Ram Gopal Varma held a press conference for his new film Rann which is a commentary on the media through different characters such as an investigative journalist, a media baron, politicians and ordinary citizens.

Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Neetu Chandra, and Gul Panag attended the press meet to discuss their roles in the film and working with RGV.

RGV clarified that the film isn’t about media bashing (even though he has tense relations with the media folk over the years with his directorial ventures),  “I expose the media by showing its true colours…the pressures, problems and complexities in running a 24 hour news channel.”

Check out the trailer (below)

Eeeeeeeeeee. Looks brilliant!

How HAAAAWWWTTT does everyone look in the annual Calendar by Filmy Photographer extraordinaire Dabboo Ratnani!

Our faaaaaaaaaaves have to be Vidya Balan (she looks smokin with aptly placed feathers), Priyanka Chopra (hair and makeup is EEEE), Ranbir Kapoor (those abs!) and Hrithik Roshan (he fully looks like Jesus!).

If you haven’t seen the film…GO SEE IT (you can also read our review)!

Sometimes there are just some films with such simplicity and purity that they resonate long after the credits are rolling. Paa is one such film, from the opening scene where school children display their vision of India to the final scene of the climax, one can’t help reveling in the uplifting message of love, love and love in the film.

5 Reasons you MUST meet Auro:

1. Amitabh Bachchan. What can I really say here..he is the best of the best of the best of the best! He plays a 13 year-old inflicted with progeria so effectively that at one point my PIC (partner-in-crime) turned to me and said “Wow, how do they make his eyes look so old with all those little marks and that greyness? Oh my god I forgot its Amitabh Bachchan underneath all that makeup!”

2. Abhishek Bachchan. No doubt he is his father’s son and has inherited his acting repertoire genetically but Jr AB REALLY owns the film. He is subtle, charismatic and so flawless as the politician Amol Arte its lovely to watch him on screen.

3. Vidya Balan is such a delight as Maa. Flowing through her scenes in Sabyasachi sarees as she loves and spoils Auro, works as a Gynecologist and takes care of her mother, you come to realize that in the perfect role, VB shines like the sun!

5. Auro’s bff Pratik. He’s the studious one with the glasses who wants to be a dancer. The exchange between Pratik and Auro on the phone is so precious (and priceless)!

So what you waiting for?!?!

4 mirchies/5.
