Ismail Darbar Apologises Over Oscar Comment


After rumours about the Academy planning to sue him for $50,000 million, Ismail Darbar, who had accused AR Rahman of having bought the Oscar awards, says he is ready to apologise.

The musician had indicted Rahman, who received two Oscars in 2008 Best Original Score and Best Original Song for his music in Slumdog Millionaire, of having paid for them.

Following this, there was scuttlebutt that The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences might sue him for insinuating that the awards can be bought.

Darbar now says he has nothing against the Oscars and that he just wanted to warn his 'friend' Rahman for churning out inferior quality music since last one year.

Darbar says, "I am grateful that I have been respected in the industry for my work. I did say some things about Rahman, because as a friend I want to jolt him out of his reverie and start giving good music. I chose a public platform to do it, because he wouldn't listen to me otherwise. I have nothing against the Oscars. It is the most respected award, the whole world acknowledges it, and I do, too. If any of them (Academy) are hurt by my comments, I apologise to them."

Darbar says he is not saying this out of fear of anyone, but God.

"I am not scared. The truth is, I realise that those people who respected me for my work, might misunderstand me and think I am baddimaag (arrogant person). Also, the fact is, I can have nothing against the Oscar panel or those behind the awards. My issue was with Rahman and I guess he's got the message by now," he said.

ya... the whole world's got the message.

Thanks you suresh

Lagaan.

What can I say about this film? I'm just a grain and a really miniscule fraction
of the population that stood up with their hands on their heart feeling the pride
of nation, regardless of their origin i.e. Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi.

If the Empire didn't arrive at the sub-continent, would there really be 3
countries or division.

Back to the topic – All songs can't be explained in mere words but the songs
that initially had me going were Chale chalo and Oh paalanhaare. Who would've
thought that Oh paalanhaare would start the triology followed by pal pal hai
bhari and mann mohana. With time Radha kaise na jale became the most heard song
for me and watching this song as stage performances many times ignited my
interest in this song furthermore.

However in terms of picturisation, I would say Ghanan ghanan is my pick from the
film and may be to a lesser extent, O re chori.

But for a deeper feel, Radha kaise na jale is the best song whether heard on
headphones or speakers. The percussion compliments the instrumentation so well.

Along with Radha kaise na jale the other song that equally catapulted to
forefront of my playlist was the theme song. Theme songs like this are not
churned every day and neither do they genrally/often appear for patriotic
movies. ARR redefined the music scene with this film once again or should I say,
"..... Once upon a time in india".

Ashutosh Gowarikar is all set to make a sequel of his critically acclaimed film ‘Swades’. According to the sources, Ashutosh is in talks to retain Shah Rukh Khan, who played Mohan Bhargava a NRI in the prequel.

“I am planning to make ‘Swades 2’ but it’s too early to talk about it,” said Gowarikar who denied to divulge more details about the story.

The sources also informed that though SRK is the first choice of the filmmaker, there shall be change as far as actress in the film is concerned. Gayatri Joshi was introduced opposite Khan in ‘Swades’ but since she has quit the industry after marriage, a new replacement is being considered.
Sources added that the story board is like a second chapter where Mohan Bhargava, the protagonist will be on a journey to set up basic amenities for another part of rural India.

The 200 odd minutes film ‘Swades’ which had a message for every Indian who desired to make his name abroad when his soil needed him the most is all set to move forward with a sequel which will show the NRI trying his best for the upliftment of his fellow Indian citizens.

Thanks - Daily Bhaskar

Akshay Kumar's Ko

Akshay Kumar is very excited about his remake of Ko and is putting together a team as quickly as possible. RS Infotainment and Fox will be producing this venture jointly. Daredevil that Akshay is, he loved the stunts in Ko and wants to do the same on a larger scale in his version.

Anthony D'Souza aka Tony will be wielding the directorial baton. He had formerly worked with Akshay in the debacle Blue. Word is that AR Rahman will be doing the score. Karthika might be the heroine but that bit of news is awaiting confirmation. There is no word on who will do Piaa's part.
