Stumble Hindi movie
The trailers for this movie have been a bit misleading as they made the movie out to be some sort of epic war movie between kingdoms like Baahubali but instead stayed faithful to the source material Mani Ratnam, who co-wrote it with Elango Kumaravel and B. Jeyamohan has crafted a movie with genuinely interesting court intrigue.
The movie does have its share of battle sequences and action set pieces but where the movie truly shines is when it skillfully manages to show the political scheming and backstabbing that takes place.
In fact, it is when the movie tries to add commercial elements into the plot that the pacing of the movie suffers as most of the time the contract between these two elements is jarring and holds the movie back from achieving its true potential.
Thankfully, the excellent acting on display distracts you from the movie's issues and is a highlight of the movie, this movie has a great ensemble cast, however, the standouts have to be Aishwarya Rai as Nandini is a treat to watch and is one the best performances of her career, speaking too much about her role in the movie will be spoiling the experience but it does feel good to see the actress in top form again.
The music by A. R. Rahman never really stood out and most of the background score felt like rehashes of different Hollywood movies, the Cinematography by Ravi Varman was fine except for some of the action set pieces.
Director Deva Katta, who directed the original Telugu film nine years ago, returns to captain the Hindi language adaptation, but stumbles in this Bollywood update, with actor-producer Sanjay Dutt leading the charge in front of the camera.

She somehow manages to shut him in and tries to run out, but as she prepares to leave, Anand returns. As Sharda tries to act normal while planning to escape, Anand finds that his father has been locked in and when he saves his father, he realizes that Sharda knows the truth about his deeds.

The newbie (of Badlapur fame and Hunterr infamy) is doing an Indo-British movie called Bombairiya. Apparently, there is a promotional write-up circulating in the media, announcing that Radhika is meeting "a lot of PRO's" (publicists) for her role in the film.
For me, it seemed kind of foolish for Arivu to get into that fight and provide a commentary, given that he knows how serious Kasi is and how opposing him affects the whole radio thing. I consoled myself that this movie is about a playful guy taking his life, job and responsibility seriously. But there is no payoff for his action as Kasi does nothing to him or his station. Also IMO that was not the seed. The way he confesses that the station was started to destroy Kasi and the back story about that whole patta thing explains his idea of the need for a better life for the people. Other than that, the first half was very boring in spite of the three act structure.
I thought of Velaikkaran as a movie that could have been a great Raju Hirani movie. The outsider who attempts to change the system, the corrupt system in itself, the several lives touched in the process, and so on. I did not find the second half as bad as others did. However, if one has to poke holes in the logic of this film which is just a more ambitious (but not necessarily, smarter) version of a hero-worshiping message movie, then one can find plot-holes every five minutes or less.
After the swelling goes down, a person usually can walk, but feels pain when the inside of the knee is stretched, Also, the knee may feel unstable and can "give way" and make the person stumble or fall.
This story often lingers after everyone else goes home. We, who work in the production line know this. Someone somewhere might stumble upon these stories and see more than what appears on the screen. That, at least, is our hope.
The movie sacrificed a solid ending in favor of faithfulness to the source material, a crime noble in nature that ultimately resulted in a far weaker final product. Sad, but painfully predictable.
This piece is a shadow dance, a ripple in the wake of a massacre. A space we created to allow us to be haunted by these traumas. This is an island. A house for the living and the dead. A haunted ground and house of many secrets. A place to play with magic and clay. Make friend with ghosts. Dance like little gods. A hill where we can transmute and transform spirits into paper, paper into tears, bury sorrow in the earth and make a gathering out of it. Where strangers will come to miss-tell our stories, to betray them so that they can live on, and be carried by other people. Your remains are now our remains. We make music, pictures, dances, movies, costumes, objects, lights. We call upon trials, demonstrations, mourning songs, speeches, conversations, whistling, storms, other islands, other stories.
Mr Trump also stumbled over the names of Modi's home state of Gujarat and its biggest city Ahmedabad - where he was speaking - as well as the names of two Indian cricket heroes, Sachin Tendulkar and current team captain Virat Kohli.

Whenever a Bollywood movie of the 1960s had a supernatural element such as a ghost or a haunting, the directors would warn the audience that the story was imaginary; that ghosts did not really exist; that this was only entertainment. These glossy three-hour films, with their songs and dances, may have had little connection with reality, but they were the only pop culture Hindi-speaking India had. They reached places in the Indian subcontinent where no other medium could hope to reach. Their impact was enormous among the illiterate, who were seen as impressionable and who made easy targets for the fake spiritual leaders promising to rid them of their bad luck in return for a suitable fee.
However, this is also a book illuminated by flashes of sly wit. When Nimish stumbles upon Untouchable: A Novel by Mulk Raj Anand, he has his own moment of epiphany, as literature frees his postcolonial soul.
I've read your works for years, but the story I keep coming back to is the one you wrote about your meeting with Lemmy Kilmeister. In the strange magical bar with the fruit machine, and while you said you would never look for it, did you ever stumble upon it once or is it still just a memory?
If one scans through the list of personalities associated with the production, unprecedented is the word. Story by Javed Akhtar, music by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy, choreography by Shiamak Davar and Glen D'Mello, costumes by Neeta Lulla, art direction by Omung Kumar, and a cast that boasts of starlets Gauhar Khan and Kashmira Irani, and TV actor and anchor Hussain Kuwajerwala in the lead roles. And bringing all of them together, Wizcraft and Apra. Talking of the 4-D theatre, it has layered projection screens not only in the backdrop of the stage, but also on both side-walls of the auditorium, in an attempt to make the audience a part of the scene. One can't help but look up and wonder why the ceiling is so high above, with stands, lights trolleys hanging, akin to a television or a movie set, as things are supposed to happened on the stage, right Wrong. Wait until you witness the lead actors making their grand entry flying over an eagle or through a boat that floats over the heads of the audiences, or the streamers that are sprayed all over the place during the grandiose sign-off. And often, the dancers and the performers would fill the aisles between the supremely comfortable seats to dance with much gusto. So this is what the whole 4-D fuss is all about, one wonders. But as you are taken further through the two-hour musical, it becomes highly predictable, with just the acrobatics of the flying performers, energetic song and dance sequences and breathtaking sets providing some highs. The story in itself is quite insubstantial, with a clichd storyline. A popular king, his jealous general, a political conspiracy that results in the murder of the king and queen; their infant son, thereafter raised by a gypsy couple, grows up to be a magician and performer, a stereotypical banjara named Zangoora, played by Hussain. And it doesn't end there. In truly filmy ways, he falls in love with a princess, while his childhood friend, who longs for him, nurses a broken heart, but still hangs on to their precious friendship. Zangoora then stumbles upon the fact that he is not a street performer gypsy, but a prince, and eventually sets upon the task of overthrowing the evil general and reclaiming his place on the throne of the fictional kingdom of Shaktishila. The story unfolds with blockbuster Hindi film songs, mostly glamourous dance numbers. And that perhaps is the only high point as far as the the performance is concerned. Choreography wins hands down, as extremely clichd dialogues, slapstick humour and story take their toll. One just can't help but notice Gauhar's dancing prowess, as she steals the thunder from those around her. Even Hussain, an acclaimed dancer himself, is no match for her. But maybe it was supposed to be like that. More performance and less of content. Full of larger-than-life sequences and less of a story. They had to be different to justify the promise of novelty, the promise of grandeur, luxury and justify its premium costs. Treading on pillars of a clichd yet successful Bollywood formula and blockbuster Hindi songs also places the production in the safe zone, to guarantee audience's acceptance. And talking of songs, while there was everything in it from Bidi Jalaile to Choli ke peechhe, and from Helen's Mehbooba number from Sholay, to Laila main Laila, the musical's title track Zangoora Zangora was a fast-beat composition catching one's attention, and in a good way. However, with music directors of great calibre associated with the production, it was quite a let down that all they ended up doing was just one new song, while only rearranging music of the old hits.Viraf Sarkari, director, Wizcraft, and also the executive creative director and producer of this production, wears Zangoora proudly on his sleeve. He compares it to nothing less than Broadway and West End, while David Frieman, supervising director, draws a close comparison to Mamma Mia, owing to the already famous music being used. Sarkari wants to develop Nautanki Mahal as the multiplex of live entertainment, and justifies the ticket costs, which most would believe place it beyond the reach of the common man. This is an extremely expensive production and has cost more than a regular B movie. And then, we are offering a quality entertainment product that is right up there with the best in the world, if not better. Even if you go to watch Broadway, it would cost you 60 pounds per ticket, he says. He refrains from commenting on how long will this production continue, and says he will run it for as long as possible. While comparisons to Broadway and West End might be rushed, the production seems to be targeting foreign tourists and the growing population of expats in India's corporate circles, apart from the obvious and expanding class of Indian elites. The cost, location, a story that is dripping with the exotic something that has been tagged to India's image abroadand, of course, the timing of the opening, just days before the Commonwealth Games, are hard to miss. And whether Zangoora translates into the advent of a 'popular theatre' culture and 4-D performance theatres in the country will only be a derivative of time. If your purse allows, you may drop in for the larger-than-life entertainment experience, which just might not be limited to the stage, while content curls up playing second fiddle to the extravagance, maybe sacrificed for the security and comfort of popularity. Zangoora-The Gypsy Prince is still worth the experience, though a little more experiment with the script and the story could have done it a world of good.if ( fe_check_is_mobile() == true ) jQuery("googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1435909828675-0'); );").insertAfter(".runningtext p:eq(1)"); create_vuukle_platform('2e5a47ef-15f6-4eec-a685-65a6d0ed00d0', '689587', 0, 'archive', 'Blinding extravagance - The Financial Express'); if( false == fe_check_is_mobile() ) document.write(''); else document.write('');var addthis_config = "data_track_addressbar":false;var addthis_share = "passthrough": "facebook": "app_id": 1672404616366149, "redirect_uri": "https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/archive\/blinding-extravagance\/689587\/?fe_share=fb" , "twitter": "via": "FinancialXpress" ;googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-0'); );googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-7'); );Tweets by FinancialXpress googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-2'); );googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-3'); );googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-8'); );googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-9'); );
