Learn Film making while making afilm.

 Yes,this is the methodology and concept of ZEE Institute of Media Arts’ (ZIMA) newcourse ‘HAND ON FILM MAKING’, forwhich admissions are now open.
Tillnow, budding film makers had only one way of learning film making. That is toattend theory classes, do some practical work, attend some workshops and make aproject film to pass out. But now ZIMA has completely changed the scenario bylaunching Hands On Film Making coursewhich focuses on teaching film making to the students by making them a part ofa film. It focuses on Learning by doing.
Onlyway to become a successful film maker one needs to experience a film beingmade. Mr. Anshuman Choudhary, the General Manager of ZIMA who confirmed thedevelopment regarding this course, says, “Can you learn swimming withoutentering the pool? Can you learn cycling without actually riding one? Than howcan you learn film making without actually experiencing it. Film Making is anart and a craft. Art because it includes creativity and craft because it has aprocess too. Every year millions of budding film makers across the diverse landof India belonging to different cultures come to Mumbai to realize their dream.A dream of becoming a film maker, a dream of seeing their beautiful concepts onthe big screen. Armed with passion and willingness they keep their first stepin Mumbai hoping that their lives will change. But if passion alone could decidevictory, Napoleon would have ruled the world. Channelizing this passion in theright direction is equally important and that’s what this course aims at doing.It’s a great moment for ZIMA which according to me is one of the only instituteof India that focuses on the practical development of students. Keeping this inmind we have introduced this course. A student will learn film making byactually being a part of the film.”
Withthe brand backing of ZEE, this course will be highly beneficial to budding filmmaking talents of this country and when they complete the course they will be ONEFILM OLD. Adds Mr. Choudhary, “I am highly obliged that ZIMA gave me anopportunity to be a part of something as revolutionary as this. It’s indeed anhonor. A student will experience the process of filmmaking under an experiencedfilm maker. A student will be a part of every process the film goes throughright from pre production to production to post production and his name beingshown on the credit roll because credentials do matter a lot in our industry?”

Samurai Dutt-Sanjay Dutt in never seen before avatar

For all those who have been waiting for hardcore Sanjay Dutt style action, your wait is over! For director Soham Shah’s upcoming untitled film,the stylish actor has done some unique sword fighting action stunts in a never-been-seen before avatar! To everyone’ssurprise Dutt did not require any training to perform the sequence and evenfinished it days before the planned schedule. How he did that is another story.
Apparently, the actor had mastered the skill of using the Samurai sword ages ago, even before his first film Rocky! Very little is known aboutthis talent of the actor because he never got a chance to flaunt it. The actor’slate father, veteran actor Sunil Dutt had sent Jr. Dutt to Japan to learn thisform of martial art for a year even before his career began.
And today,years later when he was informed about the sequence in the film he put everyoneat ease on the sets letting them know that it’s a piece of cake for him and that he would do all the stuntshimself.
In fact DirectorSoham challenges any younger generation star to achieve the kind of perfectionand body language that Dutt Saab has. “He has done a lot of cable work andsword fights. He used the Samurai with such ease and comfort. We owe this toSunil Dutt saab who had the foresight to send Sanjay to Japan to learn the art”, quipped the director.
The action has been choreographed by action director Kanal Kannan who has done a huge body of work down south. The unit memberswere heard saying, “We’ve never seen Sanjay sir with this energy before. He isstriking back and he’ll kill it this time.”
The film, whichis produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Pvt Ltd is 95 percent complete with only a few songs and patch-work left. The film also stars Vivek Oberoi, Humaima Mallik and KarishmaTanna along with Dutt.

यहकसूर मेरा है -- सोनू कक्कड़

‘यह कसूर मेरा है’ यह गीत गाया है बाबू जीफेम गायिका सोनू कक्कड ने फिल्म ‘जिस्म -२’ में. यह गीत आजकल श्रोताओं में बहुतलोकप्रिय हो रहा है. प्यार में डूबा यह गीत ऐसा है जिसे बार -- बार सुनने को जीकरता है. मिथुन ने ही इसे लिखा है और संगीत भी उसी का है. हालाँकि सोनू ने पहले ‘‘बाबूजी जरा धीरे चलो’’ जैसा आयटम नंबर गाया था जो आज भी याना गुप्ता की पहचान बना हुआहै. ऐसा तड़क - भडक आयटम नंबर गाने वाली सोनू की आवाज़ में इस तरह का शांत गीत जिसमेंसंगीत बहुत ही कम है, बहुत ही अच्छा है सुनने में.
यह गीत सोनू को अलग ही ऊँचाई परपहुँचायेगा. यह गीत ऐसा नही है जिसे श्रोता जल्दी ही भूल जायेगे बल्कि कानों कोसुकून पहुंचाने वाले इस गीत को लंबे समय तक याद रखेगें.
