You seem to be the Queen of Big Budget films. After the super-duper ‘Race’ and ‘Singh Is Kinng’, you have yet another biggie lined up for release — ‘Yuvvraaj’. How does it feel?

It feels great but I don’t think budget has anything to do with the quality of a film. It’s the content and presentation which matters at the end of the day. Yuvvraaj being a musical drama, it calls for grand visuals and a certain larger than life canvas.

The film seems like a complete entertaining drama. Could you tell us something more about the film?

Mugdha Godse is thrilled with the kind of response she has been getting ever since Fashion released exactly a week back. Her phone continues to be flooded with messages while congratulatory calls haven’t stopped flowing in.

In fact her success story seems similar to that of the character played by Priyanka Chopra, who arrives from nowhere and goes on to be a supermodel. Though in real life Mugdha does have a supermodel tag to boast, on screen Fashion has turned out to be the first step that she has taken en route to bigger success.

Madhur’s best work till date

Director: Madhur Bhandarkar

When she first came into limelight as Miss India and then Miss Universe, Lara Dutta seemed to be a terribly intelligent dame. But after eight long years it seems she just doesn’t know how to play her cards right.

Priyanka Chopra who came second to her at the pageant that year (2000), went on to become Miss World, made her debut alongside Lara in 2003 and left her miles behind. PC has worked in big films and with almost every big hero in town, while Lara seems to be stuck in the same place! After working in flop movies and doing bit parts in multi-starrers what more could she expect anyway?

My most reliable test of judging a fantasy film is whether I notice the person sitting in the next seat - if I do, that means the film wasn’t gripping enough for me to be totally absorbed in it.

That’s what a fantasy film should do - transport you into its imaginary world and haul you back only when the end credits roll - for that matter, any film should do that.

Drona didn’t pass the test.

It is known news that Priyanka Chopra is playing the body guard of Abhishek Bachchan in ‘Drona’. But we have found that her role in the film is modelled completely on the Trinity character played by actress Carrie-Ann Moss in the super hit Matrix series films.

Priyanka refuses to kiss onscreen, even if it’s her own real life boyfriend Harman Baweja. In her new movie Love Story 2050, though a kiss was part of the script, Priyanka refused stating there are ‘certain things’ she won’t do onscreen. She refused to kiss her real life boyfriend, only to prevent other filmmakers who would have accused her of preferential treatment.

Finally, the first promo of Dostana produced under Karan Johar’s banner Dharma Productions and directed by Tarun Mansukhani was unveiled along with the prints of Bachna Ae Haseeno. Dostana starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol in the lead is all set for a November 14th release. The film also has a song featuring Shilpa Shetty dancing along John and Abhishek on the Miami beaches.

Rating: ***

Known to be inspired by 2003 released Hollywood flick ‘Bruce Almighty’, God Tussi Great Ho has the spontaneous performance of Salman Khan but the depiction of script is a problem. Comedy is non uniform in the film and a few scenes are impressively acceptable. The songs of the film are choreographed well but the songs are rather disappointing for not being innovative.

Andaaz features with a very impressive and noticeable star cast, Akshay Kumar with two internationally recognized beauty queens making their debut with this movie, which include Priyanka Chopra (Ex-Miss World) and Lara Dutta (Ex-Miss Universe) respectively whereas Akshay plays a lead role opposite both of these beauties. His role is considered to be fully action packed but here until now, what trailer shows, it is a love triangle and romantic movie. If so, then it would be a new and nice change in his career. The last movie of Akshay ‘Talash’ couldn’t make a big boost at the box office and so the whole crew including him is focusing on this glamorous venture to hit the jackpot!
