Shreyas Talpade: The quicksilver of the silver screen
16 June 2009 8:40 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
When it comes to Bollywood, one can choose to be either a good actor or a commercially viable hero. Guess the only one who has struck a balance between the two is Aamir Khan. No, that’s also not true. There is one more name, Shreyas Talpade. Yes, yes, before you say the two cannot be compared, we are not comparing either. Just driving home the point that Shreyas can be a great actor and at the same time a commercially viable hero too.
Iqbal, Dor, Dil Dosti Etc, Welcome to Sajjanpur… Films that you couldn’t particularly call big budget films; neither. »

Will Wanted be Ayesha Takia's swan song! - News
16 May 2009 12:17 AM, PDT | GlamSham | See recent GlamSham news »
Ayesha Takia, the pretty, innocent girl next door, made a lot of promise with her bubbly act in Imtiaz Ali's Socha Na Tha. Even though the film did not do well at the ticket window, Ayesha was instantly likeable and the movie too was critically appreciated. Ayesha then went on to do many films, but unfortunately none of them succeeded at the box-office. The only film that tasted average success (that too in select centres) was Dor, where once again Ayesha was highly appreciated for her superb portrayal of a young widow, winning her many awards. Even an extremely well made Sunday sank at the ticket window. Despite being a commercial failure, Ayesha kept getting good write ups and continues to... »
Nagesh - Shreyas together?
14 May 2009 12:24 AM, PDT | BollywoodHungama | See recent BollywoodHungama news »
Are Nagesh Kukunoor and Shreyas Talpade getting together? The director-actor combo has worked in Iqbal, Dor and Bombay To Bangkok in the past and there's talk that Kukunoor is planning to cast Shreyas in his next film, based on the life of legendary singer Kishore Kumar. True? "I too have heard this, although Nagesh hasn't approached me yet. But knowing Nagesh and his penchant for perfection, I'd love to be a part of the project. I can never refuse him," Shreyas tells me. Shreyas has several movies slated for release this year, starting with Paying Guests. Not many know this but Shreyas has played a 'woman' is almost 60% of this film. "That's what got me hooked. I wanted to play a woman at least once in my career and here I was. We [Javed Jaffrey and Shreyas] had fun dressing up and acting like a woman. There's a thin line that divides class and »

Movie Review: '8x10 Tasveer'
3 April 2009 10:35 AM, PDT | India.com | See recent India.com news »
Do I really need to tell you how achingly, appallingly bad '8x10 Tasveer' is?
Director Nagesh Kukunoor is officially the Francis Ford Coppola of Bollywood - both the honchos started off with a stunning offbeat film (Hyderabad Blues/The Rain People) then fleshed out outright masterpieces (Teen Deewaren, Dor, Iqbal/ Godfather 1&2, The Conversation) and finally burned out with a big budget flick (Bombay to Bankok/Apocalypse Now).
Although 'Apocalypse Now' is still considered a masterpiece by many, Coppola never recovered from it's torturous shoot and has since delivered stinkers. Nagesh Kukunoor isn't quite far behind.
'8x10 Tasveer' is a below average thriller packaged as a glossy commodity. The film is so overblown and underwhelming, you'd wish you suffered from the Hero's curse of tapping into the mind of Mr. Kukunoor to figure out what he was thinking five minutes before he began writing the screenplay.

Nagesh’s strange plea
3 April 2009 3:40 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Nagesh Kukunoor was never like this.
‘Hyderabad Blues’ was a path breaking kind of film in the 90s and then later on he went on to make much appreciated movies like ‘Iqbal’ and ‘Dor’.
But now he seems to be getting jittery over the release of his film ‘8×10 Tasveer’ today.
Maybe the fact that his last film, ‘Bombay to Bangkok’ bombed badly and the fact that ‘Tasveer’ and his other movie ‘Aashayein’ are stuck for long, has made him so.
He has actually sent an. »
