Madhur Bhandarkar
I am waiting with bated breath for Madhur Bhandrakar’s Jail. This, not because I am an avid fan… Good God no! Heaven forbid if such an unfortunate event ever occurred! Unlike my nitpicking, carping sister, I am waiting for his upcoming movie because I am really looking forward to the full monty of Bollywood’s breath of fresh air, aka Neil Nitin Mukesh.
He claims he was embarrassed when he first discussed doing the scene with Madhur. He was wondering how his family would take it. Thank God, he didn’t listen to the voice of reason and decided to go au naturel.
For all you women out there, Neil has stripped completely and you will be able to see a lot of skin on him! And girls, if we’re in luck, Bhandarkar’s camera will slip and give us a sneak peek of something more! Whew! Where’s the fire brigade? This hottie is sending temperatures soaring to dangerous levels. And girls, let’s be honest here….we need a new drool tool now that cranky pre-pensioners Sallu and SRK are losing hair, muscle tone and credibility.
The only thing we need to see now is whether a hot guy stripping completely in a movie draws as much a crowd as the antics of the bouncy, boob-brigade bimbos like Rakhi Sawant or Sherlyn Chopra.

Given his track record of making movies inspired by real life, I had been wondering what Madhur Bhandarkar’s next movie Jail would be based on. And it now turns out that at least some of the inspiration is from the infamous BMW case of Sanjeev Nanda and Alistair Pereira.
Now, this is what I like about this guy. He has the guts and the will to handle a tough, real subject. Something, which we can never expect from the likes of Karan Johar and company. Even Ram Gopal Verma’s movies, for that matter, dish out doses of un-reality, albeit in the realm of the gory and the mysterious. He did give us some good ones like Kaun and Bhooth, for instance, and Rangeela, of course, but lately he has lost his touch, and keeps losing it more with every subsequent film.
Anyway, Bhandarkar keeps exploring the life each one of us lives, and never fails to surface with something that shakes us up. Of course, he does make it filmy, can’t blame him for that though. No one wants to watch documentaries, and everyone wants BO success in order to survive.
So, I am actually looking forward to Jail, stuffed as I am with regular Bollywood fare like Love Aaj Kal, etc. Also, in this age of ‘made-up reality’ shows, I’m choking for something that I won’t find too hard to believe.
But Bhandarkar is snipping Jail ruthlessly here and there to appease the dreadful Indian Censor Board. After doing away with a nude scene of Neil Nitin Mukesh, he’s also left a masturbation scene out, it seems. Let’s pray that in his efforts to compromise, we don’t end up with something that looks like it’s a hybrid between KJo and RGV’s creations. Argh!

Madhur Bhandarkar, fearing more snips and swipes from the censor board, has decided to not let Neil Nitin Mukesh go completely nude after all in his movie Jail. And, when you see the pale and pudgy Neil in the pic above, I think you’ll agree it’s a wise decision not only practically, but also aesthetically. There’s only so punishment we are willing to take from Bollywood.
Frankly, I am surprised at how lean Neil can look with clothes on, and how plump he actually is in the buff. After New York and all that basketball with John Abraham, wasn’t he inspired to get more in shape? I mean, I don’t see an iota of muscle anywhere, dude! Maybe you forgot that the camera adds 10-12 pounds and you should factor that in when preparing for a nude scene? A few less pancakes, lattes and chapatis perhaps?
Very sad, considering that this scene in Jail could have been a milestone marking male nudity in Indian cinema.

Madhur Bhandarkar has elevated deceit to an art form. What else will you call his scheming and conniving to get one up on his friend turned foe Ashutosh Gowarikar.
He had planned this underhanded trick to upstage Ashutosh Gowarikar’s What’s Your Rashee by releasing his Jail on the same day that is October 16th and eat into his profits, thereby hitting him where it hurt most.
But his grandiose plans to settle scores with Ashutosh went kaput when the governing body of motion pictures and producers forbade him from releasing his film on the same date.
The chastised-like-a-truant- kid Madhur had to backtrack and agree to release his film on October 23rd.
All we can say is eat crow Madhur!!

Do people fit item numbers in movies or do they make movies around item numbers?
Filed under : Madhur Bhandarkar, Sayali Bhagat
I’ve been thinking about this profound question over the weekend and i realize that i’ve always wondered about the significance of an item number bang in the middle of a movie. After sitting through the many gyrations and twists and turns of the item girl, the viewer is somehow expected to get a hold over himself and continue with the movie as if nothing happened.
But it turns out I’m not the only one with some compassion towards the easily excitable audience: Sayali Bhagat, too, shares my thoughts.
She’s doing a raunchy number for Madhur Bhandarkar again in Jail, and this is what she had to say about it: “I’m curious to see where this song is going to fit in a serious film like Jail.” You should know better, Sayali. We do, and so does Madhur.
