After Biopic It’s LS Elections for National Award Winner Swaroop

 

National Award winner Kamal Swaroop whose biopic Rangbhoomi based on the life of late Dadasaheb Phalke won a National Award is currently documenting the Lok Sabha Elections.

The film maker is currently in Varanasi where he is shooting a 90 minute documentary on the on going Lok Sabha Elections. "We are filming from 6 am till midnight, with three separate units tracking every party," he reveals.

The documentary titled Battle of Banaras is financed by a US Production House Medient...

 The film  tries to develop a connect between  Varanasi's mythological personality and the battle of ballots among BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Aam Aadmi Party's leader Arvind Kejriwal and Congress' candidate Ajay Rai who are contesting from the constituency.

"Fifty years from now, this fight will be looked back as an epic war. People will talk about it from a mythological point of view,” says Swaroop.

"The idea to make this film is also to understand the way the election machinery functions, the identity of the voters, the communal divide and how the local population is directly affected by the ones who will take charge” he adds.

He further says that though the nature of the film is political, he is apolitical as a person. "I am of the belief that whoever is in power will have a strong tendency to abuse it. But, people admire powerful people and choose to give them the power. In this case, there is so much of it centering on one person, that if he takes office, it will become impossible for him to contain it. Things will explode. More than showcasing an ideological conflict, I am curious to document the administration bit of this spectacle."

Swaroop, along with his crew will be in the holy city till May 20. "We are looking at a theatrical distribution as well as a festival run," he informs.

 *****

This time the friendly neighborhood Spiderman is going to sweep you out of your feet.

It’s big better and young-looking with nonstop entertainment, gravity-defying Spidermans swings the movie has it all to captivate your senses and keep you at the edge of the seat.

Director Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield have left no stone unturned to make this latest installment mighty amazing.

Nonstop street action, innovative gadget fights and spectacular visual effects will mesmerize you like never before.

This is an astonishing superhero film.

As the movie begans Scientist Richard Parker and his wife [spidey’s parents] are abducted by an unknown person to be killed. While on a charter plane Richard uploads a message of his innocence to a secret site as he violently struggles to send the message with the assailant their plane crashes in midair.

Peter Parker [Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man] son of Richard’s on a present day is out to chase a villain who has a truck containing plutonium vials,In a massive pandemonium Spider-Man rescues the truck,this is one hell of a street action which makes it the highlight of the movie.

While talking to Gwen Stacy [spidey’s love Emma Stone] he has to reach their high school graduation ceremony and as usual he arrives at nick of a time.

Max [Jamie Foxx as Electro] who was saved by the Spider-Man during the mayhem works at OsCorp,while on a maintenance visit at the lab he accidentally falls into a genetically modified fish tank,as the Eels attack him he transforms into a living electric generator Electro.

Meanwhile Harry Osborn [Dane DeHaan] also a childhood friend of Spiderman returns to Manhattan to see his father breaths his last while dying he gives him the device of his lifetime invention and Harry is appointed the new OsCorp CEO.

Max strolls into Times Square and unintentionally causes a power shutdown but the police force shoots at Max pissing him of his mind and making him extremely lethal. Spider-Man ultimately ends the anarchy with spraying water on him and Max is taken to Ravencroft Institute.

Harry's ill health forces him to use the device which his father gave him to construe that Spider-Man's blood can save him. As he is on trail to find Spider-Man Peter tells him that he may have adverse reaction to the effects of transfusion.

Max's accident helps him to make a deal with Max to get him out to destroy the venoms of genetically altered spiders.Electro causes another blackout and begins the fight of SpiderMan to save New York City by Electro who creates an explosion by overloading his electricity supply.Yet again the people of manhattan sigh a relief from the super power of spidey.

But this time spidey has big loses and huge challenges to save the world from the evil powers.

At the end Spider-Man is back to what he does a friendly neighborhood in all the bad times. Just don’t miss it.
