Eros Now’s original short movie ‘A Monsoon Date’ to be screened at 10th Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival

Eros Now’s original short film ‘A Monsoon Date’ is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Tanuja Chandra and written by Gazal Dhaliwal. Revolving around love, friendship and acceptance, ‘A Monsoon Date’ featuring Konkona Sen Sharma is a moving story of a woman who is set to reveal her most personal secret to her lover.

The original short film streaming on Eros Now has been already making waves at prestigious film festivals, which certainly speaks volume of the Konkona Sen Sharma-starrer.

The short movie which was premiered at MAMI Film Festival last year was recently screened at the prestigious DFW South Asian Film Festival 2019, one of the largest South Asian fests in North America, held from May 16 to 19, 2019.

The original short film has been selected for screening at 10th Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival in the non-competitive category scheduled from 12th-16th June, 2019.

Commenting on the short film’s popularity, director Tanuja Chandra says, “The next one is Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival which we are really looking forward to as it marks their 10th anniversary this year. I think short films internationally are far more respected and loved as a format than in India. But with digital platforms emerging in India, short films will gain popularity in India. That was the intention of showcasing it at as many festivals as possible.”

Abhay Deol’s conflict with Ladoos revealed on The Kapil Sharma Show

The upcoming weekend will be filled with laughter and joy starring Abhay Deol and Mithila Palkar who will be seen promoting their film, ‘Chopsticks’ on Sony Entertainment Television’s The Kapil Sharma Show. During the show, laughter queen Archana Puran Singh had some intriguing insights to share about her fellow actor, Abhay Deol. It was revealed that during the shoot of, ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!’, Abhay was following  very strict diet and on the other hand, Archana obliged him to eat laddoos. Not deviating from his regime, Abhay refused to eat the laddoos and successfully managed to control his cravings.

While the duo was shooting for the film Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Archana Puran Singh confessed that she had a hard time convincing Abhay Deol to have laddoos who at that time, was following a strict diet for his then upcoming role in the critically acclaimed film, ‘Dev D’. But now, the actor who is off detox mode, enjoys gorging on some tasty ladoos. While all of us enjoy eating them with our hands, Abhay came up with the unique way of enjoying them. He uses chopsticks! He certainly believes in eating freely while he promotes his upcoming film. 

Furthermore, when Kapil Sharma asked if the goat in his upcoming film is being taken care of, the actor revealed that the goat has a separate team for make-up and diet to which the comedian had a walk down memory lane saying, “When Ajay Devgn came here as a guest to promote his film, he revealed that he kept pet animals in front of a cooler to make them feel comfortable.” 

Watch The Kapil Sharma Show every Saturday and Sunday, 9:30PM only on Sony Entertainment Television!

Cosmos-Maya’s WowKidz goes regional with 10 Indian languages

Cosmos Maya, India’s largest animation production company is redefining the way Indian audience is consuming animated content. The company’s bouquet of 28 YouTube channels under umbrella brand WowKidz now has its content available in all major languages, namely Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Marathi, Bhojpuri and Haryanvi, along with Hindi and English.

Though the foray has been recent, videos on Gujarati and Bengali channels have more than a million hits in less than 2 weeks. Children have been deprived of content in their mother tongue for long and WowKidz has been able to bridge that gap. The move gives the diaspora audience, which constitutes a large percentage of WowKidz’s 21 million subscribers, an opportunity to ‘Go Back to the Roots’.

 Kids in India, over the years have been watching foreign shows. The country’s mobile and data revolutions have given the masses a great opportunity. YouTube in particular, has been a big winner in this regard. Building on this, Cosmos Maya is changing the landscape of Indian animation industry by providing homegrown animation content to the Indian viewers and is also gaining traction internationally.

Anish Mehta, CEO Cosmos-Maya said, “We now provide content to millions of Indian children in their preferred language. They have given us a rousing reception and we will not stop until the length and breath of the country is covered. Wherever there is internet and smartphone penetration, there will be WowKidz providing best in class entertainment in the language of choice. Today we have 10 Indian languages. 10 more will be added in due course. Even the Indian diaspora audiences are rejoicing as WowKidz has given them an avenue to reconnect with their Indian roots and inculcate in children the goodness of their culture.”
