RGV provokes people to show their guts
Nothing can match the confidence and optimism possessed by film maker named Ram Gopal Varma.
|
|
For his forthcoming directorial venture ‘Phoonk’ which he says is the scariest of all his horror genre movies till date, Ramu has promised Rs.5 lakhs to anyone who is able to watch the whole movie alone in the theatre without getting out even once.
It is amusing when we think that this challenge is being offered by the film maker who has not been at his best in the recent times as three of his much hyped movies failed miserably.
But then for Mr.Varma, right from the time he made his first movie, the recipe of success has always been just going ahead and doing what he believes in without caring for anything else.
The producer of ‘Phoonk’, Azam Khan of One More Thought Entertainment is also supporting the director in his plan to prove how much fear ‘Phoonk’ can generate.
No one will dare to say that the time has come to write off the most unpredictable of the film makers in B-Town as we still have not forgotten ‘Bhoot’, and ‘Raat’.

unconventional for playback singing but the uniqueness of his voice has

something exclusive, like what he had done before by singing. We know
that all his fans would be eager to hear him sing, but will have to
wait until the music releases.
”It has been a wonderful
experience being associated with Balaji Motion Pictures in the past
with SHOOTOUT. I really liked the concept of the film C KKOMPANY and
the way they incorporated me to introduce the 3 protagonists in the
title song. I enjoyed the song when I heard it and also since it was
proposed by Mr. Ramesh Sippy who is like family, I immediately agreed
to do it. This is just the beginning of our long association.” Quips

The
plot of the film is based in Mumbai and revolves around three best
friends, the three underdogs of different age groups from a middle
class background, who are striving to achieve their respective dreams.
These three share their respective plight with one another and find
solace in each others company. C KKOMPANY is the journey of these 3
middle class men from their 300 sq. ft. flats to the corridors of the
parliament, and finally becoming heroes of the entire nation. One
harmless prank takes a 360 degrees U-turn in the lives of these three
characters, a situation that they never ever had imagined in their
lives. Things get beyond their control, and the three are left with no
choice but to be mute spectators to their newly acquired fame,
especially since no one knows their identity.
The film has
been produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. The music of the film
has been scored by Anand Raj Anand and legendry music director Bappi
Lahri’s son Bappa Lahri. The film involves many turn arounds and is a
full fledged comedy with excellent theme, which suits its punch line
reading as ”When Loosers…. Become Rulers.” C KKOMPANY is all set to
tickle the funny bones of the audience. It will be releasing on 22nd

Two faces of True Cinema: swapping between serious and comedy
Indian cinema has two faces and both try to
antagonize each other postures a tough face over their respective
perceptions about the idea implied as ‘true cinema’.
The antagonist side argues that a true cinema is the
one depicting life of the masses in a true sense; not like the one as
shown by the commercial flicks.
There are few best actresses in the Indian cinema
through out the changing generations and each of them anguished for a
commercial recognition at Pan
Actresses of yester years Shabana Azmi, Smitha
Patil, Rohini Hattangadi etc. revolving around various tasks with
different directors in the Parallel Movie segments.
Most of them had neither little nor no major
breakthrough in mainstream films, since the possibility of
accommodating them with in the realm of such movies as thought
‘limited.’
However, many popular actors and actresses were
successful while doing in reverse, for example Sharmila Tagore was
favored by ‘Maestro’ of Indian films Satyjit Ray for his films.
Intriguingly, some of them performed well in regional films too; to say Nandita Das roles in Tamil films, in particular.
Recently Raima Sen has said that she is tired of serious cinema and likes to have some fun and act par with age.
Actors like Sanjeev Kumar, even Amitabh has done
similar roles in serious films. Especially Amitabh paired with Hrikesh
Mukerjee for several of such films. These genres are addressing for
popular as well as serious audience, critically acclaimed.
Current trends slightly changes towards ’story-full’
or fleshy one to woo across the audience. Even films like ‘Black’ won
accolades internationally and at box office too.
Actors too willing to change their image not to restricted with in any commercial or serious face.

”I was shocked by people apathy” – Udita Goswami
Udita Goswami is shocked. And this has nothing to do with her stint in Bollywood. In fact this time around it is sheer lack of sentiments from people which has left a bad taste in her mouth.
The story goes like this. Apparently a few days back she came across a stray puppy near her apartment. Seeing it cry in pain, she enquired about the owner but realized that there was none. Also, from her fellow neighbours, she was informed that the puppy was in such a stage for last many days.
‘And to think about it, no one came forward to help it. How could people be so insensitive? I was shocked by people apathy’, exclaims Udita who is an avid dog lover and already owns three dogs.
‘On inspecting it further, I realized that she was unable to walk at all. Apparently there was some internal injury which had resulted in her being immobile. I was almost in tears when I carried her to a doc and requested him to inspect her further’, details Udita who promptly took the puppy home and made her a part of her extended family of dogs.
‘I started nurturing her and in a matter of two days, she was on her feet – Literally! I keep joking with my friends that perhaps she was just acting all this while because she was destined to join my family. Otherwise what else describes her miraculous recovery in 48 hours flat’, laughs Udita.
‘The dog is now closer to two months old but she is already bullying her much ’senior’ three dogs at my place. It is fun to watch them squabble over minor things. In fact I have also hired a trainer to make sure that my four dogs are well behaved’, says Udita with a smile.
‘Well, the funny part is that instead of the dogs being trained, I am being trained instead on how to understand what they want and to make them understand what I am looking from them. In any case, I am not looking at ‘Tommy, fetch this’ or ‘Mambo, sit down’ kind of commands for them. I want us all to talk and understand a common language and it comes so much handy when I reach back home after a hard day at work.’
Talking about the work front, Udita is currently acting in two films – THE MAN and FOX. Incidentally both the film stars Sunny Deol in the lead though Udita is not wiling to disclose whether she is paired opposite him in any of the two films. While THE MAN sees her in a special appearance, FOX features in a full fledged role. The films are directed by Sunny Deo/Neeraj Pathak and Deepak Tijori respectively.
