the above list is as per movie gossips , new updates and various sources . if we missed out some of your favorite stars film . please post in the comment below we will surely add it .
a mysterious sum of money is credited into prithvi khurrana , a commoner ' s bank account . it is allegedly done by a top notorious don . this forms the crux of the film leading to subsequent comical situations .
i had really great experience over here . this is the largest film studio all over the world . it holds the guinness book record as a largest film studio and with the large number of sound stages . even the air - conditioned hotels and restaurants are built in it . the hotel tara and sitara guests are really treated as special . almost all the world locations are created over here . the people can \ ' t just take their hands on camera .
the auditions weren’t over though , and he , along with his competitors , was asked to follow shampa gopikrishna’s ( who worked on ‘ab tohe’ in bajirao mastani ) choreography . he then had to dance with the film’s actress , krystal ellsworth , to choreography by tessandra chavez , an emmy winner . and a couple of days later , when he finally learned that he was picked for the lead role , he couldn’t but be all emotional about it . it wasn’t every day that he was going to get cast as the hero of a hollywood film .
only it’s 2017 not the 70s , and whatever you might do – add some spit - and - polish and intrigue and new faces , and create funny dialogues – the film comes off as old wine , in a not very new bottle , which we have to sip for over 2 . 5 hours .
producer aparna hoshing of rash productions was calm and proud as she part took in the mahurat pooja along with director manish vatsalya . “ this is my third film , second with manish . i am confident in his abilities as a director and i’m sure everything will go without glitches , ” comments producer aparna hoshing .
baadshaho movie review : the women in the film are decorative . ileana d’cruz is togged out in regal chiffons , one of which remain spotless through the long proceedings . esha gupta’s role ( she hangs out with the three ' khazana chors ' ) seems to have been created simply to include a second pretty face .
nandamuri taraka rama rao junior is currently at the peak stage of his career with so many prodigious projects under his belt . after the enormous success of janatha garage , ntr ’s stardom has only amplified and is rapidly going higher by the day . ntr is now working on his upcoming film titled jai lava kusa which is being directed by ks ravindra aka bobby .

the last three weeks have been thoroughly draining for amitash . “i’ve been part of exhausting workshops . the dance routines have been really inspiring . ” i ask him if heartbeats is like step up , where the emphasis is more on dancing than on acting ; where each scene leads to the next big dance set - piece . he disagrees , “the whole film has an emotional quality about it . the lines ease into the dance . and at a time when america is waking up to bollywood in a big way , the film is just perfect . ” also , having been a theatre actor , english dialogues aren’t a problem for him at all . he’s quite happy that they’re not stereotyping his role either . “it won’t be like rajesh koothrappali’s in the big bang theory . ”

if you want to choose movie to watch as per directors name , then his name must be in top list of directors . he always has something new and different for odia film fans and luv u jessica is one the best example of it . the movie will be debut of odia television actress pralipta priyadarsini alias jessy . she will play a leading role in ‘love you jessica’ to be directed by susant mani .
i visited ramoji film city with my family and my 8 yrs old nephew . we had a great time at ramoji . the park was super clean and the staff were exceptional . we had meals at two restaurants ( vegetarian ) . they were clean and had great taste and service . buses were super clean and the frequency of the bus services was high . overall ramoji was the best part of our hyderabad trip .
jai lava kusa will have ntr play triple roles for the first time in his career and probably will be the first actor from the current lot of stars after mega star chiranjeevi , who played triple roles in mugguru monagallu , to play the three different roles in a film . it was a courageous decision by ntr to play the protagonist and the antagonist himself , which makes him only one of the few actors in south indian cinema after kamal haasan .
you can see the twists coming a mile off . but that’s also part of the masala - movie experience , this knowing what’s going to come up next . the surprise comes from how the audience reacts to sanjay mishra , who plays a wizened safe - cracker : he has some of the best lines in the film , and gets the maximum applause , even more than devgn who gets the mandatory hoots - and - whistles at the ‘hero’s entry’ , as well as hashmi , who is back in his familiar skirt - chasing loutish avatar .
amitash pradhan , or as you probably know him , ‘amul baby’ of velaiyilla pattadhari , would have laughed in your face if you’d gone to him after the success of vip and asked if hollywood was next for him . he was , after all , struggling to land a decent role in tamil cinema , despite all the acclaim that poured in for his performance in vip . he apologises in advance for his clichéd response , and says , “i was waiting for the right script . ” but it never came . until life , that strange thing , got him a role in a hollywood film . and made him a hero , no less .
it all happened when a casting agent called him out of the blue and asked if he could dance . “i’d like to think so . ” he had , after all , won prizes dancing at his school’s culturals . he had even spent a few days training at the verb school of dance in chennai . at the time of this call , amitash had little idea that he was auditioning for the role of a choreographer in a hollywood dance film , that’d be directed by duane adler , who you probably know as the writer of the step up movies . this was dance of a higher calibre ; not of the high - school variety that amitash had originally assumed would do .
in the morning . i learned it from my father . whoever drinks it doesn ' t get up for two - three days . it is a lovely
that i make . then i will play holi with kids ,
he said and added that he and his friends will gather on his terrace to play with colours .

because it’s the old masala entertainment genre , we sit back and enjoy a few familiar guilty pleasures — the item song ( sunny leone shaking it ) , the ‘seeti - maar’ dialogues ( the deep - seated misogyny in a few make you cringe , even as you hear , without a shred of surprise , bunches of young men guffawing ) , the cheerful absence of logic ( what’s that ) , and coherent plot points .
the women are decorative . d’cruz is togged out in regal chiffons , one of which remain spotless through the long proceedings . her make - up stays intact too . gupta’s role ( she hangs out with the three ‘khazana chors’ ) seems to have been created simply to include a second pretty face . but we don’t blink , because we know these are all masala movie imperatives .

you may not have noticed , but adam sandler has a new comedy in theaters . the cobbler , which is also out on vod , has gotten only a nominal theatrical release , tiny , in fact , for a star like sandler . but that ' s not surprising , considering it has the distinction of being the worst reviewed movie at the 2014 toronto international film festival . the cobber ' s dismal 7 % on rotten tomatoes isn ' t actually an unusual thing for a sandler film — he ' s proven himself critic - proof long before reviled hits like jack and jill and grown ups — but the drubbing is definitely a new experience for the cobbler ' s director : indie darling thomas mccarthy .

let me in got rave reviews from film critics , but did so - so at the box office . some people believe that the low turnout was due to people who refused to go see it out of sheer bitter spite ( or on simple principle ) because it ' s an american remake of a foreign film . but what really killed let me in was distributor relativity media ( who acquired the film from starz due to buying the overture distribution outlet from them ) giving the film the invisible advertising treatment . there were few trailers or tv spots released and the film wasn ' t even listed on relativity ' s website . not helping the film was that the company chose to open it the same day as the social network ( a film relativity co - financed with sony ) .

in the process , calvert completely re - edited the film , removing many of williams ' s scenes and adding songs and voice - overs that he felt would make it more marketable . animation done under calvert was not up to williams ' s standards . calvert ' s version was issued by majestic films international in australia and south africa in 1993 as the princess and the cobbler . this was later reedited with additional voiceovers by miramax family films in the united states in 1995 as arabian knight ( later released under the film ' s original title , the thief and the cobbler , on home video ) . neither version was a box office success , being released to only a handful of theaters . however , what survives of williams ' s original vision for his unfinished film has given the film a legendary status among animation professionals and fans , who consider it a cult film and every bit the masterpiece it was intended to be .

persistence of vision is a 2012 documentary by kevin schreck , about richard williams and the doomed production of the thief and the cobbler , which the film calls
the greatest animated film never made .
it has received many awards at festivals and has gotten a very positive critical reception . garrett gilchrist and helge bernhardt of the recobbled cut and richard williams archive provided rare materials to schreck for his production , which was funded via kickstarter .
williams took on television and feature - film title projects in order to fund his pet project , and work on his film progressed slowly . in 1969 , the guide noted that animator ken harris was now working on the project , which was now entitled the amazing nasruddin . the illustrations from the film showed intricate indian and persian designs .

the cobbler became mccarthy’s next film due to some scheduling changes . the filmmaker had originally planned to helm spotlight , based on the boston globe ‘s efforts to expose child abuse within the catholic church . however , the project is still looking for a new studio , after parting ways with dreamworks , and has yet to finalize any casting .
the castings were announced on tuesday , two days after the studio made a presentation to buyers at the american film market in santa monica .
this film was originally seen for advice , at which stage the company was informed it was likely to be classified 15 but that their preferred 12a could be achieved by reducing two scenes featuring blood and injury detail . when the film was submitted for formal classification , these scenes had been reduced acceptably and the film was therefore classified 12a .

an all - star cast , including dustin hoffman , ellen barkin and steve buscemi , haven ' t saved the film from savage reviews . bilge ebiri wrote in his vulture review : “maybe the cobbler was supposed to be something more dramatic and emotional but wound up getting neutered when a top - flight comedian became involved . who knows ? besides , it ' s not for us to figure out the details of where this production went wrong . all we can do is watch the finished film , marvel at the wreckage , and lament the talent involved . ” the review was headlined

the cobbler
may seem like a heartwarming tale from it ' s trailers , but on screen it is just a string of things that do not work whatsoever . adam sandler leads this film as the fourth generation son in his family to become a cobbler , repairing the shoes of customers in need . after stumbling upon the fact that each pair of his customers shoes allows him to literally step into their shoes and become them , an unfocussed storyline ensues . from drugs , to robbery , to murder , this film is all over the place , while still trying to give you the emotional undertone it promises from the very beginning . i was disappointed with how little dustin hoffman is in this film , but adam sandler does hold it together with a solid performance , and that was sadly one of the only decent parts of this picture . it never strives to be anything more and never has a full explanation . i feel that the writers should have fleshed out this story more and had more cohesive events building up to the twist . overall , this is a pretty forgettable film , with nice performances and a lived in atmosphere . i admired a few aspects , but it kept failing on it ' s promise too much for me to care .

what’s so bizarre about “the cobbler” is that it was directed by a man who , up to this point , had never helmed even a mediocre film , much less a disaster . if this was just another happy madison joint , it might make more sense , but thomas mccarthy has proven himself deft at presenting us complex characters in films like “the visitor” and “win win . ” by the end of those pieces , we really felt like we had walked a mile in someone else’s shoes , and were richer for the experience . only masochists are made richer by

the cobbler is sandler branching out , certainly ; the prospect of an affecting human drama helmed by indie auteur darling tom mccarthy must have been an exciting one , light - years away from the likes of jack and jill . mccarthy , for his part , went on to score big at the oscars with spotlight , nabbing best picture and best original screenplay in the process . with this kind of pedigree behind the camera , sandler would seem the obvious scapegoat to blame if the cobbler turned out to be a unique milestone in what - the - fuck cinema .
so it was hardly surprising that in cobbler nevada , llc v . gonzales ( ord 15 - cv - 00866 ) defense counsel david h . madden moved to dismiss this claim , which was count 2 of the complaint .
the cobbler has been panned by critics . on rotten tomatoes , the film has a rating of 11 % , based on 46 reviews , with a rating of 3 / 10 . the site ' s critical consensus reads ,
the cobbler represents a slight step up from adam sandler ' s recent comedies , but while its cloying sentiment proves a more palatable substitute for his usual crass humor , it still isn ' t terribly compelling .
on metacritic , the film has a score of 22 out of 100 , based on 21 critics , indicating
generally unfavorable reviews
. uri klein of haaretz pointed out that while the cobbler is
one of the few times in sandler ' s career in which he has chosen to work for a director with a certain pedigree
, and
the plot has fantastical impersonation elements that links it to comedians of an earlier era , such as jerry lewis and danny kaye
, the result is unsatisfying in terms of both plot and characters . ( wikipedia )

for half the film , “the cobbler” is a well - intentioned but dull affair—a modern fairy tale about stepping into someone else’s shoes that doesn’t do nearly enough with its thematically dense high concept . the piece has no thematic resonance at all because writer / director thomas mccarthy and co - writer paul sado fail to get beyond the superficial . we don’t learn anything about the people that max becomes . in fact , the film is almost defiant in its judgment of books by their covers . he becomes the genetically blessed stevens and a girl hits on him . he becomes his dad and his mom treats him as if he is her lost partner . “the cobbler” suggests that walking a mile in someone else’s shoes will make you look like that person but not actually experience anything else about them .

is it game over for adam sandler ? his new comedy , “ pixels , ” opened over the weekend to a mediocre $ 24 million , a disappointing result for the $ 88 million project . sandler’s latest box office lemon comes on the heels of “the cobbler” ( sandler’s lowest - grossing title ever , which opened to just $ 24 , 000 from 20 theaters in march ) , 2014’s “blended” ( the drew barrymore reteaming that mustered $ 46 million ) , “that’s my boy” ( a pairing with andy samberg that eked out $ 37 million ) and “jack and jill” ( the cross - dressing comedy that landed some of the worst reviews of his career ) . his only recent hits have been the 2013 sequel to “grown ups” ( which netted $ 133 million ) and “hotel transylvania , ” an animated film that didn’t require him to be onscreen .

“the cobbler” is almost fascinatingly awful enough to recommend . if one subscribes to the theory that you can learn as much from a bad movie as from a good one , this one’s a master class in what not to do . what starts off as purely harmless mediocrity piles on the narrative and filmmaking mistakes to such a degree that it’s like watching a train wreck…that bursts into flames…and then another train crashes into it . there’s something perversely fascinating about a film that doesn’t just go off the rails but does so in such misguided fashion . and it’s all the more remarkable when you consider that “the cobbler” was made by an undeniably talented filmmaker , the man who has given the world great films like “ the station agent , ” “ the visitor , ” and “ win win . ” this film is so inferior to those works that it almost disproves the auteur theory on its own .

for all the cult interest in the thief and the cobbler now , schreck’s film doesn’t shy away from showing the problems williams encountered . like the fact that the film’s protagonist bore a striking resemblance to jafar from walt disney’s aladdin ( 1992 ) , a fact that could pose a liability for williams ' s studio , warner bros . “it ' s hard to say how much was deliberate theft , accidental inspiration , or mere coincidence , ” schreck says of the likeness , allowing that it might be a combination of the three . all the same , a bad situation : “whatever it is , it wasn ' t good for williams . ”
it especially wasn’t good for williams’s testy relationship with warner bros . , and would be one of the reasons why the studio contractually pulled the thief and the cobbler from his control . ( others included the fact he couldn’t make their preordained deadline , and they didn’t like an initial rough cut . ) warner bros . installed the film at miramax family films , which ultimately butchered schreck’s vision—making it more disneyesque , with a slick musical soundtrack—under the new title arabian knight ( 1995 ) .
