Heroes: Why should you not join the Indian Army?

‘Heroes’, which was originally set to be released on June 6, 2008, hit the theaters on October 24, 2008, as a part of a ‘Diwali’ movie extravaganza. Samir Karnik, who directed Vivek Oberoi & Aishwarya Rai starrer ‘Kyun! Ho gaya na’, is the director of the movie. The film stars Sohail Khan, Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta, Dino Morea, Amrita Arora and Vatsal Seth. Aseem Arora has written the story of this 20 crore- budget movie, which is going to be released under the banner of Eros Entertainment in India.

Originally ‘Heroes’ was titled ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’ (My India is Great). However, the title was changed at a later stage to its current name, as the producer and director wanted to avoid making it sound like a patriotic flick.

‘Heroes’ revolves round a student group, who are studying together in a film-making college. They (Sohail Khan & Vatsal Seth) are sent away for filming a documentary. The topic, which they choose for their documentary, is ‘Why should you not join the Indian Army’. For their project, they go on a long road trip (From Delhi to Chandigarh & then Manali to Ladakh). On the way, they try figuring out the reason why each and every vehicle passing by is having ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’ as its logo. Again, they come across several characters related to the Indian Army (in one way or the other) during their journey. All of these characters have a major impact on the life of these two students.

The music of this film has been composed by Sajid-Wajid & Monty. Lyrics (written by Sameer, Rahul B. Seth and Jalees Sherwani) of most of its song, especially ‘Mannata’, have been highly appreciated by everyone.

‘Heroes’ has been one of the most awaited arrivals of the festive season. With a star-studded cast, Samir Karnik will be looking forward to grab the attention of the global audience.

Karz: Remake of an 80s classic-Movie Music and songs Review

Himesh Reshammiya is back again with his new venture ‘Karz’, remake of the 1980 Subhash Ghai’s blockbuster of the same name. Directed by Satish Kaushik and released under the banner of T-Series Limited, the movie is all set to have a worldwide release on October 17, 2008. Himesh Reshammiya will be acting alongside Anna Kumar and Urmila Mantodkar (playing the role of a vamp) in the movie.

Karz is a story of Ravi Verma, who gets murdered by his wife Kamini (Urmila Mantodkar) on the day of their marriage. Ravi is reborn as young Monty Oberoi (Himesh Reshammiya), who is a popular singer and heartthrob of the nation. Images from his previous life continue to haunt Monty, even when he is fully awake. He decides to revisit the place, where the incident took place, only to uncover an old murder mystery and save Ravi’s family from Kamini’s wrath.

Himesh has a huge task in hand of doing justice to the role played by Rishi Kapoor, which was highly praised by critics more than a couple of decades back. Again, it will be difficult for him to recreate the same magic through his music and voice that the combination of Laxmikant Pyarelal and Kishore Kumar had on the global audience. Even the concept of reincarnation might not receive the same response from the audience, as it did in the early 80s. Henceforth, Director Satish Kaushik along with Producers Bhushan & Inder Kumar has their tasks cut out for them. All eyes would also be on Anna Kumar, daughter of Producer Inder Kumar, who will be making her debut in the movie as the lead, opposite to Himesh. She will be playing the role of Tina Munim from the 80s classic.

With the release of the movie only a week away, everyone will be having their fingers crossed for its box office report. With one flop already under his belt in Aap Ka Saroor, Himesh will be hoping that this film gives him the needed launching pad for his acting career.
