A lot of pre-release publicity is being heaped on the new comedy Total Siyappa. But the behind-the-scenes back-story of how the film lost its original title is far more interesting than Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam trying hard to be funny and cute at the media events. The film was originally titled Aman Ki Asha, as it fitted in nicely with the concept of the Indo-Pak story. However, the title is closely and inextricably associated with a cultural peace plan initiated by a publishing house. Hence calling the film Aman Ki Asha would not only have seemed an extension of the campaign mooted by the publishing house, it also might have been an infringement of copyright. When asked, director E. Niwas says the old title just didn't fit in. "We didn't want people to think it was another Veer-Zara kind of love story," says Niwas, leaving you wondering what's wrong with Veer-Zara.

Reviews of awful films are the easiest to write if only because you have to focus less on weighing the strengths of a film against the weaknesses; when all a film has are weaknesses, the task becomes simple. It's a rare occasion though, because typically even the worst films have a few redeeming qualities. Take A Common Man for example, it's a horrible little Sri Lankan film written in English and directed by Chandran Rutnam with Sir Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross in the leading roles. Now surely, most would think, having Kingsley and Cross must keep A Common Man from getting too bad. Their performances must elevate the film slightly. You'd think that, but they don't.

On May 21, Anchor Bay Home Entertainment is bringing A Common Man onto Blu-ray and DVD. The film stars actor Ben Kingsley in the role of a man planting five bombs in a large city, threatening to detonate the devices if the government doesn.t release a group of terrorists into the populace. Kingsley doesn.t seem to be a normal terrorist, however. As the title notes, and the trailer explains, he.s just an .ordinary citizen.. Well, at least an ordinary citizen with an agenda. It may not be the best time to release a bomb-based film, but the trailer for the release is a pretty fast-paced, lengthy one, covering the main plot points pretty specifically. The one big mystery seems to be why Kingsley wishes to set the terrorists free in the first place. Throughout his career, Ben Kingsley has taken a variety of roles. Some have won him...
