Thrills, romance and porn – Bollywood's Friday spread

Three films with very different themes will hit the theatres on Friday. One is a thriller, another a youthful romance, and the third, a flick exposing the porn industry.

After a spate of comedies in the last few weeks, this Friday brings in some variety.

For, releasing on the same day would be Apoorva Lakhia’s Ek Ajnabee, Yash Raj banner’s Neal ‘N’ Nikki and Mahesh Bhatt-presented Kalyug.

Even though the main star of Ek Ajnabee , Amitabh Bachchan , is recuperating in a Mumbai hospital, the movie would hit the theatres on December 9. However, there would be no lavish premiere of the film.

The movie, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Bunty Walia, also stars Arjun Rampal , Perizaad Zorabian , Vikram Chatwal and Baby Rucha Vaidya.

In the film, Bachchan plays a misfit who takes on the task of protecting a young girl (Baby Rucha Vaidya) who is a target of the kidnappers because of her rich and influential parents (Vikram Chatwal and Perizaad Zorabian).

One highlight of the movie is that Amitabh himself did all the action scenes in the film. There was no body double, no short cuts, just the actor and the danger zone.

Another highlight is the friendly appearances by Sanjay Dutt , Abhishek Bachchan and Lara Dutta .

While Ek Ajnabee promises lots of thrills, Yash Raj’s Neal 'N' Nikki is a youthful romance about two very unlikely individuals falling in love.

The film has Uday Chopra playing the lead role of Neal, while Tanishaa (Kajol’s younger sister) plays Nikki. As the movie’s story goes, Neal wants to enjoy his bachelorhood before he gets married to the girl of his parents’ choice. So, he goes to Vancouver on a 21-day bachelor vacation. But the first few days of his vacation are ruined, thanks to Nikki, a sprightly girl who somehow ends up spoiling all of Neal’s dates. Then the two call it a truce. As the two explore the Canadian countryside, Neal and Nikki exchange life stories, and love develops between them gradually.

The main highlight of the movie is its youthful subject and its music. The film also has Uday and Tanishaa locking lips about 21 times before the camera. Another highlight is the story’s setting – the stunning landscape of British Columbia in Canada.

And if you don’t want thrills or romance, there is titillation promised in director Mohit Suri’s Kalyug , a movie with a highly provocative theme and a story that stretches the human morality to limits.

However, Kalyug is not a porn movie, but a movie that exposes the multi-billion dollar porn industry and its workings.

The movie stars Deepal Shaw as an earthquake victim who is sold into the porn industry and goes on to become a topnotch porn star. Emraan Hashmi plays the owner of a sex shop in Amsterdam. Amrita Singh plays an influential woman who runs an international porn racket. Newcomers Kunal Khemu and Smiley play a honeymooning couple who are videotaped by the hotel staff.

Many parts of Kalyug have been shot at bizarre places like fetish shops and sex streets in Zurich.
