Starring Pankaj Kapoor,Shabana Azmi, Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma, Aarya Babbar Directed by Vishal Bharadwaj Rating: *** There is plenty of singing and dancing in this whimsical serio-comic drama about a landlord who when inebriated, becomes one among the peasant class hollering for the blood of the bloodsuckers ,and when sober becomes a tyrant who pushes around his driver-cum-man-Friday with a gusto that most moviegoers would recognize as a sign of power gone to the head.

In her long and illustrious career this must be the first occasion when choreographer Saroj Khan’s work has been scrapped. But the need of the hour was a change of choreography.

It's going to be composer Vishal Bharadwaj’s first score in the English language. And Vishal is kicked, mighty kicked. Yes, it’s finally happening. After more than a year of dillydallying, the stage musical version of Mira Nair’s 2001 game-changerMonsoon Wedding is finally getting ready to hit the road. We hear the Bollywood-styled songs will carpet the musical adaptation of the beloved film. Vishal Bhardwaj who has been roped in to do the music will now put on her singing-cap with lyricist Abbas Tyrewalla Mira next month to conjure as many 11 songs for the Broadway-styled musical.
