An eyewitness reveals, “Shahid and Kareena came face to face and everyone thought they would simply ignore each other like they have done on many occasions in the past. But this time, Karan happened to be present right there and instead of marching past each other, they slowed down for a bit. And the rest, as they say, is history.”

“Shahid and Kareena have finally decided to leave their acrimonious past behind them. This was very evident in the manner all three of them - Shahid, Kareena and Saif - interacted with each other at Shah Rukh’s party,” adds the source.

Kareena’s official spokesperson indirectly confirms the patch-up, “Kareena has no problem with anybody, including Shahid.”

Bollywood has finally learnt to forgive and forget.

Many are left disappointed to learn that the stars of these films can’t sing. They lip-sync. Fine vocalists behind those songs rarely get their due. Few know music composers by face. Dance steps that movie-stars perform to aren’t the toughest to imitate either. The leading man of our cinema is often not even the best actor of his own film crew. He is just the better looking.

The plot of ‘Tum Mile’ unfolds the unfortunate saga of two star-crossed ex-lovers Ali Taha (Emraan Hashmi) and Sanjana (Soha Ali Khan), who could not take their relationship to its logical conclusion. On a stormy night accompanied by a heavy downpour (July 26, 2005), when Mumbai is marred with flood, the ex-lovers cross paths, bumping into each other after a long gap of six years. An awkward, unanticipated encounter on a flight back to Mumbai soon makes way for a roller-coaster ride, replete with topsy-turvy situations.

Soon, the ex-lovers Ali and Sanjana find themselves in disarray. Circumstances force both of them, who now belong to different worlds, to stick together, even as Mumbai reels under turmoil in its darkest hours, facing cataclysmic losses. The movie captures their changing perspectives from the past to the present. It shows two contrasting personalities falling in love, for opposites can’t resist getting attracted to each other, only to fall out and separate later, due to their irreconcilable differences.

As fate would have it, their present meeting unleashes demons of the past and reveals their insecurities and hidden fears. The storm inside is accompanied with their struggle to make thorough the stormiest Mumbai night. Will they be able to see the light of day, surviving a night threatening to swallow the entire city? Will they reunite and give each other another chance or get back to their own distant worlds? Viewers will get to know the answers to these obvious questions only on November 13, when the movie will hit the theaters. Till then, it’s certainly not anybody’s guess!

Director : Vishal Bharadwaj

Rating: ****

Vishal Bharadwaj makes a first half that’s so good that it’s near flawless. Charlie lisps. Guddu stammers. To create identical twins with a distinctive speech impediment is a master-stroke. And to set them in a sea of dubious, dodgy characters, where they all have to swim or sink, has the audacious stamp of a director who’s always gone where everyone else in Bollywood has feared to tread.

Khan, who was detained at Newark airport for slightly over an hour, clarified that the reason given to him for detention was that his name kept popping up on the computer and not because of lost baggage issues.

 While confirming that he wanted to move on with life, Shah Rukh did admit that he felt slightly violated when asked to name people in America who could vouch for him. ‘‘I don’t want to be treated as somebody special and I don’t want anyone to lose their job because of this incident. But should they have taken my fingerprints and retina scan,
then let me off without verifying these? It shows the system is wrong.’’

Khan brushed aside allegations of the incident being a publicity stunt for his forthcoming film. ‘‘I don’t need a stunt to remain in the public eye. And I don’t think being detained and questioned is a matter of pride. But one cannot deny that this is a problem happening around the world,’’ said the actor, adding that this was the not the first time he was called aside for questioning.

Quoting German pastor Martin Niemoller, Khan said, ‘‘They came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.’’
