REVEALED: This is the man who appears in Jawan's song 'Zinda Banda' alongside Shah Rukh Khan
Jawan, the much-anticipated film, has finally arrived, and it has proven to be an epic entertainment. Because the teaser did not reveal the entire tale, moviegoers were treated to multiple surprises. What also surprised them was that the song 'Zinda Banda' in the film was slightly different from the version released before to its release.
'Zinda Banda' also features a special appearance by a very significant individual. That would be Atlee, the blockbuster writer and director of Jawan. According to a source, "a lot of moviegoers were left wondering who this person who makes a massy appearance in the song and not just shakes a leg with Shah Rukh Khan but even wears similar clothes as the superstar."
"Shah Rukh Khan and the team at Red Chillies Entertainment knew that Atlee is not well-known in the Hindi-speaking markets, and his presence might confuse viewers who do not recognize him," an industry insider said. SRK could have cast any Bollywood or South celebrity in that role. Nonetheless, he chose to show Atlee the respect he deserves."
This is not Atlee's first appearance on television. In his most recent film, Bigil (2019), he sang the song 'Singappenney' alongside the lead actor, Thalapathy Vijay, and music composer A R Rahman. Interestingly, Atlee employs a similar template for his special appearance in 'Zinda Banda' as well.
Meanwhile, speculations of Thalapathy Vijay, Allu Arjun, and even Kiara Advani appearing in Jawan have been debunked. Only Sanjay Dutt and Deepika Padukone make cameo appearances. Mukesh Chhabra, a prominent casting director, also has a minor but interesting role. He is the health minister's personal assistant. Surprisingly, he only appears in the Hindi version. Yogi Babu, a well-known and lovable actor, plays the same character in the Tamil version.

Jawan (2023) Spoiler Review
I urge anyone and everyone to watch it because it is so much fun from beginning to end. Also, SRK is just ugggghhh so damn hot.
Spoilers from here on out.
Alright, let me get this out of the way first: the movie was very massy and I loved it. That said, I wasn't completely blown away by the story and delivery because I'm up to my eyeballs in south Indian mass movies.
Now, there are people who look down on very massy action films. They think it's inferior or not nuanced enough. Some like only certain mass films and think that the ones they like are the superior kind of mass movies. If you're that kind of person, we're gonna have problems.
One, Jawan isn't a mindblowing film BUT it is undeniably a fun film with lots of exciting action, a good and tight storyline, and good songs.
SRK is SRK. There's a reason fans call him King Khan. His charisma is off the charts. He is great as Azad and absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable as Vikram Rathore. I am serious about the unforgettable part. I fear that his next characters, especially if they're older guys, will be compared to the legend Vikram Rathore. I almost wish Atlee would make a sequel because I want to see Vikram again, in his silver fox era, going on missions with his team (and his son somewhere there).
I wasn't really surprised with the DILF in this movie because I do think Atlee has some daddy issues. If you've seen his older movies like Mersal and Bigil, you might have noticed that the dad characters are given banger bgms and better entry scenes (Vetrimaaran and Rayappan, respectively). Vijay's title card in Mersal was Vetrimaaran's theme, while the title card in Bigil has Rayappan's theme/BGM. But Atlee killed them off in those two movies, so he subverted his own tropes in Jawan (THANK GOD BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN VIKRAM RATHORE OTHERWISE - sorry, I will not shut up about Vikram okay).
The Girls. Who doesn't love the women of Jawan? Seriously. They absolutely made me giddy with excitement. One, because they were awesome, and we so their backstories and how loyal they were to Azad, and how Azad loved them and was loyal to them, too. Also, that time they called him because he was in the biggest fight of his life (WEDDING NIGHT)! That was honestly the cutest shit ever. If you saw Bigil, Atlee was gunning for that, too, but Bigil is more tamed seeing as it is a sports movie.
Nayanthara and Deepika as they love interests are really good. I was so sad when I learned Aishwarya's fate (shoutout to Atlee who *also* named the mom here Aishwarya -- they're both strong, amazing women). Nayanthara is so damn good and so damn cool (but I am biased towards Jayam Ravi/Nayanthara pairing lmao).
That Sanjay Dutt cameo! Oh, man, I laughed and clapped! I had such a ball of a time. And the revelation that they were friends and he had been helping him all along! Aaaaaah, so satisfying to see honestly. Atlee, why don't you make this a series? I wanna see more of all of them.
Now, on to some things that didn't feel so satisfying to me:
I have seen Vijay Sethupathi play the villain role several times. His performance as Bhavani in Master and Vedha in Vikram Vedha (2017) are tough to beat. It's also really difficult not to compare his performance in Jawan to his performance in those two films because I had such high expectations (yes, I know, my fault a little bit). I feel like his charisma that he usually brings to the table was only seen in small parts, bits and pieces. So, that felt a little bit underwhelming.
Okay, so I like the songs! Anirudh has shown how versatile he is in producing different song genres (but currently movies and fans expect hero-elevation music from him, and that is completely understandable). But I couldn't pinpoint Vikram or Azad's main theme or main bgm. I'm recalling all the Bollywood movies I've watched over the years, and perhaps this isn't a thing in Bollywood films? (Again, if you think having specific bgm for the hero's entry or badass moment is corny, this review isn't for you, sorry, I'm into that shit, I grew up on anime). I know there's a bgm for Azad's entry at the jail and there's literally a song called Vikram Rathore but they just didn't stand out much. You can, of course, argue that SRK doesn't need bgms to elevate him to god-like status. That's true. This is just a me thing, as someone who looks forward to such bgms in mass movies from the south.
OK, I didn't think my review would be this long. I just had many thoughts while watching Jawan. Anyway, like I said, this one is a total banger of a movie. SRK is an absolute joy to watch! What an amazing performer and actor!

Hi! 👋 You have nice taste in movies. I saw a handful of Bollywood films on your blog, could you recommend some of your favorites?
Oh my, hi, thank you??
Of course! Disclaimer : I just started getting into Indian cinema this year and I still have a lot to learn and discover.
My first Bollywood movie was Devdas (2002, dir Sanjay Leela Bhansali) with Shah Rukh Khan (remember that name if you're interested in Indian cinema, he's like THE biggest star of the country). It's a period romantic drama film and I basically cried non stop for two hours. The colours! The songs! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
Then, like a lot of people last year, RRR (2022, dir S. S. Rajamouli). That's technically Tollywood (still Indian cinema, just different region and language). Epic period action drama film. It's.... so good? Like no joke my life changed after watching that movie. It's got action, it's got love, it's got incredible music (my top Spotify last year was just the songs of this movie), it's got everything.
Tbh you can watch all of Rajamouli's movies, I think you're safe with them. Baahubali Part 1 and 2 are amazing, Magadheera maybe aged a little bit (very 2000s, painfully 2000s) but is still great. I haven't watched Eega yet but really can't wait, the plot is too weird, I have to.
For something more modern, I absolutly loved Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023, dir Karan Johar). Back to Bollywood, it's a romantic comedy family drama. From what I understood, the plot is very basic for an Indian movie, forbidden love, evil grandma, respect of traditions etc etc but as I said, I'm new to all of this, and it was amazing. So, so funny. If you like himbos you'll love the main guy, he's perfect. He says stuff like "Gucci and Prada made love and gave birth to me" or "she's a super woman Wonder Woman Wakanda forever", I love him.
I hope you'll like these! Thank you again for asking I could talk about these movies for days <3

Jacqueline Fernandez drops sexy stills from her new music video 'Yimmy Yimmy' - see pics
Jacqueline Fernandez treated her fans and followers on Instagram with some stunning stills from her music video titled 'Yimmy Yimmy'. The actress shared three looks from the video. The first one is of her wearing rugged shorts with a pink crop top. The second is an elegant one with an ivory satin halter neck mini dress seated on a pool table. The third is a red co-ord set in a garage backdrop. Check out the pictures below.
The track features the vocals of Shreya Ghoshal and French R&B singer Tayc. The track is a brain-child of Play DMF's Anshul Garg. Jacqueline said, "Songs have played a huge part in my career, and teaming up with Anshul for ‘Yimmy Yimmy’ is another tick mark on my list. He has such a keen sense of music and it was such an entertaining ride shooting for the song. The vibe of Yimmy Yimmy is so refreshing and energetic and I am sure that the audience will love the song too."
On the acting front, Jacqueline Fernandez is gearing up for 'Welcome to the Jungle'. 'Welcome 3' is being directed by Ahmed Khan. The star cast of the film also includes Akshay Kumar, Disha Patani, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Sanjay Dutt, Rajpal Yadav, Shreyas Talpade, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi, Inaamulhaq, Zakir Hussain, and Yashpal Sharma. Jacqueline has also wrapped up the shoot for 'Fateh' alongside Sonu Sood. The action thriller is based on real-life instances of cybercrime experienced by people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Helmed by Vaibhav Mishra it also stars Shivjyoti Rajput and Vijay Raaz in prominent roles. Some of the prominent names in Hollywood including the director of photography, research team, and action choreographers have been roped in for this film.
Sonu recently heaped praises on her co-star Jacqueline. He said in a statement, "Fateh is going to be Jacqueline's best. I always keep on saying that she has done a wonderful job in the film, and her performance in Fateh will be her best performance.

Bollywood has a long-standing tradition of adapting novels into films, bringing stories from the pages to the silver screen. While books offer depth, introspection, and a more personal experience, there have been instances where Bollywood movies outshined their literary counterparts. One such remarkable example is *3 Idiots*. This blog delves into such movies, exploring how Bollywood occasionally enhances or reimagines a story in ways that captivate audiences more effectively than the original books.
When Bollywood Outshines the Book
1. 3 Idiots (2009) - Adapted from Five Point Someone
The Book: Chetan Bhagat's *Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT* delves into the lives of three friends struggling to cope with the pressures of the Indian education system. The book, while insightful, focuses on the day-to-day challenges faced by the characters.
Rajkumar Hirani’s *3 Idiots* takes the core narrative of the book but elevates it with humor, drama, and a powerful message about following one's passion. The film expands the characters, particularly turning Rancho (Aamir Khan) into a philosophical and inspiring figure. The movie's emotional depth and its critique of the rote-learning education system struck a chord with millions, making it a cultural phenomenon.
Reasons To Watch
· A more engaging and inspiring narrative.
· Universally relatable themes and emotional connect.
· Iconic dialogues and memorable performances.
When Bollywood Outshines the Book
2. Devdas (2002) - Adapted from Devdas
Saratchandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Bengali novel *Devdas* tells a tragic tale of love and loss. The story, while iconic, has a restrained narrative style.
The Movie
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s *Devdas* is a larger-than-life cinematic spectacle. Featuring opulent sets, stunning costumes, and powerful performances by Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the film redefined the story for modern audiences.
Reasons To Watch
· A visually grand interpretation of a classic tale.
· Bhansali’s artistic direction and emotional gravitas.
· Music and choreography that amplified the story’s emotional core.
When Bollywood Outshines the Book
3. Guide (1965) - Adapted from The Guide
R.K. Narayan’s *The Guide* is a nuanced tale about a tour guide’s journey from a conman to a spiritual leader. The novel is introspective and subtle in its storytelling.
The Movie
Vijay Anand’s cinematic adaptation starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman gave the story a more dramatic and romantic twist. The film added a layer of complexity by exploring themes of love, redemption, and spirituality, along with unforgettable songs like *"Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai."*
Reasons To Watch
A compelling transformation of the protagonist.
Memorable music and emotionally charged sequences.
The dual-language (Hindi and English) release broadened its appeal.
When Bollywood Outshines the Book
4. Omkara (2006) Adapted from Othello
William Shakespeare’s *Othello* is a timeless tragedy of love, jealousy, and betrayal. While it’s a masterpiece of English literature, its Elizabethan setting may feel distant to contemporary audiences.
The Movie
Vishal Bhardwaj’s *Omkara* reimagines the story in a rural Indian setting, infusing it with raw intensity. The stellar performances by Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor brought Shakespeare's characters to life in a way that resonated deeply with Indian viewers.
Reasons To Watch
Localization of Shakespeare’s themes for Indian audiences.
Powerful dialogues and a rustic aesthetic.
Saif Ali Khan’s portrayal of Langda Tyagi redefined the role of an antagonist. Read More

The Eternal Melodies of Guzaarish: A Ruh Radio Tribute
When we talk about music that lingers in the soul, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish (2010) stands tall as an emblem of emotional depth and musical brilliance. The film, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, delves into themes of love, resilience, and the dignity of choice. Its music, composed by Bhansali himself, with lyrics penned by Vibhu Puri and A. M. Turaz, is a rich tapestry of melody and poetry that has enchanted listeners for over a decade. On Ruh Radio, 1440 AM, we often find ourselves revisiting these timeless tracks, and today, we invite you to reflect on their legacy.
1. "Tera Zikr"
This hauntingly beautiful ballad, sung by Shail Hada, is the heart of Guzaarish. With its minimalist arrangement and tender lyrics, it embodies the essence of unspoken emotions. At Ruh Radio, we see this song as the perfect companion for quiet, introspective evenings.
2. "Udi"
Performed by Sunidhi Chauhan, "Udi" is an upbeat contrast to the film’s somber undertone. Its flamenco-inspired beats celebrate freedom and life, making it a regular feature in our "Spirited Sounds" segment. Listeners of 1440 AM have often called in to share how this song uplifts their mood.
3. "Sau Gram Zindagi"
With Kunal Ganjawala's evocative voice, this track is a poignant ode to the fleeting nature of life. At Ruh Radio, we use this piece to spark conversations about gratitude and living in the moment.
4. "Jaane Kiske Khwaab"
This melancholic melody, sung by KK, is an anthem of yearning and unfulfilled dreams. Its orchestral arrangement blends seamlessly with the emotional depth of its lyrics, often stirring reflective discussions on our station.
5. "Sharminda Hoon"
Rashid Khan’s soulful rendition of "Sharminda Hoon" echoes themes of regret and redemption. On Ruh Radio’s late-night shows, this track resonates with listeners who seek solace in music.
6. "Chand Ki Katori"
Rendered by Harshdeep Kaur, this lullaby-like composition feels like a warm embrace. Its soothing quality is why we include it in our "Ruh Ki Sargam" segment, dedicated to soulful melodies.
7. "Daayein Baayein"
K.K.'s expressive voice captures the bittersweet struggles of life in this playful yet profound track. Its placement in Guzaarish adds layers to Ethan's character, and it has become a listener favorite on our station.
The Ruh Radio Connection
At 1440 AM, we believe that music is more than just entertainment—it's a reflection of the human spirit. The songs of Guzaarish perfectly encapsulate this philosophy, offering a blend of profound emotions and timeless compositions. By revisiting these tracks, we celebrate not just a cinematic masterpiece but also the universal power of music to heal, inspire, and connect.
So, whether you're tuning in during your morning commute or relaxing at home, let the magic of Guzaarish fill the airwaves. Remember, Ruh Radio is here to bring you closer to the songs that speak to your soul.

With a voice that seamlessly blends emotion and power, his journey from a small town in Uttar Pradesh to the glitzy world of Bollywood stands as a testament to his determination and talent. His rise is an inspiring story of perseverance, family influence, and an unwavering passion for music. In this article, we explore how Altamash carved his niche in Bollywood, leaving a lasting impact on the music industry.
Early Life and Musical Roots
Born in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Altamash Faridi grew up in a family where music was more than just a passion — it was a way of life. His father, Ustad Mehtab Faridi, is a renowned classical singer who instilled in his children a love for music and its traditions. Altamash’s brothers, Shadab and Asif Faridi, are also musicians, making their home a hub of melodies and rhythms.
From an early age, Altamash was surrounded by the nuances of classical music. His upbringing was steeped in rigorous musical training, which not only honed his skills but also cultivated his deep understanding of various musical styles. Despite the challenges of growing up in a small town with limited exposure to mainstream platforms, Altamash’s dedication set him apart. He participated in local singing competitions, where his performances consistently garnered praise, giving him the confidence to pursue a professional career in music.
Breakthrough in Reality TV
The turning point in Altamash Faridi’s career came in 2009 when he won the prestigious “Close-Up Performer” reality show on Doordarshan. This platform showcased his immense talent to a national audience and marked the beginning of his professional journey. The victory came with a cash prize of one lakh rupees and a singing contract worth ten lakh rupees with Rajshri Productions — a monumental achievement for a young artist.
His success on “Close-Up Performer” paved the way for other opportunities in the competitive reality TV circuit. Altamash appeared on “Music Ka Maha Muqabla” on StarPlus and “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar” on Zee TV, where he gained widespread recognition. These platforms not only enhanced his skills but also introduced him to key figures in the music industry, setting the stage for his transition into Bollywood playback singing.
Notable Bollywood Contributions
Altamash Faridi’s Bollywood debut proved that his talent was not confined to reality TV. His playback singing career took off with songs that quickly became hits.

Another standout moment in his career came with “Aaj Ibaadat” from the critically acclaimed film Bajirao Mastani (2015). The song, composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is a spiritual masterpiece that allowed Altamash to display his classical training. His collaboration with Shadab Faridi and Shashi Suman on this track was lauded by critics and audiences alike.
Over the years, Altamash has delivered a string of memorable songs, including “Baras Baras” from Durgamati (2020), “Tur Kalleyan” from Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), and “Tere Vaaste” from Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023). Each of these tracks highlights his versatility as a singer, capable of handling romantic ballads, soulful melodies, and high-energy anthems with equal finesse.
Adapting to Modern Trends
One of Altamash Faridi’s defining traits is his ability to adapt to the ever-evolving music industry. While his roots lie in classical music, he has embraced contemporary trends with enthusiasm. His voice adds a unique texture to modern compositions, blending tradition with innovation. This adaptability has made him a favorite among music directors seeking a fresh yet familiar sound.

10 Years of Haider: How ‘Bismil’ sparked a tourism boom at Martand Sun Temple; haunting song from Shahid Kapoor-starrer also holds a Sanjeev Kumar connection
The acclaimed film Haider (2014) completed 10 years on October 2. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu and Kay Kay Menon, it is considered one of the finest films by director Vishal Bhardwaj. It is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello and is set in Kashmir where a young student goes on a path of self-destruction after his father is murdered. One of the most memorable parts of the film is when Shahid Kapoor performs the haunting song ‘Bismil’. The song was shot at Martand Sun Temple in Kashmir and thanks to this film, this historical place became widely popular among tourists. It’s a great example of how film tourism can impact tourism positively.
10 Years of Haider: How ‘Bismil’ sparked a tourism boom at Martand Sun Temple; haunting song from Shahid Kapoor-starrer also holds a Sanjeev Kumar connection
This piece of information was shared by Vishal Bhardwaj when he attended the Tourism Development Enclave in Srinagar earlier this year. Along with Vishal, prominent film personalities like Imtiaz Ali, Kabir Khan and Sanjay Suri also graced this event. Here, Vishal Bhardwaj revealed that ‘Bismil’ led to a spike in the footfalls at Martand Sun Temple. The filmmaker further said that the increase in tourist activity prompted the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) to remove encroachments from the site.
The Martand Sun Temple is located around 10 km away from the town of Anantnag in Kashmir and was constructed in the eighth century BC.
‘Bismil’ was penned hauntingly by Gulzar and interestingly, this is the second song of the acclaimed lyricist to be shot in Martand Sun Temple. His much loved song ‘Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa Toh Nahi’ from his directorial venture Aandhi (1975), featuring Suchitra Sen and Sanjeev Kumar, was incidentally also shot in the same place.
Coming back to 'Bismil', the song has also been loved for the thought behind it. Vishal Bhardwaj, in a recent interview with The Times of India, revealed his inspiration behind the visuals of the track, “We created this song like a mousetrap where Shahid performs a play within a play. I wanted to create our own ‘Ek Hasina Thi Ek Deewana Tha’ moment in my way for Hamlet (laughs). Karz (1980) had a similar situation where Rishi Kapoor performed in front of Simi Garewal about the murder.”
‘Bismil’ helped choreographer Sudesh Adhana win the National Award. On this, Vishal said, “I used long, oversized puppets by Dadi Pudumjee, a great puppeteer, and he introduced me to Sudesh. I worked with them for two months in Paris, and right after that, I started shooting Haider. I brought all the sensibilities I learned during the opera, working with Dadi Pudumjee and Sudesh. It was so unconventional, so un-Bollywood-like. I'm saying this and I belong to Bollywood. And Sudesh won a National Award for that choreography.”
The song has been sung by Sukhwinder Singh. In The Times of India interview, Vishal Bhardwaj revealed, “Sukhwinder ko bahut khula gaane ki aadat hai - he's used to improvise a lot - but I told him, 'Is gaane mein track pe gaana padega, this is like an opera. We are telling a story in it'. Itna khoobsurat Gulzar sahab ne likha hai. I had only given him the phrase ‘Bismil Bismil Bulbule Bismil’, and from that, he wrote an entire epic. He’s a master.”

Imran Khan Recalls Harrowing Experience Filming 'Kidnap' Scene with Minissha Lamba
Former actor Imran Khan recently opened up about a distressing on-set experience while shooting a scene for the 2008 thriller Kidnap. The scene, which involved an act of sexual violence, left his co-star Minissha Lamba with bruises and Khan deeply troubled.
The Difficult Scene
In a candid conversation on the We Are Yuvaa YouTube channel, Imran discussed his journey in the film industry, his mental health struggles, and moments he regrets. When asked if there was a film he wished he hadn’t done, he named Kidnap, directed by Sanjay Gupta and co-starring Sanjay Dutt.
Imran shared, “There’s this part in Kidnap that I found very uncomfortable. There’s a so-called romantic song, ‘Mausam’, followed by a scene of sexual violence. My character drags Minissha’s character back to a den, and it seems he’s going to assault her. He starts, then stops. I didn’t think that scene was necessary and found it very difficult to shoot.”
Emotional and Physical Impact
After filming, Imran was so disturbed he couldn’t sleep and ended up vomiting. The next morning, he saw Minissha’s arms were bruised from where he’d grabbed her during the scene. “I was horrified,” he recalled. “I spoke to her about it because I was very uncomfortable with how it had played out. Thankfully, Minissha was very understanding and set my mind at ease, but I’ve never quite felt okay about it.”
Reflections on the Industry
In a previous interview, Imran mentioned how his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na changed perceptions of him on the set of Kidnap. Initially treated with indifference, he was later given preferential treatment as his potential stardom became apparent.
Imran also revealed his growing aversion to violence, noting that he believes the cancellation of his planned comeback project, a spy-thriller series, was for the best because it would have required him to handle guns—a prospect he finds unsettling now.
Conclusion
Imran Khan's candid reflections provide a glimpse into the often unseen emotional toll of acting, especially in scenes of intense violence. His experience underscores the importance of addressing and processing such impacts, both for the actors involved and the broader industry.

Bollywood loves making the same story into movies over and over again. As examples that come to mind mostly because of my recent watchings: just saw it with 2003's 88 Antop Hill, based on James Hadley Chase's 'Tiger by the Tail,' which apparently also gave rise to the movie Kashmakash 30 years prior. Even more recently, the movie Chase a Crooked Shadow was turned into Dhuan and Khoj within a 9 year period. Or (if we're talking chronologically and not just "movies I've recently seen"), the movie Unfaithful was adapted into both Murder and Hawas - which both released within a month of each other in 2004. And now, we see Soch, a 2002 movie inspired by 'Strangers on a Train,' a movie which also inspired the subsequent (and honestly, much less annoying and much better) 2007 movie Strangers.
Soch tries to take the basic premise and change it quite a bit, beyond the basic premise of 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine.' We're introduced to this plot well beyond that initial meeting - which we only see later, after the initial murder, via flashback. And then it fits into the same vein, with a psychotic man stalking our protagonist to get him to follow through on what the man thought was an agreed upon plan (it, of course, wasn't).
This movie merges this story with the public persona of an actor and the Bollywood life. His name is Raj, sure, but late in the movie, we see a bunch of movie posters of his - and they're all from Sanjay Kapoor's actual movies (Prem, Raja, Kartavya - his first 3 movies, all released in 1995). We get brief forays into how fucked up the paparazzi and media is, bordering on stalker levels and downright invasive of privacy, and a poorly developed 'love triangle' between star, ex-star who gave up that life for him/love, and the director who loves him and whom he spends most of the movie with. By the time we meet this trio, the current (soon to be dead) wife is already reached near-psychotic break, cutting herself (and threatening it additional times), humiliating him in front of crowds because of what she assumes is his love for the other girl, and even threatening to shoot him.
Aditi Govitrikar's character has clearly gone crazy, no doubt - but also, for him to win a national award and be like "the person I owe this to the most is" and then name his director, who apparently has been in the paparazzi's view as his love interest for a while, and not his literal actual wife - you sorta understand why she's losing her mind. Especially because she was apparently an actress who gave it all up for him. Not justifying cutting herself or threatening to shoot him, but, like, what the fuck is he doing and does he really think this repeated "she's just a friend" is going to work when he's acting like she is more than that?
The Tiku Talsania comedy track, like essentially all 90s/00s movie comedy tracks, falls completely flat and, like the songs, just works to delay the progression of this story (though, of course, it loops in because he's the one who knows where the bad guy is hiding).
Arbaaz Khan is full-on creepy and evil, much like his role in Daraar. But he's definitely full on lost it. Danny's character's literal last decision in the movie is full on "WTF?" Raveena Tandon does make an impact, but also spend the last bit of the movie just being damsel in distress after spending the first bit of the movie just being 'married guy's possible love interest.' The annoying cop before Danny's character shows up is annoying.
Maybe it was the star cast (Jimmy Shergill, Kay Kay Menon), maybe it was the story better following Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (from what I can tell/remember), maybe it was the better songs (Farishta Nahin Main comes to mind), but I definitely much preferred Strangers to Soch. This movie tries to focus too much on pretending that Sanjay Kapoor is a star (nepotism, I guess), tries too hard to show Aditi as someone that Sanjay would wanna be free from but mostly just manages to make him look like an ass and her look like she needs some help (and distance from him), and spends too much time trying to convince us that he doesn't love Raveena until he suddenly changes his mind and is like "I'm answerable to no one."
Madhu and Preeti both deserved better. And honestly, probably, so did we (luckily, Strangers released a few years later and gave us that - Preeti and especially Madhu weren't so lucky though).
