Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai

Directed by: Ravi Chopra
Produced by: Ravi Chopra, BR Chopra
Starring: Salman Khan, Govinda, Tabu, Lara Dutta, Boman Irani, Rajpal Yadav
Music by: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Javed Akhtar (lyrics)
Cinematography: Barun Mukherjee
Editing by: Akiv Ali
Studio: Film City
Distributed by: BR Films
Release date: June 2, 2012

Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai is an upcoming Bollywood comedy film directed by Ravi Chopra, starring Salman Khan, Govinda, Tabu, Lara Dutta and Boman Irani.The film is scheduled to release on June 2, 2012.

The director was served with a legal notice in 2009 by 20th Century Fox, which charged that the movie blatantly plagiarized the 1992 comedy My Cousin Vinny. Chopra and the production company, Mumbai-based BR Films, denied the charges in court in May 2009; the movie's release was to be delayed until June 2009 by order of the Bombay High Court. Fox sought damages of $1.4 million; this was the first time a Bollywood filmmaker was taken to court by a Hollywood company over the remaking of a film. Fox had given Chopra permission "to make a film loosely based on the Oscar winning movie" but concluded the final product was a "substantial reproduction" of the original.

When BR Films’ Ravi Chopra began filming his Govinda-Lara Dutta comedy Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, he was clear that he’d completely overhauled and re-written an Indianised version of My Cousin Vinny. Apparently, when he began the film, Ravi had sought the remaking rights but was assured that since he was taking only an idea and he’d written a totally fresh screenplay, there was no need to buy the rights. He said that he’d even got written permission from the makers of My Cousin Vinny to go ahead with his Hindi film. But between the starting of the film and its completion, the market changed colours. BR Films and BIG, the Reliance wing that had the distribution rights, soon locked horns over the price — the latter wanted BR to re-negotiate terms but the former felt it was now being offered peanuts. With the film ready to hit the theaters but BIG in no mood to do the needful at an unaffordable price, Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai languished in the cans until the Chopras decided to simply end the deal and release it themselves. With perfect timing, a lawsuit was slapped on BR Films by Twentieth Century Fox for flicking their film without buying the rights!

B R Films, which was accused of plagiarism by Hollywood studio 20th Century Fox, had settled the case out-of-court for an undisclosed amount.

The Kolkata Telegraph, listing a number of other Bollywood movies "inspired" by Hollywood blockbusters, noted that the case would "decide whether Indian filmmakers can continue to get their 'inspiration' with impunity, or buy rights the legal way."

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana

After the two cult classics DEV D and UDAAN, UTV Spotboy and Anurag Kashyap come together again! And this time they dish out a wholesome masala family entertainer - LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA. The film, that started shooting in Punjab last week, celebrates the lovable quirks of a Punjabi joint family with its inherent humour, drama, confusion, emotion, and the secret recipe for a famous chicken curry 'Chicken Khurana', which forms the crux of the plot.

Amit Trivedi, the most talented young talent in the music industry today, and composer of past UTV and Kashyap hits like Aamir, DEV D and UDAAN, will compose the music and background score for the film. The film marks the directorial debut of Sameer Sharma, with Anurag Kashyap as creative producer and Jar Entertainment as line producer. Kunal Kapoor (from RANG DE BASANTI) and Huma Qureshi (from the upcoming GANGS OF WASSEYPUR) are in the lead roles, along with a carefully selected ensemble cast. LSTCK will be extensively shot in Punjab and is slated for release mid 2012.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV Motion Pictures says, "Anurag shared this script with us and we instantly fell in love with the characters and the world that the writer Sumit Batheja has created. Very few stories can make you laugh out loud one moment and bring a lump in your throat the next, and Luv Shuv maintains that delicate balance of humour and emotion throughout. We're happy to be collaborating with Anurag after two huge successes together in DEV D and UDAAN, and here's to a hat trick!"

Anurag adds, "Together we (UTV, Anurag and Amit) have done some really good stuff starting with Aamir and then DEV D and UDAAN. And we hope to repeat the same with LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA. It's everything that the title says. And the Shuv between the Luv and the chicken is what is more fun. Sameer has been a very good writer and collaborator and what he and Sumit Batheja (writer) have come up with and add the garnish of Amit Trivedi, this might turn out to be the dish of 2012."

Mr.Bhatti on Chutti

Mr.Bhatti on Chutti is a story based in 2005-06, the times of military aggression and war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Set in this time is our central character of Mr Bhatti (Anupam Kher) a bank clerk, a lovable yet lonely nerd. Mr Bhatti dares to do what we prefer to discuss with our morning cuppa and forget soon after. He has the passion to implement his peace plan aimed at 'Saving the World'. And he will not stop at anything until he achieves it...

Suddenly, Mr Bhatti realizes that he has actually won a FREE trip to Europe, though he has entered no contest. Who has sent him the ticket and the hotel package free of cost? How can Mr. Bhatti go on this trip without telling his favorite star, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan about it? Never mind, if he has only met him in his dreams, thus far... In reality, all Mr Bhatti can manage is to stand outside Mr. Bachchan's bungalow with a crowd, awaiting a glimpse of his hero. A plot within a plot. And all hell breaks loose. And Bhatti gets one shock after another.

Bhatti finds himself face to face with death, and utilizes his last wish to call up Mr Bachchan. Bhatti tells Bachchan, 'marwa diya aapne'... But can one keep Bachchan down? Mr. Bachchan once again, inspires Bhatti so much that his fan can defy death and fight to save humanity.

Its action stations after this. And Bhatti whom we all thought was an idiot, a buffoon, now turns the tables and to what effect!!!. We realize that to be single-minded about world peace, even at the cost of one's life, can turn an ordinary man in to a hero.

Now it is to be seen if Bhatti's desire to meet Bush and more importantly Mr.Bachchan is fulfilled or not... Mr Bhatti on Chutti is, on the face of it, a comedy. But there is much more to it in the larger sense, Mr Bhatti on Chutti talks about the common man Mr Bhatti's dream of a workable peace plan in a world ravaged by war and hunger. The film is also a celebration of Mr Amitabh Bachchan's stardom. He plays Mr Bhatti's conscience and also his inspiration as he is in real life to millions of us.

Love Recipe

Love Recipe as the name would suggest is a fun-filled film. Its about a D.J.

So D.J Rahul does not fit into this profile, the film is fun filled as Rahul's effort to woo Tia's father to approve their relationship & how he becomes the Real Hindustani in her dad's eyes. All ends well and Pratap Singh ultimately agrees Hindustaniyat is not about clothes and language after all. The heart has to be Hindustani.

Meanwhile Carlos, the international terrorist is being briefed by Music Ali, a freaky terrorist leader immersed in old Hindi film songs. The plan is to blast a peace conference happening in Mumbai ten days from now. He sets out on his mission giving rise to another hilarious track.

Getting rid of the head becomes the main concern out of which many hilarious situations occur as Rahul and Tia are yet unaware of the fact that the head is of the international terrorist Carlos on which such a huge reward lies.

But fortune provides an opportunity to Rahul to prove his patriotic zeal to his prospective father-in-law when a news telecast announces that the severed head that has been missing belongs to none other than Carlos Randall.

Department

Releasing Date: 18 May 2012


Department is an upcoming Hindi action film directed by Ram Gopal Varma.The film stars Amitabh Bacchan, Sanjay Dutt and Rana Daggubati in lead roles.The film was shot using several Canon EOS 5D cameras.


Contrary to buzz in the air, Ram Gopal Varma's cop drama DEPARTMENT isn't shelved. In fact the film is pretty much on schedule and its shooting would kick-start this summer.

Since Ramu had earlier announced that DEPARTMENT would be his next Hindi film after RAKHT CHARITRA, there was added rise in speculations when there was no further movement right through the first quarter of the year. Commercial failure of Abhishek's KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY and GAME further added fuel to the fire since DEPARTMENT features him in a key role. Later when Ramu announced that he was starting A LOVE STORY starting this month itself, it was time for obituaries to be written about DEPARTMENT.

'It is all sheer nonsense that I have shelved DEPARTMENT. It is very much on', one catches the filmmaker in a tad angry tone, 'People start rumours before checking facts and just end up making something out of nothing. They say that I am filling up the lost time with A LOVE STORY. Sorry, it is untrue since DEPARTMENT was always meant to begin this summer. It is sticking to the schedule. A LOVE STORY is a quickie I am making in between.'

Godzilla 2012 Movie: A New American Godzilla

Releasing Date: Not yet decided

The original script as penned by David Callahan who wrote "The Expendables" and "Doom". But I think the change is very good news. You might not know David Goyer's name, but he's a heavy hitter in Hollywood screenwriting. His resume includes the new "Ghost Rider"sequel, Zack Snyder's "Superman: Man of Steel", as well as all the Chris Nolan Batman movies including the upcoming "Dark Knight Rises.", which were also produced by Legendary. David Goyer's scripts help successfully re-boot the Batman franchise. These films were innovative, yet remained true to the original character. This is part of Legendary's style and was one of the main reasons Brian Rogers brought the Godzilla project to Legendary in the first place. We can hope that David Goyer can work the same magic for Godzilla as he did for Batman.
I'm sorry We'll have to wait a little longer to see the next Godzilla film. I'm sure Legendary want to do a good job, but I'm guessing another reason is that those involved like GarethEdwards have prior commitments. But, I've said this before and I'll say it again, that all the decisions Legendary Pictures has made about this project continue to inspire faith in me that we'll soon see a great American Godzilla.


Godzilla 2012 Movie

Things are pretty quiet on the Legendary Pictures Godzilla film front. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I'm starting to get a little worried things are stalling or getting postponed. Gareth Edwards, are you still in charge?Anyway, the only news lately is all fake. There was a semi-cool poster released and a website with nothing on it and there are lots of fan-made trailers floating around on youtube. At least some of them have the decency to tell you they're fan-made. Still, thay can be kind of fun to watch. It's like a movie trivia quiz;..ok, that's Transformers, that's Cloverfield, that's 2012, etc. Here's the poster and some trailers. I'll let them wet your kaiju appetites. Just keep in mind, the only official images so far is the Godzilla at the top of this page. enjoy

The Dark Knight Rises

Release Date:July 20th, 2012
Starring:Liam Neeson, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway
Director:Christopher Nolan
Writer:Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan, David S. Goyer, Bob Kane
Studio:Warner Bros. Pictures
Genre:Superhero, Action, Adventure, Crime
Official Site:thedarkknightrises.com

This is one of the summer's most anticipated blockbusters -- the final installment in Christopher Nolan's critically revered, audience-adored Batman trilogy. Fans of Christian Bale's grittier take on the Caped Crusader will be lining up to see this last entry in the series, so be prepared for a spirited debate if you don't think your tween is ready to handle the violence in Gotham City. Considering how startlingly intense the body count and torture scenes were in The Dark Knight (and how there are even more villains in this film), it's likely to be too bloody for many older tweens and young teens.

Battleship

Artists (Cast) : Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Hamish Linklater, Liam Neeson, Rihanna, Tadanobu Asano, Taylor Kitsch

Producer : Bennett Schneir, Brian Goldner, Duncan Henderson, Sarah Aubrey, Scott Stuber, Peter Berg

Director : Peter Berg
Releasing Date: 13th April 2012

It is yet another $200 million Hollywood movie about an alien invasion. It is stuffed with all the familiar elements of the genre, from characterisations to dialogues, visual effects to animation, and everything else. It has nothing new to offer in terms of ideas, story, and plot. It looks like a ‘B’ grade movie with terrible performances by its actors who are poorly supervised by the film’s director Peter Berg.

BATTLESHIP exemplifies the serious crisis of ideas that has hit Hollywood. It apparently relies on big money and its marketing machine and might to sell such bad products worldwide to recover the cost of its humongous follies in one weekend swoop. I have doubts if it will work in this case and if BATTLESHIP will be able to do even a fraction of what THE HUNGER GAMES could.

The film is based on a video game for children developed and marketed by Hasbro. The funniest thing about the movie is the request by the Universal’s PR department not to reveal the plot points toward the film’s climax. What is there to reveal or unravel that is not already revealed or unraveled in a film of this genre? Everyone knows how the climax scene will play out in such a film. The little kids can tell you that. And BATTLESHIP is the most predictable of them all. You can foretell its story and plots as soon as the first frame of the film starts to roll. You can even predict the scenes, situations, sequences, dialogues, and the relationships of its characters. There is nothing in the film that surprises you including the visual effects and the CGI generated sea-battle scenes.

The earthlings’ intense desire to connect with living creatures similar to them in the outer space makes them discover a planet in another solar system that shares all the Earth’s characteristics. They broadcast a message through powerful satellite amplifiers hoping to get some response from the alien planet. They get a response as a small alien armada descends from nowhere into the sea near Hawaii at Pearl Harbour where an international naval force is preparing to undergo routine war exercises in an atmosphere of bonhomie. On the American side is Lt. Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch), a wayward, carefree, impulsive, irresponsible, and a skirt-chasing guy who is forced to join the Navy by his elder brother Stone Hopper (Alexander Skarsgård) who commands a destroyer ship. Alex in the meantime has fallen in instant love with Samantha Shane (Brooklyn Decker), daughter of Vice Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson), after a late night bar encounter with her.

The joint naval exercise leads to a conflict between the just arrived alien armada and the international naval force, which soon turns into a full-fledged battle threatening the survival of the whole world. These aliens look like an uglier grown up versions of ET, with the addition of a hard goatee and four fingers instead of three. They move around inside robotic steel armour. They have a weakness. They cannot bear sunlight. In the ensuing battle an entire fleet of destroyers are lost including the one commandeered by Stone Hopper, our hero’s elder brother, who dies in the attack. Our hero and his ship survive but the captain of the ship becomes a war casualty. Now our ‘good for nothing skirt-chaser’ hero Alex is in charge of the destroyer and he is filled with rage over the death of his doting brother. He fights a great battle with the alien forces aided by a Japanese naval officer, a good example of rare international brotherhood. And needless to say he manages to save the world with a little help from a decommissioned battleship-cum-museum run by retired World War 2 war veterans. However, his grand feat of saving the world is not good enough for Vice Admiral Shane to say an unqualified yes to Alex’s request to marry his daughter Samantha.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter  Topics: book characters, monsters, ghosts, and vampires Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Director: Timur Bekmambetov Cast: Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead Genre: Horror Theatrical release date: June 22, 2012

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a horror/action thriller based on a novel by Seth Grahame-Smith. It tells the (obviously) fictitious story of the days before Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) became president and secretly dispatched an army of vampires. Coming from Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, whose previous movies Night Watch, Day Watch, and Wanted were R-rated and very violent, Abraham Lincoln looks to be fairly bloody as well, with far more fighting and weapons than historical facts.

The film explores the secret life of our greatest president and the untold history that shaped our nation. As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln witnesses the shocking death of his mother, leading him on a path to an ongoing war - and ultimately to the presidency - he chronicles in a hidden diary. The journal reveals the incredible story of a clandestine warrior who never stopped fighting for the country he led and the people he loved.
