Sanjay Dutt not happy with ‘Kancha’ in Agneepath

The blood-curdling, spine-chilling, terrifying bald avatar of Sanjay Dutt, aka ‘Kancha Cheena’, is a character that India can never forget. Perhaps somewhere down the line, mothers would be found scaring their children with the name ‘Kancha’ in order to make them behave properly. Such is the portrayal of sheer villainy that Sanjay Dutt has been able to give life to.

While the country and countrymen are still cringing in fear just at the thought of ‘Kancha Cheena’, and gaping in awe at the actor behind the role, Sanjay Dutt doesn’t seem to be too happy on being referred to as ‘Kancha’. His role in the movie ‘Agneepath’ was perhaps the most commendable one. The act that he put up in the movie shouts out his consummate skills.

However, recently at the success party of ‘Agneepath’, hosted by Hrithik Roshan at his Juhu residence, Sanjay snapped at photographers who had referred to him as ‘Kancha’. At the party, Sanjay had arrived at around 11.30 in the night and when he was leaving at about 2.30am, he was in an inebriated state. The photographers worked themselves into frenzy when they spotted the actor leaving Hrithik’s place.

One of the photographers then present at the spot recalled the incident to a daily, “We wanted him to pose for us, and normally we cheer for actors by referring to them by their screen names.”

Apparently, Sanjay Dutt wasn’t too happy on being called ‘Kancha’, and snapped at the photographers present there. Reason for his shocking behaviour, however, is still puzzling. The befuddled onlookers didn’t know how to react. And we’re still wondering, may be Sanjay Dutt still wants to be referred as ‘Munna Bhai’.

Movie Review: Hrithik Roshan breathes fire and soul into 'Agneepath'

Very early in his career, Hrithik Roshan had played some intense and brooding characters in movies like ‘Fiza’ and ‘Mission Kashmir’. Although the films were major Box Office failures, Hrithik the actor, was appreciated for taking up such roles so early in his acting career. The actor became a star and slowly got engulfed in glitzy glamorous roles. After almost a decade, Hrithik comes back in the same brooding avatar in this week’s new release, ‘Agneepath’. And oh boy, he is fantastic.

The film, which is a remake of a cult classic starring Big B, has the same story line more or less but director Karan Malhotra introduces some new characters like Rauf Lala(played brilliantly by Rishi Kapoor) and minuses some old ones.

Set in a village called Mandwa, the story soon moves to Mumbai where Vijay Dinannath Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan) works for Rauf Lala and becomes an important member of his gang. Vijay’s only motive in life is to seek revenge of his father’s death from Kancha (Sanjay Dutt) and reclaim the respect of his native place, which is now Kancha’s kingdom.

When you are making a cult classic, comparisons are inevitable. But Karan Malhotra plays it safe and changes the story to a certain extend to make it a contemporary fresh film. The treatment given to the film is that of a typical masala potboiler which is high on drama, action and emotions. So you have a mother giving birth to a child in the middle of the road, the hero’s sister being assaulted by the villain and hero himself giving long dramatic dialogues in the climax scene. Sounds familiar? Well, let just say that it is flashback 80s hindi cinema.

While Hrithik takes the film firmly on his shoulder, he is supported by the film’s main baddie, Sanjay Dutt as Kancha. Sanjay gives Kancha a whole new character with his bald and almost ugly look and menacing behaviour. Dutt proves that given a good strong character, he can prove his acting prowess. Surprise package of film is definitely Rishi Kapoor. Kapoor who has always been known for his chocolate boy romantic image, takes a three sixty degree turn in this film as Rauf Lala. He is clever, conniving and very convincing.

Priyanka Chopra as Kaali, Hrithik’s love interest has a small role and unfortunately doesn’t have much to do. Hrithik, on the other hand, gives a very humane touch to Vijay’s character who is quite and brooding. Big B as Vijay had lot more punch lines and aggression which Roshan lacks.

The film is shot brilliantly and the village scenes are particularly good. Music by Ajay-Atul is enjoyable and is already at the top of all the music charts. But the film could have been edited as the first half drags and the pace only increases in the second half when Vijay meets his enemy, Kancha.

The film is not the best remake. We have seen better remakes. But ‘Agneepath’ as a film doesn’t fail to entertain. It has its moments and when you have Katrina gyrating to ‘Chikni Chameli’, how can the film be dull!

If you have gotten tired of urbane, realistic films that have been coming out off late and missing the typical commercial potboilers, ‘Agneepath’ is your answer.

Dubai is B-town's latest party destination

SRK and Sallu take their rivalry and revelry to the Emirates. Mirror gives you a lowdown

Goa is passe. The new festive destination for Bollywood celebrities is definitely Dubai. With the two big Khans - Salman and Shah Rukh bringing in their New Years in the Arab emirate, friends of the stars, their loyalists and even the fence sitters have headed westwards. And for those who got stuck with good old Goa or aamchi Mumbai, Mumbai Mirror finds out the plans for the sought after big bashes in Dubai.

Shah Rukh, who has taken a break of just four days from work, will be partying at his island bungalow, K-93, Palm Jumeirah, at the far end of Khasab cove, revealed a source close to the actor. Wife Gauri, daughter Suhana and son Aryan will be by his side. After all, it was meant to be a family holiday.

Apart from family, his fast friends Chunkey and Bhavna Pandey will grace Shah Rukh's party. Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor are also on the guest list. SRK loyalists Hrithik Roshan and Arjun Rampal will also bring in the New Year with the Khan. Mushtaq Sheikh, also in Dubai might join in SRK's revelry as well.

Salman on the other hand, has taken his family to party at Baba Dewan's mansion in Dubai. Salman will have his parents, brother Arbaaz and his wife Malaika, Sohail and Seema, sister Alvira and Atul Agnihotri and Arpita Khan for company. Amrita Arora and her husband Shakeel Ladak will join Salman at his party.

Sophie Chowdhury, who is in the city to perform at a New Year's eve event, will join Sallu's party as well. Nikhil Dwivedi, a common friend of both Shah Rukh and Salman will head to Baba Dewan's mansion instead of Palm Jumeirah on December 31.

Katrina Kaif’s latest item boy?

The Sheila Ki Jawani phase has passed, but the item girl that made it popular has been keeping the trend alive.

Katrina Kaif, who gyrated to Chikni Chameli with Sajay Dutt in KJo's Agneepath and the title number for the Salman Khan starrer Bodyguard, will reportedly add yet another item number to her list. This time around, Mumbai Mirror has learnt that the actress will be joined on the dance floor by her co-star Aamir Khan for Aditya Chopra's Dhoom 3.

A member from the film unit revealed to us that the item number was not part of the original plan. However, the decision to include it was due to the novelty factor. The unit member explained, "Katrina and Aamir have never worked together before. And since the opportunity has finally been presented, the filmmakers decided to make the most of it. However, Aamir, who doesn't consider himself much of a dancer, needs some time to prepare himself. The idea is to be one-up on the moves that Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai shared in Dhoom 2."

Apparently, the filmmakers are currently studying the storyboard to figure out when to introduce the item number, which will be shot in March 2012.

Katrina kaif as Chikni Chameli hottest item song

The much awaited item number 'Chikni Chameli' from Karan Johar's film AGNEEPATH is out. You can't stop bulging your eyes or drooling over while watching Katrina Kaif's raunchy, bawdy moves in the song.

If 'Sheila ki Jawani' was hot, Chikni Chameli is hottest item song of Katrina Kaif!

It seems after spending a good 7-8 years in Bollywood and with 3 item numbers Katrina Kaif has caught the pulse of the audiences of how and when to entice. From hanging to a chandelier to lighting a matchstick by rubbing on her chikni body to flaunting pahua (carrying a bottle) on her naazuk kamar Katrina gyrates the song with her sexy adayein.

Dressed as Maharashtrian mulgi, Katrina looks nothing less than terrific.

'Chikni Chameli' is the remake of popular Marathi song 'Kombdi'. The song also features Hrithik Roshan, who plays Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, gives a serious angry look, while the bald Kancha Cheena played by Sanjay Dutt stares at Katrina.
