Amour | The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 | Mental | Up There | Hit So Hard | Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet | Happy Happy | The Pool | Son Of Sardar
Amour (12A)
(Michael Haneke, 2012, Aus/Fra/Ger) Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, 127 mins
Most romantic stories are beginnings; this is the endgame – the "till death us do part", as experienced by a cultured, elderly French couple after the wife's stroke. Call it a last slow dance in Paris. Watching body, mind and possibly love slowly diminish in their claustrophobic apartment, Haneke's gaze is stately and unflinching. However, there's also a slight remove, making this less emotional than you'd expect but rich in deeper themes.

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.

Mumbai, Nov 9: Her next release is Ashwni Dhir's "Son of Sardaar" (Sos), coming out on Diwali, and she is also shooting for "Dabangg 2". But Sonakshi Sinha believes "Lootera" is her toughest project ever.
The movie, which also features Ranveer Singh, is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane of "Udaan" fame.
"'Lootera', in terms of look and character has been my toughest. I hope people like it. Working with Vikramaditya was like going back to school. He is a wonderful director in terms of getting out a performance. Going back to 1950s is not an easy thing to do," she said.
"Lootera" is slated to release in 2013, but before.

"Ajay Devgn is not an over the top actor. We have good Punjabi humour in the film. It is all about the dialogues and it is not a slapstick comedy. It is large than life but not over the top," Dhir told Ians.

Check out Salman Khan in a cool special appearance with Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, and Sanjay Dutt groovin to the beat of the ‘Po Po’ song from Son of Sardaar. The fun comedy was directed by Ashwani Dhir with the music by Himesh Reshammiya. ‘Po Po’ with its full on Punjabi beat is sung by Vikas Bhalla, Aman Trikha, and Himesh Reshammiya. Apparently it was Salman who had Ajay listen to this song awhile ago and then when Son of Sardaar came around Ajay not only asked if he could use the song, he also asked Sallu to dance to the beat and what a great show it is!
Be sure to watch for Ajay, Salman and Sanjay Dutt making Po Po expressions in the song. Yes, you read that right!

The report even went on to say that Kajol declined the movie due to her household commitments and suggested Sonakshi's name instead.

The team always had Sonakshi in mind for this role. She was the first heroine who was approached and she gave a nod to the film immediately. News about any other actress being approached for the role is absolutely untrue.

Mumbai, Aug 23: Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha's 'Son of Sardar' directed by Ashwani Dhir landed in controversy soup. The film which features even Sanjay Dutt and Juhi Chawla caught the attention of all with its teasers and first look posters. However all that euphoria evaporated when a senior lawyer slapped a legal notice to producer and actor Ajay Devgn for hurting religious sentiments of Sikh community. Lawyer Navkiran Singh after watching the film's official trailer on youtube felt that Sikhs are shown in "bad light" in some parts of the movie.

Despite appearing in action film Rowdy Rathore this year, Sonakshi Sinha and action stunts are not a familiar combination but it seems the new box office star looks to change that come the release of Son of Sardaar. Despite having limited experience on riding bikes, Sonakshi is set to take to the wheels Dhoom style for the film.
“Son of Sardaar is all about attitude and it was given that Sonakshi had to do something more than just play a ‘soni kudi’. Ajay Devgn is already riding horses in this rustic ‘desi’ film while Sanjay Dutt is accentuating his imposing personality by driving powerful jeeps. It was felt that a similar trait had to be added to Sonakshi’s characterisation as well and this is where it was decided that she would be riding a bike,” informs a source close to the film.

It was just eight years ago that Irshad Kamil started out with Chameli moving on to Socha Na Tha, Ahista Ahista, Karam, Shabd and more. The good times did not take long to start rolling, beginning with Jab We Met, and rapidly progressing to Love Aaj Kal, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Action Replayy, Mausam, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Desi Boyz and Rockstar. The lyricist, however, is in no hurry of any kind. "I want to work hard and with complete honesty," he says candidly. "I am not in the game of trying to show that I am a big-name lyricist - I would like to be content even being a Raja Mehndi Ali Khansaab, a small name with an impeccable reputation. I have never been impatient in the matter of fame or money. I turn down films whose stories I do not like.
