Laaga Chunari ..... remake ?

Pradeep Sarkar's "Laaga Chunari Meing Daag" is rumoured the remade of K Balachander's 1977 film, "Aaina", starring Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz since the first trailer is released.This film is about a small town girl became prostitute to feed her big family and the director Sarkar claimed that he had not even watched the film.

But now another rumour comes out ! "Laaga Chunari..." closer resemblance to the Marathi film, Doghi (1995). Directed by Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukhtankar, the film stars Renuka Daftadar (playing Rani's character) and Sonali Kulkarni (playing Konkona's character). Doghi, meanwhile, is about two sisters. The elder sister takes to the streets in order to protect her younger sibling, and also care of her family. For this fact Pradeep's answer is interesting -

"I won’t say it is based, but it’s kind of inspired, though I haven’t seen the film, but I don’t think we have many similarities. I have admitted that it’s been inspired by the Marathi film, but not Aaina ."

Anyway the rumours come out in film industry is not a strange condition. But time to consider is not much far ! This Friday ! You go watch and enjoy the talented acting of Konkona, Rani and Jaya from "Laaga Chunari...."!

"I'm glad Vidya pulled out" :Konkona

Another interesting interview on Konkona for her comming release "Laaga Chunari Meing Daag" ! Interview facous on the fact Konkona was not the first choice for the role of Chukti in Laaga Chunari....

“Yes, I know Vidya (Balan) was supposed to do it, and she pulled out. To be frank, I’m glad she did, because I got to do a great role,”

For this statement I feel that she definitely get a good role in this movie. For me I personally love Vidya for her innocent beauty and cute face. But for performance Konkona is my favourite any way Mr. Sarkar will not get any regard for replacing Konkona to his muse Vidya !

Next Week Release !

Oh.... !
Next week will be the most excited week for me. Even though I will not free for the whole week , just think about my Friday Movie time will make me refresh ! Next week will release the much awaited "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" , But I am a bit afraid for the next big release "Bhool Bhuliyaa" ! And I need to worried that will Konkona get a good enough role for her talent. Anyway the time for decide is not too long and I think both film done well (I love Vidya Also ! )and Konkona have a god comparable role with Rani and may even get some awards for this movie.Hopefully !

Guest Post : My Feeling on a Song making as a Buddhist

I feel a bit unpleasant for the promos of "Bhool Bhulaiya" title song . The gypsy half-naked girls dance on the body of Buddha Statue ! I think this is too rude and no respect for Buddhist especially for this scene. We all have great respect to our respect Gods .in all religions . This song designer is really want to have so much fun and he even cannot take note on what he is doing .Surely he is not Buddhist but this is religious insult. I think Mr.Priyadarshan should take care for this religious matter even he want this Hindi Horror Movie . The Ghosts , Hindu, psychiatrist and Buddha has no connection and I cannot catch up your Idea of creating this song.

''Konkona and Irrfan will definitely be in "Life in a... Metro" ,sequel'' : Anurag Basu

This is the season of sequel in the cinemas. For now Anurag Basu plans the sequel to his super hit movie "Life in a Metro". We all have amazing watching time of Metro for all : about the actors , music and script. And Konkon and Irrfan pair had already the most favourite part of the film.
India Time article about this sequel. Mr. Basu says that -

"When I made Metro, the sequel to it was at the back of my mind. In fact, when I wrote the script, I wrote so much that it could have easily gone into two films. I ended up using only 25 per cent of it in Metro — the remaining was for the sequel. Now I’m improvising on it. Moreover Metro is not just a happening city; it’s also a showcase for changing lifestyles."

Another interesting question is "The original starred Shiney Ahuja, Shilpa Shetty, Kay Kay Menon, Kangna Ranaut, Sharman Joshi, Konkona Sen Sharma and Irrfan Khan; will he retain the same cast in the sequel?"

Mr. Basu: “I’m not sure about the rest, but Irrfan and Konkona will definitely be there. And I’m also going to use another band in this movie since the concept was such a hit in the original,”

Anyway if this film come, we will wait it with much hope and we will see what happen to the love marriage couple.

Making of "Kachchi Kaliyaan" !
