10 Best Films to watch this father’s day!
Whether it is Nargis in Mother India or Nirupa Roy in Deewaar, Mama’s a scenestealer while Dad is just a shadow. Does anyone remember Raj Kumar or Satyen Kappoo in Mother India and Deewaar? Yet , there are films that have explored the Dad’s character with tender affection. Father’s Day special films
- Aamir Khan in Akele Hum Akele Tum: But you love me daddy, sang the child actor(Master Adil) to Aamir Khan.As a man suddenly thrust with the responsibility of looking after a little son after being abandoned by the lady of the family Aamir Khan was fabulously frazzled trying to get the eggs in the omelet and the buttons on the school uniform right. Though copied from a foreign source this Mansoor Ali Khan directed film was a rare instance of film that showed the father as the home maker.
- Amitabh Bachchan in Sarkar: Ram Gopal Varma is not known to invest too much time or space into building emotions in his films. In tight close ups and clenched moments of camaraderie Varma showed the bonding between the Big B and his son. The fact that the two actors were real-life father and son helped in giving a sharp focus to the relationship although very little was said between them.
- Naseeruddin Shah in Masoom: He was a bad dad. He had abandoned his one-night-stand girl after impregnating her. And now the child, as cute and vulnerable as a little puppy shows up at his doorstep. The father-son bonding scenes were filled with a credible camaraderie. The sequence where father and son trek together to the sound of Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi was remarkably resonant.
- Anupam Kher in Daddy: Portraying a wastrel of a father, drunk and unsuccessful and still getting your daughter to love you is not easy . Anupam managed to draw a beautiful balance between a man on the brink of self-destruction and a father redeemed by his love for his daughter. It was a beautifully balanced-out act, and one that managed to furnish dignity on the father’s character.
- Mehmood in Kunwara Baap: As a rickshawallah who plays parent to an abandoned child Mehmood brought tears to millions of eyes. When he sang the lullabye Aa ri aa ja nindiya to his screen son there was not a dry eye in the theatre. Whether combing his son’s hair or kissing his forehead Mehmood out-Nirupa Roy-ed all the screen mothers.Mehmood’s real-life son played his son on this sleeper hit.
- Salman Khan in Jab Pyar Kissise Hota Hai: He played a Casanova who sows his wild seats here there and everywhere. AdityaNarayan(singer Udit Narayan) shows up as Salman’s illegitimate son. Aditya gave Salman tit for tat in every scene.
- Akshay Kumar in Jaanwar: This was a very special father-son film where Akshay proved he could act. Playing a ruffian who is reformed when a child pops into his life Akshay’s tears flowed freely for his screen son. In real life Akshay’s father was terminally ill when he was playing father to little Aditya Kapadia on screen.
- Aamir Khan in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke: He played papa to his sister’s kids. There was pandemonium as he tried to balance out the breakfast for the noisy demanding brood with a 9 to 5 job and a fiancée who hated kids. Director Mahesh Bhatt showed the man going through what working women with family obligations have to go through all the time.
- Anil Kapoor in Mr India: Again, a very interesting reversal of traditional nurturing roles. Kapoor cast as a father to a brood of adorable orphans while Sridevi played the working woman who had no patience with kids.
- Shammi Kapoor in Bramhachari: The story of man who runs an orphanage and somehow earns enough to keep the kids well fed and clothed. The ‘yahoo’ Kapoor’s empathy with his screen children was superbly recreated in the kiddies having fun song Chakke pe chakka and the lullaby Main gaaon tum so jao. Shammi was also superb as a widower struggling to bring up his precocious little daughter in Ramesh Sippy’s Andaz.

Why On Earth Is Sushmita Sen Smoking A Cigar In Aarya’s First Look?

Season 3 of Aarya is being shot as you read this, and naturally Sushmita Sen is super-kicked about it, so kicked that she has put out a video where she is seen in the best Lady Boss version of herself.
Alarmingly, she is seen puffing away at a cigar, to complete her Badass Lady Boss image.
There was a time when women smoking cigarettes in Hindi cinema signaled vampishness. If a female actor was shown smoking it meant she had evil designs over the hero, and life in general.
Sushmita being Sushmita, a cigarette won’t do. A cigar it is, to go with her formidable image. The last Bollywood actor I saw smoking a cigar on screen was Premnath in the 1970s. Back then so many people didn’t die of cancer by smoking.
These are different far more dangerous and deadly times.
Sushmita is an iconic actor.She needs to be more careful about the image she projects . Smoking a cigar doesn’t enhance a woman’s(or a man’s) muscle power. Nor does it make her look cool.
About shooting for the third season of Aarya Sushmita says, “Aarya is synonymous with my name. I have lived as Aarya for two whole seasons and the love received by the audiences has only encouraged me to do more. Walking on the sets of Aarya Season 3 makes me feel at home and gives me a sense of empowerment. I’m grateful to the entire team at Disney+ Hotstar, Ram Madhvani Films and Endemol Shine India for the vision of creating Aarya and taking it to newer heights with every season.”

Shah Rukh, Deepika, John Will Meet The Media On Monday At 4 pm(But There’s A Catch)

Pathaan has effectually discredited the efficacy of media interactions to promote a film. The film’s lead actors Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham did not conduct any press or portal interviews to promote the film.
And yet Pathaan is a blockbuster.
This weekend the Pathaan producer Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films took a call on behalf of the Pathaan team to do one media meet at the Taj Land’s End in Mumbai on Monday January 30 at 4 pm.
The three principal actors and director Siddharth Malhotra will address the media.
But here’s the catch: the media will not be allowed to ask any questions. There will be no Q& A s or one-on-one interactions.This basically means that the Pathaan team will have an opportunity to say what it wants to the media. But the media will have no say.
Make what you will of this one-way traffic.
A source close to Yash Raj informs me that this is the pattern regarding the media that Yash Raj will follow for future releases: no press meets no promotional engagements.

Fake Projects of Pathaan Director Being Planted In Media

Siddharth Anand Denies Considering Any Project With Deepak Mukut
A word of caution to those marketing and publicity wizkids who think it’s okay to plant fake stories on (fake) projects with the Pathaan director.
It is not.
Such baseless announcements are meant only to raise the equity of the producers with whom Siddharth Anand’s name is linked. One such producer whose name has cropped up after the spectacular success of Pathaan is Deepak Mukut.
There were reports everywhere that Siddharth Anand’s next would be with Mukut.
Turned out to be a false rumour.
A source in the know informs, “Siddharth now has to complete Fighter starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone for Yash Raj.Then he is committed to direct the sequel to War 2 for Yash Raj films. They will then start work on the next film in the Pathaan franchise. There is no scope or room for any outside projects for Siddharth Anand. So every announcement that you read of a new film to be directed by Siddharth Anand for an outside producer is likely to be a hundred percent fake.”
When I asked Siddharth Anand about the supposed project with producer Deepak Mukut he promptly replied, “NOT AT ALL.”

Pink Director’s Next Featuring Yami As A Crime Reporter To Stream From February 16

Anniruddha Roy Chowdhury whose Pink featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu was one of the most important films of 2016, is all set to release his next Hindi film.
Entitled Lost, Anniruddha’s film , based on true events, will see Yami Gautam Dhar(that’s what the actress calls herself after her marriage) as a crime journalist. LOST is an emotional social thriller that represents a higher quest, a search for lost values of empathy and integrity.
Inspired by true events, Lost is a story of a bright young woman crime reporter in her relentless search for the truth behind the sudden disappearance of a young theatre activist.

Lost
Says Aniruddha “The shoot of LOST has been an incredible journey. I have been eager for the release of our hard-worked venture. The film is a realistic highlight of media in a social context and I am sure that it will give the audience a compelling watch. I am curious about its release and see the responses it shall get. I hope they will welcome it with open hearts.”
Yami Gautam Dhar who plays the lead of the crime reporter says, “I can’t be happier and more proud of the film’s selection for the opening night at CSAFF. I feel like its one that the people will connect to and will be the one that you cannot miss, especially in the current age and time. I have loved playing this role because it was such a special experience, it allowed me to explore so many layers of emotions as an actor and the entire team has worked really hard on it. I genuinely cannot wait for the film’s release, especially to see the reactions of the audience to it.”
The crime investigation drama boasts a stellar cast. Along with Yami, the film will feature Pankaj Kapur, Rahul Khanna, and an ensemble of younger talent, including Neil Bhoopalam, Pia Bajpai, and Tushar Pandey, in pivotal roles.
