Mahi Gill’s hot scenes make Ramu uncomfortable

Ram Gopal Varma is not really a man of niceties but while shooting a torrid lovemaking scene between actors Mahi Gill and Deepak Dobriyal for his film Not A Love Story, a different side of the filmmaker came to the fore.
Believe it or not, but Ram Gopal Varma, felt shy and even sorry after the lovemaking scenes were shot. So much so that he shot off a “sorry” sms to Mahi Gill.
“Ramuji was very apologetic about the love making sequences...I had to reassure him it was fine,” Mahi Gill is quoted as saying in a media report.
Mahi Gill went on to add that she was surprised to see this side of Ramu as a “quiet, withdrawn and a shy person”.
Ram Gopal Varma admits that he was uncomfortable during the shoot as the lovemaking scene is very intense and has three long kisses between Deepak and Mahi.
Not A Love Story is inspired from the Neeraj Grover murder case and Mahi Gill plays the character modelled on Maria Susairaj.

Singham - Movie Review

he ApunKaChoice movie review of Singham. Half way through director Rohit Shetty’s Singham, it strikes you why Indian films haven’t had many superheroes a la Superman, Batman and Spiderman. We don’t need them. Our regular heroes do the needful. The likes of Rajinikanth, Salman Khan -- and now add Ajay Devgan to the list -- are adept at superhuman feats like flicking a cigarette in the air and lighting it with a bullet (of all things), or bashing up a truckload of baddies without getting as much as a scratch on their goggles. Needless to say that all these stunts are punctuated by gravity-defying leaps and hops so incredible as to leave both the trampoline manufacturers and physicists alike in a tizzy. The bottom line is: we proudly anoint brute force at the altar of credulity. And director Rohit Shetty’s movie Singham, starring Ajay Devgan, is a typical example of it.
Normally, expecting sense, sensibility and subtlety from a Rohit Shetty film is to make yourself a butt of his jokes, but with Singham -- an action flick where the hero is dead serious while the villain leaves you doubled-up with laughs -- you do expect a tittle of the three S. All you get instead is a mix of style, spunk and savagery, attractively packaged in a palimpsest bearing Dabangg traces.
The protagonist Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgan) is the cop, the jury and the executioner all rolled into one brawny body. On the beat through the dusty alleys of the sleepy village Shivgad, he imparts justice as he deems fit. He’s honest and fearless. A showdown with a dreaded Goan ganglord Jaykant Shikre (Prakash Raj) puts Singham on Shikre’s hitlist. What follows is Singham’s transfer from Shivgad to Goa, Shikre’s home turf, where Shikre, in his own words, is a shikari out to hunt down Singham. Will Singham cop out against the all powerful enemy or will he grab the bull by the horns?
The movie pretty much follows the good-versus-bad template to a T, with long ‘conscience-invoking’ monologues thrown in to add some corn to the otherwise spunky affair. There’s also a nod to vigilante justice where cops take turns to kick a corrupt politician’s butt, and a long corny monologue by Devgn before the fag end makes you wonder if Shetty was switching from action to comedy.
Ah! There’s also a tepid love story between Singham and a Goan girl Kavya (Kajal Aggarwal), who tragically enjoys lesser footage than even the old and cynic constable (Ashok Saraf). And then there’s also a divine justice angle given through a sidetrack about an honest cop who committed suicide after being falsely implicated by the evil Shikre.
Which brings us to perhaps the only rave of this review. Prakash Raj. Never since Amrish Puri’s dramatics as the bald Mogambo has one enjoyed villainy so much as in the badmen played by Prakash Raj, be it in Wanted or Bbuddah - Hoga Terra Baap or Singham. It’s villainy with a comic streak and kudos to Prakash for pulling it off repeatedly.
More than anything, Singham is a collage of Devgn’s brawns. The swarthy star does stunts galore and takes off his shirt on at least two occasions (but don’t rejoice, ladies, for unlike Salman in Dabangg this cop wears a vest). The stunts have Rohit Shetty written all over them. The car crashes and car topples are aplenty but nothing beats one stunt where Devgan steps out of a skidding car to shoot at a baddie.
All in all, Singham is a brash celebration of brute force. If you wanna watch Ajay Devgn decimating a dozen fellows singlehandedly without ruining even the crease of his trousers, Singham is the film for you. If you get goose pimples by the sight of cars flying like wingless aircrafts, Singham is the film for you. And though Ajay Devgn is surely good as Singham, Prakash Raj is the real Kingham.

'Murder 2' rocks the box office

he Bhatts’ latest presentation Murder 2 is rocking the box office despite mixed reviews and the repetitive slag of being plagiarized.
The movie raked in a very good collection in its opening weekend. It took off on Friday on a positive note with a collection of a little over Rs 7 crores. The Saturday was equally good though there was a slight dip to Rs 6.5 crores. On Sunday the figure notched up to Rs. 8.75 crores. Summing it up, the weekend collection of the film is more than Rs 22 crores, which is second best to Salman Khan’s film Ready.
The Bhatts are obviously having the last laugh despite all the flak the film got for being a copy of the Korean film ‘The Chaser’.
In comparison, Salman Khan’s first production Chillar Party fared just average. The film had a listless start on Friday with a paltry collection of Rs. 45 lakh. On Saturday the figure went up to Rs. 1.10 crore and sloped to 1.60 crore on Sunday. However, the film has got critical praise. 

Meanwhile, Delhi Belly has emerged a SUPERHIT with a collection of Rs. 48.75 crore nett in its ten-day run at the box office.
The coming Friday would see the release of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara which is expected to fetch a good opening at the box office.


Complaint filed against 'Delhi Belly'

Delhi Belly continues to remain in the news, for both reasons good and bad. While the film’s still trotting strong at box office, it’s producer Aamir Khan and director Abhinay Deo have been taken to court for depiction of “obscenity” in the film.
Farah Ayaz Ghani, reportedly an event manager and a small time film producer, filed a complaint on July 8 in suburban Bandra Court against producers -- Aamir Khan, his wife Kiran Rao and Ronnie Screwvala -- director Abhinay Deo and writer Akshat Verma under various sections of IPC.
The filmmakers have been charged under IPC sections 292 (obscenity) and 295 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.
Magistrate Vasant Patil has fixed July 27 for recording statement of the complainant, her lawyer Prashant Pansare told a news agency.
Ghani alleged that vulgar and foul language was been used in the film. Moreover, she says a scene depicting the character conducting a robbery while clad in a burqa insults the religious sentiments of minority community
