Movie Preview

I’m ‘K’, just ‘K’! Well that’s no desi version of James Bond but the introduction scene of John Abraham in Anurag Kashyap’s latest flick ‘No Smoking’.
The longish first trailer of the movie begins with that.
In an obvious tribute to Martin Scorsese’s ‘Taxi Driver’, a bare-bodied John faces the mirror in rolling for the Kafkaeque thriller from the maker of ‘Black Friday’.
What follows in swift montage of how badly ‘K’ is addicted to smoking.
In fact, he is so obsessed that he has even alienated his wife, played by Ayesha Takia.
She is looking very much next-to-door-girl.
“Is baar anniversary pe kya chahiye tumhein?” “Divorce”, fires Ayesha.
“Itna budget nahin hain mera,” fires back John.
Sharp, slick, witty.
‘No Smoking’ has a very matter-of-fact tongue-in-cheek feel to the proceedings.
But then things get scary!

A haunting cabaret sung by Adnan Sami and picturised on model Jesse Randhawa (!) delivers a trailer mein twist.

‘Jab bhi cigarette jalta hain, main bhi jalta hoon’, has been composed by ‘No Smoking’s Producer Vishal Bharadwaj and written by Gulzar.
Other characters whom we see flitting in and out during this inner turmoil of ‘K’ are Ranvir Shorey and Kiku Sharda, all trying to get him to quit smoking.
And then, in the last lap of the trailer, enter Baba Bangali played by Paresh Rawal, whom Anurah calls his Gabbar Singh.
“Cigarette beedi tambaku sab ka ilaaj hain uske paas……….. ”
It’s heer that the film goes into complete surreal mode with chopped fingers and scampering rodents filling up the screen.
And we even land up in Russia where John is being chased down by the military. Why?
He is still smoking and even at gunpoint all he can ask for is a ‘Maachis’!
Anurag’s idea of a man trying to quit smoking had given birth to the Saif-Boman episode in the Ram Gopal Verma – Produced ‘Darna Mana Hain’.
But then he fleshed his idea out and made into a full-length feature.
While everybody from Shah Rukh Khan to Hrithik Roshan were approached by Anurag, the film finally got made with John who was more than eager to do something hatke.

‘No Smoking’ releases on October 26th 2007.
Trivia: ‘No Smoking’ storyline “has similarities with Stephen Kings short story ‘Quitters’, Inc.
The story released in the ‘Night Shift’ anthology was adopted as one of the three films called ‘Cat’s Eye’ starring James Wood and Alan King.
