Hijack the movie: Revisiting Kandahar
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.
Aishwarya On Her Marriage
Seven months suspicion wedlock, Bollywoord Queen and Hindi movies superstar Aishwarya recommends everybody to actualize married.
[singlepic=193,320,240,,]
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.
Wonder how nuptial is gladness for the girl when her stunt is subservient ergo supremely of scrutiny.
Veeru (Dharmendra in film Sholay) enacted by Murugesh of Dubai in real life
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 10 Songs and 5 Albums of 2007
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.

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."
