Unlike Priyan's previous fun-loving outings, which boasted of catchy ditties, the soundtrack of Mere Baap Pehle Aap by Vidyasagar, is nothing to write home about.
Veteran actor Om Puri has been appointed as the chairman of the National Films Division Corporation. He will formally take charge on April 23, after holding a press conference.
What differentiates an original from a remake is class. And Priadarshan's latest offering, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, fails completely to match up to the Malayalam original.

We have all heard about Shah Rukh Khan's new film, Billo Barber, to be directed by Priyadarshan. The director dips into the pool of Malayalam cinema for inspiration once again. This time, he picks last year's hit, Kadha Parayumbol, starring Sreenivasan and Mammootty.
Produced by Shah Rukh Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner, Billo Barber is rumoured to be the story of Lord Krishna and his best friend Sudama. Shah Rukh will play Krishna whereas Irrfan Khan will play Sudama. But the film is set in modern times. Amisha was offered a small but vital role as Irrfan's wife in the film. But she opted out because she felt the role was too insignificant.
Shah Rukh was extremely impressed when Aamir took a backseat in his directorial debut, Taare Zameen Par, and gave the brilliant child actor, Darsheel Safary, more screen space. Aamir has done it before in his earlier blockbuster, Rang De Basanti, where South Indian actor Siddharth got equal footage as the star.
Even though Amisha Patel is paired opposite the main lead Akshay Kumar in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, she has been elbowed to the back row by Vidya Balan

The latest updates from the Malayalam film industry.
The film starts off like a B-grade version of Basu Chatterjee's Shaukeen, changes into a crazy game of Chinese Whispers, develops into a feel-good tale of a father-son and his fun-loving girlfriend, detours to do some heavy-duty Kerala tourism only to drastically meander into a old-fashioned social melodrama followed by a proverbial 'kahani mein twist'.
It is an enjoyable album which tempts you to press the rewind button.
A Nedumudi Venu character was happiest when moving his head to a piece of music with his eyes closed; or, when inventing off of a note that a co-actor had left unfinished; or, when reciting a poem by Kavalam Narayana Panicker where a hymn about nature descends into a musing about cheating, depression and death, feels Sreehari Nair.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa does good business in USA and UK, while Laaga Chunari Mein Daag flops.
