Oscars AWARDS 2009 -'Slumdog' is the big winner


The most electrifying performance of the Oscar night came from none other than A R Rahman who took the stage and sang his two nominated songs from Slumdog Millionaire .



Just moments before he stepped on stage with the microphone, the prodigious composer created history by becoming the first Indian music composer to win an Oscar for his music in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Dressed in a black bandhgala (a traditional Indian outfit), Rahman even cracked a popular dialogue from Hindi films – ‘Mere Paas Maa Hai’ – (I have mother) to thank his mother and quipped a quick thanks to God in Tamil.



Then he dashed backstage and re-appeared moments later to perform his songs ‘O Saya’ and ‘Jai Ho’ with a troupe of dancers. Rahman himself sang the numbers and left the audiences thrilled with his scintillating performance.

As the double treat, his won his second Oscar of the night for “Jai Ho” that has lyrics by Gulzar . In his acceptance speech, Rahman thanked his entire crew and added in the end: “In my life I have had to choose between love and hate. I chose love and I am here today.”

The whole Kodak Theatre reverberated with applause. Back home in India, a billion hearts erupted with joy. “Jai Ho,” Rahman.

Billu Barber


Starring: Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Shahrukh Khan,Rajpal Yadav, Om Puri, Asrani
Music by Pritam
Directed by Priyadarshan
Produced by Gauri Khan
Running time 128 min


The first part of the movie was a little over the top in some comic scenes and a bit of a drag. The movie moved to a tolerable status just before the intermission and onwards.

It started with a cheeky letter asking for a loan. Whether Billu was just a simple man or a smart alec wasn’t clearly defined. After all the characters in the village Budhbudhe were introduced it too abruptly shifted to some spaceship kinda setting and SRK was introduced as the star Sahir Khan with an item number one.

Billu (Irrfan Khan) is a hairdresser (trying to be politically correct) in the sleepy village Budhbudhe. His business is in a bad state owing to the entry of Modern Madan. He is the butt of all jokes, his wife (Lara Dutta) is dissatisfied and the kids have a smart mouth. But life goes on until Sahir Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) and his entourage comes to the village for a shoot.
Don’t understand why the people greet the movie star by throwing papers at him and was surprised to see that the roads in the village were so much better and nicely tarred than the ones here in the city.

News spreads that Sahir (who wears really flashy jackets) is Billu’s buddy and he is put on a pedestal and when his attempts at meeting with Sahir goes nowhere, he is derided. Then we have the men crying - Billu for the humiliation and Sahir reminiscing about his good old friend.
Then Billu goes back on the pedestal yet again and both friends have a very emotional reunion. Bring out the hankies!!

SRK goes one step further and takes a dig at the whole Khan wars when pushed by the obnoxious Dubeyji.
It’s an okay watch if you have some company and food at hand as the movie doesn’t really absorb you too deeply.

Bollywood Movie Dev D - Reviews


Cast:Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin, Mahi Gill, Dibyendu Bhattacharya
Assistant Director:Vasan Bala, Anand Vijayraj Singh Tomar
Cinematographer:Rajeev Ravi
Story Writer:Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap
Producer:Ronnie Screwvala
Banner:UTV SPOT BOY
Music Director:Amit Trivedi
Playback Singer:Aditi Sharma, Amit Trivedi, Shilpa Rao, Shruti Pathak, Labh Janjua Lyricist:Mani , Amitabh Bhattacharya
Director:Anurag Kashyap



Toast to this new age Dev. D , folks! For it makes the pitiable protagonist of Sarat Chandra’s ‘Devdas’ somewhat likeable. It never ceases to amaze me that Devdas has caught the fancy of so many filmmakers. A loser in love who drinks himself to destruction hardly makes an appealing figure to me. What rather evokes interest is this drunkard’s journey through the two women in his life – Paro and Chandramukhi.

who makes the ultimate compromise and, so to speak, “moves on with life”, is the image of a woman resigned to her fate. Chandramukhi, the courtesan who keeps pain hidden beneath her smiles, is the image of a woman who loves her man but won’t tie him down. It’s not incidental that this platonic quality is to be found in a character that’s intrinsically sensual. In these intriguing personas does the appeal of Sarat Chandra’s story truly lies, and not in its dumped, drunken and drugged Devdas.

But in ‘Dev D’, Anurag Kashyap gives Devdas a new spin. The director improvises upon Sarat Chandra’s work by not just giving the story a modern setting but also by taking liberties – adding his own interpretations or perspective in the edgeways, plucking out real scandals from newspaper headlines and planting them seamlessly into the plot and, above all, choosing an optimistic ending. For, at the end of the bottle, there ought to be hope and not death. The strength of ‘Dev D’ lies in Kashyap’s telling. He doesn’t sweep the sexual attraction between Dev and Paro under the carpet. So here we have Paro ( Mahi Gill ) clicking her own topless picture and mailing it to Dev ( Abhay Deol ) who, right after seeing it, overcomes his indecision of returning back from London to Punjab to his childhood crush. In ‘Dev D’,

it’s the egos of Dev and Paro, and not solely the misunderstanding between the two, that spell doom for their love. And better fleshed out than Paro’s is Chanda’s character ( Kalki Koechlin ). A school girl who becomes an embarrassment for her parents after an MMS sex scandal, she takes to the life of a prostitute who eventually falls in love with a man drowning his pain in Vodka. From the mustard fields of Punjab to dingy rooms of Pahar Ganj unravels the story of the self-destructive hero who re-discovers love after hitting the rock bottom of his life. Kashyap deserves a toast for brewing an old wine masterfully in new bottle. But what ‘Dev D’ lacks is emotional appeal. It is too much of head and too little of heart. Save for a touching moment when Chanda asks Dev if he still loves Paro, there’s hardly anything that tugs at your heart. And that’s the most notable shortcoming of ‘Dev D’. It tells an emotional story intellectually.

Performances in the film are top notch. Abhay Deol is turning out to be quite a revelation. He hardly hams or overacts. Nor is he as muted and underplayed as he otherwise is. His is a balanced performance. Mahi Gill has the intoxicating eyes that can make a guy kick the bottle. On top of it, she acts wonderfully. Kalki does impressively fine for a newcomer. With its crispy, witty and straight-out-of-life dialogues, ‘Dev D’ gives a new hue and tone to ‘Devdas’. And the dozen or more songs that play out in the background during the course of the film give ‘Dev D’ the feel of a musical. The cinematography is mind boggling at times. The music is catchy. Alas, if only the film worked on your heart as much as it does on your head. But then, it’s far from being the emotional atyachar that No Smoking was. Rating: ****
