Being a die hard fan of ‘Sholay’ I was absolutely shocked when I heard that Ram Gopal Verma would be remaking the classic a couple of months ago. As the star cast was slowly revealed (it sucks), and when the soundtrack came out last week (sucks also), my heart broke into more and more pieces.

And now the man has to audacity to promote this god forsaken film with a useless partnership with some cell-phone media company.

Because people are dying to download ring-tones from the movie.

Not.

Anyway, the movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sushmita Sen, Ajay Devgan, blah, blah, blah….

Vishal Bhardwaj’s newest offering, ‘The Blue Umbrella’, premiered at Cinemax in Versova, Mumbai last week. The entire cast of the movie was present, including Pankaj Kapur and child artist . Ajay Devgan also came out to support his director friend; after all, he does owe his success in the magnum opus, ‘Omkara’, to Vishal. Other celebrities present at the event were Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpai, and director of ‘Rang De Basanti’, Rakeysh Mehra.
