RE: January 2008 - News - 13

24th Jan 2008 23.30 IST

Besides some spine-tickling humour, this Friday’s release Sunday also promises breathtaking action.

Those who know director Rohit Shetty’s idea of entertainment know well that the guy is definitely going to blow up some cars in his film. In Golmaal he blew a dozen cars for an action sequence. And now he has gone further in his latest flick ‘Sunday’.

The film has a gritty car chase sequence in which as many as 19 cars were blown during shooting.

The shooting took place partly in Delhi’s Pragati Maidan and partly on the streets. More than 100 cars were used to create the traffic. The scene showed the film’s leading men Ajay Devgan , Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan being chased by goons in cars. Arshad plays the taxi driver.

Rohit, who is the son of yesteryear action director Shetty, says all the precautions were taken to ensure the safety of the actors. But still, the sequence was so risky that he was nervous and worried while shooting it.

A variety of sets were erected around a wide road to recreate a bustling city. Hundreds of people were involved in the shoot. There were multiple camera set-ups to capture shots from different angles. About 1.5 crore rupees were spent in shooting the entire sequence.

And over the period of days during which the sequence was canned, 19 cars were blown to smithereens using controlled explosions.

Rohit says it is one of the best car chase sequences audiences would see in Hindi cinema.

‘Sunday’ is a suspense thriller with a good dose of comedy and action. The film stars Ayesha Takia in the female lead.

Last week's movies
HALLA BOL had opened on a lower side but showed an upward trend over the weekend. Still as the week progressed, the film couldn't sustain itself and the result was that in spite of a huge release (over 700 cinemas), the film could only net around 11.5 crores. Poor. Reported collections from the city of Mumbai barely crossed the 1 crore mark while Delhi too was far from impressive, as indicated by the figure of 75 lakhs in collections.

This Rajkumar Santoshi-Ajay Devgan-Pankaj Kapoor film has turned out to be one of the unfortunate box office failures in recent times. A good film which deserved to do far better than what it has eventually done, HALLA BOL would be out on DVDs soon. Hopefully audience would catch the film there and appreciate it's content. A film for the masses, HALLA BOL did get cheers, whistles and claps by those who watched it but sadly number of such people was on the lower side.

Even though HALLA BOL would go down as a glorified failure, MY NAME IS ANTHONY GONSALVES won't achieve even an iota of that as it has turned out to be a disastrous cinematic beginning for newcomer Nikhil Dwivedi. With only 60 lakhs coming from the first week, MNIAG has been discontinued from majority of cinemas and would see a very quick DVD release. A lost cause, the film had pathetic collections all over, whether Mumbai (14 lakhs) or Delhi (4 lakhs).

In the future
2008 drought should be finally over with SUNDAY. The film promises to be a sure shot masala entertainer and the multi starrer feel is generating very good vibes. Director Rohit Shetty has a pulse for making massy movies, as evidenced in ZAMEEN and GOLMAAL and SUNDAY seems to be no exception. A comic thriller with a fine finish to it, SUNDAY seems to be just the right meal for Bollywood lovers who have been hungry for catching hold of an entertaining flick ever since the Christmas release of WELCOME and TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. Expect a 70%-80% start for this Ajay Devgan, Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi, Ayesha Takia flick.

It is raining stars on BIG 92.7 FM, India's No.1 FM network as powerhouse talented & versatile celebrity actors like Ajay Devgan along with the sultry actress Ayesha Takia visited the BIG 92.7 FM Mumbai studios for interactions with callers & fans across the city on their soon to be released movie SUNDAY. The two actors were heard having a rollicking time on-air interacting with listeners and discussing interesting tid-bits about their latest movie on Mumbai's very own breakfast show 'BIG Chai' with RJ's Archana Jani & Vrajesh Hirjee. The on-air interactions were a huge hit with listeners flooding the phone lines with caller requests for an opportunity to speak with their favorite stars. There were lots of interesting on-air content planned as they interacted with listeners of BIG 92.7 FM.

Ajay Devgan, who is also known to be popular prankster, was taken by a huge surprise when one of the callers who posed to be a pesky caller was none other than actor-comedian Arshad Warsi. Some of the lucky BIG 92.7 FM listeners had a blast at the meet & greet today hosted by BIG 92.7 FM with Ajay Devgan & Ayesha Takia as they interacted with them, signed autographs, played games and posed for photographs with them.

BIG 92.7 FM studios in Mumbai will further escalate the celeb quotient with none other than actor-combo of Arshad Warsi & Irrfan Khan visiting the studios tomorrow. Listeners can tune in to BIG 92.7 FM to listen to interesting tid-bits about the movie SUNDAY, and behind the scene action on the Station's popular breakfast show 'BIG Chai' followed interactions with the fans.

Joginder Tuteja, Bollywood Trade News Network

Ajay Devgan starrer SUNDAY would be seeing a reasonably well spread-out release when it hits the screens tomorrow. It would be arriving at around 475 prints.

Confirms Rohit Shetty, film's director, "The film would be releasing at close to 475 prints though there could be some plus or minus in the final count. Nevertheless, it is a good number and should ensure that the film gets a widespread release."

A comic thriller, the film is currently hot in the trade since it is the first high profile film of 2008. With industry being in red ever since the New Year began, all eyes are set on SUNDAY to bring back smiles on the faces of distributors and exhibitors alike.

Says the hopeful film maker, "Yes, I am aware that people are looking for some hardcore entertainment. In fact this is what I have been trying to convey through the promos as well. There are numerous comic elements in the film but if you look closely, the film is also what you call as an out and out commercial 'masala' entertainer. Don't just walk in expecting only comedy; there is a lot more in terms of action, suspense, 'naach-gaana' and the works to keep you engaged."

Prankster Ajay Devgan was at the receiving end for a change as Arshad Warsi pulled the proverbial fast one on him

Ajay Devgan’s co-stars have always found themselves at the receiving end of his infamous pranks but this time the tables were turned. Arshad Warsi gave Devgan a taste of his own medicine while giving interviews on a radio channel yesterday.

Calling Ajay

Says director Rohit Shetty, whose film Sunday releases tomorrow, “He was chatting and talking about Sunday with all viewers at a radio channel yesterday when one obnoxious guy called in and started asking Ajay all sorts of stupid and weird questions in rustic Hindi.

He spoke with a coarse accent and asked Ajay ‘gaadi kaunsi chalaate hai aap’? So when Ajay said Maserati, the guy said why are you abusing your mother ‘maa ki raat ki?’ Ajay kept his cool and kept answering patiently. Then he asked how much petrol Ajay’s car needs on an average every day.”

That wasn’t all. “The guy told Ajay rudely, ‘Don’t come on two bikes for each film of yours, it doesn’t suit you’ so Ajay explained to him he does what the director tells him but in real life he doesn’t travel like that. Finally, when the guy told him ‘mujhe aap ke paas driver ka naukri milega kya?’ very rudely, Ajay looked very irritated and was about to blow his cool.

That’s when I stepped in and told Arshad to stop playing a fast one on Ajay. Ajay realised Arshad was the same obnoxious guy and he burst out laughing. We finally made a bakra out of Ajay. But he took it in good spirit and told Arshad ‘chal tereko milta hoon mein kal’.”
Sunday will be Ajay and Arshad’s second film together after Golmaal.

Rohit says, “There is great chemistry between them both on and off screen. They get along very well and are great friends. Every time masti-mazak karte rahte hai set pe. While Ajay plays a corrupt cop, Arshad plays a Haryanvi cab driver in Sunday. There is a particular scene when Ajay goes undercover and hides in Arshad’s cab.

Arshad thinks Ajay is gay and starts fighting with him. The scene was so hilarious that we had to stop shooting for a while. We could not stop laughing!”

Actor Ajay Devgan, who usually stays away from film promotion and unnecessary spotlight, this time is using the radio to reach his audiences.

It seems that Ajay has now realised the importance of film promotion.

The actor along with his director Rohit Shetty interacted with the fans on radio at the BIG 92.7 FM studio for promoting their movie 'Sunday'.

It was part of a promotional campaign for their ready for release film. Devgan interacted with listeners and discussed the movie that hits theatres this Friday.

Devgan interacted with people on show 'BIG Chai' with RJ's Archana Jani and Vrajesh Hirjee.

'Sunday' is a romantic thriller with comic scenes. It features Ajay Devgan, Ayesha Takia, Arhsad Warsi and Irrfan Khan.

The story revolves around a single 'Sunday' that goes missing from Ayesha Takia's life, and the mystery of what happened that day.

Quelle: http://www.saharasamay.com/samayhtml/art...px?newsid=93467

No longer a man of few words, Ajay Devgan speaks out on “Sunday” and the days beyond.

Most journalists knew Ajay Devgan as a man of few words till a few years ago. He used to come across as a very shy guy, having no ‘funkiness’ to boast of except a half-tucked, transparent, trendy shirt with a chain peeping through it. With his cigarette and eyes lowered, he would barely look into the interviewers’ eyes and answer their queries in monosyllables, politely though. A picture of dignity, Ajay would barely lose his cool except when he had to answer the same question again and again to different channels for that “exclusive” shot.

And here is a new Ajay, no longer a man of few words. He may seem to be hurrying up his answers, but he answers them nonetheless. A good speaker is a journalist’s delight and so is an honest and forthright one. One who calls spade a spade. In Ajay, these traits are showing prominently, and hence, now, he qualifies well for this category of a journalist’s delight.
Strong roles

He just proved his worth as a great actor in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s “Halla Bol” in which he matched up to Pankaj Kapoor. “Ours were the only two strong roles in it,” Ajay takes it graciously. Now it’s “Sunday” directed by Rohit Shetty, in which he dons the garb of a cop after three years. Says Ajay, “This is one of the most interesting comedies I have ever heard of. I would call it a conceptual comedy.” The crux of the story is taken from a hit Telegu movie “Anukokunda Oka Roju” staring Jagapati Babu and Charmi Kaur in the lead.

Admits Ajay, “We have taken only a thought from that film, that is, a Sunday goes missing from a young girl’s life, and turned that into a comedy. In Telugu, it’s a serious film with some suspense elements which come when something wrong happens in the girl’s life. In “Sunday”, this missing Sunday is linked with several other small incidents and characters that add spice to the story. Thrill, humour and suspense elements have been added. It’s actually about a girl (Ayesha Takia), who finds she cannot recollect where she was on a particular Sunday when a murder took place. And I make an entry here as cop Rajvir Randhava, to find that missing Sunday in her life. But Rajvir is a corrupt cop who lets the criminal go off after taking a hefty bribe,” laughs Devgan.

This is practically his second comedy film in which he himself is not doing any comic acts. “The fun element in the film is woven into situations. In my role it’s in the part where I dodge the criminal by taking a bribe on the pretext of letting him off but I actually don’t do that. I ‘lighten’ his punishment in lieu of money,” explains Ajay.

These days, Ajay is on a high thanks to the applause he got for “Halla Bol”. Many producers have started looking up to him again. “I choose my role very cautiously now. Earlier I have done quite a few films that didn’t meet the audiences’ approval. Sometimes I regret it, sometimes I don’t. It’s an interesting journey where we all, in the film industry, fight, and reconcile again like members of a good family,” says Ajay pointing at Bollywood’s preferential treatment to only rising stars. And in this journey, he thinks, the entrance of corporate money has made a difference. “But they don’t have an idea of filmmaking. If they knew it, they wouldn’t have come to us for finding producers and directors. They only know business. I think they should keep off the script; else they should become directors themselves. I don’t quite agree with the idea that if some corporate house funds your film, it has the right to interfere in your script too,” Ajay asserts.

Ajay must know, for he himself is turning producer-director for his home production “You, Me aur Hum” in which he is starring, opposite Kajol. The mention of the film brings a chuckle to his voice. “I had certain thoughts I wanted to share with people. Various incidents in life have taught me that one cannot live with ‘I’ or ‘you’ for a long time. Unless ‘you’ and ‘me’ become ‘we’, life treats you sorely. Love in life comes only when ‘I’ and ‘you’ melt into ‘we’. This is the message in the film. This thought is woven in a love story of a couple whose life goes through different stages in time. The growth of the characters comes through experiences and their physical age,” explains Ajay who has started shooting for the film and is planning to release it by the year-end.
Not an exciting idea

Is the idea of being behind the camera scary? “No, for two reasons, One, I have been assistant director earlier, and two, I am taking the entire responsibility of the film. That I am the captain of the ship is not as exciting an idea as it is to realise that there is no interference in what I am doing. I am investing my own money and my own direction skills. Whether the film is good or bad, it is mine.”

If “Naam”, an action-thriller on mistaken identity being in the box for five years because of “some never-ending clash between producers”, saddens him (“I gave lot of time for it”), “Rajniti” brings back the lost smile. “I am very excited about this film by Prakash Jha. It’s about politics between students and local leaders. It would soon go on the floors,” he concludes.

2s’s Halla Bol review was a turn off to say the least. I mean we expect a lot out of Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan and Pankaj Kapur. I have to agree that the film was just about ordinary with nothing other than Pankaj Kapurs performance to look for. The film’s story though, seems to be inspired from the life of Safdar Hashmi, though its far from his real life story.
Safdar Hashmi
Anyone, living in Delhi and old enough during 1989 must know Safdar, as he was called by all. Safdar Hashmi lived for the masses. His street plays were all about social problems and uniting the country against beurocracy and inspired people to educate themselves. In 1973, 19-year-old Safdar co-founded the Jan Natya Manch (Janam), a people’s theatre group affiliated to the Communist Party of India (Marxist). A `militant political theatre of protest’ is how the group described itself. Through its rousing, visionary street plays, the group sought to address issues of class and gender and religious sectarianism. He fought for issues like allowing women workers in factory and labour sites to bring their young children with them to work, so that while working they could also look after them.

According to the Hindu

In plays like Aurat, Machine, and Moteram ka Satyagrah, Janam would blend its biting political message with satire and song, and a whole new rapport with the audience.

On January 1, 1989, Safdar and his associates set out to perform a play called “Halla Bol” at Jhandapur village in Sahibabad, on the outskirts of Delhi. The play was a part of their campaign for Ramanand Jha, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU)-supported candidate in the Ghaziabad municipal elections. Mukesh Sharma, the Congress(I)-backed “independent” candidate, apparently unnerved by the impact the play was making on the workers of the area, went with a horde of armed goons and attacked Safdar’s group. Safdar suffered multiple fractures in the skull and there was brain haemorrhage. He succumbed to his injuries the next day. Even while facing the goons, he made sure that the women folk with the team safely escaped as he fought with the goons.

Fifteen thousand marched at his funeral on January 3, the largest funeral ever for a theatre artist in Delhi. Protest demonstrations swept the country, and several hundred thousand marched in dozens of cities and towns. Thousand voices screamed in unison - “Hamare Safdar Ko Lal salam” as they marched with his body to the cremation grounds.

According to the blog - Parallel Cinema

On January 4, less than 48 hours after his death, Moloyashree, Safdar’s comrade, companion and wife, led the actors of Jana Natya Manch to the site of the attack and completed the disrupted performance. The play was called ‘Halla Bol’.

Even after his death, his ideas have survived through his plays and songs. Now thats a real hero.

Saturday, January 26, 2008 - BO Report

After the flopping of Halla Bol, Ajay Devgan returns to try Halla with 'Sunday' this weekend. But it appears that here too the audience isn't buying.

Sunday the film opened to a 25% start on moderate screenings (more than Halla Bol but not much), improved to 40% on Saturday on account of it being the Republic Day. However much more was expected in terms of collections on this Holiday. Last year's Salaam-E-Ishq which too had a poor showing atleast had a near 100% Republic Day collections. And ironically for the film titled Sunday, its Sunday bookings are looking bad, looking in the range of 25-30%. Weak.

Meanwhile, past December's releases, Taare Zameen Par and Welcome are continuing on ranking the 2007 charts, with tax-exemption help in the case of Aamir Khan's TZP. Akshay Kumar's Welcome on the other hand has overtaken Om Shanti Om to emerge as 2007's top grosser with collections of over 110 crores gross across the country.

Jodha Akbar, among the high profile early 2008 releases now, meanwhile has been reported to be sold to Reliance for 90 crores. However insiders say that the deal may not fall through as happened with the music, and UTV may have to bear it.

Famous singer and music composer Raghav Sanchar is upset with filmmaker Rohit Shetty as the filmmaker didn't live up to his promise of letting him do an item number in Shetty's Sunday . Though the song was promised to Raghav, it was ultimately executed by actor Tusshar Kapoor.

A source informs us that Raghav was supposed to perform for an item song in Sunday . Everything from his costumes to the sets was ready and one night before the shoot, he got to know that it was Tusshar who was actually going to do it.

According to Raghav, during the recording of the same song, Rohit had promised to shoot the song with him. "Rohit had promised to let me do the item number during the recording of the song. So keeping that in mind I blocked my dates for the shoot. Everything was planned. I was informed about the shooting dates and suddenly one night before the shoot I was informed that Tusshar will be doing the song."

Raghav continues, "I was shocked and disappointed. Rohit's assistant director informed me that they wanted a known face to do that item number. I am not annoyed with Rohit but yes I am disappointed because I was really looking forward to it," says Raghav.

When contacted Rohit Shetty denied the news. He said, "No it's not true. Raghav is not at all upset; in fact he wants to do an item number for the post release promotion
of Sunday . He has composed and sung one song for Sunday . That song will be featured on him and will also be used for the promotion of the movie. Shibani Kashyap has also performed on a song sung by her."

Now will Raghav say yes to this promotional item number? We'll have to wait and watch.

Staying sassy, staying clever and staying steps ahead of the viewers….Sunday is a fiesta of scenes stitched together to create a harmony of hilarity. If being clever with the suspense element within the comic format is a hallmark of a workable film, then Sunday works.

Pieced together as a bizarre amnesiac day in the life of a forgetful frisky fey fraulein (Takiya, superbly sparkling), the format of narration is as old as the hills …or as old as Orson Welles' Citizen Kane where a journalist went from door to door trying to piece together the mysterious life of a dead star.

If Heath Ledger was Ayesha Takia, Sunday would be the fun version of Citizen Kane.There's a dead girl at the beginning of this pulverized plot to make you believe there's life beyond farce in the comic genre. She's shot down point-blank.

Blanked-out is how Saher (Ayesha Takiya) is as she gets embroiled in what seems to be a denouement reached in a narrative relay- race where every character holds the key to the girl's mysterious whereabouts on that fitful Sunday. What lifts the rather involved plot is the insouciant spirit. Everyone is running helter-skelter down the road parodic perdition with the purpose getting to the home base, so the plot wears a harnessed homogenized feel about it. Some of the comic bustle like Irrfan as Ravan running after a speeding car on the highway, is quite remarkable. Others, not quite the epitome of satire. But chalega. Cinematographer Aseem Bajaj captures Delhi with a locational luminosity. The bustle of the Capital is capitalized upon in a climate of comic nonchalance. And yet we get the touristic spots, specially the Lal Quila with the fresh enthusiasm of seasoned travelers exploring known territory with virgin enthusiasm.

The narration is tightly wound . Director Rohit Shetty avoids the inherent silliness of the comic genre by bringing the characters together in a see-saw of she-saw-she-saw-it-not. What happened to silly Saher or Sunday night? Do we really care? No! But the chase has its moments of humour, and this comedy is way ahead of the all-boys raunchy material that has been masquerading as genuine mirth in recent times. But it's nothing that you'd like to recommend as mandatory essential training for mirthful manoeuverings in the comic camp.

The campy humour includes a cabbie (Arshad Warsi) and a hammy struggling actor (Irrfan Khan) who get embroiled in Saher's Sunday -evening suspense. Warsi and Khan make the proceedings more perky bubbly and frothy than what the plot would have been in other less capable hands.

Blessedly there's no dearth of comic talent in this comedy of terrors. Even the usually-ferocious Mukesh Tiwari as the corrupt cop's sidekick gets in his satirical two-bit sideways. Then there's a gangster with squeaky voice who chases Takiya so hard you fear for his knees.

Takiya has a breathless pacy personality, here used to advantage as she goes through some endearing moments as a dubbing artiste who forgot to dub the lines of her life one Sunday.

As for Mr Devgan playing the eminently bribable cop, you can't bribe the audience into buying his attempts at the funny stuff.

Director Rohit Shetty gives us more reason to be happy than any other recent comedy. Which is not to say that Sunday is a hilarious romp. It evokes occasional giggles and spurts of laughter while eliciting some admiration for its unusual editing patterns. Bas, that's it.

Mumbai, January 25, 2008

Strange things keep happening to the unconventional Ayesha Takia. Last year she was meant to play only one role in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking. She ended up playing two.

This year she plays a dubbing artiste in Rohit Shetty's Sunday and dubs for a baby cheetah in Nikhil Advani's animation film.

"It's all so strange," Ayesha laughed. "When I decided to be part of Sunday, I just wanted to have fun after the serious Dor and even more serious No Smoking. And I did have loads of fun," Ayesha told IANS.

"But initially we hadn't chosen a profession for my character. When Rohit suggested a dubbing artiste I jumped at it. I don't think any heroine in our films has played a dubbing artiste," she added.

Being a natural mimic, Ayesha worked hard on getting her voices right for the role.

"I watched a lot of cartoons, but I found the voices very shrill and unnatural. I wanted to bring in a more natural tone to my voice. A professional dubbing artiste, Vikas, and the veteran sound recordist, Rakesh Ranjan, helped me with getting it right for my dubbing artiste's role."

Ayesha had great fun doing a number of voices in Sunday. But even more fun is her role as the baby cheetah in Advani's animation film.

"I get to speak for a cub named Yuvraj. Nikhil wanted me to dub in my natural voice. That was more fun than assuming an unnatural pitch. What added to the fun of this whole experience is that all of us who speak in Nikhil's animation film - Akshaye Khanna, Boman Irani, Govinda and me - sat together, worked on our dialogues at rehearsals and then Nikhil designed the film on our voices."

Tusshar Kapoor’s item number in Rohit Shetty’s Sunday has spawned a controversy.

No, the censors haven’t asked for it to be removed, nor are there any vulgar dance steps. It is, in fact, singer and composer Raghav Sanchar who has a problem with it. Apparently, Raghav was promised by Shetty that he would do the item song, and Ragav even fixed his dates and readied his costumes. Just the night before the shoot, the assistant director called up and informed him that Tusshar had been signed. Rohit, however, maintains that he wanted Ragav to do the ‘promotional song’. But we understand that Ragav isn’t in the mood to understand the real problem behind the entire situation.
