“Mumbai ki Rani” is celebrating her 10th Anniversary

Mumbai, 05^th August, 2015:- On completing ten years at RED FM and having taken on numerous challenges over the past decade, Malishka has now invited her listeners to throw any exciting challenge her way – something they feel she hasn’t done in so many years. She will be taking up 10 such challenges and executing them. While the listeners are calling in with hundreds of challenges every day, for now she has successfully completed three challenges. She jogged in Dharavi (she usually jogs in Bandra) and was accompanied by lots of kids from Dharavi, who took her to various lanes in Dharavi and shared their stories. She ate a “Mawali Bhai dish” which was a Manchurian Cheese Cake and she also travelled by a Local train with Shibani Kashyap from Lower Parel to Churchgate and back.

Synonymous with Radio in Mumbai and arguably the best known RJ in India, Malishka has been responsible for changing the game of Radio. When people thought radio was only about playing songs and talking about the musicians involved in the making, Malishka and RED FM started the revolution of ‘Provocative Entertainment’. She not only played the biggest super hits but took to challenges that brought her head-on with stars and authorities alike; becoming the voice of the people of Mumbai. In the ten years with 93.5 RED FM, she has literally become “Mumbai Ki Rani”.

Join her in the exciting trail of challenges and congratulate her on completing her 10 years at RED FM.

Cast     :     Tom Cruise,Jeremy Renner,Simon Pegg,Rebecca Ferguson,Ving Rhames,Sean Harris & Alec Baldwin

Director Christopher McQuarrie helm’s the fifth installment of Mission: Impossible series which promises all, extraordinary pace, mind boggling stunts, meticulous characterization and magnanimous action designed. Tom Cruise as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt hits the bull’s eye as he gives the franchise a new birth with his vigor and proficiency to re-energize the role.

Two hours plus the film will swoop you out your feet and leave you on the edge of the seat with its universal appeal, yeah full on commercial entertainment with just one big significance of enthralling the audience showing them out of the world entertainment. That's the kind of film and the Hollywood pasha's are well aware what the world audience wants.

In nutshell the IMF is in scatter and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out of sync, the squad now has a challenge to create a network of highly accomplished special agents. Now these highly skilled operatives are hell-bent on bringing a parallel order through an increasing series of terrorist attacks. Ethan thus have a mission to gather his team and join the forces with disowned British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, and the group have to visage their most impossible mission yet to come.

Please put your brain behind and get set for some nonstop exhilaration but come out with no comments and critical reaction, one helluva of a movie not to be missed….

The first look of Vijayta Productions' AYE WATAN

 The first look of Vijayta Productions'  AYE WATAN was held at First Look Preview Theatre,Laxmi Industries Compound, Andheri,Mumbai  on 3rd August. Among the celebrity guests who attended were actor-politician Baldev Khosa,veteran filmmakers J.P. Dutta and K.C. Bokadia, action master Mohan Baggad, sound recordist Butaa Singh, producer Naresh Mohnot ,Sudarshan Rattan ( of HAHAKAAR fame), lyricist Naqsh Layalpuri ( who has written the songs in this film), music director Jaidev Kumar and the main cast of the film alongwith director Tarun Waadhwa ( who took  leave for few hours  from the sets of KALASH , a tele-serial from Balaji which Tarun is directing.  ). 

VED RAM GANDHI ( Producer ) : I was extremely fascinated with the script of AYE WATAN and also director Tarun Waadhwa did full justice to our vision. My daughter Vijayta Gandhi is the creative director and gave lots of inputs to the film which helped us all to make it a great patriotic film. I am happy that Balkishan Shrivastav took extra pains to release the film and we are all set to watch my dream project AYE WATAN coming before the paying audiences on 14th August. Janata is the Janardhan.

J.P. DUTTA: Ved Ram Gandhi has been associated with me for the past 30 years and he has always been focussed in the problems faced by producers during the shoot, after the shoot, post=production problems and he has literally made AYE WATAN single handedly. For me, freedom means not sitting on our heads. You know very well who has sat on our heads for so many years before India gained Independence. AYE WATAN looks very promising to me and the whole team has done full justice to the film. I feel.

K.C. BOKADIA: I was literally happy to see the dream of Ved Ji coming true as his film AYE WATAN is finally releasing on 14th August.  Tarun Waadhwa has done a fantastic job as the director and I think AYE WATAN will do wonders, if properly released.The first look of the film has shocked me as the sacrifices done by the great leaders of India still has a big hangover in my mind.  Tarun Khanna as Bhagat Singh has impressed me a lot. Even Samrat Mukherji as Chandrashekhar Azaad has done wonders in this film. I have literally seen Samrat growing before my eyes and he ued to come to Filmalays Studios where I used to shoot most of my 50 films and meet his father Ronu and Chachajis Joy, Shomu,Debu and Shubir.

TARUN WAADHWA: After I directed films like ANYAY HI ANYAY, BASTI and BHAGWAN AMARNATH, I got the offer from Ved Ram Gandhi who had signed Kuku Kohli to direct.But in a trial show of BASTI, he was floored by the reaction and also the film had done very well at the box-office and I got the chance to direct AYE WATAN.BHAGWAN AMARNATH had done a business of Rs. 3 crore in Gujarat alone where it was tex-free. On the sets of AYE WATAN, each and every actor and technician cooperated with Ved Ram Gandhi and me to the hilt. Ved Ram Gandhi is one of the best persons in the film industry too and he has the knack of doing great things. I give him full creditto Ved Ram Gandhi for taking all the pains to release the film on 14th August in such a big way. I feel, the youth of the country must come in a big way to make the film a big success.I am also directing KALASH, for producers Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor which is on air in Life O.K. from Mondays to Fridays. Since the past 7 years, I have been working very hard for the serials of Balaji.I am greatly indebted to Jeetendra's family as they have given me work when I was totally down in my career and they always will help me, I am sure. 

VIJAYTA GANDHI:(Daughter of Ved Ram Gandhi) I have literally seen my father slogging so hard on and off the sets of AYE WATAN. I learned so many things from him and also director Tarun Waadhwa who has made a gripping patriotic family drama which is also technically a brilliant film. Today's youth must know how hard it was for India to gain independence and the great sacrifices done by Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azaad,Sukhdev, Rajguru ,Lala Lajpat Rai etc. In fact, nowadays people want to know what happenned before 1947 and how our independent country was born on 15th August. The release date of 14th August is very timely and we are all going to the cinema halls to clap for whatever we all did to bring the film before the paying audiences.

GOVIND NAMDEV: I play the role of Lala Lajpat Rai in AYE WATAN. I ws shooting the scene of my torture where I get beatings on my head and I ultimately die. I was shocked that Lala Lajpat rai must have faced so much pains and I cried a lot on the sets. I must admit that director Tarun Waadhwa and action master Mohan Baggad did a very fine job that day and they are very sensitive people too. It makes a great sense to act in films depicting freedom movement and I am proud to be associated with AYE WATAN.

TARUN KHANNA: I have played the role of Bhagat Singh who is immortal. It was a golden opportunity for me to play this great man's role. The sacrifices of Bhagat Singh is a story retold thousand times in every home in India and even abroad. I hope now this film will move the audiences too and I am eagerly waiting for the film's release. Hats off to director Tarun Waadhwa who in a very limited budget has made such a wonderful patriotic drama.

SAMRAT MUKHERJI: My role of Chandrashekjhar Azaad is very unforgettable in this film. I have read several stories of the freedom movement but the one which clings to my heart is the one where the Bhagat Singh chapter begins and all those who helped him in the freedom struggle. My parents feel very proud of me whenever I speak of AYE WATAN. Producer ved ram gandhi has also struggled a lot and I have seen him coming to Filmalaya Studios for the past 40 years. He deserves all the salutes. Also, I must admit that director Tarun Waadhwa has managed to make such a gripping, patriotic film within the given budget. He is truly a producer's director. 

BALKISHAN SHRIVASTAVA( World Distributer): When I saw the film AYE WATAN, I was wonder-struck with the execution of director Tarun Waadhwa who must get big budgetted films now as he is a fantastic director. Since AYE WATAN is now finally set for release on 14th August all over, I am now trying my best to get the best chain of cionemas as this film richly deserves to be seen by the youth especially who are lovers of the country as India has got its independence by the blood and soul of people like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru,Chandrashekhar Azaad, Sukhdev etc.

EDITOR’S NOTES

About Satya Paul:

Established in 1985, Satya Paul is India’s premier design label with an international presence. The brand is acclaimed for ingenuity in design and a vivid color palette. As part of Genesis Colors since 2001, the brand has grown from strength to strength and is now present at over 30 offline locations in India and abroad. In the online space, the brand retails at key e-commerce websites like Amazon, Myntra and Jabong.

Started at a time when there was little or no awareness about fashion or the idea of designer brands in India, Satya Paul introduced the idea of choreographed collections and modern ethnic wear. The brand’s take on print innovations did not only change the way the consumer previously looked at Sarees, but also developed a specific niche for concept-based designs. Women no longer restrict themselves to hereditary Banarasis and Chanderis; and Satya Paul has been instrumental in this bringing about this change with the new-age Saree, which is easy to wear and chic.

Ltd. is the holding company of several well-known Indian fashion brands - Satya Paul, Bwitch (premium lingerie) and the International accessory major Tie Rack London.

Randeep to move into his own house

Randeep Hooda, who has just returned from Malaysia after a two-month long shoot schedule of Deepak Tijori's Do Lafzon Ki Kahani, and is currently gearing up for the Toronto premiere of his Deepa Mehta film, Beeba Boys in September, had also been house-hunting since the past few months.

And the actor’s search has finally come to an end. Randeep has finally found a house of his own. The Highway star admits that he’s been a free spirit all his life, but now, it’s time to put down his roots and be a son to his parents. 

Randeep shares that he was actually quite keen on buying his current apartment that he had rented as he calls it his ‘lucky flat’. However, since the owner is not interested in selling the flat, Randeep has found another apartment in the same building, a few floors above. He says, “Candy (his canine pet) and I will move up in the new flat, but I’ll continue to rent this pad for my parents. This way I can ensure that they are comfortable and my family is around me.”

When further asked, now that he’ll have his own house soon, isn’t it time to start the hunt for a Mrs Hooda too? He laughs and says, “Candy is quite enough for now, thank you.”
