Presidential Honor for Filmmaker Sandeep Modi’s ‘Best Friends Forever’

The heart-warming tale of a mother-daughter relationship – ‘Best Friends Forever’, helmed by Sandeep Modi, is creating quite a stir in the world of short films.

Sandeep even won the National Award for this educational short film, which was adjudged as the 'Best Film on Family Values' at the recently announced prestigious awards.

Talking about the film, Sandeep who is an alumni of FTII Pune and a renowned name in the advertising industry said, “Best Friends Forever is a perspective. What happens when we build our life towards a loved one, nurture her, support her and when she is ready to fly off we feel jealous and betrayed as we are not ready for the selflessness expected of us? I wanted to discover the emotional state of a mother who has given it all and is now on the brink, realizing she is no longer needed as her daughter is now ready to ‘fly solo’. Between the anger and the coming to term with this truth, are many beautiful shades of gray we don’t realize exist in mothers.  Best Friends Forever is my attempt to discover these shades that a woman overcomes, in her journey of selflessness called motherhood.”

Sandeep, who  started his career in films assisting noted film-maker likes Ram Gopal Verma (Sarkar Raj), RakeyshOmprakashMehra (Delhi 6),  and AshutoshGowariker (Khelein Hum JeeJaanSey), was last associated with the much acclaimed Sonam Kapoor starrer Neerja. Sandeep had designed, choreographed, and executed the action climax inside the airplane. He even directed the promotional music video for the film titled 'AankheinMilayengeyDarr Se'.

While ‘Best Friends Forever’ is continuing to wow the audience, Sandeep is ready with his next short film 'Vanvaas', starring legendary Piyush Mishra in the lead. The film has already travelled and played at festivals in Toronto and Dallas

Meet Bros changing mindsets

After delivering one party hit after the other, Meet Bros have also set their mark in romantic songs with the success of their song, ‘Ijazat’ from the film One Night Stand. The musical duo's ‘Girl I Need You’ and ‘Cham Cham’ from Baaghi were also romantic songs and have received a very positive response by the audience.

Their stint with party songs began with ‘Baby Doll’ and that became such a huge hit that it overpowered all their other songs. In fact they also got Salman Khan to sing their song ‘Hangover’, which was a romantic song from the film ‘Kick’. The year 2015 had everyone dancing to Meet Bros’ song ‘Chitiyaan Kalaaiyaan’ from the film ‘Roy’. The duo swept away all the awards for their music in ‘Roy’ (Meet Bros have won eight awards this season). 2016 showed a complete different side of their music, which as well was also accepted and loved by the audience.

Talking about the audience forming a notion of associating only party songs with Meet Bros, Harmeet from Meet Bros says, “The happiest news for us is that everyone has  realised Meet Bros are not just about party songs — like how people think Mithun makes only romantic songs. We didn’t make an effort. We got stuck with this label because Baby Doll became such a big hit.”

About gradually changing the notion, Manmeet adds, “We are melody guys. In the next 10-15 years, when people look back at your career they will say Meet Bros are the romantic song guys.”

Party Song or not, the brothers are certainly taking over the Bollywood scene with their melodious numbers one after the other. Here’s wishing the duo all the luck for their future ventures. Meet Bros will be next seen in their single with T-Series, which is soon to release!
