Super 30

Starring Hrithik Roshan,Mrunal Thakur, Pankaj Tripathi. Aditya Shrivastava

Directed by Vikah Bahl

Super 30 is magnificent survivor of a film. It survives Hrithik Roshan’s atrocious ‘Bihari’ accent, probably picked from one of the many Lalu Yadav skits on the internet. It not only survives the verbal abomination, it also stakes it claim among the most inspiring and kindred films on the empowerment of the underprivileged through education.

Mathematician par excellence Anand Kumar couldn’t have hoped for a better showcasing of his remarkable work in the field of education. Of course, the original endeavour to give the dis empowered students a chance to make a place in the sun, has been substantially amplified and dramatized. The climax specially, shot in a hospital premise with the protagonist’s students taking on a gang of professional goons, is a hoot.

But then, this film survives the onslaught of the outrageous,...

A couple, but the one which stood out was this ? A teenage boy is cleaning a sewage,...

When Vibhavari (Sugandha Garg), an up-and-coming Bollywood music director, finds herself facing a creative block, she sets off for Punjab to meet and record folk singer Bibi Swaroop (Sadhana Singh). She first meets Bibi’s son, Mastana (Siddhant Behl), a charming and personable local singer himself, who insists that Vibs must listen to him sing and record him. In Mastana and his mother Bibi, Vibs finds the inspiration that has been escaping her. It’s not surprising that Vibs and Mastana grow close – close enough to spend the night together, admittedly encouraged by not only their music, but also by a bottle of Gulabo (the country liquor that also featured inVishal Bhardwaj’s Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola). Mastana is mortified; Vibs sees it as something pure and natural, but, in the end, no big deal.

This, frankly, is one of several refreshing things about Shefali Bhushan’s film Jugni (literally a female firefly,...

Making its premiere tonight at the London Indian Film Festival is Shefali Bhusan’s magical musical tale Jugni. The film, set to the rustic beats and full of sound and feeling music by Clinton Cerejo, stars Sugandha Garg, Siddhant Behl, Sadhana Singh, Anuritta K Jha, Samir Sharma, and Chandan S Gill.

Set in the beauty of Punjab, Jugni tells the tale of Vibhavari (Vibs) a young composer from Mumbai. She is in search of Bibi Saroop, the voice that she believes will be the saviour of her new score. She bumps into Bibi’s dashing son Mastana who also has an incredible voice. Vibs records Mastana’s renditions of Punjabi folk songs as well as Bibi Saroop’s song. What happens next? Is it a bittersweet tale or happily ever musically after? You have to watch the film to see! The film is all about dealing with the hardships in...

Music is an integral part of Shefali Bhushan’s directorial debut Jugni and interestingly most of the names involved including the protagonists as well as the director have a strong music connection. So, while Shefali and the film’s leading lady Sugandha Garg are both trained in classical music, another lead character played by yesteryear actress Sadhana Singh too is a prolific singer.

An exception to this musical background is the lead actor, Siddhant Behl. The actor reveals that though he is playing the role of a singer in Jugni, he has no formal or informal training in music. However, he took up the challenge in his stride and tried to grasp the essence of basic ragas and taals during his pre-shoot session with Shefali.

When quizzed on whether he felt like an outsider amongst a music-oriented cast, he quips, “Music is anyways something that you feel from the heart...

Jugni (Firefly), written and directed by Shefali Bhushan, is all set to hit the silver screen on 29th January, 2016. Produced by Karan Grover, Manas Malhotra, and Shefali Bhushan, the film revolves around Vibhavari, a music director, who is working on her first big break in the Hindi film industry.

With the star cast of Sugandha Garg, Siddhant Behl, Anurita Jha, Sadhana Singh, Samir Sharma, Jugni is all about striking balances and dealing with the unpredictability of life, while finding the place one can call home; home of the heart, where the firefly is at her brightest!

As far as debutants go, 2009 was one of the worst years in recent years. No Ranbir. Or Deepika. Not even a Neil or a Mugdha. There were just a handful of wannabes like Vashu Bhagnani's son Jackky and Sadhana Singh's daughter Sheena. None of the newcomers added up to much. Hopefully, the faces in 2010 would be more productive.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sonakshi Sinha</span><br style="font-weight: bold;" />Film: Abhinav Kashyap's DabanggBackground: Daughter to and pampered by Shatrughan and Punam Sinha, Sonakshi did somemodelling and had no intentions of being an actress until Salman Khan spotted her.Verdict: Sonakshi has what it takes, besides Salman's staunch support and her parents' guidance she is described as  &quot;stunningly pretty&quot; by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Zarine Khan</span><br style="font-weight: bold;" />Film: Anil Sharma's VeerBackground: Came in from the cold, no family connections, just Salman Khan's recommendationVerdict: She has Salman to back up her starry dreams.
