More news →Guruprasad Puts His Own Cutout!
Director turned actor Guruprasad has created a record of sorts through his new film 'Directors Special'. Usually, the cutouts of the stars will be put outside the theatre to attract the audience. But Triveni theatre in which 'Directors Special' is screening welcomes the audience with Guruprasad's cutout. Yes, 'Directors Special' opened in Triveni and other theatres across Karnataka on Friday morning. When the audience went to Triveni for the morning show, they were surprised to see Guruprasad's cutout welcoming them. Normally the cutouts of artistes are displayed in theatres, but 'Directors Special' doesn't boast of any stars. The only known faces in the film are Rangayana Raghu and Guruprasad. Though Rangayana Raghu has been highlighted in the posters of the film, it is Guruprasad's cutout that gets all the limelight.
Guruprasad Challenge In Eradane Sala
Actor-writer-director Guruprasad of 'Mata and 'Eddelu Manjunatha' fame has challenged that he will finish his fourth film 'Eredane Sala' soon and will release the film as soon as possible. After the debacle of 'Directors Special', Guruprasad is directing a film called 'Eradane Sala' for producer Yogeesh Narayan who had earlier produced 'Modala Sala' starring Yash and Bhama in lead roles. The film is likely to start soon and Guruprasad he will finish the film soon. 'I know my previous films got delayed. But the delays are purely because of my prior commitments and nothing else. This time, even before the agreement I have said Yogeesh that it will be finished in a stipulated time and I will keep my word this time' said Guruprasad. After three comedies, Guruprasad this time is making a love story for the very first time and says this will be the first of its kind in Indian cinema and nobody has attempted a story like this before.
GURU music hits the stands on 18th November
Music of GURU was released in a star studded event in Mumbai 2 days back but one would have to wait for another few days before catching hold of the th CDs. This is because these would be made available only on 18th November. Prior to that 'Guru' mobile downloads will be available though. Music of 'Guru' is much awaited this winter since it brings together the inimitable jodi of Mani Ratnam and A.R. Rahman. With Gulzar's pen doing all the talking, it is touted to be a much engaging score. 'Guru' stars Abhishek Bahchcan, Mithun Chakravarthy, Aishwarya Rai, Madhavan and Vidya Balan in the lead while Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal, Chitra, Madhushree, A R Rahman and Bappi Lahiri have been roped in for singing.
Guru Promo is a spellbinding Experience
Villager'Visionary'.Winner'.The master is back. And he is back to his supremely different ways. To his credit, the muse sparkles brilliantly as if clay turning into a priceless mural. The promo of Mani Rathnam's 'Guru' is a spellbinding experience that leaves you stunned. For it is a treatise in transition from a simple villager taking pleasure in honking a school bell, climbing the temple stairs to an ambitious businessman who enthuses his workers to dream of becoming the biggest private company of India. Abhishek Bachchan is looking stunningly real. The childish scampering of youth merges with the confidence of an entrepreneur conjuring big plans. Eyes of eagle can envisage the consequential future while making tough manipulative decisions. There's a changing graph in his body language for it is apparent that he put on weight for the part when he is shown to have grown in years. His comfortable stance with Aishwariya Rai is palpable. A R Rahman's goose-pimple-evoking background score creates an unmistakable aura of its own. In other words, 'Guru' seems to be an amazingly promising film from whatever one can make from the sixty second promo that captures moods and has minimal dialogues. I guess, it's going to be another landmark film in Abhishek Bachchan's career.
Guru, Kabul Express and Anwar clashWhile the clash of the movies 'Guru' and 'Bhagam Bhag' been averted, there is a clash of a different kind that would be witnessed this weekend.
While the clash of the movies 'Guru' and 'Bhagam Bhag' been averted, there is a clash of a different kind that would be witnessed this weekend. This is a clash between the music of 'Guru,' 'Kabul Express' and 'Anwar,' each of which have arrived on the stands this weekend. While Guru is a true magnum opus due to the coming together of Mani Ratnam and A.R.Rehman, 'Kabul Express' is big too, as it comes from the house of Yash Raj Films and boasts of some situational tracks along with instrumentals and theme pieces. With such mighty competition, 'Anwar' as a movie is obviously much smaller in scale but it may just turn out to be a dark horse when it comes to music, since it has 'Tere Bin' [Bas Ek Pal] composer Mithoon at the helm. It will be interesting to see how the sales proceedings of the three albums look, before the end of next week!
Guru - Finally a worthy comeback for Mithun Chakraborty
In the month of January, it will be 2 years since Mithun Chakraborty made his comeback with 'Elaan'. Not to mention that it turned out to be pretty damp squib in the end. The film flopped and though he had a decent hit in the form of 'Lucky-No Time For Love', his was the poorest etched role in the Salman Khan-Sneha Ullal starrer. Playing the role of a 'guru' in both 'Classic-Dance Of Love' and 'Chingaari' didn't help either as the films were commercial disasters though he did come for some critical appreciation in the latter. Acting in small time films like 'Sun Zarra' and 'Kachchi Sadak' were just not worthy enough and though there were sparks of vintage Mithunda in Aditya Dutt's 'Dil Diya Hai' a few months back, it was still not good enough. Now all eyes are set in Mani Ratnam's 'Guru' which releases on January 12th (exactly 2 years after 'Elaan' which came on January 14th 2005). The film appears to be the first ever which would be truly utilizing Mithun's potential as he plays the role of Manikdas Guptha a.k.a Nanaji. Nananji is shown to be a veteran who runs a newspaper called Swathantra and is highly impressed with the kind of fire that he could feel within the character played by Abhishek Bachchan i.e. Guru. In spite of knowing Guru as a young lad whose walk towards his destination seemed too fast, he attributed it to his young blood. But later when he was made aware about Guru's so-called evil ways, he wanted to fight and destroy him. A showoff that indeed sounds highly promising, one keenly anticipates the release of the film.
