i-was-tomboy-says-disha-patani
Disha was interacting with media at the launch of European fashion brand ONLY's 'Denimize The World' campaign on Friday in Mumbai.

When asked Disha which are her earliest memories of wearing a denim, she said, “I remember the bell bottom ones. They used to have those embroidery in the jeans and it really used to like glittery and stuff. When I used to wear it, I used to feel I am so cool and I am like the coolest person. I was a tomboy. I used to have short hair at that time and wearing those gilry cloths. I don’t know how it used to go but I have those memories and I still cherish that because denim is very important part in anybody’s life and we all love to wear denims. I am a from a small town and I think wherever you go, to a small town or big city like Mumbai, we all wear denims in different way and style but denims are the essentials.”

Talking about ‘Denimize The World’ campaign, Disha said, “Basically the campaign is called as ‘Denimizing The World’ and we all are just trying to make sure that people know that Denim is most comfortable and stylish. I feel everyone in their part of life have used denim and they do use including me. I think it can really make you feel cool and comfortable at the same time and that’s what we are looking for through this campaign”

When asked how people should be part of denim revolution, she said, “I think just wear denims. We all wear denims but it’s just the realization that denims are very important in everybody’s life. I think the campaign is not just about cloths or outfits. It is also about getting denims into other things like a mug or small frames which is very cool. I think denims can really make you feel cool, sexy, and subtle. Formal or informal, you can pair it with anything so, I think I am on for denims for anything.

After success of Baaghi 2, Disha Patani next will be seen in Sundar C's magnum opus ‘Sanghamitra’; it will also star Jayam Ravi and Arya in pivotal roles.

102 Not Out Review

#102NotOut starring #AmitabhBachchan and #RishiKapoor is a story of a father teaching his 75-year-old son a lesson. The life of a parent never changes even at the brink of his death. 

102-not-out-review
Amitabh is seen as the carefree 102-year old father who wants only one thing for his child is to be happy and Rishi Kapoor as the old child who lives by the self-developed rules and survives by medicines. The story starts with an introduction to each character and soon (Bachchan) Datta announces that he will send (Rishi) Babu to an old age home on account of being a stuck up old man. Babu who cannot bear the change of his bedsheet is appalled by the idea of any change in his surrounding. 

The film is a short story taking too long to end, without giving the right amount of time to bring alive the emotional fundamentals of the film. The first half mainly focus on the tasks gives by Datta and suddenly shows a change of heart after one trip around town. Even with Bachchan and Kapoor in the frame, the only thing to watch is a few genuine laughs while the most other seem forced. The story does not follow an explained timeframe but uses dialogues to give a subtext throughout the narrative. 

The predictable story goes without provoking any emotions from the audience that it aims to with the suspense after revealing Bachchan's actual purpose in the second half. For a film that talks about living a full life, Umesh Shukla's 102 Not Out is based on a trivial matter at the base of all issues.

OMERTA REVIEW: Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh's informative tale directed by Hansal Mehta

For someone who has no knowledge of the militant Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, Hansal Mehta's #Omerta gives all the significant incidents packed in the 96-minute film.

omerta-review-ahmed-omar-saeed-sheikhs-informative-tale
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took the liberty of audience's awareness and dived right into the action knowing viewers are well versed who the story is about.

The film starts in 1994 when Rajkummar starring as Omar befriends, a Czech, two Brits, and an American tourist and then abducts them under false pretenses of Rohit Verma. When arrested Omar begins the tail of his origin without a warning. The film then jumps back in time a few times making it harder for the audience to understand the young lad's story. The film then quickly passes through all the Al-Qaeda training in Afghanistan and ISI training in his flashbacks that stems from his need to help his Muslim brothers and sisters in Bosnia. 

The constant use of real feed from the actual documentary binds the story well with reality reminding us of the horrific acts actually occurred in life. While the film fails to dive into the emotional transformation that Omar's shows form the British LSE Student to the militant, Rajkummar expresses the psychotic behavior well enough to drag the audience through the timeline.

When asked if he had expected the song to become such a hit, Raghav said, "I had never thought I would sing a cover song. I never wanted to do that, I was always looking forward to creating an original and the best of what I am capable of and a cover will always be the second best because of the original exist.  But when we came up with Saiyaan and Maula Mere I couldn't resist."

Talking about the songs and the reason behind choosing them for the mash-up he said, "Saiyaan and Maula Mere are the two of most beautiful songs created in 2000. I believe they are one of the best songs of the entire decade. We have created a mashup of the two songs and clubbed both with some electronic beats. we have tried to mold these beautiful songs into our own taste."

Raghav said his thought behind this project was to devise something he enjoys creating. "I am actually a singer-composer so I have plenty songs of my own and to get them out there with a label is not easy. So we wanted to do something that will make us familiar with our audience and we enjoy while making it. At first, we thought about making another original but during one of our jamming session we happened to be working on these songs and the result was amazing. So we decided to involve more people and share this with the world."

Ranveer was interacting with media as he unveiled Carrera eyewear’s #DriveYourStory campaign and premiere of short film based on his life journey on Wednesday in Mumbai.

Talking about his upcoming films in detail, Ranveer said, “Simmba’ is my first collaboration with Rohit Shetty which I know people are really excited about and me more than anyone to be diving into the masala genre with king of the genre. It is an incredible opportunity that I am extremely exciting to be commencing principal shooting in about a month’s time. I will start prep for that film from tomorrow. Hopefully wearing aviators of Carrera throughout the film. Mr.Rohit Shetty is very keen that I have big muscles in the film. He has told me (Jab tu wardi pehenega na to wardi phatni chahiye) to ensure that uniform (Police officer) should tear apart when I wear it and he wants me to wear pair of aviators so, actually we are already in talks with Carrera for the same.”

I have just completed shooting of ‘Gully Boy’. ‘Gully Boy’ is very special story, one that I am closely attached to. It’s set against the backdrop of flourishing desi hip hop scene coming out of Bombay (Mumbai). It is the story which represents Mumbai in its true sense so, that being my home town, born & raised, these are my people, this is my language and this is the story I am really attached to. It’s an underdog story about a kid who broke through from great adversity in life to make it as a recording artist.”

 “1983’ which is story of 1983 World Cup, a significant event in our history bursting full of national pride. It’s a very interesting story. When Mr. Kabir Khan first came to me with that film, I said finally somebody is making that film but when he told me the story, I realized what an insane underdog story it is. A bunch of ragtag underdogs that nobody believed in who went on to fight against the odds, be brave and had the ultimate triumph so, a story that extremely significant in our history as a nation and one definitely that shaped sports and cricket what it is today and it is something that I am very proud to be part of so, I am very excited about my upcoming slate and I really hope audience will enjoy all of those films.”

naseeruddin-shah-and-sonali-kulkarni-attends-special-screening
In an earlier interview, director Sudip Bandhopadhyay talked about ‘Hoe Aur Hum’, saying that, “It is a simple family film. I took three generations to tell the story. In a family, every individual has their own story to tell. Together we build one story, but simultaneously, every character has their own problems. I thought that was an interesting approach to narrate a story: a kid, an old man and a young man.”

The big push came along from his daughter, though. He reveals, “My nine-year-old daughter asked me if I was going to direct a film. When I said yes, she replied back with something that surprised me. She said, ‘Papa, I’ll never be able to watch the film you make because I don’t think it will be age appropriate.’ That’s when it struck me that I should be making a film that can be watched by everyone between the age of eight and 80.”

Sudip wrote the central character of his film with Naseeruddin Shah in mind. In fact, the film and its characters are drawn from his own life experiences. He says, “I was studying in Kolkata when I first met an old uncle who used to operate a box camera machine that used to enlarge copies in a most intensive and unusual mechanical process. This old uncle and his little stories inspired Naseer saab’s character in the film. People will like the sweetness and simplicity of my film.”

Directed by Ace Ad filmmaker, Sudip Bandyopadhyay Hope Aur Hum is the reminiscent tale of a family in Mumbai who’s lives are explored through an endearing cinematic journey. It is presented by Thumbnail Pictures and produced by Samira Bandyopadhyay,

‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’ comes from very personal experience of Vikramaditya Motwane says Anurag Kashyap

Producer of #BhaveshJoshiSuperhero #AnuragKashyap has said that the film comes from very personal experience of director Vikramditya Motwane.

bhavesh-joshi-superhero-comes-from-very-personal-experience-of-vikramaditya-motwane
Anurag Kashyap was interacting with media at the trailer launch ‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’ along with Harshvardhan Kapoor, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena on Wednesday in Mumbai.

‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’ revolves around fight against corruption, so when asked Anurag his take on corruption in the country, he said, “I think Vikram’s (Vikramditya Motwane) take on corruption is in the film. This film comes from very personal experience of Vikram. There is whole portion in the first half of the film that’s exactly how it happened but Vikram will never admit to it in public and audiences have to figure it out themselves but that was the genesis of the film.”

When asked Vikramaditya what prompted him to make ‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’, he said, “I am working on this script since 2010-11 and Anurag has been part process since then. I think the frustration is being Indian citizen at some point of time drives you towards certain thoughts and certain needs so, the seed started from the country we living in. We all love our country but let’s be honest that there are problems which we all want to solve and sometimes, vigilante isn’t the right thing is to do but you feel to slap people so, this thought starts from there but that’s not the film. We all big fan of graphic novels, superheroes who fights against injustice so, it comes from deep rooted want for justice and those kind of things. This film is about our protest against corruption and against certain part of the system that we feel doesn’t work “
Generally, superhero film has typical names like ‘Superman’ Spider-Man’ but Vikramditya Motwane named his film as ‘Bhavesh Joshi’ which is very common name so, when asked Vikramditya what’s the reason to name it as ‘Bhavesh Joshi’, he said, “There was friend of mine in school whose name of Bhavesh Joshi and he was extremely naughty and we always used to call him by his full name as Bhavesh Joshi and that name got stuck in my head. I know ‘Bhavesh Joshi’ is very common title for a film and that’s the whole point because its story about common man who is trying to do something bigger to deliver justice and that’s the whole motive to name it so common so that, it appeals to everybody”

When asked why we have made fewer films on vigilante as compared to Hollywood, Vikramditya said, “I think we are vigilante’s forever. In 1970s Mr. Bachchan (Amitabh Bachchan) played vigilante in so many of his films. We have ‘Mr. India’ in which Anil Kapoor played sort of vigilante. I just think we are not used to idea of masked vigilante because our heroes themselves can do lot work that a superheroes does. In a sense, ‘Bhavesh Joshi’ is a kind of throwback to films which we made in 1970s.”
