Shiamak Davar Accused For Sexual Abuse

Choreographer Shiamak Davar has been accused for sexual abuse by his former dance students Percy Shroff and Jimmy Mistry. However, the choreographer denies the allegations.

Percy and Jimmy from North Vancouver, say they suffered years of unwanted sexual touching at the hands of Shiamak, who they say, abused his authority as their spiritual leader to control all aspects of their lives.

They have said that the choreographer is a sexually abusive and controlling leader of a VRRP Spiritual Learning group. Two lawsuits have been filed in the Canadian province of British Columbia Supreme Court.

Denying the allegations, Shiamak said, "I’m shocked by these allegations and deny them completely. I will not be intimidated into silence and will defend myself vigorously in court."

"Even though I’m extremely anxious to speak the truth, I have been advised not to do so publicly by my lawyer, David Crossin, as this matter is now before the court,” He added

He further said, "It is a privilege and honour for me to continue the work of my spiritual teacher, Khorshed Bhavnagri".

VRRP follows the teachings of Bhavnagari, who wrote ‘The Laws of the Spirit World’.

"It is my position, as filed in my response, that these claims are being made by former members of VRRP Spiritual Learning to simply smear Mrs. Bhavnagri’s good name and her wonderful book ‘The Laws of the Spirit World’. I would like members of VRRP Spiritual Learning to be rest assured that I will continue to serve the book and its teachings,” Shiamak said.

A Case Against Aamir For Killing Chinkara Quashed

On Friday, the Gujarat High Court quashed a criminal complaint against Aamir Khan and four others in a case of alleged shooting of Chinkara, in their film ‘Lagaan’ without permission from the concerned officials during the film’s shooting in 2000.

After the arguments, Acting Chief Justice VM Sahai quashed the criminal proceedings against Aamir khan, his ex-wife Reena Dutta, director Ashutosh Gowariker, executive director Srinivas Rao and cinematographer Ashok Mehta.

The lawyer who represented Aamir, said, “Except the movie there is no evidence that there has been killing of Chinkara. There has to be some legal evidence to book someone. Except a scene from the movie there is no proof in the complaint that Chinkara was shot.” 

“The entire allegation is based upon a scene of the film “Lagaan” which cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be said to be a legal evidence of possession of the animal in question viz Chinkara,” one of the previous court orders stated.

Pankaj Khandpar, ex creative director of Western Outdoor Media Technologies, in a statement stated, “The entire sequence was by way of special effects and that no real animals have ever been used

Because of the egos involved, a remake of Bride Wars planned a decade ago, with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra, never got made. Most A-List actresses are allergic to working with their professional equals. So, while Kangana Ranaut acted in Fashion mainlining PC early on in her career, now that they are on par, it has to be a parallel role or it isn’t happening. Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma acted in Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which happened firstly because it was a Yash Chopra film and secondly Anushka was not in Kat’s league at the time. Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla only recently worked together in Gulaab Gang, though they were offered several two-heroine films when they were at the top. The fact is most actresses prefer to act in solo-heroine films. However given the right project, the right filmmaker (Sanjay Bhansali, Karan Johar, etc) and carefully constructed contracts, they will agree to share the screen with a rival. This year and the next, expect to see a slew of such films....

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will share screen space in Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and the former has no qualms or apprehensions about the role. Karan Johar should get credit for this. He has a reputation of being a fair filmmaker. Neither Kajol, nor Rani had any complains after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Ditto for Rani and Preity in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Also, KJo is the new Yash Chopra. Every leading lady wants to act in his films, even if that means a two-heroine project.

Dil Dhadakne Do

PC made her debut in 2003 and was already among the top leading ladies when Anushka made her debut in 2008. Today, they are contemporaries. It was a casting coup of sorts when Zoya managed to cast Piggy Chops and Anushka together for Dil Dhadakne Do. While Anushka asserts that her role is smaller compared to Priyanka’s, she doesn’t mind the lesser screen time.

Bajirao Mastani

Priyanka, who did a item song in Deepika Padukone’s Ram-Leela will now be seen in a full-fledged role in Bajirao Mastani, where Deepika plays the title role. But this field is not level. It would be if Dips paired with Sonam/Alia/Parineeti/Sonakshi. And PeeCee with Kareena/Katrina.

Will Brands Still Associate With Salman Khan?

We all know that Salman Khan’s jail term has been suspended by High Court. But, one cannot forget that he was convicted by session court. So, the questions which have been raised are that will brands still associate with the superstar and will the brands survive.




We all know that Salman Khan’s jail term has been suspended by High Court. But, one cannot forget that he was convicted by session court. So, the questions which have been raised are that will brands still associate with the superstar and will the brands survive.

Ad guru Prahlad Kakkar said, “Brands will survive. (For those associated) There might a miniscule drop in sales, but the ad world has a rather short memory. If one ambassador doesn’t work out, there will always be a replacement. In rare cases few brands may approach him after his jail-stint, thanks to the publicity it will garner.”

Piyush Pandey of Ogilvy & Mather said, “No brand will want to be associated with a convicted person. When someone messes up in the public eye, brands drop them. This has happened in the case of Tiger Woods and Oscar Pistorius. The brands themselves won’t really get affected.”

Venkat Jagdish, Managing Director of OTS Advertising, said, “Salman and his PR team have managed to create quite an image in the public eye. His ‘Being Human’ might have started off as a clothing company, but it soon developed into a CSR activity of sorts. This created a good image of the star and that could be a reason why things might not get that bad for Salman. For brands to survive, they only need to disconnect themselves from an ambassador and hire a new one.”

“As far as buying goes, people may buy if they are fans of the ambassador or if they genuinely like the brand. Now, if a brand drops Salman, they might lose a few of his loyal fans as clients, but the majority of the sales will not be affected,” Ajeet Mestry, creative director of Star Sports said.

1st Day Early Box Office Collection Trends Of PIKU And KUCH KUCH LOCHA HAI

1ST DAY EARLY BOX OFFICE COLLECTION TRENDS OF PIKU AND KUCH KUCH LOCHA HAI
Thursday 7 May 23:44
It seems that ''Gabbar Is Back'' will also will be in mix and might challenge ''Piku'' and for sure will overpower Sunny Leone starrer in single screens.



PIKU Takes A Good Start, KUCH KUCH LOCHA HAI Struggles

Bollywood films have disappointed and no big films made impact in last 6 months except ''PK''. This year not a single mainstream masala Bollywood film worked and to make situation worse Hollywood biggies ''Fast & Furious 7'' and ''Avengers Age Of Ultron'' over-performed. Today two films ''Piku'' and ''Kuch Kuch Locha Hai'' are releasing of diverse genre.

''Piku'' is produced by Sony MSM and distributed by Yash Raj Films. Film released in 1600 - 1800 screens and it has opened to glowing reviews and decent occupancy. Film is solid in metros especially in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. Film has opening of 35% and it seems that with good word of mouth, film can score very good day one around 5 cr nett and it can go higher depending on evening shows.

''Kuch Kuch Locha Hai'' is another Sunny Leone starrer and has real bad reviews. Film released under 1000 screens and going by the competition at box office, film will find it tough to collect even 2 cr nett on day one. Film will be very lucky to reach this figure after poor performance of last Sunny Leone starrer ''Ek Paheli Leela''.

It seems that ''Gabbar Is Back'' will also will be in mix and might challenge ''Piku'' and for sure will overpower Sunny Leone starrer in single screens.

Director : Anil Chaudhary
Genre : Drama



KAAGAZ KE FOOLS Makes Fools Of Audience


Pluses:

hard to find

Minuses:

bad performances, amateur direction, pathetic screenplay, bad dialogues, shabby editing

Critic Rating:
0/5
 
Business Rating:
0/5

Verdict:

Watch it for any reason you can find

Dtailed Analysis:
 
All Vinay Pathak starrer films failed miserably at box office and now here comes one more badly made film without any marketing.

The film kicks off with a search operation by Dev (Saurabh Shukla) and Nikki (Mugdha Godse). This brother-sister duo are in search of Nikki's 'non-ambitious but honest' husband Purushottam Tripathi (Vinay Pathak), who leaves the house after a tiff with his nagging (but loveable) wife Nikki. While on one hand, Nikki's relatives help to reconcile her relationship with Purushottam, on the other hand, the couple's common friend lays his bets on them getting divorced. Caught in a whirlpool of relatives, friends and emotional turmoil, Purushottam lands up in a gambling den, where he drinks heavily and wins not just the money but also the company of a 'working woman' prostitute Rubina (Raima Sen). Despite all her attempts to seduce him, the 'patni-vratha' Purushottam refuses to give in to her advances. Seeing a 'truthful human' in her, he starts staying with her, but without any intimacy between them. On a professional front too, his life is in turmoil as his book 'Ek Thehri Si Zindagi' fails to find any publisher, which further adds to his frustration. One day, when Purushottam is totally out of control emotionally, he again lands up at the same gambling den. Lady Luck favors him to the core and he makes a killing, so much so that he even defeats the owner of the gambling den 'in his own game'. He, then, hands over all the winnings to Rubina asking her to fund her brother's education.

The next day, a series of incidents happen in quick succession that puts everyone including Purushottam in a tizzy. While on one hand, Purushottam gets kidnapped in broad daylight, on the other hand, someone renames his book from 'Ek Thehri Si Zindagi' to 'Ek Tharki Si Zindagi', which lands up being a Bestseller' in no time of its publishing. Who are the people responsible for Purushottam's kidnapping and what are their motives, who is responsible for the renaming of the book, do Purushottam and his wife ever make peace with each other or do they land up divorcing each other is what forms the rest of the story.

Performance wise not a single performer stands out as every actor including senior ones ham and ham throughout. Mughda Godse is pathetic, Raima Sen looks old, Saurabh Shukla has only one thing funny an artificial mustache and Vinay Pathek repeats himself in a really bad wig.

Film has cliche premise and screenplay lacks pace. Film has poor dialogues. Film has irritating background score. Art department is so so and editing is poor.

Director Anil Chaudhary fails in bringing out some kind of comedy and basic etiquette of direction as he has written real poor screenplay. Though climax is bad and lack of events make it a tiring watch for masses.

Film released today and should release across 200 screens. Film had no chances at box office as its a film with very niche appeal and average reviews will kill its chances further. Film will depend on exceptional word of mouth to survive as it has no great buzz or marketing awareness.

2nd Weekend Box Office Collection Of AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON

Film has total of 64.47 cr nett which is good total in 9 days and now film should jump today. Film will have lifetime business of under 75 cr nett which will be very good but not great. Film should had done 60 cr nett week one and 90 cr nett plus lifetime ideally going by the pre release buzz and recent performances of Hollywood films in India



AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON Had Average 2nd Weekend


Bollywood films have disappointed and no big films made impact in last 6 months except ''PK''. This year not a single mainstream masala Bollywood film worked and now ''Avengers Age Of Ultron'' is set to dominate Indian box office after stupendous performance of ''Fast & Furious 7''.

''Avengers'' opened to fantastic numbers of 70% and that was more than what anyone expected. Film will go only better from here onwards as there is no competition at box office. Film has got release in 1600 screens and that is 30% less than ''Fast & Furious 7'' but higher ticket prices plus more patronage in metros might even things out.

Film collected 10.98 cr nett which was be huge figure for a non holiday Hollywood opener and higher than any Bollywood opening day in 2015. Film lost at least 1-1.5 cr nett due to cancellation of morning shows due to technical issues. On day two again film was unlucky as it got affected by earthquake as cinemas were closed in larger part of north India but still it managed very good 11.85 cr nett.

Film had huge Sunday at box office and collected 13.17 cr nett which was big jump. Film dropped on Monday and collected 5.40 cr nett which was noticeable drop. Film added 4.60 cr nett on Tuesday, 3.90 cr nett on Wednesday and 3.75 cr nett on Thursday. Film dropped by 65% on 2nd Friday and collected 3.25 cr nett, 3.35 cr nett on 2nd Saturday and 4.05 cr nett on 2nd Sunday without any distinct jump.

Film has total of 64.47 cr nett which is good total in 9 days and now film should jump today. Film will have lifetime business of under 75 cr nett which will be very good but not great. Film should had done 60 cr nett week one and 90 cr nett plus lifetime ideally going by the pre release buzz and recent performances of Hollywood films in India.
