MUMBAI (Reuters) - A new Bollywood film about a plane hijacking involving a separatist militant outfit echoes the real life hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane in 1999.
But “Hijack”, directed by Kunal Shivdasani, will focus on a rescue operation conducted by lead actor Shiney Ahuja inside the aircraft — something that did not happen in the Kandahar case.
“It may seem similar to that of the Kandahar hijacking case but ‘Hijack’ is a purely fictional film,” Shivdasani told Reuters.
“We are not pointing fingers at the Kandahar hijackers or which group was responsible behind the incident.”
Five armed men hijacked the Airbus A-300 carrying 189 passengers and crew between Kathmandu and New Delhi on Christmas Eve in 1999. The plane touched down in western India, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates before landing in Kandahar in Afghanistan.
The hijackers killed one passenger early in the week-long stand-off, but the remaining passengers and crew walked free after India released three Kashmir separatist militants from jail.
India said the hijackers, who were never caught, were all Pakistani and accused Pakistan’s government of complicity in the hijacking, charges it denied.
British-born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, one of the freed militants, was later convicted and sentenced to death by a Pakistani court for his role in the murder in 2002 of Daniel Pearl, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal.
“My film is thoroughly commercial and if people come to watch my film due to similarity of the film’s plot to that of Kandahar incident, (it’s) good for us,” Shivdasani said.

Seven months suspicion wedlock, Bollywoord Queen and Hindi movies superstar Aishwarya recommends everybody to actualize married.
Its highly tough to articulate, settle it un-befriended in true a few sentences considering its obviously a very, extraordinarily agreeable and chipper predicament and I strongly recommend it, she said when asked about her feelings of being a married woman.
Well, its a foxy chapter in my proposition and its a unhinged standard of the journey. Id develop (it) to every one of you out here and I am blissfully happy. What more can one say, baby doll added.
Aishwarya and Abhishek high the knot in April, and pains analysts are the hottest and incomparable lucrative tag on of Bollywood.
They are compared with Angelina and Brad Pitt of Hollywood.
Every change of this clasp is scrutinized and viewed subservient the microscope. They score the extremely glory every where they go.

The 40 year-old man, identified as Murugesh, had climbed up the pole and made wild demands.
High-voltage suicide excitement ends safe and sound
- A suicide attempt by a 40-year-old Indian was thwarted by Dubai Police on Friday afternoon after over 15 hours of dialogue. Murugeshan, a helper from the southern Indian city Chennai, was rescued at 12.45pm. He was detained by the Dubai Police for interrogation.
- The high voltage drama began on Thursday evening around 9.30pm when Murugeshan climbed atop a 30-metre, 32 KV cable tower after drinking alcohol.
- Electricity through the cable was cut off and officials from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) rushed to the spot along with Civil Defence personnel, police and para-medics.
“It was nerve-racking. The weather was chilly. The man had perched himself on top of the cable tower. We tried to persuade him to get down and not to try something foolish. He was just not in a mood to listen. Senior officials from Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence and a team of paramedics kept vigil under the tower,” said Captain ,Air and Fire rescue, Dubai Civil Defence.
“Murugeshan wanted to speak to his relative. He was making wild demands and changing his mind in minutes,” said Al Rahoomi.
- Murugeshan has been working in the UAE for three months and consumed alcohol. He is married with four children. Murugeshan had first demanded a piece of land on which he wanted to built a factory.
- After smoking two cigarettes, speaking to a relative on the mobile and sipping some water, Murugeshan finally agreed to be rescued at 12.45pm.
- He was brought down handcuffed and was immediately whisked off to the Bur Dubai police station.
- Consuming liquor in this part of Arab country is itself outlawed, and Murugesh has wrecked the law by ingestion of liquor and used public possessions with no good reason for his imprudent demands, he is probably likely to get a good reprimand for the action, as this is UAE where each person is accountable for their action and conduct, dissimilar to India where citizens are left scot-free for all deeds of these stuff.

Top songs
Last year’s top song was definitely Beedi Jalai Le. Its trendy folk-flavour floored everyone in 2006. This year, Chak De India’s anthem was by far the best song of the year. The singer Sukhvinder Singh, who also had a major role in Beedi’s success, has thus received top of the year honors twice.
Remixes
The painful glut of remixes has slowed down, though not stopped entirely. Now, composers include remixed versions on the original albums before anyone else has a chance to manipulate the tunes. In short, this trend is a lesser of the two evils.
Top 10 Songs
Amidst largely similar-sounding songs, a few songs made a difference.
-
Chak De
(Chak De India) Sukhvinder Singh
-
Aankhon Mein Teri
(Om Shanti Om) KK
-
Jabse Tere Naina
(Saawariya) Shaan
-
Halke Halke
(Honeymoon Travels) Neraj Shridhar
-
In Dinon Dil Mera
(Life In A… Metro) Soham
-
Kitni Der Tak

(Shootout at Lokhandwala) Mika Singh
-
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
(Jhoom Barabar Jhoom) Shankar Mahadevan
Top 5 Albums of the year
1. Khoya Khoya Chand by Shantanu Moitra
2. Life In A Metro by Pritam
3. Saawariya by Monty Sharma
4. Om Shanti Om by Vishal-Shekhar
5. Delhi Heights by Rabbi Shergil
ARTISTE’S CHOICE
- Shankar Mahadevan
“I think our work, as composers,in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (he was a part of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composer-trio for JBJ) was appreciated, even though the film did not do well at the box-office. As a singer, I enjoyed singing its title song. I am happy to explore different music genres on different soundtracks.”
- Shreya Ghoshal
“Luckily, this year I managed to sing quite a few good songs such as the title song of Cheeni Kum, the slow version of Tara Rum Pum, the item number Yeh Ishq Haaye and the semi-classical Chhand Re. In Khoya Khoya Chaand, I enjoyed singing Thirak Thirak, a duet with Sonu Nigam, where I received specific instructions not to go overboard. I also sang Chale Aao Sainya, which was a good classical number.”
- Shaan
“I loved the title-songs of Johnny Gaddar, Aankhon Mein Teri, Om Shanti Om and the romantic duet – Bol Na Halke from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Among my own efforts, I liked Jabse Tere Naina from Saawariya and Yeh Pyar Kya Hai – the romantic ballad from Marigold.”

The long journey of Saif Ali Khan- from the soiled bud of a nawab family to one of Bollywood’s largely multitalented actors and a serious challenger for the No.1 dot, he has truly emerged successful at the turnstiles.
After Saif’s debut in Umesh Mehra’s “Aashiq Awara” a well-known columnist wrote, “Put a dupatta on Saif’s head and he looks like Sharmila Tagore.”
But reacting to comments of that sort Saif said recently, “My detractors and their harsh comments have been my greatest incentive to prove myself.”
Saif almost always ends every scrutiny cautiously. No wonder it took him so long to appreciate his importance. “But do I really know my worth today?”
Yes, Saif has his mother Sharmila Tagore. But moms, as experience tells us, don’t count in Bollywood. If they did, Nutan’s son Mohnish Behl would’ve been the hugest superstar on the block.
There’re stories about how insecure he would get on the sets of Karan Johar’s “Kal Ho Naa Ho”. But Saif denies them.
saif says, “You know I get paranoid about every movie. I knew from the start that Shah Rukh would be the pivot of the film. But I knew I had great lines and a great role. I was never made to feel Shah Rukh was more important to the project. I went with very clear expectations. It was a civilised unit. Everyone was young and fun. I didn’t feel like an outsider at all. I never did, though I was from outside Mumbai.”
Now, the actor seems to be enjoying his newfound status as a leading man to the hilt.
“Omkara” was definitely a new beginning. When Vishal Bahradwaj zeroed in on him to play the Indian Iago, Saif was, as usual, unsure. He never says an outright yes to any role, not even when it comes to a film like Farhan Akhtar’s “Dil Chahta Hai”. That film clearly was the turning point in his career.
Siddharth Anand, Saif’s good friend, gave Saif’s career as a leading man a extra enhance with “Salaam Namaste”. Siddharth thinks Saif is continuously doing roles that confront him to make his existence felt.
Living in the moment he is more peaceful than ever before and hogging the public interest for his suspected issue with Kareena Kapoor.
“On the sets of ‘Omkara’ people would say there were four National Award winners. My first impulse would be to wonder who was the fourth after Vishal, Ajay Devgan and Konkona Sen. Then I’d realise, ‘Oh shit, the fourth National Award winner is actually me!’”
Saif has the final word. “I may seem like a bundle of contradictions most of the time. But there’s a method to my madness which is apparent only to me a lot of times.”
*************************
Kareena thrilled about jump from gloomy to smirk
Critics are rampant about her new film “Jab We Met”, a full-on comedy, but Kareena Kapoor is looking self-assured to another laughton “Phir Golmaal”.
“I guess I didn’t have the chance to have fun with my roles before ‘Jab We Met’. That’s why I’m looking forward to ‘Phir Golmaal’. It’s my chance to pull out all stops.”
After playing the free-spirited sardarni (Sikh woman) from Bathinda, Punjab, in “Jab We Met”, she’s all set to do a comedy in the “Golmaal - Fun Unlimited” sequel entitled “Phir Golmaal” where she teams up with Ajay Devgan after the very serious Shakespearean tragedy “Omkara”
The reaction to her performance in comedy film “Jab We Met” has been unique.
“The only other film I’ve felt so good about in recent times is ‘Omkara’. The director Imtiaz Ali has brought out the playful, extroverted side of me. While I was quiet, subdued and withdrawn in ‘Omkara’, in ‘Jab We Met’ I’m in my full elements. This character is really close to my heart. I think from my heart and like to speak my mind openly. And what I liked about this role was the amount of fun we had while travelling and shooting.”
“I think that enjoyment during shooting has shown up on screen. Everyone who has seen ‘Jab We Met’ has been appreciative,” says Kareena.
*************************
Preity Zinta: gritty by all means
Preity Zinta is one of the heroine in the Bollywood who has played the unwed mom twice, once at the beginning of her career in “Kya Kehna” and then again in the middle of her career.cheeky “Salaam Namaste” and “Jhoom Barabaar Jhoom” are the midriff of her body of work.
Is Preity seeing Ness Wadia? Of course she is! And she’s certainly not hiding her love under demure pretences. She loves to be in love. And she doesn’t need to hide it. But there’s just that diminutive bit of aloofness and moderation about her personal life.
“It isn’t right for me to let the world know what I’m doing every minute ofthe day. Every human being is entitled to a space where no one comes between me and myself, not even a spouse,” says Preity.
Preity impulsively makes all the right choices in life without compromising with her ideology.
For five years after Mani Ratnam’s “Dil Se†Preity and Shah Rukh didn’t star together because of a difference of opinion.
“My first release ‘Dil Se’ was with him. We didn’t work together thereafter. There was a bit of misapprehension. We weren’t aggressive or anything. We both stood our ground. I think we just let each other be,” Preity told me after she signed “Kal Ho Naa Ho” with Shah Rukh.
Actor, campaigner and newspaper columnist (she was writing a column on the film industry for BBC.com), Preity waltzes through all her roles in life artlessly. Whether playing the martyr in “The Hero” or the vamp in “Armaan”, she seems to enjoy every minute of her character’s survival.
Repressed (”Kal Ho Naa Ho”) or boisterous (”Salaam Namaste”), here’s an actress who knows her mind and workout it constantly to improve herself.
“I love to live for the moment. But I don’t let the moment take over my life. I love a clean city, home and heart, not automatically in that order,” says the bubbly Preity.

Another reality show is in the anvil and as NDTV Imagine and Contiloe present a new musical entertainer, ‘Say Shaava Shaava’ from January 2008. Karan Johar will be the judge. Ali Asgar will be the host the show.
 
At the launching of the show, CEO, NDTV Imagine, Sameer Nair said, “We promised you freshness and innovation and we’re delivering that promise. ‘Say Shaava Shaava’ is an outright entertainer. The contestants are established stars, who will use all their talent to impress Karan and the audiences. We’re thrilled to have Karan on the show and I’m certain that he will bring his own brand of entertainment to his role as judge.â€
Indiscreetly, on his new facade as a judge, Karan Johar said, “It’s great to be back on television, albeit in a new avatar. It’s something I haven’t done before and I’m really looking forward to it. A word of advice to the 8 contestants – I’m looking to be entertained and delighted with every performance, so give me all that you’ve got!â€
The participants include Aman Verma, Apurva Agnihotri, Divyanka Tripathi, Juhi Parmar, Mouni Roy, Narayani Shastri, Pulkit Samrat and Sumeet Raghvan.
“This is something different from our daily routine and it keeps me fresh. I’m here to learn something not to win. The hectic shooting schedules do not allow me to rehearse but I’m trying my level best,†alleges Divyanka.
Sumeet who was most recently seen in Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai is also very energised with his new venture on Imagine. “There are two reasons for taking up the shows. Firstly it’s related to music and secondly all the telly stars are going to share space. I’ll be singing after seventeen years so it’s very exciting and at the same time I’ll be able to meet different actors,†he explains.
“I liked the concept of the show. The way Imagine has launched the show and the overall presentation looks fresh and exhilarating. I use to sing here and there but this is going to be the first time that I will sing on such a big platform. There is nervousness but I’m thrilled. I feel I’m in a creative process,†the Bengal beauty Mouni Roy reacted when asked by bestdesi.com.
As audiences confound to gear up and catch another different reality show ,we do trust this is the greatest foreman of them all.

Balaji Tele Films a.k.a Ekta Kapoor is getting accomplishment in Arab countries through her daily soaps.
“That’s because we’ve decided to make soaps for the Gulf countries. As it is, they watch pirated versions of our Indian soaps, so I decided, why not make serials separately for the Muslim world?” says the thrilled Ekta.Â
Creation of Ekta’s new brain-wave moderately was easy because of her super-popular Gujarati culture-specific soaps like “Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” are easily adaptable into a Muslim vibes.
According to Ekta, “Whether it’s a Gujarati business family or a Muslim business family, the themes are interchangeable. But the characters and their names, clothes and environment are variableâ€. Â
“Think of how popular these Gulf-produced serials would be when my “Kyunkis” and “Kasautis” are so popular in Pakistan and the Gulf countries. “
“It’s a new and bold step for us. I love challenges. What’s life without them”? By making Muslim socials I’ll have the entire Indian, Pakistani and Middle East population watching my soaps. We hope to have 2-3 soaps on air in 2008 from our Gulf office,” said the overconfident Ekta.

Mammotty and Mohanlal leave apart teenagers!
(Mammoty and Mohanlal)Malayalam cinema superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal meet head-on desperate times. They have enjoyed box-office domination for over 20 years but those glorious days seem to be past.
All their films in the last two years have flopped forcing Malayalam filmmakers to look for newer, younger heroes.
I think apart from hardcore fans everybody like good movies, whether they are having so called super stars or not.
Mammootty should be a poignant 60 and it may be difficult for the star to continue getting romantic roles. Viewers are tired of seeing these grand papas chasing these young petites, around bushes and tress who look comparable to their grand-daughters A movie reflects values of that society and way of life. Mammooty and Mohanlal need to retire and give the younger guys a chance to showcase their talents. Something must be done to change this .Do a survey-see how fans feel about this.
Sooner or later this whole M&M bandwagon will come to end. The old will be replaced by new ones. And actors like Prithvi, Indrajit and many others will pave their way and should be welcomed to find their forte in the viewers. Whether we like it or not,Mammotty’s and Mohanlal’s restraint are becoming noticeable.
On a second note, malayalam movie makers should stop thinking that M&M are the only ways to make a movie. If not we will see movies like ‘Bus Conductor’ and ‘Maha Samudram’. It is a big question whether this industry will survive after 10yrs from now.
It is time for the Keralites to think something beyond the two MMs. Kerala film industry is blessed many good young actors. It is irony that the movies by young heros becoming the highest grosser of all times in Kerala.
For non-resident malayalees , movies are the only way to keep in touch with the Malayalam language as such. But after seeing and enjoying movies of many action hero Hindi movies, nobody would really be paying attention to the gigantic oversize old mohanlal and mamotty with tiny elusive teenagers. This is the time for change, hence bye bye oldie superstars!
