Mumbai, Aug 31 : As he shoots in Canada, director Arjun Sablok emphasises that "Neal n Nikki" has nothing in common with other Yashraj Films movies like "Hum Tum" and "Bunty Aur Babli".In Whistler, Canada, he has just completed shooting 30 percent of his romantic comedy "Neal n Nikki", which stars Uday Chopra and Tanisha. Whistler, for the uninitiated, is the scenic town where the Olympics will be held in 2010.

The sizzling Nisha Kothari is very excited with her first ever signed movie James , which has hit the theatres today.

Debutant director Rohit Jugrajs movie James has nothing fresh except its hero Mohit Ahlawat and heroine Nisha Kothari. Mohit chips in action and brooding intensity. Nisha makes sure the audiences are titillated to good degrees.

Film: "Sau Jhooth Ek Sach"; Starring: Mammootty, Vikram Gokhale, Lilette Dubey. Joy Sengupta, Neha Dubey, Kiran Janjani, Meghna Kothari, Tisca Arora; Director: Bappaditya Roy; Rating: Conscience is a precious commodity, especially in todays day and age when human aspirations have smothered finer values and reduced morality to a mockery. Debutant director Bappaditya Roys morality tale is an arresting ensemble piece.

Film: "James"; Starring: Mohit Ahlawat, Nisha Kothari, Zakir Husain, Mohan Agashe, Rajpal Yadav; Directed by Rohit Jugraj. Rating: Some films launch a star. In other cases a star launches a film. Ram Gopal Varmas latest discovery Mohit Ahlawat, arguably his most worth watching male discovery to date, lifts the routine masala action flick to the level of a spiced-up sizzler. Ahlawat with his well-toned physique and an underplayed but persuasive personality could comfortably be designated the Blast Action Hero. His smouldering silences, those slanted silently accusing eyes, and raised eyebrows one of them pierced and adorned with a ring have the power to rip the screen apart.

Mumbai, Sep 19 : Every stunt that you see Ram Gopal Varmas blue-eyed boy Mohit Ahlawat perform in his debut film "James" has been done by the Rohtak-born wannabe."Its all live action. Weve used no duplicates, not even wires to show me jumping in mid-air," Mohit admits quietly to IANS."In one sequence I had to hold on to the side of a speeding bus with my heroine Nisha Kothari. That was a bit scary. But when youre in the middle of a shot theres no time for second thoughts."

Manisha Koirala is on a signing spree these days. After bagging two films with Ram Gopal Varma including Darwaza Bandh Rakho, the actress has now signed Tulsi with Irrfan Khan, and Rituparno Ghoshs Bengali film Khela. Tulsi is being directed by south director Ajay Kumar and produced by Srinivas Rao.

We may not have seen much of her on the big screen of late. But Manisha Koirala is back in the thick of work, acting in some important movies.

Director Madhur Bhandarkar recorded the first song for his next film Corporate with Asha Bhonsle on Sunday.The film stars Bipasha Basu, Kay Kay and Minisha Lamba and takes a dig at the corporate world.After Bhandarkars hard hitting look at the party circuit in Page 3, there are great expectations from this one as well.With Asha Bhonsle and music director Shameer Tandon pairing up again for the films music, the sound track could strike the right notes again."The song in Page 3 is such a hit. I am forced to sing that song wherever I perform," said Asha.Corporate goes on the floors in mid October and Bhandarkar plans to release this film early next year.

Mumbai, Nov 17 : Manisha Koirala, who is now busy working for Bengali filmmaker Rituparno Ghoshs "Khela", is thankful that good directors did not forget her despite a nearly two-year-long sabbatical.Manisha, who took time off after doing some 60 odd films in various Indian languages, including Bollywood flicks, is one of the few mainstream film stars to have ventured into non-Hindi movies.

Film: "Taj Mahal"; Starring: Zulfikar Syed, Sonia Jehan, Manisha Koirala, Kabir Bedi, Pooja Batra, Arbaaz Khan, Kim Sharma, Milind Gunaji; Directed by Akbar Khan; Rating: Its easy to write off a film that comes with the burden of a rather cumbersome history of its own - a non-happening star cast, a director who doesnt have anything to show for himself, a music composer who retired decades ago...

While Neal N Nikki with its cool posters and images of Uday and Tanisha peeping tantalizingly from under sheets, the Yashraj banner is all set to further multiply on its "bold" image acquired from their last release Salaam Namaste.

Mumbai, Dec 9 : Mahesh Bhatt and Yashraj Films are set to clash at the box office with two sizzlers this week, but it is an Amitabh Bachchan-starrer that might turn out to be the dark horse."Neal N Nikki" has splashed cool posters and images of Yash Chopras son Uday Chopra and Tanujas younger daughter Tanisha Mukerji peeping tantalisingly from under sheets.

Film: "Neal n Nikki"; Starring: Uday Chopra, Tanisha Mukherjee; Directed by Arjun Sablok; Rating: "Neal n Nikki" is like a grunge version of "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" or the popular American TV series "Friends" meets Farhan Akhtars "Dil Chahta Hai" in no mans bland. And it tries to define itself as cool by throwing all caution and clothes to the winds.
