Tu Hai Mera Sunday – Day 943

.

In the maddening congestion of Mumbai five regular guys share a common goal: to play football at Juhu Beach every Sunday. While each one has their reason to look forward to the Sunday morning, there’s no doubt it’s a high point of their week.

One Sunday, as a result of the actions of a senile old stranger who joins their game, a ban is issued on playing games at Juhu Beach. The group now has to look for a new place to play in the crowded city of Mumbai. More than just football, the film is about each of their lives and how each one deals with their own physical and emotional space.

Produced by Varun Shah, the movie features ensemble, written and directed by ad filmmaker Milind Dhaimade who quit advertising at the height of his career to make films. In 2010, he along with his wife Rajul, started Love & Faith a film making and design company. So far he has directed over 100 TV commercials.

Neelkanthi – Day 937

By Uncategorized

neelkanthi-3

Reviving dying art forms and weaving a story with it was quite a task, but it shaped up well for Kulvindar Bakshi who is excited for his upcoming production Neelkanthi and what’s more he was able to rope in able actor Sandeep Kulkarni as well. Bakshi says, “The play is about the plight of a common man and to make it interesting we fused various art forms such as Thang – Ta, Chahu, Keibul Lamjao and many more”

Call it coincidence that Kulkarni had been looking for an opportunity to return to theatre and Neelkanthi was the right vehicle to return after eight years.” Another interesting facet about the play will be live painting by artist Manoj Maurya followed by an exhibition.

Ek Kanth Vishpayee connects the very existence of God and human in a chain. Lord Shiva is feared for his anger and manuscripts reveal that God exists in human beings. Each one of us is capable of disturbing the balance of nature and each one of us can control it if we swallow the poison of suffering. It is a matter of perspective.

Fashionista Sonam Kapoor opens up not only about her siblings but also about her co-actors! Sonam, who conducts herself as no less than a princess actually feels that Abhay Deol is a diva in reality!

Sonam Kapoor re-counted an extremely amusing incident with Abhay Deol during the shoot of Ranjhanaa and called him a little princess!Talking about the scene where they are shown cleaning up a slum in the film, Sonam narrated how Abhay Deol was extremely shocked to hear that they would have to actually clean up the slum for the shot.

Neha Dhupia, who worked with Abhay in an indie flick Ek Chaalis ki Last Local, joked about another incident where he requested for blueberry wholewheat muffins for snacks and the two actresses went on to talk about their fondness for him.
