Product Description

There's always been a patriarch for every field. He leads, people follow. He takes new paths -- praised if he`s successful, derided if he fails. But then somebody has to do the job. Somebody has to invent for the others to reinvent. Somebody has to stand up for our fifty six year old philosophy -- for the people, by the people, to the people.

Shah Rukh Khan did just that. He invades areas where no actor has ever been. A clear brand philosophy and a brilliant understanding of mass psyche has been the strength of the SRK product. He is probably the best brand ever churned out by Indian industry. Outrageous and outspoken in his interviews, he played to the masses and boy did he play it right. Then there is the proverbial pinch of salt. With which SRK takes himself. While his work reflects his passion, there has always been that wry black humour that grounds his reality. He has consistently stripped the idealistic glamour from his profession by branding himself a performer.

One section of this story deals with the portrait of the artist as an individual, while the other would be an analytical commentary of his body of work and closer look at the Shah Rukh phenomenon through his films. The books argues on several premises including that of visual pleasure and the erotic gaze to explain the strongest points of attraction that a Shah Rukh film holds for the audience.

The book would argue that the films under discussion have an underlying theme that binds them the skilled manipulation of visual pleasure and the subversion of the erotic into an acceptable mandate that nevertheless attracts the audience.

The book would talk about the emotions and economics of being the Shahrukh Brand.

The book would reveal a candid star talking unreservedly on his art and acting. Shahrukh Khan had stepped into the film world as an outsider, a young man bereaved from the loss of his parents, seeking solace, work and passion in an alien world. ... Read more

It is a very gud coffee table book. I can keep reading it and never get bored...

5-0 out of 5 stars Shahrukh Khan
Love the man, love the book. The book is a wonderful reflection of how hard SRK works for his place amongst the gods. Wonderful insights into his privaate world with questions begging to be answered. And glorious pics.

5-0 out of 5 stars Delicious!
This a big, big, BIG book.It's a somewhat extravagant treat, granted, but oh so worth it!Beautifully put together, excellent photographs, fascinating subject.Just one warning to non-Hindi speakers:Indians have the delightful habit of flowing in and out of several languages at once.It's a charming trait, actually, and it works well if you happen to be fluent in the two languages that are being used in the same sentence. This works well for the Indian market, of course, and the NRI market, probably.But it's not so great for the NII market (the Non-Indian Indian market)that a growing number of Europeans and Americans belong to.I am so fond of SRK films that I've started learning Hindi.But the pitiful few words I've managed to learn do not begin to help me understand some of the many Hinglish phrases contained in this book.Still and all, if you're a Khan fan, this book is a must.

4-0 out of 5 stars Shah Rukh Khan- Coffee table book
I purchased this as an anniversary gift for a friend who is a huge SRK fan. I was very pleased with the service- I did expedited service and the book arrived in 2 days as I expected. It is a big thick coffee table style book with never before seen pictures of SRK and his family and interesting information. I would rate it 5 stars, if it were not for the price. At about $60 including shipping, I thought the price is a bit steep, although SRK fans might find it worth every cent!

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for all Shahrukh Khan fans.
It is a book for all seasons; a book that should be on the coffee table--picked up and read at any time; a book full of text and photos both inside and outside his cinematic life; a book of biography and filmography; an art book; a fun book featuring many photos of his film faces (remember Manu as a lady-of-the-night??) and much, much more.

Product Description
This book is the best window into Shah Rukh Khan s inner world and soul. Mushtaq, being a friend of the family, is the best artist for this family portrait portrayal.

If Shah Rukh Khan has been known for his non-stop talk then writer Mushtaq Sheikh too doesn't appear far behind when it comes to translating his thoughts into words. He writes, and writes and then further writes about Shah Rukh, something that makes one feel that more than a friend and a colleague, Mushtaq looks at Shah Rukh as a hero. Someone who is not just his hero but also an entire country's - correction, entire world's hero! It is this very 'fan factor' that makes 'Shah Rukh Can' a read that seems to be coming straight from an admirer's heart.

What makes this book special is that a lot of the material (words and pictures) is stuff that we haven't seen before. There are some things even Google's search algorithms cannot find. But Mushtaq Shiekh can.

From a book that claims to talk about 'The Life and Times of Shah Rukh Khan', the least you expect is some trivia from the actor's life, both personal and professional, about which not much has been written about in the past. The kind which makes you wonder if something like that had really happened in the actor's life. Thankfully, Mushtaq extracts quite some trivia out of the actor's life. So you get to know how Shah Rukh was offered the role of Anil Kapoor's car driver in 1942 - A Love Story, which he rejected (of course!). Eventually Raghuvir Yadav did that role. Or how Shah Rukh completely surrendered to the director's vision and withdrew himself when he couldn't follow the trajectory of Subhash Ghai's Pardes. It's a different matter though that Shah Rukh was appreciated for his performance in the film but so was he in Karan Arjun too, which by the way he dared not watch over the years because he didn't connect with the role.

There are number of such little instances that make 'Shah Rukh Can' an interesting read. But is it just about the actor and the trivia around his life? Not at all. One of the unexplored facets of Shah Rukh that is covered in the book in extensive detail is his views around acting v/s performances. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Doing the Khan-Khan
The author (Mushtaq Sheikh) had written a coffee-table book called Still Reading Khan, and in a original plagiarization of self, has released this book (Shah Rukh Can) with all the same text and without most of the pictures found in the expensive version. I liked this book as (1) I didn't buy the coffee table book, (2) I am a fan of Shah Rukh's and (3) it's a quick, light read with some nice stories about SRK's early days. The most irritating parts of the book are when Sheikh tries to provide insight on cinematic trends or in any way deviates from the story of his protagonist. Guess the moral is .. Shah Rukh Can but Sheikh Cannot. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars A bit retro but not too bad
This was made in 1997 with an SRK still with his puppy fat. A lot of the feel of the movie is more the Hollywood romances of the 1960s than a movie of the 90s.
However SRK is always good (and better in the second half than the first) and there is good chemistry between him and the girl (Juhi Chawla).
I was tossing up about holding onto this as it feels a bit corny and dated but it does have a certain something given all those qualifications.

3-0 out of 5 stars Hmm. The girl? Or the office?
Undoubtedly there are excellent, vastly entertaining Indian films out there (Black (Bonus - Free Star Dust Awards 2004 DVD), Main Hoon Na, Lagaan - Once Upon a Time in India, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Kuch Naa Kaho (2 Disc Set), to name just a few). But a very large percentage of Bollywood cinema requires from the audience - especially the Western audience - a grain of salt (maybe two grains of salt), a certain mindset, and lowered expectations. So many films come out of Bollywood that the law of averages dictates that a lot of them can't be quality stuff. And Bollywood is never too shy about borrowing plots and premises from Hollywood. This time around plot and premise ideas are lifted from the 1960 Jack Lemmon classic The Apartment and from 1993's For Love Or Money which starred Michael J. Fox and Gabrielle Anwar. YES BOSS, released in 1997, stars Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, although he gets second billing to Aditya Pancholi, who plays the bad guy.

Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) dreams of having his own advertising agency, a dream he believes can be realized thru the influence and financing of his boss Sidharth (Aditya Pancholi). Accordingly, he toadies up to the man, playing Sidharth's willing right hand man. But what happens when his philandering boss sets his sight on a girl Rahul himself fancies? Seema (Juhi Chawla) is a nice, beautiful middle-class girl who toils as a model and keeps very material goals in mind. She confesses to Rahul that if she herself can't achieve her goals, then she'll marry someone who can get them for her. In finessing things so that Sidharth gets close to Seema, Rahul has to face up to his own feelings, and eventually has to make a choice. The girl? Or the office?

Two and a half stars for this picture. YES BOSS is 2 hours and 37 minutes of corny film-making, but, if you're a Shah Rukh Khan fanatic, then it makes for decent watching. I didn't mind it. But if you don't know who Shah Rukh Khan is or if you haven't seen a Bollywood flick before, then you might want to wait on this one. The positives are that actress Juhi Chawla is lovely and does invite interest and sympathy and Shah Rukh Khan ultimately salvages his smarmy role. No, he's not as charismatic as Jack Lemmon or Michael J. Fox, but there's an invested anticipation as we await Rahul finally standing up against the domineering Sidharth. But, before he does, Rahul engages in so much unabashed fawning that I wanted to slap him. Meanwhile, Aditya Pancholi plays his reprehensible role with ease. His character just coldly keeps on dangling that ad agency carrot at Rahul. Pancholi is good to hiss at.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for classy Ivory Merchant stuff and sometimes I hanker for cheese. Overall, I found YES BOSS to be a slice of cheesy heaven. "Cheesy heaven," I call it, somewhat in appreciation, but I'm a Bollywood veteran by now and I know what I'm walking into. Inept acting (Johnny Lever continues to get on my last nerve), one-note characters, a plot drowning in soap opera suds, and tedious musical numbers. Yup, they're all here. But, as I've said, I'm used to the cheese, was ready for it and even had fun with it. But I don't really blame others for rolling their eyes at the blatant hokeyness of it all. And, ultimately, I can't really recommend YES BOSS. When Rahul and Seema finally declare their love for each other (in the middle of a fistfight with the villains, no less), this scene is fraught with so much cheese that I started laying out mouse traps.

4-0 out of 5 stars First Bollywood movie I watched
This was a very good movie. I wasn't sure if I would like it at first because it's very long and a little cheesy... but once I got into the story and the characters I really enjoyed it. It's very comical and some of the songs are very entertaining.

5-0 out of 5 stars Favorite Bollywood movie!
Like my title says, it's my favorite Bollywood movie, EVER! I just HAD to have it when I first watched it! The copy I purchased is in excellent condition. I expect nothing less from this comnpany, and they've never let me down.

4-0 out of 5 stars Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Superb.. More than I expected.. arrival was quick... now I remember why I wanted this movie. SRK, Rani and Kajol are excellent together.. KKKG was another trio favorite.. I would have liked to see him with Rani, though. They are so cute together. Paheli is my all time favorite. I need to order another because this one is starting to stall, I have played it so much.
I think the second half of KKHH is what captivates me. It is so heartwarming and funny at the same time. Must see in my book..

5-0 out of 5 stars You don't have to be indian to love Bollywood!
I an not indian but I love Bollywood movies and to me, this is the best movie I have ever seen! This was the first movie and the first time I ever saw Shahrukh Khan and fell instantly in love! He is so funny, charming and when called for brilliantly serious and dramatic. This movie won my heart with its story and music. I really love just about every song in the movie; especially the title song. I just had to buy my own copy I love this movie so much and I will probably watch it every week! lol!. I am so glad that the availability of these movies are increasing to feed my addiction and to Shahrukh Khan! This is a must see movie, you have got to get it! I can't wait to see Shah in "My name is Khan" when it comes out. I have seen the trailer online (Google it)and it is very good!

5-0 out of 5 stars Shahrukh makes a handsome rich man
This movie was fun to watch and definitely had it's funny moments. However, Shahrukh Khan doesn't make an appearance until later on in the movie but when he does appear he makes quite an entrance- looking very handsome and says a very witty remark. It does have a different feel to it than the other bollywood movie I have seen- I can't quite explain it but nevertheless I loved this movie

4-0 out of 5 stars Shah Rukh in the Promos
Not worth a watch.. The dumbest thing the producers did was not branding it as a Shah Rukh film...

5-0 out of 5 stars Fun, fun, fun
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.I should be upfront and say that I usually like SRK movies; however, he does not have a huge part this time.Nevertheless, the other characters proved to be memorable and the actors gave good performances.The story is not new (rich boy forced to marry to keep his millions, bride left alone after the wedding); however, Dulha Mil Gaya adds some twists and characters that make this movie very entertaining.Some of the lines have stayed with me and I still laugh when I remember them.If you take the time to see this film, I think you will be entertained. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
This text is the result of work that began early in 1996 by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute. The first part of the book explores and documents the conditions under which the transfer of rural water supply schemes was sustainable and the conditions under which the transfer proved to be a failure. The first report found a great deal of raw potential for collective action in the self-delivery and self-management of rural water supply. It further explores what factors were most conducive to successful self-management and hence scheme sustainability and what factors were most likely to hinder collective action. However, the collective action observed and studied was for the most part spontaneous. Two hypotheses are explored in Part 2, a second study. First, that the raw potential for collective action could be galvanized into sustainable scheme management with the social mobilization of development NGOs. Second, that the critical factor for inducing collective action may be "demand" and the presence of such demand may incline communities towards social mobilization and collective action. Thus, demand and social mobilization could implement each other.Interesting findings emerge from both reports. The book is addressed broadly to those concerned with development and more specifically to institutional economists concerned with collective action issues and the role of NGOs in fostering development and collective action. ...

Product Description

The book suggests that social capital is a feature of the community in terms of their norms, mutual trust, reciprocal obligations, and social networks.   When successful, development organizations can harness the social capital and embody it in village or community organizations and subsequently guide these organizations to participate and engage in collective action for poverty alleviation and enhancing community welfare.  For our in-depth case study, we utilize varied quantitative and qualitative research methods, including anthropological research and the use of control villages for comparison.  The authors also document the importance of understanding history and culture for the process of harnessing social capital.

Editorial Review

Product Description

Neo-classical economic trade theory suggests that countries on an aggregate level specialize in products that are consistent with their particular advantages and this book suggests that the predictions of the theory are broadly borne out.  However, this theory is cast on a very aggregate level such as textiles and steel and the theory provides little guidance on process. Thus, there is little one learns from the theory about business, structural, and institutional practices that make a particular country more successful than others even if their broad comparative advantage is similar.  Similarly, one learns little about the various forms of critical linkages or partnerships, backward and forward (induced by industrial policy or spontaneous), public-private, domestic-foreign (in a value chain context), South-South, and intra-cluster or sector that result in export success and failure in the garment industry in South Asia.

4-0 out of 5 stars A bit dated but solid & well-acted
This is about a poor, high principled, recent engineering graduate from Darjeeling, called Raj (Shahrukh Khan), who moves to Bombay to become rich and successful. He meets the love of his life (Juhi Chalwa) and starts making his way. Forces start opposing his rise and he is forced to look at whether he can maintain his principles in the realities of Bombay's business world.
From 1992 it is looking a little dated. The songs and dances are fine but none particularly stand out. However all the acting is solid and SRK & Juhi are in the early stages of the great paring they continued with in other movies. There is good chemistry and they both are very watchable. SRK plays it straight and does both the conflicted aspirant and person of principles very well - as he later did in many other movies too!
Elsewhere on the Net it tends to score above average and that's where I'd put it too.
