No chocolates for Hrehaan: Hrithik

Hrithik Roshan is a strict dad as far as his son's diet goes. Little Hrehaan, who turned two recently, is not allowed to indulge in chocolates.

But on his birthday last month, he was given a real treat - chocolate cake, something he's kept away from usually.

Said Hrithik: "He can have all kinds of cake...except chocolate. I feel his body doesn't need it for the first few years. Actually you don't need chocolate at all at any stage of your life. It just displaces your hunger for proper food. That really bothers me. The moment a child has a chocolate he grows addicted.

"As it is, from the time he (Hrehaan) has a life of his own with his friends he'll have all the access to chocolate. Believe me I know."

So is Hrithik a strict father?

"Only as far as Hrehaan's diet is concerned. As a child I ate the wrong kind of food. In my later years I really had to clean myself up. It was really tough, and I don't want Hrehaan to go through it. So I'm conditioning him to do the right thing from the start," the protective dad said.

Chocolaty indulgence apart, Hrehaan's second birthday was big fun for the birthday boy and his father.

"We had a nice little party in one of the clubs in Juhu. Sussanne organised everything to the last detail. All of Hrehaan's friends were there. We did the usual fun things, like a magic show and an air castle for them to jump around, there was a mini-train and lots and lots of balloons. But Hrehaan was most excited about the chocolate cake."

Hrehaan has something else to look forward to. He will have a little sibling by the first week of May.

Hrithik said: "I'm really looking forward it. Fatherhood will be equally beautiful the second time around. It cannot be any other way."

Why should you simply adore Hrithik in ‘Krazzy 4’?

The star has proved that he is jut not a great actor, but also one of the best dancers that Bollywood has ever had, and once again it was a treat to watch Hrithik, who was simply superb when he wore his dancing shoes, this time for home production ‘Krazzy 4’.



While shooting for the song, Hrithik was in severe pain as the actor is still recuperating from his knee injury. The talented actor continued with his rehearsal and based on sources close to the production, Hrithik would elevate his foot during breaks to temporarily relieve his severe knee pain.



Choreographer Ganesh Acharya was sure impressed with Hrithik’s determination as the actor simply went with the flow and delivered one of his best performances. Besides, Hrithik did not quite call it a day for the song shoot, but instead decided to keep himself busy with song editing as he wanted to ensure that he is portrayed as a never seen before phenomenon.



After the song officially released, Hrithik was busy planning his son Hrehaan’s birthday party and he picked the theme of ‘Finding Nemo’. Now, we are sure the kids would have been happier if the birthday theme was ‘Krrish’.

Crazy Krazy 4

KRAZY 4 WAS in controversy before its release, not because of its content, but the literal music over its music! Ram Sampat (jingle composer) accused the Roshans of plagiarism. However, the buzz in the filmi circles is that how can Sampat accuse Roshans when he himself lifted the opening music piece from Requiem for a Dream for a Tata Safari ad and quite interestingly got an Abby too for his ‘original’ work!

Krazy 4 tells the story of four not so ‘khush’ guys in a mental hospital in Khandala – Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon, Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan – each suffers from a mental disorder quite distinct from the other. While Yadav lost it penning a book on freedom struggle, apparently, stuck in a time warp, Menon’s back-story tells the viewers that he was orphaned at an early age and is in the hospital ever since he was four. Warsi suffers from uncontrollable anger and Khan has got a fetish for cleanliness.

Their doctor, Juhi Chawla, wants them to be a part of the ‘normal’ society, and as an exercise, takes them to Mumbai. Once in Mumbai, things sharply take a drastic turn.

Chawla goes to fetch papers from her clinic and is kidnapped by Zakir Hussain. Menon witnesses the crime, but since he has a disorder of speech, he can’t communicate about the kidnapping to the other bunch of Krazy 4.

Why is Chawla kidnapped? Why would a gangster kidnap a mental-doctor? Is the kidnapper really a gangster? Will the Krazy 4 save Chawla from the baddies? All these questions form the narrative and the climax of the film.

The point is the film, though with its fair share of moments, doesn’t have meat enough to sustain viewers for even two hours. The songs could have easily done away with, particularly the Rakhi Sawant song and the car-song with Chawla and the gang.

The few scenes that work are:

The scene where Warsi meets Dia Mirza’s father in the flashback.

The scene where Warsi meets Mirza’s father and fiancé in the present (watch out for the timing of Kenny Desai and Ashwin Mushran, amazing!).

Yadav falling at the feet of an actor attired as Mahatma Gandhi and the actor slapping him on both the cheeks and Yadav quipping, “Baapu aur hinsaa?”

Of the cast, the best act comes from Yadav and Warsi. Khan is fine, but Menon is wasted, a part reason could be that he has no dialogues. Chawla and Mirza hardly have a role to take note. Rajat Kapoor, cast as Chawla’s husband, is fit for the part.

Director, Jaideep Sen, has handled a couple of sequences well; however, climax seems to be a bit too slack.

The break-free song has two versions: shot on Shahrukh Khan and on Hrithik Roshan and no points for guessing it’s Roshan’s act that gets the thunderous applause. A girl of five (may be six!) gleefully gave the byte to electronic media on being asked, “Who is the kraziest of the four?”

“Roshan,” pat came the reply. The film at the best is an average fare for the audiences.
