Do you know Babu Patti? It is a tiny village in Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh, that these days is bustling with excitement. The local residents are on a cleaning spree, but it is not just the regular spring cleaning underway.
Removing garbage and some even getting their houses whitewashed -- because everyone here are eagerly awaiting superstar Amitabh Bachchan's visit to Babu Patti -- the megastar's ancestral village.
During a recent episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', Bachchan who hosts the long running show, said that he was planning to visit the village with his family.
The Kaun Banega Crorepati episode that aired on October 20 had a rollover contestant, Ankita Singh, from Bhilai, Chattisgarh on the hot seat. Ankita called her uncle in Uttar Pradesh for help when she used the 'Video-Call-a-Friend' lifeline.
The uncle, in his turn, spoke to the Bachchan and urged him to visit his ancestral village.

It¡¦s exactly one year to this day when you surprised me and the entire industry with your chilling performance in Ek Villian. June 27, 2014, I¡¦m sure is the day you will never forget. That was, to me, your biggest Friday professionally. You surpassed your expectations as a performer and I know the kick it can give a creative person.
It¡¦s a high of knowing that you broke the standards you set for yourself. Every creative person is his or hers biggest critic. The appreciation that followed would have only been the icing on the cake. Not to mention the awards.
Every actor lives for this, and then to push himself some more; for that surreal place where he can call his own¡Xhis zone! Every actor reaches there at least once in his lifetime.

For many women who enjoyed Bollywood during the 70s and 80s, Mithun Chakraborty was a heartthrob for many of them. Famous for films like Disco Dancer (1982) and Agneepath (1990), the legendary actor will be seen in the highly-anticipated film Kick, which stars Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in the leading roles.
Speaking about what was so special about Kick that motivated him to sign up to it (given that he is very selective about the roles he does), Mr Chakraborty responded, “After 375 films, I would say I’m fortunate to be able to consider carefully which roles I take on. I don’t accept a role for the sake of it, there has to be something special about the character that draws me to the film. When I read the Kick script I thought my character was hilarious, so I said yes. I thought it was a great project to be a part of.

The second installment of Anurag’s gangland epic Gangs of Wasseypur is finally out. Originally played back to back with part one at the Cannes Film Festival, the second part is literally the same film continued from where the first left off. If you want to refresh or introduce yourself to the first one here is our review for you again. For the rest of you who have been waiting since the first part, what you really need to know is what happened next? Was part two worth the wait? Is part two as good as the first? And for those who have held off, should I now go and watch them both back to back? Read on for all your answers and more…
Without giving the plot away, part one ended with the death of Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpai) and part two opens with his corpse being received by his family members.

I don’t usually begin interviews with a synopsis and a trailer, but for this one I think I must, to give you an idea about what Faiza Ahmad Khan’s Supermen of Malegaon is all about.
Malegaon, a small town tucked away near the heart of India geographically, is fraught with communal tension and under economic depression. To escape the harsh reality of their world, its people seek refuge in the fantastical world of cinema.
This passion for cinema has spurred a group of cinema enthusiasts to make their own films-quirky, low budget, socially aware and notoriously funny spoofs of Bollywood films. Their ambition has grown and now they are ready to take on Hollywood and Superman.
We follow them on this journey. At times funny, tragic, contemplative. Always warm and engaging. And as the film begins to take shape, through schemes and approaches that are sublimely ingenious, simply bizarre and purely hysterical,...

Anurag Kashyap’s name (No Smoking, DevD) has become synonymous with new age Indian cinema, which pushes boundaries and offers an alternative to the mainstream commercial offerings from Bollywood which many have become accustomed to. Gangs of Wasseypur (Gow), fresh from its critical reception at Cannes Film Festival, is part one of a self-styled almost 6 hour epic mafia film, set in the hinterlands of northern India. The central concept of the film is revenge, coupled with the rise of warring clans. It is similar to the revenge Leonardo Dicaprio sought from Daniel Day Lewis in Scorsese’s Gangs of New York, or Amitabh Bachchan fought for in Mukul Anand’s Agneepath. In Gow this revenge is laid out very early in the film by a young Manoj Bajpai, in the name of his father’s death (also played by Manoj Bajpai) and will clearly culminate in part 2 of the film.

We have a cool treat just for BollySpice readers! Here’s an exclusive image of the original ‘Vijay Dinanath Chauhan’ with the Bollywood maestro Late Yash Johar on the sets of Agneepath (1990). It has left such an impression that even after 22 years down the dialogues echo in our heads. And thanks to the remake, the movie is revived. The original Agneepath had Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Deenanath Chavan, Alok Nath as Master, Danny Denzongpa as Kancha Cheena, Neelam Kothari as Siksha Chavan.
Plot
The film begins with a morally upright and honest Gandhian Schoolmaster, Deenanath Chauhan(Alok Nath), teaching his son, Vijay about a poem, ‘Agneepath’, which describes ‘The Path of Fire’ which a man must cross in his life. This theme becomes an integral part of the story. Master Deenanath is a well-loved person, who wishes to bring education to the Village, Mandwa. However, his wish is not shared by a corrupt jamindar,...

The script has changed in Bollywood in the last 60 years - the women are more worldly, the men more macho and the cinema itself more techno-savvy, almost as good as Hollywood, says veteran cinema writer and critic Bhaichand Patel..The women in Hindi cinema are more assertive though no less beautiful (than yesteryear ones), they often smoke on screen and they are equal to men. Mainstream cinema has been a good trend-setter for equality of gender - it is happening now,. Patel told us..The hero, however, has not changed as much as women though they - the crop represented by Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan - are a little more physical and action-oriented than the early superstars like Dilip Kumar and Raj Kumar..A former Un official, Patel studied filmmaking at New York University.His new book, Bollywood.s Top 20: Superstars of Indian Cinema launched Monday,...

1973’s chartbuster Zanjeer will be remade and hopefully star many a fans’ all-time favourite actress Priyanka Chopra. The film back then was directed and produced by Prakash Mehra, but this time it will be directed by Apoorva Lakhia and co-produced by Amit Mehra (Prakash Mehra’s son) and Reliance Entertainment. Now, it hasn’t been given the final nod but it’s been said that Priyanka “is very excited about this offer and is fast working out her dates for it.”
A friend says, “Priyanka has seen Prakash Mehra’s Zanjeer several times”. If she agrees she’ll be taking on Jaya Bachchan’s role, only this time playing an Nri café owner instead of a street performer like the original. If everything goes well and Priyanka does give the okay it’ll be the third remake movie of Amitabh Bachchan’s movies she’s done with first and second being Don and Agneepath.

Action movies are back in style and every actor worth a punch at the box office is getting back into to action in a big way. Ghajini in 2008 was the first action masala movie with a big star after a long time and took audiences by storm. Then followed Salman Khan’s Wanted in 2009, his Dabangg in 2010, Ajay Devgan’s Singham in 2011 and Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath earlier this year. Each film smashed records at the box office, crossing the 100 crore mark and bringing back the single screen nostalgia for action films – the grand hero entry, bravado performances and gripping tales. They also generated interest within the multiplex audiences, who were used to watching family dramas and glitzy romantic films set abroad.

Amitabh Bachchan's iconic Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is still etched in the memories of film connoisseurs. We are obviously talking about Big B's character in the iconic Agneepath that won the megastar a National award. Delving into the past, as is known to most who have knowledge about Hindi cinema during the eighties and early nineties, despite much critical accolades, Amitabh's voice modulation turned out to be the achilles heel for Agneepath.

Hrithik Roshan says his performance in Agneepath should not be compared with Amitabh Bachchan. The actor, who reprises the iconic role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the remake of the '90s classic, told The Times of India it was unfair to compare the two actors. "You can't compare [with Amitabh]. If you start comparing, I will fail in a second. said Roshan. "I feel people are not saying that I have done as well, but I think what they are saying is I have done well in my way and they are cheering for me. "I don't even want to analyse. There are no comparisons in my head." Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara star Roshan has received widespread acclaim for his performance in the remake, produced by Karan Johar and directed by debutant Karan Malhotra. He has described it as the hardest (more)...

Remakes definitely have it tough. Not only do they have to go through the usual grind of pleasing the audiences and doing well at the box office, they also have to bear the added burden of comparisons with the original. And in most cases, the huge expectations and comparisons often kill the remake. Agneepath is a remake of the 1990 Yash Johar production – a movie which was a box office failure but went on to become a cult – and there’s no doubt that people are waiting to decide whether this one works better than the original or not. Truly speaking, Agneepath is more of a tribute rather than a remake; it pays homage to the original, it itself states that the cult is difficult to recreate but at the same time urges you to watch it without any pre-notions. I am going to do this movie a favor – I will...

The Amitabh Bachchan starrer blockbuster Agneepath still lingers in the hearts of many. Amitabh's portrayal of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is one of the most celebrated characters of Bollywood films, while Danny Dengzongpa became synonymous with Kancha Cheena. Dharma Productions revisits the film with Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt in the key roles. While Hrithik portrays Vijay, Sanjay takes over the menacing Kancha Cheena. Debutant Karah Malhotra helms the director's baton.

Seems that a remake of a classic once again can take the box office by storm. Agneepath, which is a new telling of the classic Amitabh Bachchan starrer is well on its way to be an iconic film itself and it has only been in the theater for one day. The Karan Malhotra directed Agneepath, starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra had absoultely incredible opening day numbers. The film has already raked in approximately over 20 crore! If at the end of the day that number indeed ends up to be true or, as it is looking to be, even higher it will be the biggest opening day ever.
Audiences are so loving this film in India that at every showing we hear there are whistles, claps and screams and more! At a theater fans actually were putting garlands on the posters and hoardings.

It’s a huge risk remaking a film like Agneepath, which (we believe) is one of the toughest Amitabh Bachchan films to remake. Apart from Bachchan’s performance as the iconic Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, the Agneepath of the 90s was a box-office failure. Producer Yash Johar who had put his heart and soul into making the original, was heart broken when the film failed commercially.

While addressing the press conference, Hrithik, denied claims that he is emulating Amitabh Bachchan's portrayal of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the film.
"If you are going to enter the theatre to compare me with him (Amitabh Bachchan), I am going to lose in probably the first five seconds, because first of all I am not as tall. But it was refreshing for me to hear a subject that could have been interpreted like this as this Vijay (character name) is in deep.

People will come to see Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, but when they will look at me, they will think he doesn't look like Vijay, he is nothing like Vijay. He is nobody, he doesn't have a style, he doesn't have that swagger...that walk, not even the voice," Hrithik said in an interview."This Vijay was not Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. He is a simple man.

Of course, one of the biggest things that always gains the most attention is which actors and actresses will be chosen as the jodi for the film. For many fans it can be that pairing that will make or break any film more than the lack of script or direction. With Bollywood’s continuing affair with screen romance fans have been treated to some epic jodis like Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in Ddlj and more recently Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma, which proved to be the crutch of Patiala House.
