Jee Karda song from Badlapur to be launched before the song video!!

The makers of Badlapur have just released the teaser of their forthcoming revenge drama and it has already gone viral on the social network. Starring Varun Dhawan, the teaser has become a rage owing to its unconventional approach and Varun's killer looks, (a little literally too).

Apparently  the background song ‘Jee Karda’ which is a part of the teaser has also been garnering a lot of interest amongst movie enthusiasts, particularly Varun Dhawan's fan base. Thus going by the popularity of the song, in an unprecedented move by any production house in the industry,  the makers have decided to release the audio of the song before releasing the video. 

Varun says, "Jee karda is a rare gem. Divya's voice and Sachin Jigar have created something special. So when Dinoo said lets just give the audio out I was convinced because I believe this song will work purely because of the emotional poetry the song has which explains the entire film. I'm very thankful to Sriram and entire team of Badlapur for this song and now everyone will get to hear it.
The response to the track in the teaser was very strong so I know there is a demand for this song"

Dinoo further adds, "Music has been the backbone of all our films and Jee Karda is mine and Sachin Jigar's favourite track in Badlapur, with the kind of reaction Jee kar da has received in the short span that it played in the teaser and the way the online community has appreciated the track we felt it would be a great idea to launch the audio way before the video release thereby breaking tradition”

While the song audio will be available on leading music websites on 9th December , the video will be released early January. Well, this is a new way of marketing the songs, and we are rather impressed!!

Produced by Maddock films and Eros International, Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film features Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in pivotal roles. Badlapur is slated to hit theatres on 20th Feb next year.  

Shaukeens' actress Vandita to be seen in Shamitabh

Achieves A-wishlist of working with Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar & Amitabh Bachchan

Vandita Shrivastava, an MBA and Corporate Professional turned actress and model, will be soon seen in R Balki's forthcoming film "Shamitabh" starring Amitabh Bachchan. With this role, the 5 feet 7 inches tall actress, who found her passion in being infront of the camera, has achieved her A-wishlist of working with Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan (and of course Anupam Kher and Anu Kapoor in "Shaukeens").

The daughter of an Army officer, Vandita feels blessed to have experienced life in different cities and holds very high regards for the Defence Forces.

This intuitive actress, who is often mistaken for Sangeeta Bijlani or Chitrangada, is keen to take the mantle of doing intense roles a la the late Smita Patil. She got into offbeat mainstream films such as Vishal Bhardwaj's film "Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mann Dola" and Reema Kagti's "Talaash". However, she charted a totally commercial path by working in the just released Akshay Kumar film ‘The Shaukeens’.

Imagine rejecting three of the most talented actors in Bollywood – that is exactly what Vandita did in a role. The scene is significant in the plot because its aftermath propels the protagonists to take a decision to leave India and head to greener pastures abroad in Mauritius to pursue their aspirations.

She says talking about her experiences. “The scene was shot with all 3
actors Anuji, Anupamji and Piyushji. My main interaction during the shoot was with Anuji. Apart from being one of the most versatile and celebrated actors that we have ever had, he is also a very down to earth and spirited person. He made us feel very comfortable during the shoot as it wasn’t easy for us to shoot with three senior actors. He was very accommodating and patient and has a great sense of humour and would make us laugh during the shoot! Anupamji is super talented and everyone’s all time favourite actor, but unfortunately I did not get a chance to interact with him during the shoot. Piyushji is a lovely person and apart from being a great actor, i am a bigger fan of the amazing singer that he is!”

Brief bio and profile of Vandita

This April born model & actress, is carving her own niche in tinsel town. Meet the enigmatic Vandita Shrivastava… who has done Movies, Short Films, Print Ads, TVCs, Catalogue shoots, Runway et al.

Endowed with a plethora of expressions, her look, feel and persona transforms with each character or get-up and makes her stand out in a world wherever wants to look the same! And yet her slim and slender frame
(inspite of being a gourmet) is the kind of personality that many mainstream actresses crave for!

She adores SRK for his Charisma and Wit; John for his charm & simplicity; Salman for Being a great Human, Akshay for his fitness and energy; Anu Kapoor and Paresh Rawal for superb comedy timing! She feels all of them are great actors and would love to work with all of them if she gets the chance.

The daughter of an armed forces official, Vandita brings a diligent discipline to her performance even though she doesn’t claim to be a method actor. She claims that the camera sets her free to explore a world beyond boundaries wherein her creativity transcends the divide between real life and reel life!

Unlike others who deploy multiple performances to define their body of work, Vandita is looking for one high impactful performance that will etch her mark in the sands of time. And she believes that it is just around the corner…

Exodus: Gods and Kings review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Exodus: Gods and Kings

review by

ANIZ FILMVALA

*****

"‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ Directed by Ridley Scott is a gargantuan take on the biblical interpretation, the evacuation [Exodus] of the Hebrews from Egypt led by Moses.

Egyptian King Pharaoh Ramses [Joel Edgerton - the most excellent face of Exodus] a rotten ruler and the heir to the Egyptian throne is Moses’s step brother and is against the migration of 600,000 Hebrew slaves. The rebellious leader Moses rises up against the Egyptian Empire.

Unlike the Cecil B. De Mille’s The Ten Commandments (1923 film) the Moses story only takes up to a modern setting involving living by the lessons of the Ten commandments. Two brothers make opposite decisions, one follows his mother's teaching of the Ten Commandments and becomes a poor carpenter, and the other takes up the evil way to rise on the top.

This one does not begin at the beginning but pitches us into the middle of the hostilities between the two Brothers. Throughout the film, the visual are outstandingly done but the principal cast has performed inconsistently. Scott’s flamboyance for widescreen metaphors and the addition of 3D technology makes Exodus a vivid biblical tale.

The battle scenes and the curses of God are scary as the mighty desolation of Nile turns blood red thus causing a mass overflowing of dead fish and the frogs come out in millions from bottom to top therefore their dead flesh attracts ample of flies which causes the deadliest skin syndrome.

Ultimately it’s the parting of the Red Sea sequence [if experienced in IMAX] which is appealing, done with spectacular visual drama and sound effects which will keep you on edge of the seat.

•       Albert R. Broccoli’s 007 Stage: The world famous 007 stage at Pinewood was built in 1976 for the Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me. After a search across Europe, the Bond producers failed to find a stage large enough to house the three submarines the scene required, so they decided to build a new stage and tank specifically for that film.  The 007 stage remains one of the largest sound stages in the world.
