Mallika Sherawat scorches with Tawe Pe Jawani.

‘Ghagra’ song from K C Bokadia’s Dirty Politics has been applauded by viewers. Staying true to the term ‘ghagra’ the song is really making the rounds on the internet and television alike, the lyrics of the song catching on effectively, ‘Ghagre mein ghamasaan…’

Seeing the overwhelming response the song has garnered, filmmaker K C Bokadia has gone ahead and recorded one more song to add to the album, which was initially supposed to have only two songs. The new adition is ‘Tawa pe jawani…’ which will again see Mallika Sherawat sizzling it out.

KC Bokadia’s Dirty Politics, starring Om Puri, Anupam Kher, Naseeruddin Shah, Jackie Shroff, Ashutosh Rana, Govind Namdeo, Atul Kulkarni, Shushant Singh, Rajpal Yadav and Mallika Sherawat, is releasing on 6th March 2015.

-Well talk about professionalism and this is one actress who is up for it! Kudos to Sunny!

ANIZ FILMVALA

***** 

‘Transporter’ Jason Statham disappoints he is not his usual i.e. less words more action. Statham takes a dive into a foray which dispels his smart action technique vehemently. ‘Wild Card’ Directed by Simon West is a story less with some state of the art action designed to catch the frenzies of Statham’s followers may work as the film's USP to generate buzz as the stars stylish action cleverness.

Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is a habitual gambler from Las Vegas is on a job by self-made millionaire Cyrus Kinnick (Michael Angarano), to show him around Vegas and give him protection while he gambles. Meanwhile he is burdened by his friend Holly (Dominik Garcia-Lorido) horrific incident of a rape assault by Danny DeMarco (Milo Ventimiglia) ever since she desires to take the revenge, Nick has to make possible to get the assailant on her feet and he succeeds and lets Holly to settle her anger and they also steal the money from DeMarco.
Back to a casino with Cyrus, Nick gambles with his half of DeMarco’s stolen money and is on a winning streak but loses all due to a sudden anxiety attack.

The predicament about the revenge attack on DeMarco comes up to the big daddy of criminal world Baby (Stanley Tucci) but as Nick confronts Baby that DeMarco is mendaciously concealing the truth and actual fact being he had raped Holly and the consequences followed thus not being convinced about the whole incident Baby concludes that DeMarco is lying and lets Nick go free. This leads to more chaos as DeMarco vows on to take the revenge and leaves.

Nagesh Kukunoor’s next, Dhanak

Nagesh Kukunoor’s next, Dhanak produced by Manish Mundra is the only Indian film to be selected in the 65th Berlin Film Festival

—It is the only Indian feature selected in the festival and will compete in the Generation Kplus category against films selected from across the world—

Mumbai, February 2, 2015: Nagesh Kukunoor’s next Dhanak (Rainbow) which is co-produced by Manish Mundra, Nagesh Kukunoor and Elahe Hiptoola will have its world premiere at the upcoming prestigious film festival, Berlinale to be held from February 5-15th, 2015. 

It is the only Indian feature selected in the festival and will compete in the Generation Kplus category against films selected from across the world.

Like Iqbal, Dhanak also explores the beautiful relationship of a brother and sister and the central character suffers from a disability, but in a dramatically diverse setting.

The film is about an eight-year-old blind boy whose 10-year-old sister promises him that he will get his vision back before he turns 9. The film follows the duo on a magical journey through the sand dunes of Rajasthan.

This is also Nagesh’s second film with children after the much acclaimed Rockford.

Nagesh who had promised himself that he wouldn’t attend Berlinale till one of his films makes it to the festival is glad that he is finally going there with one of his most special films, Dhanak.

He says, “It is a true honor to head to a festival that you've respected all your life. Dhanak's journey has been nothing short of magical and we're going to carry that lovely warmth of Rajasthan into cold Berlin and have a blast!

The producer Manish Mundra who came to the limelight as a man behind the critically acclaimed and award winning film, Ankhon Dekhi and the man who contributed 50 lakhs to Mumbai Film festival is ecstatic about Dhanak’s world premiere at such a prestigious festival.

Manish who also co-produced Umrika which has won the Audience Award in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition section of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, says, "Being invited to the prestigious Berlinale as a producer of Dhanak is a proud moment for me. We have hired one of the top Publicist to promote our film at the festival."

He adds, "Dhanak is a beautiful story of the magical journey of a brother and sister. I showed the film to my children and they absolutely loved it. I really hope the audience in Berlin like it
too."

Elahe who has partnered with Nagesh Kukunoor on many films says, “Dhanak is more special as a film because literally it was made with a lot of love. The protagonists are two little children and during the shoot there were times when one had to become a parent before producer and dad before director. The story is about a Magical Journey and what better way to begin the journey other than Berlinale. Let the Magic begin!”

Nagesh is available for an interview on Feb 3rd and 4th, before he leaves for Berlin. Please let us know if you want to speak to him. 

Sarah Jane has the support of all her friends from the music industry

Sarah feels fortunate to have had her music career be supported by some of the industry big-wigs, all of who are very well established in the music scene. “I am in the process of recording more songs which will form an album and I feel very supported having had the acceptance from some of the biggest names in music, Ankur Tiwari, Vishal Dadlani, Sid Cuotto and Mickey McCleary.”

Sarah Jane Dias is turning a new leaf in her career with the foray into indie music. Not wanting to lend her voice to something that’s run of the mill, Sarah waited for many years before mustering the courage to show the world her vocal skills. Her first song which she herself has co-written, “Forgot to be Me” will be premiered on MTV Indies in February and will mark the beginning of a passion career that she hopes to build over a period of time. The video has been put together by Sarah and directed too by her. The journey to have this come through would have been incomplete for her without the support of her friends and thus Arunoday Singh, Sapna Bhavnani and VJ Bani came forth to gracefully star in her video. The video was shot in Mumbai and has been shot artistically in complete black and white canvas to represent the lyrics of the song which speak of a heartbreak. 

“I have been wanting to make my own music all my life but was being patient with the creative process because I think, my personal expression deserved it. “Forgot to be me” would not have been possible without the support of my friends and family. It was incredible of Sapna, Bani and Arunoday to come forth and feature in my first video.

Radhika Apte did Hunterr for its edgy script

She's paired opposite gulshan devaiah. And the film is produced by Anurag Kashyap and Phantom films.

Rdhika Apte is one actress who for sure loves to do challenging roles.Apte who is keenly waiting for the release of Badlapur will also soonbe seen opposite Gulshan Devaiah in a film titled Hunterrr which releases on March 20th.

The film is produced by Anurag Kashyap andPhantom films and is directed by debutant Harshwardhan Kulkarni.

Radhika is particularly excited about Hunterrr as she feel its that kind of a dramedy that people haven't seen so far.

While the filmdeals with a lot of sex, Radhika feels that is where the humour of the film lies subtly. Speaking on the occasion of the trailer beinglaunched yesterday digitally, Radhika said, "When I read the script of Hunterrr, I had my mouth open in shock through the time.

 But I think was the best part of if. The edginess of the movie brings out some great and not on the face humour. 

The unapologetic approach of the movie's story is something that really appealed to me and I am excited to see what people think of it. Its definitely one of those really
crazy films one will see".

Hunterrr dedicated to Lord Kamdev

When it comes to Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl all you can expect is quirky surprises. This time the trio has decided to do something unimaginable.

The trio has been seen working on their production’s upcoming release Hunterrr.  Hunterrr is a quirky, coming of age film which revolves around an unassuming sex addict and his lustful journey in life.

Going with the theme and the story line of the film the trio have decided to use a very different religious emblem in the film.

Mostly films in Bollywood show the picture of a God as a dedication like Ganesh, Shiv, or one of the Goddesses in the beginning. For the first time in Indian cinema a film will have an emblem of Lord Kamdev in the beginning of the film.

Anurag, Vikramaditya and Vikas are keen to dedicate the entire film to Lord Kamdev who is the god of sex and love.

The debut director of Hunterrr Harshavardhan Kulkarni, who was an assistant director on Hasee Toh Phasee has been very excited about the idea. 

The team is currently working on a special slide with Kamdev and soon will have it attached in the film.
