Valentine’s Day has come and gone but love is in the air. YR Films have released Romantics a four-part documentary on the making of YR Films. How sad that only one part is on Yash Chopra and three parts about Aditya Chopra. Also, many significant artists who contributed to the banner are missing like Mumtaz, Raakhee, Sharmila Tagore, Waheeda Rehman, Rekha to name a few. None of the old lyricists or cinematographers feature in the film either. Missed Javed Akhtar though Salim Khan is there but not for long. Salman, Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan appears for a very short while.
Pan India has released a romantic number ‘Naiyo Ladga…’, sung by Kamaal Khan and Palak Muchhal and shot in exotic locations of Leh and Ladakh featuring Pooja Hegde and Salman Khan from Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Directed by Farhad Samji the film also stars Shehnaaz Gill and Bhumika Chawla and Vijender Singh. There is a third picture and though it is not exactly a Valentine presentation, it is interesting because it is of a very candid Aamir Khan dressed in a mundu sharing a joke with South superstar Prithvi Sukumaran. Is this an indication of a joint collaboration?
