was very successful with songs like “ishq hua”, “humko tumse pyar hai”, etc.

Ajay Devgan also acted in very serious films like Raincoat opposite Aishwarya Rai, which was directed by Rituporno Ghosh, Zakhm, Gangaajal , etc. He had created an identity of a reserve actor and that image helped him in getting landmark roles for the last 10 years. His other successful films include Golmaal and Golmaal Returns.

In both Golmaal and Golmaal Returns Ajay Devgan acted with other comedians like Arshad Warsi and Tushaar Kapoor and maintained the rhythm of the film. Tushar Kapoor played the role of a deaf and dumb character in the film and at the end of the film got the job, the girl for marriage, as against the interests of his other friends.

Ajay Devgan married successful actress Kajol and both had acted together in a number of films like Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, Ishq, You, Me and Hum, etc., most of which were successful. Even Ajay Devgan’s role of a ghost in the film Kaal opposite Lara Dutta, John Abraham and others were well appreciated by viewers. His performance in patriotic roles like that of Shahid Bhagat Singh also requires special mention.

The viewers expect Ajay Devgan to continue his good work both as an actor and also producer, director in the years to come.
