Oh, what would life be if it weren’t for the colourful and feel-good Bollywood movies to entertain our lazy Saturday afternoons? Well fret not all Hindi movie lovers because this month, TV3 is proud to bring you four exceptional movies for Panggung Sabtu; “Phir Milenge”, “Aanken”, “Hera Pheri” and “Nailak”.
According to Pn. Nurul Aini Abu bakar, TV3 General Manager of Brand Management,
“Stepping away from the normal cheesy and over-the-top romance cliché, viewers can expect a darker and more realistic theme in this month’s movie selections. Bollywood is an industry that is going through a transition phase in which filmmakers are daring to be different and exploring taboo and untouched subjects. Thanks to this new evolution, Bollywood has set new milestones with films that defy stereotypes and blend quality and entertainment in innovative ways. I believe that viewers will be able to identify and relate to the new elements from the four movies that will grace this April’s Panggung Sabtu.”
Catch your favourite Hindi stars such as Shilpa Shetty, Salman Khan, Abishek Bachan, Amitabh Bachan, Arjun Rampal, Sushmita Sen, Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Bipasha Pasu and many others every Saturday afternoon this month, starting April 5th with mega movie “Phir Milenge”.

Aanken (12 April 2008)
Undoubtedly one of the highest grossing Bollywood flicks for 2002, Aanken is a modern thriller which will have the audience grasped to their seat right until the very end. The premise of the film revolves around Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan), a man who has devoted his entire life to the bank he has worked at. Vijay is known to have a case of schizophrenia and at times can be very unpredictable and violent. One day he sees a cashier robbing an old time client of 100 rupees and beats that cashier black and blue. As a result, Vijay loses his job!
Overpowered by anger, Vijay decides to rob the bank he has worked in for so many years. He blackmails Neha (Sushmita Sen), a teacher for the blind, to train three individuals whom he has handpicked to help him with the robbery. The three blind men who he picks are Vishwas Prajapati (Akshay Kumar), Arjun Verma (Arjun Ramphal) and Ilias (Paresh Rawal). All three are unique in their own way and possess some sort of skill or charm, which will help him succeed in his mission.
After undergoing vigorous training, the day finally arrives when the three do rob the bank. However, things go haywire after the robbery and the dangerous game actually begins then. What happens next?
Cast: Amitabh Bachan, Sushmita Sen, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal
Hera Pheri (19 April 2008)
Hera Pheri revolves around three ordinary people — Shyam (Sunil Shetty), Raju (Akshay Kumar) and Bapu Rao (Paresh Rawal). Shyam comes to the city seeking a job in the same bank his father worked in and finds himself competing with Anuradha (Tabu) for it.
He gets accommodation in Rao’s house. Rao is a large hearted, debt-stricken alcoholic who owns a garage. Raju also happens to stay with Rawal. His mother is under the illusion that he is a wealthy businessman in Calcutta, not realising that her son does odd jobs and stays in the same city of Bombay.
Anuradha, who has to support her ailing mother and siblings, is also struggling to make ends meet. Seeing her plight, Shyam magnanimously lets her take up the job he was in line for. Bottom line: they all desperately need money.
As Shyam, Raju and Babubhai ponder their miserable plight, an unusual opportunity presents itself in the form of a wrong-number call they get from the kidnapper of a young girl asking for ransom. Seeing in the call a way out of their financial predicament, the three hatch a plan to call the grandfather (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) of the young girl and ask for double the ransom, pay the real kidnappers half the money, keep half and restore the child to her grandfather.
Will they get away with the almost-perfect plan? Stay tune on April 19th and find out their fates.
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Bipasha Basu, Rimi Sen, Johny Lever
Nalaik (26 April 2008)
Nalaik is a Punjabi comedy that will leave you laughing without thinking. Nishan Singh, the only son of a Police Comissioner has a childhood dream of becoming a Dacoit or in other words, a criminal. This movie is Punjab actor, Vivek Shauq’s maiden venture as a producer, doing a dual role as the lead unworthy (Nalaik) in the film.
Catch this entertaining flick that cleverly depicts Nalaik as a common man with usual flaws but still manages to save the day. The tongue-in-cheek movie also features Bobby Deol and Jaspal Bhatti, guest starring in hilarious roles.
Cast: Vivek Shauq, Guggu Gill, Ravi Nishand, Bobby Deol, Jaspal Bhatti
