Two Articles in today's [ Sunday's Images ] paper about Atif... Quite interesting.. thought to share with you people =)
Article #1:-
Atif Aslam: to act or not to act
Sunday, 22 Nov, 2009 | 03:09 AM PST |
Okie dokie, artichokie… it was always on the cards, and has happened a
little later than expected. Apparently pop star Atif Aslam has been
offered a part in a Bollywood film and he doesn’t know what to do with
it. Therefore he has tweeted (yes he’s on Twitter) his fans to suggest
to him whether to nod in the affirmative or naysay the offer. So far
there is no news regarding what pearls of wisdom his fans have thrown
at the singer.
Given
that AA is not a tall guy and has a relatively scandal-free career with
no or little penchant for running around trees with a lass, it would be
best for him to keep singing Hum kis gali jaa rahe hain…
P.S... ATIF is neither on Twitter nor Facebook/Orkut.. all such profiles, groups are FAKE!!
Article # 2:-
This one is basically APGK's Review...
Frontseat: Mindless love
By Filmy
Sunday, 22 Nov, 2009 | 03:09 AM PST |
If I were to swear by the rave review given by the Times of India to
the recent Indian release, Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani (APGK), I
wouldn’t be able to tell what was the particular scene, dialogue or
moment where it earned the reviewer’s favour. Was it the dreamy Ranbir
Kapoor, the ravishing Katrina Kaif, the funny dialogue or the soft
backdrop set in Goa. All thrown together, the movie doesn’t seem to
come across as intended.
APGK
has garnered mixed reviews on domestic turf, probably because the story
is quite a hotchpotch: Prem (Ranbir), a good-for-nothing soul, falls
for good-in-everything Jenny (Katrina Kaif). Jenny loves Rahul, but her
parents want her to marry the moneyed Tony. Before Prem can muster
enough strength to blurt out loud to Jenny that he loves her, she tells
him that she loves someone else. She reaches the shadi ka mundap to
realise that she is not in love with Rahul who is more moneyed than
Tony, while (somehow) Prem was destined to rescue her passionate love
affair with Rahul from all kinds of aversion. It’s that messed up.
Director
Raj Kumar Santoshi seems to be struggling here despite his earlier hit
Andaz Apna Apna. APGK doesn’t seem to break new ground but it’s very
funny, and Ranbir has a fair (please don’t read rare) quality of acting
comedy roles very well. More films and more experience will teach him
how to do serious ones as well. He’s a ladies man, as critics deem him,
and his recent hit, Wake up, Sid! is a manifest to it. But has he
reached there? I think most fans would ask: where?
Katrina and
Ranbir together don’t seem to have much chemistry between them but
noticed separately, Katrina looks pertinently girlish in her looks in a
typical Goan environment while Ranbir acts the small-town simpleton
well. He will have to be on a constant lookout for an on-screen jori to
befit the sizzling pair of Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol. So far one doesn’t
find Ranbir sizzle with any other actress but Deepika Padukone. But
then, isn’t that pure coincidence that she is his girlfriend, too?
The
film is worth a watch for two very good reasons: Atif Aslam’s Tera
Honay Laga Hoon  and Katrina Kaif’s lovely mesmerising on-screen
presence. The soundtrack by Pritam, especially Tu Jane Na and Tera
Honay Laga Hoon, entertain better than the film itself as they fuse
nominally into the scenes. However, one could suffer the slapstick
comedy a second time round if (s)he was a huge fan of Katrina Kaif.
