Month: July 2020

Dr Abdul Rehman Vanoo,  is elected as Hon. General Secretary of   Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation,he is a man of integrity, hard work and excellence. He always had a vision to uplift and upgrade the technicians of hindi film industry and he has taken huge efforts in that direction.

We all know how the lockdown and the pandemic has proved to be very tough for the daily wage workers, specially technicians in the film world. Dr Vanoo was responsible for sending daily essentials and money to the needy during this period even in the outskirts of Mumbai areas like Virar and Palghar. He said, “The industry is not filled with just actors, producers, writers and directors. While the spotlight is always on them in most award functions, we feel that the technicians including spotboys, cameramen and lakhs of people who work for their daily wages on the sets are also contributing to making a film and the final product. So, we made sure that they do not suffer during this period. We supplied daily essentials to them in various parts of Mumbai.”

Dr Vanoo has also helped the Mumbai Police and provided them with essentials during the lockdown. The Mumbai Police had set up a quarantine centre in Kalina, Santacruz and Dr Vanoo helped in providing many services to them. Borivali, Dharavi and many other areas have been provided with daily essentials by Dr Vanoo’s organisation. He said, “Many people lost their jobs and we decided to give them work and food. And this was not only restricted to Mumbai. We provided these facilities and daily essentials to Delhi, Pune and many other cities in India. We also researched on how people deal with mental health during the lockdown. And in addition, we also continue to maintain healthcare facilities and providing jobs to daily wage workers. The government is also giving us good support.”
       

The daily wage workers of Dadasaheb Foundation were also badly affected. Dr Vanoo said, “We took a huge list of addresses of these workers and provided them with food, daily essentials, groceries and medical support to the entire staff. Nalasopara, Mira Road and many others areas, we transported daily essential services. Since we were working with Mumbai Police, we had a pass to travel to different areas and therefore, a big thanks to the Police department, since we could use this pass in helping others.”

In addition, Dr Vanoo is also working towards uplifting and upgrading the skills of these technicians. He said, “Most of these workers have come to the city to earn their daily bread. They are not educated. So, we motivate them to study further and make them self-reliant. We also encourage them to learn special skills, which in turn would help them in the filmmaking process. I feel this is important for the people of our country and the film industry.”

After a three-month wait, U.A.E. based Zen Film Productions is set to release yet another short film saga under the ‘Ouija’ series banner, which specifically delves into and blurs the lines between horror, mystery, and the supernatural. In continuation to the local success of social awareness short films like The Power, A Dark Tale, The Peril and more, ‘Specter’ is set to take psychological terror to a new dimension.

The ten-minute film sees a public figure, played by filmmaker and CEO of Zen Film Productions Zenofar Fathima, struggling to overcome her inner demons, as she sets out to explore an unprecedented presence.

Zen met up with multiple bloggers, Vloggers and local reporters in UAE on Thursday evening to formally announce the movie series. Talking to the media present, Zen says “I think I’ve given my best to this film, it’s something new and I have taken on a new role like never seen before in my past films.”

The series is currently being filmed during the Coronavirus outbreak with all safety precautions being adhered to, which is a challenging, yet rare phenomena for most filmmakers at this time. The series’ first episode premiered exclusively on Zee Cinemas Middle East (Channel 676 on Etisalat and Channel 179 on Du) on Thursday, 16th July at 11pm GST, and 12.30am IST.

“For the Indian and rest of the world viewers, the series shall be made shortly available on an OTT platform,” Zenofar stated.

Zen, as she’s called in her social circles, is a Dubai based entrepreneur, socialite, producer and actor who has been generating relevant, exclusive and original content since 2018, under her banner Zen Film Productions.

Her foray into short films begun with the ‘Enigma’ series – a collection of short film series based on social awareness. Some of the prominent ones being ‘A Dark Tale,’ based on domestic violence,

‘The Peril,’ a film delving into the imminent dangers of technology, and ‘The Power,’ a spiritual tale of believing in miracles.

Her persona as an actor has been resonated through projects like The Pit, The Peril, Hope and the newest to the bunch – Specter. She has been widely written about in almost all the leading Gulf media brands.

Zen has spent the most of her lockdown time, especially through public service announcement campaigns to raise awareness for those struggling to cope with depression and negative thoughts and the ways to overcome them.

~The nail biting suspense drama marks ShemarooMe’s inaugural attempt at offering consumers a handpicked assortment of rare, distinct and high quality cinema on the Box Office platform~

Mumbai, July 25th, 2020: The launch of ShemarooMe Box Office has created quite a stir as it promises to stream some unreleased and lesser known gems. The audience, deprived of going to the movies, has been breathlessly waiting for this “Box Office” to open its innings. The wait is finally over, as “My Client’s Wife” is scheduled to be the first film to release on the video platform on 31^st of July 2020.

An edge of the seat journey that keeps you guessing throughout, “My Client’s Wife” boasts of an ensemble featuring Indian cinema’s finest talents. Sharib Hashmi of Filmistaan fame along with Gulaal’s Abhimanyu Singh and Finding Fannyactress Anjali Patil headline the cast. It tells the story of a married couple played  by Abhimanyu and Anjali, and the crimes they accuse each other of. The plot thickens as Sharib enters the scene as an inquisitive lawyer.  Who is to be trusted? What is real? What is fiction? The film answers these questions as it takes you on a rollercoaster.

“The plot is the superstar of our film”, says producer Bhasker Tiwari. “Not very often has this kind of concept been experimented with in India. It is an ode to Hitchcock. Also, in this day and age of “stay at home”, ShemarooMe Box Office is the best medium for viewers to catch it. Box Office will prove to be a huge opportunity for passionate film makers who don’t have the bandwidth of big studios”, he concludes.

Sharib Hashmi, essaying the role of a no nonsense lawyer says, “Watching a new movie at a screen near you is a blissful feeling. It’s amazing that ShemarooMe with Box Office will usher back this experience.” Talking about the movie, the Slumdog Millionaire star says, “Once I read the script, it was a no brainer that I’m all in, an added bonus was the opportunity to work with Abhimanyu and Anjali.”

Abhimanyu Singh, who plays the devious husband Raghuram, says, “The way we tell stories changes as time files. The fact that “My Client’s Wife” will reach a much larger audience on ShemarooMe Box Office than with a limited release fills me with joy.” He also adds, “I wish I could divulge more about my role or the film, but the lesser you know the better, expect the unexpected is all I say”.

While writing the character of Sindoora Singh, played by Anjali Patil, Writer & Director Prabhakar Meena Bhaskar Pant said, “My Client’s Wife is an intelligent thriller. The story is peppered with twists and turns and Anjali’s character is wickedly grey.” Excited about the film premiering on the Box Office platform, he adds, “We live in a digital world, even more so now. With everyone staying in, it’s a brilliant effort to deliver some truly “different” movies to people. I’m gung ho about the film coming to ShemarooMe Box Office”.

“My Client’s Wife” is just the beginning, as ShemarooMe Box Office is ready with movies from all over the country for audiences to feast over. From “Scotland”, the internationally acclaimed drama to “Graham Staines, Ek Ankahi Sachhai: The Least of These”, starring Sharman Joshi along with a reputed international cast. “The Hidden Strike”, an intense action entertainer will also feature on the platform, and many more interesting surprises are expected to be revealed soon.

Patrons will be able to log on to ShemarooMe or BookMyShow to purchase tickets for these releases, and that’s not all, each movie can be viewed an unlimited number of times for three days, all at the nominal cost of 100 INR.

चीन के 59 एप्स बैन,मोदी सरकार ने किया डिजिटल सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक : आशुतोष पोद्दार “हीरा”

बेगूसराय, 30 जून 2020 : देश और देशवासियों की सुरक्षा को ध्यान में रखते हुए केंद्र की नरेंद्र मोदी सरकार द्वारा चीन के 59 एप्स को बैन करने के फैसले को बेगूसराय भाजपा के जिला महामंत्री आशुतोष पोद्दार “हीरा” ने स्वागत किया है। उन्होंने मोदी सरकार के इस कदम को डिजिटल सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक बताया है। इस बाबत उन्होंने प्रेस विज्ञप्ति जारी कर कहा कि कल रात आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी की सरकार ने एक और सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक किया है। उन्होंने इस बार चीन पर डिजिटल सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक किया है। हम उनके इस फैसले का स्वागत करते हैं।

आशुतोष पोद्दार “हीरा” ने कहा कि भारत अब किसी की गीदड़ भभकी सहन नहीं करने वाला है। चीन जैसे मौका परस्त देशों को ये बात समझ लेना चाहिए। हमने उन्हें अपना बाजार दिया, जिससे उनकी अर्थव्यवस्था का एक बड़ा हिस्सा चलता है। लेकिन वही चीन पीठ पीछे वार करने से नही चूकता है। ऐसे में मोदी सरकार द्वारा यह फैसला बेहद उचित और सही समय पर लिया गया है। बीते दिनों चीन ने धोखे से हमारे 20 जवानों को शहीद कर दिया, उसके बाद चीन के साथ अब बातचीत जैसा कोई रिश्ता नहीं बचता। हमारे जवानों की शहादत बेकार नहीं जाएगी और चीन को उसकी औकात बताने के दिशा में मोदी सरकार का यह पहला कदम है।

उन्होंने कहा कि देश की आर्थिक हालात को मजबूत करना है, तो हम सबों को प्रधानमंत्री जी की आत्मनिर्भर मुहिम से जुड़ना होगा। स्वदेश अपनाना होगा। वोकल से लोकल होना होगा।
