Director Shankar has fans in non-Tamil speaking territories as well. Of course, the filmmaker’s previous films dubbed in Telugu and Hindi have made him popular in Telugu and Hindi film industries. His Tamil movie Indian dubbed as Hindustani and Anniyan as Aparachit in Hindi. Now, witnessing the grand success of Robot (Hindi version of Superstar Rajinikanth’s Endhiran), his blockbuster Boys is likely to be dubbed in Hindi.
The news has been revealed by the closer sources of producer of Sri Suriya Movies that he has already started working on dubbing process. It is said that filmmaker Abbas Tyrewala will take care of Hindi lyrics and dialogues. It is worth mentioning that Abbas shares a good rapport with A.R. Rahman as the duo has worked in couple of films that include Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Jhootha Hi Sahi.
Hindi audience are quite familiar with the Boys lead stars Siddarth and Genelia D’ Souza, as they have done some notable films in Bollywood. Sid has been a part of successful movies like Rang De Basanthi and Striker. Genelia's notable films are Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Chance Pe Dance, etc
The best thing to do would be to head to the local video store, get a DVD of The Bucket List, and watch the infinitely better done version in the quite confines of your living room.
Saji Surendran's Four Friends has been clearly inspired by the emotional Hollywood tearjerker The Bucket List, and instead of two friends in the original talks of four friends who go on a final journey before they kick the bucket.
Jayaram gets to play Roy, the desi version of Jack Nicholson's Edward Cole, a multimillionaire who takes a man (Morgan Freeman) whom he befriended at a cancer care center on a world trip. Krishna Poojappura has substituted Morgan with three characters, Soorya (Kunchacko Boban), Amir (Jayasurya) and Gouri (Meera Jasmine).
The four friends plan a trip to Malaysia in Saji Surendran's film, since the Hollywood film journey that takes the pair along different countries like France, Egypt and finally India must have sounded slightly unrealistic, budget wise. What follows though, is pretty much the same and they age a battle emotions and family ties along with the much dreaded illness.
The Bucket List is a delightful watch, I'm sure many of you would agree. There are quite a few things that make the film dear to the viewer, the major one being that though it deals with a theme that runs the danger of slipping into melodrama, it very seldom does. There are plenty of hilarious moments in the sad film, and thanks to the leading pair's amazing chemistry the film has made it to the favorites list of quite a few.
Four Friends on the other hand has nothing of the emotional power or depth that The Bucket List has. On the contrary, it appears to be a tear wrench of a film that is on the look out for sequences that have a theatrical flavor to them. But the final point is that there are very few of these story strings that would move us and instead take us back to an age and time when films that talked of disease and the inevitable end that lies in wait were received with much interest.
I can very easily pick the only two reasons for you to watch the film. The first one is the very effectively used cameo performance in the film by Kamal Hassan. It is undoubtedly the best part of the film, not on account of Kamal's star power or charisma, but because it presents him as a very down to earth individual who talks to us as to how the mind dictates to the disease. The dialogues that are quite realistic, draws examples from real life, and the results are real good.
The second reason is Jayasurya. This is an actor who has been experimenting not merely with looks in one film after the other, but also shows a great dedication to the roles that he gets to play. Of the four friends, there is only one character that you would identify with, and that is Amir. And without doubt, this is courtesy a rollicking performance by Jayasurya who turns out to be the life saver in this film.
Apart from the above mentioned reasons, Four Friends might be a real disappointment. The best thing to do would be to head to the local video store, get a DVD of The Bucket List, and watch the infinitely better done version in the quite confines of your living room.

There was a time when Indians formed serpent queues in front of the B.O burrow, just to see their favourite heroine do a blink-and-miss shot in bikini. Gone are those days! The first decade of the millennium has been for Bollywood what the 60s had been for Hollywood: a space in time to assert oneself, and to break away from conventional norms of morality.
In this decade, almost all the leading men and ladies of Bollywood vied with each other to redefine erotica. The result: 1. Some graceful/gross "love scenes". 2. A star with the nickname, Serial Kisser!!
'Murder': Kisser Instinct!
India's moment of reckoning finally arrived after centuries of repression when with the release of 'Murder', the legend of the Serial Kisser was born.
Hashmi's barbaric moves made the legendary Dr.Hannibal Lecter seem like a juvenile delinquent in comparison. Hashmi's modus operandi was simple - when seduction fails, resort to terror. And if the Bhatts are to be believed, it works!
'Aashiq Banaya Apne': Hashmi's Nemesis!
The serial kisser gets the shock of his life in this role reversal sequence. He finds himself at the receiving end of it as an empowered Tanushree Dutta asserts herself, but recovers with characteristic swagger and breaks into a robotic munching rhythm. Himesh's nasal humming fits into the scene uncannily as both lovers struggle for breath.
'Dhoom 2': Ash-en Cold!
It was like a unilateral cease-fire declaration in the Gaza strip. It would take more than an ice cold response from Ash to deter a relentless Hrithik in a Satyaraj (the assault king of south Indian cinema) kind of mood.
'Kurbaan': Wah! Nawab!
Saif Ali Khan blends his Winchester College temperament and cosmopolitan ethos into the art and craft of pecking, while making Bebo's earlier MMS outing with SKR seem in comparison, rather ... er, to be blunt, on the unhygienic side.
'Khwaish': 'Kiss'matwali!
Mallika Sherawat doing the coy Bharatiya Nari act.
Sherawat: "Oh please don't do this. My head is spinning. I feel scared. Give me a second, I need to think. Oh, please don't"
Lover boy (who couldn't care less): "Alright whatever".
Sherawat (now realizing that she had overdone the act): "Wait, maybe I am feeling so scared because I like it so much".
Audience: Cut the crap please, just do it!
'The Train': Chumban Express!
This is the Copenhagen of all kissing scenes. A diplomatic gridlock ensues when Hashmi and Geeta Basra get at it in a deadly embrace and take the emotional plunge from this running (irony intended) train.
'Kyun Ho Gaya Na': Kiss and Run!
Aishwarya Rai's domestic policy has always centered around a principled objection to foreign intrusion. Hence the pseudo smack. So skillfully shot by director Samir Karnik, bet you a hundred bucks that you will be left wondering if Ash really did it or did not!
'Nishabd': Jiah, Chumma De De!
Question - What ensues when a piping hot Jiah Khan gets into a comfy corner with the legendary sexagenarian?
Answer - A politically correct kiss.
For those of you who missed this sequence, rest assured that you didn't miss much!
'Guru': Torrential Smooch!
You might have kissed.. you might have cried.. you might have laughed.. you might even have sat on a scenic ocean front drive for no apparent reason, with the rain beating down on your face. But if you have never tried doing all of the above and all at the same time, watch Vidya Balan show you how. That's Mani Ratnam for you!
'Sins': India Shiney-ing!!
The sequences in this movie might seem to be performed by an untrained un-professional, and it's indeed not for the faint of heart. And if some of these scenes bear an uncanny resemblance to real life incidents (read Ahuja house maid scandal) it is merely coincidental.
Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Hassan makes a comeback in Mollywood with a cameo in 'Four Friends'.
Directed by Saji Surendran, the movie stars Jayaram, Jayasurya, Kunchacko Boban and Meera Jasmine.
