Smoking scenes on TV to be classified as 'A' - July 29, 2007

Health Minister A Ramadoss can find some support from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry in his efforts to curb smoking, as the draft content code of I&B Ministry proposes to classify TV broadcast of smoking under category 'A'.

The draft content code not only proposes to to classify TV broadcast of smoking, use of illegal drugs, tobacco and consumption of alcohol on television under the 'A' category but also plans to restrict TV channels from stereotyping women as passive or submissive so as to promote or glorify their subordinate or secondary role in the society.

It also proposes to allow screening of adult programmes only between 11 pm to 4 am.

With this, the glorification of women's submissiveness and sacrifices for the their families would now become a thing of the past.

The guidelines prohibits portrayal of women as primarily driven by sexual impulses or the female body or form as an object of sexual exploitation.

The content code entails that smoking or alcohol consumption can be shown under the 'A' category "only if it does not glamorise use or misuse of such products and omit to highlight the ill-effects on personal health or criminal tendencies.

According to the code, depiction of use and details of production of such products shall not be a part of any programme classified as 'U' and 'U/A', while song and dance sequences highlighting such activities will not be allowed in programmes meant for family viewing.

It, however, said depiction of public health messages or programmes on de-addiction shall not be governed by above restrictions.

As per the code, which will be a part of the Broadcasting Bill to be introduced during the monsoon session of Parliament, Broadcaster Service Providers (BSP) have been given time till August five to give their comments.

However, the broadcasters are against any government's interference on the content matters as they are self regulated an have asked for more time to respond on the Broadcasting Bill and the content code.

Bollywood to fetch $213 mn in overseas market

Indian movies are gaining popularity in the overseas market and are expected to fetch Rs 8.5 billion ($213 million, euro156 million) this year, an Indian minister said on Wednesday.

The market is growing by 18 percent annually, mainly because of the growing Indian diaspora around the world, Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi said in a statement in India's Parliament.

Indian movies are popular in Europe, North America, Japan and even in China, he said.

Latin America is also considered a new market. The mainstream cable companies in the United States have started a ``Video on Demand'' for Indian films, the minister said.

Though movies are produced in more than a dozen Indian languages, Bollywood is the name given to the popular Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry. Indian movies are generally musicals with songs and dances, love triangles, comedy and daredevil thrills.

The overseas market for Indian movies was estimated around 7 billion rupees (US$175 million, euro128.07 million) in 2006, according to a report by the PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The Indian government is promoting Indian films through participation in foreign film festivals. Also, India has signed audiovisual co-production agreements with Italy, Britain, Brazil and Germany to expand revenues and markets for the Indian film industry, the minister said.

Remakes fail to create magic at box office

On one hand remakes have squashed at the box office, Ramu Ki Aag and Kamal Sadannah's Victoria no 203 being classic examples on the other hand audiences have given a thumbs up to comedies like Heyy Babyy and Dhamaal.

Here's a lesson the filmmakers seem reluctant to learn remakes and rehashes just don't seem to cut it.

Don and Devdas are the only exceptions to this floundering film genre.

Umrao Jaan sank with barely a trace, Victoria No 203 much the same and as for Ramu's answer to Sholay perhaps the less said the better.

"I personally feel that remakes shouldn't be made. Some classics should remain untouched they shouldn't be tampered with," said Vyjayantimala, actress.

So when fresh material is working why this dedication to tales already told- and told well.

"If one speaks logically then there are only seven scripts which exist in the world, which unfortunately have already been made so we have no other choice left but to make a remake," said Anant Mahadevan, Director, Victoria 203.

August 31 proved to be the Friday, which film buffs curse till today for not only was it the day of Ramu Ki Aag's release but also the remake of 1972 blockbuster Victoria No 203.

The two movies could manage a total of only Rs 1.2 crore across cities.

JP Dutta's attempt at recreating the magic of 1981 Rekha starrer Umrao Jaan proved to be an even bigger fiasco, doesn't matter if it had none other than the very hot couple Aishwarya and Abhishek romancing each other.

And why rehash an old masterpiece at all here's an excuse the director chose to give. So why not leave alone another Devdas or a Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam.

Comic capers welcomed

For comic capers on the hand are being welcomed with open arms and why not when wholesome entertainment is what the viewers go to cinemas for.

The resounding success of Partner, Heyy Babyy and Dhamaal even the critical acclaim for an off beat film like Bheja Fry seem to prove only one thing that comedy is king at the moment.

"I loved the film. It is quite nice," said a film buff after watching Heyy Babyy.

"I just want to thank all my fans for making my film a success. I promise I'll get more Dhamaal for you in the future," said Sanjay Dutt, actor.

"Everyone just loved the film and it's always nice when people come to you and say we loved it," said Arshad Warsi, actor.

Of course it's ironic that all the comic laughs are actually also based on Hollywood films. So perhaps it's only when we plagiarise our own plots that things get sticky.

One thing is clear in an industry where trends and audience tastes are hard to predict the message from the audience is clear we love those laughs.

Yes I copy: Ram Gopal Varma

His last two films may have been trashed for being poor imitations of "Sholay" and "What Lies Beneath", but Ram Gopal Varma confesses rather defiantly that he copies - "from everywhere"!

"I copy from Hollywood films. Not only from Hollywood I also copy from Tollywood, Kollywood... in fact from everywhere. These days I am copying from news channels as I am zapped by their speed," said the man whose last two films "Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag" and "Darling" were super duds in the box office.

"When we are born, we are born with a blank mind and every idea is actually copied from a book, a film... or somewhere," Varma told philosophically during a recent visit to Delhi.

Though he hasn't delivered any big hit recently, Varma has memorable films like "Rangeela", "Satya", "Company" and "Sarkar" under his belt.

He is also the man to have introduced many new talents - the list includes Manoj Bajpai, Rajpal Yadav, Isha Koppiker and Randeep Hooda, all of whom were struggling till they were recognised after working in his films.

Some of his protégés', however, like Mohit Ahlawat whom he launched in "James", have blamed him for messing up their careers. But the maverick director is undeterred and says these outbursts are outcomes of their over expectations.

"If they say so they must be having some reason behind it. Actually, newcomers have a lot of expectations. When I launch them, I build their confidence to take the best out of them. They take me for granted and blame me against those who never gave them a chance," he said.

Other than Manoj and Rajpal Yadav, none of the actors launched by him has been able to leave a lasting mark in the Hindi film industry. The filmmaker believes success depends on an actor's individual effort.

"Success belongs to them. I don't pitch them to make them successful. Their potential remains the same, it is just that they have to work hard and groom themselves with time".

If Varma doesn't shoulder the responsibility of his protégés' failure, he doesn't take credit for their success either: "I just boost their confidence and they do the rest themselves".

In "Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag", the director launched Prashant Raj, a model. Though critics have slammed the performance, Varma says he is satisfied by Prashant's work and dismisses the belief that working with newcomers is a strenuous job.

"Most of the time, newcomers are more prepared than veteran actors. They do their homework properly and then come on the sets while established actors are too busy to rehearse before they come for shooting."

Varma's forthcoming films include "Sarkar 2", "Go" and "Dheyaya".

Eklavya is India's official entry to Oscars

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's violent family saga Eklavya - The Royal Guard has been nominated as India’s official entry to the to the Oscars.

The film, which marked Chopra's return to direction after Mission Kashmir seven years ago, had a power cast of Amitabh Bachchan - playing the title role - Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan, Jackie Shroff, Boman Irani, Jimmy Shergill, Raima Sen and Sharmila Tagore.

This is the third time Chopra will be going to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

His short non-fiction film, An Encounter with Faces was one of the first Indian films to be nominated for an Oscar in 1980. In 1989, Parinda was sent to the Oscars as India’s official entry.

“I’m elated by the news. But this was only the first battle. The real one is still ahead. I’m leaving for the US on 2nd October and will start my groundwork there. I’m banking on my previous experiences at the Academy and the overwhelming support the film has received in the West. I hope to make India proud,” Chopra was quoted as saying in an official release.

Eklavya’s music is composed by Shantanu Moitra, who provided an eclectic score after the resounding success of Parineeta and Lage Raho Munnabhai

A contemporary action thriller, the film revolves around Eklavya (Amitabh), the loyal guardian of a royal dynasty whose duty is to protect the erstwhile royal family in Devigarh, Rajasthan.

The other characters include Prince Harshwardhan (Saif), an irreverent police inspector (Sanjay), the king's scheming brother (Jackie), his son (Jimmy) and the prince's childhood love (Vidya).

What follows is a story of deceit, revenge, drama and action.

Set in contemporary India, the film has a special resonance for today's world, beleaguered by hate and violence borne of fanatic belief.

'Om Shanti Om' hysteria builds up in Germany

Although more than a month remains for Shah Rukh Khan’s movie Om Shanti Om to hit the theatres, hysteria is building over the film in Germany.

Shah Rukh Khan has a substantially large fan base in Germany, even though the fans there may not understand a word of Hindi. The dubbed version of his home production Main Hoon Na was very well received in Germany.

And now, SRK fans in Germany are eagerly awaiting ‘Om Shanti Om’. As many as ten thousand fans have reportedly sent a petition to the director of the Berlin Film Festival, requesting the screening of ‘OSO’ in the next fest.

A media report quotes the movie’s director Farah Khan as saying that the movie’s official website has got at least two lakh hits and posts from Germany, France, Russia, Austria and Poland.

Responding to the demand, decision has already been taken to release ‘OSO’ in Germany alongside its worldwide release on November 9. So there won’t be any need to screen the film at Berlin Film Fest because the fest comes in February 2008.

On the other hand, Farah Khan has reportedly asked the film’s distributors, Eros International, to release the movie in Russia as well to tap a wider market.

Apart from this, a German magazine called Rapid Eye is coming up with a book on the making of ‘OSO’, media reports say.

‘Om Shanti Om’ is set in two time periods – 1970s and year 2007. The movie has SRK playing a junior artist in 1977 who falls in love with a famous heroine. But their love remains unfulfilled. The second part of the film shows SRK reincarnated as a superstar in 2007.

‘OSO’ introduces newcomer Deepika Padukone as SRK’s heroine.

Rajkumar Santoshi to make a film based on Dr Asghar Wajahat's book Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya…

Rajkumar Santoshi is all set to make a film on based on Dr Asghar Wajahat's book Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya, O Jamian He Nahin. The story of partition has been adapted into a play and staged over 500 times.

Our source informs, "Rajkumar Santoshi has bought the rights of Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya... from Dr Asghar Wajahat. In fact Santoshi has had several meetings with the author. Dr Wajahat found that he and Santoshi had a lot in common and felt that it was an apt time to make a film on Jis Lahore… considering the crisis that Pakistan is going through right now."

When contacted, Rajkumar Santoshi confirms his plans to make a film based on Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya... He says, "I read the book and was impressed by it. I got in touch with the Dr. Asghar Wajahat. I also watched the play directed by Dinesh."

Santoshi said that Jis Lahore… was a play that the audience could connect with emotionally. "The characters are common people like you and me. And that is what makes it so easy to relate to. I told Asghar that I wanted to make it into a film and bought the rights from him. In fact, Asghar and I have jointly written the screenplay. It will hit the floors once I complete my films, Ashoka and Ramayan."

Asghar Wajahat is thrilled at the prospect of seeing his story on screen. He says, "Plays have their limitations while a film can reach an audience all over the world. Also a film makes more impact than a play. My story puts across a strong message of peaceful co-existence that is desperately needed today."

Talking about his meeting with Santoshi, Wajahat says, "Santoshi and I bonded very well and we agreed on the basic concept of the story. We also shared similar points of view about issues concerning India and Pakistan."

Hab das hier mal gepostet für den Fall das Santoshi's Lieblingsschauspieler hier zum Einsatz kommt! 1lustig18

Santoshi's 'bookish' plans
Monday, December 31, 2007 16:27 [IST]

Filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi would be making a film based on Dr Asghar Wajahat's book ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya, O Jamian He Nahin’.

The book, whose story is based on partition has a strong message of peaceful co-existence and has already been adapted into a successful play, having completed many shows.

Santoshi, who in the past has given us hard-hitting films like Ghayal, Ghatak, Damini and The Legend of Bhagat Singh apparently, had meetings with Dr Asghar Wajahat to discuss his plans, as he was really impressed by the book.

The movie would start rolling once Santoshi is done with his other big budget films like Ashoka and Ramayana.

Meanwhile Santoshi’s next release Halla Bol starring Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan and Pankaj Kapur in lead roles releases on Jan 11 next year.

Berliner Zeitung, 06.02.2008; Eva Dorothée Schmid

Der Berlinale-Vorverkauf hat begonnen. Am schnellsten waren die Karten für Shah Rukh Khan weg

Sie sind um vier Uhr morgens in die Potsdamer Platz Arkaden gepilgert, haben sechs Stunden darauf gewartet, dass die Ticketschalter für die Berlinale-Karten um 10 Uhr öffnen, und sie waren auf Platz vier der Schlange, die bis zu den Eingangstüren des Einkaufszentrums reichte. Und dann das: Der Film, für dessen Deutschlandpremiere die Schwestern Isabelle und Desirée Gruner aus Hohenschönhausen Karten kaufen wollten - ausverkauft. An zwölf Kassen, nach nur fünf Minuten.

"Om Shanti Om" heißt die Produktion, Hauptdarsteller ist Shah Rukh Khan, Indiens erfolgreichster Filmschauspieler. In seiner Heimat wird der Mann verehrt, und offensichtlich hat der 42-jährige Bollywood-Star auch in Deutschland zahlreiche Fans. Isabelle Gruner erzählt, dass fast alle, die vor ihr in der Schlange standen, Khan-Fans waren. Viele seien selbst von außerhalb angereist, um Eintrittskarten zu bekommen. Bisher war Indiens Superstar, den weltweit mehr Menschen kennen sollen als Tom Cruise, nur in Baden-Baden und in Düsseldorf. Am Freitag wird er erstmals in Berlin erwartet.

Michael Grimm, Leiter des Berlinale-Kartenbüros, sagt, so schnell wie "Om Shanti Om" sei noch kein Film ausverkauft gewesen. "Das ist schon sensationell." Dabei hat er sich schon gedacht, dass die Premierenkarten für das Melodram schnell weggehen. "Seit Wochen werden wir von Fanclubs mit Anrufen und E-Mails bombardiert." 20 000 Anfragen hat es gegeben, deshalb haben die Berlinale-Veranstalter auf ihre Internetseite extra Informationen zum Besuch von Shah Rukh Khan gestellt.

Grimm will sich gar nicht ausmalen, was am Freitag vor dem Kino International los sein wird. Dort nämlich feiert der Film um 20.30 Uhr seine Deutschlandpremiere - in Anwesenheit des Meisters selbst. "Bei der Premiere im November in London musste ein ganzer Stadtteil abgesperrt werden", sagt Grimm. Die 28-jährige Isabelle und die 33-jährige Desirée Gruner jedenfalls werden auch ohne Kinokarten an den roten Teppich kommen. Den Film schauen sie sich dann in der Wiederholung um 22.30 Uhr im Kino Babylon an. Außerdem haben die Schwestern Tickets für eine Diskussion mit Shah Rukh Khan ergattert. Am Sonntag wird der Inder im Rahmen des Berlinale Talent Campus mit den Schauspielerinnen Maria Schrader und Kate Henshaw-Nuttall über das Verhältnis von Kino, Wirklichkeit und Liebesgeschichten diskutieren. Henshaw-Nuttall gilt als Star von Nollywood. Dies ist der Markenname für Filme aus Nigeria.

Neben Bollywood-Fans trafen sich gestern auf dem roten Teppich vor den Kassen in den Potsdamer Platz Arkaden auch eingefleischte Berlinale-Freaks wie der 40-jährige Holger aus Friedrichshain (seinen Nachnamen wollte er nicht nennen) und Nicole Lindner aus München. Für beide ist das Schlangestehen seit Jahren Ritual, "ein genauso wichtiger Teil der Berlinale wie die Filme", sagt Holger. Sie sind gegen 7 Uhr gekommen und schätzen die soziale Komponente des gemeinsamen Wartens. "Man trifft alte Bekannte", sagt Lindner, und Holger fügt hinzu, das Schöne sei, sich mit anderen über Filme auszutauschen. Karten via Internet zu kaufen, komme nicht in Frage. Das sei auch teurer und reines Lottospiel. Die Schlange ist da berechenbarer. Man sieht, wie viele vor einem stehen.

Mehru Jaffer - 5/12/2008

Vienna, May 12 (IANS) When Naseem B. Khan stepped out of the university campus with a degree in business management, he was delighted to discover that Germany was bonkers about Bollywood.

It did not take long for this German born of Gujarati parents to combine his own love for Indian cinema with an adventurous career in publishing.

Wasting little time on "ifs and buts", Khan founded the Ishq Publishing Group in Dinslaken, an industrial town near Dusseldorf and in 2006 launched a Bollywood lifestyle magazine with the same name in the German language. At first he printed 5,000 copies of Ishq and today he rolls out 30,000 copies per month.

This is a daring venture in Germany, a country of about 82.5 million people and 33 million households, out of which 98 percent have at least one television set. Together with Austria and the German speaking part of Switzerland, about 100 million people make up the German language space.

Khan, who looks more like a film star than a publisher, spoke to IANS about the craving here for literature on different aspects of Bollywood like the biographies of stars in the German language.

Germany boasts of a buoyant magazine sector with nearly 900 general magazines and over a thousand specialised periodicals already in the market and is second only to Britain where more books are sold than anywhere else.

Khan's calculation was simple. He studied surveys that said three million people watched the first Bollywood film aired on the small screen by RTL II, a German entertainment channel in 2004.

The Hindi blockbuster "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum" was screened at prime time and the response was so encouraging that RTL scheduled "Kal Ho Naa Ho", "Main Hoon Na" and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" soon after. Overnight Shah Rukh Khan, who stars in all these films, became a household name here.

As pay back to viewers, Bollywood films were dubbed into German for the next set of screenings. With the irritant of subtitles eliminated, the numbers of the ever-growing community of fans naturally increased.

German audiences once exposed to Bollywood wanted to know more about the people they loved to see on screen. Fans wanted to dress like their favourite stars and eat similar food as them.

What Ishq does is to facilitate German fans to follow an entire lifestyle as popularised by Bollywood. Apart from reviews and information about the release of new films and interviews with stars, Ishq carries features on how to sew your own salwar-kameez. It gives addresses of Bollywood dance classes, where to learn Hindustani and how to toss a bean sprout salad to get that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan glow.

The latest issue of the magazine has a stunning shot of Kajol from her latest film "U Me Aur Hum" on the cover and also a feature on Hinduism and a temple in Germany.

"Subscriptions are steadily on the rise, especially now that we are able to promote Ishq with 'The Merchants of Bollywood' stage show that has just completed its third tour of Europe," Julia Wessel, editor in chief, told IANS.

For the moment Khan is busy promoting Ishq and travelling to several German-speaking parts of Europe, including Austria, where 'The Merchants of Bollywood' is hugely popular. While in Vienna, Khan set up a stall at the Stadhalle, the premises where the song and dance bonanza was performed to introduce Ishq to Vienna and to talk to fans here.

Ishq may still have a long way to go before it catches up with Der Spiegel, Germany's most popular magazine with the highest circulation in Europe that sells one million copies every week. But the dream that it could get there is what keeps Khan going.

Filmfare Magazine, arguably India's favourite Bollywood magazine, is now available in a German edition. The first issue in June is already a sell-out. At first the magazine will be sold monthly but it is hoped that it will soon develop a fortnightly cycle.

The editor of the German edition is Seweta Ahmadi of Media Offenbach Main. The magazine will be available through Indian stores and also through online subscription and download. It is very reasonably priced at 3.50 euros.

This is not the first time a Bollywood magazine has launched in Germany. Stardust tried an edition two years ago but it didn't succeed and a German company also failed with Bollywood Rapid Eye Magazine.

However, times have changed and the prognosis for Filmfare is better as customers switch more to online purchase and downloads which carries lower cost and risk for the publisher. Perhaps now would be a good time for Filmfare to launch in the UK as well.
