in a recent trial , totally impermeable film ( tif ) was laid out over salinas fields to prevent the fumigant from leaking . the new film was compared with the standard film used by growers . fumigant concentrations under tif were 46 percent to 54 percent higher than under standard film , and the higher concentrations were correlated with higher strawberry yields and better weed control . scientists report these findings in detail in the october–december 2011 electronic edition of the university of california’s california agriculture journal .
strawberry fields will be released in april 2012 as part of soda pictures ' new british cinema quarterly ( nbcq ) platform .

described by the guardian as ‘a terrific british debut [ … filled ] with lush , summery images and an alluringly mysterious central relationship between two sisters’ , strawberry fields both mesmerises and confuses . redeemingly , lea’s direction provides the film with some beautiful shots and stunning visuals of the kent landscapes .
this low - budget film is punctuated by nicely staged moments that make great use of the kent backdrop of lush fields , coastal spots and rural idyll , and while the script is subtle enough the film is often played with too much quivering and quirky emotion to really convince .

the strawberry picking backdrop is appealing – despite the fact that these pickers never seem to work overly hard ( it is back - breaking work after all ) and have far too much time for fun in the sun – and the locations evocative , but despite having strong moments strawberry fields never quite sustains the psycho - drama it is striving for .

co - star emun elliott provides the sisters with a physical problem as gillian struggles to escape the confines of her sister’s strong hold to enjoy time with him . lust and love fill strawberry fields and help aid the confusion the film portrays . gillian enters the film , seemingly normally , riding a bike . her actions soon evoke question marks and we watch as she steals clothes and presents herself under a new persona at a strawberry picking field . here she makes new friends that are confused to find she’s not quite who she says she is , a revelation made thanks to the arrival of her batty sister emily .
festival of art , music and creative expression strawberry fields has announced its exciting return for 2016 . not only will the festival return to the majestic murray river just outside of tocumwal , it will also expand , to create almost double the activities and acts presented in the past .
long hot summers ( a thing barely remembered here in the uk ) and shrill , vibrant , sexual drama do tend to go hand - in - hand , and while frances lea’s strawberry fields can never quite deliver when it comes to a needed dose of sweaty sexuality , it is fine as a quivering psychological drama as a pair of damaged sisters drive each other crazy while working as pickers at a strawberry farm .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
lea’s film soon loses its focus , veering away as it does from strawberry picking and instead settling itself in a realm of weirdness . the bond between the sisters , although forming the focus of the film , never feels fully explored and the murderous intent that grows in them both is ill explained . emily is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her sister , but we’re never quite sure why .

strawberry fields puts , to put it in one neat analogy , a lot of strawberries in one punnet . it explores the unbreakable bond held between siblings and the heady delights of summer . the sisters , gillian ( anna madeley ) and emily ( christine bottomley ) , are trying to cope with growing up and growing apart . although the actresses seem to be a little old to be experiencing such dilemmas , the problem is dealt with adeptly and the strangeness inherent in both their relationship and the film is palpable .
i liked this modest film , its unusual setting , its new - folk music ( by troubadour rose ) and its conscious echoes of a streetcar named desire .

emissions are a chief concern . methyl bromide , a widely used fumigant in combination with chloropicrin , has been phased out since 2005 because it is an ozone - depleting substance targeted by the montreal protocol ( a global treaty to control ozone depletion ) and the u . s . clean air act . however , it is still being used in some california strawberry fields under a critical - use exemption . restrictions on the use of 1 , 3 - d to 90 , 250 pounds per 36 - square - mile township ( called the township cap ) leave few other options for growers in key strawberry production areas near densely populated areas .
the strawberry industry is highly dependent on soil fumigation to control pests and maintain high yields . the methyl bromide alternative , 1 , 3 - d , can be used only in certain quantities , due to air quality concerns .
at one hour , twenty - eight minutes and fifty - eight seconds , keeping rosy isn’t a particularly long film , however , its meandering middle section makes it seem much longer ; i myself found that i was checking facebook and reading the news whilst watching it , far more often than i would have liked . this is a shame because if it wasn’t for such a lacklustre narrative , some truly bad writing and terrible cinematography , keeping rosy ( 2014 ) had the potential to be a fine film . all the pieces are there , but the film never takes advantage of them .
at the height of their fame , the monkees teamed up with jack nicholson to film the psychedelic classic head – and destroy their careers in the process . so how do they feel about it now

ultimately , what’s stopping keeping rosy from being subjectively ‘good’ is the chronic genre uncertainty which obviously plagued its script . through most of the film , keeping rosy is a kind of modern day hitchcock movie with an incredibly bleak london atmosphere ; at times it becomes a black comedy and at others it’s a charming piece about a forty - something woman finally having a baby . yet , throughout all these genre - shifts , it still retains its bleak , london atmosphere . it’s not all bad , though . i think the use of sound in this film should be held up as an example in film schools , and the understated acting style used by peake and the rest of the cast is sublime , but such glimmers of excellence cannot save a film like this , any more than a silk shirt could function as a parachute .

the movie , billed as a twisted tale of sibling rivalry , sexual awakening and mind games one hot english summer , is due to unspool during this year’s upcoming bfi london film festival which starts wednesday , oct . 12 .
keeping rosy’s saving grace is its actors and actresses , who , with the exception of blake harrison in the form of blackmailing security guard roger , perform their roles very well . i was particularly captured by jen , a new mother who came into work to show off her new baby and the wife of charlotte’s boyfriend , tom . in a film mostly consisting of actors playing small roles , hart managed to give her character real depth and emotional complexity , managing to introduce themes in a very short amount of time . this , combined with the relationship that she has with charlotte and tom , and the relationship that they have with each other , gave the film a blissful feeling of outside context : that this is only a small part of a much wider world , which this film desperately needed . it’s the simple things that can really elevate a film , especially an independent one like keeping rosy with its relatively limited budget .
from there , the film meanders through a long middle section which sees charlotte bonding with the baby and naming her rosy , breaking up with her long - time partner who is also the husband of jen ( tori hart ) , one of charlotte’s former work colleagues , inviting her younger sister and niece to visit her , meeting with her relatives and realising that cctv evidence exists of her disposing of mykala’s body . then , the film ends . not with a bang , but a quiet kiss against charlotte’s flat’s railing .
arriving with a bang on 12 september , 1966 , the monkees television show was the acceptable face of the counterculture , mixing cheerful anti - establishment spirit and witty , innovative direction with the old - fashioned knockabout humour of the three stooges and the marx brothers and some brilliant songs – the neil diamond - penned i ' m a believer kept both good vibrations and strawberry fields forever off the top of the us charts .

comparing tif with standard film , and methyl bromide plus chloropicrin with varying amounts of 1 , 3 - d plus chloropicrin , the scientists rated the effectiveness of tif . the results , writes fennimore , suggest that to achieve fruit yield and weed control similar to methyl bromide and chloropicrin , 33 percent less 1 , 3 - d plus chloropicrin is needed under tif than standard films .
blake harrison ( who i must confess i did not enjoy in this film ) needn’t worry about my opinion of him , though . i feel that the problem with his psychopathic , drug - taking , blackmailing security guard lies in the script and not with me . his character became villainous so quickly that i was left wondering , at times , if mr harrison’s script called for him to twirl his moustache menacingly .
jittery gillian ( anna madeley ) cycles through the kent countryside and stumbles across rymans farm , where they happen to be recruiting strawberry pickers . offered work and put up in a caravan on the farm along with a bunch of other itinerant pickers , she begins a tentative relationship with hunky scottish picker kev ( emun elliott ) , but things are soon ruined for her with the arrival of her high - maintenance sister emily ( christine bottomley ) , sporting a long red - dress and a ‘look at me’ attitude .

this movie is startling . . . by denoting the typical asian american stereotypes , and showing the emotion and history of asian history . it ' s important to watch this film in order to see what it ' s like to try to identify with a culture . and the role the past has with dealing with the present and the future . this was a great movie , incendary at best . watch and you ' ll understand . the director also did a fine job at showing the turmoil within the angst filled teen and her mother and its manifestation .
the whole scene is only a few minutes long , yet it is unbelievably effective at creating tension – i found myself jumping out of my seat . another time when the film shows promise is near the start , just after charlotte has been fired from her job . the camera angle is focussed on her face , resting against the train’s window . in the background , we can hear the other train passengers arguing . the argument escalates until , suddenly , furious about having been fired , charlotte strikes the window . in that one moment , the woman so detached from the world becomes a punctuation mark on everything happening around her . it’s perfect .
i was very impressed with the film’s music and the way that it utilised diegetic and non - diegetic sounds to intensify suspense and keep the viewer’s attention on the screen , whilst managing to use it as a storytelling device . one instance of this is near the beginning . after charlotte has murdered mykala and disposed of her body , and just after charlotte has realized that mykala’s car is still in the garage downstairs , she goes downstairs to get rid of the car . the garage is quiet . charlotte gets into the car and turns the key . the car’s stereo plays row row row your boat . behind her , charlotte hears crying . it dawns on her . we realise it too . she turns around and sees a crying infant in the back seat : mykala’s daughter – the titular rosy !
the first time they saw the final cut , the band weren ' t sure what they ' d just made .
it was probably more confusing to me than it was to the average moviegoer ,
tork says .
it was misunderstood by a lot of people ,
dolenz says . in retrospect , the marketing seems suicidal . posters featured the balding head of the media theorist john brockman and the slogan :
what is head all about ? only john brockman ' s shrink knows for sure !
the so - called monkees movie made no mention of the monkees .
most of our fans couldn ' t get in because there was an age restriction and the intelligentsia wouldn ' t go to see it anyway because they hated the monkees ,
dolenz says . jones thinks rafelson and nicholson were just
practising their film techniques . they were throwing us to the ' gators at that point .

according to lea , the story is inspired by a streetcar named desire ( a bold statement indeed ) , but while it never quite reaches tennessee williams literary heights ( or legendary performances ) it does offer moments to intrigue despite never really convincing as a whole .
gillian has been trying to escape her sister’s manipulative behaviour , and her arrival both forces into an even more intense relationship with kev and also responding angrily to any aside or comment by emily . as emily intensifies her attempts to control her sister the scene is set for sex and violence as kev responds to emily’s machinations .
christine bottomley is impressive as the bonkers but attractive emily ( the blanche dubois role here ) , with a nice line in flowing summery dresses and a sustained edginess , though anna madeley has a harder role as the annoyingly childlike gillian . it is the less showy role , but madeley never manages to make her sympathetic or appealing .

grief and a messy shared history hang in the air like a river mist that won ' t clear , and the two lead stars make it worthwhile .
the movie isn ' t perfect and arguably doesn ' t quite come together at the end , but it works as an intense and bizarre psychological drama , and the kent landscape is gorgeously evoked .
beautifully shot and mostly well executed . lea and her cast are worth looking out for .
aside from the first - rate cinematography and editing , it ' s is so disappointingly arch that we struggle to believe anything , even as it touches on important themes .
its simplicity is both effective and deceptive - a testament to the script ' s intelligence and to the actors ' beguiling ( if slightly histrionic ) performances .

punters can also head on down to the festival from thursday for the first time ever , spending a day splashing in the murray river before festival proceedings kick off .
the festival will take place from 17 nov to 20 nov this year . check out the 2015 aftermovie below .
wonderfully understated acting and a wonderful soundscape made disappointing by terrible writing , lackluster cinematography and unpredictable genre and tonal shifts .
when charlotte ' s life disintegrates , we follow her on a heart - racing journey of self - discovery , atonement and danger .
high - class , subdued acting from every member of the cast , as well as a wonderful soundscape worthy of academic study .
keeping rosy is the story of a woman named charlotte ( maxine peake ) , who , after getting fired from her job at a leading media company in london , murders her eastern european maid , mykala ( elisa lasowski ) , following an argument about smoking in her apartment and her belief that mykala had stolen a bottle of champagne . things are only complicated when , in the process of disposing of her former maid’s body and her possessions , charlotte discovers mykala’s baby in the back seat of her car .
but if keeping rosy’s use of sound is perfect , then its cinematography is god - awful with a capital awful . too many lingering shots , too many close - ups from positions that make me wish i could pick up the camera and move it . extreme close - ups are used to convey intimacy and show the importance of things , but they’re unnecessary in cases such as this , where the characters are the only thing of interest on screen . in the director’s defence , the cinematography does manage to convey the overbearing sense of loneliness in london very well , and there are a few shots that i did like , but such instances are rare .

avy jones doesn ' t really want to talk about head . the former monkees heartthrob is happy to talk about his old home in manchester , his new home in florida , his racehorses , his theatre career – anything , basically , except the cryptic , psychedelic art movie that , in 1968 , marked the end of the monkees ' short tenure as the biggest rock band in america .
we were pawns in something we helped create but had no control over ,
he says crossly .
we should have made ghostbusters , ok ?
head could never be mistaken for ghostbusters . it ' s a fourth - wall - shattering , stream - of - consciousness black comedy that mocks war , america , hollywood , television , the music business and the monkees themselves . these days , it is fondly remembered as one of the weirdest and best rock movies ever made , and a harbinger of the so - called new hollywood . quentin tarantino and edgar wright are both fans . dj shadow and saint etienne have sampled its dialogue . according to director bob rafelson , the beatles and the rolling stones both requested private screenings , while thomas pynchon attended a screening disguised as a plumber . but to the fans who had made the monkees household names , it might as well never have existed .
the movie dropped like a ball of dark star ,
says bassist peter tork .
the simile of a rock in the water is too mild for how badly that movie did .
jones , tork and drummer micky dolenz are about to embark on a reunion tour but , even after 43 years , the subject of head still stirs complicated emotions . jones is more peevish than his cute television persona , and tork more thoughtful than the clueless dope he portrayed . only dolenz is instantly recognisable as the up - and - at - ' em showbiz pro . ( guitarist mike nesmith , who is prickly and distracted in head , is sitting out this reunion . ) their memories of head are as different as their personalities .
i can only give you my personal view on this ,
dolenz insists .
you ' ll get very different answers from them . it ' s like rashomon .
rafelson , a charismatic director hungry for his big break , dreamt up a tv show about a rock band , inspired by the beatles and especially richard lester ' s a hard day ' s night . his business partner in the production company raybert , bert schneider , was the son of the head of columbia pictures , whose tv division agreed a deal for the show in 1965 . putting out a call for
four insane boys ,
they auditioned such future stars as harry nilsson , stephen stills and van dyke parks before settling on two former child actors ( jones and dolenz ) and two unknown folksingers ( nesmith and tork ) .
hurt by ( accurate ) claims that they didn ' t play on their own records , the band practised hard and went out on tour . led by nesmith , who told dolenz the process was like pinocchio becoming a real little boy , they seized creative control with their third album , headquarters , and became bona fide rock stars . they hung out with the beatles and toured with jimi hendrix as support . during one visit to tork ' s laurel canyon mansion , singer jackson browne later recalled :
jimi hendrix was up there jamming with buddy miles in the pool house , and peter ' s girlfriend was playing the drums , naked .
when we made headquarters , i thought i ' d died and gone to heaven ,
says tork .
my whole goal had been to be a member of a band that worked . the next thing i know we ' re making a movie and it doesn ' t have anything to do with the business of being in a band together .
the movie was conceived at the height of their success , but fame , dolenz once said ,
was slowly burning a hole through the centre of our brains
. there is still dispute over the point of a monkees movie .
there ' s some weight behind the idea that bob and bert wanted to wreck the monkees , to stop it cold in its tracks ,
says tork .
i ' ve never known for sure . bert and bob might have thought out loud : ' let ' s kill the monkees ! ' or they may have not thought so out loud but at some unconscious level , they were sick of the monkees and wanted to do something else .
rafelson is 78 , retired and sick of interviews , but he agreed to answer a few questions via his daughter , gabrielle .
bob was urged by his partners and friends not to make a movie with the monkees ,
gabrielle says .
they felt he had done his work with them , and their audience was already defecting . but bob felt he wanted to complete the cycle . he felt the truth of the monkees story had not been told – their manipulation , protest and substantial talents . he felt the true story , in abstract [ form ] , would be more than worth the telling .
rafelson introduced the band to his friend , a struggling b - movie actor and screenwriter named jack nicholson .
jack was fabulous ,
tork says .
we adored him , all of us . michael practically fell in love with him , in a manly sort of way .
dolenz agrees :
he was such a wonderful , charismatic , funny guy . jack spent a lot of time with us . he hung out on the [ tv ] set and came out on tour , just picking up the vibe .
one weekend in late 1967 , they all decamped to a hotel suite in california ' s ojai valley for a brainstorming session . amid clouds of pot smoke , they talked all weekend with the tape recorder running . nicholson then took the tapes and turned the conversations into a screenplay ; according to rafelson , he structured it while on lsd .
originally called changes , the movie was retitled head , partly as a drug reference and partly so that raybert ' s next production , easy rider , could be marketed with the slogan
from the guys who gave you head
– a plan torpedoed by head ' s box - office nosedive . dolenz remembers raybert working on easy rider simultaneously ; nicholson , dennis hopper and pete fonda all make cameo appearances in head , as do frank zappa and the former world heavyweight champion sonny liston .
the movie was using the monkees to deconstruct the studio system ,
dolenz reckons .
there ' s a scene with me and teri garr in the old west and i get hit by arrows and i say , ' bob , i can ' t do this fake shit any more . ' well , that was a metaphor for people being fed up with the studio system .
by that stage , the monkees were doing a good job of deconstructing themselves . the domineering nesmith hired hard - nosed agent jerry perenchio and staged a walk - out over pay on the first day of the three - month shoot . while tork , thinking it another nesmith powerplay , ducked out , the others were wooed back with a token $ 1 , 000 each and production resumed under a cloud .
it was a joy seeing a movie being made , but i didn ' t like working for bob rafelson ,
tork says .
i did what he told me , but i can ' t say that i ever had any heart connection with him .
his favourite scene , in which he recounts what he has learned from an indian mystic , was actually directed by nicholson .
but rafelson honestly believed it would work .
bob was disappointed because he had hoped that the movie transcended the group ' s name ,
gabrielle says . he soon realised his error . at a greenwich village screening , hipsters lured in by the enigmatic posters walked out the minute the monkees appeared . the reviews were savage . of its $ 790 , 000 budget , it recouped just $ 16 , 111 .
rafelson and nicholson soon hit pay dirt with easy rider and went on to make five easy pieces and other archetypal 70s films , but the band they left behind floundered . with the show over , album sales were in freefall , even though the head soundtrack contained inspired contributions from tork ( can you dig it ? ) , nesmith ( circle sky ) and carole king ( porpoise song ) . a disillusioned tork was the first to quit .
i didn ' t have a band . i wanted this kind of connection and i didn ' t get it , so i felt it was up to me to leave .
nesmith followed in 1970 .
tork has seen head around 80 times but it took him years to work out why it bothered him so much . in the movie , the monkees are hoodwinked , bamboozled , chased , assaulted , mocked , trapped in a black box and reduced to dandruff in the hair of the actor victor mature , before ending up back where they started . in the words of the sardonic nicholson - penned theme tune ,
so make your choice and we ' ll rejoice / in never being free !
most people are dazzled by the psychedelia , and that ' s fine , but for me finally the point of the movie is the monkees never get out ,
tork says sadly .
which is to say bob rafelson ' s view of life is you never get out of the black box you ' re in . there ' s no escape .
there might have been a scene where we get out ,

producing 85 percent of the nation’s strawberries , california growers urgently need alternatives to methyl bromide fumigation if they are to maintain yields . methyl bromide has been phased out for all but critical uses because it depletes ozone in the upper atmosphere .
impermeable films have three benefits , according to lead author steven fennimore , uc cooperative extension specialist and weed scientist in uc davis department of plant sciences . the films trap the fumigant in the soil for a longer time and thereby increase its effectiveness ; they reduce fumigant emissions , which after reacting with nitrogen oxides , can convert to ground - level ozone ; and they reduce the amount of fumigant needed for effective pest control .
tif may ease some of the burdens of fumigant regulations on end - users , as well as ease concerns of the general public about exposure to fumigants , he concludes .

ishqedarriyaan
, directed by v . k . prakash , is presented by chariot films and metro studios llc ( georgia ) .
the trouble with ishqedarriyaan is that it isn ' t even bad enough to be good . it ' s just plain old dull .
ishqedarriyaan review : mahakshay returns in a badly - written romance , which makes you wonder why anyone would want to repeat the same mistakes .
a sort of a re - launch for our jimmy boy , ishqedarriyaan is quick to establish who the leading man of the film is .
event : bollywood stars r . madhavan and kangana ranaut promoted their upcoming film ishqedarriyaan which is set to release on may 29 , 2015 .
mahaakshay is very confident about “ishqedarriyaan” and recently bollywoodirect got a chance to talk to him where in depth he talked about the film and his character .
after acting in multi - starrers , evelyn sharma is excited to be seen in her first solo lead . ishqedarriyaan , which is to release on april 24 .
film : ishqedarriyaan cast : mahaakshay charkaborty , evelyn sharma , mohit dutta , kavin dave , suhasini mullay director : vk prakash rating : 2 / 5 with all the tropes of the romance genre weaved into it , ishqedarriyaan is a typical contrived , mushy and predictable tale of a prince charming and a damsel in distress .
ishqedarriyaan is a hindi romance - drama film directed by v . k . prakash and produced by rajesh banga starring mahaakshay chakraborty , evelyn sharma and mohit dutta .

with all the tropes of the romance genre weaved into it , ishqedarriyaan is a typical contrived , mushy and predictable tale of a prince charming and a damsel in distress .
ishqedarriyaan is a very simple love story . it is a story which will touch your hearts and make you fall in love with love ! it has excellent music and a beautiful storyline . i hope the same way we loved working on the film , that all the people out there give us their love and go watch and enjoy ishqedarriyaan as well .
the beautiful actress evelyn sharma is seen doing similar kind of roles in movies like ‘yaariyan’ , ‘ye jawaani hai deewani’ and upcoming movie ‘ishqedarriyaan’ . evelyn says , “i am being offered foreigner ' s role but each role is different from other .
she says she has high hopes with ‘ishqedarriyaan’ in which she is working with mithun chakraborty ' s son mahaakshay .
if there was a little urgency in getting into the heart of the matter , ishqedarriyaan could have been different . director v v sharma goes round and round and thus loses the plot .
moreover , i have always played a glamorous girl in all these films , ” explains the actor adding that the promotions for ishqedarriyaan , produced by rajesh banga of hawaizaada fame begin on february 20 .
overall , ishqedarriyaan is a romantic tale that is sweet and simple . though the banality of the script is a major let down , the film does have its mushy and heart - warming moments .
actor mahaakshay chakraborty and evelyn sharma ' s romantic drama ' ishqedarriyaan ' , which was to release on may 15 , will now hit the screens on may 29 , producer rajesh banga has announced .
for a romance film , the music is a bit low - key with melancholic lyrics like , das de rabba , das de and the title song , ishqedarriyaan and ashoo tujhse juda . . .
ishqedarriyaan ' s first and biggest flaw lies in its script . it creates more characters than it can handle , thus creating more subplots than it can tie up in the end . it leaves you with more questions than answers .

ishqedarriyaan is a story about love , sacrifice , family values and relationships . rishteydarriyaan means relationships and ishqedarriyaan signifies the relationship when you fall in love ! the movie stars mahaakshay chakraborty , evelyn sharma and mohit dutta . evelyn sharma is the lead actress , who will play the character of luvleen , a teacher by profession who wants to collect donations for her grandfather ' s school . mahaakshay chakraborty plays aagam diwan , a millionaire who loves his profession more than anything else . mohit dutta will play arjun , a passionate singer .
yes , ‘ishqedarriyaan’ is an all and out love story . this is the 1st time in my career that i am doing a pure romantic film and i must say it has been a lovely experience . ishqedarriyaan is a story of love and what happens to people when they fall in love . in today’s whatsapp generation we may send our ‘feelings’ through emoticons but true love , the love which makes us better human beings is still the strongest force in the world and in our film , we have focused on showing its simplicity .
evelyn sharma is known for her hot avatar on - screen . but with her upcoming movie ishqedarriyaan , she has completely transformed herself into a typical indian girl , even at the movie promotions . take a look at 5 of this hot actress ' dresses as she promoted the film…
not only does ishqedarriyaan feature a non expressive hero and an overly expressive heroine , it takes the cake when it brings in the token sardar kid because the sardar kid in this film isn ' t just any sardar kid , he ' s the most annoying little ball of lard you ' ve ever seen .
plot : ishqedarriyaan is a story of love , sacrifice , family values and relationships . it tells the story of luvleen , who is a teacher by profession and who wants to collect donations for her grandfather’s school . this journey introduces to aagam diwan , a millionaire and arjun , a passionate singer . soon , they are drawn into a love triangle . what will be the outcome of this story ?
mahaakshay mimoh chakraborty , son of legendary actor mithun chakraborty , made his debut with the 2008 film jimmy , which was directed by raj sippy . he was nominated for filmfare award in best actor male debut category for playing a role of a dj , who is falsely implicated in murder charges . he had a box - office blockbuster with vikram bhatt ’s haunted - 3d where both the film and mahaakshay’s performance were appreciated . since then he has appeared in loot , enemmy and currently working on “ishqedarriyaan”
love stories or any story for that reason works when there is something in it that’s relatable…memorable characters or precious moments . a ‘sacrificing attitude’ was prime requisite once upon a time in all kinds of social / romantic dramas but that’s the thing of the past . this film revolves around it and turns out to be inconsequential in return . despite decent production values , ishqedarriyaan fails to click as it is way too clichéd . conventional is fine as long as it leaves some impact on you as an audience , which doesn’t happen here .
a loose script , below par acting and cliched romantic scenes , ishqedarriyaan is a love saga that will bore you for two long hours ! the film despite starting on a good note , loses grip after the first fifteen minutes . majorly shot at the picturesque locations of himachal pradesh , the film paints a beautiful canvas with its brilliant cinematography , only to be let down by the story . the characters are not well - defined and lacks finesse . plus , an overdose of emotional drama in significant parts of the film will leave you irked ! however , the edgy dialogues and captivating soundtrack is the only saving grace .

the desire to be a traditional bollywood hero continues to be the bane of all new - comers , even those who are star - sons , and not really new comers . mithun’s son mimoh debuted in 2008 with ‘jimmy’ . the film was a non - starter . his later attempts haven’t fared any better , despite the change of name .
mahaakshay returns in a badly - written romance , which makes you wonder why anyone would want to repeat the same mistakes : ‘ishqedarriyan’ features the age - old triangle of rich boy - poor girl - and third party , in a leaden plot that never takes off .
agam dewan is a us - based young magnate , whose best friend ( dave ) is the best part of the film . luvleen ( evelyn sharma ) lives in hilly town in india with her grandma ( suhasini mulay ) , trying to raise funds for her little school . and arjun ( mohit dutta ) is a musician she loses her heart to . our hero steps back so that his beloved gets what her heart desires , giving rise to all kinds of painfully preposterous sequences .
we know who’s going to win fair maiden in the end , but we have to wade through two hours and more of sheer tiresomeness to get there . who is this film made for ?

evelyn sharma ditches social media , builds homes for the underprivileged in karjat . see pics
sharma will be seen donning a new look and will deglam for the first time . she plays an indian girl from himachal pradesh and will be sporting only salwar kameezes .
“ mahakshay plays my hero . the musical love story has been shot in the beautiful locales of himachal pradesh , georgia and the united states .
i am seen in a different avatar my character is very bubbly . it is the jab we met kind of romance drama , ” says the actor who feels that there is no pressure while acting in a multistarrer to make a movie work .
“with films like issaq , main tera hero , yaariyan , yeh jawani hai deewani and now kuch kuch locha hai , which releases on may 8 , it is all about how the ensemble cast and how the movie works for everyone , but with a solo lead , there is a lot more pressure to perform .
speaking of the story , the plot delves into the life of globally - acclaimed businessman , agam divan ( mahaakshay chakraborty ) . he returns to india when he learns about his father’s dark past , only to befriend a beautiful young teacher , luvleen ( evelyn sharma ) . he falls in love with her , but she is already in love with someone else . what follows later is a journey of love , drama and sacrifice .
the film significantly focuses on mahaakshay chakraborty , who makes a comeback after two years . with his character undergoing various spectrum of emotion , the upcoming actor puts forth a commendable performance . his co - star , evelyn sharma looks gorgeous . known for her glamorous avatars , she nails the plain jane look perfectly . however , bad dubbing and her over - dramatic expressions will make you cringe in annoyance . and lastly , debutante mohit dutta who plays the third wheel is quite a catch . the good looking man does make his presence felt .

rich boy falls in love with poor girl but she loves someone else . what does he do ?
: luvleen ( evelyn sharma ) is a teacher , who wants to raise funds for her school . aagam diwan ( mahaakshay chakraborty ) is a millionaire and arjun ( mohit dutta ) , a musician . aagam falls in love with luvleen but she fancies arjun .
evelyn sharma for a change is not seen in skimpy outfits but her acting stays consistently poor , mahaakshay is convincing but the film is way too tedious for you to sit through it . music and locations are probably the best part about this film . unfortunately , everything else is mediocre .

, is a love triangle so cheesy that you should order a plate of nachos with it .
the film , strangely sparksian in its approach to love and sacrifice , is bound to appeal to a demographic that is more emotional than rational .
a simple tale of boy meets girl , girl meets another boy , boy falls in love with girl , girl falls in love with another boy and boy tries to make another boy fall in love with girl .
don ' t be . you ' ll be too bored by mahaakshay chakraborty aka jimmy ' s dazed , doped expression and evelyn sharma aka lara aunty ' s deep sighs to bother with the story .
agam diwan ( jimmy ) - heir and billionaire - saunters onto the screen , shows some desi business swag and proves to you what a bro he is by supporting the underdog .
meanwhile , kaya , an american reporter of desi origin , is desperate to meet agam in order to write a feature story on him .
that ' s when we find out that agam diwan is so rich that no one ' s allowed to publish his pictures in the media or he ' ll sue them .
also , agam diwan doesn ' t believe in charity because if you teach a man to fish and all that jazz .
when he refuses to give her a proper interview , kaya digs up dirt on him and threatens to publish it . as it turns out , diwan senior ' s empire was founded on the basis of money that was obtained through fraud .
agam makes himes bhai level sad eyes . he decides to investigate his father ' s supposed misdeeds and to compensate the family that was defrauded .
here , luvleen ( evelyn sharma / * cue music * lara aunty ) , daughter of said victim of fraud , runs a school for underprivileged children , the female half of whom run around in zara or forever 21 black pencil skirts , thin white shirts and lipstick .
in order to keep her school running , luvleen is continually wandering from mansion gate to mansion gate to collect donations .
it is in this process that she bumps into arjun ( mohit dutta ) who mistakes her for the girl he ' s supposed to be meeting , for the purpose of entering into an arranged marriage with her , and falls for her .
luvleen falls for him right back . however , when agam meets luvleen , he falls for her as well .
i think it was somewhere around this point that everything became perfectly predictable , which caused me to lose my ability to really care any more .
agam goes out of his way to make sure that the love of his life is happy and with the man she loves , even if it comes at the cost of his own happiness .
the child would have been funny if he was naïve . but the innocence is lost the moment he is made to mouth adult dialogues and court his female classmates .
the soundtrack is only bearable , recycled heartbroken lyrics with a heavier bass than your usual arijit singh or mohit suri song .
even water and oil have more chemistry than jimmy and lara aunty . there is so much awkwardness between the two of them and the way they talk would make borderline asocial nerds look like communications experts .
agam might be a billionaire but i ' m willing to donate him a dialogue writer if they promise to make it stop .
lost in a world of its own , the film forgets to engage the viewer . the makers of the film might need to offer free tea at the screenings to give the audience an incentive to stay awake .

the prince here is the young , 20 - something , soft - hearted , multi - billionaire agam diwan , who is in love with his passion and career . settled in georgia in the us , he is an enigma that the media houses want to unravel .
an investigative journalist , who believes that
behind every fortune , there is a crime
, he delves into his family history and surfaces with their dodgy past .
this lead brings agam diwan to india . he lands in himachal pradesh , where he meets loveleen , the daughter of the man , his father is supposed to have cheated . she is in desperate need of funds and teachers to run the abhinandan vidya mandir , a school founded by her grandfather .
during their first meeting , instead of initially hearing him out , she mistakes him for a teacher and appoints him . he willingly obliges . tables turn . he now works for her and they share an employer - employee relationship . soon , they become friends .
he is her messiah in disguise . he ensures that every wish of hers is fulfilled by playing ' god ' in her life . he falls in love with her and realises that she is besotted with arjun , a promising musician . agam does the sacrificing act till loveleen realises her folly .
the actors deliver their parts sincerely . mahaakshay , who has a fairly appealing screen presence with a slightly weak voice , charms you as the restrained loverboy agam . while he is suave and razor - sharp as a businessman , he displays equal simplicity and naivete as the teacher in india .
kavin dave as agam ' s best friend and man friday is stereotypical . evelyn sharma as loveleen passes off as a punjabi girl and is fairly good at emoting . actor - singer mohit dutta , who has a limited screen time , is impressionable and essays the role of arjun in style .
while all the characters are realistically portrayed and the performances by the cast are relatable , it is the predictable story and lazily crafted screenplay by p . k . anil that make this film a mediocre fare . it is irritating to see the oversmart character ladoo , come up with frivolous cliched filmi dialogues . it is the only sore point of the film .
overall , this is an ideal film for die - hard romantics who believe that good things happen to good people . read other film reviews here

q ; from “jimmy” to “enemmy” , you have worked in few movies till now and have developed yourself in a much - matured way . how do you see yourself in this process ?
i believe every actor grows through time . and i believe the struggles and the perseverance are what truly define a human being . so i thank my struggle and hardships today ’cause without them i wouldn’t be the man i am today .
my character’s name is agam diwan and he is a self - made millionaire . he has come up the hard way and believes that everyone should work hard for what they want . even though he is one of the richest people in the world , he is very soft spoken and humble and mostly keeps to himself . circumstances make him meet luvleen { evelyn sharma } and after meeting her , how his life completely changes is what agam diwan is all about .
and i always go into full detail when it comes to my character . whether it is about the looks , the clothes , the hair , the background of the character or his characteristics . i believe ‘living’ the character is very important throughout the process of the film .
vk prakash sir is a master director ! he is truly an actor’s director and i am so happy , lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him . he makes you grind and grind until he takes the best out of you and during the shoot of the film , i leaped ahead in my performance all thanks to sir . we had impromptu workshops on the sets and instantaneously we had character building exercises also . when you see the film and complement our performances , it will be only because of our brilliant director .
my dad has always been my superhero . whatever i am today is because of him . he inspires me every day and encourages me to be good and to do well . i am the man today all because of him . and besides dad , i truly worship sunny deol , salman khan and the greek god himself hrithik roshan .
i am a die - hard fan of superheroes so it is my dream role to play the punisher one day .

agam diwan ( mahaakshay chakraborty ) is young businessman living in the us of a . he is the richest indian in this part of the world . his business has grown on the foundation of ethics and truth . his father had come to the us twenty years ago , and had worked his way up to where the diwan empire now stands . honesty and integrity is what he learnt from his father and that is how his business has grown to where it is now .
obviously , with an empire this huge , journalists are going to dig deep for some dirt . they always want to go to the root of any successful person and take pride in portraying the fact that this is where he or she came from . so when a journalist from a lifestyle magazine learns that agam ' s father actually borrowed rs 20 lakhs from his friend in punjab and came to the us and never returned their money and that family is now in dire straits , he is disturbed . he doubts his father ' s integrity and vows to give half of his fortune to that family .
he comes to india to do just that but when he enters the school which is run by the lovely luvleen ( evelyn sharma ) , who is the daughter of his father ' s friend , he gets tongue tied after she mistakes him for coming in for a teacher ' s job . so instead of getting to the truth , he ends up teaching for a salary of rs 7 , 000 .
so far , so good . the movie has a feel - good premise , but the second half stretches itself endlessly and gets on to be a big bore with the basic question of his father ' s alleged cheating being unattended to .
agam gets busy teaching and helping luvleen marry the boy she loves . he goes to the extent of giving the boy ' s father 250 million dollars just for him to agree to get his son to marry her .
first and foremost , agam has not bothered to find out the truth and how his father cheated her father . all the time , he spends secretly admiring her . and then blindly he gives away such a huge amount to the man . brother , if that is what you owe her , give it to her !
both mahaakshay chakraborty and evelyn sharma are pleasing and present their respective characters with dignity . but sadly , dignity is not what the script receives . in its overenthusiastic attempt to go ballistic , the proceeding loses its credibility . and that is really sad .
