Rajat Kapoor’s upcoming release Ankhon Dekhi has grabbed attention with only his recently launched trailer. However, there is one particular scene in the film which has been inspired by real life enact.

Director, Rajat Kapoor who frequently passes through Versova circle has noticed a man who stands at a particular spot below a traffic signal holding a placard which reads, “Apne dharm par chalo, sabse prem karo.”  This man who is dressed in a white kurta and a dhoti stands at this particular spot everyday with absolute no selfish motives, holding the placard visible to the people passing the area. This interesting scenario caught Rajat’s attention and how. This man has been doing the same for a while now.

The director infact got inspired and decided to have the same scene in his film. Rajat has incorporated the scene so well in the film which also sets the tone on the film and Sanjay Mishra’s character. In the film, we will get to see Sanjay Mishra enacting the same scene. It was mere an observation that the director made a note off and has brilliantly integrated in the film.

Ankhon Dekhi is Rajats first film with songs

Rajat Kapoor's upcoming film Ankhon Dekhi is apparently his first film to have songs. The director who is known for his edgy films has always maintained to provide a certain kind of cinema to his audience.

None of his directorial ventures have songs unlike other Bollywood films. For the first time in his career as a director, he has included songs in the film, Ankhon Dekhi.

Ankhon Dekhi has around 5 full fledged songs which are mainly based on classical ragas. Each song in the film will convey a meaning which will depict about the situation.

In Rajat's previous films, he had played it so creatively that background music filled all the space. But In Ankhon Dekhi he felt that without songs, his film would have been incomplete.

*****

 

"Non-Stop" is a fast pace suspense thriller Liam Neeson cleverly portrays the role of a U.S. federal air marshal Bill Marks with great panache. The film starts with a takeoff to New York to London. In transit Marks starts to receive a string of ominous text messages, stating that a passenger will be killed every 20 minutes unless $150 million is transferred in an anonymous bank account. The mystifying killing starts subsequently of a passenger and the captain too.

The plot is intriguing enough to keep you hooked till the climax wondering who the killer is [also Neeson comes in the suspect at one point]. Directed By Jaume Collet-Serra "Non-Stop" gives you enormous amount of brain storms while watching the movie. While the unique concept is the major portion is shot inside the plane giving you the goose bumps in the bumpy ride. A substandard climax of the crash landing is a major disappointment as the poor quality VFX won’t miss your eyes. The suspense though gives you the paisa vasool fulfillment.
