		Vidhu Vinod has so far reasonably successful in his way of running the main story with a parallel story running in background, which is also equally significant.
		Vidhu portrayed a love story with the Indian war of independence as the background and he meshed both the stories so well that movie could certainly be categorized as classic.
		It will really be interesting to see whether Vidhu Vinod Chopra, rises up to what he has said, that the movie is not aimed at cashing on the umpteen times fried formula of Hindu - Muslim and the most recently evolved formula in bollywood of Kargil war.

	Parineeta, The Movie
		The world premiere film of this year’s IIFA Awards, director Pradeep Sarkar and writer-producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s celluloid adaptation of the Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay classic Parineeta, was shown at all the six screens of the heritage theatre at the Amsterdam Centre to a standing ovation.
		What started out as Chopra’s tribute to his “favourite author Saratbabu” and his film-school teacher Ritwik Ghatak turned into a visual showcase of Calcutta of the 1960s with the storyline — sticking strictly to the original novel — a parallel narrative of the turbulent times the city was going through.
		Chopra doesn’t deny the fact that he could have shot the film in Mumbai.

		For Vidhu Vinod Chopra, regarded as among the better filmmakes in the country, it is essential that Mission Kashmir succeeds both commercially and critically.
		However Vinod does have a strong script writing team in Mission Kashmir which includes novelist Vikram Chandra for whom the story of the film grew out of stories he had heard on research trips to Kashmir, Jammu and Punjab in June 1998.

		So keep your eyes open and ears strained for the special sights and sounds of some of those interesting ‘firsts’ that are likely to change things around a little in the Mumbai movie industry in the year 2006.
		Chopra’s Eklavya, which is scheduled to hit the screens in the second half of 2006, could represent another major triumph for the actor in Amitabh, an entity that is rarely allowed to go the whole hog in the run-of-the-mill NRI romances, father-son dramas and unimaginative action flicks that the megastar is usually trapped in.
		In her first film since K3G, Fanaah, produced by Yash Chopra and directed by Kunal Kohli, the talented actress will be seen opposite Aamir Khan, which is another first that could yield a surefire box office and creative winner.

	dOc DVD Review: Mission Kashmir (2000) - Printable
		Director Vidhu Vinod Chopra is one of the bigger names in India's film community, and he has even crossed international boundaries by helming the first Indian film (An Encounter With Faces) to be nominated for an Oscar® in the short nonfiction film category.
		What separates not only Chopra's film, but "Bollywood" projects in general, from mainstream Hollywood fare, is the completely unexpected and uncharacteristic musical segments that pepper the action.
		Chopra's terrorist-themed action/love story film is at times familiar, and at others remarkably alien, at least to our Bruckheimer/Bay-sanitized eyes.

		Chopra continues to control the producer's seat, giving chance to his erstwhile assistants to handle the director's hat.
		Chopra claimed that the film went over-budget because the technicians in Bengal were not co-operating with the Mumbai film unit.
		The technicians were overcharging for their services as it's a Hindi film and this had raised the budget of the film to around two and half times of the initially planned budget.

	dOc DVD Review: Mission Kashmir (2000)
		Set in the Kashmir region of India, Chopra tells the story of Inayat Khan (Sanjay Dutt), a local police officer who leads a raid on the suspected hideout of deadly terrorist Malik Ul Khan (Puru Rajkumar).
		Chopra then advances the story ten years, and we find Altaaf (the too-good-looking-to-be-a-terrorist Hrithik Roshan) willingly serving under a darkly over-the-top Muslim terrorist known as Hilal (Jackie Shroff), a man who literally has to hold his own head on.
		Main characters will break into song when you least expect it, and many of the sequences are as slickly produced as a music video; witness the incredibly hypnotic Bhumbro scene, lip-synched by the stunning Preity Zinta, which becomes a swirling tapestry of bright colors, beautiful people and a percussion-heavy dance beat.

		How close could "Kareeb" be to the brilliant scores of Rahul Dev Burman for Vidhu Vinod Chopra's previous two movies Parinda and 1942 A Love Story.
		The music though perhaps inspired, the lyrics, the singing, are near the heights of Kareeb.
		In essence, Kareeb is close to being the album of the year, but yet it is far from the standards set by 1942, R D Burman and Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

	Why Vidhu Vinod Chopra thinks he is great

		There is Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which I liked but I cannot make that movie.
		That means I, The Vidhu Vinod Chopra, am not alone in saying this.

		Vidhu had earlier extracted some good music from Anu Malik for his Kareeb, which didn't do well at the box office.
		In Mission Kashmir, he's again trying to fill the R D Burman void; Pancham's catchy scores for Parinda and 1942 A Love Story -- Vidhu's earlier movies -- must still be going around in his head.
		A couple of things about Mission Kashmir: Vidhu Vinod Chopra still has to find an able replacement for R D Burman, who used to contribute immensely to his storylines.

		This is the reason Vidhu Vinod Chopra placed the story in the vibrant Calcutta of 1960's even though Sarat Babu's novel was placed in 1914.
		Vidhu Vinod Chopra and his team read between lines to enhance all characters and give them a life of their own, thus creating a rare narrative that transcends the boundaries of time, space and locales.
		This powerful love story resonates with eager audiences as much today as when it was first published in the early 20th Century, thanks to the meticulous cinematic adaptation by Vinod Chopra.
