’Rrr’ has struck a chord with foreign audiences and its song, ‘Naatu Naatu’, with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, which awards the Oscars. Wish there was a category for choreography as well at the Oscars, for, I think, that has created the magic that ‘Naatu Naatu’ has become known for.
We had Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ and, later, Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, both of which made it big at the Oscars. We were thrilled about it. But they were not the products of any of the Indian film industries. They merely had India-related stories.
Quite a few other filmmakers tried for nominations at the Oscars
The earlier one was Mehboob Khan’s ‘Mother India’. They probably did not identify with a woman refusing to compromise even while her kids were starving. It was the post-World War II era and there were stories about women known to compromise...

This is film that misspells ‘News’ in its title, mispronounces ‘sperm’ and misrepresents everything to do with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for the sake of laughter. ‘Sperm’ ceased to be a dirty word in Hindi cinema after Vicky Donor. Now in Karan Johar’s full-on sex comedy Good Newwz the word is given constant currency. Except that it’s pronounced ‘spam’ by both Akshay and Diljit. I do hope there is an inside joke about that mispronunciation.
Laughter, it gets in abundance. The trailer proudly shows off the comic timings of Akshay Kumar (his third release in 2019), Kareena Kapoor Khan (her first attempt at a full-fledged comedy), Kiara Advani (who looks a bit like gatecrasher trying hard to join the party) and specially Diljit Dosanjh who is a hoot as the wannabe ‘cool’ dad. Whenever Dosanjh is on the screen in the trailer the narrative crackles with pleasure.

The last time when Akshay Kumar and Ashwini Yardi came together, the resultant was Omg Oh My God, which made the Bo windows also exclaim Oh My God! Well, this time round, the duo of Akshay and Ashwini is back with a film that's based on the life of (late) Dada Kondke, the very popular Marathi and Hindi star of the 70's era, whose double meaning dialogues have people rolling till now! Akshay and Ashwini have now bought the rights of the Anita Padhye's authored book Ekta Jeev, which happens to be Dada Kondke's biography. Talking about this, Padhye said that the film will be based on her book, (which was written in 1999) on the base of her communications with Kondke. Further details about the film are awaited.

To mark the remarkable contribution made by the Chaplin of Marathi cinema - Dada Kondke, was one of those rare persons in the industry who ensured that people enjoyed life through his films. He was criticised for his vulgarity and double meaning dialogue but that didn't deter him from carrying on, regardless. Now the noted book publisher company Penguin is included Dada Kondke in their new book titled "The Greatest Show on Earth" along with veteran Bollywood celebrities Dilip Kuma...
