SOUND CHECK-DOSTANA

Well there is a lineup of bollywood films for all you film buffs to enjoy this season. But the one thing that drives the audience to the theatre is the music of the film. Well so ill be giving you the review of Karan Johar's upcoming 'flick' DOSTANA, starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and (yes her again) Priyanka Chopra. Dostana is being produced by Karan Johar and directed by Tarun Mansukhani. Music is composed by the dynamic duo of Vishal-Shekhar. Vishal-Shekhar are launching Dostana after the super succesful Bachna Ae Haseeno. However Dostana is not exactly in the same league as Bachna Ae Haseeno. That does not mean that the music is not good. The music is peppy and the songs all happy numbers. However there is hardly any variety. The album has 6 songs that opens with 'Jaane Kyun' which is a happy number that wil get you smiling. The next song is 'Desi Girl' which is a party song and one you can dance to. The rest of the songs like 'shut up and bounce', 'Maa da Ladla' , 'Kuch kum' are all happy. 'Khabar nahin' is a slow song along the lines of 'Khuda Jaane'. The album is good on the whole.

DRONA = RONA

Well finally the very hyped about Drona released on 2nd October ( a very fiiting tribute to Gandhi..................NOt). Well coming back to the movie , if you have seen it, im so sorry and if you havent you live to fight another day. Well the story is like all "superhero" movies. There is a hero and a villain. The only change is that the hero has a sexy bodyguard and all the action is done by her. Abhishek Bachchan has little to do in the film. The film boasts of some great action sequences, specially a train sequence and loads of special effects , where magical mirages appear in deserts and simple blue petals becoming living, breathing forms. Still the movie doesnt work out as there is no story. and because the "hero" has absolutely nothing to do and his hot bodyguard just follows him around like a lost pup.The only saving grace is the absolutely mindblowing rendition of Kay Kay Menon as Riz Raizada ( reminiscent of Heath Ledger's Joker). He single handedly stops the film from collapsing way below ground level. His performance made me actually watch the movie , otherwise every cell of my body was telling me to get out of the theatre. What a waste of 200 bucks.
