Jagga Jasoos misses overseas release

Jul 132017

There is more disheartening news for the already delayed “Jagaa Jasoos”. Due to last minute post-production activities, the film missed its release in the UAE, Dubai and Singapore on Thursday.

But the good news is that the film makes it for its Friday release in the nick of time.

The film’s co-producer Bimal Parekh admits there has been a costly delay.

“We could not open in UAE , Dubai and Singapore on Thursday morning. We had a choice of opening with the evening shows. But we decided against it. Rather than taking a risk (with the release), we decided to open on Friday along with all the other centres in India and overseas.”

Normally films open in the UAE and Dubai on Thursday.

Parekh says they could manage the worldwide distribution of Jagga Jasoos on schedule in spite of the delayed “delivery” of prints only because of the producer Disney’s international reach.

“If it wasn’t for Disney’s marketing I don’t know what we would have done,” Parekh shudders.

Also, I have to say it. Tom Holland is a cool kid. And ‘Spiderman: Homecoming’ might be exactly the kind of redemption the franchise needs for the webbed superhero.

And till we’re waiting to see how much good Holland does to the role, we’ll take this one for now.

There are mashups and then there are mashups. Satvik B is a musician from Singapore whose latest cover of 3 songs – SoMo’s ‘Ride’, ‘Raabta’, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s beautiful classic ‘Sannu Ek Pal’ — is sheer magic. Satvik transitions effortlessly between these three of our favourite songs and by the end of the video, you have teleported back to the teenage years of first love.

While Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s original ‘Sannu Ek Pal’ still remains the best version of the song that can be,

we like this version for its refreshing new voice.

Also, while you’re at it, here’s a Bollywood medley by the singer that’s worth listening to:

This is the reason why I get out of the city on my birthday, When I was a bus conductor, I used to drink a lot due to peer pressure. When I entered films, the problem got worse, and coupled with long working hours, led me into depression. After my marriage to Latha, I cut back on drinking, but continued to smoke too much. My lungs and kidneys got affected and I had to be treated in Singapore. Now, for the past two months, I’ve been hale and hearty. That’s why I’m asking you to stop smoking.” Requested Rajinikanth in his speech.
