Last week, after Manish Acharya with Loins of Punjab Presents and Navdeep Singh with Manorama – Six Feet Under another debutant director enters tinsel town and comes up with a unique story. Director Manish Tiwary decides to tread on a path which few have tried before. But can a first timer pull it off?
Coming from Prakash Jha’s production house and judging by the promos one would think that this film would have his stamp on it. But unlike his earlier films like Gangaajal or Apaharan , this one is not as hard-hitting though some section of the crowd might be in for some shock value. Clearly the director has put in his own vision but not without traces of the producer’s inputs.
Sanjay Mishra (Shreyas Talpade) and Apurv (Imaad Shah) are college students who also happen to reside in the same hostel. Sanjay hails from a middle class background and campaigns for the student elections. He comes across another collegian Prerna (Nikita Anand) who aspires to be a model. Apurv comes from an affluent family but somewhere he finds excitement in discovering things which cannot be seen in everyday life. He visits a prostitute Vaishali (Smriti Mishra) and at the same time tries to woo a school-girl Kintu (Ishita Sharma). Sanjay cannot understand how Apurv can lend his heart to two women at the same time and the latter reacts by saying that ‘love’ is only a four letter word. So Sanjay challenges Apurv to make three women fall in love with him before his election results are declared. Sounds stupid? You decide...
The director should have paid more attention to the script. The core theme of the bet between Sanjay and Apurv is not put in the forefront (and neither is it reinforced) and you begin wondering why Apurv behaves the way he does. Another sore point is Shreyas Talpade’s character. At one point he seems to be the morally correct student who stands up for what he believes in and at another he contradicts his own beliefs which he enforced on others.
However, at certain points college students will be able to relate to Imaad’s character. It is chalked out really well.
Dil Dosti Etc . fails in the script department and treatment. The idea was good but somewhere the emphasis could not be brought out in the screenplay. The dialogues are weak. The film and especially Imaad’s character should have had stronger lines but he is relegated to finding out the atomic number of sodium.
After Anant Mahadevan’s Aggar , Shreyas Talpade takes a complete about turn as the middle-class student with political interests. His mannerisms do full justice of a Bihari youth but somewhere his character is not properly sketched out. Imaad Shah was last seen in a minor role in his father’s Yun Hota To Kya Hota but this time it’s a much more meatier role. The guy gets to smooth four women in the film and that might have been motivation enough to come up with a fine performance. However, his dialogue delivery needs some work. Smriti Mishra does a neat job and Ishita Sharma follows up her fine performance in Loins of Punjab Presents once again in this one. Nikita Anand looks the part completely and does well for herself even though she doesn’t have much of a role. Sanjay’s limp friend is terrific as well.
There is sex and violence but not in ample doses. The emotional segment balances it out. The film could have faltered completely but fortunately it doesn’t. Dil Dosti Etc. is a decent watch but just like Prakash Jha’s earlier films, it has its own audience.

Dereliction isn’t just a state of mind. It’s also a condition of being and feeling that determines the quality of human existence beyond the transient needs and urges of the individual trapped in the monstrous mundaneness of the moment.
The best thing about debutant director Navdeep Singh’s oddly entitled “Manorama Six Feet Under” is the sand-swept Rajasthani ambience. Once, there was the grandiloquent Rajasthan of J.P. Dutta’s cinema and now there’s the telltale, accusing, culpable and guilt-laden Rajasthan of Singh’s cinema where crime coalesces into grime to create a kind of brackish brittle but sturdy concoction that Quentin Tarantino would approve of and Alfred Hitchcock would find hard to recognise.
Moving away from the stylised cinematic symposium of the noire-thriller genre, “Manorama” plays it by the ear. The heat of the desert is coolly questioning. The narrative is propelled forward, if propelled is the right word for what the director does with his outwardly-disembodied material with the brutal inevitability of those small-town machinations generated by an evil or just a plainly-bored design.
The characters are familiar small town people, not as continually menacing as they were in Vishal Bharadwaj’s brutal and merciless “Omkara”, but funnier and more lethargic, more prone to be insensitive and outright silly than they were in the hands of the other noire-makers in the past.
The brutality, when it comes, is swift, sudden and violent. The goons quickly bring the protagonist down to his knees and break his fingers. It reminded me of Jack Nicholson’s broken nose in Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown”.
Abhay Deol plays the splintered protagonist, failed writer, semi-successful spouse, indifferent father and an aspiring sleuth - with a mixture of sloth and spirit.
He looks bulkier, less lean but as mean as he did in his earlier films. His portrait of dereliction is purposely unfinished.
A very fine performance comes from Gul Panag as Abhay’s wife. She fills up the screen with her casual elegance bringing to the land of the awry a sense of calm charm and obfuscated order.
Another winner is Vinay Pathak. Portraying the mindless and honest corruptibility of a small-town cop, Pathak furnishes the dusty environment with a wry almost invisible humour.
The comic element is generated from that sly synthesis of awkwardness and brutality that governs life in the backwaters of north India where existence is more of a matter for the accounts-book than philosophy.
The technicians behind the film work in an unselfconscious spirit, as though they were part of a reality that goes beyond cinema. Arvind Kannabiran shoots Rajasthan as a mute but never dumb witness to the protagonist’s ironic persecution.
Editor Jabeen Merchant jumps ahead of the narration to formulate visual evidence of thoughts before the characters express them. And the director knows he is looking for a strain of cinematic experience that has no specific target or relevance.
“Manorama Six Feet Under” is a brave, if somewhat dry, representation of avant-garde cinema where the characters look more into themselves than into each other’s eyes for answers to questions that leave a lot to the imagination.

THE losers hit the limelight once again. After the recent hits like Heyy Babyy and Dhamaal , you have the all boys' band of drifters calling the shots yet another time. Only this time, they do it with a pizzazz that brings back memories of Priyadarshan's earlier roller-coaster ride, Hera Pheri .
Ek baar phir, the vela boys dream of becoming winners. And what better way than to hitch their fortunes to a rich miss. But confusion begins when there's only one hot babe (Tanushree) in the neighbourhood and all four of them want to be her Prince Charming. Also, the babe's on a mystery quest, looking for her big brother’s killers, with dadaji (Om Puri) and dadiji (a kushti expert) in tow.
The story’s irrelevant. The screenplay’s iridescent. The gags are absolutely hilarious and the performances are crackling.
Of course, Rajpal Yadav steals the show with his mindblowing buffoonery (surely, his best act) and like an opera master, has the other three following in perfect place in this bindaas quartet circus. In their bid to woo the glam girl-next-door, the foursome always end up fleeing for their lives, sometimes from angry biker gangs, horrified family-wallahs, a querulous landlady and even a mean Mumbai thug who goes by a name that echoes the all-time baddie Mogambo.
Surely, it's time to crown Priyadarshan as the King of Comedy, if he can give us such a rib-tickler with a bunch of chhota actors. Miss this laugh riot at your own risk.

This November is all set to see the best releases of the year. With Madhuri Dixit making a comeback, am sure all the Madhuri fans will be awaiting this movie. Its called “Aaja Nachle“, produced under the Yash Chopra banner.
After a nerve whacking performance for Devdas in 2005, Madhuri was not seen in the tinsel town for quite sometime now and then she decided on this film, though she had a lot of offers from almost all the directors of Bollywood.
Aaja Nachle (Aaja Nachley) is a story about a theatre actress, played by Madhuri herself who vows to better the society through her dance acts. She travels to distant towns for her dance shows and conveys happiness through her dancing moves.
The film is in the safe hands of Anil Mehta, who is the cinematographer of the film along with being a director. In addition to Madhuri, Kunal Kapoor, Konkana Sen Sharma and Divya Dutta play important characters.
Madhuri looks stunning on the sets of the film after losing loads of weight and is often seen giving weight loss and fitness tips to co-actor Divya Dutta. She flew all the way from Denver, US or the shooting of this film in January 2007.
