Police Arrest Four Men Who Leaked Game of Thrones Episode 4 Proving That Piracy Doesn't Pay

Aug 162017

Our favourite show ‘Game of Thrones’ is back with its 7th season and so is our obsession for watching it before everyone else. To avoid spoilers and ruin it for everyone else, the fastest option seems to be the pirated and leaked versions floating online. Well, when half the world is watching it, why shouldn’t we, right? But, ever wondered what happens to the source who leaks it? They get arrested by the cyber cell before they can even get to see the ‘leaked episode 6′. If Monday wasn’t bad anyway, it turned worse for these four men who saw the real life White Walkers aka Mumbai police, walk into their lives and arrest them for leaking an episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ online.

Three employees of Prime Focus Technology and a former employee have been accused of leaking the show’s fourth episode online. Reportedly, the complaint was filed by the company. It processes the series for online streaming service Hotstar and a Mumbai court remanded them in police custody till August 21. Yes, we are talking about ‘The Spoils of War’ and apparently the leak of this episode was separate from the HBO hack that stirred a storm on the Internet.

The company that is said to have the season’s airing rights lodged a complaint after they found the low quality video of the episode on the internet, before the official airing. They caught hold of the culprits because they saw the channel’s watermark on it. According to Hindustan Times, the people accused are Bhaskar Joshi, Alok Sharma, Abhishek Ghadiyal and Mohammad Suhail. They have been booked under section 408, 34 of IPC for breach of trust with common intention and sections 43 and 66 of IT Act for penalty and compensation for damage to computer and computer-related offences.

‘Game of Thrones’ has already become the most pirated show on television and has compelled half of us to wait for the leak, more than the actual airing of any episode. While, we are losing our sh*t over the leaked episode 6, please beware before sharing anything because ‘cyber cell is coming’.

Jab Harry Met Sejal tickets sold for Rs 2,400 at this theatre

Celebrities

Aug 042017

JHMS-e-l It’s not an uncommon practice to raise the prices of tickets when a film, headlined by big stars, is gearing up for release. However, if you thought that it deterred the audience from flocking to the theatres, you couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Sample this: A ticket of Shah Rukh Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal, which releases today, has been priced at Rs 2,400 at PVR Director’s Cut in Delhi.

null

A quick online check will tell you that the amount is almost equivalent to a one-way air ticket from Mumbai to Goa.

But, looks like no price is too steep for Khan’s fans. The Imtiaz Ali-directed film saw a huge demand in advance booking at this theatre in Delhi. As a result, the love story raked in a whopping Rs 12,15,600 from this screen alone, even before it hit the marquee. At Rs 12.15 lakh, the movie has already matched the lifetime collections of indie films.

The situation isn’t too different in Mumbai either — another stronghold of Khan. A VIP/Gold Class ticket at PVR Icon in Versova has been priced at a cool Rs 1500.

Ask trade analyst Amod Mehra what drives the audience to pay such a high price to watch a movie and he reasons, “There haven’t been any good films in the recent past, which would have motivated the audience to spend money. So, people who have the money will not mind spending a huge amount on this one.”

Projects starring any one of the Khan trio — Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh — are mounted on huge budgets. No wonder then, the tickets rates shoot up during their film’s release.

However, Mehra points out that it is the distributors and not the producers, who are to be blamed for the hike. “The production cost of a film like Jab Harry Met Sejal is really high. So, to recover that cost, distributors tend to increase the rates.”

He cautions that it may not necessarily be a smart strategy. “On the contrary, I feel if they reduce the price, it will work as an advantage and will lure more people to watch the film.”

Another trade exhibitor, on the condition of anonymity, says, “Rs 2400 plus food and conveyance is really high. But then, the advance booking shows that people who wish to spend so much, have bought the tickets. I can get a premium membership of Netflix at the same price and watch so much of content. In the end, it’s all about what you choose.”

Nawazuddin Siddiqui: I have seen too much to fear failure

Celebrities

Jul 222017

He came to the city of dreams with Rs 2,500 in his pocket and an ambition to make it big in films.

But before giving him his due, Mumbai tested Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s patience so much so that the actor has now become fear-proof.

“I have already faced so much in my life. I have seen that time when I didn’t even have a single penny in my pocket.

And it stayed like that for two-three years. I used to have lunch at one friend’s place, dinner at other’s and a third friend would get cigarettes for me.

“I came to Mumbai with Rs 2,500. If I again face a situation where I am left with just Rs 2,500, I would not feel like a failure. I am not afraid of anything,” Nawaz told PTI. His first Bollywood break was a small role in Aamir Khan’s “Sarfarosh”. The 43-year-old actor continued featuring in blink-and-you-miss-it roles in various films till “Gangs of Wasseypur” came and changed his fate.

Nawaz says he thought about leaving Mumbai a lot during his struggling days but he somehow held on to his dream as going back was not an option for him.

“For 12 long years, I kept waiting but it was my choice. I chose to stay and keep trying. I was prepared to go through all the pain to achieve my dream of becoming an actor. There were times when I felt like leaving Mumbai.

“But I did not want to return to my village as people had already told me that I could not be an actor. Returning to Delhi was also not possible as my batchmates from NSD would have said, ‘Aagya tu bhi vapas’ (You are also back). These were my fears.”

From doing walk-on parts to finally being the star of his own films, life has taken a 180 degree turn for Nawaz, but the actor says he is still unaffected by the success he has achieved.

“After ‘Gangs…’ I have been continuously busy. I did not get time to sit and analyse my success or stardom. My priority is to act and not think about stardom.

“Of course, perception of people has changed towards me, but I am still the same. The only change in me is as a performer. I have grown in my craft,” he says.

Nawaz says earning money and fame is not his aim and hence fear of losing them does not bother him.

“It is not about money, but the experience I have gained during my journey, which matters to me. The experience of rejection and failure is priceless. These things have made me what I am today. Whatever I have today is much more than what I ever expected. I feel very secure in my space.”

The actor admits his focus is on doing good cinema and making sensible choices.

“I choose my projects as per my sensibility. I never pick films to prove that I am different or to show that I can do something which no one else can. Time tells you what to do in life,” he says.

The actor’s latest release “Munna Michael”, which also features Tiger Shroff and newcomer Nidhi Agerwal, hit the screens today.

Team ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ has been painting the town red with their promotions.

Ahead of the trailer launch, Shah Rukh Khan gifted Pritam a guitar. This is King Khan’s way of thanking him for the music of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. With the film’s tracks like ‘Radha’, ‘Beech Beech Mein’, ‘Safar’ and ‘Butterfly’, climbing the charts, SRK has a reason to cheer. King Khan is known to gift luxury cars, but for Pritam, he preferred a musical instrument to create many more melodious songs.

This Couple Had A Game Of Thrones-Themed Sangeet And It Was Lit AF

Celebrities

Jul 202017

The one thing we want in a life partner is a mutual love for the same web series and movies. Taking their love for ‘Game Of Thrones’ and for each other to a whole new level is this Mumbai-based couple Shaurya and Sanjana Mehta, who recently had a GOT-themed Sangeet ceremony in Udaipur. That’s right, the hardcore GOT fans had a sangeet ceremony with the show’s theme, replete with the house banners, dragon egg replicas, Valyrian swords and the Iron Throne!

The idea was first suggested as a joke when their families sat down to discuss themes for the wedding. But soon, it stuck. The groom Shaurya, who originally came up with the idea, says, “I first thought of it for the wedding and the very next thought of ‘The Red Wedding’ got me to choose it for the Cocktail / Sangeet.”

The couple made a grand entry as they were given a sword salute by relatives to the music of ‘Winds of Winter.

The Iron Throne looked formidable in the backdrop of a map of the seven kingdoms. “It was made over a week in Mumbai and then taken to Udaipur by a lorry. It remains a prized possession,” says Shaurya.

Giving dragon eggs as gifts is part of the Dothraki tradition.

We are digging these dragon-carved watermelons!

We wonder which house the bride and groom’s side chose to represent…

The most hated man in all of Westeros.

A wedding between House Lannister and House Targaryen?

That’s a wedding picture we’d love to get clicked!

All credit for planning and designing this spectacular wedding goes to Mumbai-based wedding designers, F5-Weddings. And the lovely photographs are by Reels and Frames.
