Decades
ago,
Manmohan
Desai
is
said
to
have
quoted
that
for
a
commercial
masala
flick
to
work,
there
should
be
at
least
one
highlight
on
screen
every
10
minutes.
Given
the
fact
that
movies
in
that
era
were
3
hours
long,
it
comes
to
around
20
highlight
sequences
in
the
entire
run
of
the
film.
Circa
2010
and
Farah
Khan
is
pretty
much
following
the
same
adage
with
Tees
Maar
Khan
which
releases
this
Christmas.
No
wonder,
Farah
doesn't
mind
getting
more
'highlight
sequences'
in
the
film
that
fetch
headlines
before
the
theatrical
release
itself.
"What
could
be
the
other
way
to
describe
the
coming
in
of
Anil
Kapoor
and
Twinkle
Khanna
in
Tees
Maar
Khan," questions
an
observer,
"The
very
fact
that
Akshay
Kumar
and
Twinkle
Khanna
are
sharing
the
stage
again
after
years
was
enough
for
media
and
audience
to
go
into
frenzy.
The
sequence
may
last
just
for
a
minute
but
the
fact
that
we
are
talking
about
it
makes
it
highlight
worthy."
"Also,
the
pulling
in
of
Anil
Kapoor
for
an
award
ceremony
sequence
was
a
master
stroke," he
continues,
"Audience
still
relate
to
him
as
the
Slumdog
Millionaire
star
and
since
he
doesn't
mind
taking
a
dig
at
himself,
his
appearance
in
the
sequence
doesn't
appear
misplaced
at
all."
Other
than
Anil
Kapoor
and
Twinkle
Khanna,
now
Farah
has
also
roped
in
Sanjay
Dutt
to
do
a
special
voiceover
for
Tees
Maar
Khan.
And
the
master
stroke
comes
in
the
form
of
Salman
Khan's
entry
into
the
film's
narrative
with
the
special
song
'Wallah
Wallah'.
Continues
the
observer,
"This
is
pretty
much
a
fact
that
the
on-off
real
life
'jodi'
of
Salman-Katrina
is
anyways
expected
to
make
headlines,
more
so
when
they
appear
on
the
big
screen.
Given
her
penchant
for
making
item
sequences
larger
than
life,
as
was
evidenced
in
her
'31
stars
on
a
single
set'
song
'Deewangee'
[Om
Shanti
Om],
Farah
is
said
to
have
outclassed
her
own
earlier
effort
and
woven
magic
once
again
with
this
qawalli.
To
add
to
all
the
fun,
Farah
is
now
also
ready
with
the
promotional
music
video
of
Tees
Maar
Khan
which
features
the
trio
of
Akshay
Kumar,
Katrina
Kaif
and
Akshaye
Khanna.
Promises
Farah,
"The
song's
shoot
is
through
and
you
can't
imagine
the
kind
of
madness
which
was
prevalent
over
there.
While
with
Salman,
Akshay
and
Katrina,
the
qawalli
had
gone
into
a
different
league
altogether,
the
promotional
music
video
with
Akshay,
Katrina
and
Akshaye
has
turned
out
to
be
really
funny
as
well."
This
doesn't
quite
sound
like
a
tall
claim
because
Farah
said
this
earlier
for
'Tumse
Milke
Dil
Ka
Hai
Jo
Haal'
[Main
Hoon
Naa]
as
well
and
the
results
were
there
for
all
to
see.
Now
that
she
is
getting
into
a
'dhamaal'
zone
with
yet
another
item
sequence
as
Katrina
Kaif
gets
into
the
garb
of
Paakeezah,
she
can
be
trusted
to
deliver
the
goods.
Meanwhile,
Farah
is
not
just
resting
yet.
"I
can't
believe
that
just
a
couple
of
more
months
remain
for
the
film
to
hit
the
screens.
I
am
now
neck
deep
in
getting
the
theatrical
promo
right",
she
says.
Do
a
good
job
here
lady,
we
are
ready
to
wait.
