HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIO​NAL (HSI) AND PRITISH NANDY COMMUNICAT​IONS (PNC) HOSTED WORLD COMPASSION DAY WITH HIS HOLINESS THE XIV DALAI LAMA

Pritish Nandy Communications and Humane Society International, the global partner of The Humane Society of the United States, were hosts at the World Compassion Day on 28th November, a day of sharing the ideals of ahimsa and compassion towards all life, with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, who shared his thoughts on this platform with a very select audience.
In a world torn apart by conflict and war, an initiative like World Compassion Day (WCD) comes as a breath of fresh air. WCD is an idea based on ahimsa and compassion. It was a day where global icons took the stage and shared their ideologies, values and principles on how to make the Gandhian ideals of ahimsa and compassion relevant to our times.
India is the perfect nation to drive this initiative, given the fact that it has been the crucible of four of the greatest religions of the world - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism - all committed to the ideals of compassion and ahimsa. This year, WCD will have a special focus on animal welfare and the growing importance of vegetarianism for reasons of both healthcare and to discourage killing of other species.
Speaking about World Compassion Day, The Dalai Lama said, “Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human but also human to other forms of life.”
A supporter of HSI’s efforts to improve animal welfare worldwide, the Dalai Lama has joined HSI in calling for an end to the intensive factory farming practices, including the extreme confinement of egg-laying hens in battery cages. In prior years he called for this change and compassion toward farm animals when he said, “Turning these defenseless animals into egg-producing machines with no consideration for their welfare whatsoever is a degradation of our own humanity. Switching to cage-free eggs would reduce the suffering of these animals.”

Special Screening for Superstar Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha of Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi!

The highly anticipated 3D celebration of cinema, life and a rarely seen stunning showcase of India and Indian talent, Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi opened to rave reviews not just by critics but audiences as well with the weekend collections reaffirming the massive appeal of Life Of Pi as it bagged an astounding RS 19.5 Crores (Gross)!!
The who’s who of Bollywood has been enamored by the film and we hear that Superstar Salman Khan and his family along with his 'Dabangg 2' co-star Sonakshi Sinha and Nitesh Rane watched Life Of Pi at a special screening organized by Fox Star Studios yesterday at a Mumbai suburban theatre!
The stars were completely mesmerized by the stunning film, an inside source tells us.
Life Of Pi has gathered the 4th biggest opening weekend of the year, and the 6thhighest of all time. Along with being the 2nd highest opening of all time for Fox Star Studios after ‘Avatar.’ The 3D adventure has also achieved the highest opening for a non-franchise film say the statistics.
Life Of Pi marks a significant addition to the stable of Box Office Biggies from Fox Star Studio’s whose 3D legacy includes Avatar, Titanic 3D, Rise of the Planet Of The Apes and their last record breaking animation Ice Age 4 : Continental Drift.
Oscar winning Ang Lee’s visual masterpiece achieved the laudatory figures despite the simultaneous release of the last installment of a popular vampire franchise and the two Bollywood Biggies released during Diwali continuing their positive pan India collections.
Life of Pi 3D is the visually stunning tale of a boy who is adrift at sea in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger after his family is drowned in a shipwreck. Not only is the film a global platform of Indian talent with its cast and crew (Debutante Suraj Sharma, Tabu and Irrfan Khan), but some of India’s most scenic spots were tapped for the film, a first of its kind for a Hollywood film. Amidst racks of fabulous saris and colorful fabrics, many of which were used for the vibrant market scenes filmed in Pondicherry, India, where Pi spent his early year, there is a rich multicultural depth to the movie. One can see the countryside of Southern India in the hillside town of Munnar along with the French elegance of Pondicherry on 3D!

फिल्म निर्देशक हरीश शर्मा को एन एफ डी सी फिल्म बाज़ार ने अपनी ही फ़िल्में देखने की इज़ाज़त नही दी

जैसा कि हम सभी जानते हैं गोवा में अन्तराष्ट्रीय फिल्म फेस्टिवल चल रहा है और गोवा के मैरियट होटल में फिल्म बाजार भी चल रहा है जिसमें अनेकों फ़िल्में दिखाई जा रही हैं लेकिन यही फिल्म बाज़ार एक फिल्म निर्देशक के साथ कैसा व्यहार करता है जिसकी तीन फ़िल्में इस फिल्म बाज़ार में दिखाई जा रही हैं.
आइये जानते हैं मीडिया सलाहकार से फिल्म निदेशक बने हरीश शर्मा से। उन्होंने बताया कि, " मैं कोलकाता से सीधे गोवा आया फिल्म बाज़ार में क्योंकि मेरी इसमें तीन फ़िल्में दिखाई जा रही हैं लघु फिल्मों की श्रेणी में "आखिरी मुनादी" वृतचित्र श्रेणी में 'सोल्ज़र बीकम्स ए सोल्जर" और फीचर फिल्म की श्रेणी में "2 नाइट्स इन सोल वैली" जो की 28 दिसम्बर को रिलीज़ होने वाली है।
जैसे ही मैं एन ऍफ़ डी सी जहाँ मेरी फिल्मों की स्क्रीनिंग हो रही थी पंहुचा प्रतिकिया जानने के लिए. एक लड़की मुझे वहां मिली मैंने उसे बताया की मेरी तीन फ़िल्में यहाँ दिखाई जा रही हैं उस लड़की ने मुझसे कहा कि क्या आप हरीश शर्मा हैं? यह सुनकर मैं बहुत खुश हुआ की क्या बात है इसे मेरा नाम भी याद है मैंने उससे कहा कि बस मैं एक बार अन्दर जाकर देखना चाहता हूँ कि मेरी फ़िल्में आप कैसे दिखा रहे हैं तो उसने कहा कि अन्दर जाने के लिए आपको पंजीकरण करना पड़ेगा. मैंने कहा ठीक हैं जब मैं पंजीकरण करने के लिए गया तो मुझे वहां तीन सज्जन मुझे मिले उन्होंने मुझे एक फॉर्म भरने और फीस 10 हजार रुपये भरने के लिए कहा यह सुनकर मैं चौंक गया क्योंकि 24 नवंबर आखिरी दिन हैं फिल्म बाज़ार की और सिर्फ एक दिन के लिए इतनी बड़ी रकम भरना कोई बुद्धिमानी की बात नही थी मेरे हिसाब से। मेरे बार बार अनुरोध करने के बावजूद भी उन्होंने मुझे अन्दर जाने नही दिया।
क्या करता ऐसे में मैं? मैंने एन ऍफ़ डी सी का उनके इस व्यवहार के लिए धन्यवाद किया और वहां से चलता बना।

Dear Sir/s,
We are concerned for our client MR. VEERAJ KUMAR VERMA @RAJAN VERMA, having address at 301, 3rd Floor, Building No. 4-A, New Mhada Colony, Lokhandwala, Andheri (West), Mumbai, India- 400 053, upon whose instruction and behalf, we have to serve following notice upon you;
That our client is a law abiding and peace loving citizen of India and is an actor by profession having acted in various feature films which has been proved blockbuster on the box office and some films are going to be released very soon and considering the same, our client is having a very good reputation within the society as well as within the entertainment industry at large, whereas, you no. 1 is a leading newspaper of Pakistan having a very good reputation within the international media and thus in routine course, whatever the news is being published by you, the same is being treated as a most trusted and truthful news not only within Pakistan but also at international level and thus, it is your bounden and mandatory duty to check the authenticity of any news before you publish the same in your news paper. Our client further states that you no. 2 is the Managing Director of you no. 1 and is actively involved into the day to day affaires of you no. 1 and thus, are very much liable and responsible for the acts and deeds done by you no. 2 for and on behalf of you no.1.
That our client in routine course of the business, had produced and acted into a film i.e. Hindi Feature Film titled Ashok Chakra, which was intended to give a tribute to the martyr and victim of the inopportune tragedy of the attack done by the terrorists on 26/11/2008 at our financial capital Mumbai. Our client states that the said film was completed well within time and was released worldwide and was very much appreciated by the people at large. Our client further states that in the said film, our client had played the lead role of Kasab, the only surviving terrorist, who after trail before the Honble Court at Mumbai, was sentenced to death.
You are also aware that the said terrorist Kasab, pursuant to the judgment and order of the Honble Court and pursuant to rejection of his mercy plea by the Honble President of India, the said Terrorist was hanged till death on 21/11/2012 at Yarwada Jail, Maharashtra, India and the said news came to be reflected everywhere in India as well as at International level via print and electronic media. That our client was very much shocked and surprised to go through a news on internet published by you no. 1 through you no. 2 in your news paper in its 21/11/2012 edition wherein the news regarding the judicial hanging of the said terrorist was published however, it was more surprising that instead of Photograph of Kasab, the still photograph of our client (procured from the said film wherein our client is carrying a weapon into his hands) is being published in the said column in your newspaper. Our client states that by the said act, you have made an attempt to pretend as if our client is the real Kasab and terrorist who have killed various innocent people on the said fateful day and also, you have made an illegal and unjustified attempt to declare our client as one of the dreaded International Terrorist.
That due to your aforesaid acts and deeds and willful default, the reputation and dignity of our client has been badly hampered within the society as well as at the international level at large. At the same time, it has also caused security concerned of our client and his family members at any time and place as, after the said news being published, a prudent man will carry an impression that our client is a real culprit of the said attack on Mumbai and mass killing of the innocent people of our country and foreigners.
Further, due to your aforesaid illegal and unjustified acts and deeds and due to publication of the photograph of our client in your news paper which is being published and distributed worldwide, our client shall face various problems in immigration, Visa, security check etc., while his visits to abroad and it is quite natural that he could be refused to provide Visas for the Country like America and in that case, our client shall not only face a tremendous mental and physical torture but also, shall face a huge and irreparable monitory losses as, in routine course of his profession, our client is required to visit outside India most frequently for the purpose of shooting of his films.
That it is quite regretful and surprising that the photograph of Kasab is easily available and specially for the media like you and the photograph of our client cannot be procured that much easily however despite the said fact, the photograph of our client has been affixed instead of Kasab which clearly indicates towards your selfish motive and design best known to you and the said fact itself indicates that the reputation of our client has been intentionally hampered by you at International level.
In the circumstances, our client have instructed us to address you the present notice which we hereby do and call upon you to compensate our client to the tune of Rs. 10,00,00,000/- (INR Ten Crores Only) for the mental and physical trauma and financial losses faced by our client and at the same time, you are also called upon to tender your unconditional written apology in your newspaper in prominent place within one week from the date of receipt of the present notice failing which, our client shall have left with no other option but to initiate necessary Civil and Criminal proceedings against you as per provisions of the Law of the land and in such event, you shall alone be responsible for the entire risk as to cost and consequences thereof, which you may please take note well in advance.
Thanking You

The Attacks of 26/11 first look launch pics and RGV note


RGV screens the first look of The Attacks of 26/11
Ram Gopal Varma held a simple screening of his latest film, The Attacks of 26/11 for the media and the families of the victims, the survivors and their families and the cops of the incident that shook the nation. The feel of the 15-minute first look was very heavy with the audience getting overwhelmed. While few opined that it took them back to the days they were trying to erase, a pint-sized wonderkid Devika responsible for nailing Kasab was vocal when she felt "that such films are the need of the hour. Kasab's hanging should be made public so that people actually believe he has been hanged. I want it to be a lesson to all terrorists."
Mrs. Salaskar agreed with Devika when she expressed her happiness on The Attacks of 26/11 being made. Ram Gopal Varma was clear in his thought. "I had never intended to make a film at that point when I went there. What could I have possibly seen at that place what the media had not already been showing ever since. I never ever intended to make a film on those attacks when I went to The Taj. Why now? Now after all these years, after the whole truth has been uncovered by the investigators and by the virtue of an extensive knowledge I have gathered from various sources about the actual truths behind those attacks from both authorized and eye witness accounts, I developed a desire to film the actual story of those attacks the attacks began."
A touching screening indeed.
A NOTE FROM RAM GOPAL VARMA ON THE
FIRST LOOK UNVEILING OF ATTACKS of 26/11
In the context of me launching the first look of my film 'The attacks of 26/11' at Nehru auditorium, the 23rd at 6 pm in spite of it not being relevant to the film by itself, I just wanted to clarify my position on the controversy surrounding
the highly criticized visit of mine to the Taj after the attacks of
26/11... the allegation of my seeming insensitivity
towards the incident came out of a speculation that the late
Vilasraoji facilitated my visit to the Taj, for me to have access
to unseen views, in view of me casting Riteish in a film that I was
planning to do on those attacks. That speculation was completely
baseless because of the following reasons:
1. What could I have possibly seen at that place what the media
had not already been showing ever since the attacks began?
2. If I am accused of wanting to cast Riteish,then my question is
"Would I have cast him as a terrorist or a cop or what ? And this too,
at a time
when no one including the police knew what or who was behind
the attacks".
3. I was a member of a group of nearly 30 people that were only
allowed into restricted areas…
Why else would the investigative agencies allow any of us to
walk into areas where the crime scenes are being investigated?
       The truth of why I went to the Taj at that time was nothing
but my curiosity to witness a scene of an unprecedented happening and
since I just happened to be with close friend Riteish I took the
opportunity …Riteish himself did not know that anybody would read
meanings into this act and his father Vilasraoji did not even know
that I was in the group.
Having said this, I also agree that it is highly understandable that
during those emotional and traumatic moments it is very
natural that various concerned would feel a strong sense of
indignation on such seemingly callous and selfish
behaviour… but like I said and maintained ever since that time, I
never ever intended to make a film on those attacks when I went to the
Taj.

WHY NOW?

Now after all these years, after the whole truth has been uncovered by
the investigators and by the virtue of an extensive knowledge I have
gathered from various sources about the actual truths behind those
attacks from both authorized and eye witness accounts, I developed a
desire to film the acutal story of those attacks

Subhash Ghai’s quest to find his 'Kaanchi' takes him to Chandigarh!

Preparations for Subhash Ghai's magnum opus – KAANCHI is in full swing, while stars like Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor have been signed for major parts in the film, the hunt for its leading lady is still on. With that respect, Subhash Ghai will be visiting Chandigarh on November 30th, Friday, and not only address the media to reveal his big plans for his next directorial venture, but shall also begin his hunt for a new heroine to play the title role of KAANCHI.
The auditions for the title role of Kaanchi, a young
pahadi girl will be held in Chandigarh at hotel Taj on 1stand 2nd December. Everyone aspiring to be a part of this big project will have to register for the auditions by 30 November 2012 at admukta@gmail.com or call Mr. Juneja on 09888999082.
The opportunity is thrown open for girls, who have never appeared in films before, are between the age group of 18 -22 with fair complexion, slightly stout and have medium height. Other requisites are good eye color, aggressiveness, clear diction, and basic acting and dancing skills.
Known to have launched and groomed 11 stars in Bollywood, including Madhuri, Manisha, Mahima , Katrina , Kareena , Meenakshi Sheshadri and so on, one wonders who will be Subhash Ghai’s next find.

T-Series Ropes In Mithoon For 3-Film Deal
It's usual for one to see solo artists running after Music labels and coaxing them to release their tracks. However, one usually doesn't see a Music giant chasing a composer to rope him in. The latter seems to have happened with music composer Mithoon. It is learnt that the Music baron Bhushan Kumar has roped Mithoon for a three film deal!
Althought the details of the films are being tightly guarded, one does learn that this may be Mithoon's first to sign up such a deal. Apparently, the composer doesn't play more than a song or two during music sittings. However, when he sat down to discuss the tunes with Bhushan Kumar he ended up sharing 7 songs in one go and the Bhushan loved them all!
Confirming the reports, Bhushan Kumar jubilantly said, " Yes its true that ive signed Mithoon for three of my films.I was thrilled to hear the songs he played me and I didn't want to miss even one of them.I can assure you that each one of them will be immortal."
One can only wait to hear the lovely melodies of Mithoon now.

Son of Sardaar to get 300 Plus more screens by this Friday due to Public Demand!!

 
With a perfectly eclectic mix of action, comedy, drama, romance, catchy music and B-town masala, Son of Sardaar has been established as a true family entertainer. Ajay Devgn’s action-comedy has something for everyone and is wining the hearts of audiences as well as the trade fraternity!!
Now what we hear is that due to the out-standing and overwhelming response which the film Son of Sardaar is getting, the theatre owners have decided to give 300 plus more screens to the movie by this Friday!!
After opening with a mind boggling RS 10.72Cr (Net box office collections) on the very first day and with the total amounting to Rs. 76.35 Crores in 8 days, despite having 500 theaters lesser than competing releases in the same festive period, SOS is reigning the box offices across India post Diwali!!
A source close to the team confirms, “We are really happy with the response that we have got for the film so far and its very humbling to know that people are loving the film. Due to public demand, 300 plus more screens will be allotted to SOS by Friday.”
Says Aditya Chowksey, a leading Film Distributor from Central India,“Just like other parts of India, in my film circuit 'Central India', 'Son of Sardaar' was played in few cinemas who in the recent past have not been able to screen a new Hindi film on Diwali. The film has been a roaring success in all such cinemas, eg. Neelkamal & Kusum, Indore; Ganesh, Pune, Maharashtra. The makers of SOS have not just made money, but also have earned the blessings of all such exhibitors. It is rightly said, prayers go up and blessings come down.”'
Wow!! Well with 300 + more screens, we can only imagine some more amazing collections at the Box Office now!!
This news definitely calls for a party-SOS size!! Son Of Sardaar is a Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Eros International presentation. Son of Sardaar (SOS) produced by Ajay Devgn Ffilms and YRV Infra & Media (P) Ltd Production is directed by Ashwni Dhir.

सेंसर ने यू/ए से पास किया आमिर खान की तलाश को

आमिर खान की रीमा कागटी निर्देशित थ्रिलर फिल्म तलाश को सेंसर द्वारा पास कर दिया गया है। थ्री इडियट्स  के  तीन साल बाद रीलीज़ होने जा रही आमिर खान की फिल्म तलाश में आमिर खान को थ्री इडियट्स की करीना कपूर के अलावा ग़ुलाम की अपनी नायिका रानी कपूर का भी साथ मिला है। फिल्म में करीना कपूर ने एक कॉल गर्ल और रानी मुखर्जी ने आमिर की पत्नी की भूमिका की है। तलाश में आमिर खान बाज़ी और सरफरोश के बाद तीसरी बार वर्दी में नज़र आएंगे। एक दुर्घटना के पीछे के रहस्य का पर्दाफाश करने में जुटे एक पुलिस अधिकारी की इस कहानी में सिरियल किललिंग है। उम्मीद की जा रही थी कि इसे देखते हुए सेंसर बोर्ड तलाश को ए सर्टिफिकेट देगा। लेकिन सेंसर को ऐसा लगा कि फिल्म में हत्या के दृश्य अनावश्यक हिंसा वाले नहीं है कि कम उम्र के बच्चो के लिए अयोग्य ठहरा दी जाए। इसलिए सेंसर ने तलाश को यू/ए सर्टिफिकेट दे कर पारित कर दिया गया है।
134 मिनट लंबी तलाश 30 नवम्बर को रीलीज़ होगी।

KIRTI KULHARI TO PLAY THE FIRST INDIAN GIRLFRIEND OF A ZOMBIE

We have seen many Hollywood Zombie films where there’s always a sexy damsel handling the distress of the situation. With director/actor Luke Kenny’s RISE OF THE ZOMBIES, young actress Kirti Kulhari will become the first Indian actress to be a part of the so-called tradition. Kirti plays the role of Luke’s girlfriend, Vinny in the film. “It is a very damsel in distress situation when your boyfriend turns into a zombie. But in the case of this film, I like the way Luke has kept my character. She has her head on her shoulder and tries to understand the situation as opposed to run helter-skelter with skimpy clothes on,” says Kirti.
Known for a power-packed-performance in Bejoy Nambiar’s Shaitan, Kirti chose to do this film out of the sheer exquisiteness of the theme. “While we have seen a lot of Hollywood Zombie films, no one had attempted the same in India. So I really liked the fact that Luke wanted to do something different. And secondly, he is thorough with his knowledge, which is a positive for the film. I don’t become a zombie in the film. I didn’t want to be, but I wanted to be a part of this film and I am glad with how the film has shaped up,” she shares.
Rise Of The Zombies is one of the three Indian zombie films. Others being Go Goa Gone and Rock The Shaadi, ROTZ will be the first to release on February 1st, 2013. “I am the zombie’s girlfriend, sounds cool right!” quips Kirti. It is definitely a first of its kind girl!
