"TASVEER" 2009 by Akshay and Ayesha

 Akshay and Ayesha Takia's new film begins well.

Jai Puri the charater of Akshay in the flim is a forest ranger in Canada. For over a year he is having a live in relationship with Sheela the charater of Takia and staying separately from his parents Jatin the charater of Benjamin Gilani and Savitri as Sharmila Tagore because he doesn’t approve of his father’s business dealings. Jai is blessed with supernatural powers with which he can look at any photograph and can actually go right into that moment when it was actually clicked. Through this he helps the needy who come to him to seek answers but at the same time this whole process is dangerous to his health as the high anxiety caused because of it can even kill him. His life gets shattered when he comes to know about his father’s death. It is supposedly an accident as his father slipped down their yacht and had a heart attack when fallen into cold water.

His mother, father’s business partner cum brother Sunder as Anant Mahadevan, business associate Adit (Rushad Rana) and good friend cum lawyer Anil Sharma (Girish Karnad) were present on the yacht when the accident took place. While Jai too dismisses it as an accident, Habib aka Happi (Javed Jaffery) a whimsical ex-cop meets him and explains the possibility of a murder.

Jai in the beginning disbelieves him but Happi tries to bring to notice proofs that lead Jai to believe that it was indeed a murder. Jai starts using his special gift to trace the murderer through that one photograph which was clicked just minutes before his father died. But then two more murders take place and Jai is left stunned. How one shocking revelation leads to other and what “truth” comes face to face at the pre-climax forms the rest of the film.

Though slow paced you understand it is intentional and go along the flow. The premise of the film and the setting keeps getting really interesting and also some superbly shot sequences keep you on the edge. It is almost like watching a Hollywood suspense thriller directed by M.Night Shyamalan. But the whole premise falters during the last 30 minutes in what appears like a never ending climax.

So many questions beg to be answered, but they may spoil the suspense for readers. One very big flaw that yawns at the base of the plot is that the killer bumps off so many people stupidly, when he could have had what he wanted by just killing one person, Jai, and taking his place.

If you are brave to sit awake through two-plus hours of banality, you’ll know what I mean.

What happened between Salman and Katrina again ?????

Rumours are rife that Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan’s relationship is going through a rough patch.Salman Khan and Katrina's relationship has hit a rocky patch and the couple might split anytime, according to the grapevine.Salman Khan and his lovely girlfriend Katrina Kaif haven't had the most stable of relationships. It seems like there's always something that's just not quite right with those two. The on again and off again way that Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif handle things seems the norm for them these days. But would we really have it any other way?

According to a souce, Salman didn't even bother to stay in touch with Katrina while he was shooting for Veer at Jodhpur.Salman Khan.Though it was Katrina who was more secretive about the relationship and Sallu was too proud to flaunt their bond, the actress is now trying to make things happen between them. But Sallu has been behaving strangely of late, informs the source.

A friend informs that, "Salman hardly talks to Katrina even when she is with him. Periods of cold silence in any relationship signal that the couple has drifted apart and this is the last thing Katrina wants in her life."

Salman's possessive nature is said to be the reason behind this problem. The actor wants to control Katrina's life but at the same he wants that she shouldn't question him about anything. KatrinaA close source said Khan hasn’t changed at all. “Like his previous relationships -- with Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani and Aishwarya Rai, love means ownership to him. He wants to control the reins of his relationship with Kaif. Moreover, he has suddenly started feeling that he must marry someone who will be a perfect housewife and not someone who has a life of her own. When will Khan realise that love is all about companionship?

Everyone in the industry knows that Salman helped Katrina at a time when she was new to the industry. Her debut venture Boom in 2003 was a box office disaster and Salman was his peak of success with films like Baaghban and Mujhse Shaadi Karoge had just been released. That is when Salman Khan was introduced to this new comer who had nobody in the industry and was all set to try her luck with good looks and anglicized accent. Apart from a few commercials Katrina Kaif had not signed any film. That is when Salman Khan came to her resuce as her knight in shining armour.

His family accepted her graciously and she became a part of the entire Khandaan. They went on do films together like Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya in 2005 which failed to appeal the audiences. Their next David Dhawan’s Partner was a hit but they were not paired opposite each other. Their latest offering Subhash Ghai went to become another box office failure. Though they have been accepted as an offscreen couple they still haven’t managed to create the same magic on screen.

Katrina in the mean time went on to do films with other heroes and churned out one hit after the other. Slowly and steadily she climbed the ladder of success finally conquering the pedestal of the number one position. Be it films; commercials or endorsements the Katrina has made her place secure everywhere. Yet she humbly states, “I feel lucky and privileged and have been bless that God has answered all my prayers. I am trying to give my best and am working hard. The whole journey has been wonderful. What more can I say.”

Today their positions are reversed.
