Director Sammir I Patel’s short film ‘p f a: Love Mom and Dad’ received praise at prestigious film festivals
Mumbai. Parents always serve as role models to their children. Parenting has also differed sharply from the past. Like-wise as the children grow up, there is a distant relationship between the parents and the children. In recent years, the relationship between parents and children has profoundly changed. Most of the new generation youngsters hardly find time for their parents and look after their needs during their old age.Young and talented filmmaker Sammir I. Patel has made a short film on this subject. Titled as ‘p f a: Love Mom and Dad’ the film in Hindi and English features Yusuf Hussain and Rishi Saxena in its cast. The English version of this short film is complete and is being planned to take it across various International film festivals. Meanwhile, the short film in Hindi version was screened at U.S. Film Festival,Goa Film Festival and Kashmir International Film Festival and received appreciation too. Looking at the positive reception, director Sammir I Patel is gearing up to complete the English version of the short film for various festivals. Excited over the development, Sammir Patel says, “This short film is of 15 minutes duration. It shows the constructive relation between a son and handicapped father. The son transforms his house into a hotel, cinema auditorium and whatsoever according to the mood and requirement and always keeps his father absorbed and happy.” Patel further adds, “It is an emotional film and an eye-opener for today’s generation. I am sending this film to all the short film festivals which will be held this year.” Sammir Patel has forayed into the entertainment arena as an actor. He has acted in various television serials like “Ehsaas”, “Mr. And Mrs. Verma Ki Rasoi”, “Noorjehan” amongst others. He has also acted in Hindi super-hit comedy like “Life is Beautifool”, “Jo Khaye So Pachataye Aur Jo NaaKhaye So Pachtaye” and others. He ventured into direction with music videos, web series, and commercials. Presently his web channel ‘Sip Digital’ is quite appreciated. His earlier web series “Jhappi Jet” was hit too. Last year he had directed a Hindi comedy film ‘Hotel Beautifool’ which is based on a super-hit Hindi comedy play “Baat – Baat Mein Begde Haalat” and was successfully premiered in Canada. Sammir Patel further states, “The film ‘Hotel Beautifool’ will be released this year in India. I am also working on another black comedy film ‘Tata Good Bye’ which will be made and released by this year-end too. Then there is a music video ‘2 GB Ka Pyaar’ and also making a web series ‘Tissue Paper’ for my web channel. Meanwhile, I have also directed a commercial for a Heeng (Asafetida) company with Navni Parihar and Major Bikramjeet which will soon be telecast on various television channels. ”

#AnupriyaGoenka, who plays Poorna, the head nurse of #TigerZindaHai , all set to step up her campaign for Bollywood stardom
After a bit role in #ArjunRamphal’s ‘#Daddy’ #AnupriyaGoenka hit the jackpot with the #AliAbbasZafar directed, #Yashraj produced #SalmanKhan starrer ‘#TigerZindaHai’ and given the moolah the espionage action thriller is raking at the Box-office, suddenly her career in films appears to be looking up. And there’s more to come- a sizeable role in the controversy ridden #SanjayLeelaBhansali’s #Padmavati ( soon to be renamed #Padmavat) as Nagmati, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh’s(#ShahidKapoor) first wife, and a starring role in the #NageshKukkunoor directed film ‘#Maya’ Hailing from a fairly conservative background, born and brought up in Lucknow, as part of a conservative Marwari Business family, Anupriya, now 30, began her career in the corporate world and then shifted to ad films, theatre and cinema in that order.
“ Though we have a family business and women were not known to have worked outside the home front, my family left no stone unturned to educate me and allow me the freedom to choose my own destiny. My parents were apprehensive about my career choices at first but there were no restrictions from them-only cautions to be careful.” But after five years in the industry her parents have begun to appreciate her spunk and are appreciative of her forays into acting in cinema. Her scenes with the Godfather of talented struggling actors of the industry in #TigerZindaHai gave her the confidence to believe in her talent. “Salman sir was very encouraging and made me so comfortable that I was able to perform with ease.”
Ask her about playing a role- that of head nurse Poorna, among 25 Indians and 15 Pakistani nurses held captive by Syrian terrorist Abu Usman, similar to that of Parvathy in the award-winning Malayalam film #TakeOff , she shrugs and says “though the character and struggles were similar, there was a lot of dissimilarity in the screenplay and plotting of it. I never saw #TakeOff before doing this film so my view was not colored by #Parvathy’s fantastic performance.” She adds, “Ali Abbas Zafar was clear about what he wanted from me and that’s what you see on screen.” She says she has no favourite directors “ All the directors I have worked with have had something special in them and they managed to draw out the best from me. I am happy with each of my films so far and am looking forward to working with Bollywood’s best.” With her feet grounded and a strong emotive screen presence Anupriya Goenka is sure to go far. Methinks for her, stardom is just around the corner… Johnsont307@gmail.com

Video Lighting up Data and Smartphones, Says Hotstar; Big Growth in Users and Engagement

Video Lighting up Data and Smartphones, Says Hotstar; Big Growth in Users and Engagement Releases the 1st India Watch Report 2018 Mumbai, 22 February 2018: Releasing the first India Watch Report 2018, Hotstar, India’s leading premium streaming platform, today shared insights on the dramatic transformation sweeping the Internet landscape in India. In a first of its kind report for any streaming platform in the world, the service has disclosed usage patterns on its platform. The big news? Nearly 5 times growth in video consumption in the last 12 months, with 96 percent of all usage being focused on long form video. This marks an inflexion point in India where the early years of online video were characterized by short form consumption from users deeply fearful of data charges. The last 12 months have also seen access to data and consumption of video go deeper into inner India. The report shared that growth in smaller cities, less than 10 lakh in population, outstripped that in the large metros. And, while the gender gap in access to data persists, affordability is opening up new opportunities for women, with women in smaller cities coming online faster than in the metros. Speaking about the report, Ajit Mohan, CEO, Hotstar said, “A new generation of users are emerging in India who take for granted round the clock access to the best stories; who know that they can watch the best shows from around the world at the same time as the world (and sometimes way ahead of most of the world); who do not worry about being forced to skip their team’s weekend football games because they are not at home in front of their television; and who have the implicit faith that all breaking news will reach them without any effort on their part.” Other highlights from the report: · Streaming video has hit critical momentum. The Champion’s Trophy Final 2017 on Hotstar hit 4.8 million simultaneous viewers, a record! · Streaming habits have gone well beyond being ‘snacky’ time fillers. More and more users are treating the mobile as their first screen. · Streamers don’t follow stereotypes. Data reveals that consumption habits cut across stereotypes and traditional boundaries. 26% of Game of Thrones viewers also watched Hindi TV shows; 24% of Modern Family viewers watched cricket; and 50% of watch time of Star Plus’s show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, came from men. · While cricket still rules the roost, other sports are sprouting well. VIVO IPL consumption grew nearly 7 times between 2016 and 2017. However, VIVO Pro Kabbadi and Premier League also grew nearly 10 times. The complete report is available to view at indiawatchreport2018.hotstar.com About Hotstar: Hotstar is India’s largest premium streaming platform with more than 100,000 hours of drama and movies in 9 languages, and coverage of every major global sporting event.

The first song of Sudhir Mishra’s Daas Dev crooned by Atif Aslam launched ~Sudhir’s modern day Devdas starring Rahul Bhat as Devdas, Paro is Richa Chadha , Chandramukhi is Aditi Rao Hydari and Anurag Kashyap in a cameo to release across India on March 23~ Mumbai, February 22, 2018: ‘Sehmi Hai Dhadkan’, the first song of Sudhir Mishra’s upcoming feature, Daas Dev, crooned by Atif Aslam was launched yesterday. Inspired from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic novel, Sudhir’s modern day Devdas stars Rahul Bhatt as Devdas, Paro is Richa Chadha and Chandramukhi is Aditi Rao Hydari. The film also features the Mukkabaaz actor Vineet Singh, Saurabh Shukla and Vipin Sharma in key roles and Anurag Kashyap will be seen in an interesting cameo. Sehmi Hai Dhadkan is composed by Vipin Patwa and written by Dr. Sagar. “I found this song an interesting composition because of the lyrics and the way it was suppose to be sung. Especially the change of the music from the beginning to the end is very amusing. It is beautifully composed and I thoroughly enjoyed working for this song, I hope everyone loves it too” says Atif Aslam while sharing his thoughts on the song. Praising Atif voice, Sudhir Mishra says, “Because like all great singers he has the capacity to bring out the emotional depth of a song but is never sentimental. The words are articulated so brilliantly but there is a touch of mystery. It has the capacity to mean different things to the listener at different times.” The music composer Vipin Patwa adds, “Working with Sudhir Mishra is an experience in itself. Every moment is a learning curve with him. The best part is that his ideas are very unique and one cannot anticipate it at all. So one has to stretch his imagination and creativity to match up to him. One more point is that he is a great teacher and he loves as much as he scolds. It is an honour to be working with him” Daas Dev is a reverse story of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s Devdas dipped in Shakespearean influences. If Devdas was a journey from a noble person to a 'Das', this is a journey from 'Das', a person who is a slave to his addictions and to the dynastic ambitions of his family to ‘Dev’. Set against the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh, ‘Daas Dev’ is a film about power, love and addiction. Produced by Sanjjeev Kumar, Gaurav Sharma and Manohar P Kanungo and presented by Saptarishi Cinevision Production and Storm Pictures, Daas Dev is set to release across India on March 23 To watch the song click here: https://youtu.be/6BxjYvg9KMw

How Rukhsana Took Over Anushka! #Pari

How Rukhsana Took Over Anushka! It is not always that we have a Bollywood A-lister take on the mantel of pushing the Horror genre in Hindi Cinema to the edge and making it fly! And yet, the trailer and screamers of Anushka’s third home production, PARI have definitely made the audience sit back and take note. While little is known about Anushka’s character in the film, an insider tells us that her character in the film is called Rukhsana. Though more details about her role are not known, we found out that the person behind Anushka’s much talked about look in PARI is the well known British Prosthetic Designer, Clover Wootton. Speaking to us, Clover said, “With Rukhsana’s character, we needed to understand that she has been through a lot physically and that is how her look had to be designed. Her hair quality is bad and damaged, her skin would be pale, dry and dirty. The conditions that she has been living in will have had an effect on her body, but at the same time she needed to look attractive too.” With this brief, Wootton set out on her mission, “I deliberately left some oil on her face. Anushka has naturally very beautiful skin so I did absolutely nothing to it and kept it all raw. The light eyes really suited her and the freckles gave the feel of roughness to her skin and the aura that maybe she is not the same as us. The challenge was to make it believable that she is Rukhsana not Anushka.” And going by what one sees of Anushka in the PARI posters, teasers and trailer we can’t agree more with Wootton! PARI, produced by Clean Slate Films, is presented by KriArj Entertainment and Kyta Productions and will be released worldwide by Pooja Films on 2nd March, 2018
