Shah Rukh Khan starrer Rakesh Sharma bio-pic Salute cuts down heroine’s role?

Jun 142018

Even while we rejoice over the empowerment of female actors in films like Hichki, Veere Di Wedding and Raazi there comes the dismaying news that the role of the female actor in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Salute, the proposed bio-pic on astronaut Rakesh Sharma, is being pruned down as no major actress is willing to play the part the astronaut’s wife.

For those who came in late, this Rakesh Sharma bio-pic was to star Aamir Khan who opted out. Now Shah Rukh Khan plays the lead in Salute. Apparently, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor Khan were approached to play Mrs Sharma, but they both felt they would be swamped out in script by the overpowering male protagonist.

The latest on Salute is that the makers have chosen to cut down the leading lady’s part and offer it to a secondary or a new actress. The logic being applied is, why invest so much time energy and money in an A-list heroine when the focus is on Shah Rukh Khan playing Rakesh Sharma?

Here’s what Reema Kagti has to say about Akshay Kumar starrer Gold

Gold, even though was rumoured to have deviated from its release date, seem to be on schedule. The film has retained its release date, August 15, marking the occasion of India’s Independence Day. Well, owing to the patriotic theme of the film, it is an apt date chosen by the makers for the release of the Akshay Kumar, Mouni Roy starrer.

Readers may be aware that Gold is a sports drama revolving around the real life incident of India’s first hockey win post-Independence. Not surprisingly, there is an emotional value attached to the film and it is not special only to the makers but also every Indian. Explaining the reason behind it, Reema Kagti stated in reports about how India had won a gold medal even in the past. The director of Gold revealed that India had won a gold medal way back in 1936 during the Berlin Olympics. However, the then India was under the British Rule.

But, the win of 1948 in London was after India became an independent nation. Speaking one of those special moments from her film in recent reports, Reema Kagti reminisced about a sequence where Akshay Kumar pulls out the Indian National Flag in the locker room to boost the spirits of his teammates. Apparently, the flag was then banned in Germany and yet the moment is iconic because it inspired the players as they saluted it.

The emotions of patriotism, according to Reema, is one of the driving forces in Gold. The film also will have both the iconic matches as a part of the film – the 1936 and the 1948 matches. Reema maintained that even though the characters in the film are not completely based on real life individuals, they have been inspired by the memorable ones. Like, the filmmaker mentioned that the role of Akshay Kumar is partly inspired by the assistant manager of the Indian hockey squad during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He had actually risen up the rank by the time India won its first match in 1948 in London.

On the other hand, elaborating on the prep for Gold, Reema Kagti maintained that she wanted a professional for her and the cast to understand the game. So she got Michael Nobbs on board, who has not only played in the 1948 Olympics, but has also coached the Indian hockey team for two years since 2011. She further added that her team too underwent prep beyond just learning the game. They had to understand the sport when it was played in a different era, that is the 40s and the rules, even the sticks used then were different.

Every time we think of Dharam paaji, the song ‘Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana’ instantly pops up in our head. The magic of the song is still so fresh in our minds that we can’t help but groove to its beat even now.

Well, the 70’s were all about Dharmendra’s quintessential persona and charm, as there was no one who wasn’t mesmerised by his aura. And when his sons Sunny and Bobby joined him for a movie, it was an absolute success.

The first installment of ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ brought the whole Deol family together in the most entertaining manner imaginable. Fans couldn’t have asked for more and the YPD franchise successfully managed to entertain the viewers.

‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ (2010) and ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 2’ (2013) were loved for their quirky dialogues and spot-on humour. And now comes the third installment ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se’ which sadly fails to leave a mark on us.

It’s not the actors who disappoint, but the cliché and stale comedy that we have been seeing for a decade, which completely falls flat on its face. No doubt it’s great to see the trio together, but there is nothing fresh in their equation. It’s just the old cocktail in a new bottle.

Dharmendra is introduced to us as Yamla Parmar — a womaniser, who is full of life and young at heart. Sunny Deol is a ‘vaidh’ (Doctor) this time, whose ‘dhai-kilo-ka-haath’ cannot go unnoticed and Bobby Deol is someone who just aims to please women.

While some dialogues might crack you up, the rest leave you with a blank face. However, Bobby pulling off Dharam’s iconic drunk scene from ‘Sholay’, is something you just can’t miss. But we’ve got to admit that no one can recreate what Dharam paaji did!

Adding to the franchise this time is also Salman Khan, who joins the bandwagon as Mastana. Sadly, his cameo doesn’t add anything to the flick and we hope the film has something better to offer.

Trailer Of The Conjuring's Spin-Off 'The Nun' Is Scarier Than 'Chai Pi Lo' Aunty's Videos

Since the past few weeks, the whole world has been talking incessantly about the Marvel Universe and how half the superheroes turned to dust at the snap of Thanos’ fingers and the Infinity Stones settled on them.

But, it’s time to move on and focus on a universe, which is scarier than any other world out there. We’re talking about ‘The Conjuring’ universe, which is back to scare the wits out of you with its fifth installment– ‘The Nun’.

While you were busy tagging your friends in the videos of ‘Chai pi lo’ Aunty, ‘The Conjuring 2’ directors released this eerie and unsettling trailer of ‘The Nun’, a spin-off that revolves around a nun who finds herself trapped in the midst of paranormal events as she investigates the death of a fellow nun. Given it has Taissa Farmiga in the movie, can we call it a scary crossover between ‘The Conjuring 2’ and ‘American Horror Story’?

The demonic nun from the creepy portrait, who also happens to be main antagonist in ‘The Conjuring 2’ is back. The same ghost who paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were after, has finally got her own standalone movie, but sadly the trailer did not impress me much.

The trailer takes us back in time to a Romanian convent; where a nun was found dead in a shady nook. ‘A priest with a haunted past’ and ‘a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows’ are sent to investigate the murder by the Vatican. Together they solve the murder mystery, travel through dingy dark paths and finally come face-to-face with the demonic nun.

Honestly, anyone who spots a ghost lurking around them will freak out and scream for help. But our protagonist here is so brave, that the first thing she says when she sees the ghost is “Hello!” How else will you break the ice if you don’t greet someone, right? But she realizes pretty soon that a greeting was not what that ghost nun was expecting from her.

For me, the element of fear was completely missing from this 1-minute 32-second long video, that had hyped up the horror genre for me, despite there being two demonic nuns this time, which at least the trailer hints at!

Directed by Corin Hardy and helmed by Gary Dauberman of ‘It’ fame, the movie will release on September 7 and stars Demian Bichir as Father Burke, Taissa Farmiga as Sister Irene, Charlotte Hope, Ingrid Bisu, and Bonnie Aarons.

Ecommerce Developers in Macau, China

The success of your ecommerce business will largely depend on how well your site looks and how smoothly it functions. If you are a serious business, then you must have professionals design and develop your ecommerce website.

The way we will approach your project is to first assign you one of our creative designers who will work with you to put together a design that reflects your vision for your website, looks elegant and professional and most importantly meets the expectations of the type of customers you are trying to attract. During this process we may go back and forth several times to get the design just right. Good design should establish brand identity, credibility, be in line with current trends and technologies, drive your call to action and give you a competitive advantage.

Once design is finalized, we will hand it over to our developer to integrate the design into the backend and incorporate all the necessary functionalities. We do it this way because you get better results by putting specialists on the job rather than letting one person do everything.

Ecommerce Developers – Macau, China

Do you currently have a team of Ecommerce Developers and Designers? If not, give us a call and let’s talk. We are based in Macau, China but support ecommerce websites worldwide.

Ecommerce Success – Happy Customers

When looking for Ecommerce Developers, check their website for a portfolio of their work or case studies of their previous work. This will give you a glimpse into their skills, talents and experience. Some may have worked on similar projects, others may not but maybe they are quite capable of doing so?

The next step is to decide which shopping cart you want to use. Choose carefully as this cart will be essential for the success of your online store. Options include Magento, Shopify, Bigcommerce, OpenCart, OSCommerce, X-Cart or a custom ecommerce solution. Make sure your developer is familiar with the shopping cart system you want.

Ecommerce Platforms

It is actually better if you first hire a company, let them understand your business, your industry and competition and then together decide which ecommerce platform is best for you. That way everyone is on the same page. Just because your friend raves about Shopify or Magento does not mean you should have the same cart. They all have their strengths and let your developer and you figure out what will be best for your shop.

Work closely with your ecommerce developers during the design and the function phases and test. It is better that you discover the bugs rather than your customers.

There are three factors to consider before you hire a design/development team for your ecommerce website: quality, price and time. If you want quality work to be done in a timely manner, you need to be prepared to pay well. And consider keeping your developer on your payroll for some time to do periodic updates and make any necessary changes.

When it comes to developing an ecommerce website, you need a team that is focused and experienced in providing companies with professional web design and developing ecommerce solutions.

At Interloper Inc., our roots are in E-Commerce and it continues to be the strongest part of our business. We ensure that your site is SEO ready, analytics and site map plugins are installed, payment and shipping integration is in place, and it has all the components necessary to conduct ecommerce in a safe and efficient manner.

For future maintenance also, you don’t have to advertise and spend precious time going over resumes. You just let us know and we provide the right resource. Your job gets done economically, without hassle and on time while you focus on doing what you do best – running your business.

20 Bollywood Movie Posters That Are Copied From Hollywood In The Name Of Inspiration

Celebrities

Jun 132018

The world of Bollywood is all about inspirations, rip-offs, and blatant copying. Over the last few years, B-town has effortlessly and shamelessly copied the content from global cinema time and again. Be it music, storyline, camera angle or poster, each and everything is just picked from a certain place and replaced with our popular faces. So much for originality, we must say.

The booming industry of Bollywood literally owes a lot of its inspiration to the West. Admiring someone’s work and getting inspired by it has always been the case but now makers have taken it to a whole new level. Such instances just make us wonder about the condition of Bollywood and for how long we can continue doing things like these.

When the poster of ‘Ra One’ or ‘Rowdy Rathore’ was launched, we couldn’t help but focus on the uncanny resemblance it shared with popular Hollywood flicks. But, for ages now, Bollywood has been copying posters without even considering the need to modify it a bit. Bringing you 20 such movie posters that are just “inspired” from Hollywood!
