Jai Ho! - Flop Show or Expected More


Salman Khan, name is enough for personality. Icon of fitness and definition of success in Bollywood is Salman.  Since last some years he is giving sequels of south Indian movies and got succeeded every time. He gave continuous five blockbuster movies in recent time. Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger and Dabagg 2 are his latest super hits. This 26th January his movie released with name Jai Ho produced and directed by his brother Sohail Khan. After huge collection by Krissh 3 and Dhoom 3 it was expected that Jai Ho will beat them as the personality of Salman is more successful then Aamir and Hritik Roshan as well his last movies performances were like wow. Also the movie was a remake of one of the south movie Stalin which was already a blockbuster in south film industry. The movie first named with "Mental "and came on floor to shoot on 27th February, 2013. After some time the movie renamed by "Jai Ho".

Since the competitor's movies were crossing the records on box office, it was genuine expectations from the Salman Khan's upcoming movie as he has only working on a single project. After music launch and the hits came on released promo, expectations became higher. The movie came more in news with a little political touch when Salman met Shri Narendra Modi during the movie promotions. He took lunch and spent some time with Shri Narendra Modi who declared prime ministerial candidate from his party's alliance for 2014 Polls. Narendra Modi is a chief minister of Gujarat and also one of the very popular leaders in India. He also became controversial leader after 2002 riots in Gujarat and due to that also he became a well discussed politician around the world. It became a controversy for movie as Salman met him.

"Jai Ho" consumed Rs. 65 crore with promotion cost and done business around 110 cr. till now. By the way movie was expected due to Salman only otherwise there was no good story in Dhoom 3 too. Salman accepted failure of Jai Ho and added that "I can not force people to come to the theater. If they will like they will come themself. It is not compulsory that Salman's movie released and so that he has to watch it." This is actually called legendary as he considers the time, which comes in every one's life with success and failure.

Sholay History Before Sholay 3D


Sholay – A name stands with a new definition of success. Today on 3Rd January 2014 the 3D version of Sholay is in theaters. Let's remember again interesting facts of unforgettable scenes and dialogues. The movie Sholay was released on 15Th August 1975. The movie staring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jaya Bhaduri (Bachchan), Hema Malini, Amjad Khan, Sanjeev Kumar, produced by G. P. Sippy and directed by Ramesh Sippy. Most of readers might have seen the movie much time but now here some facts are presented against you and for that I can say, "You might not aware!!!" So let's see what you know and what not.

The movie launched in Oct-1973 and released on 15-Aug.-1975, means the shoot took two and half year for reaching to the theaters. That time the budget of movie was only three crores. Sholay was shoot the same scene in two sets of negatives, one in 70MM and second was of 35MM and due to this every scene shoot for two times. Sholay was the first film in bollywood which was shown more than 25 weeks in more than 1000 theaters in India. It was India's first 70MM movie with stereophonic sound.

There are too many changes happened before release of Sholay, like selection of directors and actors. Writers of Sholay, Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan first insisted that time successful director Manmohan Desai but he decline as he was busy with his another project. Characters of the movie were mostly relevant to the writers or that time society. Jai and Veeru were Salim Khan's college friends and Thakur Baldev Singh is a name of his Father in Law. Villain name came from the original dacoit in 1950's in Gwalior area. He was very cruel as per record and Soorma was a Forest officer in Madhya Pradesh. Shatrughan Sinha was considered for character of Jai initially but finally it was played by Amitabh Bachchan. Dharmendra dreamed to play the character of Thakur but when he read full script than decided to play Veeru as Basanti was finally coming to Veeru. Danny was finalized for Gabbar Singh but due to his busyness the character came to Amjad Khan. Actually Amjad Khan was sujjested by Javed Akhtar and he made history. Yes, we know Gabbar Singh a great villain of bollywood era but it is also fact that there are only nine scenes in entire movie of the character and Mac Mohan played Sambha character has only one line dialogue in movie still that is remembered.

One of the interesting facts of delay in shooting is, Jaya was pregnant with Sweta as Amitabh and Jaya married only before four months of the movie begun. Dharmendra and Hema Malini married after five years of release of Sholay. The movie filmed mostly in Ramanagara town, 50 Kms away from Bangalore. It became a tourist place after Sholay declared hit.

There are more to say like, the train robbery was shot on Mumbai-Pune track near Panvel, The bullets were used were original in several scenes, but in mood of "Will Say Later!!!"
Let's remember some great dialogues of the movie which are still usually heard in society.

"Kitney aadmi they"

"Bahoot yaraana lagta hai"

"In kutto ke samne mat nachna Basanti"

"Tumhara Naam Kya hai Basanti"

"Bhaag Dhanno aaj teri Basanti ki ijjat ka sawal hai"

"Soja varna Gabbar aa jayega"

"Ye haath Muje de de Thakur"

"Itna sannaata kyu hai bhai"

One more achievement of the movie is Sholay has been studied by film scholars from every angle.
