Mumbai, Jan 22 (IANS) Bollywood megastar and Gujarat brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan, who previously promoted areas like Kutch and Dwarka, is now set to attract tourists to other picturesque spots in the state.

“In serene quietness of Gujarat is Bhuj. The welcome and hospitality of the people, as always, extraordinary,” the 69-year-old posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com Sunday.

“Bhuj airfield under repair, so the jet cannot land there, hence landing in Mundra, the private airfield of the business group Adani, who has built the third largest, soon to become the largest port in India,” he wrote on his way for the shoot of the latest ad.

Bachchan, who so far promoted the Kutch region, Dwarka, Somnath and Gir National Park, has been all praise for the development in Gujarat and said the state is worth visiting again and again.

“The day starts early tomorrow and starts at the Rann of Kutch, the white desert where a tent city has been put up for tourists to enjoy the moment,” he posted.

“And subsequently I should be visiting and shooting at all the areas that had got left behind the last time round… A region so close to home yet so diverse in so many ways.

“The clothing the language the food the environment, everything. But all Indian,” he added.

He once said that if the Gujarat government planned a documentary to showcase the state, he would like to be a part of it.

Film: ‘Good Night, Good Morning’; Cast: Seema Rahmani, Manu Narayan, Raja Sen; Director: Sudhish Kamath; Rating: ***

Every time a film critic dares to make a film and puts money where his words have always been, it’s laudatory. For it is the equivalent of your cricket-expert, corporate buddy — ever-ready with pointers for Sachin — actually facing a Brett Lee-bouncer.

Because critic or not, like cricket, we all have views about cinema. But very few ever dare to test them. The few who have, like a Francois Truffaut or a Jean-Luc Godard or even Peter Bogdanovich, have changed cinema.

And though ‘Good Night, Good Morning’ is no ’400 Blows’ or ‘Breathless’ or even ‘The Last Picture Show’, it manages to hold your urban attention to ponder over relationships, even if for a brief moment.

Two complete strangers, who had bumped into each other at a bar, engage in a night-long banter. From nothing, the conversation veers towards relationships and in one night, the two go through the whole life cycle of a relationship from the first hesitant date to romance, break-up, patch-up, so on and so forth.

There are two sides to the film — the good and the bad. Let’s begin with the good. If you suspend your disbelief as is required of you in the darkness of a theatre, it is believable. The two lead actors do manage to portray a good range of emotions required of them. The writing and direction is decent and doesn’t indulge in unsavoury gimmicks.

Sadly, it tries to do a Woody Allen and Richard Linklater but fails miserably. It has neither the tragi-comic timing of Allen’s cinema nor the depth of Linklater’s ‘Before Sunrise’, from which it takes inspiration.

And though the conversation is witty, managing a few chuckles, it is too literal to offer anything. This would have been fine if it hadn’t taken itself too seriously. Sadly, it does!

Next, you wonder as to why on Billy Wilder’s and K. Balachander‘s name (to whom the filmmaker pays respect) is it set in New York when it could easily have been set in say Mumbai, with the boy driving down to Pune.

The only reason that comes to mind, looking at the zillion odd references to everything American – is that the writer knows more about American culture than he does of his own. Or perhaps it is shame.

It thus becomes another desi-dream on the big screen, a low-budget equivalent of a Bollywood film set in Hollywoodland to seem ‘global’. Thus in its cinematic politics of becoming a ‘feel-good’ indie, it is no different from a ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, which it spoofs brilliantly.

It misses out on the biggest strengths of indie cinema – the local flavour. Not just for indies, but any cinema with serious aspirations, local is always global. The film thus seems like the work of an ABCD – American Born Confused Desi, only in this case the ‘American’ is replaced by ‘Indian’.

The film becomes an example of a ‘globalised’ world. Today, most Indians born in its urban towns, raised on a staple diet of American entertainment, are more American than many Americans themselves.

Having said that, one cannot take away the command Sudhish has over both writing and direction. Sadly, presence of form or style can never make up for the lack of content. One only hopes that this brave critic, in his next film, takes up something more real.

Mumbai, Jan 17 (IANS) International talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, who is in India to shoot for her new show, is all praise for Bollywood celebrities after meeting them at a party hosted in her honour by socialite Parmeshwar Godrej.

“Was so great meeting you and all the beautiful Bollywooders. Directors, poets, screenwriters, what a nite!” the 57-year-old wrote on her Twitter page.

On her maidan visit to India, Winfrey got a warm welcome from Indian socialites and Bollywood celebrities like megastar Amitabh Bachchan, superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and Aishwarya Rai at the party.

Mumbai, Jan 15 (IANS) Bollywood actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Shabana Azmi cheered to support the physically challenged participants and senior citizens as the Wheelchair Event and the Senior Citizens‘ Run was flagged off here Sunday during the ninth edition of Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2012.

As many as 1,800 people participated in the Senior Citizens’ Run and 200 in the Wheelchair Event which started from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) in south Mumbai and will culminate after covering a distance of 4.3 km near Metro Cinema.

Twenty five differently-abled students of the School for the Education of the Crippled (SEC) caught attention of many as they participated in the Wheelchair Event despite various physical disabilities including cerebral palsy and congenital defects.

Aged between 12 and 15 years, the students were accompanied by alumni and staff members to raise awareness about the treatment of the physically challenged in the city.
