Tare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par, reissued as Like Stars on Earth for Disney's international DVD in 2009/2010, is a 2007 Indian drama film about a dyslexic child. It is directed and produced by Aamir Khan, and stars Darsheel Safary as eight-year-old Ishaan and Khan as his art teacher. Creative Director and writer Amole Gupte initially developed the idea with his wife Deepa Bhatia, who served as the film's editor. Visual effects are by Tata Elxsi's Visual Computing Labs.
The film explores the life and imagination of eight-year-old Ishaan. Although he excels in art, his poor academic performance leads his parents to send him to a boarding school. Ishaan's new art teacher (Aamir Khan) suspects that he is dyslexic and helps him to overcome his disability. The film made its theatrical debut in India on 21 December 2007, and UTV Home Entertainment released a DVD for Indian audiences in 2008. Disney's later release of the international edition DVD marked the first purchase of distribution rights for an Indian film by a global company.
Taare Zameen Par has received numerous awards, including the Filmfare Best Film Award for 2008 and the 2008 National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare. It was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film, and the film's failure to progress to the nominations short list sparked a debate about why no Indian film has ever won an Academy Award. Media outlets made comparisons between Taare Zameen Par and the British drama Slumdog Millionaire, which won several Academy Awards that same year.

It influenced many parents like me to be more sensitive to the child. It was awesome movie.

Interesting facts

1. The name Nikumbh, given to Aamir's character, was the name of Amole Gupte's (the creative director and the writer of this film) art teacher, the late Shri R. S. Nikumbh, who was also the principal of the Hansraj Morarji Public School.

2. Darsheel Safary, the 11-year-old star of the film, is a part of Shiamak Davar's dance troupe. During one of the classes, he saw a poster that read, "Hunting for a naughty kid. If you're selected, you will get a chance to act with Aamir Khan." He thought that it would be great if he was able the film. During the same class, Amole Gupte spotted him and asked him to go for an audition. Eventually, he got selected
3. Aamir Khan has not directed the entire film. Ad film-maker Ram Madhvani (who directed Boman Irani Hinglish starrer Let's Talk (2002)) has directed the song Bheja Kum in the film. The song was shot in a school in Panchgani. This is duly credited at the beginning of the end credits of the movie.
4. Aamir Khan took special permission from Amitabh Bachchan to use Abhishek Bachchan's example in this film. The reference is made in terms of Abhishek being one of the most successful stars and how he has created "Dhoom", overcoming the reading difficulties that he had during childhood (dyslexia).
5. Renowned mathematician shakuntala Devi accused the makers of taare zameen par of stealing ideas from her book "The wonderland of Numbers" by not giving her any credit. She now plans to make a film on her own based on the book.
6. Aamir Khan was greatly loved and adored by all the child artistes in the film. So much was he idolised that all the 43 children at the New Era School in Panchgani (where they shot) wanted to sport his kind of hairstyle. An indulgent Aamir went to the extent of turning hairstylist and actually gave them their desired cut.A spokesman for the film also noted that, "Aamir took great care of the kids. He hired five experts to draw up their schedules, diet and recreational activities.
7. Amir khan refused to start the shooting till he found the right child to play Ishan`s role of a dyslexic child. They even looked at the kids in Shyamak Dawar`s summer workshop.They auditioned a lot of school children until they found Darsheel,who had a mischievious look....Sure enough he played his character so well.
8. Ram Madhvani has directed the song Bheja Kum. While this song was getting shot Aamir and kids were shooting for the song Bum Bum Bole.

Munnabhai MBBS

Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. is a 2003 Indian comedy directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The story involves protagonist Munna Bhai (Sanjay Dutt), a goon, going to medical school. He is helped by his sidekick, Circuit (Arshad Warsi). It stars Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Jimmy Shergill, Sunil Dutt, Gracy Singh and Boman Irani.
More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munna_Bhai_M.B.B.S.

This movie was full of natural comedy, lot of emotions and nice story. Every actor has played their role with full extent and passion.Boman irani was fabulous in his first movie. Arshad warsi has made Circuit character immortal. He was kind of Hanuman for Munna Bhai (Sanjay dutt) in whole movie. All songs were too good. I liked wonderful acting of Gracy singh. I noticed later that each character of the movie got famous and played bigger roles in subsequent Bollywood movies i.e. Boman, Arshad, nawazuddin etc.
I love to see again and again the sequence related to one old uncle who was fond of carom game. I cried to see the final scene when Munnabhai made him eat the food after playing a carom game with him. He stopped eating food due to boredom and munnabhai started playing carom near to his hospital bed. He came to play the game and won the game. He ate food happily. This is very common scenario in our society and we keep ignoring the senior citizens.

Interesting facts:
1. Arshad's character was initially called Khujli, which was changed to Circuit on his suggestion and it became immensely popular
2. Casting for the lead role went through several process. First it was given to Shahrukh Khan, but he declined due to his neck injury, then it was offered to Vivek Oberoi. Finally the producers casted Jimmy Shergill for the part, but they later interchanged his role with Sanjay Dutt who was cast as the patient 'Zaheer'.
3. The original choice for Circuit was Makrand Deshpande
4. Intially Boman Irani turned down the role in Munnabhai M.B.B.S initially when Vidhu Vinod Chopra told him the script and was told that Shahrukh is playing the lead. But due to dates problem Shahrukh could not able to do the film and VVC shelved the project. But when Sanjay Dutt Is agreed for the film and he VVC again offered the role to Boman Irani he agreed and was was very happy for the same.

Agneepath (Amitabh Bachchan)

Hello Everybody,
Finally got some time today to update the blog :-)
I am fan of movie Agneepath. I consider this best movie of Amitabh bachchan. Superb story, superb acting by Amitabh, Mithun, Danny.
I have seen this movie at least 10 times (most viewed movie). Usually I don't see movie twice.
Amitabh was on his best from beginning to end. Danny was superb and was able to face Amitabh in movie. Mithun also impressed with his different kind of role

This movie was produced by dharma production and Karan johar's father Yash johar. Unfortunately movie was not hit because Amitabh bachchan's voice was different. Later movie was released with original voice of Amitabh which again could not fetch good money.

Karan Johar had presented the re-make of movie with hrithik rohan as hero. Movie has earned more than 100 crore which was his tribute to his father. But re-make has not impressed me at all. Old agneepath stays very close to my heart :-)

4. Link for movie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jibrG5b-IpU
5. Rekha was the original choice for Bindiya's role. But Hrishida later thought that her glamour would negate the excellent comedy script.

5. Dina Pathak actually went through the bathroom window in the scene, though she got stuck for a while due to her high heels.

6. Amol Palekar would make faces at Bindiya behind the camera during the shooting of 'Aanewala Pal' thereby making it difficult for her to put on a serious face when the camera faced her.

Story (Taken from Wikipedia with Thanx)
Ramprasad Dashrathprasad Sharma (Amol Palekar) is looking for a better paying job. He and his sister Ratna (Manju Singh) have no relatives or acquaintances except Dr. Kedar (David). Dr.Kedar tells him about Bhavani Shankar's (Utpal Dutt) firm known as Urmila Traders. Shankar is a man of traditional values, hence he naturally hates youth wearing modern clothes. He is a sports fan, but thinks lowly of youth knowing anything about sports. But his most weird trait is hatred towards men without moustaches. He thinks that men without moustaches are characterless.
Ramprasad has a moustache. He takes care of other problems by wearing kurta & feigning ignorance about sports. Bhavani hires him immediately. Ram is a hardworking guy, so Bhavani (& Ram) have no problems. However, Ram once takes leave by pretending that his mother (who died many years ago) has taken ill, and goes to watch a hockey match. Bhavani Shankar, who also attended the match, sees him there.
The next day Bhavani summons Ramprasad to his office and asks him about the Hockey match. Remembering the plot of a movie a friend of his is shooting, Ram convinces Bhavani Shankar that he had seen his "moustache-less" identical twin Lucky (alias Lakshmanprasad Dashrathprasad Sharma) at the stadium.
Bhavani Shankar buys his argument & feels bad about accusing him and decides to make amends by hiring Lucky to teach his daughter Urmila (Bindiya Goswami) music. Ramprasad reluctantly shaves his moustache to become Lucky and starts to teach music to Urmila. He is helped by his actor friend Deven Verma (playing himself).
Now Urmila aka Urmi is the exact opposite of her father. She takes immediate liking to Lucky, while Ram is barely noticed by her. Bhavani notices this & gives Ram another job to tutor on the pretext of her exams. Meanwhile, Mrs. Srivastav (Dina Pathak), a socialite, is roped to play the part of Ram, "Lakshman" & Ratna's mother. Like Ram, she also ends up playing her own twin in front of Bhavani.
Ram decides to tell Urmila the truth. Urmila tells him to tell the truth to Bhavani as well. Ram goes to Bhavani to tell the truth, but Bhavani sees Ram's moustache giving away. Bhavani exposes Ram, but ends up thinking that Lucky murdered Ram & impersonated him to marry Urmila.
In a hilarious chase that follows, Bhavani ends up totalling a police jeep. The Senior Inspector (Om Prakash) mistakes him for a thug named Pascal D'Costa & is about to lock him up in the jail. Only when his Inspector identifies Bhavani Shankar by his real identity is he freed. By now, a harried Bhavani has developed hatred for twin as well.
On coming home, he finds that Urmila & Lucky are married. He refuses to give them blessings, until Dr.Kedar comes to the scene & explains the whole situation. Now, Bhavani becomes even more furious, but on everybody's insistence, relents. The film ends with a family photo of Mrs.Srivastav, Ratna, Urmila, Ram, Dr.Kedar, Bhavani's sister Kalindi (Shubha Khote) & Bhavani (who is shown without moustache).
