If you thought that Indian filmmakers were not competent enough to come out with a hardcore super-duper entertaining animation flick, then you’re sadly mistaken for now ‘Yash Raj Films’ (YRF), who have been under a public scanner for making films a mere business or a ploy to mint money. They have also been weathering accusations that they have reduced to being sheer businessmen, and have come up with a product that will hopefully put an end to such indictments.

The much awaited comedy flick of 2008, Sing Is Kinng has got all the ingredients needed to make a good masala film. It has the maximum dose of laughter with a mixture of drama and emotions which will definitely keep you glued to the silver screen. But like most of Bollywood’s comedy movies, you would have to leave your brains behind before you occupy your seat in a theatre and one is sure to have a satisfactory smile, once he or she vacant the seat and step out of the theatre. The only loophole in this otherwise master piece is its second half. Where the first half of the film is extremely entertaining, one expects an even better second but unfortunately, it pales in comparison.

Forget the behind-the-scenes drama, the Zee Cine Awards in Dubai last weekend truly rocked. More than anything else, it made a genuine effort to cement the Indo-Pak relations further, which have been on an upswing in the recent times. Simply put, Bollywood and Lollywood were akin to the ambassadors of peace that night.

Hosting a majestic show not in India, not in Pakistan, but in a third country (Dubai, U.A.E.) and assembling the biggies of Bollywood (Big B, Dharmendra, SRK, the Roshans, Preity Zinta, Urmila, Sushmita Sen, Saif Ali Khan, Randhir and Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapur, Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi) and Lollywood (Reema, Resham, Jawed Sheikh, Umar Sharif) was an effort in the right direction and the management of Zee deserves bouquets for it.
