Love Aaj Kal Movie Reviews, Wallpapers, Trailers, Story, Picture Gallery

Love Aaj kal is a forthcoming Hindi film starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles with Rahul Khanna and Rishi Kapoor in supporting roles.

Is love today different from what it was in the past when lovers like Laila-Majnu or Romeo-Juliet perished in each other’s arms? Today, in the age of online romance and one-night stands, many would say love is just a whirlwind. But no! ‘Love Aaj Kal’ will have you believe that certain things don’t change with the passage of time.

The movie, directed by Imtiaz Ali , stars Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone as lovers in different time periods.

LOVE AAJ: London, San Francisco, Delhi - 2009.
Jai and Meera are a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow. "These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books," Jai says. In the real life, we have to be practical.

LOVE KAL: Delhi, Calcutta - 1965.
Veer Singh is struck by a thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that "is janam mein aur har janam mein... yehi meri votti banegi - Harleen Kaur." He travels a thousand kilometers by train to stand under her balcony only to have a glimpse of her face. And yet not speak a word with her.

Love Aaj Kal:
Veer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion, like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh could have been so naïve and silly about Harleen in the days of his youth. But as both stories unfold, we realize that the process of relationship might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. So there is the frolic and despair of modern living, the liberation and confusion. And there is the past - the times of innocence and compulsion. And there is distance, and the fondness that increases with distance. Gaps widen between two people, but bridges keep growing too.

‘Love Aaj Kal’ marks the birth of production house Illuminati Films, owned by Saif Ali Khan and partner Dinesh Vijan. Sunil Lilla is the co-producer.

The movie also stars Rishi Kapoor , Neetu Singh and Rahul Khanna in significant roles. There’s also a cameo by a British model named Florence.

‘Love Aaj Kal’ has music by Pritam and lyrics by Irshad Kamil.

The film is set to release on July 31.

Bollywood New Movie Victory Review, Pictures & Wallpapers

‘Victory’ tells the story of a struggling cricketer who defies all odds to realize an almost impossible dream.

Written and directed by Ajitpal Mangat, the movie stars Harman Baweja , Amrita Rao , Anupam Kher and Gulshan Grover .

Harman Baweja - Vijay Shekhawat
Amrita Rao - Nandini
Anupam Kher - Ram Shekhawat
Gulshan Grover - Andy Singh
Dilip Tahil - Dilip Malhotra

Synopsis:
‘Victory’ is the story of a father, Ram Shekhawat (Anupam Kher), who saw an impossible dream for his son, the dream of making his son a famous cricketer. This is also the heroic dream of his son Vijay Shekhawat (Harman).

Hailing from the small town of Jaisalmer, Vijay Shekhawat becomes India’s latest world-class batting sensation and is catapulted into stardom. But it is the glamour and glitter of this very demi-God status that makes the young, vulnerable small-town boy Vijay stray away from the true vocation of cricket. Unfortunately, this leads to a loss of focus and to a miserable drop in his

performance. But by the time Vijay realizes the error of his ways, it is too late. Vijay finds himself thrown out of the Indian cricket team because of disciplinary reasons.In one fell swoop, the hero of the cricket-crazy India becomes a villain in everyone’s eyes. His father Ram Shekhawat’s dreams are shattered and the old man suffers a paralytic stroke.

This tragedy awakens Vijay’s conscience and his sense of honour. He wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his father and every Indian. Against great odds, he makes it back to the Indian team and gets to play in the finals of the Champions Trophy against Australia, where he plays a stellar role in enabling India to win the trophy. In this match, Vijay fulfills his father’s dream and enters the pantheon of Indian cricket.

‘Victory’ promises to be a definitive cricket film.

Slumdog... bags 10 Oscar nominations

Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, has received 10 nominations for Oscars this year.

The film has been nominated in the following categories:
Achievement in Cinematography - Anthony Dod Mantle
Achievement in Direction - Danny Boyle
Achievement in Film Editing - Chris Dickens
Achievement in Music (Original Score) - A R Rahman
Achievement in Music (Original Song) (Two Nominations) - A R Rahman
Best Motion Picture - Christian Colson
Achievement in Sound Editing - Tom Sayers
Achievement in Sound Mixing - Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke, Resul Pookutty
Adapted Screenplay - Simon Beaufoy

Indian music composer AR Rahman has bagged three nominations for the Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire; one for Best Original Score and two for Best Song.

Slumdog Millionaire will be competing with the likes The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk and The Reader that are vying for the Best Motion Picture award.

The cast and crew of Slumdog Millionaire were in Mumbai for the premiere of the film. They caught the nomination announcement at the premiere venue via a live video feed to LA. On hearing the announcement the cast and crew present including Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy were overjoyed.

Anil Kapoor, who plays game show host Prem Kumar in the film said, "It is unbelievable. We are so happy it feels like the entire country has been nominated. The film gave India the platform to show the kind of talent India has. Now we must grab the opportunity instead of getting petty and narrow minded."

According to Frieda Pinto, who plays the love interest of the lead protagonist in the film, "The feeling is beyond words. 10 Oscar nominations! It's unbelievable."

"It's unbeleivable...the result, 10 nominations for the film and specially the three for Rahman. He is not here because he is finishing work on his other film, he is working right now," said director Danny Boyle.

Co-director Loveleen Tandon said, "It has really opened new doors for us and I am happy that Slumdog... became the vehicle for it. It is high time that the West woke up to Indian talent."

Irrfan Khan, who plays a police inspector in the film, feels the 10 Oscar nominations the film earned were a like a lottery and exudes confidence in A R Rahman in notching a coveted Academy award. "I am elated. It is unbelievable. I don't know how to react. It is like we have won a lottery," he said.

Diplomat-turned-writer Vikas Swarup said, "I think my book which was adapted into screenplay was nominated for the Oscar because Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy had heightened sensibility as people who loved India and Mumbai and that sensibility also came to the project. Even if they viewed it through the eyes of a 'foreigner', if I may use that word they also viewed us as people who felt greatly connected to Mumbai, the great city and its people."

The film tells the story of a slum kid who participates in popular reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (Who Wants to be a Millionaire?) and wins Rs two crore in a bid to win his love interest back.

Slumdog... is based on a novel by Indian diplomat Vikash Swarup and stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan in lead among others.

Recently, the film's protagonist Dev Patel won the most promising newcomer award at the British Independent Film Awards as well as the Best Young Actor Award at the Critics' Choice Awards.

Nominations for the 81st Academy Awards were announced by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Sid Ganis and actor Forest Whitaker.

The 81st Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2008 will be presented on 22 February, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland Center, and televised live by the ABC Television Network.

Hugh Jackman will be seen hosting the awards and the same will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.
