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.

Although Farhan Akhtar had scripted his debut film DIL CHAHTA HAI, his next film – LAKSHYA – won’t be scripted by the talented director, but by his father, writer Javed Akhtar. The reason? “That’s because the idea is dad’s,” Zoya Akhtar, Farhan’s sister, reveals, “When dad bounced off the idea of LAKSHYA to Farhan, he liked it immensely and that’s how dad decided to pen the script.”

Meanwhile, LAKSHYA is all set to roll in April with non-stop shooting. The final cast is Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Sushant Singh and Om Puri.

Samina Peerzada will act opposite Indian film star Om Puri in a co-produced drama serial, sources told Daily Times on Thursday.

Sources said Ms Peerzada signed the 13-episode serial and would play lead role opposite Mr Ompuri. According to reports, serial producer Humanyun Saeed has requested Ms Peerzada to perform in the serial written by Karachi-based writer Seema Ghazal. The name of the serial has not yet been decided, however, it revolves around the story of a family settled in Dubai.

Govinda and David Dhawan, the ever popular comedy double-act are united once again for Kunwara. This time round David Dhawan’s comedy crown is slipping.

BUT, and it’s a big BUT, this time round David Dhawan and Govinda completely fail to deliver an imaginative story line.

The story starts with Urmila plotting revenge on Govinda forKunwara something he hasn’t done. She follows him to Switzerland and (would you believe it?) they fall in love, but he is forced to return to India. They decide to tell their parents and agree to marry when Urmila returns.
