Akshay Kumar refuses award

2009-01-16T17:56:00.000-08:00

While other actors make a mad scramble for awards, Akshay Kumar gave everyone a lesson in humility by refusing an award at the Star Screen awards function on Wednesday.

Akshay Kumar refused to accept the Star Screen award for Most Popular actor saying that it was Aamir Khan who deserved it more.

Akshay was nominated for his film Singh is Kinng, which was a hit with the masses. But,
“It is Aamir Khan who deserves this award,” Akshay said.

A source said Akshay did not accept the award because he had recently seen Aamir Khan in Ghajini and felt that Aamir’s role was fantastic.

Ghajini managed to do a business of more than Rs 200 crore compared to Singh is Kinng’s Rs 125 crore.
“I will request Aamir to accept this award instead of me,” Akshay added

Akshay’s gesture has earned him praises from all quarters in Bollywood and set the right tone for his latest movie Chandni Chowk To China.

It will be interesting to see if Aamir accepts the awards considering his dislike for attending award functions.

Movie Review Chandni Chowk To China

2009-01-16T17:20:00.002-08:00

Director: Nikhil Advani

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ranvir Shorey

Chandni Chowk To China is a big, bloated misadventure of a movie with a string of set pieces instead of a plot. There are too many gags, too many action scenes, too many item songs, and too much of everything, in fact. The film's biggest crime, if you ask me, is that it's an exercise in excess.

Akshay Kumar stars as Sidhu, a down-on-his-luck street-side cook in Delhi's Chandni Chowk who some Chinese tourists mistake for the reincarnation of their ancient warrior who alone can defend their village against the kung-fu crime-lord Hojo (played by Chinese actor Gordon Liu). Encouraged and abetted by Ranvir Shorey playing con artist Chopstick, Sidhu leaves behind his father (Mithun Chakraborty) and heads off to China, where much chaos ensues.

Inspired liberally from Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle, the comedy in Chandni Chowk To China, although largely slapstick, is enjoyable for the sheer good-natured goofiness Akshay brings to his character. I'm reminded of that scene in the aircraft where he repeatedly attempts to slam shut a stubborn overhead locker, or then that ingenious song sequence in which he fobs off the bad guys in his bumbling, drunken state. The film's first hour is lighthearted and simple and most of the humor's derived from Sidhu's clumsiness and ineptitude. It's when the film enters its second hour that the cracks begin to show.

The track involving the estranged twin sisters -- both played by Deepika Padukone -- and their reunion with their beggar father is too convoluted and distracting, and it takes away from the film's central story.

The screenplay also spends too much time on secondary characters like Hojo and Chopstick, whose pointless sub-plots only add to the film's daunting length. While there's no question most of the kung-fu scenes are neatly choreographed, there's a good chance you'll wish they weren't so repetitive and unending.

In a nutshell, Chandni Chowk To China is a tiring watch because it's an old formula only re-packaged in an East-meets-East avatar. The star of the film and really the only reason it doesn't entirely fail, is Akshay Kumar who is in such good form you wish they wrote better material for him. His timing is pitch-perfect and he's not afraid of looking foolish, as a result he pulls off some pretty good stuff. Deepika Padukone, despite the double role, is only ornamental in the film, but she makes a pretty sidepiece.

Throw in those breathtaking scenes filmed at the Great Wall of China, and you have something to remember after all. But what sticks with you when you leave the cinema after a screening of Chandni Chowk To China is the feeling of fatigue that comes from being trapped in an elevator for hours.

I'm going with two out of five for director Nikhil Advani's loud, indulgent comedy Chandni Chowk To China. Watch it if you're an Akshay Kumar fan, he doesn't disappoint even if the film does.

Rating: 2 / 5 (Average)

Most Popular Reality Shows on Indian Television

2008-04-04T22:46:00.000-07:00

MTV Bakra
No one can ever forget Cyrus Broacha’s grinning face and the confusion and bewilderment created amongst his victims. A wicked show with witty pranks followed by loads of laughter.

Kaun Banega Crorepati
Amitabh Bachchan’s stint on television that was perhaps the first reality show on Indian television to garner humongous audience response. The second season of the series was hosted by Shahrukh Khan but did not seem to fare just as well.

Indian Idol
This show has been one of the most popular reality shows on Indian television and perhaps due to the voting factor. With boys next-door turning into ultimate singing sensations, this show already has completed three seasons.

Sa Re Ga Ma
What started as a humble talent show hosted by Sonu Nigam soon metamorphosed into an ultra-glam, uber-dramatic reality show with the various celebrity judges like Himesh Reshamiya, Alka Yagnik, Abhijeet and Ismail Darbar constantly at loggerheads with each other.

Big Boss
The Indian version of

’s Big Brother was the most sensational and controversial reality show in

India

. Although long forgotten Actor Rahul Roy emerged as the winner, it was people like Anupama Verma, Aryan Vaid (due to their on-air love-affair) and Rakhi Sawant (due to her in-your-face attitude) who got instant recognition from this show.

The Great Indian Laughter Challenge
This hunt for

India

’s biggest comedian created a laughter riot on air with almost all its contestants enjoying tremendous popularity. Star Judges Shekhar Suman and Navjyot Singh Siddhu enjoyed great following too.

Nach Baliye
An original concept that involved celebrity couples trained by their choreographers battling against each other in an entertaining dance competition. The show has celebrity judges like Saroj Khan, Malaika Arora Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Kunal Kohli, David Dhawan, Isha Koppikar and Vaibhavi Merchant. The first season was extremely popular ans so was the second one, however the third season seems to be losing its charm.

Jhalak Dikhlaja
This was the Indian version of the hit show Dancing With the Stars, which was also very popular. The first season had celebs like Mona Singh, Mahesh Manjrekar and Shweta Salve as participants and Farah Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shilpa Shetty on the judges panel. The show is currently in its second season with Shiamak Davar, Urmila Matondkar and Jeetendra on the judging panel whereas the participants include celebs like actress Sonali Kulkarni, anchor Mini Mathur and singer Mika.

Reality shows seem to be a huge trend on television, but anything that is popular has to bear the brunt of constant criticism and analysis. Controversies about these reality shows being 'planned and scripted' or the voting lines being a hoax continue to rise every now and then. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction, they say! Well as for television, don’t be surprised or shocked as of yet…something far more real and far more strange might be on its way…till then...Enjoy Reality TV!

India

and is here to stay !
Reality shows in

India

date back to the Channel V’s talent hunt for making of a musical band. The band of girls called Viva that emerged from this show enjoyed short-lived popularity but marked the beginning of reality shows in

India

. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati, which was the Indian version of Who wants to be a Millionaire, was a major hit with the audience in

India

. What followed next was a flood of reality shows, many of them being adaptations of the pre-existing western versions.

Reality shows in

India

are a welcome break for many of the audience who were tired of cribbing about the Ekta Kapoor's saas-bahu series that were (and some of them still are) pre-dominant on Indian television. Indian Reality TV is however in its nascent stage and mostly includes desi-versions of the reality shows abroad. However these shows are enjoying tremendous popularity and will definitely give way to more innovative concepts on air.
