Check out the latest pictures of Dharama Prouduction Karan Johar’s We Are Family.
We bring to you first poster of Karan johar’s remake of Stepmom -We Are Family, starring Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal.
This is a sly tongue firmly and stubbornly in cheek, slick and chic comedy about a loser, or a panauti – a word that recurs ad nauseum in this glorious gasbag of giggles, winks, nudges and innuendos packaged with such polished panache that you don’t really care what the inter-relations in the parodic plot finally signify.
Maybe they signify nothing more than a numbing but pleasantly diverting nothingness. But who the heck cares, as long as the tumble of confusions generates a hilarious havoc.
“Housefull”, as the title suggests, is chockful of characters who bump into one another and into hard surfaces (including the unresolved edges in the plot) without injury. It’s all done in ricocheting rhythms of laughter that rises from the pit of the plot’s belly and moves upwards towards us, sometimes missing its target.
More than the screenplay (Milap Zaveri, Sajid Khan, Vibha Singh) which moves helter-skelter in every direction away from the centre of the plot and just about succeeds in coming to a reasonably coherent conclusion, it is the bevy of characters who are positioned in the screenplay with a supreme sense of pyramidal aptness.
Every actor shines because he or she knows the idea is to have fun and to transmit that fun to the audience. It’s the actors’ responsibility to make the maze of inter-relations hold together. They succeed.
Yes, sometimes the actors seem to enjoy the comedy of energetic error more than we do. Beyond a point how many slap-happy slipping-on-the-floor nudge-nudge-wink-wink oops-we-did-it-again rolling of the eyes biting-of-the-tongue jokes can we take?? (more…)
Mumbai, Actor Arjun Rampal, who did a series of ads for the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 with his ‘Housefull’ co-stars, says the film industry doesn’t need cricket to promote films and that they help each other to create awareness.
‘We don’t need cricket to promote films. Cricket and film are two huge entertaining industries. Cricket is a religion in India and film industry, I believe, is the only form of entertainment. It’s a very natural thing. People understand both,’ said Arjun
Mumbai, Funny man-turned-director Sajid Khan doesn’t mind the ‘big mouth’ tag. He is ready with his second film “Housefull” and isn’t really bothered about reviews as he believes people, not critics, decide a movie’s fate.
“The fact is that critics don’t have to tell me whether my film is good or not. It is the job of the audience and they would decide if ‘Housefull’ works for them,” Sajid told IANS.
“Also, one thing I can state on record is that critics may give a one-star or a five-star rating to ‘Housefull’, but in their hearts they would like the film for sure. The same holds good for audiences who will any way watch ‘Housefull’ multiple times regardless of the review ratings,” he said.
Bollywood ruled the 56th National Film Awards Saturday, bagging as many as 13 awards, with films like ‘Fashion’, ‘Rock On!!’, ‘Firaaq’ and ‘Jodha Akbar’ winning two awards each in various categories. But Bengali film ‘Antaheen’ won the best feature film award and three more.

Actor Arjun Rampal won the best supporting actor for the film too.
Ashutosh Gowariker’s epic ‘Jodha Akbar’ won Chinni Prakash and his wife Rekha Prakash the best choreography award for the song ‘Azeem-o-shaan shehenshah’, a number that depicts dance forms of different Indian states. Fashion designer Neeta Lulla, who styled actress Aishwarya Rai in the film, has won the best costume designer award.
