Sooryavanshi
Starring Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh
Direction by Rohit Shetty
Sooryavanshi peddles terrorism as a formula. When Muslim characters, mainly terrorists, appear on screen there is middle-eastern strain in the background, a rubaab strain can be heard in the distance. Sadly, Mohile’s enterprising spirit proves unequal to the film’s asinine aspirations to convert the currency of crossborder terrorism into a successful formula .Tragically Rohit Shetty and his team of writers which I am told includes an expert on political terrorism, seems to have hit bull’s eye. Going by the audiences’ reaction in the theatre,Rohit Shetty and Akshay Kumar have reason to rejoice.
Sooryavanshi plays the Good Muslim –Bad Muslim game with pitch-perfect aim. ‘Good Muslim’ Rajendra Gupta is pitched against ‘Bad Muslim’ Gulshan Grover in a chamber-room confrontation so clumsily orchestrated it looks like a Films Division propaganda film on communal harmony.

Kasme Waade Pyaar Wafa .... This soul stirring song from Manoj Kumar's hit film Upkaar is still relevant as it compels one to ponder at the uncertainty of human relations.
Being a thought-provoking and philosophical number many wonder this song is penned by literary genius like Indeevar or Prem Dhanwan. In fact many websites have credited this song to Indeevar, Prem Dhawan and some have even credited it to Qamar Jalalabadi but the fact is the song is written by Gulshan Bawra.
Besides penning songs Gulshan Bawra even played comedy roles in many films (Including Upkaar) hence due to his comedian image people mistook him as humourist but he had written many wonderful songs like 'Mere Desh Ki Dharti...' (Upkaar), 'Yaari Hai Imaan Mera...' (Zanjeer) and the title track of Agar Tum Na Hote.
Secondly, few know that Manoj Kumar had no plans for the song in the...
