Mumbai, Dec 26: Director Samir Tewari has roped in Arshad Warsi for his debut film "Mr Joe B. Carvalho". He says that the actor is very versatile, but his potential hasn't been fully utilised yet.
Samir Tewari told Ians: "Arshad is a great actor. Can you imagine 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.' without him? He is an incredible actor, but he is the most underrated and unutilised actor."
Post the success of "Munna Bhai" series, Arshad is mostly seen in funny roles despite the fact that he won lots of critical acclaim for his work in "Sehar".
"The problem is people tend to get easily typecast in the industry. Arshad can pull off serious and intense roles so well. I have seen his 'Ishqiya' where his role is intense. He is certainly.

Munna Bhai Mbbs and sequel Lage Raho Munna Bhai had Bollywood audiences crying with side splitting laughter.
The heart warming comedy and the Mumbai hooligan antics came with a message. Whilst Munna Bhai Mbbs had the protagonist “Munna Bhai”, a lovable Mumbai hoodlum, become a faux- medical student who “cured” people through his humour and good heart, the second instalment had Munna Bhai don the disguise of a faux- history professor. Becoming an expert on Gandhi and Gandhism, Munna Bhai attempted to win the heart of his love through his supposed knowledge. However, through the lies and deceit, he finds himself haunted by a Gandhi who won’t let his guilty conscious alone.
Along with these social and personal lessons, came a whole of fun…
The “Jaddo ki Jhappi” (Magical hug)
The “Bole Tau!” (What I mean “homie” is…)
The “Aae Mamu!” (You fool!)
And these antics are to make a grand return.

It is arguable that Suddhir Mishra’s Inkaar may not have scope for music, but over the years situational tracks for non-musical features have proven to be musically appealing, the likes of Shor in the City and Shanghai being proof of it. Therefore, Inkaar cannot be readily dismissed.
The musical-lyrical duo of Shantanu Moitra and Swanand Kirkire (3 Idiots, Parineeta and Munna Bhai series) are at the helm of Inkaar. The soundtrack compromises of five tracks and features the musical talents of Suraj Jaggan (‘Sadka Kiya’ – I Hate Luv Storys and ‘Afatoon Ke Parindey’ – Ishaqzaade), Swanadand Kirkire amongst others.
The album commences with Darmiyaan, a pseudo-sufi sung by Swanand Kirikire. Its beginning suggests a sufi/rock fusion and therefore once anticipates a promising start to the album but ‘Darmiyaan’ falters. Lyrically, the track is sound but vocally and musically it favours the unremarkable. Kirikire’s performance, arguably intended to be raw...

This Diwali it’s double dhaka: Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardar (Sos) versus Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Now, we are not comparing the two here, that is for you to do, we will simply let you know if it is worth selecting Sos as your Diwali movie choice. Directed by Ashwni Dhir (Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge), produced by Ajay Devgn and with music by Himesh Reshammiya, on the surface Sos is the film of the ‘masses’, whilst Jab Tak Hai Jaan looks to be the film of the ‘classes’. This one is a comedy potboiler, whilst the other is a romantic saga. This one is set in Punjab, whilst the other waltz’s through London. So with the comparison’s over, here is what we thought.
The story in a nutshell is Sardar Devgn travels home to Punjab from the UK, to lay claim to his ancestral land.

Sanjay Dutt is creating quite a stir with his latest portrayal as Kancha – the monstrous villain in Agneepath but Sanjay Dutt has been around for a while are there are two roles that deserve special applause. Most of his critically acclaimed roles are in movies that have come from the Vinod Chopra Camp.
In his movie Eklavya, he portrayed a pot-bellied, rotund and seemingly corrupt, Inspector Pannalal Chohaar. His performance showed a completely different side of the actor. It marked him as a man- unafraid to give up the glamour of his persona and enter the character’s skin.
In the movie Mission Kashmir, Sanjay played the role of Inayat Khan, a tough cop who deals with both terrorism and familial baggage thanks to losing a young son in a tragic accident. Dutt gave off a subtle performance with an appropriately stiff upper lip. One could even risk saying that...

Names like Raju Hirani and Pradeep Sarkar are the best examples of debut directors from the Vcf camp, to have raised the bar of excellence. Raju Hirani’s directorial debut Munna Bhai M.B.B.S was a huge success in 2003. The movie starring Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi went on to win the national Film Award for the Best Popular Film, several Film Fare Awards including the Critic Award for the Best movie. It was also the fifth highest grossing movie of that year.

Mumbai, Dec 29: In last one decade, whatever good films Vidhu Vinod Chopra has filmed, out of that Munna Bhai series is without doubt the best of the lot. As far as the entertainment films are in question, it was really Chopra’s success backed by Rajkumar Hirani and the actor Sanjay Dutta. In fact, last Munna Bhai was released in 2006 and after that, some controversies were coming up regarding few changes in the next episode. Whatever was expected was that the changes will take place with the actor Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi.
