hindi movie In Farhaans own words, Lakshya is not about Kargil war. But it is a movie about a wayward young man finding direction and sense of purpose to his life. The movies story deals with the 'maturing' of a confused son of an affluent businessman into a man with clear aim in life. Life for Karan Shergill [Hrithik Roshan] is nothing more than drifting in the wind. An easygoing guy with a non-serious attitude towards everything, Karan has no decisive aim in his life. Even his stern father (Boman Irani) does not expect much from him. Karan and Romi Dutta (Preity Zinta) have been buddies since childhood. Now they very much look forward to be life companions. But Karan has yet to become self-dependent and choose a direction to his life. Without much pre-thought Karan joins the armed forces and goes for strict physical and mental training at the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun. But the grueling training sessions at the academy make him rethink his decision. He flees and returns home where he is scolded both by his father and beloved Romi. Differences in the opinion separate Karan and Romi. After much contemplation and introspection Karan decides to go back to the academy. But he is a different man going this time. This time he is determined to become the best soldier. Time passes. Karan graduates from the academy and in the meantime Romi becomes a television journalist. When the two meet after years of gap, the shadow of war is looming on the borders of the country. And Karan, a key officer now, has only one aim clearly set before him to fight for his country. Unlike other war movies of Bollywood, Farhaan Akhtar has made Lakshya quite intelligently. In the first half of the movie he has focused on the angst of a young man, his directionless life, his gradual maturing, his grilling training at the Academy and his metamorphoses into a soldier. And in the second half the story moves into the battlefield, into the bunkers and shows the realities of war, the loss of lives and the triumph of the human spirit. From start to the end Lakshya is evenly strewn with gripping sequences. Hrithiks training at the academy in the first half keeps viewers glued to the screen. There is no doubt that many young viewers will easily relate to the indecisiveness of his character in this half. In the second half, the tempo builds up slowly and reaches a crescendo just before the climax when Hrithik and his company of soldiers climb a steep cliff to shock the intruders from the enemy territory. Performances by both Hrithik and Preity are simply outstanding. The conviction with which Hrithik brings about the transformation of confused youngster into a responsible and mature man in his character is praiseworthy. Amitabh Bachchan looks a bit oddly cast in role of a field commander on the battlefront. But his Maharashtraian accent will certainly charm many viewers. The dialogues in the movie are impactful without being over-dramatic. Writer Javed Akhtar, Farhaans father, deserves full credit for a gripping and believable story. On the other hand, music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is reminiscent of many famous tunes from the west. The trio composers are certainly not original in their compositions. In a nutshell, Lakshya has all the ingredients of a likeable movie. It is technically sound, visually striking and is based on a story, which is very much rooted in the reality.

As Guru Dutt did not direct C.I.D. he could fulfil only half his promise. * Guru Dutt had spotted Waheeda Rehman in a Telugu movie and cast her in Pyaasa, but gave her a key supporting role in C.I.D. to prepare her for Pyaasa. * Guru Dutt had reportedly gifted Raj Khosla a swanky foreign car after the success of CID. * The choreography of this film was done by Zohra Sehgal - now famous for her granny roles (Veer-Zaara, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Cheeni Kum). * The costumes were credited to a Bhanumati, who is better known as Bhanu Athaiya. * Assisting Raj Khosla on CID were Pramod Charavorty and Bhappi Sonie who went on to become successful directors in their own right. * One of the lyricists was Jaan Nissar Akhtar, father of Javed Akhtar * The scriptwriter was Inder Raj Anand, father of actor-filmmaker Tinnu Anand..... Mohammed Rafi (Hindi: ??????? ????, Urdu: ???? ????, December 24, 1924 July 31, 1980) was a popular Indian playback singer. A versatile singer, Rafi sang in many Indian languages including Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada and Telugu.

/India PRwire/ - Big music bands which include the Beatles, Pink Floyd, ABBA, the Doors etc went on to hit the peak and the team broke for some reason or other and the rumors that they would unite and perform together have become folklore. Recently the Bollywood movie Rock On directed by Abhishek Kapoor, produced by Ritesh Sidwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment presented by Big Pictures was a big time hit and made musical waves all over. The music for the film was by Shankar Ehsaan Loy and the trendy lyrics by Javed Akhtar. The story of the film is about Aditya (Farhan Akhtar), Joe (Arjun Rampal), Kedar Zaveri the Killer Drummer (Purab Kohli), Rob Nancy (Luke Kenny) who were college mates with love for music, end up forming a band Magik, make music for a while, have ego trips and break up. The four of them respectively were the mind, the will, the heart and soul of the Magik band. After several years, Aditya?s wife Sakshi played by Prachi Desai puts her best of histrionic efforts to reunite the Magik Band and they indeed unite and go on to hit the music world all over again. That was typical bollywood pulp and reel fiction and its time to know about some real music and facts in this context. The only thing common among L S Ganesh, Vijay Athreye, Sunil Nanda , Raju Varghese , Rahul Chettri, Prdeep Viswanathan, Shalabh Ahuja and Sanjeev Punj is that during the 70s they were all students of Birla Institute ...

"Normally artistes strive for perfection. Only Lata Mangeshkar has achieved it. There're no boundaries to her excellence and reach. You know Hindi film music is so deeply rooted to our life and cultureā€¦ When I go to foreign countries and to very exclusive gatherings of NRIs who are deeply conscious of their status and position, they invariably lose their inhibitions once everyone starts singing songs. More than cinema, I think Indians all over the world are bonded by film songs. Film music outlives cinema. Today we remember Lataji's songs. But not the films they belong to. No matter how much we revere Lataji, we cannot even begin to evaluate her contribution to Indian cinema and ethos. Her body of work is beyond awesome. Listen to the nostalgia channel in Wordspace Music. 80 percent of the songs are by Lataji. She has proved perfection is possible in this imperfect world. Sometimes I think people like Lataji, Ghalib, Beethoven and Shakespeare are far removed from the normal chain of human civilization. If they were just role models, how come no one was able to achieve an iota of their perfection? They are a kind of intruders who come as reminders of the rule of mediocrity that prevails. Lataji belongs to a different league. I'll tell you an incident that Pandit Jasraj narrated to me when from the 1950s. He was in Amritsar when he met to meet the classical genius Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan who was his God. After Pandit Jasraj got talki ...
