Unabashed entertainment, 1970s style

Hmm, that's about it, I think — keywords to three hours of non-stop entertainment.

Spell the three magic words — Main Hoon Na — and brace yourself for unlimited action.

How do I describe Main Hoon Na? Let's see. It begins like a Jerry Bruckheimer action flick. It transforms into a Kuch Kuch Hota Hai kind of campus caper. It develops into an emotional Deewar. It goes back into the Bruckheimer mould only to end like the musical Grease.

Offscreen: You are still adjusting your creaky chair ensuring that the popcorn doesn't slip out of your hands.

Onscreen: A television show is taken over by a bunch of terrorists, their leader Raghavan shoots Major Shekhar Sharma (Naseeruddin Shah) when the latter tries to protect General Bakshi (Kabir Bedi). His son, also a major, Ram Prasad (Shah Rukh Khan), makes an Ethan Hunt-style entry amidst a lot of gunshots, firing, mid-air diving, the works.

Bottom line: Bang! Bang! Bang! The plot unfolds at a bullet's pace.

Cut to chase! Cut to St Paul's School, Darjeeling! Cut to railway platform!

Cut! Cut! Cut! One thing at a time.

Main Hoon Na comes in as the latest 'feel-good' flick from the house of Red Chillies Entertainment and Venus that is about to storm the box-office in a couple of months. With a mega star-cast; Farah Khan (who doesn't need any introduction) making her directorial debut and the music department being handled by Anu Malik and Javed Akhtar, what one expects is not less than a rip-roaring musical journey.

Title track 'Main Hoon Naa' has everything going in its favour. Lilting melody, meaningful lyrics, wonderful cinematography and last but not the least, it comes straight after another Shah Rukh Khan hit - title song of 'Kal Ho Na Ho'. Here too, Shah Rukh Khan carries this song well all by himself and sets stage for yet another chartbuster in his career. Sonu Nigam is simply excellent while carrying with him the super form he was in 2003 whereas Shreya Goshal gives good support in this beautifully written song by Javed Akhtar. A definite hit all the way! A remix of the same composed by Ranjit Barot also makes an appearance but it is mainly an instrumental rather than a song and is mainly situational that should appear in the background.

• Actress Tabu and director Karan Johar also appear in the Shahrukh starrer. Close buddies of Farah Khan, both Tabu and Karan Johar appear at different instances in the film. However, both have just blink-it-and-disappear bits in the films.
• In fact, worried director Farha Khan thought there wasn't enough romance between the two and has shot a hot romantic duet with the couple just two weeks before release!
• The song, 'Chale Jaise Hawaien', is a one shot song. Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan rehearsed for months to get their steps right... and boy they sure did. The song is canned in one shoot with a steadycam and they got it right in five takes.
• Hrithik Roshan was to play the second lead in the film initially. But due to some problems, Hrithik Roshan opted out of the film after one day of shooting. Sohail Khan was then considered for the role. Even Farhan Akhtar was on Farah's wish list. However, Zayed Khan was finally roped in.
• Latest buzz, Farah and 27-year old model Pravin Sirohi are said to be an item. Interestingly, Pravin makes his Bollywood debut in Main Hoon Na. He plays a college student and claims that it's an important role
