It has been a long time since a comedy flick made your sides split, right! Coming to end the drought is Anil Kapoor's production 'Short Kut - The Con Is On'. Shot in the charming locales of Thailand, the movie promises to provide you the correct dose of humor, combined with emotions that will tug at your heartstrings. It has been directed by Neeraj Vora and will be released on 10th July 2009, under the banners 'Anil Kapoor Film Company' and 'Indian Films'.

The music for 'Short Kut' has been provided by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa, while Javed Akhtar is the lyricist. The star cast of this comedy film includes Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi, Amrita Rao and Chunkey Pandey. The story of 'Short Kut' revolves around the life of two con artists - a struggling director and a wannabe actor. The crazy situations they face in the 'city of glamour and hope' is what forms the basic idea behind the flick.

Shekhar (Akshaye Khanna), an aspiring assistant director, is struggling to make it big in the film industry. Working on the same lines is Chandu (Arshad Warsi), a wannabe junior artiste. While Shekhar is an extremely capable and confident person, Chandu is nothing short of a joker, who thinks himself to be the next superstar-in-the-making. One day, they happen to meet each other and develop a friendly acquaintance.

Shekhar has a prized script in his hand and one fine day, Chandu manages to steal it. Soon, Chandu finds himself on the road to super stardom, all on the basis of Shekhar's script. Hurt and miserable, Shekhar plunges into depression and soon, his wife Mansi (Amrita Rao) also leaves him. Now, Shekhar has only one aim in life - to get even with Chandu. As the film moves ahead, a hilarious fable of con, trickery, fame and the consequent descent comes up.

Love Aaj Kal

Love Aaj

London, San Francisco, Delhi - 2009.

Jai and Meera is a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow. "These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books," Jai says. In the real life, we have to be practical.

Love Kal

Delhi, Calcutta - 1965.

Veer Singh is struck by a thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that "is janam mein aur har janam mein... yehi meri votti banegi - Harleen Kaur." He travels a thousand kilometers by train to stand under her balcony only to have a glimpse of her face. And yet not speak a word with her.

Love Aaj Kal

Veer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion, like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh could have been so naive and silly about Harleen in the days of his youth. But as both stories unfold, we realize that the process of relationship might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. So there is the frolic and despair of modern living, the liberation and confusion. And there is the past - the times of innocence and compulsion. And there is distance, and the fondness that increases with distance. Gaps widen between two people, but bridges keep growing too.

Bollywood reacts on Jackson's death

I am posted this post with a grief heart. And paid my tribute to the worldwide famous King of Pop Michael Jackson. Rest in Peace Michael We Miss you.


Shilpa Shetty : “I still can’t believe Michael Jackson is gone! When my Dad told me I thought he was joking.I’ve always been aMicheal Jackson huge fan of Michael. I’m shattered. I had booked tickets to watch his show at 02 in London . They got cancelled and re-scheduled. To call him an icon would be an understatement . I still can’t believe it!

Asin : “Michael Jackson is a legend. I absolutely love his music and dance.His music defined a generation, just like Elvis Presley and the Beatles before him. ‘Heal The World’ is my favourite Michael Jackson track. It left an indelible imprint on my mind. This is is a big loss to all us MJ fans. I already miss him.

Urmila Matondkar : “There have been many many famous entertainers and there will be others. But none like Michael Jackson . He’s truly an inspiration to entertainers in every part of the world. His singing and dancing were beyond any language, culture caste or religion. No wonder he had fans in the biggest metros and remotest villages.

Anushka Sharma : “Oh my God! I’m utterly shocked. Michael Jackson’s ‘Black Or White’ was one of the few western pop tunes I was introduced to in my early teens . We’ve lost a musical genius and a splendid performer. His music will live forever. He was undoubtedly a genius.

Mithun Chakraborty : “He can never go. He will always be with us. He was the greatest ever. The God of dancing. Immortal

Subhash Ghai: “Michael Jackson was a symbol of fire, passion and energy. He changed the way civilization looked at popular entertainment .The youth all over including India followed him.

Minissha Lamba : “It’s devastating to know Michael Jackson is no more. He revolutionized pop music. It was sad to see someone who gave joy to millions around the world with his songs, go through so much in the last decade of his life. Destiny makes you the King, and then decides to snatch away your happiness.

Anu Malik : “Michael Jackson the king of pop, the king of music, the king of kings was insulted and humiliated in his lifetime. They called him wacko jacko. They didn’t know, such a legend would never return to our world. The same people want to sing his praises now. MJ was a gentle soul, a remarkable musician, a true rock star.I want to remember him by his music.I am heartbroken by his death. And I’m amused how everyone is tripping over to praise this great soul. Maybe the soul of this great achiever rest in ever-lasting peace.

Pritam Chakraborty : “It was so hard to believe! The first news flash this morning had a question mark. Is MJ dead? I hope he wasn’t.But he was. It’s one of the saddest days in world music.May his soul rest in peace. MJ is immortal. His legacy will linger luminously for lifetimes.

Tusshar Kapoor : “It’s very depressing to hear about Michael Jackson’s death. I spent my childhood listening to his songs and watching his videos. He was my ultimate pop icon. His death makes me realize the hard uncertainties of life.

Dino Morea : “It’s awful. I’ve been glued to CNN since morning. I’ve watched just about every video of his, heard and danced to every song. Heck, I even have scratches of his unreleased tracks! He was truly the legend, just about the greatest performer to date.I used to try to dance like him at every school and college party. I don’t think anyone can match Michael’s steps or stage presence.I don’t think there was any part of the globe that Michael didn’t reach with his music. I was to go for his concert in the UK next month.

Sammir Dattani : “Shit , Michael Jackson gone! I was supposed to go for his concert which coincided with my sister’s graduation in London .Damn, now I’ll never see get to see the original moonwalker. I’ll just made do with Darsheel in Tare Zameen Par.

Aadesh Shrivastav : “His demise has left a void in the music industry that can never be filled. His music and dancing took stardom to another level. He was an incomparable performer.

Amrita Arora : “I’m hugely shocked and saddened. We’ve lost the world’s biggest and most beloved entertainer. Michael is dead. But his music will live forever.

Amrita Rao : “I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan. This news is devastating. He had the best body language ever. In ‘Thriller’ just his expressions and selfconfidence make him look like the most handsome man on earth. The world will miss him. And for many of us, it’s like losing a childhood friend.”

Malaika Arora : “I’m in total shock. For me MJ is the greatest, a true legend. The King will live on through his music.

Himesh Reshammiya : “He was a legend and an inspiration for everyone in music.I think his popularity was unmatched. I truly pray for his soul to rest in peace.”

New York Reviews and Ratings

Myth: NEW YORK is about 9/11.
Fact: It's not. But it reflects the mood that's prevalent across the globe, post 9/11. The world is divided today. No two opinions on that!

Myth: NEW YORK bears a striking similarity to KHUDA KAY LIYE.
Fact: Nope. KHUDA KAY LIYE and NEW YORK may belong to the same family, of an innocent person being picked up for questioning after the WTC catastrophe, but the similarities end there. In fact, KHUDA KAY LIYE and NEW YORK are as diverse as chalk and cheese.

NEW YORK, helmed by Kabir Khan, attempts to be as real as possible. A tale of friendship, with terrorism as the wallpaper, NEW YORK hits you like a ton of bricks at several points in the narrative. In fact, there was a possibility that NEW YORK may turn out to be a dry experience, a documentary perhaps, but the drama is so well structured and so gripping that you get sucked into the world of Sam, Omar and Maya from its inception.

NEW YORK is a triumph for Kabir Khan, who deserves distinction marks for handling the subject with remarkable maturity. Also, this film should be a turning point for John, Katrina and Neil. More on that later...

The verdict? NEW YORK is, without doubt, one of the finest films produced by this premier production house, Yash Raj. Grab a ticket today!

Omar [Neil Nitin Mukesh] has gone abroad for the first time in his life and soon enough, he begins to see and love America through the eyes of his American friends, Sam [John Abraham] and Maya [Katrina Kaif]. But an incident changes the world round them.

At this point enters Agent Roshan [Irrfan], an FBI agent, who sets the ball rolling for a series of tumultuous events that turn the lives of these friends upside down.

NEW YORK affects you like no other Hindi film has done so far [on 9/11]. In fact, there are portions that give you goose bumps, especially towards the second half of the film, when John recounts his past.

One of the reasons why NEW YORK works is because not once does Kabir Khan borrow from the past or tilt towards predictable stuff. You just can't guess what and where the story is headed and what the culmination would be. The director and his team of writers establish the plot and characters beautifully, but the real action is reserved for the second half. The nightmarish experience that John undergoes is disturbing, but lifts the film several notches up.

But NEW YORK has its share of loose ends. The film dips in the second hour. It tends to gets lengthy before it reaches a powerful, brilliantly executed climax. Also, a few sequences only add to the length of the film, which could've been curtailed in the writing stage itself.

Director Kabir Khan picks up a real incident -- innocent civilians being suspected as terrorists, soon after 9/11 -- and weaves a brilliant tale around it. The screenplay is its biggest star, without a doubt. Given the fact that NEW YORK isn't one of those routine masala fares, Kabir has injected songs only when required. Cinematography is striking.

Now here's another surprise. John, Katrina and Neil, all actors, deliver their career-best performance. If the first half belongs to Neil, John takes over the second hour completely. John is superb when he recalls the past. You can feel his pain, that effective is his performance. Also, note his expressions towards the end. This is a different John, for sure. Just one word for his performance -- fabulous!

Neil was remarkable in JOHNNY GADDAAR, but disappointed in AA DEKHEN ZARA. Fortunately, he's in top form this time around. Katrina gives you the biggest surprise. Known for her glamour roles, Katrina proves that she can deliver if the director and writer offer her a role of substance. She's outstanding. In fact, people will see a new, different Katrina this time. Irrfan is, as always, first-rate.

On the whole, NEW YORK is amongst the finest films produced by Yash Raj. At the box office, there's no stopping this one. Go for it now!

Kites to be release in December

Yes readers the latest news is coming regarding the release of "Kites" is that the movie is to be release in december. As it is be decided by Rakesh Roshan and Anurag Basu

The seeming deadlock over the release of the much-hyped Kites is now over. Producer Rakesh Roshan and director Anurag Basu have agreed on how different the English and Hindi versions of the film would be.

While the supposed steamy scenes would be the same in both versions, there would be separate voiceovers in Hindi and English, both done by Hrithik Roshan, whose love story the film chronicles in a style that would recall David Lean's Brief Encounter and K. Balachander's Ek Dujje Ke Liye.

Director Anurag Basu refutes the rumour that the steamy scenes in the two versions will be different in Hindi and English. "We can't cheat Hindi audiences. The so-called steamy scenes will be the same in both versions. The visuals will remain unchanged in both. There won't be anything radically different in the two versions because Hrithik and Barbara Mori speak English-Hindi and Spanish, respectively in both English and Hindi."

So what would make the two versions different? "The narrative, the voiceover. Hrithik Roshan will do the voiceover. In the Hindi version, Hrithik will do the voiceover in Hindi and in English, he'll do it English. That would be the basic difference between the two versions."

About being designated the director of the decade at IIFA, Rakesh Roshan says, "I'm flattered. There were other truly deserving directors in the reckoning. I must've done something right."

Jashn movie review and story

Directed by Raksha Mistry and Hasnanin Hyderabadwala who have earlier made films like THE KILLER and THE TRAIN, JASHN is looking at March 2009 release. Set on a lavish scale, the film stars Adhyayan Suman, Anjana Sukhani, Shahana Goswami and Humayun Saeed (from Pakistan) in the lead roles.

Vishesh Films' JASHN sees coming together of Indian as well as Pakistani composers for the music of the film. The film has been majorily shot in the locales of South Africa as well as India.

On every street, in every home in India, there is a nobody who wants to be a somebody. And JASHN is the story of one such nobody.

Synopsis:

Akash Verma (Adhyayan Suman) is a twenty year old Indian lad who thirsts to become a singing icon who can blaze a trail for himself among the galaxy of existing stars. But though he has dreams in his heart he has not been able to find that distinctive voice that he can call his own, that will propel him to the top. Only when he's shattered by life and unflinchingly looks the sordid truth in the face - that he is freeloading off his elder sister Nisha, (Shahana Goswani) who, in order to offer him a decent life style, has become the mistress of a rich businessman, Aman Bajaj (Humayun Sayeed); is he is able to touch his inner core.

Call it irony or twist of fate, but the person who sees him through this dark night and mentors him when he's down and out is none other than the sister of the person who he hates most in the world... Aman Bajaj. It is Sara, (Anjana Sukhani) Aman's sister, who reawakens him to his talent and shows him that the biggest crime a human being can commit is to give up on himself. What follows is a gripping tale of Akash's self discovery in the harshest winter of his life, spurred by life's bittersweet lessons, and Sara's love and support.

Kaminey Movie Posters

Kaminey Upcoming movie Storyline

Kaminey is a forthcoming Bollywood film that stars Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles.It is directed and written by Vishal Bharadwaj. The film began shooting at various locations across the country from June 18, 2008.

The movie releases on 14th August 2009

Kaminey Story

Kaminey is a story about identical twins, in early twenties, hoping to leave the squalor behind and move into a life of prosperity. But the similarity ends here. Intercut between the parallel stories of the brothers as they run to protect themselves is their dreams and their love until a point where it converges and the brothers meet to come upon a life-changing realization.

Guddu and Charlie are brothers, born and raised in Dharavi, the world’s largest slum dwelling in the heart of the megalopolis, Mumbai.

Guddu works as a trainee in a small NGO firm in the city. He hopes to climb up to the top of the corporate ladder. He wants to be a bona fide member of the burgeoning Indian middle class. His career has only just begun though and the road to bourgeoisie is both long and arduous. Yet Guddu is up for it. He is honest, diligent and careful. One defining characteristic about Guddu is that he stammers, especially when under pressure.

Charlie makes a living hedging bets at the race course. He moves around the plush hordes of the rich and famous at the races. For him this is just a way to make quick money and he dreams of becoming a legitimate bookie one day. Charlie is street smart, wily and brave–and he is a little rough around the edges, having become accustomed to street life. While Guddu stammers, Charlie has a lisp.

The brothers don’t like each other. They believe they have nothing in common. The brothers have built their lives so that they never meet. They believe it’s only a question of time before they are out of each other’s sight forever.

The story of Kaminay is how all of this changes and their paths eventually cross.

Paying guest Movie review

Before we get down to discussing whether Paying Guest, a comic caper directed by Paritosh Painter, is worth a watch this weekend in theatre or not, let’s take a look at the story.

Paying Guest revolves around four young, carefree and perky guys (Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffrey, Ashish Chowdhary and Vatsal Sheth). The four go through a series of ultra comical hurdles in attempts to find a shelter that can tolerate their combined problems. The owner Ballu (Johnny Lever) puts across a crazy condition, he would rent the place only to couples. With no other option left, these guys give in to the condition laid by the owner. The rest of the story revolves around how they manage to get their wives and tackle issues that follow.

For a director who has directed a number of theatre plays, one would think handling a comical shouldn’t be much of a problem. But on debut, Paritosh Painter seems to have got it all wrong. If you expect Paying Guest to be a fun filled ride with rib tickling sequences; you will be highly disappointed. The poor writing lets the movie down and makes it a pain to sit through after the initial sequences.

Paying Guests begins well, the first few reels are funny but just when your expectations, on actually enjoying a movie at a big screen after a real long time, rise; the movie dips to an all time low. The comedy looks forced as the director and actor struggle to make you laugh. The dialogues are lame and so is the music score by Sajid-Wajid.

When it comes to performances, the leading ladies are just pure eye candies and have nothing much to do. However Celina Jaitley and Neha Dhupia have more screen time. Amongst the rest, Shreyas Talpade stands out with his perfect comic timing. Javed Jaffery is equally competent and manages to make you laugh. Ashish Chowdhary and Vastal Seth are good. Chunkey Pandey and Inder Kumar are wasted.

Overall, Paying Guest charges you for boredom. Yet another movie this year, that deserves a skip. All hopes on Yashraj Films’ New York now, the movie releases next week!

Pritam again steals music for the 49th time

Well my sweetie pies, Juicy Mausi is little upset. When will Pritam stop being a copy cat I wonder. Every time there is a release he is there hogging the limelight, but for all the wrong reasons.

While the nation is thumping their feet along to the new hit Hai Junoon from the movie New York, we get this news of plagiarism. Music director Pritam's song being a copy of an Indonesian song has thrown everyone into a tizzy.

Of course, this is not the first time something like this has happened. Sanjay Raina, an indi-pop singer claimed ownership for the track Shikdum from Dhoom, while many other songs other parts of the world such as from Pakistani singer Waris Baig, yesteryear band Boney M have also been copied. Tu Jo nahi from Woh Lamhe was taken from SB John's song of the same name, but Pritam has claimed to "recreate" it.

Last heard, the info about Hai Junoon being allegedly plagiarised was revealed by Pankaj Awasthi, another music director. Awasthi is one of the composers of the soundtrack for New York, too.

Apparently, a day before the music of the film was released; Awasthi posted a comment on the youtube.com link for the Samsons' song Naluri Lelaki. He wrote that the song had been copied by a big film which will make millions. But to my surprise, when I checked the site now, the comment has been taken off.

All we can do is wait for what Pritam has to say now.

Kal Kisne Dekha Movie Review

So after a long time a movie released on which the people show some interest, lets read out what the movie is all about. Come on, you can't really expect to discuss Kal Kissne Dekha as if it was an actual film, can you? Please. This is nothing but showreel in cinema's clothing, a heavily-budgeted demo film to someday take as an audition tape to real filmmakers. That is the only way to explain how it introduces us to the affectedly, moronically 'nice' Jackky Bhagnani, and goes on to show us how he can dance, fight, ride bikes and, a staple for any wannabe star, bask in sunlight draped in cardigans with his arms raised a la Shah Rukh Khan. There's also a girl, Vaishali Desai, whose showreel is intended to net her a shampoo commercial. This would be the only plausible reason for the way she presumably heads to a beauty salon before college, a new hairdo every single morning. Wow. She also tries -- but only the littlest possible extent -- to actually have something similar to what is called a character graph, which means she goes from being snooty to chirpy to scared as the 'film' carries on. VaishaliDon't get me wrong, I have nothing against Jackky or Vaishali, who may well be pleasant enough kids on their ownsome. It's just that they, the poor little rich darlings, happen to have been born into film families, which these days means that -- after daddy buys them a sportscar and a horse and holidays around the world -- he must also buy them a pretty little launch vehicle, hoardings with their faces on it and a cartload of hype. It's unfair to the kids, who, based on what has released in theatres today, clearly have no business being lead actors of a movie. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. KKD is about a kid who can look into the future, and about all the movies Jackky presumably likes, chief among them Main Hoon Na. Along the way, the wannabe star-launch tragically impacts a wasted Ritesh Deshmukh and Rahul Dev, a pretty decent baddie who by now must be tired of soothsaying heroes. And then there's Rishi Kapoor , who actually lets the mask slip and grins during the climax, knowing that this is one of the most embarrassing projects he's been in for a while. Kal Kissne Dekha is one of those films that won't suffer at all from bad word of mouth. Those who've watched it aren't likely to admit it in public, is all.

Kambakht Ishq all set to Release on 3rd July

The feeling of joy was felt in the air. It was celebration time and that was pretty apparent at Kambakkat Ishq’s press conference held at Taj Land’s End Bandra. A trade analyst present at the event said, “It as double bonanza! The first good news was that the United Producers Forum and Multiplex Assocation strike was called off. And the second one was to announce the release of the the much eagerly awaited and looked forward to film– Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakkt Ishq.” KI hits the theatres on 3rd July.

“It was celebration time, no doubt,” added the trade pundit. The trade analyst added, “There will be three releases every Friday. And Kambakkt Ishq is going to be one of the first big budget films to hit the theatres this year. The film has all the masala that go to make the film a hit.”

Shot on exotic locales in Los Angeles, Italy and Venice, with good dose of scene shot in world’s famous Hollywood studiothe film marks a historical moment for Indian cinema.

Lead stars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor made it a point to be present on the occassion. Akshay, who was shooting in Karjat, flew down in a chopper to make it on time to the press conference, while Kareena cut her shooting short at Mehboob studios to share at length information about the film to the media. Kambakkt Ishq is also the first film to have Hollywood stars like Slyvester Stallone, Brandon Routh, Denise Richards are Hollywood stars making their presence felt in Bollywood.

Kambakkt Ishq also boasts of heart stopping stunts and action sequences created by top Hollywood stunt directors. The interesting incidents and events that have occured during the filmming of Kambakkt Ishq can be a book in itself.

“The sheer grandeur and extravangza that have gone to make Kambakkt Ishq is a matter a pride for any filmmaker,” said a trade pundit. -Sampurn Media

Emraan ready to back again with "Tum Mile"

Yes readers thats right Emraan Hasmi is ready to dazzle you again with his new movie "Tum Mile" which is to be releasing soon in few months. Last movie of Emraan "Raaz" is a hit and now he has more expectations from "Tum Mile". The Tentative date for the releasing of "Tum Mile" will be 24th July.

Movies inspired by real events always seem to interest the audience. However these are the kind of movies that are even more difficult to produce as often one has to reproduce a part of the calamity or go in for major graphic enhancements. At the same time, a number of movies with the same theme may release, so audience may be divided during the competition. Also, the audience may not always appreciate this genre of cinema. Yet we see directors going in for this kind of cinema with verve and passion and more often than not, it pays off.

One of these kinds of movies is based on the Mumbai flood from 4 years ago, called Tum Mile. A production by Vishesh films and starring the talented Emraan Hashmi, the film is scheduled strategically to release on the 24th of July. Directed by Kunal Dehmukh of Jannat fame, audience is waiting for this release excitedly.

Vishesh films seems to be doing very well with Emraan Hashmi producing great hits. Raaz, the first and probably only hit of 2009 so far should give them great confidence to go on. Also, this film is special in the way that it marks the joining up with Pritam again after a number of previous hits. However they should have no reason to worry, as regardless of whether the movie is a hit or not, any movie with Emraan Hashmi always has hit music. One of those unsolved mysteries of bollywood.

Another movie “26th July at Barista” released last year with some newcomers. However, it was hardly heard of, and the crew of Tum Mile does not seem to be too worried about the release of the other movie. Starring opposite Soha Ali Khan, Emraan was pretty fascinated with the sets for the movie, saying , “You should have been on the sets to believe it”, says Emraan Hashmi, “Water level there was scary enough to actually drown people. Kunal (Deshmukh) wanted the situation to be an exact replica of the horrific flood situation that the city faced that fateful night. It was difficult to even imagine how commuters would have struggled with no support whatsoever.”

Though much news about the story of the movie has not been let out, it is believed that the movie is about how Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan are trapped during that fateful night. All the very best again to Vishesh Films!

Bollywood strike ends, films to release from next weeK

Aamir Khan Finally, the two-month long drought at the theatres is about to end as the producers/distributors and the multiplexes have reached an agreement over revenue sharing.

The standoff over the profit sharing ratios ended late on Thursday night after a 12-hour long meeting at Yashraj Studios between the exhibitors (multiplexes) and producers.

The strike began on April 4 by Bollywood producers who alleged that they stand to lose from the increasing demands of multiplexes for a larger chunk in the profits. The film industry stood united in strike and even big stars like Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan (who are producers as well) came out in full support of the producers’ demand.


Now, after two months of negotiations and failed talks, the impasse is broken and an agreement has finally been reached.

President of the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) Mukesh Bhatt has confirmed this to a news network. However, the official confirmation of the new profit sharing ratios is still awaited.

The top national multiplex chains in India are PVR, Big, Inox, Fame, Cinemax and Fun.

With the ending of the strike, new Bollywood movies will begin releasing from next week onward.

Kal Kissne Dekha , introducing Jackky Bhagnani and Vaishali Desai , is set to release on June 12.

His debut was Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na with Genelia D’Souza, in early 2008 that released amidst a lot of fanfare. The film was produced by his uncles Aamir Khan and Mansoor Khan.
