Bollywood's Generation X remembers Michael Jackson

Majority of them have been known for their dance moves. And most of them have been inspired by the 'King of Pop'. Generation X remembers Michael Jackson as he takes a journey to the heavenly abode.

Hurman Baweja - "I can't believe he is no more. It's too much of a shock. I was looking forward to seeing him on stage in London in August. For me he will always be alive. I have seen him live on stage before, I hear him practically everyday either in my car or on my iPod. He is my dancing Guru whom I have watched and learnt from. He is a genius. Here is to a Legend. May his soul rest in peace! He will be missed!"

Celina Jaitly - "It's shocking. I was planning to go for his last concert to London. I have been a die hard fan and I still can't believe that he is gone."

Neha Dhupia - "I am sad beyond belief. It's the biggest loss ever for the world of music and entertainment. There will never be anyone else like him."

Eesha Koppikhar - "You created history with your music. I will always remember you as the 'King of Pop'. As rightly stated by all the news channels, 25th June will always be remembered as a black day in the world of music."

Mugdha Godse - "Words fail to express my feelings. I still can't believe the news."

You have built a bridge among family, friends and cultures though your music and dance. You are a legend among the greats. God bless you always and forever. We will always love and miss you."

Payal Rohatgi - "I consider Michael's sad demise as a great loss to the music lovers like me. He was truly the 'king of pop' and dying at an age of 50 is very shocking. I hope his soul rests in peace. We shall always remember his blockbuster hit 'Thriller'!"

He surely will be missed."

Udita Goswami - "May his soul rest in peace. He wasn't the icon he used to be anymore after all the mess he got into. He was still trying to get out of it though. Maybe this was the time. His music will always be missed. And yes, there won't be another Michael Jackson ever!"

Adhyayan Suman - "The 'King of Pop' is no more but nobody will ever be able to replace Michael Jackson. He was the best. May his soul rest in peace!"

Paying Guest - Movie Review

Paying Guests isn’t exactly what the doctor ordered at this time immediately after the producer-multiplex conflict got over, but it serves as a good prelude to the big budget movies following it in the coming weeks, as it will only increase the hunger of the audience to watch a good movie.

Mind you, it’s not bad but it’s not good either. It has its funny moments where you jump from your seat laughing but it lacks the style and in some parts the treatment is pathetic. It tries to live up to the style and sleekness of Dostana but fails miserably.

The story revolves around four guys (Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffery, Aashish Choudhary, Vatsal Seth), three of whom have been fired from their jobs and have also been asked to vacate the house where they stay as pg’s by the owner Asrani. In their effort to find a place to stay in, they stumble upon a house which is owned by Johnny Lever and Dilnaz Paul, but the catch is that the people staying in the house have to be married. So taking a cue from Ritesh Deshmukh’s performance is Money Hai Toh Honey Hai which is playing besides on the flat screen TV, they get the idea to dress Javed and Shreyas as women and their wives, to get to stay in the flat.

Then follows the story that any slapstick movie would have. Different characters locking horns with each other in every scene and a khichdi of funny experiences is formed.

The chemistry between the guys is something to watch out for. It seems like the scenes between them have been shot without any retakes. There is a scene when all of them are drunk and cursing Asrani and he is standing right behind them, which is one of the funniest scenes in the movie. Shreyas and Javed are natural actors and occupy more screen time than the other two.

The girls don’t have any scope to act as the script is entirely focused on the guys and are merely there for skin show. This again goes to show how male centered most of our movies are. Riya Sen, Celina Jaitly, Sayali Bhagat and Neha Dhupia would have been better off as mannequins than actors in this movie. Riya and Sayali’s dialogue delivery is shoddy and most of the time the girl’s performances are clearly overshadowed by the guys. Ritesh and Javeed playing women seem better off than any of the girls.

The other characters in the movie give a decent performance too. Chunky Pandey plays a stuttering goon, Johnny Lever as his sardar brother and Dilnaz as Jhonny's gujarati wife. Dilnaz’s dialogues have been nicely written and superbly delivered.

The last scene tries to ape the ‘Mahabaharat’ scene in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, but that kind of genius cannot be repeated, even though this one is fairly funny.

Surprisingly with so many characters in the movie, at no point do you ever feel confused about what’s going on.
