Life as a film set!

A music album that follows a story line through its songs is a concept that has not been tried before

WE HAVE heard quite a few songs ? both film and pop ? mostly about love and separation that seem to have a story concealed in them. But an entire album where the storyline flows from one track to the other seems to be indeed a concept never tried before. Except for an album released by the Rajshri group that featured a song called "Chuimui Si Tum Lagti Ho" (remember the video where the keychain teddy bear stole the show?), one really cannot recall any other album that has tried something like that. Novel idea Last week saw the release of the album, Tera Mera Pyar (Sony Music, Cassette, Rs. 55), which tells the story of a guy and a girl, who meet at a movie hall and fall instantly in love (sounds familiar?). "Come fall in love... at the movies" (Duh!) is the catchline of the album. The music ranges between mush and dance numbers, but it is the wide spectrum of vocalists ranging from Shreya Goshal to Sunidhi Chauhan to Alka Yagnik (yeah, there are guys too, Babul Suprio, Kumar Sanu, and more). But what catches your eye is the packaging of the entire product, starting with an inlay cover that resembles a Hindi movie poster complete with a "U" certificate and "filmi" style credits. And the press release of the album looks like a typical movie ticket, with "Admit One" stamped on it. Coming back to the theme, it is a story where a pretty young thing comes to watch a film with her friends, and while she is waiting in line for the tickets, turns around to notice a handsome guy ? "I sat down next to her in the movie hall, the lights dimmed... the screen lit up... and the rest is history" (oooh, what mush!). Well, this explains the title track, a solo number by Kumar Sanu, which is melodious and hummable. The low pitch and the warm vocals add a soft touch to the song, which is followed by "Yeh Kya Hua" by Shreya Goshal, equally melodious but on the slower side. Dance track "Teri Meri" is a typical dance track, with an impressive rap sequence by Cheshire Cat, and after a careful listening, the song reminds you of Will Smith's "Getting Jiggy With It". "Kurti Da" is also on the faster side while "Dhak Dhak" and "Pyar Ke Baatein" are typical lovey-dovey songs. If you listen to the album from cover to cover, the story line is evident, and keeps your interest alive to look forward for the next track. It's interesting to observe how a simple story makes sense when blended into a music album. Well, the argument seems to be: "If it can work in the movies, why not in a music album?" Well, it's at least a zillion times better than those "Kaanta Laga" remixes. 'It was my dream role' NIMRAT KAUR and Bhanujeet are two fresh faces that feature in the videos Tera Mera Pyar. "I'm delighted to be a part of a video that tells a story. It is my first stint," says Nimrat, who has shot to fame with the video for the title track. Besides important modelling offers, she has bagged herself a role in a forthcoming Hindi movie where she plays the character of a TV journalist. "I'm eagerly waiting for the release of the next video for Teri Meri. It's my favourite song and the first one I heard when I signed for the videos. I wish Indipop albums feature more mature music. It need not necessarily tell a story, but at least it can make sense," she adds. Amen!

Sisters without brothers speak out!

A brother is someone who's your best friend; he's someone who loves and expects nothing in return, someone you can look up to and is there to lend a shoulder to cry on. Raksha means protection and bandhan means a bond and having a brother is indeed a special feeling because you have someone to guide and protect you without having to say too much. But one wonders what happens to actors who don't have a real brother?Do they miss having a brother or are they content having a Rakhi brother instead? Kavita Shyam spoke to a few actors who don't have brothers and what Rakhsha Bandhan means to them. For Monaz Raksha Bandhan meant tying a rakhi to her dog Caesar - a tradition " Would have loved to have an elder brother" the followed for 12 years as she does not believe in making rakhi brothers, especially in the industry. Says Monaz: "I miss having a brother as I am the only child in the family. I would have loved to have an elder brother. The last rakhi which I tied was on my dog's neck; sadly he expired in February 2006. Now I've put up the rakhi on my cupboard handle which reminds me of him. I am going to miss him terribly this year and I am going to send a rakhi to my cousin brother in Pune. " Rucha Gujrathi ties a rakhi unfailingly every year on her father's wrist and misses "It's a bond between two people" getting gifts from a brother and having a brotherly figure around. "But I don't have a problem as all three of us sisters tie rakhi to our dad and send rakhis to cousins who live elsewhere. Rakhi is a bond between two people and it means raksha by a brother or whoever is close to you and takes care of you. I had tied a rakhi to Chetan Hansraj last year as he would keep calling me his little sister so I thought I must tie him a rakhi." "A brother is neither a friend nor a father" Sai Deodhar is the only child of her parents and misses having a sibling. She ends up tying rakhi to her innumerable cousins in Pune. She explains: "I have lots of cousins in Pune who are equally close to me. On rakhi it's nice to meet up all my cousins and we catch up on old times. I've been tying one to my father and my grandfather for a long time now. A brother to me is neither a father nor a friend but somewhere in between who would guide me and it's a great feeling to have a brother. I remember on my wedding day I saw all fifteen of my brothers standing near me which was an awesome feeling." "I tie rakhi to someone who does my raksha" Snigdha Akolkar has rakhi brothers in Akola, Pune and Mumbai and ties rakhi to Nasir from the industry. Says she: "For me rakhi means having someone who does my raksha. So I've tied rakhi to my brother-in-law besides a female friend who has been very protective about me. Also in future I can tie a rakhi to my husband as well for he's someone who will take care of me. Thank god I've no real brothers as they would have ended up bashing up all the guys who'd follow me in college as all my rakhi brothers are very possessive about me. " "It's a lifelong relationship of responsibilties" And as far as Tassnim Nerurkar is concerned she also has a few rakhi brothers and shares a special bond with actor Anuj Saxena as she considers him her elder brother. Says she: "I've lots of rakhi brothers and I have already tied rakhi to one of them as he was going out of town. On Raksha Bandhan I will be shooting and thereafter I'll be going to meet up my rakhi brothers. For me it's a kacha dhaga which is a lifelong relationship of responsibility and this is definitely a special bond."

'Bhabhi' gets ready to welcome Gen Next

It's official. Star Plus' afternoon soap Bhabhi will take a 20 year leap, and producers UTV have brought in a new band of

Puneet Sachdev: ready to make a mark!

freshers to help keep the serial afloat. The serial will go into fast forward mode on 2 June, with the introduction of Puneet Sachdev and Mohit Raina who will play the male leads - Vishv and Shubham.

The young lads have much more in common than having Bhabhi as their first noticeable break. Puneet played Sarfaraz in Star Plus' Saara Akash and then did ads for Panasonic, South Malabar Gold, and the Fanta kya dhakkan hai ad with Rani Mukherjee. Mohit played a cameo in a serial that he is not willing to talk about.

Both hail from small towns. While Puneet is from Gwalior, Mohit comes from Jammu.

"I have lived in Gwalior all my life. I completed my education there. But in a small town there is nothing much to do. I often spent my time playing cricket or watching movies," Puneet reminisces.

While it took a long time for both to realise that acting is their calling, their parents had different dreams for them. "I wanted to become a cricketer. I represented Madhya Pradesh in the under 16 and under 19 categories. At some point I also wanted to get into the defence forces, but failed the National Defence Academy test. I ended up doing MBA because my father wanted it," narrates Puneet.

Mohit laughs, "My parents wanted me to become a chartered accountant. But I flunked the test. In the mean time I worked with Hyundai."

Mohit Raina: wants to make it big with 'Bhabhi'

Both have had a fair share of struggles too. Puneet says, "The first time I came here, I stayed for just six days. I felt so homesick that I went back and didn't return for six months. (like Hrithik Roshan in Lakshya???). Then I returned with maturity and patience."

Mohit says, "I came to Mumbai for the first time nine months ago and kept frequenting offices of production houses. I could successfully reach the production house gate but never beyond that. The watchman would never let me in. Once, a watchman who I thought was very kind told me that the person concerned came only between 11 pm and 1 am. I thought it was very odd yet made it to the office at midnight only to realise that it was a joke. I was fed up with the way things were moving but not once did I think of returning."

Was life difficult then? Says Puneet, "One should come to Mumbai if he wants to feel sad." And Mohit ? "When I came to Mumbai I was nervous about how people would treat me".

Life in Mumbai has also been amusing for Mohit. "I had heard a lot about Lonavla. So I decided to go there. But there is hardly any beauty there. It is nothing compared to Kashmeer," he bursts out laughing. "I intend to go to Mahabaleshwar now. Let's see how it looks," he says.

Incidentally, both are Leos. Is it any surprise that the two intend to share an apartment too now?
