Seen appreciating the art work and the models in Tanya Sharma’s creations were Sridevi and Jhanvi,  Armaan Jain,  Sanjay Gupta, Kunal Kapoor, Bijal Meswani, Nachiket Barve, Aly Morani, SHilpa Rao, Luv Singha, Azmina Rahimtoola, Ringzing D, Ambika Hinduja, Krishka Lulla, Nitin Virani amongs others.

 Reshma Jani of Gallerie Angel Arts says, “This show was a natural progression from our last show, which was Art&Music Unplugged. Both Art and Fashion are creative, inspirational and to do with aesthetics.  We wanted then to merge and create an experience of harmony between the two, so the show was conceptualised.”

 Anushka Rajan says "For me, Art and Fashion do at some level go hand in hand, I see art as the creation and fashion the expression. Merging these two passions of mine was something that got me really excited for this collaboration! Usually art showings don't really attract the youth of today. That's why we thought of adding the element of pop fashion with some vibrant canvases and edgy young sculptures. I chose artwork which I feel would interest the GenNext's of today! Being an art enthusiast from a very young age, promoting these phenomenal upcoming artists give me immense joy."

 ANIZ FILMVALA 

*****

 

Director Duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller & Jonah Hill actor and producer of this haphazard comedy thriller ‘22 Jump Street’ have just one thing to give the audience is Gloss but  no humor. The movie is a fancy satire of undercover cops who go bonkers while unearthing a drug racket.

Greg Jenko [Tatum] and Morton Schmidt [Hill] two undercover cops who are on a trail to bust drug deals on the street which are been sold for a peanut price. Deputy Chief Hardy [Offerman] gives them a new drug case under the watchfulness of not so good Captain Dickson [Ice cube]. Drug to be investigated is strangely called 'WHYPHY' as a secret short form to a college lingo work hard and play hard.

They split into a different group in college Jenko gets entrenched to a college stud Zook [Russell] as they bond over gym frenzy and flirting with girls. Schmidt dates Maya [Dickson] a poetry student and indulges in raw passion and intense conversations with her, to Schmidt horror Maya happens to be a teenage daughter of Dickson and all hell break lose when they gather for a parent meet at the college [Cube does one hilarious of a act when he reacts to the fact of his girl been screwed by Schmidt]

A riotous climax follows at an exotic beach with bikini babes cheering this duo to overcome the villainous attempt of Mercedes [Jillian Bell] and her partners who have come to distribute the drugs at the beach.

The movie is thoroughly loaded with deliberate gags and funny situation which will keep you in splits. The Music is a master stroke by Mark Mothersbaugh which keeps the movies rhythm on high octane and enjoyable to view. Jonah Hill is irresistibly funny and steals the show from his co actor Tatum. The end credits are not to be missed as there more fireworks in pipeline.

Shahid Kapoor's Tranformation

Shahid Kapoor's Tranformation

Shahid Kapoor seems to have undergone change especially when it comes to his on-screen persona between his last outing R…Rajkumar and his upcoming Haider

Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider, adaptation of Hamlet, has seen Shahid’s transform himself completely to get into the skin of his character for which he is getting appreciation from the industry. Director Vikas Bahl says, "It's wonderful to see how he gets into the skin of the character and constantly surprises us. Wanting to see him play Haider now."  Futher director-producer Karan Johar adds, "The film looks engaging and power-packed with drama and intrigue. It also appears to be Shahid's best celluloid work." From the first look of the film, it generated incredible grip online and on social networking sites

The actor is now being asked on how he got into the skin of his character, so much so that while he was in a meeting at a suburban five- star, a hotel guest disturbed the meeting to tell him how much he loved the trailer. Even his neighbours have been telling him about the trailer and how they are looking forward to the film. This has been encouraging Shahid, but the most important ones come from his father Pankaj Kapur, who said, "Haider is real, touching and explosive. I have not seen Shakespeare's Hamlet interpreted the way Vishal has in Haider. I am proud of Shahid's performance in it."

Haider starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu and Kay Kay Menon, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, produced under the banner of UTV motion picture is slated for 2nd october 2014 release
