Sajid Khan, the tv host show, turned actor, turned director comes up with his first full length movie. Hey baby is a story of three single Indian guys living in Sydney. The motto of their life is to have fun and sleep with new girls ever night. One day someone drops a baby at their door with a note that reads “Kameenay now take care of your baby”. None of them knows exactly who is the father of the baby so they decide to find out. This leads them to find out all the girls they slept with during last two years.
Akshay Kumar plays the role of Arush, with his trademark comic style. Akshay Kumar is fun and since the first sequel of Hera Pheri we have seen him many times doing similar roles and delivering his dialogues in the same style. Akshay needs to learn how to add variety to his comic style. Akshay is teamed up with Ritesh Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. Well Ritesh Deshmukh is one hell of talented actor and fardeen is not all that bad at all. So the team necessary for a hilarious comedy was near to perfect. What went wrong then? Well, actually the plot of the movie had several loop holes. Not only the plot but the script wasn’t perfect too. However the actors tried to fill the gap with the best of their performances. But it was quite evident that the director didn’t knew what he was doing. Sajid Khan definitely wanted us to laugh and yes we did but at the same time he kept us waiting for some interesting aspects, twists or wicked surprises in the movie and it was really very annoying when no such thing came out during the whole length of the film.
The film also had many guest appearances. There were several popular hot bollywood actresses in one song and Shahrukh Khan appeared in one song of the movie. but their appearances were not adding up to the excitement level since we already knew that Shahrukh Khan has a guest appearance in the movie. The movie is fun to watch but you may not want to see it again. They music was not chart busting but some songs were nice, specially Mast Kalandar and Dholna were good numbers.

There were rumors in media when Salman Khan spent three days in the jail last time and the girlfriend Katrina Kaif didn’t cancel her filming schedule. But this time, Katrina decided to leave no room for rumors and visited Salman Khan in the jail. Accompanied by Salman Khan’s sister Alvira and brother Arbaaz Khan. Unlike all ex girlfriends of Salman, Katrina has proved that she is closer to Salman’s family. Katrina’s visit has once again sparked gossips that she and Salman are going to get married. Even though Katrina and Salman’s family didn’t give any comments to media about their visit. But it was noticed that Katrina was looking sad, she was wearing a white kurta with jeans.
Salman Khan was jailed for hunting down an endangered Chinkara deer in the forests of Rajhistan. Salman Khan has had some serious legal troubles during last ten years. On September 28, 2002 he was arrested for rash and negligent driving. He was under the influence of alcohol and his car veered onto a sidewalk outside a bakery in Mumbai. One person who was sleeping on the sidewalk died and three others were injured. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped. However, some legal action in this case appears to be on-going. The Chinkara Hunting case begun in February 2006 when Salman Khan was sentenced to one year imprisonment. Since then Salman has appealed in several courts. Right now his lawyers are trying to get him released on bail.
While Salman is spending sleepless nights in jail the Indian public is debating about Salman being trapped in the case because he is a Muslim. This is a common practice in India where people try to paint things in religious, ethnic and caste system backgrounds. Some people try to get themselves political benefits while other just love to dive in to prove something or the other completely forgetting that the real people behind the issue are human beings with emotions of their own.

Chakde India, is a story to remind the nation of its national sport. Highly anticipated movie starring none other than the King of all Khans, Shahrukh.
Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is newly appionted coach of India’s national women’s hockey team. A former captain of the Indian hockey team, now forgotten, it is Kabir Khan’s chance to get himself, his country and his team to the winning stand, once again. But this time all he gets is a bunch of girls who do not really believe in playing for the glory, victory and the country. He has a team that lacks the spirit. Shahrukh Khan’s job is to shake them to wake up the winning spirit. The girls however have their own interests. They are more into government job, salaries and flats. Shahrukh Khan motivates them to look beyond these ordinary things and to play the game for pride, glory and victory.
Following the trend of Lagaan and Iqbal, Chak De India is a movie about sport. But unlike the previous two movies Chak De India is not based on Cricket. As the tag line of the movie says, it is a story to remind the nation of its national sport, hockey. Chak De India is different not only in the sense that it is based on a sport that is nearly forgotten in India but also in the sense that it shows women in the sport field. The girls hockey makes the movie a lot more interesting. The story is realistic and it shows just how the girl’s national hockey team feels and gives the audience a good understanding of why the real indian girl’s hockey team is not doing well. A good movie is the one that provokes a thought in the minds of the viewers. Chak De India brings some serious issues and gives the people a chance to think about these issues. For example it gives you a reason to think and understand the reasons behind India’s backwardness in the feild of sports, even when it is world’s second largest population. The movie also shows you the Indian attitude towards women who like to break the social barriers and enjoy sports. Chak de India does all that while keeping the audience entertained and thrilled.
Being the King of Indian entertainment industry Shahrukh Khan brings life to the role of Kabir Khan. Kabir Khan is a man who has lost, and knows exactly what it means when you losse a match and the chance to the victory stand, glory and pride. He is the newly appointed coach of the Indian women’s hockey team. A team that has lost matches and the passion for the game long ago. They are together for the reasons of their own and none of these reasons is pride or victory. Kabir Khan brings them to understanding themselves and reminding them that it is about winning. Shahrukh Khan has done really great in his role. The girls are all new comers and it was the first time they were ever appearing in a major bollywood film. But you can see it clearly that how the director has used their reluctance and shyness to beautifully showcase the bad bad girls. The movie has a very tight script that follows wonderful story. You know since the beginning that eventually Kabir would succeed to achieve the victory but how he does that is what keeps you interested throughout the movie. And ofcourse you would love the girls and would love to see them evolve from a bunch of outcasts into a winning team.
Composed by Salim Merchant and Suleman Merchant, the music of Chak de India is just as sporty as the movie. Jaideep Sahni has done a wonderful job writing lyrics for the movie. Considering that writing these lyrics was not as simple as writing songs for an average hindi movie. The songs of Chak de India had to fit the emotions of a lossing hockey team that wants to break the lossing into winning. It had to be loud, bold, cheerful and glorious. I think that the merchant brothers and Jaideep Sahni has accomplished the goal. However, I don’t think that the songs would be memorable for years but they fit perfectly in the movie.
Ek Hockey Dongi Rakh Ke is my favorite of all the songs in the album. It shows the spirit of girls in the battlefield with a loud and bold tone. ‘Bad bad girls’ is yet another song symbolizing the bold bad girls. With a loud urban rhythym, bad bad girls is an average indie-pop kind of song with faster beats. Chak De India the title song of the movie is the main anthem of the hockey team. It has the inspirational, emotional tone that reminds the team that they are in the ground for something more precious than just a hockey match. Sukhwinder Singh with his loud cheerful voice was the perfect choice to perform the song.

Sanjay Dutt is a movie star who has lived a life worth filming. He was a young and talentless actor, a drug addict, son of two legendary actors of Indian film industry. Fame and wealth were nothing new to Sanjay Dutt when he entered the film industry. He is among those lucky people who always have friends and family supporting them all the time. He is so lucky that millions of people who only know him from his movies are organizing campaigns to support him.
He started his film career with a small role as a child star in his father’s movie ‘Reshma aur Shera‘. He became a drug addict when he was in the high school. His mother, the legendary Indian actress Nargis Dutt was diagnosed cancer. She died few weeks before the release of Sanjay Dutt’s first movie ‘Rocky‘. Sanjay Dutt loved her mother very much, it was really very difficult for him to face a media that was making up stories about Sanjay’s drug addiction and how it worsened Nargis Dutt’s cancer. His first movie Rocky didn’t get him any praise from the critics.
Next year (1982) he appeared in Subhash Ghai’s ‘Vidhaata‘, it was the first major hit in his career but all the praise was stolen by the legendary actor Dilip Kumar who played the role of Sanjay’s grand father in the movie and Subhash Ghai the director of the movie. Sanjay’s acting skills were quite horrible at that time but still he was one of the most famous young actors. Subhash Ghai wanted to sign Sanjay for his next movie ‘Hero’, but he signed Jackie Sheroff instead. The reason was Sanjay’s drug addiction.
He lost his mother, media was blaming him for worsening his mother’s health, he was criticized as an actor even after two hit movies in a row. Sanjay was heartbroken and became more addicted to drugs. His father sent him to rehabilitation center in Miami, USA. On the completion of the rehabilitation program, a sober, more talented and more professional Sanjay returned home and restarted his career.
Sanjay married Richa Sharma in 1987 and became father of a baby girl Trishala. Richa was diagnosed cancer soon after the birth of Trishala. The couple got separated and Richa went away to the USA to live with her parents. In 1996 Richa died due to the brain tumor and Sanjay had a bitter courtroom battle with his in-laws over the custody of his child Trishala. Sanjay Dutt lost the battle and Trishala still lives in the USA with her mother’s family. However, Sanjay Dutt has a very good relationship with his daughter.
During the late eighties and early nineties Sanjay performed lead roles in several successful movies including Naam 1986, Haathyar 1989. He was praised (probably for the first time) by critics for his role in Sadak and Saajan both released in 1991. But it was Subhash Ghai’s ‘Khalnayak’ (1993) that gave his career a much needed boost. Khalnayak was not only a huge success at the box office, it also introduced some new trends to the Hindi film industry.
Sanjay Dutt was arrested in April 1993 on charges of keeping illegal weapon that were provided to him by the bombay bomb blast master mind and mafia don Abu Salem. He spent more than 18 months in Jail after being released on bail. During this time he recieved huge support from friends, family, bollywood film fraternity and millions of fans from all over the world.
On 31 July 2007 Sanjay Dutt was sentenced to six years imprisonment. He has filed an appeal in the Supreme court and is now taking the Gandhi Darshan classes in the Pune Jail. Once again Sanjay Dutt recieves huge support from the fans, film industry and his family. Lucky isn’t he?
