(India tour to cover Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai)
In wake of a gamut of events, initiatives and programmes to commemorate the 60th year of diplomatic ties between India and Germany, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra today commenced its India tour in Mumbai at the National Centre for the Performing Arts. The tour is part of the ongoing programme series "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities" which commenced in September this year. Many more such events and programmes are planned during the course of this series. Founded in 1945, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra has been at the top of the international orchestral scene for more than 65 years. As the world’s oldest professional chamber orchestra, it undoubtedly serves as a model for others and has therefore been selected as part of the cultural exchange under the ongoing India – Germany diplomatic ties commemoration. Having made its debut in India in the year 1956, the present tour is the orchestra’s fourth one, the third being in the year 2010. The Orchestra’s repeated performances are the result of continuous collaborations with event hosts in India who time and again welcome and support their concerts in the subcontinent. During its present chapter the orchestra will tour three cities in India – Mumbai on December 1 and 2, 2011, Bangalore on December 3, 2011 and Chennai on December 4, 2011. Sponsored by the Bosch and "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities", the Orchestra’s tour has a new feature. This feature is the ensemble’s association with an India Orchestra namely the Symphony Orchestra of India. One of the two-day performances at Mumbai will have the Symphony Orchestra of India performing along with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra. The Symphony Orchestra of India musicians will continue to perform with the ensemble at Bangalore and Chennai as well Founded in August 2006 by the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the Symphony Orchestra of India is the country‘s first fully professional symphony.orchestra. Despite recruiting musicians from the international field, the orchestra places great emphasis on developing musical potential within India itself. With 16 Indian players in the ensemble, it is based in Mumbai but tours nationally. The first concert in Mumbai will commence with an immortal, epoch-defining concerto grosso by two Baroque masters – Corelli and Handel, touch upon yet another Baroque genius – Vivaldi, progress into the Classical (Mozart), the Classical-Romantic (Hummel), the Romantic (Mendelssohn) periods and end with the works of archetypal, yet completely diverse modern composers – Shoshtakovitch and Britten. Bach, ever-beloved, omnipresent, indispensable, is celebrated, en route, with a Reger transcription of the chorale, “Oh Man, bewail your great sins” (on December 1) and by the rarely heard Concerto for three violins (on December 2). Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Sanjay Chakravarty, Head, Corporate Communications, Bosch Group India said “It is indeed an honour for Bosch to facilitate and be part of such cultural exchange, we hope to support and see many more of such initiatives.” The Chairman of the NCPA, Mr. Khushroo N. Suntook, says, “The NCPA, welcome back the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra. We are certain that this great ensemble will enthrall our audiences with fine musicianship.” As per Mr. Max Wagner, Managing Director of Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra,” We are the only western orchestra that tours India regularly. We hope that this tradition will go on for a long time. We are also thankful to NCPA, Bosch and the programme series "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities" for supporting us for this tour. This tour would have not been possible without their assistance.”

BEST WORKAR SHORT FILM MAKER

Suresh Shelakar , a SSC passed seemed to have made the right choice of education for the longest time in keeping with his ambition of becoming a BEST service person. This till he decided to venture into short filmmaking - a field completely different from the academic background he had pursued . " I was a top performer in School. No one , including my parents, expected me to take up short films, shares Suresh , whose very short film Birthday went on to outdo everybody's expectations with a nomination at different film festivals.
Suresh is not an expectation. His is, in fact' a case amongst a growing number of students from completely unrelated and unallied  academic qualifications entering the world of short films- as writers, directors, editors and a lot more- first as a hobby that translates into passion and in some cases, a full -time profession.
For many, their first encounter with short films is triggered by the need to explore new media of visual expression. Says Suresh , a BEST worker , " As BEST worker , we are always exploring new media of visual representation. It was then I realised that filmmaking is not very different from my work and decided to try hand at it. I've never stopped making short films after that!.
Not belonging to a film or devoid of a course in filmmaking does not seem to be a deterrent to those who wish to share a story on celluloid." Filmmaking is for anybody who understands it. The only advantage of attending a film school is that it shortens the time frame for learning and lets you network with like-minded people. Apart from that , nobody really cares what institute you come from as long as you can tell and sell your story. From an Indian perspective , self-learning and practical filmmaking is even more important as film school fees are very high.
Cinema has always excited the average Joe on the street. All of us have a story to tell. Earlier, not too many people could be a part of it due to lack of resources. Slowly, people are realising the power of short films, which by virtue of their dynamics allow many people to participate in the process. making a short film neither requires excessively developed technical skills nor sophisticated equipment. This work very well for students, even those pursuing different courses."
In a bollywood-obessed nation like ours, it is not surprising to know that many are also looking at short films as a sort of launchpad for feature films. Agrees Suresh , " Short filmmaking is seen as a stepping stone towards feature filmmaking by many people. As a director you may have to manage only one particular task but as a film maker you are expected to understand every aspent of filmmaking from handling the camera to writing, editing, mixing sound, etc , which is essentially what making short films teach you."
What ever the reasons, the popularity of short filmmaking among people seems to be a trend that is here to stay. If you find yourself being constantly distracted by the lure of telling a story, you know short films is calling too.

Mahurat of ENEMMY

Mithun Chakraborty, Sunil Shetty, Johny Lever director Ashu Trikha and Mahaakshay got together at Versova Village and Madh Island on the Mahurat of their film ENEMMY. Braving the sweltering heat, armed with nariyal pani and fruits, the team shot effortlessly in a small restaurant, at the waterfront and in the garden of Madh bungalow.

While 

Sunil Shetty admitted, “the script appealed to me,

“ Mahaakshay was happy that he was with such senior actors and it would give him a lot of learning, Johny Lever was excited about playing a cop “with a sense of humour and a heart.” Mithun da was present at the Madh bungalow watching the happenings with pride, this being his production venture. Said he, “Enemmy is not called so due to  numerology. It is named so after its six principal characters, Eklavya Karmarkar aka Bhau ( Suniel Shetty ), Naeem Shaikh {KK Menon}, Eric Collaco ( Johnny Lever ) and Madhav Sinha  aka Maddy ( Mahaakshay Chakraborty ), four daredevil CID officers, who can be relied upon whenever the city faces problems from the underworld,  a don responsible for mayhem -- Mukhtar Menon (Mahesh Manjrekar)  and  one CBI officer Yugantar Sharma (Mithun Chakraborty). Mithun da’s thought appealed to director Ashuu Trikha who went in for the title.

A hard day’s work was followed by the bonding of the actors, as the sun set on Madh Island. The coolness of the air went down quietly with large dahi kachoris, sandwiches and steaming cups of coffee. All in all a memorable Mahurat indeed.

Kashmera Shah beats up reality show Contestant!

It’s been quite some time Kashmera Shah has been done and over with Rakhi Sawant and Bigg Boss, but the gal still seems to have a strong hangover from the House of Scandal. While shooting her latest reality show Steal Ur Girlfriend for Channel [V], Kash, who anchors it in true-blue chick-flick style, actually beat up a contestant called Atirek Sharma.
Reason? “The guy just didn’t understand how to sweep a girl off her feet,” Kash snaps, as if justifying her actions.
Hitting Atirek Sharma on his head, Kash got so involved in the show’s proceedings that she started laughing an evil laughter while punching the poor guy who didn’t know whether to cry or get turned on as Kash was right on top of him. As the baffled contestant took a breather, she looked him in the eye, gave a wicked stare and ruffled his hair like a mischievous kid.
Gosh! What on earth was on Kash’s mind? Or she just lost it? When asked, she cattily winks and says she has always beaten up men in her life. “If you beat them up properly and lay them well, you can walk all over them all your life.” Huh!
Channel [V]’s synopsis of the show reads: ‘Kashmera plays an angel in disguise, helping out helpless lovers turn from zeroes to heroes and steal girlfriends of other guys!’
Yeah, that’s being naughty enough! But if this is Kash’s definition of being an ‘angel’ to the contestants, imagine what could happen, if Kash decides to play ‘devil’ for a change someday. Wonder if her smarty-pants boyfriend Krushna wants to say something here!!

Little Girl Trying To Play Mature in the film Na Jaane Kabse

Amrita Prakash has worked as a leading lady in the film Na Jaane Kabse.She is still the little girl trying to play mature and worldly wise in an adult world. “The beauty of youth is that it refuses to sit in one corner for too long and that it is not afraid of taking on stances. I can be innocent, coy and yet sensuous if required”, confesses Amrita who has earlier worked as Choti - Amrita Rao’s little sister in Rajshri Films Vivaah. inmovieznews reportor spokes to her:


“Post Vivaah, I indulged in the luxury of choice There was a constant up-gradation of my acting and dancing skills. I eventually chose Na Jaane Kabse primarily for the numerous dimensions and layers the role offered me. Yes, I can be a true Drama Queen in real life too”, she said.


You have travelled a long journey in glamour world. So how do you feel as your first film in lead role is releasing?


I started acting when I was 4years old. And from then to now the journey has been enriching. There have been no complaints since I have enjoyed it all along. But since the age of 4 I have been working towards a single goal- or as I call it- a single dream. And today having completed my first film as the lead actor I feel I have come a long way. It's one step closer towards realising my dream. This is a huge milestone for me. And it's what makes the over a decade long journey worth it.


How did you get NA JAANE KAB SE?


I got a call from Ms. Pammi Somal's office one day asking me to come down to her office regarding a film project. When I met her I was under the assumption that like all 'first meetings' this one too would involve a 15 minute general discussion that leaves you very uncertain. But when I got there she took a good look at me, asked me to sit down and gave me an entire narration of the film. Something which rarely happens. So I just thought there thinking- how is she telling me the whole story? Does this mean I'm in?


As she tells me now- she had seen me in Tum Bin when I was a kid, and decided then that she wanted me to work with her someday. And on seeing me that day almost 8years later- she knew I was her "Anjali".


Why did you accept the film? What was the thing that made you to accept the film?


One thing made me accept the film- Ms. Pammi Somal.
She was extremely passionate and confident about her product. She spoke of it like a mother speaking about her child- nurturing and protective. She had written the film herself, so she knew the heart and soul of it. Her vision was clear right from the beginning. And there was a non-filmy honesty about her that really appealed to me. She seemed to be making the film not because it was a business venture for her, but because she believed in the story. And that's the kind of work and the kind of people that I want to be associated with. When something comes from the heart, I think the possibilities are endless.


Tell us about your character in the film.


My character name in the film is "Anjali" who is also called "Drama Queen". Which I believe says a lot about her. She is a very real character. That's what I love most about her. She's the kind of girl that not only I, but every girl would individually be able to relate to. She is extremely talkative, full of life, with a live-for-the-moment attitude, a little naughty- a little innocent, and a crazy little thing bursting with energy. She's the kind who'd do anything in the name of fun. She's waiting to break free- and discover the adventures that life has to offer. It’s a dream role any newcomer would aspire to get as a launch pad.


How was your experience working with journalist turned director Pammi Somal?


She's an ace of all trades. I have nick named her "SuperWoman" and I tell her all the time that she hides her red cape from the world. Because it is impossible for one person to so effectively handle so many things at a time.


You have also worked in a Malayalam film. What difference you feel working in Hindi films and southern films?


I have worked in the Malayalam industry down south with a veteran director Mr. Kamal. And the reason I picked Malayalam cinema over any other was because Mall-films are purely story focused. It's not about the commercial aspects, or the glamour or the flamboyance- the films revolve around a severely strong and bound script. And that for me is like the Bible! That's the kind of work I most enjoy doing- something with challenges that require strong deliverance. Also, the technicians down South are very competent. It's no wonder we are constantly "importing" so many technicians into Bollywood from the South Indian industries.


TUM BIN to NA JAANE KAB SE…What change you feel in yourself as an actress?


It’s funny that you ask me this- because just last night I happened to chance upon Tum Bin playing on TV and I sat and watched the entire film from 12am to 3am after years!! And I was bursting with nostalgia and was in awe of the film. I only now at this age understand fully what a masterpiece it was.


As far as my performance goes- my first shock was when I saw my first shot on screen last night. I couldn't believe how tiny I was! But yes, there has been a very natural growth in terms of both personality and performance. Change is the way of life and I am glad to see a certain maturity that I believe has come about in my acting. I really think one learns with every single take and every single shot. Acting is a developing and progressive craft. You can't stop learning and there is no 'end'. There's only variation and modulation. Today I see myself trying something different with every take in a single scene. It's my exercise. And I hope to forever keep learning.


What is your dream role?


I'll quote an extract from a poem I once wrote-


"I want to learn, I want to explore...
I want to achieve, I want to soar.
I want it now, I want it all.
Every little glory, every little fall"
My dream role would be outgrowing the role of Chotti in Vivaah and graduating that role as a takeover to a lead role with Rajshri Films. Sooraj-ji is a Maverick. He has always been someone I have looked up to especially ever since I worked with him. He is so humble, patient and yet a perfectionist. I am sure I will be working with them as a lead heroine in the near future..


You could call me ambitious. Or greedy. But the bottom line is I am here to challenge myself and open new avenues. I want to be a part of something that pushes my boundaries and helps me convert my weak points into my strong ones.


What next?

Next..... Is a very interesting thriller that I'm working on. I'm extremely excited about it because there's a huge risk element involved. For one the thriller genre isn't known to do phenomenally well in India. And secondly because this film is very experimental in its nature- both content wise as well as the treatment! It’s not tried and tested. And it's not seen before! And I can't wait for it to hit the screens. This one is meant to shock! Plus- it's something I haven't done before!
