Happy birthday to Abhishek Bacchan.
Happy birthday to Abhishek Bacchan.
The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Abhishek Bacchan on 5th February, 2012. He had entertained the viewers over the last 10 years and is expected to do even better in the years to come.
Being the son of superstars Amitabh Bacchan and Jaya Bacchan, he had a great challenge in terms of proving himself in the early part of his career. He got chance in good films like JP Dutta’s Refugee, Dhai Aksar Prem Ki, Bombai Se Aya Mera Dost, but due to comparison of him with his father, his performance was not appreciated inspite of the success of the film.
Then he formed a fantastic pair with actress Rani Mukherjee and his career took a turn. His film Yuva was very successful. He played a negative character in the film opposite Rani Mukherjee. The film was related to the violent scenario in Kolkata caused by politics in academic institutions and the loss to the students due to such unrest. Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi did extremely well in the film along with Abhishek Bacchan.
Abhishek Bacchan and Rani Mukherjee complimented each other in the film Bunty Aur Babli. Both of them took the recourse of falsehood and duped different people all across the country. Before their plan was unearthed they left the place and got involved in other crimes. The music in the film composed by Shankar- Ehsaan-Loy became super hit with popular songs like “dharak dharak”, “chup chupke chup chupke”, “bunty aur babli”, “kajra re kajra re”, etc. Aishwarya Rai amused the viewers with her item number in the film titled “kajra re”. Big B also did well in the film in the role of police inspector.
Abhishek Bacchan did well in the film Dhoom-2 opposite Hrithik Roshan. He investigated the significant operations carried out by Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai who were international thieves and stole expensive items from museums and art galleries. Abhishek Bacchan arrested Hrithik Roshan at the end of the film but did not confine him after he disclosed the places where he stored the stolen items.
His other hit films included Guru, opposite Aishwarya Rai and Dostana opposite John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra. In 2009 his film Dilli 6 had been released where he did extremely well opposite Sonam Kapoor and veteran actors in the film.
At the end of the year he acted in a critically acclaimed film Paa. The film was directed by Balki. Big played the role of the son of Abhishek Bacchan and Vidya Balan played the role of the his wife. Big B died at the end of the film. Big B and Vidya Balan received the best actor and best actress award in 2010 star screen awards for their performance in the film Paa. Abhishek Bacchan played his role of a politician in style.
His tall height and deep voice impressed the viewers over the last few years and the viewers are looked forward to his depiction of the character Ram that he played in director Mani Ratnam’s film Ravan. Unfortunately the film Raavan did not do great business.
The same was the fate of his film Khelenge Hum Je Jaan Se directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar. But Abhishek Bacchan played the role of freedom fighter Masterda Surjo Sen who was involved in Chattagram Astragarh Lunthon during the colonial period. He had testws his luck in 2011 with the films Game and Dum Maro Dum and the film Players being released in 2012. None of these films did great business. In 2012, he became the father of girl child as Aishwarya Rai gave birth to a daughter. He requires a hit film very soon and the viewers wish that the other films in 2012 will do well and bring back the stardom of Abhishek Bacchan.

Players will do moderate business.
Abhishek Bacchan, Bipasha Basu in Players
Abbas Mustan’s crime thriller film Players that had been released on 6th January will do moderate business. Pritam had composed the music of the film. The film was made with a budget of 45 crores.
The main roles were given to Abhishek Bacchan, Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vinod Khanna. There were supporting roles played by Bobby Deol, Omi Vaidya, Johnny Lever and Sikander Kher. The film had been related to theft of gold from a train in Russia. The hackers, the magicians and others’ help was required.
Everyone contributed in the operation. But Neil Nitin Mukesh betrayed. He killed Bobby Deol. Bipasha Basu pretended to have been shot by Neil Nitin Mukesh, but later colluded with him. At the end Abhishek Bacchan identified them in New Zealand with the help of Sonam Kapoor, Sikander Kher and Omi Vaidya. Johnny Lever, a car maker helped them for getting cars made of different materials. Sonam Kapoor killed Neil Nitin Mukesh at the end of the film.
The music of Pritam in the film had not been impressive. Excepting the song “dil yeh bekarar kyun hai” sung by Mohit Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal, none of the other songs impressed the viewers. Vinod Khanna lost weight, yet impressed with his performance. Bipasha Basu and Abhishek Bachhan did well. But Sonam Kapoor did not rise up to the occasion to match the stylish character.
Abbas Mustan had given super hit films in the past like Soldier and Ajnabee with Bobby Deol. It was very surprising that this time he had underused Bobby Deol. Bobby Deol had always given quality performances in stylish roles. The other factor was that the operation was too technical. There are chances of the film doing well oversees. But the Indian audience had not adjusted themselves to too technical subject matter. The plot was good and the execution very stylish. Even after the great effort the film is likely to do moderate business.

Happy birthday to Stylish star Bipasha Basu.
Bipasha Basu.
Happy birthday to Stylish star Bipasha Basu.
The viewers of
bollywood films wish happy birthday to Bipasha Basu on 7th January,
2012. She had remained one of the smart aggressive actresses who acted in
different kinds of roles over the last 5 years. 2012 is very important for her.
Her film Players had recently been released where she acted opposite Abhishek
Bacchan, Bobby Deol and Sonam Kapoor.
Bipasha Basu
showed her romantic presence in landmark films in 2009 like All the best. She
acted opposite Ajay Devgan and made everyone laugh with her hilarious
performance. She has been one of the most sought after models who had become
indispensable in bollywood films in the last few years.
In the Lux Sabse
Favourite Kaun night she won the award for the most style icon of 2009. Her
stylish andaz had been appreciated by the viewers of the modern days.
When she
initially joined bollywood films in Ajnabee with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol,
Kareena Kapoor, her smartness and aggressive performance was discussed amongst
producers and directors. With passage of time new producers found similarity of
Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie and Sofia
Lorrain and started giving her roles which were both bold and beautiful.
She was
considered an art-film actress after her restrained performance in Madhur
Bhandarkar’s off-beat project Corporate. Her hit films include Ajnabee, Bacchna
Aye Haseeno, Race, etc.
She had bagged
the award for the most stylish icon last year in 2008, during a year when other
bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka
Chopra had stormed bollywood films with their stylish performances and westernized
dress-ups.
Although the
complexion of Bipasha Basu was darkish, her looks were unique and that was the
reason she was used by directors of different dimensions. In films like Dhoom
2, where Aishwarya Rai showed challenging stunts opposite Hrithik Roshan,
Bipasha Basu complimented Abhishek Bacchan in the film with her smart
performance. Till date she had performed in more stylish roles than tradional
characters.
It did not
matter to her that she had not been identified as romantic stars like Preeti Zinta,
or Rani Mukherjee or Kareena Kapoor, who had ruled bollywood films for the last
5 years, as long as her performance in contemporary films were appreciated and
her films did brilliant business in India and abroad.
Even with
increase of age, viewers had to accept her presence in films in 2008, like
Bacchna Aye Haseeno, where she had performed opposite younger stars like
Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba. In an interview before a private channel
Ranbir Kapoor mentioned that Bipasha Basu was the most matured actress who had
acted opposite her in his short career. Beyond style and dance performances she
had very strong acting conception which had still kept her in the rat race.
In 2010 she
acted in offbeat roles like the one in the film Aakrosh where she played the
role of the wife of Paresh Rawal. She acted very well opposite Akshay Khanna
and Ajay Devgan in the film.
The viewers
expect her to continue her brilliant work in bollywood films and show more
dynamism in future.
