INDIA WINS with Chennai Express

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone dance on Kashmir Tu, main Kanyakumari in film Chennai Express

What a delightful film Chennai Express is, one which I can watch with my parents and kids around. Not one moment to feel queasy about. No exposing, no cheap jerks and no filthy language. In fact, fun and light-heartedness of the script kept everyone in raptures while watching the film.

INDIA INCREDIBLE: I loved the way India is the highlight in the film. Beautiful cinematography and song sequences. I am yet to see such gloriously calm, picturesque hamlets enroute Rameshwaram but the tea gardens in Tamil Nady - Ooty, do indeed carry that tranquil feel.



India stands out as the HERO in the film Chennai Express.

Chennai Express is a 2013 Indian romcom film directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Gauri Khan under her production banner Red Chillies Entertainment. The film features Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.
Producers: Ronnie Screwvala, Gauri Khan, Karim Morani, Siddharth Roy Kapur
 
 
NIMI SAYS: Aptly timed around the 15 August long weekend. It's a hit. Themed around Indian ethics of a marriage and human relations, it's smartly packaged in a way that the youth can understand and relate to today.
RATING: ****

When a man makes an indecent proposal..to a man

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d

Allah tero naam. Ishwar tero naam at Jodhpur RIFF changed my perspective.... Indian Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna collaborates with transwomen singers at the Jodhpur RIFF 2017 This was my very first visit to Jodhpur and I coincided it with an attempt to catch the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) whose chief patron is Marwar's royalty Gaj Singh II. One of the renditions by Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna (TMK - as he is lovingly called) changed my life's perspective so much so that this feeling is here to stay and share. TMK sang a very popular song called 'Allah Tero Naam. Ishwar Tero Naam...' with a 'specific reason' as he perched effortlessly at the break of dawn at  Jaswant Thada near Mehrangarh Fort. With him were the absolute delights of the season — The  Jogappa singers. These transwomen musicians were clad in simple sarees, played traditional instruments and sang at an unusually shrill high pitch.  Music legend TM Kri
