After Directing 12 remarkable movies in his nearly 17 year old career, Rajkumar Santoshi, The ’Ghayal’ at the Box Office six times previously is making a comeback with Ajay Devgan, Punkaj Kapoor and Vidya Balan Starrer ‘Halla Bol’. His last directed six movies from ’China Gate’, ‘Pukar’, ‘Lajja’,'The legend of Bhagat Singh’, ‘Khakee’ to ‘Family-Ties of Blood’ were not success stories at the ticket window but almost all of them got rave reviews from the critics.
‘Pukar’ and ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh’ even managed to get National Awards for Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgan.
Director Rajkumar Santoshi has known for making hard hitting and thought provoking movies as his Guru Govind Nihalani, He created magic with Sunny Deol in ‘Ghayal’,'Damini’ and ‘Ghatak’ making him twice winner of coveted National Award.
Lets wait and watch how he is gonna ‘Bol’ a ‘Halla’ from today onwards, by making a Monetary Success at the box office Or by sweeping another National Award for Ajay Devgan or Pankaj Kapoor without significant box office collections?
I expect the unexpected this time after his last six not so encouraging box office performances, The Ever Talented Genius Santoshi is all geared up to bring back ‘Ghayal’ days again.

dis is for mr.santoshi,dat he is nil without sunny deol, he is just gud for nthing fellow without sunny in his movies.wat he had done in past with sunny is just a wnderful thng,but d moment he left him ,he seems to b an incomplete director,he did khaki wid amitabh but cudn’t do anything,he did lot wid ajay,but can’t prove his worth,he did pukar wid anil kapur,but dat an incomplete movie without sunny,if sunny wud b in lajja or pukar,they wud d hit movie of dat year,so santoshiji just wake up and do wat suits u,do wid dat fellow,whom with u can give d best,he is d best actor and u r d best director,but when both of u r together.vikas juyal dehradun.ph.no 9412008798
