Interstellar review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Interstellar
review by
ANIZ FILMVALA
*****


‘Interstellar’ Directed by Christopher Nolan the genius who has given ‘Inception’ and many of the ‘Batman’ series creates a space-epic with magnificent visualization and a voyage to the stars with taxing to understand.

The film features a team of space travelers who travel through a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet. Crops are ravaged by disfigurement dust storms and mankind has to leave the planet for search survival.

Cooper [McConaughey] a former NASA pilot and farmer lives with his family, his ten year-old daughter Murph believes their house is preoccupied by a ghost that is trying to converse to her. Cooper discovers that the "ghost" is an unidentified shape of intellect sending those oblique messages by means of gravitational waves altering the dust on the floor, directing them to a secret NASA installation led by Professor Brand [Michael Caine]. Cooper and his co pilots Doyle [Bentley], Romilly [Gyasi], Brand alluring daughter Amelia [Hathaway] and TARS [Irwin] multi-purpose robot are recruited to pilot Endurance, an experimental spacecraft in search of a possible habitat where human can continue to exist.

The space expedition goes through some mind boggling encounters especially a sea storm is an edge of the seat experience. German music composer Hans Zimmer creates atmospheric rhythmic resonance of the space. Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey [Dallas Buyers Club] yet again gives a stellar performance.

The film is not about any space thrills or a fantasy characters but an ominous insight into the galaxy with realistic approach and a experience for a brain drain.

Starring:   
Matthew McConaughey
Anne Hathaway

तेवर के लिए अर्जुन कपूर ने २५ दिनों तक की कबड्डी की प्रैक्टिस।




आगमी तेवर इस फिल्म में कबड्डी के सीन फिल्माये गए और इस सीन में सभी असल कबड्डी  खिलाडीयो के साथ ही यह सीन फिल्माये गए है।  इस फिल्म में अर्जुन को भी कबड्डी का ही खिलाडी दिखना था तथा उनके जैसे ही खेलना था तो क्या पुरे २५ दिनों तक अर्जुन इन सभी कबड्डी के खिलाड़ियों के साथ कबड्डी की प्रैक्टिस करते रहे और उसके बाद यह सीन फिल्माया गया।  कबड्डी के प्रैक्टिस के लिए निर्माता बोनी कपूर के ऑफिस के पीछे एक पिच बनायीं गयी जहा कबड्डी की प्रैक्टिस हर रोज चलती थी। 

बैंक चोर में विवेक ओबेरॉय का लुक रामलखन के अनिल कपूर के लुक से प्रेरित है।


विवेक ओबेरॉय अनिल कपूर और उनके काम का बहुत आदर करते है,हालही में अनिल कपूर और विवेक के बीच अच्छी बॉन्डिंग हुई जब वे श्रीलंका में हीरू गोल्डन फिल्म अवार्ड में दोनों ने एक साथ परफॉर्म किया। 

अनिल कपूर और विवेक की यह बॉन्डिंग बैक स्टेज भी दिखी यह दोनों कलाकार अपने आगमी प्रोजेक्ट्स तथा फिल्मो के बारे में बात की जहा आज कल विवेक बढ़ी मुछो के साथ नजर आरहे है,यह लुक उनकी आगामी फिल्म बैंक चोर के लिए है। यह लुक रामलखन इस फिल्म में अनिल कपूर के लुक से काफी मेल खाता है। 

आस्चर्य की बात है की रामलखन इस फिल्म में अनिल कपूर एक पुलिस इंस्पेक्टर बने थे और विवेक ओबेरॉय भी बैंक चोर इस फिल्म एक इंस्पेक्टर ही है। 

विवेक कहते है "  असल लखन से मिलना बढ़िया रहा यह मुलकात काफी अच्छी रही। अनिल कपूर एवेर ग्रीन है ,वे कई जनरेशन्स को इंस्पायर करते रहे है।

ANNIE Trailer



Genre: Drama; Musical 
Director: Will Gluck         
Cast: Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhané Wallis, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, David Zayas and Cameron Diaz   

A Broadway classic that has delighted audiences for generations comes to the big screen with a new, contemporary vision in Columbia Pictures’ comedy, Annie. Academy Award® nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who’s also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they’d be back for her someday, it’s been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). But everything’s about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) – advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) – makes a thinly veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he’s her guardian angel, but Annie’s self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it’s the other way around.        

Suspect involved in hate campaign against Satyamev Jayate nabbed

A team of cops from the city recently nabbed a man allegedly involved in a smear campaign against the Aamir Khan’s issued-based show Satyamev Jayate.

The police displayed excellent acting skills as they zeroed in on the 32-year-old suspect from Udaipur. After learning that a man involved in a similar hate campaign had been arrested from Karnataka, the suspect had changed his address. Posing as his friends, the cops tracked down the location of the suspect.

Once the police got the internet protocol address of the computer that was used allegedly by the suspect to post derogatory information about the funds, generated through SMSes sent on the number given on the show, on a website www.speakingtree.com, a police team was sent to Udaipur to trace the suspect.

"On reaching suspect's Udaipur address, we learnt that he had sold his house for Rs 1.25 crore. We made inquiries and found that his grandfather had just passed away. Since we didn't have his new address, we told one of his old neighbours that we were his friends and wanted to attend the condolence meeting. The locals helped us gain entry to his house," said an officer from the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC) and who was part of the team that apprehended the suspect.

The officer added that once the suspect arrived at the meeting, the policemen identified themselves and caught him. "He told us that when he learnt about the arrest of the Karnataka-based accused, he shifted his base thinking that he would help him evade arrest," the officer said.

In March, Aamir Khan had met Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sadanand Date and briefed him about "false and malicious messages" being circulated on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp and said that they were damaging his image and the reputation of his show. Date had then asked the CCIC to look into the matter. Investigation revealed that there were multiple smear campaigns against Satyamev Jayate.

"In first instance, a malicious blog was written, giving negative publicity to the show. In that case, we traced the suspect Ajit Vadakayil, 58, to Karnataka. Vadakayil, a retired merchant navy captain, admitted to have written the alleged post in 2010-11. He also claimed that he had done some research on the issue before posting it on social media. However, he later realised that his research was wrong and regretted his action. Vadakayil was arrested in April and a charge sheet was filed against him," the officer said.

New Delhi, 4th November 2014: “Khamosh! Adalat Jaari Hai” is a Vijay Tendulkar classic social satire which portrays the hypocritical face of the Indian society.

Displaying kd (41).JPG
Parineeti made her debut in bollywood with YRF's Ladies VS Ricky Bahl opposite Ranveer Singh. 

Both the actors, being jovial and full of life, had a crazy time on the set.

Starting their careers in Bollywood around the same time, Parineeti and Ranveer have grown up together as actors.

Yet again, after 3 years, the actors have got a chance to work together in Kill Dil. 

Parineeti is happy to the fact that in Kill Dil , the actors will be sharing screen space as each others love interests, unlike LVRB, where only Parineeti falls in love with Ranveer. 

Parineeti did a cameo role in LVRB , but in Kill Dil , she has got a chance to play a lead role opposite the debut hero. Not every actor gets a chance to work again with their debut actor, within such a short span of their career.
 
Shooting together for the second time, the two of them had a comfort level where they got to draw more platform from each other as actors.

They are currently busy promoting Kill Dil , that releases on November 14.
