Ashutosh Gowariker's next project , What's Your Rashee , is under production right now but the poster is out now and usually I don't write about the posters until and unless something strikes me about it . What struck me here was the lack of creativity . The poster is nothing but a sunsign chart with nothing related to film apart from the name of the cast and producers .It looks more like a colourful Dart Board . I expected a little more creativity on Ashutosh's part who has made films like Lagaan , Swades and Jodhaa Akbar . I remember distinctively the way the poster and trailer of Jodha Akbar was launched and this contrasting behaviour shows that may be he is not that excited about this film . I can understand that the film doesn't have a Hrithik,Aamir or SRK but then he could have put a little more effort in it .
The film stars the disastrous couple of 2008 , Priyanka-Harman , and I just hope their Rashi's are in perfect positions while the film releases . The poster does lack creativity but I hope the film doesn't . Ashutosh please make sure that at least the teaser trailer is good . I remember very well the buzz that Jodha Akbar's poster created on the web and I hope you take these small things a little seriously else any rashee won't be able to save the film ...And by any chance if you read this post then I'd like to tell you that Lagaan should have won the Oscar ..screw the Academy , the film is a masterpiece in itself . I loved all your films even the 3.5 hrs long Jodha Akbar . The West can never understand films like Omkara and Lagaan which are purely Indian ..

Thanks Saurabh for your compliments on my movies. I appreciate your review on the TEASER POSTER of What's Your Raashee? Just thought I'd tell you that we have kept it simple because we want to convey that this film is about Raashees/Moon Signs and the font should suggest that it is a romantic COMEDY. I am especially glad that you thought it to be a 'dart board', which is the intention and I really hope that others too notice exactly that. Looking forward to hear from you again when we come out with our PHASE TWO of the poster. Cheers... and by the way, what's your raashee? :-) Ashutosh Gowariker
ReplyDeletehi mr.gowariker... ofcz it looks like a dart board... nice poster... here's another idea... it's better if u can make this poster as a 3D animation making the dart board to rotate... to be published online... i'm a sri lankan who's looking forward to watch ur movie...
ReplyDeletewell, i liked the second poster of the film whats your rashee?.the picture shows harman baweja as a cool and funky guy.(atleast it seems so).i love seeing your films mr. gowariker, and believe me, am totally anti-srk guy! but among all your films i loved swadesh, haman is my hero, and am very dissapointed regarding the fact that his past 2 films didnt work, though his performance in victory is worth praising. am glad that you have chosen harman baweja,i think you have noticed his actual talent which hasent still been showcast.Am waiting eagerly for this film to release and one more thing for Mr. sourabh, please dont be so rude while writing about something.You will understand what i am saying when you get to see harman's talent in Whats your rashee
ReplyDeleteHi Rahul ,
ReplyDeleteThanx a lot and I agree that second poster is much much better and it should have been in fact the first one . Priyanka and Harman both look and I have only one fear that Piggy Chops might steal the limelight . I wish Harman proves me completely wrong and he works hard to impress the audience this time . Ashutosh n team does a good job for this poster . In my opinion now Harman has to work real hard to change his image and someone has to work on that with him , I hope Ashutosh does . He should treat himself like a newbie who has got a golden opportunity to work with Ashutosh n team then probably things would work out
Rahul I don't mean to sound rude and I know it is easy to say things and doing them is much more difficult ... I always hav this dilemma in my mind while writing , whether should I write what I feel exactly or not bcoz it might hurt the other person and after all everyone works so hard ....
hope to cu back on my blog ...cheers
well, its ur duty 2 write what u feel, and thats fine. Actually am a big harman fan and if anyone says anything bad about him, i cant stand that.truly speaking , he really copied hrithik alot in love story 2050, but if you have seen victory, u will realy understand that he is really a good actor.That film didnt work, due to lack of good star cast, da director being not a successful one n the plot being predictable.he just needed an able director to guide him. this film and the other 2 upcoming ones,r being directed by able directors like mr.bazmee and mr.bhansali.and i am glad that u liked the 2nd poster, and i also feel da same, that priyanka just might steal the show.just hope that harman wins every1s hrt by his new film, n i hav full confidence that he will.
ReplyDeleteHi i m nachiketa.....who will be music director of this movie? a r rahman???????????
ReplyDeletehi nachiket its nt ar rehman its suhel sen new music director
ReplyDeletebut......yaaar rehman is the best ......its agppl movie ......i thought rehman will lead its music ....so sad yaar i love rahman
ReplyDeletewhen da movie is made by agppl i thot it wud defenitly have a r rehman leading the music..but unfortunately this a sad news for al the fans..i feel sorry for the ace director who made a wrong choice..lagaan jodha akbar and swades,those movies had that complete aroma with the perfect blending of direction and enchanting magical music..wel the hype is let down any ways...hope he does not repeat the mistake again...al da bst.....
ReplyDeleteAll the songs are great , i liked all the songs , Ashutosh did not make any mistake , at least i think so !
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all staff member of this film specially Tejpal singh rawat for his wonderful contribution.All this best for your upcomming movies.He is really a great gye.
ReplyDeletei like the promos of the movie and i think ashutosh has taken the right desicion to cast harman and priyanka but i actually dislike the fact as to how harman is being potrayed by the media and popular channels like MTV an zoom where they call harman as a unlucky person and call him hurman hirman heeman all those mans .but all the best harman
ReplyDeleteWell the people who take a dig at Harman all do as a part of their job .. I don't think even Harman should feel bad about it .. I very well remember how Saif Ali Khan was made fun of when he came in to the business ... in my opinion he was even worse than what Harman is ... but now look at him ..he has some fabulous films like omakara,being cyrus and parineenta etc. under his belt which is commendable .... I feel the same for Harman ..he'll also get his share if he sticks and learns just like Saif did .. .. Regarding the music .. I didn't write the review of it bcoz it just didn;t impress me .. good part thought the songs are not long and if used properly which I am sure Ashutosh would , won't hurt the film ... I just liked Jao Na ... in fact when I heard Jao Na in the promos I started to have a feelin that just bcoz Rehman is more busy these days Ashutosh just might hav given a break to a good new music composer .. but sorry I got disappointed from the album ... the work didi seem to be of an amateur ..
ReplyDeleteIn the past Zee TV used to show a serial "Yule Love Story", "Swadesh" & "What's your Rashi" stories were part of that hit serial, if I'm not wrong Ashutosh even worked in that serial. It seems like he is having a hang over of those episode and making movies using those stories.
ReplyDeletenyc post...
ReplyDeleteYesss. Swadesh was a remake of his own episode in Yule Love story. I remember it so well

ReplyDeleteHi ,
ReplyDeleteThe board is just perfect, it says out all about what the film is.
Well done, Ashutosh bhau
I loved the movie n the poster is just perfect
ReplyDeleteIt symbolises the movie
The movie is awesome
I loved the directionn, the acting n everything about d movie
I would only like to give a suggestion n that is if Harman would have met the girl he marries first, the film would have made more sense as that would have justify Priyanka's 12 roles
Anyways I loved d movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
super long movie...gosshhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteSongs are good....
ReplyDeleteBut movie is boring...
I ALSO THINK THAT THE MOVIE IS VERY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG AND LACKS A GOOD STORY LINE...WELL THAT'S JUST MY OPINION
ReplyDeleteThis movie is not a well directed movie..
ReplyDeleteSongs are very good.. specially saw janam ..
and Priyanka in Different looks is best..
