Aamir Khan makes peace with Big B

A Bollywood cold war ended when Aamir Khan dropped in for a chat with Amitabh Bachchan.

The three-month-long standoff between the two was triggered when Aamir was reported to have made some uncharitable remarks about the Big B’s prized film “Black” on a deaf, blind and mute girl.

Confirming the unexpected development, Amitabh told IANS: “Yes, Aamir came to meet me. He was shooting next door at Mehboob Studios and dropped in to say hi. As simple as that.”

‘Taare Zameen Par’, ‘Race’ to be released in Pakistan

UTV, which released “Taare Zameen Par” and “Race” in India, will release both the movies in Pakistan March 28.

Siddharth Roy Kapoor, UTV executive vice president marketing, distribution and syndication, told IANS Saturday that while the Pakistani censor board issued a universal certificate (U) for “Taare Zameen Par” without any cuts, it ordered a few minor cuts in “Race” before granting it a universal/adult (U/A) certificate.

Both the films, for which UTV has worldwide distribution rights, are being released in 15 cinemas each in five major Pakistani cities.

Geo TV and Egar Films are UTV’s distribution partners in Pakistan.

UTV had also released “Goal” in Pakistan earlier and the movie, according to Kapoor, earned more there than from the UAE market.

Now with “Taare Zameen Par” and “Race”, UTV is the only Indian company to have three releases in a row in Pakistan.

“I am confident that as in India, both the movies will do fair business in Pakistan as well though the exhibition sector of the film industry there is in the doldrums right now,” said Kapoor.

Aamir Khan film on dyslexia an eye-opener for Bengal teachers

Aamir Khan’s film “Taare Zameen Par” has been an eye-opener for harried schoolteachers in West Bengal’s Burdwan district.

At their wits’ end in dealing with recalcitrant children, teachers in the district, around 273 km from Kolkata, have found the film “inspirational enough” to tackle slow-learners and habitual troublemakers in the class.

The district primary school council has obtained video CDs of the film and is playing them for 4,500 teachers under the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan. The weeklong training for primary school teachers is meant to stress the need for a “proper and joyful learning system”.

In the film, Aamir Khan, who plays an art teacher, helps fellow teachers, an eight-year-old boy and his parents come to terms with the child’s learning disability (dyslexia).

Aamir Khan’s novel teaching methods and sensitivity to the child’s problem help unravel the ordinary student’s extraordinary talent in painting. The boy, once derided by teachers, is much admired.

Aamir Khan is quite upset about his personal life

Aamir Khan is quite upset about his personal life, after his brother Faisal Khan and father Tahir Husain spoke poorly of him in print. Aamir maintained that his brother was mentally unstable, lost his custody to his father. He and his family have issued an official statement to the press - "Aamir has supported both his father and brother in every way possible for the last 15 years. Unfortunately, his goodness has only earned him their envy and hatred. Faisal is unwell and is in need of urgent medical attention. Aamir's attempt to take custody of Faisal was so that he could help him and take care of him. Tahir Husain should now take complete responsibility for Faisal's care and actions."

lot of rage, a bit of Rang de

It opened as just another Bollywood movie at the box-office, on a nippy February morning. The Aamir Khan tag brought limelight in its wake, and the youth flavour that the promos peddled guaranteed initials.
Almost 10 months later, Rang De Basanti is more than a superhit Hindi film gunning for Oscar glory. In an era when films had stopped making a difference, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s feature ended up as a generation’s wake-up call — quite simply living up to the poster punchline.
Bollywood is about big budget, bigger moneymaking drills. But when a script like Rang De… connects with its core audience (in this case, the youth), inciting them take to the streets for a cause that isn’t solely about selfish gains, you know it’s special.

“Munnabhai Is a Great Film,” says Aamir Khan

“Munnabhai is a great film,” said Aamir Khan in a Mumbai Newspaper today. With his film ‘Rang De Basanti’ finding favours with the Indian jury as an official entry to the Oscars this year the ‘perfectionist’ Khan has gone in a Media overdrive. As he himself has said that he talks to the Press whenever he has something to talk about, Aamir has come out in open to support a film he truly believes in. But given a choice he admits if he would have been in the jury, it would have been difficult for him to make a selection between ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ as both are “very good films”.
Aamir has pledged all his support to the team of UTV CEO (Producer of RDB), Ronnie Screwvala and director Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra. His experience in the campaign for ‘Lagaan’ (‘Lagaan’ along with ‘Mother India’ and ‘Salaam Bombay’ are the only three films which have been selected in the final five of the Best Film in The Foreign Language) as a Producer will come in handy for the chances of ‘RDB’ at the Oscars. Aamir is repeatedly saying that the best way of making it to the Final Five is by showing the film to as many members of the jury as possible.
IndiaGlitz wishes the ‘RDB’ team all the best. Make us Proud….
