More news →ROCK ON better than DIL CHAHTA HAI?
Farhan Akhtar is looking a million bucks in 'Rock On'. Some who have seen the rushes of the film, went to the extent of saying that this Abhishek Kapoor directed film is much better than the earlier Farhan Akhtar directed 'Dil Chahta Hai'. When Farhan heard this, he actually took it as a compliment as this is the first time the audiences will be judging him as an actor. And if people find 'Rock On' better than 'DCH', it only says a lot for the actor in the maker. Three cheers to that. Rock on, Farhan, rock on.
Dil Diya Hai - yet another comeback for Mithun?
Would 'Dil Diya Hai' finally turn out to be a comeback flick for Mithun Chakravorty? Ever since Mithun announced his arrival to mainstream Bollywood projects with Vikram Bhatt's 'Elaan', there have been number of movies that have come and gone but either his act hasn't been appreciated much or the film has been a commercial disaster. While 'Elaan' turned out to be a box office disappointment, his next 'Classic - Dance Of Love' was completely ignored. His role in 'Lucky - No Time For Love' was poorly written though the film was a success whereas he was hailed in 'Chingaari' but the film had a quick death at the theatres. 'Sun Zarra' was his next release but except for the people associated with the film, no one was even aware about the film's existence. Now he would be seen soon in 'Dil Diya Hai' that is directed by Aaditya Dutt who made 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' a year back. One hopes that this comeback proves to be fruitful for Mithun as he joins hands with youngsters Emraan Hashmi, Ashmit Patel and debutant Geeta Basra. His next big release would be Mani Ratnam's 'Guru'.
