It’s a single filmi formula that has traditionally been failsafe. Herd a bunch of frisky and fancy-free youngsters together, throw them into an emotional whirligig that pushes them to raise the banner of revolt against insensitive adults and permit the ensuing tussle do the rest. It makes for good, unadulterated fun.

Right up your street? Then Chillar Party is often a must-watch for you. It squeezes inside a quiet message even as it portrays the world purely during the gawky-eyed issue of view of children. The film strikes a perfect balance among the a couple of poles of the script. Well, almost.

Written and directed by the duo of Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari and bankrolled by UTV Spotboy, Chillar Party got superstar Salman Khan so excited that he came on board as co-producer well following the film had got off the starting blocks. Excellent judgment – Chillar Party is indeed a film worth backing every which way.

It moves during the light-hearted on the thought-provoking and during the rib-tickling on the tear-jerking without losing its equilibrium.

As Chillar Party opens, we are introduced a single by a single on the feisty gang of innocents around whom the plot revolves. It is possibly as adorable a gallery of characters as any you'll ever encounter inside a Bollywood movie.

The child actors are outright naturals. Don’t be surprised if quite a few of these names crop up on film credits for years to come.

The Chillar Party boys live in Chandan Nagar colony, a residential complex which is shaken up somewhat as soon as Fatka, a spunky boy who washes cars to your living, arrives in their midst with a canine companion, Bhidu.

Fatka and his dog are outsiders in a lot more methods than a single – they belong on the wrong side of the social divide – but following the very first run-ins of the boys of Chandan Nagar, he and his pooch are accepted as an integral component of the chillar party.

But, particularly for the dog, life isn’t incredibly as effortless as it may appear to these small pranksters: a mean-minded politician decides how the locality is in require of becoming swept clean of stray mutts and Bhidu is immediately targeted. The boys swing into action and launch a ‘save Bhidu’ battle during the face of grave odds.

This is often a confrontation during the traditional good-pitted-against-evil mould, and it plays out to good effect on numerous levels: youngsters versus adults, self-seekers versus do-gooders and, over all, the uplifting power of innocence and actual emotion up against the vitiating force of corrosive cynicism.

If Chillar Party works for the most component as an entertainer, it is primarily as it manages to hold a tight leash on its narrative flow and the antics of the children. Simplicity has its uses and should you know exactly how to milk it for the advantage, you’ve got a winner on your hands.

Is Chillar Party, then, a perfect children’s film? Saying that would be a bit of the stretch. The characters are less nuanced folks than recognisable types, etched out and christened on the basis of their defining traits.

So what we have is often a boy referred to as Second Hand who struts around in borrowed clothes and another (he answers on the name of Shaolin) that dreams of being a martial arts movie star a la Jackie Chan. A know-all – he is referred to as Encyclopaedia – has his distinct opposite during the gang’s incorrigible simpleton, Mottu alias Silencer. During the world in accordance with Chillar Party, boys will be boys!

Through the entire first half, the writer-director duo holds the proceedings at a level which is totally in sync of the unpretentious spirit of the film. During the run-up on the climax, however, the film comes precariously around tying itself up in knots as the child-like aura it builds up begins to teeter on the edge of childishness. Mercifully, it stays on its feet and doesn’t topple over. For that alone the film deserves at least three stars.

Movie Review - Chillar Party

Actress Anushka Sharma detained at Mumbai Airport for carrying excess jewellery.



“She has claimed that the jewellery is not hers, and that she had borrowed it for the IIFA awards,” said a Customs officer.

It is common for actors to borrow jewellery in exchange for the brand’s promotion. They are, however, required to carry a certificate stating the jewels are not for trading purposes and will be brought back. Like Lamba, Sharma was not carrying the certificate, the officer said.

Anushka Sharma was carrying gold and diamond jewellery worth Rs 35 lakh and watches worth Rs 10 lakh. “She said some 5-6 jewellers had given their jewels to her. One of them is Nutandas Jewellers,” the officer added.

Anushka Sharma detained at Airport

Two Sundays ago, actor Shah Rukh Khan bared his heart in a solo appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 3, a celebrity chat show on TV, anchored by producer-director-fashion designer Karan Johar. But SRK’s statements like, “If things are not great between Salman and me, I think it’s my fault,” haven’t gone down to well with his friend-turned-foe Salman Khan.

“Shah Rukh and I can’t patch up. If he was really sorry or felt that whatever happened was his fault, he could have always walked up to my house, knocked on my door and said whatever he had to say. He could have even called or messaged me in private. But it’s no point going on national television and making statements. It was too dramatic,” says Salman. “After this, I don’t ever want to patch up with him. Period.”

SRK-SalmanThe actors first had a face-off of sorts on the sets of SRK’s Chalte Chalte, after which Aishwarya Rai, Salman’s then girlfriend, was replaced with Rani Mukherji. The two subsequently made up at common friend Farah Khan’s wedding.

Their next verbal duel happened two years ago, at actor Katrina Kaif’s birthday party at a Bandra nightspot with almost the entire industry on the guest list. Ever since, the Khans haven’t spoken to or worked with each other.

In one of the chat show segments on Star World, Johar even asked Shah Rukh if he’d pick up the phone if it flashed “Salman Khan calling”, to which Khan said yes, but only if he was near the phone. Given their current relationship status, would Salman call Shah Rukh? “Even if he wants or doesn’t want to pick up the phone, I don’t think I’m ever going to call him,” retorts Salman. “After his tear-jerking drama on TV, which I guess was more for eyeballs, TRPs and sympathy than anything else. There’s no way I will ever call him.”

Salman is also expected to appear on Koffee With Karan 3, but not before reportedly asking Johar to cough up Rs 50 lakh as fee for sipping coffee on the show.

“Arrey, I asked Karan to donate a decent amount to my Being Human charity,” Salman says, with a wink. “Whatever I’ve quoted is a miniscule amount for a big guy like him. Once he does that, I’ll shoot for the show.”

Salman fires another shot at SRK

Seems like Salman Khan is in no mood to forgive and forget! After Shah Rukh Khan apologised to the Dabangg actor on Koffee With Karan, Salman is not ready to forgive King Khan, reported IndiaGlitz.com

Bollywood's enfant terrible Salman, who is known to keep grudges
against people for a long time, has not accepted SRK's apology.

Salman believes that if SRK really wanted to apologise, he would've done that personally and not on television. "If Shahrukh wanted to say sorry, he should have called me or come to my place, he choose to say in public which I think is not proper. I know he will never say what happened that night," a source told IndiaGlitz.

SRK SalmanApparently, the feud started when SRK made a remark on Salman and Katrina which did not go down too well with Salman.

Well, we hope that Salman eases his anger and lets go of the issue with magnanimity.

Sallu didn't forgive Shah Rukh

Actor-producer and show host Karan Johar broke down when most effective buddy Shah Rukh Khan spoke about his former close friends Farah Khan and Salman Khan.

"SRK's episode with KJo is emotional exactly where Shah Rukh Khan has been caught in a mellow, introspective mood. He's emotionally vulnerable, revealing items that have hurt him during the last year," mentioned a source during the Koffee With Karan
sets.

The source says, "When Karan pointed out that people consider that old close friends Farah and Salman have a difficulty with Shah Rukh, he said: 'I do not know how to build close friends and if I do, I do not know how to preserve them.... If Salman and Farah are upset with me it is 100 per cent my fault but I can't select up the phone and say sorry.... I can't apologise not as a result of ego but because I can't just get myself to ask people to arrive back to me... I had asked my parents to arrive back and they didn't...'."

King Khan spoke very of his former friends. SRK spoke quite honestly about Sallu and Farah. He admitted how the biggest difficulty in his life is his cell phone as numerous of his close friends accuse him of not taking or ignoring their calls and messages."

Karan was moved to tears when SRK mentioned that he can't often tell people that he loves them.

Further on, the source adds, "He (SRK) says, 'I consider it is understood that I love them if I have told them once... I can't preserve repeating it... I have a difficulty saying 'I love you' twice and thrice and preserve repeating the words... Even in my films I can't preserve saying 'I love you!'.'

It was a completely several cup of coffee this time. It is awkward to discuss and recreate this kind of intimate scenes commonly again. I have in no way grow to be emotional on Koffee With Karan because that may be in no way been the tone in the show (it's commonly spicy and controversial)."

About his buddy's appearance on the show KJo said, "Shah Rukh is warm and heart felt as he naturally is. He has spoken on all his relationships, family members and friendships. There's particular strength in what he had to say. He is beyond any kind of issues. You consider he has risen above every case and comes via beautifully on the show."

This coffee on the couch episode with SRK was emotionally unplugged more than humor unplugged. It is a brand new impact!"

The episode will air this week on January 2.
