Fardeen Khan talks about the remake of Feroz Khan’s Qurbani.
We have already announced the remake of Qurbani. I am planning to play my father’s role. It is a contemporary subject which despite being 25 years old, holds true even today. The plot and the characters are contemporary. We have received tremendous reactions just with the announcement of the film. Let’s hope for the best.

Fardeen is now looking forward to his forthcoming film ‘Pyaare Mohan’, slated for April 21 release. So how was it working with Viveik Oberoi?
I am Pyaare who is blind and he is Mohan, who is hearing-impaired. It was a great experience working with Viveik. We shared a great rapport, which extends on the screen and reflects in our work. It was a difficult role. We had to maintain the continuity and react accordingly at all times. I think we make a great team together. (more…)

Malamaal Weekly – no maldar comedy

Director: Priyadarshan
Credited cast: Riteish Deshmukh, Rimi Sen, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal and Arbaaz Khan

Comparing Priyadarshan’s previous track record (Hera Pheri, Hungama, Hulchul, Garam Masala) of hit comedies, Malamaal Weekly fails to tickle your funny bones. The story of the movie is very confusing as the sub plots keep interfering in the main plot. Also, apart from some funny dialogues, which are mainly kept for Paresh Rawal and Om Puri, the rest of the movie seems plain. The movie that is stuffed with comic maestro such as Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Om Puri and upcoming comic actor Ritesh Deshmukh (Bluffmaster, Masti, Kya kool Hai Hum), has featured below par performances of each actor.

Story:
Malamaal Weekly starts with sutradhar Naseeruddin Shah’s narration of a small drought affected village where people are fighting for survival from poverty, poor harvests and a Thakurani called Karamkali (Sudha Chandran) and her brother Baijey (Rajpal Yadav) who harass the poor illiterate villagers by squeezing excess interest from them. These people are barely able to make ends meet. (more…)
