What made 'Luck' a reality

Image
Making a life-or-death reality show come alive on the big screen is no mean feat. But this is exactly what Prime Focus, Bollywood's leading post-production house, has made possible in Soham Shah's multi-starrer Luck. The film, loosely based on a reality show format and shot extensively in South Africa, has some nail-biting stunt sequences where the difference between life and death is the contestants 'luck'. The Mumbai based post-production house, which has executed vfx for a number of Bollywood films so far, did some extensive work on Luck. The overriding factor on-shoot was the actors' safety. "As is often the case, this film too demanded the use of computer graphics and visual effects to make possible complex action sequences, including underwater and blasts," Merzin Tavaria, Creative Director, Prime Focus told Bollywood Hungama , "Our brief required us to make sure that the director's vision of cutting-edge and fast paced action sequences cam

Multiplexes update: 'Love Aaj Kal' attracts more footfalls than 'Ghajini'

Image
LOVE AAJ KAL is on a record-smashing spree. The Cinemax chain of multiplexes recorded a record turnout for this Saif-Deepika starrer on Friday. Cinemax, one of the leading multiplex chains of India [74 screens in 24 multiplexes], saw approx. 49,700 footfalls in their properties on Friday. LOVE AAJ KAL has clearly overtaken the other big openers at this chain:- NEW YORK [34,500 footfalls on Friday], KAMBAKKHT ISHQ [39,800 footfalls] and GHAJINI [39,500 footfalls]. "The response is amazing. Even the 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. shows in Gujarat are running to packed houses," Devang Sampat of Cinemax informs me

Saif Ali Khan didn't want to have Mumbai premiere for Love Aaj Kal

Image
The recent hectic round of production-related activities and marketing culminating in the painful process of pacifying the Sikh federations about the length of his beard, has taken a toll on Saif Ali Khan. The actor is exhausted and completely not in the mood for any more events related to the film. The premiere was held in Delhi instead of Mumbai on Thursday night. This would be construed as odd behaviour considering all of Saif and Kareena's friends together at a Mumbai premiere would have constituted almost the entire industry. And they were just a phone call away. Says Saif, "That's precisely why we decided not to have a premiere in Mumbai. I'd have had to call up everyone personally and ask them to come. It would've seemed like asking for a favour. And I don't want anyone to watch my film out of a sense of generosity." The last-minute decision to shift the venue of the premiere to Delhi kept most of Saif's colleagues out. But it didn't stop A

Akshay gets an impromptu holiday as Deepika heads to India for Love Aaj Kal

Image
London is currently host to two major film units from Bollywood. Both seem to be facing their own quota of problems. While Abbas Tyrewala's 1: 800 Love has been encountering a number of visa-related and location problems, Sajid Khan's Housefull suffered a setback when its leading lady Deepika Padukone fell ill. Even before she, and the unit, could recover from this setback, Deepika left London to join Saif Ali Khan and Imtiaz Ali for an event related to her new release Love Aaj Kal in Delhi. Akshay of course is playing it cool in London and rooting for Love Aaj Kal since it features his friend Saif in a Sikh's role. Akshay has been there last year in Singh Is Kinng . Says Akshay, ''My son Aarav goes back to Mumbai tomorrow. His school starts on Monday. I've a holiday today (Friday) so I can spend time with him and my wife.'' Twinkle returns to join Akshay in London after a fortnight. She now tries to spend as much time with Akshay as possible w

As predicted by this writer in the review of the film ["internationally, it has the potential to emerge one of the biggest grossers in recent times"], LOVE AAJ KAL has fetched a mind-boggling start in U.K. In fact, it's one of the biggest starts ever. Let's have a comparative study to judge how big the film has opened...

3 Important Reminders Before Choosing a Niche

Websites are now commonly becoming the fundamental stones to making a living online, however, choosing a niche can be rather difficult when starting out your first web page. However, here, I have listed simple informative reminders that you can easily follow step by step to first and lastly, discover a niche that you can both financially benefit wallet wise and be interested to write about it as well.

Tsunami watch issued after earthquake in Indian Ocean

Image
A tsunami watch has been issued after a 7.6-magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean near India's Andaman Islands, authorities said. The watch covers India, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia and Bangladesh, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The quake struck at 1:55 a.m. (3:55 p.m. ET), about 163 miles (262 km) north of Port Blair, Andaman Islands, and 225 miles south-southwest of Pathein, Myanmar, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Its focus was about 20 miles below the Earth's surface. In general, earthquakes centered closer to the Earth's surface produce stronger shaking and can cause more damage than those further underground. "Earthquakes of this size have the potential to generate a destructive local tsunami and sometimes a destructive regional tsunami along coasts located usually no more than a thousand kilometers from the earthquake epicenter," said the bulletin from the tsunami warning center. "It is not known that a tsunami was genera
