Director Indra Kumar who has tickled viewers with his previous works like Dil and Masti has come up with new laughathon - Pyare Mohan which is about two disabled friends who wins over their handicap to save their love ladies from a difficult situation along with fun and comedy. Obviously the film wanted to give a message that even disable people can face life happily and courageously. So Indra Kumar made an amusing movie with a serious tone to it. The director’s intentions were beautiful but the outcome is somewhat confusing.

The good news is that Pyare Mohan has good dose of comedy to make you dizzy but the bad news is it also becomes serious at times to actually make you feel guilty that you are laughing at their disability. It seems like the director was himself confused weather to handle the issue with humor or with concern.

Story:
Pyare Mohan (Fardeen Khan, Viveik Oberoi) are two friends who use to be stuntmen in a film company initially but having met with an accident on the sets, Pyare loses his vision while Mohan goes deaf. Alone, they are like any other disable person who get into mess from time to time but together, they are tough spoons who compliment each other in their needs. Pyare becomes Mohan ears and Mohan becomes Pyare’s eyes. This way they are living their life happily. They own a gift shop and they sell love cards. They might be happy but both of them yearn for a girlfriend who understand them and love them genuinely. (more…)

In her forthcoming venture ‘Ankahee’ Esha Deol is plays the role of Miss Universe who falls in love with a married man. And Esha herself has nothing against extra-marital affairs.

How does she feel about her role in Ankahee?

I was thrilled about being given a lot of attention, which I think I deserve. And the character is exactly like me, or any typical Scorpio - expressive, confident and yes, a tad obsessive. I loved being dressed up as Miss Universe. I thought that with my athletic body I could pass off as a tennis player, but a beauty queen? That was tough.

I could also relate to the character because I play a lonely girl. When I entered the industry, I was completely clueless. I was like a mannequin - people came and did whatever they wanted to. A woman completely ruined my eyebrows. Now I am much smarter. Today if someone even wags his finger at me, he’s had it. You have to be street smart in this industry.

But ‘Ankahee’ seems to justify extra-marital affairs?

You can’t justify falling in love. Love is love. I don’t have anything against extra-marital relationships - I am all for it. (more…)

He is practicing six hours a day for the concert that will tour the United States, Canada and Europe next month, his brother Sohail Khan told. “He’s concerned about delays in the Rock Stars concert and is making every effort to get his schedules back on track.

Goa is beautiful and I can stay here all my life. We all are having a blast here, and even before you ask, I am not fighting with any of my co-actors on the sets.

Yes, she (Reema) understands a woman's psychology well. Even before we could speak she would understand. That's the fun of working with a woman director. There are so many women in the cast too. (more…)
