One and half crore for a single scene in JUGAAD
Sandeep Kapur wants the audience to experience the same feelings and emotions that he felt when the Muncipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) ceiling took place in Delhi in which he was also one of the victims. And just guess the money that this man has flown around to do justice to his feelings looking exactly like how he wants them to be seen on screen. A staggering one and a half crore is the amount used for the producer of the forthcoming film 'Jugaad' starring Manoj Bhajpai in the lead role tells a story of a successful CEO of an advertising agency whose office is demolished and how he has to restart his life again with the burden of finding a new place for his agency looming over the future of his company as well fighting the feelings of his employees to move on to other companies. The efforts of the protagonist played by Manoj Bhajpai to influence the MCD officials with his connections that goes without reaching anywhere and how he tries to make his life again colourful makes up 'Jugaad'. The reason why the producer is pumping up this big an amount is because Sanddep Kapur does not want even one of the frames in his pet project to lack the perfect feeling and look artificial and also due to the fact that the film is based on his own experience, he do not want to compromise on anything. One of the other reasons for the cost to go to such an extent is because the whole scenario which prevailed in the actual demolition drive had to be brought alive again to give the scene the look of an actual demolition drive. So the film's unit used five cameras, three bulldozers, a crowd of more than 500 people, the numerous labourers employed for the purpose, around hundred policemen complete with the horde of media personalities of the channels and their live broadcasting vans. The scene which was recreated in Noida instead of Delhi utilized the services of five action directors flown in from Mumbai. The director of the film Anand Kumar gave his own contribution to give the perfect edge to make it as realistic as possible. After finding that the scene being canned can do better if a little more real life action can be included into it and a good crowd standing on the roofs, the film maker asked the labourers to really break the boundary wall of a building. The director got exactly what he wanted when lots of ladies came out and stood on the roofs and more people came out making the assembled crowd bigger. The people believed that the municipal office has really come for a demolition drive and they got furious and shouted and created a typical real life situation which consists of reactions and the oppositions when such an incident takes place. All the required frames direct from life were absorbed using the five cameras and the unit got what they needed the most. Other cast members of 'Juggad' includes Hrishita Bhatt, Vijay Raz, Sanjay Mishra, Govind Namdeo and Akshat Kumar. With a real life experience to back up, a dedicated financer and a great performer like Manoj Bhajpai in the lead role, a great movie can be expected soon.

CORPORATE - First film in second half of a successful 2006
First half of 2006 has ended on an exciting note with numerous back to back money spinners. A year that saw its biggest success in the form of 'Rang De Basanti' has been progressing smooth with hits like 'Fanaa', 'Phir Hera Pheri' and now 'Krrish'. No wonder expectations from second half are gargantuan, especially in the wake of at least 10 biggies in the pipeline, headed by KANK, Salaam-E-Ishq, Don, Dhoom-II and Jaaneman! But this is not all as there are some medium budget films as well that have all the potential to create an impact at the box office. CORPORATE is one such film that arrives this Friday and holds the baton for being the first release of the second half of 2006. A Madhur Bhandarkar film always carries great expectations and CORPORATE is no different with a good publicity campaign supporting its journey and overall positive vibes it has been generating for the cine lovers. The film should embark to a decent beginning, at least in the metros and just like 'Page 3' should be able to expand its wings in the interiors if it turns out to be genuinely well made resulting in positive word of mouth!
Baabul sank because of the second half, says Salman Khan
The world knows that Salman Khan recently posed with husband of ex-flame Sangeeta Bijlani Mohammad Azharuddin. During the same visit a fan asked him as to what he had to say about both his big films of 2006, 'Jaaneman' and 'Baabul' didn't set the cash registers jingling. 'I agree 'Jaaneman' was my film and it bombed, but 'Baabul' sank because of the second half,' he quipped tongue-in-cheek. As is well known, Salman dies at the end of the first half and John Abraham takes over the proceedings (somewhat) in the second half. The critics and the audience alike loved Salman in the film. Obviously Khan is leaving no chance to take a jibe at Abraham with whom he has had a fall-out last year during stage shows abroad.
