Salman Khan Fan Website

Whether you love him or not, Salman Khan is undoubtedly the most WANTED man of Bollywood. The actor in conversation with our correspondent in Kolkata.

This is the second time in 30 days that you are back in Kolkata…
The last time I was in Kolkata to play a football match with Mohammedan Sporting Club for the promotion of WANTED, I had to postpone the match and go back as people literally went crazy. But I was overwhelmed with the love and respect they showered on me and I had promised to come back. Aur ek bar hum kisiko commit kar dete hai toh hum khud bhi who commitment nehin tod sakte… by the way this is a dialogue from WANTED (smiles).

This time you danced, sang and even delivered dialogues on stage…
Yes, we arranged a small event for the promotion of my film LONDON DREAMS…I have a huge…massive fan-base in Kolkata. I just wish I can spend more time with them and interact with them more frequently…if only the distance between Mumbai and Kolkata could have been shortened! Otherwise, bahut lambi flight hai bhai!

Talking of LONDON DREAMS, you seem to share a very good on-screen chemistry with Asin…
Yeah, that’s because, off-screen too, we are very good friends. If your off-screen chemistry is good, then only your on-screen chemistry clicks.

There are news that you have got particularly fond of Asin…
That’s because she is one of the most wonderful persons I have met in my entire life. She is never tensed over the fate of a film, she has no ego, no tantrums, she is so simple, yet so elegant. Even in GHAJINI, her romantic scenes were more appreciated than the action sequences.

We are seeing the painter side of Salman quite often now. How did you get into painting?
It’s very difficult to say…I know there are painters who can give a proper answer to this question. But for me, I used to do pencil sketch as a kid…now I straightaway use the brush and the colours. My mother is a good painter…so may be I picked it up from her subconsciously.

Salman Khan severing ties with Ravi Chopra

The once close friends Salman Khan and director Ravi Chopra have turned enemies if the latest news is to be believed. Why? Because Ravi did something that Wanted hero didn’t want.

It’s everybody’s knowledge that Salman did Ravi films Baghban and Baabul for free, as they were close to each other. However, he seems to be not happy with the director’s latest moves. He turned down his two offers straight away citing date problem.

The reason behind turning his back on his friend was that the films were offered to much younger actors Neil Nitin Mukesh and Shahid Kapoor before being offered to him. This irked the Wanted hero. Now, the latest we hear is that he is not even in the mood to meet him.

Salman Khan to visit radio stations!

Salman Khan, who landed in London this morning after a stunning Dubai premiere of Vipul A. Shah’s LONDON DREAMS last night, is getting into top gear to promote the film, which previews in the UK on Thursday 29th October 2009.

In addition to doing one-on-ones with select media at his Central London hotel today, it is believed that he will be visiting the studios of Sunrise Radio and Asian Star Radio tomorrow at 3pm and 5pm respectively to promote LONDON DREAMS live on air.

What better way to promote a musical love story titled London Dreams than through a live concert and that too in London!

Well, director Vipul Amrutlal Shah and the colourful ensemble cast of his film are rolling up their sleeves for something like that. Come October 28, two days before the release of their film ‘London Dreams’, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Asin will perform live along with music directors Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy in front of thousands of Londoners.

In the concert, songs from the movie will be performed.

In ‘London Dreams’ Salman plays a talented musician from Punjab. He has talent but no fame. Ajay plays his friend who starts a band in London. Things take an unexpected turn when Ajay brings Salman to London and the latter strikes an instantaneous fame, while Ajay is being pushed to the sidelines. There is an important concert in the movie set in Wembley stadium.

However, for the promotional concert in London, the Wembley stadium wasn’t suited. So the organizers settled for The London Excel Arena which has space for as many as 40,000 people.

The film’s actors, music directors, and other crew members will take the stage at the Arena on October 28. The cast and crew are expected to reach London one day before the concert.

The movie is slated for worldwide release on October 30.

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Mughda Godse

Supposedly based on an American play Right Bed Wrong Husband, Rohit Shetty’s All The Best is modeled as a comedy of mistaken identities finding its desi-siblings in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Chukpe Chupke and Anees Bazmee’s No Entry. Though not as simple as the former or smart as latter, the comedy still clicks with its unstable blend of story, style, sense, slapstick and stunts.

Despite their love for each other, Veer (Fardeen Khan) and Vidya (Mughda Godse) strangely prefer pretending as a wedded duo (over getting married) to get their monthly pocket money from NRI brother Dharam (Sanjay Dutt). Dharma unexpectedly lands in India and mistakes Jhanvi (Bipasha Basu) as Vidya. Jhanvi’s husband Prem (Ajay Devgan) is compelled to cook up continual story to conceal the con.

Mughda Godse shocks in the opening scene with a ’sari’ state-of-affairs. Fardeen looks fat and Ajay Devgan tries too hard to look cool in cartoon t-shirts and fine-tuned facial hair only to be mistaken by Sanjay Dutt as a driver (not his fault). With his trademark tendency to exaggerate action in the film, Rohit Shetty does Golmaal in the script stuffing a mandatory car-race sequence. Fardeen Khan’s rock-band track doesn’t contribute to the narrative at all and the following fight sequence is visibly forced.

Nevertheless the humour works since the treatment is not fully farcical but also has a plot primarily focused on mistaken identities. The screenplay by Robin Bhatt and Yunus Sejawal does resort to intermediate slapstick but the comic timing of characters and the spontaneity in their animated acts keeps the spark live. The gags range from some silly and stretched ones to some fresh and funny lines. The title track is groovy but beyond that Pritam’s music doesn’t stay with you.

The caricatured characterizations of the supporting cast are amusing. After being the only endurable character from last year’s slapstick One Two Three where he imitated yesteryear villain Jeevan, Sanjay Mishra attempts aping Pran this time to equally hilarious outcome. Ashwini Kalsekar as the Madrasi maid is loud but laugh-inducing. For a pleasant change, Johnny Lever plays a mute mafia don and you don’t mind his histrionics when he gains his vocal chords in the climax. Vinay Patkar as his interpreter is funny and so in Atul Parchure.

Rohit Shetty continues his brand of chaos, confusion and commotion in the bulletproof climax. While that’s still acceptable, what’s absolutely uncalled for in this madness is an African clone of Bipasha Basu that figures out from nowhere and only invites idiocy and ridicule towards the end.

From the cast, Sanjay Dutt is the scene-stealer with his impeccable coming timing and expressive repartees. He looks fresh and one can sense him enjoy playing his part, unlike some of his recent releases where he appears dull and disinterested. Fardeen’s character seems straight out of No Entry and thankfully he does equally well. Ajay Devgan has a standard set of expressions for comedies, which he uses effectively. Bipasha Basu looks cute in those frocks and frills and plays her part well. Mughda Godse has less screen-time and screen-presence than the side-comedians.

All The Best is the best bet this Diwali.

Salman Khan’s visit enthralls movie buffs in Rajasthan’s Sumerpur town

Sumerpur (Rajasthan), Oct.20 (ANI): Thousands of ecstatic movie buffs assembled in Sumerpur town of Rajasthan to have a glimpse of their favourite Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

Salman visited Sumerpur on Monday (Oct.19) on the invitation of Rajasthan’s Tourism Minister Beena Kak who had promised her electorate of bringing the macho star to this place if she was voted to power in the legislative assembly elections.

The presence of Salman Khan proved to be a hug crowd-puller, as the local fans covered almost every possible nook and corner for a glimpse.

Salman, on this occasion, asked his fans to live amicably and vote for secular politicians.

“Work hard, get educated, do good things, follow the path of truth and live peacefully and with harmony. Never ever give votes to politicians in lifetime who ignite animosity between Hindus and Muslims,” said Salman Khan.

Meanwhile, Salman’s fans were thrilled to find the star amidst them.

“Today, I’m so happy to see Salman Khan. I really liked what he spoke,” said a girl.

The occasion was utilised to popularise the green drive by planting 21,000 saplings for which Salman Khan gave a cheque of Rs. 500,000. (ANI)
