JTW’s analysis of the Oscars 2013 – Lincoln

The 85th Academy Awards (colloquially known as the Oscars) concluded on February 24, 2013 at the lavish Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, marking the end to the highly-publicized awards season and to the intense lobbying that marks the pre-Oscars period. And as is the case with every year’s edition, the 2013 Oscars witnessed their share of expected wins and surprises (both pleasant and unpleasant). So here’s my recap of this year’s Oscar-nominated films. NG members may or may not have seen these films; for those who haven’t, consider this as a recommendation/warning against the said films.

NOTE : I have not seen all the Oscar-nominated films, and will give my views only on those which I have seen.

SRK and not Aamir – 1st Indian actor to be featured on Time

It was a huge feat for Aamir Khan. After all, getting featured on the cover page of a reputed and international magazine like Time  is not just another achievement. The piece of info was widely publicized by the Indian media along with the fact that Aamir Khan is the first Indian actor to be featured on the magazine cover.

However, this doesn’t seem to be the truth. Fans of Shah Rukh Khan have exposed the fact that SRK had already made it to Time cover page and that too in 2004, way before Aamir! So why is it that newspapers, websites and other media portals are spreading lies? Is it a case of incorrect information? Herd mentality? Or an instance of what is popularly called ‘paid media’? If yes, then by whom?

Where do Bollywood stars rank globally on popularity?

It is not an uphill challenge to find out the most popular actors in India, especially Bollywood. For nearly two decades, The Hindi film industry has been ruled by the ‘three Khans’ – Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. Of the same age, the three stars took different routes to stardom in their own style and manner.

They are still the most sought after, arguably the highest paid and most popular stars in India, at least the Hindi film industry. Starcount, the leading social media aggregator of networks confirms that the three stars are indeed the most popular on social media(Twitter, Facebook and others) as well.Not much separates the three, with Shah Rukh leading Salman and Aamir by a whisker.

The question is where do they rank globally in the most popular actors list. How do they compare with the heavyweights in the West and Asian stars on socialmedia?

Is BLUE sequel, titled ASMAAN, finalized?

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE

I’d like to appease all Akshay fans and say that I am NOT writing this to degrade or negate Akshay in any way. Some news about a sequel suddenly popped up, so I thought I’ll write this post. Content in this is taken from several sources; for all I know, it MAY NOT be true at all, a sequel may not be happening. PLEASE STAY CALM. Treat this as a news report.

______________________________________________________________

Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision reportedly spent over 80 crore on Blue. Now the producers are getting set to shell out for the film’s sequel, despite the poor performance of the film. Akshay Kumar titled the sequel Asmaan, making it his third title suggestion after Heyy Babyy and Singh Is Kinng. The cast of Blue – Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan and Lara Dutta – will be repeated in the new film, with probably the addition of another hero. The director has confirmed that his good friends John Abraham and Sonal Chauhan have already being signed for the project; he also said that it will be a three-hero film.

Finicky Salman knows best (EK THA TIGER update)

Salman Khan

When Salman Khan acts in a film, he wants to get it made the way in the way he likes it best. And that is the reason why he made major changes in the script of Ek Tha Tiger. Even though the script was fine when Salman first heard of it, he did a lot of improvisation on the sets.

“Earlier I would keep quiet thinking people would call me an interfering actor and I didn’t want to feel that way. But then I realized that if it is in the best interest of the film then why not. I don’t care what people say anymore,” Salman said.

Salman has asked for some major changes in the script to be shot in the next schedule of the film. So the Hong Kong schedule of the shoot has been postponed to April so that Aditya Chopra can return from London ans it with Salman to work on the changes suggested by him.

TALAASH – Postponement Analysis

By now it is really not news that the much-anticipated Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor-Rani Mukherji starrer Talaash has witnessed a sudden and unpleasantly surprising five-month delay. The Internet is buzzing with disappointment and rumors of possible reasons of such a long delay. Here, I attempt to make sense of what is inevitably going to be a chaotic situation now. I shall discuss possible reasons and effects of this move. Finally, we have to ask ourselves the question: Was this delay a part of good judgement or a serious error that can cost dearly?

Back-story

Talaash is an eagerly-anticipated film starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji in the lead roles. From what has been reported by reliable sources, Aamir plays the role of a senior police officer investigating the strange and dark death of a famous film star. On his journey, as he is is “Talaash” of the truth, he meets different people of seemingly impossible connections all tied down to one bizarre and scary secret.

Initially expected for a much earlier release, Talaash got pushed back to June 1, 2012 as the supposed start of the blockbuster season.

JOHN CARTER: Is it really doomed?

(GUYS, Please see this post. Do not let this go away fast. I worked very hard on this one, so I would like people to read it and see it. Not like last time when most people ditched my posts LOL )

Poster

Okay I know I’m taking a rather non-event kind of film. Alright, I am taking a film that doesn’t have anybody great to speak about. But frankly, I am amazed and baffled at the sort of negativity that has spread for the film weeks before release. And all this comes without anybody having actually seen the film yet. Huh, at least now I know that the practice of advance negativity is not limited just to Bollywood with all its fan-crazy factions.

But – just look guys. I have absolutely no idea why even I’m so defensive about the film, but I feel that I can do my bit by giving an analysis of the film in detail. Please bear with me.

NG FILM SURVEY – 1

This is the first in a (hopefully) series of NG-wide surveys regarding upcoming Bollywood films. Basically, this is nothing but an opinion poll and we NGians are going to put out our predictions for some films and see what sort of buzz and expectations are there for the films, in a small scale. I’ll also brief everyone a bit about the films. NOTE:- This opinion poll is only about nearby releases, and three releases will be taken up at a time. The listing is by release date.

Okay, here are the rules :-

* Please be civil and constructive here; DO NOT engage in unnecessary fan wars.

* Be neutral and honest; over-exaggerating and increasing expectations can lead to future disappointment.

My Top 10 Horror Movies Of All Time

I have been a fan of Horror movies since very young age. It was around the age of 12-13 that I started the likings for this genre. I have been watching many Hindi horror movies since then especially those made by Ramsay Brothers. Movies like Khuni Murda, Darwaaza, Khandar, Insaan Bana Shaitan etc. have been reasons for me getting scared and enjoying it at the same time.

As I became old I understood that how poorly these movies were made. The concept used to be fantastic but the execution and performance with those B Grade actors made me laugh at those movies during my early 20s.I used to think how poorly this genre has been handled in Indian Film Industry, though there was never a dearth of good story. In my quest for good horror movies I started look into more recent ones but alas I was disappointed. Only Raaz was one well made horror movie in decades. Hence, due to lack of better horror movies I began looking for some English horror movies with reference of some of my friends in personal life and of course some of friends on NG I now own a good set of number of horror movies (thanks to the Weekly Movie Thread by Ihab).
