Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who is pretty much relieved after the success of his latest film ‘Udta Punjab,’ has another reason to celebrate.

His wife Mira Rajput is currently pregnant with their first baby. Shahid said that he has taken full paternity leave and has decided to stay with his wife until she delivers the baby. He added that he witnessed how much his mother struggled when his younger brother (Ishaan) was born, so he wants to stay by his wife’s side and help her go through the phase.

Meanwhile, ‘Udta Punjab’ is doing pretty great at the box office. The controversy created by the Censor Board seems to have helped the film to gain the curiosity among movie lovers. Also starring Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor, the film is praised for its authentic portrayal of drug menace in Punjab.

Amidst the much hullaballoo, Udtaa Punjab has finally hit the screens with a hype that’s unusual for a Shahid Kapoor starrer.

The movie unveils in a very interesting scene where a drug dealer from Pakistan throws a packet like a discus throw into a field of Punjab, and the title appears UDTAA PUNJAB.

The film primarily deals with the drug menace in Punjab which is happening at a huge scale. It takes the help of four characters to showcase the situation and what happens to the people related to it.

Gabru aka Tommy Singh is a rockstar singer, who has an insane following among the youth. He became a star at the age of 21 and there was no looking back. He was into drugs at a very early age and his songs also revolved around getting high. The lyrics of his songs became a philosophy for his fans, where they can do anything for the drugs. He is their role model. Such a dangerous role model that a young lad even kills his mother for not giving the money for drugs. Gabru’s career starts sinking when his inspiration (the drugs) starts making him go out of his mind. His business deals get broken and he also gets caught in a police raid on his birthday party night where he is drowning in drugs.

On the other hand we have Preet (Kareena Kapoor) a doctor who is a specialist in rehabilitation of the drug addicts. On of her patients is brother to an A.S.I Sarjit. Sarjit works mostly at checkpost and earns a good amount every other week for letting go the drug trucks into the town. He is least bothered about the effect until he learns that his brother became a victim of that. Sarjit feels guilty and starts working with Preet to get the information of the people behind the whole drug kingdom.

Another important character of the film is Alia Bhatt, who is actually a hockey player, but turns to labour as a result of poverty. She ends up getting into the hands of drug dealers. She is forced to drugs and they push her into prostitution.

The rest of the film deals with Sarjit and Preet’s efforts in the investigation and also Shahid’s and Alia’s battle to escape from the respective mess they got into.

The movie is definitely much-needed and shall be an eye opener for the awareness. A strong message that has to be conveyed to the youth. Abhishek Chaubey seemed to be very honest in his intentions and it shows. He with his art and conviction conveyed the seriousness of the issue.

Past the interval, the movie takes lot of time to get back to interesting mode. Shahid was phenomenal. His screen presence was fiery. Kareena was pleasant as the doctor and very convincing. The Punjabi actor was also impressive. Alia looked out of the place and the Bihari accent and her acting seemed artificial. She is one of the major drawbacks to the film.

All in all, Udta Punjab is a serious film that deserves a watch to get an awareness of the dark world.

Finally the dispute of Udta Punjab movie which shook the Indian film industry is ended up with Supreme Court’s order. Supreme Court gave the green signal to the movie release which was in a dilemma by the objection’s raised by the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification).

Going deep into the details, when film unit contacted Censor Board the Board members noted for 40 cuts in the film. Feeling it unfair the film unit went to Review Committee, where they referred them to more than 89 cuts and also suggested them to change the title of the film too. The film unit approached the Bombay High Court. After hearing to the Board objections for the film the Court directed the CBFC to issue an ‘A’ certificate with a single cut. When everything is going well for the film release, a non-profit organization’s manager of Punjab approached the Supreme Court saying that the film contains objectionable scenes. However, the Supreme Court’s decision is in favor of the filmmakers and hence the Udta Punjab is expected to hit the Big screens on this Friday.

Udta Punjab is based on drug abuse in the Indian state of Punjab.The Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh starrer delves into how a large number of youth in Punjab have succumbed to drugs.

When everyone is very excited about the release of the film Udta Punjab, there is a controversy on the movie now. Human Rights Awareness Association, a Punjab-based NGO, on Wednesday sought to put on hold the screening of the film. The primary reason behind their complaint is that they argue Udta Punjab has projected the agrarian State in a bad light. Although the high court has given a clean chit for the film in many ways and has said that the censor board should not curb the creativity of the filmmakers. In this scenario the latest complaint on the film is disappointing.

The High Court had directed the film producer to make one cut and insert three disclaimers. The makers are very much happy about the decision of the high court, but this sudden controversy is something which is like an unnecessary publicity stunt.

The Bombay High Court has cleared Bollywood film Udta Punjab for release with one cut. This is a very good news and positive sign from the court. A lawyer of the film’s producer Phantom Films, which had moved court against a series of cuts imposed on the film by the censor board but finally the Bombay high court after hearing the versions of both the sides took the stand of the film and said that there is nothing wrong shown in the film.

Filmmakers don’t support drugs’ and ‘characters show facets of menace’ are the primary observations of the censor board. Also, the court clarified that there is no reason to delete word Punjab from sign board, and even nothing to suggest sovereignty is questioned. Drugs availability highlighted and the downfall of a rockstar depicted. Also, the cops struggling with drug menace is shown in the film. CBFC not empowered by law to censor films as the word censor is not included in the cinematography act is what cleared by the high court of Bombay.

‘Udta Punjab,’ an upcoming Bollywood film starring Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, is one of the much-discussed films of this year.

Thanks to the Censor Board, ‘Udta Punjab’ has got huge publicity. Since the film deals with drug trafficking and its abuse in Punjab, the Censor Board refused to allot certificate if the advised 40 cuts were not implemented. On the other hand, makers of Udta Punjab claimed that no one can make an authentic film about ‘drugs’ and its effects on people without using bold scenes and cuss words.

Both the censor board and the filmmakers were reluctant, so the film which was supposed to be released in April is tentatively slated for release on June 17.

Ram Gopal Varma tweeted that the film should have been named ‘Udta India’ or ‘Udta World’ owing to the subject of ‘Drugs’.

News has been making rounds in film circles that Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer upcoming Bollywood film ‘Udta Punjab’ has been banned by the Censor Board.

The film directed by Abhishek Chaubey deals with the drug mafia in Punjab. The trailer has already created huge interest and controversy with the characters speaking many cuss words. Film’s co-producer Anurag Kashyap and Balaji Motion Pictures have jointly said that ‘Udta Punjab’ has not been banned.

The statement added that there has been a difference of opinion between the CBFC and the filmmakers regarding the censor certificate with Board demanding for the removal of cuss words and makers acting against it. The Revision Committee are currently reviewing Udta Punjab, and the issue will be soon settled.

The release date will be announced as soon as the censor is done.

Shaandaar Review: Is it really that Shaandaar?

When it is a Vikas Bahl film, the audiences go in with a lot of expectations. Since Queen became a game-changer, a lot was expected out of this Shahid Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer. But sadly it didn’t meet that level of expectations.

The film is not very entertaining, but it isn’t even boring. So it floats in the land between that! Shaandaar, didn’t come across as so ‘Shaandaar’ as the audiences wished it would. Having said that, the film is packaged in a way where there are certain nuances that are dealt differently. Be it fat-shamming, marriages seen as business propositions, insomniacs, breaking stereotypes and blingy-overtly expensive wedding traditions.

Star Performances:

Shahid Kapoor as the hottie got a lot of ceetis upon his entry. During the course of film, it seemed that his acting talent isn’t used to full potential. He could have had some dumdaar dialogues to match his persona. He looked good no doubt. In terms of acting, this was comparatively an easier role to pull off.

Alia Bhatt is good with what she has done. The film isn’t adding to her acting graph, but shows her in a very comfortable space. She too looks really good and does her bubble-bee camaraderie to the fullest.

Pankaj Kapur is really good as the father who wants only but his daughter’s happiness. His fatherly insecurities are portrayed perfectly and he emerges as the coolest/cutest dad. His screen presence with Shahid is better than that with his on-screen daughter Alia. The father-son duo’s rapport is one of the highlights of the film.

With her Bollywood debut, Sanah Kapur has made a mark in the film. Her role is written well and the way she shams her to-be-groom who body-shams her is a good scene. She doesn’t go overboard and it seems acting comes naturally to her.

Others too have decent roles and they’ve tried their best to keep the film together. Karan Johar had a cameo, but there wasn’t the Koffee With Karan magic in the Mehendi With Karan segment.

Technicalities:

As a viewer, I was expecting much more from Shaandaar. But I was bit let down, considering the fact that it didn’t offer much to hold my attention throughout. Seeing the trailer, which was so well packaged, I thought the film would have a lot more. Maybe, I had too much belief in Vikas’ vision.

The simplicity of the film is nice but not great. The film banking on shaan, didn’t have any shaandaar moment according to me. Bahl’s last films always had something we could fixate on. Here we can fixate on the feel good factor of the actors who look great together.

Watch or not:

It is a light and breezy film and is easy in its approach. Mass appeal might work in the favor of the film. It has a couple fun moments. So watching it with friends and family should be a good experience but not a ‘Shaandaar’ one!

Thumbs Up: Music, subtle messages,

Thumbs Down: Plot, execution

Yawns: A few

Want to know something exciting? Then this is the place to be. Bollywood’s latest breeze is that sooner Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khattar will make film debut together in a movie.

Saif Ali Khan who is enjoying the success of “Phantom” will be much more delighted if his daughter gives an entry into Bollywood. Whereas Shahid who recently came back from his honeymoon, will be completing “Shaandaar” starring Alia Bhatt and is eagerly waiting to launch Ishaan.

Shahid’s has already launched his sister Sanah Kapoor ,who will be seen as Alia’s friend in “Shaandaar”.

Gossip has that they will make their debut with a Karan Johar film for which director is not yet confirmed. Karan Johar has similarly launched star kids like Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt with Student of the Year, which turned out to be a huge success.

This film will be having a huge forecast over its head as both the pair come from the family of Ex-rumoured couple (Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor).

Surprising to this, earlier an official confirmation was made that Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor will soon be seen coming together with Vishal Bhardwaj’s “Rangoon”.

Seems that every one has left their past behind for their career and their younger generation. Let’s hope Ishaan-Sara pair becomes a hit on silver screen.

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Shaandaar Movie is set to release in October. The film has already caught enough attention in Bollywood. Let’s see Why Shaandaar is a must watch film.

1. Since Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are pairing for the first time, their chemistry will be the focal point to watch out for the audience. The trailer was received very well with over 2 million views in less than 48 hours. As we know that Alia was trolled for her General Knowledge in Social media, well Shaandaar means intelligent, let’s see who is Shaandaar in the movie either Shahid or Alia.

2. Alia Bhatt gave a glimpse for herself in a pink bikini in the trailer. This is her first appearance in bikini, she drove boys crazy. Alia put good efforts for the slim body that we see in the movie.

3. These two have been father and sons in real life. They have been working in cinemas since long time but will be sharing screen for the first time in Shaandaar. They two make a perfect combination and have many hilarious scenes and comic dialogues.

4. Making her debut by this film Sanah is the daughter of Pankaj Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor is her half-brother. Sanah has a formal training in acting. She will be seen as on screen sister for Alia in Shaandaar.

5. This critically acclaimed director has a different meaning for cinema. His previous movies Chillar Party and Queen have won National Awards. Shaandaar, for sure looks like different genre compared to his last films. Expectations are heavy on his shoulders. This director, whether will satisfy the audience and prove his capability shall be seen on Oct 22, 2015.
