The show is currently at a very interesting juncture where a sinister plot hatched by Shekhar has caused emotions to run high.

नवाजुद्दून सिद्दीकी की बाबुमोशाय बंदूकबाज ने लोगों का दिल जीत लिया

कुशान नंदी के निर्देशन में बनी नवाजुद्दीन सिद्दीकी स्टारर फिल्म बाबुमोशाय बंदुकबाज इस शुक्रवार देशभर के सिनेमाघरों में रिलीज हुई हैं। रिलीज हुए दिन से ही फिल्म ने बॉक्स ऑफिस पर अच्छी कमाई करना शुरू किया हैं।  इस क्राइम थ्रिलर फिल्म में नवाजुद्दीन सिद्दीकी के अभिनय को समीक्षकों व्दारा तो तारीफ मिली ही । लेकिन साथ ही, दर्शकों ने भी नवाजुद्दीन के परफॉर्मन्स को सराहते हुए, फिल्म को अच्छा प्रतिसाद दिया हैं। ट्रेड के अनुसार, इस विकेन्ड से बाबुमोशाय बॉक्स ऑफिस पर अच्छा प्रदर्शन करेंगी। देश की मिट्टी की खुशबू रही, इस भारतीय डकैत फिल्म का बजेट हैं केवल 5 करोड रूपये। शूटिंग से लेकर पब्लिसिटी तक कम बजट में बनी इस फिल्म ने अपने बजट के अनुसार तो बॉक्स ऑफिस कमाई कर ली हैं।. और फिल्म हिट ठहरी हैं। नवाजुद्दीन इस वक्त सफलता के शिखर पर होने के बावजूद फिल्म के इस कम बजट के साथ विनम्रता से चलते हुए उन्होंने इस फिल्म को दर्शकों तक पहूँचाने में मदद की हैं। ट्रेड पंडितों के अनुसार, “इस विकेन्ड के खत्म होते होते बाबुमोशाय बंदीकबाज अपने फिल्ममेकिंग का पैसा वसूल करके बॉक्स ऑफिस पर अच्छी कमाई करेंगीं। यह फिल्म केवल 3 करोड में बनी हैं। जिसमें से 2 करोड फिल्म के पब्लिसिटी पर खर्च हुए हैं। पहले दिन के बॉक्स ऑफिस रिपोर्ट अच्छे हैं। और इससे लग रहा हैं, की यह कुछ समय बॉक्स ऑफिस पर अपनी पारी जारी रखेंगीं। नवाजुद्दिन अपने परफॉर्मन्स से दर्शकों को सिनेमाघरों में खिंचने में कामयाब रहें हैं। वह फिल्म इंडस्ट्री के कुछ चुनिंदा कलाकारों में से हैं, जो बडी कमर्शिअल फिल्म हो या छोटी कन्टेटड्रिवन फिल्म, अपने परफ़ॉर्मन्स से लोगों को सिनेमाघरों तक खिंच ला पाते हैं।“

Banning Triple Talaq? TV actors critique the decision

The Supreme Court has banned triple talaq, a Muslim Law by which men can divorce their wives by uttering Talaq three times. Our TV actors give their views on the judgement. 

Sehban Azim: Triple talaq is in Islam and cannot be amended…but the issue is not the law. Instead it’s all about how it's been practiced. In a lot of cases, it is seen that it is being misused. Nowhere in Islamic law does it state that Talaq is given just by saying it three times, there is a proper procedure that is to be followed, that takes 6-9 months. During this time, the couple is made to meet, sit together and rethink their decision. Once that span of time is over, and if both the individuals are still standing their grounds to get separated then the only talaq is viable. Until the end of this entire process, there's an option for the respective husband and wife to withdraw the entire process. So rather than creating a frenzy or making a hue and cry against Islamic laws or condemning them, the government needs to educate and spread awareness towards the right practice of talaq. 

Gunjan Utreja: I welcome this decision of the Supreme Court. Just because something has been going on for ages doesn't mean it holds true today, too. The constitution of a country is what binds everything and everyone together and if something is unconstitutional then it should be gone. 

Eijaz Khan: I think it's a smart and a perfect verdict for now. It's appalling how my community lacks educated and sensible leadership. I can understand the apprehensions faced by the older generation of Muslims regarding the decision. They feel that once anyone else starts meddling with Muslim laws, it will spread to other laws as well. I think anything that is unfair and discriminates on the basis of gender should be abolished. Why should there be even a second thought about it? It’s easy for me to sit here and complain about lack of educated leadership in my community, but I am hardly doing anything about it. So I don't think I have a right to complain but I guess eventually we have to come together to improve things. 

Sara Arfeen Khan: The Supreme Court’s decision by all means is good and will help those women who have been suffering because of this issue. The Quran has clear rules for how exactly a divorce should be fairly conducted in various situations. But since decades, the law of triple talaq has been modified by religious heads, according to their own convenience. This wasn't in accordance to the Quran and women had to pay the price. I am proud of this decision. 

Angad Hasija: I support the decision of the Supreme court. Marriage is for keeps and not breaking on the drop of a hat.  It surely is a positive step. One should understand the system well. I do have muslim friends and I respect every religion's traditions and customs. 

Mohammad Nazim: I believe more in my religion and than in the Supreme Court. Every religion has its own customs and beliefs. This idea that you can divorce someone just by uttering the word ‘Talaaq’ thrice is completely baseless. How can the Supreme Court interfere in a religion?  It is all politics. Divorce will only take place if you force someone to get married.  A Meher is written at the time of wedding so security is there after which a Nikaah gets sanctioned.  Just by speaking three words divorce doesn’t happen. There is proper procedure for divorce and it doesn’t happen in instant.

Parul Yadav's true friendship towards Priyamani

All actors are usually very conscious of how they look in public, what they wear and if they are dressed appropriately for a certain event or occasion. But Parul Yadav defied convention when she chose to attend her dear friend Priyamani's wedding wearing a leather jacket and denim.  

We saw Parul uploading pictures of her partying at Priyamani's sangeet function and also doing workshops for her film Butterfly with Ramesh Aravind. She surely seems comfortable juggling personal and professional commitments and knows how to balance them well. Then what made her wear denims and Jacket to a wedding function? 

"I have always tried to balance my personal and professional space and believe I have done a good job at it. But sometimes when things go wrong and you have to choose, I choose what is more important, and for me it's my relationships. I did not want to miss my dear friend's big day due to an outfit mishap and crazy schedules. Being there for her mattered more to me than looking good myself" said the thoughtful Parul who chose to be there for her friend at any cost. 

Kudos to this step taken by Parul Yadav and proving all of them wrong who believe that the friendships in the film industry are just on the surface. Parul, you go girl! You rocked the wedding in those denim's and a Jacket.

    ~कौन बनेगा करोड़पति 28 अगस्त से सोनी एंटरटेनमेंट टेलीविजन पर वापस आ रहा है — 

यह देश एक बार फिर से उस परिचित मध्यम आवाज को सुनेगा जो कहेगी, 'देवियों और सज्जनों' और 'लॉक किया जाए'। करोड़पति बनने के अपने सपने को पूर करने की कोशिश कर रहे कई आकांक्षियों के लिए प्रसिद्ध 'हॉट सीट' को एक बार फिर से खोल दिया जाएगा। यह समय है जब देश के सबसे बड़े सुपर स्टार, श्री अमिताभ बच्चन एक बार फिर भारतीय टेलीविजन के सबसे बड़े कार्यक्रम 'कौन बनेगा करोड़पति'(केबीसी) के 9वें संस्करण की मेजबानी करेंगे, जो 28 अगस्त से शुरू हो रहा है, हर सोमवार से शुक्रवार रात 9 बजे केवल सोनी एंटरटेनमेंट टेलीविजन (सेट) पर। 

केबीसी 9 नई लाइफलाइंस, रोमांचक गेमिफिकेशन और कई प्रकार की तकनीकी उन्नति के साथ शुरू होगा, जो सब विस्तृत रूप से सीमित एपिसोड के इस सीजन समाहित रहेगा। अभी तक की 'फोन अ फ्रेंड' लाइफलाइन को इस सीजन में 'वीडियो अ फ्रेंड' से बदल दिया जाएगा। इसके अलावा, एक नई कुशल शीर्षक वाली लाइफ लाइन 'जोड़ीदार' भी शुरू की गई है, जिसमें प्रतिभागी इस प्रसिद्ध हॉट सीट पर अपने साथ एक पार्टनर को शामिल करने के लिए ला सकते हैं। 7 करोड़ रुपए का जैकपॉट सवाल लाकर इस खेल को और भी ज्यादा मजेदार बनाया जाएगा। यह सबकुछ या कुछ भी नहीं वाला सौदा होगा, जहां प्रतिभागियों की बाकी बची लाइफलाइंस को खत्म कर दिया जाएगा। प्रसिद्ध लाइफ साइज चेक को डिजिटल मुद्रा में परिवर्तित किया जाएगा, जो एक्सिस बैंक के माध्यम से सीधे विजेता के खाते में जाएगी।

आम आदमी और समाज के प्रति उनकी उत्कृष्ट योगदान का सम्मान करने के वादे को आगे ले जाते हुए, श्री बच्चन खास एपिसोड में असल जिंदगी के नायकों को आमंत्रित करेंगे। इन लोगों को न केवल गेम खेलने का मौका दिया जाएगा बल्कि अपने ध्येय के समर्थन में देश तक पहुंचने के लिए एक प्लेटफार्म भी दिया जाएगा।

25 अगस्त को रात 9 बजे सोनी एंटरटेनमेंट टेलीविजन पर टेलीकास्ट किए जाने वाले खास 'अनावरण' एपिसोड में दर्शकों को भारत टेलीविजन पर कौन बनेगा करोड़पति के सफर को स्मरण करने का अवसर मिलेगा।

'कौन बनेगा करोड़पति' दर्शकों के समावेश को और भी बेहतर करके उन्हें इस खेल के और भी मजदीक लाएगा। जिओ सब्सक्राइबर अब घर बैठे जैकपॉट जीतो प्रतियोगिता में रोज भाग ले सकते हैं और हर रोज एक डैटसन रेडि—गो कार जीतने का मौका पा सकते हैं। पहली बार जिओ के सब्सक्राइबर्स के पास चालू गेम में 'साथ खेलने' और हॉट सीट पर बैठे प्रतिभागियों के साथ अपने ज्ञान की तुलना करने अवसर होगा। 

बिग सिनर्जी द्वारा निर्मित 'कौन बनेगा करोड़पति 9' के प्रायोजक हैं वीवो, जिओ, चिंग्स, डैटसन, रेमंड, एक्सिस बैंक, आकाश ट्यूटोरियल, बिग बाजार और क्विक हील। इस साल, इस कार्यक्रम में महज 7 दिनों में 19.8 मिलियन (1.98 करोड़) के रिकॉर्ड तोड़ पंजीकरण किए गए हैं।

टिप्पणियां:

एनपी सिंह, सीईओ, सोनी पिक्चर्स नेटवर्क्स इंडिया:

"कौन बनेगा करोड़पति (केबीसी) एक ऐसा कार्यक्रम है जिसने असाधारण रूप से जीवन के हर पहलू में लोगों की जिंदगी को छुआ है। यह कार्यक्रम ने हमेशा ही ज्ञान की ताकत से योग्यता के उदाहरण पेश किए हैं। इस परिज्ञान से प्रेरित होकर, केबीसी अपने 9वें संस्करण के साथ भारतीय टेलीविजन पर वापस आ रहा है, एक नए अवतार में जो कुछ गेमचेंजिंग नवाचार प्रदर्शित करता है।" 

दानीश खान, ईवीपी व बिजनस प्रमुख, सोनी एंटरटेनमेंट टेलीविजन (सेट)

"यह भारत के सबसे प्रासंगिक कार्यक्रमों में से एक है, सोनी एंटरटेनमेंट टेलीविजन विश्व टेलीविजन पर सबसे प्रसिद्ध मेजबान श्री अमिताभ बच्चन के साथ केबीसी का फास्ट पेस्ड, रोमांचक, तकनीकी रूप से अपग्रेडेड नौंवा संस्करण प्रस्तुत करके काफी खुश है।" 

अमिताभ बच्चन, प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और केबीसी 9 के मेजबान

"कौन बनेगा करोड़पति आद आदमी के सपनों और महत्वाकांक्षाओं को बढ़ावा देता है। यह कार्यक्रम मेरे दिल के बहुत करीब है और मैं सोनी एंटरटेनमेंट टेलीविजन पर इसके नौंवे संस्करण की मेजबानी करके खुश हूं।" 

सिद्धार्थ बसु

"हॉट सीट तक पहुंचने की कोशिश में पंजीकरण की भारी मात्रा इस कार्यक्रम की व्यापक प्रतीक्षा को दर्शाती है। पुराने प्रारूप के सबसे ज्यादा पसंद किए जाने वाले फीचर्स के साथ, दर्शक इस सीजन में कुछ अप्रत्याशित पाने की उम्मीद भी कर सकते हैं, सबसे प्रसिद्ध मेजबान अमिताभ बच्चन की अगुवाई में अनूठे फीचर्स, प्रतिभागियों की संलग्नता व जोशपूर्ण आयोजन के साथ एक टबो—चार्ज्ड संस्करण।"

Mantostaan-director Rahat Kazmi’s Rabbi, a burning satire on Islam and music

After two successful ovations and critical acclaim for his films Mantostaan and Side A Side B in Cannes, Rahat Kazmi, the young, effervescent directorwho doesn’t mince  words when it comes talking about the goings-on in the country, comes with Rabbi, a fresh story, this September, a  burning satire on whether Islam allows music or not!  

Says Rahat Kazmi of the film that is set again in Kashmir, “Rabbi is a satirical narration that tugs at your heartstrings, dealing with the clash of ideologies of the liberal, educated, modern Muslims and their conservative counterparts. The film focuses on love towards God instead of fear. I know I will raise more than few eyebrows, but filmmaking is all about making your voice heard, just the way I did in Mantostaan with my cinematic representation of Saadat Hasan Manto’s controversial stories weaved into a tale of the searing pain of the partition and the burning hearts that were torn apart by the line drawn across India slicing it into India and Pakistan.”​

Coming back to Rabbi, the film is the story of the rise and fall of a young musician essayed by fresh face Furqan Merchant and Bidita Bag (of Babumoshai Bandookbaaz fame), and touches a chord with Rahat’s own upbringing in a family of Sufis and his own experiences and the stand that he chooses to take in life. 

Apart from Furqan Merchant and Bidita Bag in the lead roles, the film stars Raghubir Yadav, Dolly Ahluwalia, Brijendra Kala, Virendra Saxena, Shoib Nikash Shah, Manini Mishra, Pooja Gupta among others. Sanjay Amar is the writer. Rabbi is produced by Rahat Kazmi, Zeba Sajid and Sanjay Amar, ​co-produced by Tariq Khan in association with Mediamark International Corp. Canada, with Zahid Qureshi as Line Producer. Rabbi is presented by  Jitesh  Kumar ​Films & ​Mujeeb-Ul-Hasan of UFI Productions. 

Rabbi has already won four awards including Best Director & Critics’ Choice at Rajasthan International Film Festival and is expected to raise a voice on the tenets of Islam,  in terms of music that are misrepresented by a few of its followers. 

Rabbi is all set to release on 15th September, 2017.
