Filmmakers fooling the audience with ratings
IndiaFM | Wednesday, 08 April , 2009, 11:13
It's fashionable to highlight film reviewers' ratings in newspaper ads of movies. But, of late, a new trend seems to be catching up.
The critics' ratings have been replaced with audience ratings. Last week, the ads of Ek-The Power Of One highlighted 'five stars' - the verdict of the audiences, while the makers of 8 x 10 Tasveer have gone a step ahead. The ad states: "Five stars - audience verdict. 90 per cent opening on Day 1."
The interesting part is, even the tall claims failed to lure audiences to cinema halls.

‘Not at Mannat!’
Aamir turns down SRK’s invite to meet at home
MEENA IYER Times News Network
Has the Bollywood producers and distributors’ stand-off with the multiplexes over a 50:50 profit sharing broken the ice between Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan? No, they only came together for this cause, and BT has learned that the personal differences between the Bollywood Khans is far from over.
It was Aamir who after his meetings with the multiplex representatives, took it upon himself to involve the other Alist actors. “He sent an SMS to Shah Rukh, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan,” said a United Producers and Distributors Association Forum member.
Akshay, Salman and Saif replied that they were busy with their shoots, but would go along with whatever Aamir thought best for the industry; Hrithik didn’t respond at all; and, Shah Rukh was graceful enough to lend his support. The Bollywood Badshah also invited Aamir to his home, Mannat.
“The principled man that he is, Aamir is reported to have told Shah Rukh that since they have a few unresolved personal issues, he would not go to Mannat. ‘And let’s not meet at my home, either, let’s meet on neutral ground,’ Aamir is said to have added. And that is why meetings were held at Karan Johar’s Union Park residence for two nights in a row,’’ said the source.
When they met at Karan’s house, SRK and Aamir got so involved with the multiplex issue, that they left their differences aside. “Shah Rukh was happy to let Aamir lead because he knew Aamir had already had a few meetings, and was more updated on the issue,’’ said the source. Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Mukesh Bhatt, Priti Shahani and Karan Johar witnessed the crackling chemistry between Bollywood’s two super-giants. “SRK, who is blessed with the gift of the gab, was truly a treat to hear,’’ said one of those present at this high-power summit.
While digging into pastries that were served, Shah Rukh commented, “With Aamir around, I have to eat something extra sweet.’’ At which Aamir laughed. Next, when Aamir went to find a toilet and came back (thrice) complaining to Karan that all the toilets were occupied, Shah Rukh teased him saying, “Arre, what’s with you? Do you want to pee in every toilet in Karan’s house?’’ SRK then asked Aamir for some personal advice on how to quit smoking. “How did you manage to give up,’’ he asked Aamir. “I’m trying real hard but I haven’t succeeded.’’

NOT YOUR HOME: Shah Rukh Khan with Aamir Khan

S-mothered away?
Farida Jalal is hurt after not being offered a single role in Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Yash Chopra films since 1998
VICKEY LALWANI
Industry’s favourite onscreen mother, Farida Jalal has made a comeback in the television serial, Balika Vadhu. But why didn’t we see much of her in the last few years? Buzz is, Farida had a fall-out with Shah Rukh Khan in 1998 during the making of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, in which she played a doting mother to SRK. Soon after, she stopped being a favourite with SRK and also his filmmaker buddies Karan Johar and Yash Chopra.
Farida soon faded from the filmi circuit. She says, “I was initially roped in to do Sushma Seth’s role in Karan’s Kal Ho Na Ho. However, things didn’t work out. ”
Did good work cease to come her way especially after KKHH? “That’s right,” she says. “I don’t know if either Shah Rukh or Karan or Yash Chopra has an issue with me. At least I don’t have one with them. I met them on a few occasions recently, and they’ve been sweet to me. But that hasn’t translated into work.”
Hurt by the trio, Farida admits, “When I heard that Shah Rukh was planning to produce films, I expected to be offered a role in his first film. Yash Johar used to say that he writes my roles before anyone else’s. Maybe they feel I’m not happening anymore. I have no clue why I am not offered roles in their films. I am open to working with them again.”
