“a common man” could not have been released at a more apt time than march 2013 , when the debates on how to deal with terrorism and terrorists have begun afresh after boston , london and paris attacks . it’s subtle message is that orthodox methods used in criminal justice are cumbersome , delaying and ineffective in preventing terrorism . in the film the majority of the contenders have favored an unorthodox method , as the only alternative . so the dig becomes the only one to prefer the orthodox approach to dealing with terrorists . most importantly , “ a common man” gives a more universal story that fits all situations while “ a wednesday” , by all accounts an excellent film , was confined to bombay and had a less of an universal appeal .

the findings might help to explain why common story - telling threads can be found thought out literature , theater and cinema .
“ a common man” has a different message in that the deputy inspector general of police ( dig ) played by ben cross asks “am i the only who wants to follow the rules” in lamenting the unorthodox way terrorism was dealt with . this is a strong and fine point that is brought out in ‘ a common man’ . a common man ( ben kingsley ) , has planted four bombs at different locations in the city and phones the dig to release four of the terrorist suspects being held in jail or else he will explode those bombs . if they were released to him , he would reveal where the bombs were , so that the bombs could be disarmed . it is a real and imminent threat and the police are given few hours to release the terrorists . the identity of the common man is not known to the authorities by virtue of him being just an ordinary citizen , with no criminal record or any history of involvement with the police . it is a bolt from the blue to the dig who has to respond to this threat or risk losing many lives .
in a common man , which is set in colombo , sri lanka , a mysterious man ( ben kingsley ) has planted 5 bombs in the politically - scarred city that are set to explode unless four major terrorists are immediately released from prison . when he calls in his demands to the deputy inspector general of the colombo police department ( ben cross ) , a confrontation ensues that sets off this exciting , non - stop action film that pits truth versus duty in a thrilling duel to the end .
researchers also say that the most popular arcs are those that involved two sequential man - in - hole arcs and a cinderella arc followed by a tragedy .
and it seems sir ben kingsley ' s wife has taken his film role a little too seriously .
for example , ' man falls into hole , man gets out of hole ' or one of the most well - know , ' boy meets girl , boy loses girl , boy gets girl ' .
the descent : a common man was filmed in sri lanka with a local cast , and it becomes clear very quickly that it was never destined to make a splash—it’s amateur hour all the way , just a couple of steps above the room . though filmed in 2011 , it lingered until going straight to dvd in early 2013 . it did take home a bronze medal from the new york festivals international television & film awards , which sounds impressive until you realize a ) nobody’s ever heard of those awards , and b ) they gave out 119 gold , 145 silver , and 104 bronze medals that night . apparently it’s like the grade - school science fair—you get a ribbon just for showing up , and a common man still managed to come in last .

laxman was a legend in his time , i wonder if there can be another legendary cartoonist , but taking the contest forward is his best known creation – the common man . the elderly bulbous - nosed , bespectacled character dressed in a dhoti and plaid jacket makes his usual silent appearance in all the cartoonist hunt ads . as if dispatched by laxman himself to make sure his successor knows what he ' s got to live up to . laxman has gone but his common man survived . he once told me with dry paternal pride ,
this fellow has taken a life of his own .
and certainly the film would be bettered by the terminal speech of the common man , after he , in the role of the headsman , has performed his grisly task ( for which more , incidentally , has absolved him , thus symbolizing his acceptance of the fallibility of men ) . the lights have gone down , then they & apos ; ve come up , and the little man is standing there , exhausted and relieved that it is over .

ben kingsley is one of those actors that is always amazing but takes on such a wide variety of strange roles that sometimes he gets thrown into something that he just can ' t save . at the same time he has delivered so many brilliant performances that those few missteps can be ignored . fresh of the triumph of his awesome performance in iron man 3 comes his latest film a common man alongside ben cross . will this be another great performance to add to his impressive resume or be lost in struggling film ? a common man follows a terrorist who plants several bombs around the city of colombo , sri lanka and threatens to detonate them unless prisoners are released . this is one of those movies that initially looks fairly low budget and could have easily fallen into obscurity if not for the star power of ben kingsley . the film opens leaving little mystery to what is happening and what kingsley ' s character is up to or so you think . thanks to some clever writing and another great performance by kingsley this film takes an interesting and unexpected turn to create a film that is much better than it would have been . on the flip side most of those around the rest of the film deliver ok performances with ben cross seemingly just walking through his performance and offering nothing all that much the character or the film . this film plays as more of a thriller as opposed to an action film and leads you down a path that has been touched on numerous times , but quickly makes a u - turn into a completely different direction . this is an intriguing film that manages to create a story that is sure to keep you invested until the very end . as mentioned before while most of the performances do nothing to really suck you in , its kingsley ' s performance that carries this movie . this isn ' t a perfect movie by any means , but does offer some interesting twists and turns that make this film worth checking out .
the common man is supposedly very intelligent , yet he makes two obvious mistakes : first , he stashes his bombs in places where they could easily be found : on a train ' s luggage rack , under a bus seat , and in a public trash can . second , his headquarters on the open roof of a tall building could easily be seen by hundreds of people in the adjacent buildings .

likelihood it will rise from obscurity : because it’s so bad , a common man could find an audience that loves to laugh at it . there are plenty of meme - ready moments . every time a deadline is mentioned , there’s a dramatic shot of a wall clock ticking , with a quick zoom , and there are plenty of memorably silly characters . here’s one more clip , featuring a super - cool hacker who’s brought in to help the police . he’s got style .
no , the makers don ' t try to give any identity of common man . regarding calling her daughter (

thus the film has an important context for today in the world over , with the recent killing of a british soldier and an attack on a french soldier hardly a week had passed and within a month of the boston marathon attack by two terrorists . sri lanka’s own experience with terror that lasted for nearly thirty years also provides some context to the ‘a common man’ , but it is not connected to the war against the ltte , while some of the scenes such as the bombing of the central bank building is a grim reminder of this country’s own experience with terror .

akshay and i sneaked into breach candy hospital one sunday morning during non - visiting hours . laxman didn ' t recognise him . kamala apologetically made the introductions . she told her husband propped up in bed ,
he is a very well - known film star who is acting as your common man .
she asked akshay ,
you don ' t mind me putting it that way ?
akshay shyly replied ,
you can put it any way . . . but yes , i am playing a character based on his common man in my film khatta meetha .
kamala shook her head .
you ,
she said incredulously ,
it is unbelievable and different from all that you convey .
laxman watched , his eyes curious and alert and never leaving akshay , a scowl on the face . he was clearly not a bollywood man .
he can only follow colloquial hindi ,
explained kamala ,
that ' s the language his common man speaks .
meanwhile , the hospital room was filling up with other patients and excited visitors , bedazzled nurses , noisy ward boys and indignant doctors . akshay sat holding laxman ' s hand , talking to him with his eyes , oblivious to everybody else . he told kamala ,
i want laxman to see my film . it will release in two weeks . may i send you a dvd to watch it here ?
and she confidently replied ,
in two weeks he will be back home in pune .
he was , and r . k . laxman continued to draw till a few weeks before he passed away at the age of 93 on 26 january , 2015 . his common man made a final appearance in a cartoon laxman presented to the indian space research organisation when its space probe mangalyaan reached mars on 24 september , 2014 . now three years later he ' s back , wearing the same dhoti , chequered coat and bewildered expression as he searches for another legendary cartoonist .
this is a good effort . but the supporting actors ( not the main two actors ) actually not co - operative with the
film
. and direction was weak . there is a scene , questioning a explosive seller in a dark room , that scene remembering me 1980 ' s indian films , but worse . if you ' re comparing this with hindi ( 2008 ) original film , you would say
this film inspire from the ' hindi one ' but this film has poor cinematography
. then the other - hand whole world suffering from the terrorism . suicide bombers are critical among all . specially , if you have experience that terrorist acts are how cruel , you ' ll feel to your heart what i mean . we all
common men
must fight against terrorism . i hope this film would be a courage to all of us .

the woman in the window ( 1944 ) . a married , middle - aged man falls for a femme fatale , and is involved in a fight with her current boyfriend . he kills the man in self - defense and soon discovers that he can not get away with it . on the surface a conservative parable on acting on repressed desires and paying a price for it . it has been argued however that director fritz lang aimed to depict the thin line between respectability and immorality , and how an ordinary person can be caught in a web of murder and intrigue . another key theme to the film noir genre .

chandran rutnam took a well - considered gamble to re - make a film that has been released just a five years before . in that respect too “a common man” is unique , the well - known remakes in hollywood , have had far longer gestation periods . director billy wilder’s “sabrina” first shot in 1955 with audrey hepburn , humphrey bogart and william holden while the 1995 version was directed by sydney pollack with harrison ford , greg kinnear and julia ormond . the other well - known remake is “an affair to remember” directed by leo mccarey with cary grant and deborah kerr in 1957 ( originally made by the same director in 1939 ) and the 1994 remake with warren beattie and annette bening directed by glenn gordon caron with the original name “love affair” . few will agree that the later remakes were better or equal to the original versions . who can forget the haunting melody in the original “ an affair to remember” ? the risk that chandran rutnam took was to use the script of “ a wednesday” but adopt it to make a different and in the opinion of this essayist , a subtle and effectively a different film on the same script . the direction of the “ a common man” is tighter . no frame could be disposed of , without damaging the story line and its clear articulation of the plot and how it got played out . excellent editing helped to make this a well - focused and tightly told story . but none of the subtlety of the original plot is lost , in fact it is enhanced . the ending is more dramatic than in “ a wednesday” . the one and the only meeting between the common man and the dig is very sparingly done , somewhat reminiscent of a hitchcock ending .

insomnia ( 2002 ) : the american adaptation of a norwegian film from 1997 . at its core a fairly straightforward noir with al pacino as an angst - ridden cop dealing with past mistakes .
the only reason you’re considering watching this film is because of ben kingsley’s name on the marquee , and that’s not a bad one . horrible career choices aside , kingsley always manages to be entertaining . the man has an oscar , for god’s sake , and a deserved one , not one of those denzel washington - in - training day oscars .
between the hero and the female lead ; noir stories are quite risqué . the original film noir era followed the

film noir ( literally
black film
in french ) is a genre of stylish crime dramas , difficult to define , but the 1940s and 1950s were the classic period . whether works since then can be accurately classed as noir is a subject of much debate among film critics . film noir , and the literature from which it is drawn , is clearly the progenitor of later genres , particularly cyberpunk . common plots of noir films include murder investigations , heists , con games , and ( mostly ) innocent men or women wrongly accused of crime . the double - cross and cigarette smoking are mandatory . complicated plots are further convoluted by flashbacks and flash forwards — the narration tying everything together , assuming we can trust him .
oddly enough , the mechanism which might put this in the film was very much in operation in mr . bolt & apos ; s play on the stage , but it has been omitted from this more literal presentation on the screen . that was a composite character whom mr . bolt called the common man , a little fellow who opened the proceedings with a significant apology for being so conspicuously present in a play about kings and cardinals , and then went on to move in and out of the drama in several menial roles - as a steward in the home of more , a boatman , a jailer , an innkeeper , foreman of the jury at the trial of more and eventually the executioner who chopped off the hero & apos ; s head .
kate dickie , a scottish actress known for red road , is the most credited film actress of the current decade , followed by doctor who’s jodie whittaker .
“a common man” has two of the world’s leading actors , an oscar winner , ben kingsley ( well known for his portrayals of gandhi , directed by sir richard attenborough and itzhak stern , as schindler’s accountant in the steven spielberg movie , “schindler’s list” ( 1993 ) , to name just two ) . ben cross , as oscar nominee is famous for his portrayal of harold abrahams in “chariots of fire” ( 1981 ) by hugh hudson . among other films . while the main contours of the plot in “ a common man” and “a wednesday” are the same , chandran rutnam has created mostly a different film . he has made several deft changes to the plot , articulation in the telling of the story and the ending . his direction has put distance between the two films . in fact one sees little commonality between the two films , starting from the same core plot . also , the film was shot entirely in colombo and its suburbs , another first given that other films were made only in part in sri lanka as ‘elephant walk’ and ‘bridge on the river kwai’ and the most recent “ midnight’s children” .

ironically , this little fellow would be an apt cinematic device for providing a further dimension to this stylistically conventional film , a flexible and fascinating figure to further emphasize the loneliness of more . while there are separate characters who play his composite roles and speak some of his speeches , this is not the same as having one man symbolize the entire commonality - formulating a consensus , if you wish , and compacting the skepticism and caution that a consensus usually represents .

a few really good things , the rest mediocre - nasha could have been better .
nasha , produced by eagle home entertainment and one line cinema , releases july 26 .
this film has exposed the ' acting ' skills of poonam pandey and i am sure any sensible film maker will think twice before signing her . it is a cheap and dangerous nasha that should be avoided at all costs !
feroz khan was to make a film titled
nasha
starring himself , amitabh bachchan , fardeen khan and aishwarya rai . the story was about a battle against drugs . this was in 2002 . ferozs shelved the film to remake kurbani .
the erotic - thriller \ ' nasha \ ' starring poonam pandey released on july 26 . the film could not do well at the box - office over its adult content .
nasha phenix is in a celebratory mood and justifiably so as her long cherished dream is coming true . nasha will be debuting on the big screen of mollywood through the film celebrations , directed by manjith . nasha , who got a job with air india as an airhostess , had to let go of the job to accommodate her film dates — something she is not unduly worried about considering that she has an active role to play in her family owned construction business .
telugu film industry seems to have developed some love towards jagan all . . .
another department where nasha scores big time is the film’s music by sangeet - siddharth . the goti number is likely to become a big hit with urban teenagers , as it perfectly captures their lingo .
“i was quite upset because ‘nasha’ was not promoted well . this time for my film ‘helen’ , i have spoken to the marketing team to spend a lot on promotional activity , ” poonam said .

this sheet music provides for treble and base clef for the famous bollywood song pehala nasha , from film jo jita wo sikkander with chords . it also contains all the music including intro , bgms , other music .
film will receive bad to below average reviews and that is what expected for an erotica .

after reading this review you must recommend me for a bravery award . poonam pandey ' s nasha is a cheap and forgettable film , despite all the loud claims she made on twitter . the storyline is weak and the acting is pathetic . nasha is such a bad film that it needs to be ranked ' minus zero ' . this is because some see a wee bit of positivity in a zero too . therefore to dispel any such remote notions , it ' s a minus zero .
the exact figures only the producers of the film would know , but last i heard , nasha had earned between 7 . 5 - 8 crore rupees ( around $ 1 . 2 million usd ) which is about double it ' s cost .
however , prateik babbar ' s
issaq
and poonam pandey ' s
nasha
failed to pick up over the weekend .
issaq
collections were pegged at ₹3 crore nett , whereas
nasha
raked in ₹2 . 75 - 3 crore nett , according to boxofficeindia . com .
the peppy dialogues ( by radhika anand ) keep you entertained and even provoked through the film . of course , these dialogues are meant for the film ' s target audience , the teenagers , not for grown - ups .
the film’s producer aditya bhatia reasons , “nasha is a bold film . naturally , we have to retain the bold quotient in our promotions . i have cast poonam pandey for explicit content . that’s the image she has . we can’t be showing her as a sati savitri when she’s playing a bold role . and don’t forget , we have to deliver what poonam’s fans expect . ”
where the film lets you down ( and no pun intended here ) big time is when sahil and anita ( poonam pandey ) make love to each other . saxena fails miserably to get the right expressions from nasha’s lead stars when they are in the throes of passion .
the film has its share of abusive language but there are also moments of tenderness , love and heartbreak captured brilliantly .
however , sad’s spokespersons have also asserted that the film’s troubles with the cbfc have nothing to do with the party .
film might stand a chance at box office riding on popularity of such content in single screens and among masses but oveall scenario looks grim . film has to fight other new releases of the week too in order to make any mark .
the udta punjab team has argued that the expletives used in the film are essential to the plot and context . the latest reports also suggest that anurag kashyap has approached the i & b ministry to expedite the certification process for the film .
however producer aditya bhatia states his own reasons saying ‘nasha’ is a bold film and they had to take such measures for the promotion of the movie . he said that as the producer of the film , he has to take some confident steps and show what poonam’s fans expect to see . further , they don’t have any kind of agreement with the actress that mentions anything such as “no use of mms” .
bollywood ' s latest films -
bajatey raho
,
issaq
and
nasha
, have opened to a poor response at the domestic box office .
this parting shot from sahil ' s muse is enough to help him come out of his nasha , enjoy the hangover and carry on with life . rediff rating :
nasha is a movie starring akshay bhagat , ranbir chakma , and nikhil desai . an 18 year old boy falls in love with his 25 year old drama teacher .
the movie had to struggle hard owing to the below average performance on friday . it could not grab the audience to the big screen because of negative reviews received by the film . it was hurt by the poor figures and can be counted as a complete washout . on friday , the film managed to reach up to 1 crore nett , while on the second day of its release , it incurred 00 . 90 crore nett . on sunday , the collection of the film was 1 crore nett , complicating the future path of the film . hence , the total domestic collection of the film on its first weekend was 2 . 90 crore nett . the film performed better in single screen theaters , failing entirely to accomplish the interest of multiplex viewers , as it was unfit for family viewing considering its adult content . also , the other movies that released on the same day , like ' bajatey raho ' , ' issaq ' and hollywood film ' the wolverine ' gave a tough competition to ' nasha ' .
work on our masha began in 2004 with a script by leonid kaganov and aleksandr bachilo . in 2007 , the film , then called krakatuk , was announced as russia’s first 3 - d digitally animated film , with a scheduled release date of 25 october 2007 . the film’s ongoing problems prevented this billing from being fulfilled . the script was re - written several times and the animation was re - done , further adding to the cost of the film . distribution of the film further delayed the release . the film was originally intended to be a joint venture between the russian company a - media and upi , but the two ended their partnership in september 2007 . a - media , a company primarily known for its television serials , such as my beautiful nanny ( moia prekrasnaia niania ) , not born beautiful ( ne rodis’ krasivoi ) , tatyana’s day ( tat’ianin den’ ) and others , decided to distribute our masha , its first feature - length film , itself , but the project was again put on hold by the 2008 financial crisis . the film was finally picked up for distribution by the newly - formed company “nashe kino” and released under its new title , nasha masha i volshebnyi orekh , on 10 december 2009 , over five years after work on the film first started .
actress poonam pandey’s upcoming movie ‘nasha’ which has been in enough controversies already is again in yet another one . the debutante actress’ declaration of the fact that she is not in favor of the release , or rather the “leak” , of a “fake mms” , featuring the actress taking a bath , in order to promote her film ‘nasha’ created quite an uproar in the media and on the social networking websites . she stated that it was released without her consent and is unhappy about that .
members of the ruling dispensation in punjab , the shiromani akali dal has been rather vociferous in its opposition to the film . since udta punjab ’s trailer released in april , there were reports that diljit dosanjh had been criticised for acting in a film that “defames” punjab .
further , he added that they had no agreement with the actress stating any dos and don’ts for promotion etc . “we don ' t have any clause in the contract stating we can’t use mms or any specific concept for the film’s promotion . my director amit saxena and i are in agreement on the kind of promotion our film requires . we know what to show in the best interest of the film . ”
nasha is not particular that she would only do heroine roles . she informs , “i play a character with negative shades in the film . this role is very central to the film . i did not enter the industry with a fixed notion that i would play only the heroine . my intention was to showcase my talent through a good role which i am confident my character is . the director too believes that i can deliver a good performance and that gives me a boost . ” nasha plays a character that is very rough and she explains , “my character is always in an angry mode and is a modern lady who dresses very glamorously . she is someone who behaves very roughly with everyone around her and playing that role presented a lot of challenges for me because she is completely different from what i am in real life . i am this quite , childish girl who speaks to everyone with a smile whereas in the film i had to do a complete volte - face . ” nasha says she has been getting more offers but she is particular that she would only take up good roles that are integral to the film’s plot .
nasha 2013 movie , featuring poonam pandey hit the headlines for her bold and exotic avatar in the movie . the movie gained mixed critical response . must watch a movie but without family ! right ?
the shahid kapoor , alia bhatt , kareena kapoor and diljit dosanjh starrer udta punjab has run into trouble with the central board of film certification .
pehla nasha ( hindi : पहला नशा , urdu : پہلا نشہ , english : first intoxication ( as in love ) ) is a 1993 indian film directed by ashutosh gowariker who made his directorial debut . the movie is a remake of brian de palma ' s 1984 thriller body double . deepak tijori plays the lead role alongside pooja bhatt , raveena tandon and paresh rawal . the film also has cameo appearances by aamir khan , shahrukh khan , juhi chawla and saif ali khan as themselves .
nasha movie talks about the addictions of the youth . it is a coming of age film . it is a film that every moviegoer will identify with . it is the story of an 18 year old boy who falls hopelessly in love with a 25 year old woman . a woman he cannot have , but a woman he cannot help but desire . and , as is the case with desires unfulfilled , they turn into obsessions . and yet , every obsession is a lesson learnt ; an experience gained . so that , in the
what’s interesting about the censors’ demand is that the producers of udta punjab — phanton films and balaji motion pictures — are seeking an ‘a’ rating for their film .
her parents have been her pillars of strength , supporting her tinsel town dreams . an urge to learn more about acting led nasha to the balaji film institute in mumbai but she discontinued her studies after a month due to some personal reasons . she continues , “i also did some modeling in between and while pursuing that i got a call for a film audition . i went there and was asked to act out a scene . i was later called in the evening and confirmed for the role which is how my debut through celebrations happened . ”

“this film is very close to my heart , i am more interested in doing content - driven films and this film has a very strong content . as of now , i am undergoing workshops and trying to learn some dance moves for a song in the film . it has been a tedious journey so far , and we shall start shooting by next month , ” said the actress , who first grabbed attention when she promised to strip down for the indian team if they won the world cup in 2011 .
an indian express report also quoted sad mla karan virsa singh valtoha sa saying that the film was an “outcome of a trend to defame punjab and its youth” . however , the party’s spokesperson daljit singh cheema had clarified that sad would not be seeking a ban on the film until after it had released , and its content seen . “it will be wrong to comment hypothetically till we do not watch the exact contents . deputy cm sukhbir singh badal will take a call once the film is released , ” cheema said .
previously , udta punjab director abhishek chaubey had mentioned in an interview with huffington post india , just how difficult it was to get funding for the project . according to him , the theme of the film had been a major deterrent for potential producers , as well as the possibility of losing out on revenue streams , should the film get an ‘a’ rating . some production houses — before balaji and phantom stepped into the picture — also felt that the film would run into trouble with the cbfc because of its content .
the ‘erotic’ love story belongs to the film’s teeny boppers , especially sahil , whose innocence , infatuation and vulnerability keeps you glued to your seat for the two hours it lasts .
2 ] anti - killer was the top - grossing russian film of 2002 and anti - killer 2 made an unprecedented $ 1 , 280 , 000 in its opening weekend alone .
censor board goes little rough on these films but still these movies remain under the adult ( a ) category and that is not at all meant to be called as family oriented film .
apparently , the cbfc has found fault with the expletives used in the film — especially by shahid’s character , a rockstar named tommy , and demanded that these be cut before it grants certification .

the ‘erotic’ love story belongs to the film’s teeny boppers , especially sahil , whose innocence , infatuation and vulnerability keeps you glued to your seat for the two hours it lasts , writes prasanna zore .
as per the distributors , nasha earned around 4 cr net . the production + marketing budget would not have been less than 8 - 10 cr minimum . i wont be surprised if it ' s 12 + as well . so , sadly it bombed at the bo .
nasha is directed by amit saxena who gave us jism , but that was a decade ago and before the advent of sunny leone . can he recreate the magic for poonam to succeed ? well that is something that only time will tell . for now check out the promo .
julie , starring neha dupia , produced by nr pachisia and directed by deepak shivdasani . film stars - neha dhupia , priyanshu chatterjee , yash tonk , sanjay kapoor and achint kaur are the cast ! this movie created the buzz among the young generation as it was a certificate across india . after the release of this movie , neha dhupia said that only sex and shah rukh khan sell in the film industry .
despite a bad start ,
bajatey raho
witnessed an upward trend during saturday ( 27 july ) and sunday ( 28 july ) . the film earned ₹4 . 75 crore nett in the opening weekend .
poonam pandey is a disaster in the name of acting . her husky voice sounds terrible on screen . her acting in the film is so pathetic that when she was shouting , people in the cinema hall were laughing !
by this point the film had lost much of its momentum . other 3 - d animation projects were finished during the time period , such as georgii gitis’s the adventures of alenushka and erema . our masha went from “russia’s first 3 - d animated film” to “what was to have been russia’s first 3 - d animated film . ” without the novelty of being a technological breakthrough to fall back on , our masha had trouble finding its audience . the animation itself is an attempt at something bold and experimental , but the delays in the release make the film look dated , particularly when compared to the latest pixar and dreamworks releases . the characters , such as the overtly sexualized teenager masha , and plot , which contains the dramatic sacrificial deaths of several of the main characters , are perhaps too mature for children , yet at the same time too simplistic for adults to enjoy fully .
love sex aur dhokha was a 2010 film which was a certified . the best thing about this movie is , the entire movie was shot on the digi cam and lsd was the first movie in india that presented a film in that style . the story is divided into 3 subplots - honour killing , sting operations , and mms scandals ! it is a must watch movie but not with your family because of its bold and exotic scenes .
film will find it tough to take a start at box office as multiplex friendly films

do you have any other upcoming projects ? yeah , just waiting for the released date of “nasha” . on the other hand , i am reading quite a few more scripts on the line , i haven’t decided though . if i get the right script , i am keen to move on with the project .
a case in point is aap’s kumar vishwas music video called “ ek nasha ” that went viral on social media earlier this month . the song’s lyrics included accusations against the badal government of ( among other things ) promoting the drug trade . sad members were reportedly considering suing vishwas for defamation at the time .
the singer recreates a unique version of the classic bollywood love songalaa wardi , an iranian - born singer based in saudi arabia , whose vocal harmonies and one - man viral videos have become big hits in the middle - east , has recently uploaded a video of him singing pehla nasha from the movie jo jeeta wohi sikandar .
the 24 - year - old previously clarified that the film is not a biopic on yesteryear’s dancing diva helen . according to sources , there is a famous helen dance number in “helen” , and poonam has been doing workshops for the same .
hollywood release
the wolverine
, starring hugh jackman , has made a decent start at the indian box office . the film raked in about ₹10 . 5 crore , which was far better than the collections made by the new bollywood releases .
now over a decade later mallika hardly has any work , has still just a single hit to her credit and mouths outrageous statements to be in news . we have also had porn queen sunny leone making a splash in india with her presence in t . v and films . so its not surprising that poonam pandey gets to make her filmy debut as well . well to give her credit poonam pandey is already a twitter star , and is one of the most searched terms in india according to google . the skinny starlet has been updating details about the progress of her movie . she even ran a grab a nasha bikini contest in month of february 2013 as part of promotion for nasha .
with the state going in for elections next year , the sad understandably doesn’t want any more attention on the drug issue — which they believe has been blown out of proportion — whether it is by other political parties or by a film like udta punjab .
hi ranbir , is this your first movie ? i had earlier worked in an indie movie titled “software hardware kya yaaroon” directed by rabi kisku , an iit - ian turned director . the hinglish movie is due for released on april 5 , 2013 under the production label of pvr cinemas – director’s rare banner . we have a foreign cast in this movie . the film has been also screened at indian film festival in japan last year . the ost is sang by lucky ali and well - known rock band boomarang from mizoram .
interestingly – and ironically – the shiv sena burned posters of nasha before its release , saying that the hoardings looked objectionable . if the politically charged sainiks watched the film , they would realise that they have clearly wasted their time objecting to a movie that has absolutely nothing in it – not even a concrete plot ! even those who walk into the theatres with the sole purpose of feasting their eyes on tempting revelations that poonam promised in the promos will have to be satisfied with a couple of passionate kissing sequences and a scene in which poonam takes a walk in her chaddis . in fact , the boys in the movie have shown more skin than the desperate damsel .
we could have ignored saxena’s huge mistake of not tapping into poonam’s real ‘potential’ , if only he had given us a truly engaging story in return . alas , the director has failed on both counts and what you get is a film that leaves you searching for the exit door .
of coping with his unrequited love , the boy requites a lot more . and both he and the woman come of age . beyond mere years , in the truest sense of the word . a tale as much of longing as of losing , nasha is a story that transcends seasons and generations . because we ' ve all been there , done that . and shall continue to do so .
‘hunterrr’ is a 2015 indian adult comedy film that is written by harshavardhan kulkarni . the movie features gulshan devaiah , radhika apte , and sai tamhankar . the movie is all about a boy , unassuming sex addict and his lustful journey of life . you definitely can’t watch this movie with your family !
our masha was directed by egor mikhalkov - konchalovskii , of anti - killer and anti - killer 2 fame . to those familiar with these two violent , hollywood - style blockbuster films , our masha may seem like a radical departure for the director . mikhalkov - konchalovskii himself admits that he was unsure about taking on an animated film , but says he is an adventurer at heart and that the producers eventually persuaded him to work on this project ( “krakatuk na podkhode” ) . the decision to make this film most likely stemmed from more than just an adventurous spirit . our masha’s budget was over three million dollars , a sum greater than the budget of either anti - killer and anti - killer 2 , and had the potential to be as wildly successful as the two aforementioned films had been . [ 2 ] our masha , however , was unable to follow in the footsteps of the director’s previous successes . the film , while not a complete financial failure , made a total of $ 626 , 459 during its box office run in russia . by comparison , the third anti - killer film , released one week before our masha and directed not by mikhalkov - konchalovskii but by el’dar salavatov , earned nearly three times as much in russian theaters .
this ' upright ' teacher teaches the most immoral lesson of love -
love is like summer vacations , it gives different type of pleasure every year ,
says poonam and the crowd hails it with a loud applause ! the screenplay is cliched and the songs are mediocre . amit saxena has failed miserably as a director . his jism was classy because it had the bhatt camp background , but nasha is nothing but p - grade ( poonam grade ) .
six tracks of
nasha
do not have anything erotic . rather the music is sweet , simple and has a very calm undertone . of course , one cannot vouch for the videos of the songs , but the audio definitely is good and soothing in its own respect . title song is melodious and
goti song
is youthful in addition to routine
laila
. but the surprising is
besharam
. in nutshell , a good listen !
natalia oreiro’s story is absolutely unique . she is the only performer from rio de la plata and one of the very few latin american performers who , despite language and curtural barriers , has become a popular symbol in such different countries as czech republic , poland , russia and israel , this film is an attempt to uncover the phenomenon .
the soundtrack to our masha contributes both to the epic fairy tale quality and the modern feel of the story through its contrasting instrumental and vocal scores . composer mark erman wrote the orchestral score for the film , which was recorded at mosfil’m by a full orchestra under the direction of iurii tkachenko , who was awarded the honorary title of meritorious artist of the russian federation in 2002 . in addition to this impressive orchestral cast , the 72 - minute film also features nine songs written by the composers maksim fadeev and nikolai krupatin and performed by artists such as viktoriia daineko , stas p’ekha , korni , chelsi , bis , and others . the film highlights the very diverse songs in several different ways : masha , and her toys - turned - human friends gosha , mikhei , and bor’ko spontaneously perform the song “friends rap” directly to the camera , complete with music - video inspired dance moves ; the emperor , suddenly sporting pink pants , a pink vest , a pink top hat and a microphone , performs his feature song to a packed stadium gathered for the execution of masha and her friends ; masha spends several minutes falling and reminiscing about her friends to the sound of viktoriia daineko singing “my angel . ” these songs often appear suddenly and with a jarringly different tone than the scene they interrupt . while they are generally not integral to the progression of the plot , the musical numbers do add to the film’s fantasy - world - atmosphere , where something completely unexpected and strange—such as a spontaneous rap song—could happen at any moment .

known for opening her mouth wide only to make promises that will make headlines ( remember her vow to strip to absolutely nothingness if team india won the cricket world cup ? ) and creating sensations by uploading provocative ( read : tacky ) pictures on a microblogging site , the pandey gal has shown some determination to go beyond her usual ‘body of work’ in her debut movie , nasha . but amit saxena’s lazy direction and his inefficiency in utilising the ‘resources’ easily available to him could only damage brand poonam pandey rather than taking it a step ahead or converting morphing the publicity - hungry babe into a promising onscreen seductress .

bhaag milkha bhaag
did good business when compared with the new films . the biopic , inspired by milkha singh , made about ₹9 - 9 . 50 crore nett in its third weekend , despite five new hindi films released in the last two weekends . the sports film continues to rule the roost at the box office even in its third week . it has grossed about ₹92 crore and is all set to cross the ₹100 - crore mark comfortably in a few days .
a stand and deliver - style inspirational drama where students from the rough paris suburbs find their lives upended by memories of the holocaust , once in a lifetime ( les heritiers ) is a well - intentioned , occasionally moving but far too loosely helmed effort from french producer - director marie - castille mention - schaar ( bowling ) . based on a true story , the film features a few undeniably powerful moments – particularly when an auschwitz survivor tells his tale to a classroom – yet never develops into a veritable narrative , with direction that lacks any real sense of vision .
sahil ( shivam ) is your regular testosterone - charged teenager who loves to hang out with his gang and have fun with his girlfriend . poonam ( anita ) plays the newly appointed teacher in the school where sahil studies . while sahil’s gang of boys are busy admiring anita’s well - endowed body , the young stud falls in love with the lady . he even starts developing a relationship with her . soon sahil is left heartbroken when he finds out that anita has been in a relationship with samuel for the past five years . what leads to this unexpected revelation is a series of emotional atyachaar s sahil goes through to learn to draw a definite line between lust and love . will sahil gain the love of his life if he expresses his true feelings for anita ? that is the basic plot of nasha .
the film’s website notes that , in reference to the book version of this november 2009 film , the attentive reader may notice a few similarities between this story and e . t . a . hoffmann’s “the nutcracker and the mouse king . ” hoffmann’s tale has served as the inspiration for many russian adaptations both on stage and on screen . [ 1 ] in her review of the most recent animated version , tat’iana il’ina’s the nutcracker ( shchelkunchik , 2004 ) , laura pontieri hlavacek notes that adaptations often simplify the plot of the original story and most leave out hoffmann’s magical nut krakatuk . our masha , on the other hand , focuses on the struggle to harness its power , which has been changed from the ability to break the spell cast on princess pirlipat to the ability to grant one wish , no matter how great . our masha makes several other changes to hoffmann’s story in order to modernize and sensationalize it : masha , who wears a revealing crop - top shirt with low cut jeans , discovers the magic nut while snowboarding ; gosha , her nutcracker - prince , appears as a robot rather than a traditional nutcracker ; and the “mouse king” has been promoted to the “rat emperor , ” just to name a few .
“in a far away galaxy , a magical nut is formed once every thousand years . it can grant any wish . . . ” these words , set against a starry background and the image of a nut falling to earth as satellites track it , provide the premise for the animated film our masha . the heroine , masha , is a teenage girl who believes that the only good men in the world are her toys . upon her discovery of the magic nut , krakatuk , magical things begin to happen . masha shrinks and her aforementioned toy friends come to life . they are chased by two rats who wish to steal krakatuk and in the process are all transported to a parallel world , where the real adventure begins . one of the toys , now transformed into a real man , becomes masha’s love interest . masha , unfortunately , is soon kidnapped by the rat emperor , who not only wants to use krakatuk to become emperor but also wants to marry masha . her friends must find a way to prevent both of these terrible things from happening .

made by the edison manufacturing company and directed by edwin s. porter , the film starred gladys hulette as alice .

what was used in the film was faithful in spirit to carroll , and in design to the original john tenniel illustrations .

variety complimented the picture by comparing it favourably to the " foreign " film fantasies then flooding american cinemas .

not much to say here . just an impressively solid adaptation . the costumes and set seem to be about the best they could do at the time , and the story is so visual and nonsensical , it lends itself to a silent film . 1 / 2 star bonus point because this version still synced pretty well with pink floyd ' s the wall .
