Perhaps it has to do with the new-found confidence post the
KBC success. AmitabhBachchan’s collecting kudos for his performance even in a washout film likeEk Rishtaa. Waiting next at the box office is Rakesh Mehra’s Aks,which we believe is inspired by John Woo’s Face Off...That ain’t theonly "inspired" film AB’s signed on. Kaante, pitched as the firsttruly guy’s film in India (only heroes have been signed yet), is a supposed remake ofTarantino’s Reservoir Dogs... Hollywood may not be bothered about theseborrowings, Pakistan is. PTV World shows a very well-researched programme that’s allabout Indian film tunes "lifted" from original Pakistani hits... Guesswho’s being urged to wear a literary cap? Naghma, who’s beingurged to reveal all, in her autobiography...’Tis the season of b’day bashes. BobDylan’s was one, in Delhi anybody who was somebody turned up at the party thrown forjournalist and TV personality, Saeed Naqvi...One more reason tocelebrate—the launch of Outlooktraveller, on June 1.
