To actually enjoy ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, you have to be able to believe that Rani Mukerjee can pass off as a turbaned, bearded and mustachioed young Sardar whose only ambition in life is to play for the Indian cricket team. Can’t do it? The exit’s that way. For those that can suspend disbelief, here’s yet another Yashraj film which cobbles together bits and pieces from its past hits. ‘Sarson ke khet’? Check. NRI ‘munda’ finding his ‘dulhaniya’ in ‘sadda pind’? Check. Indo-Pak ‘bhaichara’? `Oye’, right here ‘ji’. The cricket-mad Punjabi ‘kudi’ is simply not new enough: basically, `Dil Bole’ is same-old from the House of Yash.

Cast: Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia, Mahesh Manjrekar, Vinod Khanna

Director: Prabhudeva

Will this turn out to be Salman Khan’s ‘Ghajini’? That’s been the buzz on ‘Wanted’, in which Salman plays a guy who kills ruthlessly, and loves carelessly. For the Khan who’s lately only been playing the singing-dancing jokester, his new film is meant to re-unite him with his action hero image. Here, he even calls himself Radhe, his name in his last super-hit, the super-violent ‘Tere Naam’.
