Dabangg 2 |
What's the movie about
Dabangg
2 will centre around Chulbul Pandey as its central character. Only the
backdrop this time round will be a posh metropolitan city and not a
gaon. You see, Chulcul Pandey will be transferred to a city and will
mingle with the elite, but will retain his simplistic flavour and
values.
Dabangg 2 Reviews
The job of a promo is to send out accurate pointers to its target audience. The gist of the premise, the essence of what the characters will be, an extract of the milieu... one needs to furnish a general idea of what to expect when the spectator saunters into the cineplex to watch the film. Arbaaz Khan and Abhinav Singh Kashyap had a tough responsibility on their shoulders when they embarked upon DABANGG. As luck would have it, DABANGG was hailed as one of the best entertainers of that year, with Chulbul Pandey becoming a household name. The film consolidated Salman as the darling of the masses, a position he enjoys to this date.With DABANGG 2, one is well prepared about what to expect. The sole factor that Arbaaz needs to worry about is whether DABANGG 2 would meet the towering and monumental expectations. More so, because Salman Khan is contending with himself. He seems to be raising the bar [in terms of business] with each film. WANTED, DABANGG, READY, BODYGUARD, EK THA TIGER... Salman has redefined superstardom with mass entertainers. He's Boxoffice's fav child and seems invincible and insurmountable at the moment!
With DABANGG 2, you know exactly what to expect. But you don't know its premise till the reels unfold. Let me add, the plot is an extension of the first installment of the franchise. The route is very similar except that the antagonist is more influential and authoritative.
DABANGG 2 is a typical Bollywood film. It's the kind of cinema we relished in the 1980s and enjoy to this date, but narrated in today's lingo and format. It may/may not make sense to you, but Arbaaz and team ensure that you are entertained. Thoroughly entertained, actually. It's riotous, outrageous, wacky, ambitious, absolutely madcap, transports you to an altogether different world. Add to it a sprinkling of desi songs, wicked sense of humor, with Chulbul Pandey taking on the antagonist like the vintage hero would -- with fearlessness and daredevilry. Actually, Chulbul Pandey has come to represent the common man and that’s yet another reason why you root for him, feel overjoyed and ecstatic when he triumphs in the finale.
For those who adore masala movies, celebrate mainstream cinema, relish the cinema of yore and of course, hero-worship Salman Khan, DABANGG 2 is your ticket this festive season.
DABANGG 2 begins with Chulbul Pandey moving to Kanpur. Once there, Chulbul gets into conflict with Baccha Bhaiyya [Prakash Raj]. Baccha Bhaiyya, a criminal turned politician, is aided by his two brothers, Chunni [Nikitin Dheer] and Gainda [Deepak Dobriyal]. Things take a turn for worse when Chulbul kills Gainda. the battle lines are drawn...
Like I pointed out at the outset, DABANGG 2 is a hardcore masala entertainer that's desi at heart. The plot is *not* out of the box [it's the usual good versus evil saga], but it's completely irrelevant here. What camouflages this deficiency are several interesting episodes that Arbaaz and writer Dilip Shukla have integrated in those 2 + hours. These episodes, aimed at pleasing the hoi polloi and of course, Salman's die-hard fans and also fans of mainstream cinema, are, to put in filmi lingo, absolutely paisa vasool. In fact, Salman's star power is so so so strong that you're ready to overlook and forgive-and-forget any blemish that you may encounter in the movie.
Yes, there are blemishes. The Arbaaz-Mahie Gill track is half-baked. The confrontation scenes between Salman and Prakash Raj lack fiery dialogue. The songs, though popular, are integrated in the narrative without any valid situations. But these are cinematic licenses you overlook in a Salman movie.
Arbaaz Khan, who makes his directorial debut with this film, knows his fundas right. He may have borrowed from the cinema of 1970s and 1980s, but he garnishes it well enough to suit the present-day sensibilities. Sajid-Wajid take the same route they undertook while making the soundtrack of DABANGG. Much like the content of the film, the songs are desi, with a mix of old-world charm ['Dagabaaz Re' and 'Saanson Ne'] and foot-tapping numbers ['Pandeji Seeti' and 'Fevicol']. In fact, 'Fevicol' is already a rage and Kareena's presence in the song only acts as sone pe suhaaga. The action/stunts do complete justice to Salman's persona. The action plays a crucial role in a masala entertainer and adds so much power to those scenes. Dialogue are of mixed variety.
Salman uses his fists, escapes the bullets, spews venom and threats, bullies the villain, flirts and romances his wife, does the pelvic thrusts... in fact, he does everything that one expects from Chulbul Pandey. Oh yes, he even takes off his shirt, flexing his muscles and showing his well sculptured torso without inhibitions, a mandatory requirement in a Salman Khan movie. Honestly speaking, DABANGG 2 is a Salman Khan vehicle and the actor is the Big Boss here. You cannot imagine anyone else doing what he does. And every time he plays to the gallery, many in the audience [especially at single screens] are sure to fling the loose change on screen as a mark of appreciation for his on-screen antics. He defies logic and gets away with it!
Sonakshi has the infectious charm and radiates confidence all through the enterprise. Arbaaz is just about okay. Mahie Gill has nothing to do. Vinod Khanna is passable.
Prakash Raj is in terrific form yet again. The supremely talented actor is ferocious when the need arises. Nikitin Dheer has good screen presence and does well. Deepak Dobriyal gets better scenes and is hugely competent.
On the whole, DABANGG 2 has Salman Khan, Salman Khan and Salman Khan + Entertainment, Entertainment and Entertainment in large doses. The film has the masala to work big time with the masses. This one will rewrite the rules of the game and the festive occasion [Christmas and New Year] will aid its potential. Sure shot Blockbuster!

What's the movie about
Born
to an owner of a marriage bureau Champak Lal, Mansukh has been a
complete failure ever since he has grown up and tried to help his father
in their family business. All the alliances he had tried to get done
have resulted in separation even before the marriage took place.
To prove his worth to his father, he takes up an unusual challenge of getting an underworld don TT bhai's spoilt brat sister Indu getting married to a cop called Bahattar Singh aka Khiladi 786 in Punjab and to add more to his problems he convinces even TT bhai to pretend as a cop but little did the over enthusiast know that Bahattar Singh, his father Sattar Singh and his uncle Ikhattar Singh were not cops but a family of conmen. The story takes a shape as the two hardcore families of two different states pretend to be policemen in front of each other and the beans from each side can be spilled anytime which can be life threatening for Mansukh.
What follows is a roller-coaster ride filled with music, romance, comedy and power packed action!

Khiladi 786 Reviews
Now that the 1980s' variety of masala films are being lapped up by spectators, it is heartening to see Mumbai-based film-makers working hard to create zany entertainers, also boarding the next available flight to South India to clinch the deal/s for the remake rights of Southern blockbusters. The A-list actors, on their part, are equally gung ho for unabashed entertainers, consenting to allocate ample time to movies of this variety.Akshay Kumar, who tasted super success earlier this year with ROWDY RATHORE [besides HOUSEFULL 2 and OMG - OH MY GOD!], comes up with his second masala outing before the year draws to a close, KHILADI 786. What makes KHILADI 786 conspicuous is the fact that it marks Akshay's return as 'Khiladi' after more than a decade. From the immensely likeable KHILADI in 1992 to KHILADI 420 in 2000, Akshay was the face of over half-a-dozen 'Khiladi' movies during that phase -- some good, some plain average, some terrible movies. The brand 'Khiladi' got affixed to Akshay in those years.
KHILADI 786 borrows the 'Khiladi' brand, but has no correlation with the 'Khiladi' movies attempted earlier. KHILADI 786 has a skeletal plot, but is padded with ingredients that are aimed at the hoi polloi: The lead man bashes up 10/15 goons at one go like we swat mosquitoes, punches the wall in anger and the wall crumbles, even gulps down a man as if he we were consuming a soft drink from a straw [yes, you read it right!]. This is a mere sample of what you gonna see in KHILADI 786. So, be prepared!
Come to think of it, KHILADI 786 has been made with the intention of grabbing the attention of the hardcore masses, hitting the ton [Rs 100 cr Club] and giving the tag of a 'Hit Machine' to its lead man, Akshay, who has delivered three solid hits this year. Ashish R. Mohan, who has been an apprentice to Rohit Shetty in the past, adapts his mentor's formula of wooing the audience, stretching the term unbelievable more than it should. More on that later!
Born to the owner of a marriage bureau Champak Lal [Manoj Joshi], Mansukh [Himesh Reshammiya] has been a complete failure ever since he has grown up and tried to help his father in their family business. All the alliances he had tried to get done have resulted in separation even before the marriage took place.
To prove his worth to his father, he takes up an unusual challenge of getting the underworld don, TT Bhai's [Mithun Chakraborty] spoilt sister Indu [Asin] married to a cop called Bahattar Singh aka Khiladi 786 [Akshay Kumar] in Punjab. Mansukh convinces TT Bhai to pretend as a cop. Little do they know that Bahattar Singh, his father Sattar Singh [Raj Babbar] and his uncle Ikhattar Singh [Mukesh Rishi] are not cops, but a family of con men.
The two families now pretend to be policemen in front of each other, but the cat is out of the bag soon...
KHILADI 786 is an old-school wacky potboiler. There isn't an iota of logic here and one is not even looking for intelligence, rationale or justification either. The film is packed with ingredients that constitute a wholesome entertainer such as humor, South-styled stunts with the one-man army outsmarting a bunch of deadly goons and of course, visually enticing songs every 15/20 minutes, but the writing has its share of hiccups...
* Mithun is supposed to be a dreaded don in Mumbai, whose name and pics have been splashed in newspapers and TV channels since decades [we're even shown clips], but how come Raj Babbar, Akshay and their family are completely clueless of his identity?
* The track of Asin's lover [Rahul Singh] is a yawn. What was the writer thinking while penning those sequences?
* The climax, with Rajesh Khattar landing up at the wedding, Johny Lever unlocking himself from a room where he was held captive and Mushtaq Khan and Bharti suddenly becoming news reporters at the wedding mandap, looks too much of a cinematic liberty.
On the plus side, the first-time director throws every trick in the book to entice the spectator and moves on to the next scene, before the viewer gets the feeling of deja vu. There's no denying that you actually enjoy certain moments in the narrative. The concept of having an African and Chinese in the family is so funny. Also, the lost-in-mela brother surfacing in the end may look ridiculous, but makes you smile again. In a nutshell, the film caters to the masala loving audience and the director has no qualms about admitting it.
Himesh Reshammiya, who enacts a pivotal part in the film, belts out super numbers here. 'Balma', 'Lonely', 'Hookah' and 'Long Drive' have already made it to the music charts and are, without doubt, standout tracks. The action sequences are very much macho and executed with zest and enthusiasm.
Akshay's desi punches, raw and masculine action and the correct comic timing is sure to win a lot of hearts yet again. He is in his element, in complete form, brimming with charm and confidence. He's the mainstay of the film and lives up to the title every bit. Asin is the prototypical heroine who has to look her best, dance admirably and pair off with her on-screen man.
Himesh Reshammiya does very well, while Mithun Chakraborty and Raj Babbar add lots of weight to their characters. Sanjay Mishra is in his element. Mukesh Tiwari impresses. Johny Lever is under-utilized. Manoj Joshi, Rajesh Khattar, Mukesh Rishi and Gurpreet Guggi are perfect. Mushtaq Khan, Bharti and Rahul Singh deserved better roles. Claudia Ciesla's item song adds glamour to the proceedings.
On the whole, KHILADI 786 is not for purists, but for lovers of hardcore masala films completely. If zany amusement, wacky humor and over the top entertainers is what you enjoy, this one's for you. Go, have fun!

What's the movie about
Characters:
Rohan Nanda: Varun Dhawan
The scion of Nanda Industries, shares a complex relationship with his father, Ashok Nanda because Senior Nanda only measuresRohanwith his own parameters of success..Despite all his aggression, like all sons,Rohan seeks his father's approval. Rohan's childhood sweetheart, ShanayaSinghania has a special place in Rohan's heart too but that doesn't stop him from taking her for granted. In this life of dreams and status quo, walks in a new entrant changing views, adding complications and thereby shifting equations to the extent that the Student Of The Year competition in St.Teresa's becomes the symbol of self-worth and self-realisation for Rohan Nanda.
Shanaya Singhania: Alia Bhatt
Has very few reasons to complain in her life. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth she tries hard to smother her need for love with couture clothes, designer brands and her half baked romance with Rohan..When a new student walks into the corridors of St.Teresa's, Shanaya doesn't pay much attention to him but as time passes by she can't but help realising her attraction for him andShanaya realises suddenly that the Student Of The Year trophy has much more significance in her life than she imagined.
Abhimanyu Singh: Sidharth Malhotra
Is a State level runner and an excellent student from a middle class Delhi family. His competitive nature makes sure he is always ahead of others in thought and action. When he enters St. Teresa's on a scholarship, he soon realizes that his position is among the `have nots' but his heart is with the `haves'. His friendship with Rohan Nanda and his unspoken love for ShanayaSinghania give rise to complications he doesn't expect and it's just a matter of time before he realizes that Student of the Year trophy is no longer just his ticket to success but will chisel him into the person he will become.
Synopsis
The road from youth to adulthood is paved with myriad emotions and Student Of The Year celebrates this colorful coming of age. It is the story of Abhimanyu Singh (Sidharth Malhotra) and Rohan Nanda (Varun Dhawan) who traverse the path of competition, envy, triumph, failure, manipulation and heartbreak in their mini-universe of St. Teresa's High School, Dehradun. Abhimanyu Singh a.k.a Abhi comes from a middle-class family and wants to achieve great heights of success and prosperity, the first step to which will be the Student of the Year trophy while Rohan Nanda a.k.a Ro, is the son of a business tycoon who grapples with a complex relationship with his father and knows that winning the Student Of the Year trophy will bag him the approval that he subconsciously craves for. When the two protagonists with distinct backgrounds and clear goals clash with each other in the locker room, football field and the canteen, there is no question in anyone's mind that the preset equations of the St. Teresa's campus were about to change.
When Abhi and Rohan's rivalry takes an unexpected turn to friendship, neither pre-empts the complications that would brew. Things are further knotted up when Shanaya Singhania (Alia Bhatt), the most popular girl on the campus enters the equation. While Shanaya and Rohan are childhood sweethearts, Abhi's attraction for his best friend's girlfriend and Shanaya's quiet reciprocation causes a rift in their friendship that would have a long lasting impact. Looming large over the various friendships in the campus is the Student Of The year trophy and Dean Yogendra Vasisht's (Rishi Kapoor) emphasis on success and victory. Towards the end of the term, the foes-turned-friends-turned foes, Abhi and Rohan, are ready for a face-off and battle lines are drawn through the length and breadth of the campus, with only one goal in everyone's eyes - Student Of The Year Trophy. As new ambitions are born and old loyalties fall by the wayside, each segment of the Student Of The Year competition manages to tear apart both, the participants and the spectators, to redefine the choices of the three protagonists.
What will Abhimanyu choose? Victory or Friendship?
What will Rohan choose? Victory or Dreams?
What will Shanaya choose? Victory or Emotions?

Student Of The Year Reviews
Karan Johar is back on the director's chair... and back to romance, conflict, song-n-dance and of course, college campus [KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI]. Only thing, it's minus the stars this time. The absence of stars notwithstanding, the curiosity to watch a KJo film remains intact. This colossal film is being looked forward to like any extravaganza that stars A-listers. The three newcomers [Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt] couldn't have dreamt of such a grandiloquent launch. But the weight on their shoulders is enormous. One expects them to make the right noise and perform like accomplished professionals in this lavishly-packed teen flick.High school and college romance has been the wallpaper of many a film in the past. Recall movies like JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDAR, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, MAIN HOON NA, MOHABBATEIN, 3 IDIOTS... One look at the trailers and you might assume that STUDENT OF THE YEAR is all about kids' partying, clubbing and leading a fun-filled life. Sure, STUDENT OF THE YEAR is an entertainer in the truest sense of the term, but KJo ensures that he presents the lives of the students in a competitive environment with an uplifting message that comes across loud and clear: Be a go-getter, seize the opportunity with both your hands, have the ambitious streak to attain what you desire.
STUDENT OF THE YEAR is a love story that traverses the trodden path [a high school romance]. But KJo is an artisan with intellect and taste and he ensures that the script is spruced up and modernized with such elan that it doesn't offend the spectator's wisdom or intelligence. The accomplished director takes on familiar material and gives it an entirely new twirl. This is escapist cinema at its best!

Abhimanyu a.k.a Abhi comes from a middle-class family and wants to achieve great heights of success and prosperity, the first step to which will be the 'Student Of The Year' trophy, while Rohan Nanda a.k.a. Ro is the son of a business tycoon [Ram Kapoor], who grapples with a complex relationship with his father and knows that winning the 'Student Of The Year' trophy will bag him the approval that he subconsciously craves for.
The two protagonists with distinct backgrounds and clear goals clash with each other in the locker room, football field and the canteen. Things are further knotted up when Shanaya Singhania [Alia Bhatt], the most popular girl on the campus, enters the equation. While Shanaya and Rohan are childhood sweethearts, Abhi's attraction for his best friend's girlfriend and Shanaya's quiet reciprocation causes a rift in their friendship. Abhi and Rohan are ready for a face-off and battle lines are drawn through the length and breadth of the campus, with only one goal in everyone's eyes -- 'Student Of The Year' trophy.
STUDENT OF THE YEAR narrates the wonderfully intricate and complex trajectory of three high school kids, their transition from adolescence/teenage to maturity/adulthood and the emotions they experience in this journey called life. Although love stories is a beaten to death genre, STUDENT OF THE YEAR doesn't fall into the 'typical romantic fare' category either. Karan and screenplay writer Rensil D'silva pay minute attention to detailing and character development and what comes across on screen seems like an unmarked, charming and bona fide experience within the commercial parameters.
In his by-now-famous style, Karan grabs your attention from the very commencement of the movie. What follows thereafter -- every sequence, actually -- is relevant to the film and the objective is to remain faithful to the essence of the story. Whether it's the amusing moments or the ones that depict the camaraderie of the three protagonists, also the ones when the two guys lock horns and get into the competitive spirit, Karan ensures that he packs in the optimum. There's no room for boredom or monotony in this high-on-energy movie. I'd like to make a special mention of one sequence, which reverberates in your memory and continues to haunt you after the show has concluded: A silent sequence with just music playing in the background. What a sequence! Besides, a number of emotional moments make you moist-eyed.
On the flipside, the 'Treasure Hunt' is the sole episode that doesn't match the brilliance of an otherwise dazzling movie. But there's so much happening in the movie, you overlook this minor aberration as it rushes to a pulse-pounding finale.
Vishal-Shekhar deliver a winning soundtrack. It's lively, sprightly, refined... the kind of sound that works majorly with the youth audience, the kind of sound one has come to expect from a KJo movie, the kind of soundtrack that's infectiously catchy. Besides, the gist of the movie comes across well in the varied tracks, be it 'Disco Deewane', 'Radha', 'Ishq Wala Love', 'Ratta Maar' and 'Vele'. It's a complete album and the choreography/execution of each track is stunning.
Cinematography [Ayananka Bose] is spectacular. Each and every frame looks grandiose, colorful. In fact, the glam that you associate with a KJo movie is all there. This one's truly a good looking film! Dialogue [Niranjan Iyengar] adjoins incredible significance to the movie and serves immensely to fortify even a commonplace sequence. The styling of each and every actor [Manish Malhotra] is awe-inspiring.
You need immense courage to launch newcomers in an extravagant production in these tough times. Not only has Karan chosen faces that have the potential to be the poster boys/girl of Gen X, but he ensures that they are presented like huge stars in their debut movie. Both Sidharth and Varun are excessively talented, supremely confident and hardly look like first-time actors. Photogenic, charming and self-assured, it's tough to say who's better, Sidharth or Varun? Both shine in their respective roles, both enact their parts with gusto. Sidharth gets some terrific moments, while Varun is a talent one can't help but marvel at. Alia's role is reminiscent of Kareena in KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM [remember Poo?]. Stylish, classy, born with a silver spoon, she's someone who loves to flaunt not just her clothes and bags, but also her riches. Extremely photogenic [she looks like a doll, frankly], Alia makes a super-confident debut. In fact, all three, Siddharth, Varun and Alia, are here to stay!
The film has a super-strong supporting cast. Known for essaying romantic roles in his illustrious career, Rishi Kapoor's portrayal of a baddie in AGNEEPATH earlier this year and as a gay dean in STUDENT OF THE YEAR is sure to raise eyebrows. But it also proves how courageous he is when it comes to choosing roles. The veteran is simply lovable. Ram Kapoor is another actor who has proved his credentials in the past and proves it yet again. He's fantastic!
Kayoze Irani is another youngster who stands out. Extremely natural... he shines in a powerful sequence towards the final stages of the film. Manasi Rachh, as Alia's friend, sparkles in several sequences. She's too good. Sahil Anand, as Varun's friend, is first-rate, providing some genuinely funny laughs.
Ronit Roy is wonderfully restrained. Sana Saaed looks glamorous and does well. Manjot Singh is pleasant. Gautami Kapoor conveys a lot through her expressive eyes. Maninee De Mishra, Farida Jalal, Prachi Shah, Sushma Seth, Akshay Anand, all lend adequate support. Boman Irani appears in a cameo.
On the whole, STUDENT OF THE YEAR is amongst Karan Johar's most accomplished works. The youth brigade would love it and those who have already past that age would want to revisit those days. This one's entertainment, entertainment and entertainment at its best. Clearly, KJo has a winner on hands, yet again!

What's the movie about
Jab
Tak Hai Jaan is a love triangle. It is the story of Samar Anand, an
Indian who lives in London and manages to lead an average life. He
shares a house with a Pakistani friend, Zain, who finds it difficult to
get a job. But the golden-hearted man that Samar is, he helps Zain
financially. In fact, it is in Samar's nature to spread joy and
happiness all around. He meets and falls in love with Meera, an Indian
girl who also lives in London with her father. Meera's mother had left
her father and eloped with Imran, her lover. Meera is so fond of her
father that she can't dream of hurting him. Meera's father fixes her
engagement to her friend, Roger.
Meera has an equation with God whereby she always does barter deals with Jesus Christ. If she asks God for a favour, she does so by taking a vow that she'd do something in return if God granted her wish. Scared of hurting her father, she makes Samar vow along with her, in church, to not fall in love with one another. But soon, Meera finds that she, too, has fallen in love with him, after Samar makes her meet her estranged mother after a gap of nine years. Before Meera can tell her dad about her love for Samar, he meets with a near-fatal accident. Meera takes this accident as a punishment of God to Samar for Meera having broken her vow made to God. She prays for his life and, in return, vows never to marry Samar. His life is, in fact, saved. And Meera, in keeping with her promise to God, walks out of Samar's life after telling him about her vow.
Samar is dejected and depressed. He is very angry with God for having snatched away his beloved from him. Meera asks Samar to leave London for her sake, which Samar does. He returns to India and joins the army in keeping with the wishes of his family members and soon, becomes well-known for diffusing bombs. But he is a loner as he is unable to forget Meera. Years later, another girl, Akira, enters Samar's life. She is a rookie documentary filmmaker who has come to make a documentary on the soldiers. Akira is just the opposite of Samar. She is full of life, is not at all emotional and doesn't think twice before walking out on her boyfriend. She represents the modern generation. In her two-week stint with Samar and his men, she falls madly in love with Samar whose past love story she is aware of. Samar, of course, doesn't reciprocate her love although he realizes that she is a nice girl. Akira returns to London where she works. Samar is asked by Akira to come to London for just a day as otherwise, her documentary film would not get selected. At first, Samar is reculant because he does not want to go through the trauma of his breakup with Meera in London. But he obliges as he realizes that it is a question of Akira's future whose passion he admires.
As fate would have it, Samar meets with another accident in London. Although his life is saved, he suffers from retrograde amnesia. He seems to have forgotten the entire period between his first accident and the recent accident. That means, he doesn't remember a thing about his stint with the Indian army. He also does not recognize Akira while saving whom he had met with the accident. All he remembers is that he is married to Meera. Dr. Khan, the neurologist attending on him, asks Akira to get in touch with Meera, which she does. Meera is brought back into Samar's life so that he moves faster towards recovery. Meera has to pretend to be Samar's wife. But Meera is scared about her promise to God.
What happens thereafter? Does Meera help Samar in his recovery even at the cost of inviting God's wrath? Does Samar ever regain his lost memory? If so, how? And if so, who has helped whom - is it Meera who has helped Samar come close to Akira, or is it Akira who has unwittingly got Meera and Samar close to another? Was Meera married to Roger? Who ultimately unites with whom? Or does Samar die?
