First day, First show – Everest on Star Plus #everest #review
















Star Plus has brought an interesting television show named “Everest” which is the creative idea of filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker and it includes A.R. Rehman as the chief composer of the television show. With such huge names attached to the show, it is natural to expect something different in the world of Indian television, where the creative minds are trying to do slight experiment in an industry dominated by the saas-bahu sagas. 

The first episode of the show which aired on Star Plus today at 10:00 pm had an intriguing appeal to the narrative. Everest’s first episode subtly introduces the prominent characters - Anjali Singh Rawat, a bright graduate of Literature who is to receive the state award for her performance in college. She eagerly wants her father to accompany her for the gold medal ceremony.  

Her father is shown to be a typical army officer, who is punctual, like to live a disciplinarian life and talks in a blunt fashion. The first episode reveals that Anjali’s eagerness to attend the ceremony turns into a shattering experience as she discovers that her father never wanted a daughter, but a son. Her father represents a typical patriarchal man who desires a son and not a daughter. 

This story runs parallel to another story, where Aakash Joshi, who is a video journalist in Mumbai, is given an interesting offer by his boss (played by Rajat Kapoor) to cover the story on Everest. However, Aakash’s traumatic experience in the past has made him acrophobic. His fear or height is established in an interesting scene, where he is unable to control himself on a transparent accelerator. This makes the screenplay gripping as it switches between the past and present, exposing multiple facets to the character of the show.

In a merciless world of television where people are impatient enough to flip across thousands of channels, Will the television show Everest succeed in keeping the audiences intrigued?  Only time can tell.

Happy New Year – Good Entertainer if you are willing to participate in it.




















With Happy New Year, Farah Khan is back in her form. She knows her USP well- enough to incorporate it well into a Bollywood entertainer. Unabashedly cheeky, offensive in some places, but if taken lightly can give the audiences a good time while watching this typical Bollywood masala movie.

With its grand setting in Dubai, Happy New Year tells the story of six losers, from various walks of life, united by the agenda of pulling off the biggest diamond heist.  The story offers nothing new to the audiences, borrowing instances and situations which were far commonly known to the Hindi cinema goers of the 70’s and 80’s.  Each character is supposedly shown to be a loser in his/her own style. From an inquisitive mind of a hacker, who is “uncool” enough to get laid (played by Vivaan Shah) to the angry young man Sonu Sood, who becomes “violent” on hearing anything offensive said against his beloved mother. There are more such absurd yet entertaining scenes in the film, which may make you laugh or cheer up, but certainly can’t be intolerable for a viewer, looking for sense and meaning in this entertainment driven narrative.

The story may lack logic in some instances, but it is powerful enough to run a three hour commercial pot boiler. It is interesting to see how the writing department of the film – Althea Kaushal, Farah Khan, Mayur Puri have brainstormed enough to add twists and turns in the plot, which certainly makes your heart beat faster, as a well-wisher for the team, headed by Charlie.

Despite this, the film has made dance to be one of the important ingredients of the film. This is where the character of Deepika Padukona, who plays the role of Mohini, a bar dancer who dances exceedingly well, shines like a typical Bollywood entertainer. She looks ravishing in some of the sequences, how ever, the songs are not as good as the earlier films of Farah Khan. But the particular song, “Manwa Lagey” has moments of melody with lyrics penned down by Irshad Kamil.

SRK plays the leading hero of the film – Charlie. It has got to be his film. For the fans of SRK, there is action and drama to look for with doses of romance and humour. He is the pop philosopher of the film, giving the audiences, anecdotes of how life gives one single opportunity to losers to change the fate of their lives. Abhishek Bachchan, who plays the role of Nandu, is  full of energy . He is complimented well with the sincere performance of Boman Irani, who is naturally funny in the film, with the character of a middle aged man - Tammy, behaving like an innocent and naïve teenager. 

There’s a very sweet equation that Tammy shares with his mother, Daisy Irani (good to see her after a long time) who plays the role of nagging mother to him. Her small appearance is effective in the film.
Jackie Shroff plays the role of Charan Groover, the antagonist in the film, who doesn’t really have such moments to offer in the film, yet plays his role with a fine performance. 

Yes – Happy New Year lacks logic,  is offensive in places, has high exaggerated doses of patriotism, but it isn’t trying to marvel you with its artistry or intellect either. It is almost like going to a party where you are willing to take yourself less seriously and enjoy whatever that comes in your way. If you are okay with watching an over the top song,dance,action, drama then Happy New Year is going to provide a gala time to its viewer.
