For the first time, India’s No. 1 serum brand, Livon, unveils the international rage Morocco’s Argan Oil to Indian consumers

Mumbai, 2nd December 2014: Morocco’s Argan Oil has existed for centuries and has been the beauty secret of Moroccan women ever since. Very recently the world has got access to this closely guarded secret, making it an international rage. Even Hollywood celebrities are known to swear by its beauty benefits. For the first time in India, Livon brings Morocco’s most prized beauty secret to India - Livon Moroccan Silk Serum, enriched with Morocco’s Argan Oil.  With its fine balance of conditioning agents, the product has been made suitable for Indian hair. Worldwide known for its beautifying properties, Morocco’s Argan Oil is the revolutionary beauty booster in the glamour world.

Bollywood actresses Chitrangda Singh and Soha Ali Khan launched Livon Moroccan Silk Serum today in Mumbai. The new Livon Moroccan Silk Serum detangles your hair and prevents breakage so that you experience the beauty of smooth, silky and free flowing hair. Unlike other serums, this does not make your hair feel weighed down and sticky.

Complimenting this exceptional hair serum, Chitrangda Singh said, “With erratic work schedule, it becomes really difficult to manage my hair, but with Livon Moroccan Silk Serum, I don’t have to bother about my hair looking frizzy, unmanageable and tangled. The best part about this serum is that it is infused with the excellent conditioning properties of Morocco’s Argan Oil which makes my hair manageable at all times. Thanks to Livon for designing an ideal serum specifically for all Indian hair types.”

The actresses spoke about the goodness of Morocco’s Argan Oil and how it is a perfect beauty ingredient for nourished skin and gorgeous hair. While Soha shared her Moroccan voyage experience where she met some of the most beautiful women with fabulous skin and unbelievably beautiful hair and Chitrangda expressed her love for the nourishing Argan Oil.  

Soha Ali Khan, a travel lover who has visited Morocco is glad that now Indian women have access to this Morocco’s beauty secret spoke at the launch “I haven’t seen such beauty as I have in Morocco. A community called ‘Berbers’ are the only ones who have the expertise to extract Argan Oil from the Argan fruit.  Every one litre of Argan Oil takes close to 20 hours of extraction and cleansing process. So, it is not just time consuming but tedious as well.” 

She further went on to say “Such is the milieu of this traditional ingredient which has been a secret for years. And, today I am glad that Livon has launched the Moroccan Silk Serum in India. Now women have access to this beauty secret and can manage their hair better. I really couldn’t ask for more in a serum. This is truly a revolutionary product from the house of Livon.”

Akshay & Rana take on heat in the middle of the Desert for Tseries upcoming film BABY

Neeraj Pandey is known to make realistic films, he has never made any rulebook for himself and with a dare devil action hero as Akshay Kumar BABY is expected to push the limits.

We hear Neeraj Pandey took Akshay Kumar and Rana Daggubati all the way to the Abu Dhabi Desert to shoot some grueling and tiresome covert operation in the scorching heat.

“This 5 day long shoot was tough, the conditions were difficult but the segment was critical to the film. It was a tough shoot but the job had to be done and both the actors were at top of their game,“ reasons Neeraj.

Neeraj was very clear in the beginning that he wanted hard-hitting but subtle action with a touch of realism. “I didn't want people to go flying in the air.

Akshay admits that Neeraj has taken action to a different level altogether. “The role was physically demanding and the action was fast paced and real. It is not fancy or melodramatic because the film is about men on a mission, “he points out.

Rana too gave a hilarious answer on how the experience shooting in the scorching heat “shooting in the heat was one thing and shooting in the middle of a desert and doing action and wearing all black.  Now do.I have to say more???

Producer Bhushan Kumar who is quite elated to back this project said, “When I saw the final footages, I was amazed to see the action sequences performed in the gruesome heat of Abu Dhabi. The action scenes are fast paced and were shot par excellence in the scorching heat of the desert, the team along with their captain Neeraj have executed some edgy action sequences”.

Rajkumar Hirani is fond of different languages

Not many people know but the director, Rajkumar Hirani is very fond of different languages. India has numerous languages and the director finds them very fascinating.

The director tries to use them as a device in his films.

Rajkumar Hirani feels that unusual languages lend colour to a film and make them all the more interesting.

He uses different languages in his films to give it an authentic feel.

In Munnabhai MBBS and Lagey Raho Munnabhai, Raju Hirani used the typical Bombay Hindi while in his upcoming film P.K., Bhojpuri will be widely spoken.

Aamir Khan went to great lengths to learn Bhojpuri thoroughly and practice it well so that he could speak fluently in the correct accent.

The Bhojpuri language is a very important tool in P.K.

YEH KYA LOCHA HAI?

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai is the new title for director Devang Dholakia’s next. Previously titled Patel Rap, the film has already generated a lot of buzz due to it’s curious casting. After all, what possibly could a film featuring the sizzling Sunny Leone and the lovable Ram Kapoor paired opposite each other be about? Says Devang,” My film is a spicy sexy comedy. The situations and the jokes are bound to have the audiences in splits and it is our belief that no one will have seen Ram Kapoor and Sunny Leone in the avatars that they are going to be seen in in the film before. It’s too early to reveal the storyline of the film but we all know that the audiences will have as much fun watching it as we are having shooting it. “ And why the title change? Quips Devang, “We couldn’t have found a more apt title than Kuch Kuch Locha Hai. The film, it’s essence, its flavors are enunciated through the title without giving away too much about the film and trust me, our film is full of the most hilarious Locha’s!”

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai is touted as being Sunny Leone’s first full blown comic caper. Says Sunny, “ I am elated to be working with Devang again and am really excited about working with the super funny Ram Kapoor. Devang and I have a very special relationship, not just as friends but he is like my family! The whole team and I always have a great time shooting and I know that with Ram added to our already crazy mix, shooting for this film will be a blast. Ram is a revelation to work with. Not only are we laughing and joking around but Ram also shares valuable tips important for a film like ours and I consider myself lucky to be working with such an experienced actor.” Added Ram” When Devang narrated the film to me, I was falling of the seat laughing it was literally that funny, but what I also realized was that it was extremely relatable and I love taking up subjects that people can relate to. Devang himself has a fantastic sense of humor so it was pretty much a no brainer saying yes to doing this film. What I didn't know then and what has turned out to be the icing on the cake is that Sunny too has a great sense of humor and she's amazing to work with. We've just about started shooting and so far it's been an absolute blast!”

The film has already started shoot in the exotic locales of Malaysia where it will be wrapped up in a start to finish schedule. It is being presented by Alumbra Entertainment and Media Pvt Ltd and is being produced by Magic Pictures and Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Maximus Multimedia Pvt Ltd.

“ Said producer Mukesh Purohit Of Magic Pictures and Entertainment,” Kuch Kuch Locha Hai is an exciting film. From the casting to the locations to the music, it has all come together very well. Ram as a rich Gujrati businessman and Sunny as a famous film star and the situations they find themselves in lead to innumerable funny moments. Our direct, Devang Dholakia who himself is a Gujrati has bought alive the quirks and nuances of a typical dysfunctional family flawlessly and peppered it with his own unique brand of humor. Even though we are in the midst of shooting right now, we are already counting down the days to the release of the film. After all, laughter is most effective when it is shared!”

Ungli review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Ungli 

review by 

ANIZ FILMVALA 

*****

‘Good Samaritans’ Abhay[Hooda], Maya[Kangana], Goti[Neil Bhoopalam] and Kalim[Angad Bedi] are out to clean the system with ‘Ungli’ menacing with the culprits so that the departments and officials get to learn a lesson, a corruption free system that’s their motto.

Nikhil [Emraan Hashmi] is a cop in distress with aimless life; ACP Kale [Sanjay Dutt] gives him a task to unearth the Ungli Gang accordingly to achieve his lost credit in the Police force. As to locate the whereabouts of the Ungli Gang Nikhil himself stakes the claim of being a gang member and starts a fight against the dishonest bureaucrats and even a local Rikhshawala’s who repudiate a ride to Nikhil’s mother for a minimum distance as usual insist on a long journey, infuriated about the incident he forcibly dumps a auto driver in a train luggage compartment to Delhi.

As this turn into a volatile clash between the Ungli Gang and Nikhil they ultimately settle for an add-on and take the mêlée further.

Karan Johar production is on an experimental spree, with no novel treatment or a strong inspirational message also the film lacks a power house performance from an ensemble cast.

Sanjay Dutt as ACP Kale

sizzling chemistry between Nimrat Kaur & Parambrata Chatterjee

Guess who is the new couple on the block?

With unconventional pairing emerging as the latest trend in Bollywood, the newest couple to join the bandwagon is Nimrat Kaur of Lunchbox fame and critically acclaimed Bengali Actor and Director Parambrata Chatterjee, who was last seen in the blockbuster Kahaani. The couple was seen having loads of fun on the sets of their latest shoot. The video has already gone viral on the internet and is now set to hit the screens soon.           

We got a quick glimpse of the film and let us assure you, the sizzling chemistry between the couple is sure to leave you awestruck and asking for more. The film makes a sincere attempt at reminding couples who seem to have forgotten the significance of ‘touch’ in their relationship. While today, time is money and survival a necessity; our super busy lives keep us on our toes.  Who better to take for granted than our better half? In the process, we become over familiar with our partners, and in the rush to keep up with life, we most often forget how simple gestures like holding her hand to experience that magical touch, the way you used when watching a movie together goes a long way in keeping the spark alive...

Today, when the physical intimacy between couples is disappearing, a gentle ‘touch’ can go a long way in bringing back the lost spark and chemistry between couples. Watch the video to witness Nimrat and Parambrata bring back the ‘touch’.
