It's a close competition between the biggies in Bollywood. If Rab Ne... scores as expected then Shah Rukh would remain at the top for the next six months. But to sustain this, he will have to increase his workload which has come down to one film a year. Salman Khan is another guy who has a huge fan following but couldn't deliver a single hit in 2008. And if Akshay continues to work as much as he is doing now and selects films properly then it's only a matter time before he is at number one with Chandni Chowk To China in 2009. Reportedly, the film is one of the biggest releases in 2009. Let's take a look at the forthcoming projects which can make or break the stars' future in 2009...
Shah Rukh Khan : Billu Barber Produced by Shah Rukh Khan, the film is being directed by Priyadashan. The cast of the film includes SRK, Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav and Asrani. Billu Barber, which is a remake of the hugely successful Malayalam movie Kadha Parayumbol, has already been remade in Tamil titled Kuselan starring Pasupathy and Rajinikanth but it didn’t do well at the box office.

REVIEW: Jumbo

CATEGORY: , , , |

Akshay proves that he can lure not just the ladies but their kids as well to the theatre

I never thought I would like a film where the hero literally blows his own trumpet. And is also fat, round and blue. But I did. Especially because Jumbo is one of the cutest, most filmy animation flicks I have seen in a long time which also has a moral unlike Roadside Romeo which was filmy and cute but not didactic.
Though a official remake of a Thai animated film Khan Kluay, Jumbo does not feel any different from a regular Bollywood film except for the houses which look a cross between the Oriental and Indian and a few characters who have a-little-too-extended eyes.
For many the 'paisa vasool' might happen in the first five minutes of the film when an absolutely gorgeous Akshay Kumar will be seen swinging to a hip hop number 'Everything's gonna be all right'. But hold on…what follows is heart warming nonetheless.
Jumbo is about a small cute blue elephant called Jaiveer (Jumbo for his loved ones) who likes to play hide and seek with frogs rather than indulge in a display of machismo with the other elly toddlers. Jumbo however is not really happy. He misses his dad. His dad, who is rumoured to be a coward, ran away from the elephant community.
Grief stricken Jumbo questions his mother about the father he'd never met and learns that he was captured by humans (BAD EVIL HUMANS). And so, to rescue his daddy, Jaiveer sets on a journey to the human camp close to the jungle. Unluckily he fails in his quest. On his way back home, he meets a pink, pretty eyed elephant Sonia (now every hero however fat and round deserves to have a heroine right?). Sonia, who by the way despises being called Pinky accompanies Jumbo back home only to find his mother gone. So the friendly Sonia takes the crestfallen Jumbo to her home - a village full of good humans.
And here's where Jumbo's real journey begins – to find his parents and become the king's royal elephant.
