Benaras versus Benaras on October 12
With JODHAA AKBAR having been officially postponed to next year, the stage is set for a direct clash between two much-awaited movies, LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG (LCMD) and BHOOL BHULAIYAA (BB). As per our distribution/trade sources, the Pradeep Sarkar directed Yash Raj project, LCMD will be released with around 400 prints, much like their recent release, CHAK DE! INDIA. On the other hand, Priyadarshan's BB is likely to see a huge number of 700 prints (including digital) in just India.

An interesting thing to note here is that both the releases have one thing in common, the holy city of Benaras (lovingly referred to as Kashi). The Rani, Konkona, Jaya, Kunal and Abhishek (in a special appearance) starrer, LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG, is based mostly in Benaras, with major portions of it having been shot there. The other 'Eid' week release, the Akshay, Vidya, Paresh, Shiney starrer, BHOOL BHULAIYAA, has also been extensively shot in places like Benaras (which according to Priyan abounds in Hindu customs and traditions), due to the requirement of the movie.

Here is sincerely hoping that the holy city of Kashi bestows its blessings on both the Benaras based movies and they jointly succeed at the box-office and give the audience and Bollywood a dual 'Eid' treat.

Akshay back in Priyadarshan's comic flick

After Namaste London Akshay Kumar is all set to make fans laugh again and it is with none other than favourite director Priyadarshan.

Akshay entered Bollywood as an action hero and soon had fans swearing by his stunts.

But some years later there was a twist in the tale and he suddenly became the funny man and was called the badshah of comedy.

It was director Priyadarshan who gave him this new face.

"The movie is about how we create things and then we are caught in it again, it is all about this," said Akshay Kumar.

With a series of hit comedy films to their credit Hera Pheri, Phir Hera Pheri. Garam Masala and Bhagam Bhag, Akshay and Priyadarshan seem to be in a perfect marriage.

And they're back to tickle your funny bone. But this time with a lot of thrill as well they're all set with their latest film Bhool Bhulaiya.

Giving them company are Vidya Balan, Amisha Patel, Shiney Ahuja Priyadarshan's favourite Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav.

The story revolves around a young couple played by Shiney Ahuja and Vidya Balan.

They arrive at an old mansion in a village where unusual and supernatural things start to happen. So what's new well it's the first time that Akshay Kumar plays a psychiatrist.

So let us all wait for the new pshyciatrist in the town.

 

Mind-boggling adventure

hool Bhulaiya is the Hindi remake of 1993 Malayalam blockbuster, Manichitrathazhu which had Priyadarshan as a second unit director. The film was so popular that is remade in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu recently. Although the original was a psycho-thriller, Priyadarshan has chosen to balance between the thrills and the laughs with Bhool Bhulaiya. The film revolves around a small village where people conservative and superstitious. Badhi (Manoj Joshi) a Brahmin believes his ancestral palace is haunted. When Badhi's brother's son Siddharth (Shiney Ahuja) arrives with his wife Avni (Vidya Balan), they insist on staying in the palace and choose to ignore Badhi's warnings about the place. Unnatural events inside the palace scare the newly moved- in couple and amidst a lot of confusion the couple calls a friend for help. Dr. Aditya Shrivastav (Akshay Kumar) takes up the investigation to set things right. Bhool Bhulaiya, also stars Ameesha Patel, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav and promises to be an entertaining extravaganza, in true Priyadarshan style. Director Priyadarshan "Bhool Bhulaiya is inspired from the Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu but it is a lot different from its source of inspiration. With this movie, I am trying to reveal different dimensions of human psychology. This was the basic concept behind Manichitrathazhu as well, but with Bhool Bhulaiya there will be a lot of laughter too. Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan are some of the most sought-after stars in the industry and their performances are at par with their image. We have shot extensively at Jaipur and Benaras to get the authentic Indian feel into the film. In a way, having the orthodox Indian theme was essential to make Bhool Bhulaiya's concept more convincing. Fazil, director of Manichitrathazhu, was very apprehensive about remaking his film since some adaptations in the past have been disappointing. But needless to say Bhool Bhulaiya will captivate and thrill the audiences and be as successful as its Malayalam inspiration."

"Bhool Bhulaiya can turn out to be a blockbuster"

Rachit Gupta Well-known comedy filmmaker Priyadarshan talks about his upcoming film Bhool Bhulaiya and the reasons behind remaking umpteen South Indian films in Hindi What is Bhool Bhulaiya about? Bhool Bhulaiya has the tension of Bhoot and the humour of Hera Pheri. Humour and horror come together to form the film's story. Bhool Bhulaiya explores the depth of human emotions and psychology through a story based in a traditional Indian setup. In fact, it is inspired from a 1993 Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu by director Fazil in which I was a second unit director. Why were you so irate when people called it a remake of Rajnikanth's Chandramukhi? Chandramukhi completely mutilated the original film's concept and story. Manichitrathazhu was a classic but Chandramukhi was absolute cinematic trash. The film was made for Rajnikanth and not for a classic subject that formed the essence of the original film. With Bhool Bhulaiya I have tried to capture that classic message and obviously comparisons with Chandramukhi were not a pleasant experience. You seem to have high expectations from your film. I have worked very hard to make Bhool Bhulaiya. I wanted North Indian culture to be dominantly visible in the film, which is why we extensively shot in places like Benares that are full of Hindu traditions and culture. Apart from its visual appeal, the film's content was reworked as well. The original film had certain mistakes, like it focussed on split personality, but since I have been a psychology student, I could understand it better. We decided to use the human condition of Disassociated Identity Syndrome, where a person develops dual identities and starts living in an alternate imaginary world. The expectations are like any of my films on which I have worked hard. Audiences always want to watch something that can hold their interest and Bhool Bhulaiya can turn out to be a blockbuster. Why are you so inspired to remake Hindi films from Malayalam, Tamil or Telegu films? The point is most of the really good films made by some other director or me in Malayalam or Tamil were made with small budgets. Limited sources of finance left us wanting for more, because as filmmakers we wanted to make those films a lot better. When we made Manichitrathazhu in '91 we wanted to make a big film, but a micro budget tied our hands. Making a Hindi film allows me to explore into areas I couldn't earlier because the budgets are bigger and the films can be better. Bhagam Bhaag was under the plagiarism scanner and that cost the producers dearly. What if something like this happens to Bhool Bhulaiya? That won't happen because Bhool Bhulaiya is a film I have worked on originally. In fact Fazil, the original film's director, is completely aware of the remake and there would no such issues. How much did Vidya Balan's recent popularity influence you in casting her for the film? My original choice for the role was Aishwarya Rai. But, when I saw Vidya in traditional Indian attire, I felt she fits the character's mould perfectly. Also, Vidya justified my decision by giving her heart and soul to the film. She worked really hard to have every scene and dialogue delivered to perfection. In a recent interview with Screen Vidya said that inevitably she will be compared to Shobhana, who starred in the original, after Bhool Bhulaiya's release. Was that of any cause for concern to you? Shobhana was a trained and genuine dancer. Vidya on the other hand is just an actress who is portraying a trained dancer. There are no comparisons between the two. Shobhana was applauded for her performance and so will Vidya. Vidya has worked very hard at learning the dance steps and her efforts will show on the screen. What was the biggest challenge in the filming of Bhool Bhulaiya? The biggest challenge had to be extracting performances from the cast. We were striving for authentic and genuine performances that would seem absolutely real and to have things perfect I did not allow a single person from the cast to watch the original. Why do we see you work with the likes of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Tanushree Dutta so often? Why don't you explore other actors' talent as well? Well there is a Malayalam saying that roughly translates as "When there is butter at home, you don't have to go out searching for ghee". People like Paresh, Rajpal, Akshay or even Manoj Joshi are seasoned and complete actors. And when I have such talented people to work with why I should go searching for someone else? Let's just say that known devils are better than unknown angels. When is Dhol - Kiska Bajega scheduled for release? Dhol is scheduled for a September 21 release. Don't you think simultaneous releases for your films will eat into their cumulative business and divide the audiences? What can I do? Yash Raj had all the theatres booked until now. Either ways I don't think back-to-back release dates hurt my films. People want to watch fun and entertaining films all the time. The more they are available on show, the better for the audiences. Why are you doing so many comedies, when alternately you have been acclaimed so much for your serious films down south? I started making serious dramas like Gardish and Virasat in Hindi. Films like that did not do well, not because they were bad stories or films but because the people wanted to watch something else. They wanted to go to a theatre to enjoy and not sulk or think profoundly. I also thought that at that time there was a dearth of comedies. Quite naturally, I am playing for the gallery and making films that work, films that people of the young multiplex era want to see. So should your fans not expect serious dramas from you? They should. I am currently working on a Tamil film called Kanjeevaram that stars Prakash Raj. This film is about the workers in the Kanjeevaram mills and it's going to be a serious arty flick. I am not sure if the film will make it to the commercial screenings but will definitely do the rounds in film festivals. I am always going to enjoy making serious films but comedies and commercial films will be my bread and butter.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Singers: K.K., Neeraj Sridhar, Tulsi Kumar, Shaan, M.G. Sreekumar, DJ Amyth, DJ Kiran, DJ G & Earl Music Director: Pritam Rating: *** The music album of "Bhool Bhulaiya" is an absolute listener's delight. Composed by Pritam and with lyrics by Sameer, the soundtrack is a pleasure to listen to and would definitely rope in huge profits. The title track is doing wonders on the small screen. "Bhool Bhulaiya" is a peppy track rendered by Neeraj Sridhar of Bombay Vikings fame. The song has a vibrant and lively feel to it, making it a 'sing-along' kind of number. The Hinglish track is pretty different from the usual lot. There's also a lot of energy associated with the phrase "Hare Ram Hare Krishna". K.K. takes over the reins of "Allah hafiz", an enjoyable number that has the right zing at the right places. It has punch and perkiness and would surely get the thumbs up from audiences. "Labon ko" might sound like a Pritam number but isn't the kind one expects in a Priyadarshan flick. But the track does make for a good hear. With its slight sufi touch, it reminds you very minutely of tracks from "Life In A Metro", though many may not agree. An unheard combination of Tulsi Kumar and Shaan makes way for "Let's rock soniye", a song that has a mega-party tag to it. Even though one has heard similar tracks in the past, the song makes its mark as Pritam puts in a lot of ingredients together to create a fun, dance number on the lines of "Mahi ve". Pritam ropes in Shreya Ghoshal and M.G. Sreekumar for "Mere dholna". A decent song, this number is average compared to the rest of the tracks but still manages to hold its own as its genre seems to be of a different kind. "Sajda", crooned by K.K., cannot be termed an out-and-out hit as it lacks that slight zest. Another average track comes in the form of "Sakhiya". Tulsi Kumar gets to go solo in this number where she does a good job but it also makes one wonder if it might have been better with Shreya behind the vocals. With rhythm as its base, the song would appeal to a certain group of masses. "Bhool Bhulaiya" doesn't falter much and the entire album turns out to be a great package. Pritam gets his notes right, making it a much awaited film
