Shah Rukh Khan: From Chak De India to Om Shanti Om

NEW DELHI,INDIA

Yes, Shah Rukh Khan is at its pinnacle of his profession – acting. His movies are blockbusters in the box office. His name makes people to throng the cineplexes. And he has been doing the same from his first movie Deewana, to the recently released movie Chak De India.

In the 90’s Shah Rukh Khan was ruling the roost. Almost all his movies in the 90’s: Deewana, Baazigar, Darr, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Karan Arjun,
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Koyla, Pardes, Dil To Pagal Hai
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Baadshah
– made him the star, an undiminished star of the bollywood. He conquest the bollywood and in the same stroke conquest the overseas market as well, by becoming the most saleable actor.

Who can forget his performance in the movies Baazigar, Darr, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Koyla, Pardes, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. These films left an indelible mark in the history of bollywood.

He has cast the same magic in the 2000 year plus. He has got many feathers in his cap, and the latest from his coterie of hit movie is Chak De India, which he thinks helped him to establish his name in the cult status of the bollywood actors and actresses. He himself said he was waiting for such movie to be made.

Coming to the 21st century first decade he has given many hit films from Mohabbatein,
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Devdas, Chalte Chalte, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer-Zaara, Swades, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Don - The Chase Begins Again,
to Chak De India, released this year. His each movie is skating new heights. And about his forthcoming movie Om Shanti Om, let us see in comparison to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Sawariya, what magic the movie play in the box office and meet the expectation of the critics as well as from his fan followings. It has to be seen.

It is not that his journey to the status that he has gained was achieved in a day or two. Behind this, his innate talent, never-say-die attitude, and of course competition-with-himself has been some factors that has come to play in his success. If you think there are more reasons that made him the Baazigar of the bollywood, do comment.

Let us see how Shah Rukh Khan tackles the trasition from Chak De India to Om Shanti Om!

Who is more handsome: Shah Rukh Khan or Ranbir Kapoor?

NEW DELHI,INDIA

On the same date Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om and Ranbir Kapoor’s Sawariya is releasing. The producers and directors have given their best shot to keep it floating in the media. You walk past in the Delhi Metro Stations[in the blog]; you will find advertisements of these movies. You open any website; you will be bombarded with these two movies.

Stakes are high in both the movies. After all one is from Shah Rukh Khan and another is form Sanjay Leela Bansali’s debunte actor Ranbir Kapoor, son of Rishi Kapoor. Shah Rukh Khan’s izzat is on stake after the success of Chak De India! He has to prove that he is not one-movie actor.

And about Ranbir Kapoor, I suppose he is more tensed than the Baazigar. It is his first movie. For him, it is a sail or sink situation.

Many would be thinking, or would have started thinking the future of Ranbir Kapoor, comparing with him with Shah Rukh Khan. Who is more handsome, Shah Rukh Khan or Ranbir Kapoor?

One cannot predict the future of Shah Rukh Khan especially at the time when he is giving one hit after another. He is a great gun of the bollywood. His kingship cannot be challenged at this time.

But the charm in his face is dissolving. He is no more the same cutie Shah Rukh Khan of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. In contrast, Ranbir Kapoor has the same cutie looks. He is handsome but comparing him with Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge actor is somewhat done in hurry.

Given that he is handsome than the Chak De India coach, it is not necessary that he will run in the bollywood. Since bollywood have seen many actors who were really cutie in look but they were failure. The list is long. Aashiqui boy Rahul Roy, Kumar Gaurav are case in point. Sometimes a good look of an actor or actress is disadvantageous to them.

But there lies an exception to every rule; Aamir Khan is one, who has matured with his baby face to macho look. Who can forget his first movie Qayamat Se Qayamant Tak opposite Juhi Chawla.

Taking without any bias, and putting weigh, let us see whose movie is more handsome than the other in the market and win the applause of the audience. Handsome is as handsome does!

First Chak De India, Second Om Shanti Om

NEW DELHI,INDIA

After Chak De India, where does Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om stand?

That’s a big question. Indeed a very tough question to give a satisfactory answer. Shah Rukh Khan’s previous flick Chak De India![in this blog]attained a cult status in the Hindi film industry, a voluminous film industry where thousands of films are released in a year. In this messy film industry the film Chad De India has made a history of its own, moreover Shah Rukh Khan’s history as well. Shah Rukh Khan got what he was craving for in his whole professional career.

Now, his upcoming movie is Om Shanti Om. His fans, not to mention are impatiently waiting for its release. They do have a mountain of expectation from the movie, and from the Shahrukh Khan’s role.

Their expectation can vanish like fog disappears, if they do not see something extra from Shahrukh Khan. It would be tough on the part of the actor to stand to this expectation.

After Koyla, Om Shanti Om would be his next movie which is based on reincarnation formula, but it has a tinge of 70’s time period. So, people would be seeing the colour and texture of this period when Jeetender, Rajesh Khanna and Dev Anand were ruling the film fraternity and the hearts of the youngsters.

If Shah Rukh Khan can sail through the tsunami of emotions of his fans that they expect from him, he can definitely be called Baajigar, the Badshah, Chamatkar, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, and what not. O! He may be called Om!

Om Shanti Om: Constellation of Stars

NEW DELHI,INDIA

In the movie Om Shanti Om, 31 actors and actresses of the bollywood are sharing the same set and camera in the title song – Om Shanti Om. The actors and actress are not only of the present day like Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Tabu, etc but of the yesteryears like Jeetender, Mithun Chakroborty[in this blog], Dharmendra, and many, all put in one song. It would be fun to see all these heroes and heroines of the bollywood.

What on the earth is making the song interesting and amusing? Of course, to see all these actors and actresses performing their own style for which they are know. Jeetender’s jungle type of dance, Mithun’s Disco style, Govinda’s Mein to Raate Ja Raha Tha style, and Dharmendra’s no movement dance.

Its making was really funny. And I suppose the song in the movie Om Shanti Om would be really full of fun and energy. What are you expecting from the movie and from the particular song? Do comment. Well, I would love to see Mithunda’s dance.

Madhuri Dixit appearing in Aaja Nachle

NEW DELHI,INDIA

The magic of Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit will be again hit the cinema screen after 6 years of oblivion from the Hindi film fraternity. In the movie Aaja Nachle, the Tezaab girl is showing her appearance; and people, especially her fans are eagerly waiting for its release.

The movie Aaja Nachle is coming with bunch of stars alongside with Madhuri Dixit. They are Akshaye Khanna, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Kunal Kapoor. It has to be seen how people react to this movie and to her beauty. But one thing is sure the movie will get good opening all across the nation since in a entertainment-hungry country there exists a big fan following of the actress. They will definitely throng the cinema halls to watch her.

Last time people saw her in the movie Devdas, playng the role of Chandramukhi. Her role opposite Shah Rauk Khan begged the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. She dominated the Hindi film industry since her first "hit" film Tezaab opposite Anil Kapoor, that was in 1988. If one goes through her career statistics, she has been truly dominating the movie industry, in that industry where the life span of heroines are much shorter than their actors. From her first movie Abodh, released in early 80's to her previous movie Devdas, released in 2002; she has acquired an iconic status where, it is believed, no actress has since been able to replace her, her magical spell.

She has got many feathers in her cap to boast off, from the movie Tezaab, to Ram Lakhan, to Beta; adding to it Khalnayak, Pukar and the most recent Devdas in her long list of hit movies. She got married to Sriram Nene in the year 1999 and got settled in United States. Who can forget her role in the movie "Dil" opposite Aamir Khan, “Saajan” against Salman Khan and “Hum Aapke Hain Kaun”, the blockbuster movie!

Now, the same Madhuri Dixit who has ruled in the hearts of millions of youngsters will be again hit the silver screen playing the role of a theatre actress in Aaja Nachle under the banner of Yash Raj Films. A million dollar question that is in everyone's mind is - Can she able to spell the same magic, revert the same dancing steps?

Delhi Metro:No Bumps, No Jolts, Ride with a Pride

By Pranati Saikia, NEW DELHI,INDIA


Indian Railway is the life line of India and so is the Delhi Metro Rail in
the capital city.

I was high spirited with a pleasant mood all the way to my destination. No bumps, no jolts, ride with a pride. Just be relax with a with a smile on your face. It was wonderful feeling I went through. My first ride in high speed Delhi Metro Train made me feel hi-fi.



Delhi Metro Train has made travelling in itself a beautiful journey, easy and comfortable. Entering into the clean and cosy metro station with tight security make you feel safe and secure. In the entrance hall of the station , security personnel check every passengers and carried luggage, thoroughly to avert any kind of terrorist attack.


AFC gates are also being located in the hall. They are designed to detect passengers while walking through. They have to show their token or smart cards at the gate by standing on yellow line marked near the gate. These token are easily available in the ticket counters and cards could be obtained at customer care centre. Fares are affordable for every common man.

The most striking feature that makes the internal ambience of delhi metro more impressive and distinguished is the presence of escalators to facilitate passengers by saving their time and to avoid probable accidents due to hurried movements in the staircases. Nevertheless broad staircases are also there beside the escalators to further support heavy rushes of people especially at office hours. Riding on escalators is also advantageous for elderly people and physically challenged people.


The platforms which are situated underground are equally comfy without any filth around. As soon as you stepped inside the platform, you will forget your tireness and scorching heat of outside station. AC equipped platforms will sooth every stress of yours and tranquilize your mood. No sooner you reach the platform, the beautiful and magnificently built metro train is ready at your service to make you more pleasant with its high-speed and by providing comfortable ride.


Wide doors of the coaches allow easy movements of the passengers while getting inside and outside the train. The spacious and wide coaches well furnished with large benches like seats give you comfortable travelling. Availble space makes you easy while standing also. There is a small screan at the top of steel wall inside every coach where important safety guidelines scrolls one by one besides their announcements.


These include name of the station and other related information as well. With a view to keep the internal environment safe and clean, drinking, eating and smoking are prohibited inside the train and in the metro area. At every station, trains stops for 20 seconds. And it comes after every 4 minutes.


Delhi metro station has different routes to various destinations . Some of these routes are underground and few are above the land. The journey in metro station becomes more alluring when the train runs above the land as you could view the entire city of monuments beautifully. The whole landscape make you enchanted. If you think it touches the entire delhi, it is not so. It is in records that the metro network will be touching each and every part of delhi before 2010. Any new visitor would find necessary information about the network like delhi metro network map in the station itself.


The whole management of delhi metro rail corporation makes you alert as a passenger and responsible as a citizen who ought to abide by certain rules to enjoy a safe ride. The people behind this project has done incredible job in providing accessible and smooth journey to common man.

The changing face of Bollywood movie publicity

NEW DELHI,INDIA

In recent times it has become a trend in television to showcase the songs of a to-be launched movie in many musical programmes. The contestants participating in the so called talent search programmes sings the movie's songs; by doing so they not only popularise the songs in the midst of their fan followings but helps in the promoted-publicity of the movie.

It has become a necessity on the part of the directors or say producers to give maximum publicity through this programmes, since it has a direct impact on the drawing rooms all across the nation, even abroad. If one goes through all the musical programmes, dance programmes, or in any sort of contestants- driven shows, there is a flurry of sponsored edition in that particular show.

In these shows, the publicity of the movie takes place in a very entertaining manner. The truth is that at the bottom of this special edition that are being telecasted comes dynamics of the market, the much luring market driving these shows.

Depending upon the TRP rate of a programme, it is being approched strategically. So, in those shows where the TRP rate of a programme is high, and carry a whirlwind impact, one would see not only the actors and actresses showing their presence but the whole team being present there. A case in point is the programme Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, a music driven show in the Zee TV where recently the whole team of the movie Das Khahaniyan were present from the director to the actors and actresses, and to the singers.

It was a much subtle publicity stunt to discuss about the movie and what the movie is all about. Their presence in the show builds up a direct publicity amongst the viewers of the show. Here the publicity is mutual. The show not only boasts of the presence of the actors and actresses, but they capture a much bigger audience. On the other hand, the particular movie gets no cost publicity to a larger audience.

Not to forget, the communities that cropped up in the social networking site like Orkut before the movie hits cineplex. This media also helps to gauge where the public is swaying. Thus, giving invaluable inputs to the success and a failure of a movie. You name a movie, any upcoming movie, you will find there exists a community being coined to the movie.

Bollywood is maturing, and so is its publicity tactics.

Amanat Ali : a Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestent rocks India

He is Amanat Ali, a contestant of the Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa musical show, who with his song Tujhase Naaraaz Nahi Zindagi (available in esnips.com)from the movie Masoom not only brought tears in the eyes of the all the judges and guest stars present there in the show, but in the eyes of all television viewers. His soulful song absolutely mesmerized everybody.

No doubt, all the singers in the last leg of the show - Aneek Dhar, Amanat Ali, and Raja Hasan are best of the best and carry a mass fan following. All about Amanat Ali is totally different and unique. Not to forget Tushar Sinha was also in the competition.

His last song in the show Tujhase Naaraaz Nahi Zindagi came as a break in the flow of the show. It had a drifting effect. The colour of the show totally changed after he sang the song. One can say he infused life in the song. It is a different story the song itself is heart touching and it relates to everyone's life, but singing the song maintaining the credibility is not everyone's cup of tea. Singer like Mika tried the song taking the opportune time in the show, but he miserably failed to mesmerize the audience, not only of the viewers but also of the whole team of Das Kahanaiyan movie.

Amanat, a ardent fan of Shah Rukh Khan, cried while he was singing the song. And it was felt by all the viewers sitting in front of the their TV set. The finishing touch he gave to the end leg of the show cannot be better than the way he finished.

Music doesn't have any boundary, and Amanat Ali from Pakistan has proved the same. When he sings people forget the tag of nationality he carries. People just forget everything. Now when the programme has entered into the declaration of the winner. It doesn't matter who wins in the musical show, whether the title holder is from India or from the other side of the fence. They all are talented in their singing trait.

Lyrics of Tujhase Naaraaz Nahi Zindagi [courtesy yash.wordpress.com]
tujhase naaraaz nahi zindagi, hairaan hoon main
o hairaan hoon main
tere masoom savalon se pareshaan hooN main
o pareshaan hoon main

jeene ke liye socha hi na tha, dard sambhalane honge
muskuraoon to, muskurane ke karz utaarne honge
muskuraoon kabhi to lagata hai
jaise hontonn pe karz rakhaa hai
tujhase …

aaj agar bhar ayi hai, boondein baras jaayengi
kal kya pata inke liye aakhen taras jayengi
jaane kahan gum kahan khoya
ek aansu chhupake rakha tha
tujhase …

zindagi tere gum ne hamain rishte naye samajhaye
mile jo hamain dhoop main mile chhaanv ke thande saaye

o tujhase …

Are we safe in Delhi Blueline buses?

By Pranati Saikia, NEW DELHI,INDIA

Crying faces, bleeding bodies, heart rending wails echoed Delhi sky once again on Sunday morning. This time the mishap took place on Mathura Road in Badarpur, near Aligaon crossing. The killer Blueline again created havoc by ramming into 15 people waiting for bus on the pavement. It caused death to 7 people and left few seriously injured and many panic stricken. It is alleged that the driver was drunk. He lost control and hit people standing on the road.

What’s going on? It is not the first time when such rash driving and irresponsibility robbed people of their lives. These series of accidents are not just matter of concern but taking the form of hovering fear of death. Who knows who will be the next victim? Whether one will get back home safely or not, cause boarding and deboarding Blueline buses itself becoming fear of invisible death, making boarders victim of cruel destiny, without one’s awareness.

Buses are one of those amenities which are meant for people’s convenience but these accidents have brought forth the gruesome pictures of human error, negligence of moral duty and ignorance. Consequently, now buses are gradually becoming danger to human lives.

Drivers and conductors often seem to be short-tempered, excited and indulge in speed competition with one another, apply sudden brakes to the buses and make passengers to suffer due to their whimsical and careless driving.

Delhi government has taken few concrete steps to stop these accidents. But still these life taking incidents are happenings.

It is important that the driving hands must be experienced. The man on the driving seat must be balanced, careful and vigil towards his duty as a driver. Driver and conductor must have friendly approach and moral behavior besides having professional ethics. Sufficient time must be given to passengers while boarding and deboarding the bus, so that they could be well settled.

On the other hand, traffic rules are being set to be followed but these accidents have implied clearly that rules are being violated by the Blueline buses. Moreover, speed-governors have also been tempered with by most of the buses. In this context, the government must take strict action against these violations. Deployment of PCR vans are not only the solution. The intentional crimes must be awarded with capital punishment as these killing people.

We people also ought to be conscious of our rights as passengers and pedestrians.

What Rahul Gandhi's life has in store?

By Pranati Saikia, NEW DELHI,INDIA

At a time when left’s tough stand on nuclear deal is creating political havoc for center’s UPA government, congress president Sonia Gandhi took a decisive step in latest reshuffle of the party’s organization. However, this assessed to be a preparation for looming mid-term polls.

In this much-awaited reshuffle, she elevated her son, Rahul Gandhi to a congress post by appointing him as the AICC general secretary in charge of the Youth Congress and NSUI and member of the congress working committee. This significant development has an important implication for both, 37 year old Rahul’s future prospects as a politician and the congress as party as well.

In his first interview with foreign media, Rahul regarded himself as uniter of the country and expressed his commitment to fight against divisive politics based on caste and religion. His recent induction into the organization of the party is an opportunity for him to groom his lacklustre image into a sharp, refined national level congress leader who can not win just electoral victory but also a nation’s trust.

His induction also signifies that the old congress party, though lately has started believing on the potential of younger generation leaders who have power of youth, freshness of ideals and strong ambitions. Rahul seems to represent a generation that could bring back remarkable political achievements to the party.

Nevertheless, it is indispensable for Rahul to emerge as a young leader having own individual stature of goodwill and strength. He has to transcend the boundary of inherited political legacy.

On the other hand, congress has to retrieve back its initial position of being India’s single most dominant political party that laid the foundation of the democratic political system in the developing world. During country’s freedom struggle, it represented nationalist cause to unite a heterogeneous society of people.

It is regretful that now party has lost its idealism and innovation. Gradually due to dissidence and defection, it lost its intra-party democracy and cohesion. These loopholes have to be dealt with mellowness. Induction of Rahul Gandhi could be regarded as renovation of party’s organization in a sense that it could help overcoming old deficiencies and generating new constituencies having new voters below 30 and appreciate Rahul as a young national leader to represent them, their aspirations wishes.

On the other hand, party has to extend its organization across the whole nation and down to the village level. For this purpose, Rahul has to work extensively with sincerity by visiting remote areas too, where people have lot of problems unsolved. Is Rahul Gandhi hearing?

What is LIfe?

By Pranati Saikia, NEW DELHI,INDIA

Life starts with a cry; it ends with a sigh; we go on striving until we die.



It all started when I stepped into this world from my mother’s womb. Oblivious of my prenatal existence, I sought to memorise my mother’s face, my father’s voice and whoever came near me to take me in their arms to cuddle me and to make me smile.


Gradually, I toddled behind my mother’s walk. Holding things with my tiny hands, my steps firmed with steadiness and affirmation of my individual existence, having separate being and a strife to survive. With the passage of time, I strived to be something and often in those heavy moments, my heart asks self with a silent heave “What is life”?

It embraces us ever since we took birth and made us holding it tight as if it loves us. It captivates us and we move to its times, dancing, singing, crying, passing through trials and tribulation to accomplish it. Its magical illusions cast spell on our wisdom and made us addicted and intoxicated. Soon we forget our real self rather we forget life also in its real sense.

Nevertheless we all love it, for life makes us alive. Despite of its dreary courses and enervating strife, life is precious with all its raw beauty and profound mystery. One cannot deny, however, human life today witnessing plight of being standing at the verge of existence. Materialism has given birth to commercialization which has made man a commodity and human life a market.

Consequently, competition and professionalism has given rise to market value and utility. All these together devaluate the divine essence of humanity. Modern human society is the blending of complexities and amenities. Man is bewitched with ever-increasing allures of materialism. Though he has made immense progress by means of science and technology, his life has become mechanical. His constant pursuit of material comforts has made somewhere his life suffocated.

It is time that man has two entities humanity and animality Gathering both entities, he leaves no stone unturned to be the survivor. Often, in his strife, he makes random and blind moves, diabolism over-possessed his humanity and he inflicts pains upon his fellowmen. Yet he feels pride to be the killer of humanism just for his own benefits and motives.

Heinous crimes, blood shedding, rampant corruption, hypocrisy, inhuman manifestations, and deceptions have made human life bleeding to death. Nature has made everyone unique and no one can take the position of other. But, we human beings are prejudiced and biased. We favour differentiation and disparities on the base of caste, creed, religion and even region too.

Life is God’s gift. It is all-pervasive and never-ceasing. Ideas and philosophies mould life. Actions and deeds interpret life. We live it with desires, passions, dreams and aspirations. We work hard and make efforts to materialize our dreams but we ought to understand, life is wayward, flows in its own course. Ultimately it leaves us alone to seek it all again. It is short but we have to make it large by compassion and love, cause love makes life colurful, beautiful and blissful, not the materials for which we kill ourselves and our humanity.
