Sham Shanti Om

A film historian finds that Om Shanti Om is hardly the tribute to 1970s Bollywood it claims to be. By SMM AUSAJA

As the year was wrapped up, we were told that Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om has trounced Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya at the turnstiles, to emerge as “the biggest grosser ever in the history of Indian cinema”. Modesty, even in seventies, existed I’m sure. When I say ‘we were told’, it’s what the publicity managers want us to believe.

Partner:Baradwaj’s review

Is it Do you want a Partner or Do you want to Partner?

TEAM ENGINE

Powered by the Salman Khan-Govinda duo in good form, this madcap comedy chugs along merrily for the most part.

JULY 22, 2007 - SALMAN KHAN isn’t always the easiest of actors to watch, but given a certain kind of director (such as David Dhawan) and given a certain kind of movie (such as Partner), you cannot imagine anyone else carrying off moments such as the one in which he – all sad and alone after being dumped by his single-mom girlfriend – consoles himself with that most depression-proof of foods, ice cream. He’s seated in front of a photograph of the mother and son, and at some point, he extends to them a spoonful of what he’s digging into. “Sitaphal flavour,” he adds helpfully, as if that would make all the difference in their decision to step out of the frame and share his misery (along with his dessert). It’s such a cartoonish scenario, and Salman carries it off beautifully – possibly because, in an earlier scene, dressed in a canary yellow Tweety Bird T-shirt (with a cap to match) and bright orange track pants, he looks nothing so much as a cartoon himself. (And I mean this as a sincere compliment.) The only other leading man (okay, one-time leading man) capable of committing himself so completely to this kind of lunacy is, of course, Govinda – and the two of them have a high old time in this reworking of Hitch. Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif (both looking terrific) are the supposed love interests, but let’s not kid ourselves here about the pairing that Partner is really about. It’s Salman Khan and Govinda.

Of Federer. fans, FANAA and films
Monday, July 09, 2007

Super match. Am a real admirer of Federer. Love the focus and passion with which he plays. I find that when I watch him play I feel inspired to do better work, … though it has no connection,,, I dont know how to explain it. And he has no extra posturing and no silly attempts to do stuff to grab attention. He just does his thing and goes away. What a guy!

I want you’ll to know that I read each and every post no matter how long it takes me. I dont know how long it will be possible for me to keep this up but so far I’m on top of it. I’d like to thank those of you who have been so generous in your praise of my work. It makes me so happy to feel your warmth and affection. It is truly encouraging. And some of the posts are so well written, and convey so much so well. Am absorbing everything.
