SARKAR RAJ
HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the International Indian Film Academy’s (IIFA) World Premiere of ‘Sarkar Raj’ this evening at the Siam Pavalai, Paragon Cineplex. Keeping up its tradition of showcasing some of the best Indian films to global audiences, the Ram Gopal Varma blockbuster stars the first family of Indian Cinema, thus multiplying the star quotient. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan deliver stunning performances that left the star studded audience spell bound.
‘Sarkar Raj’, set in rural India, follows the ambition of a young CEO, Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) who plans to bring a power plant to the village. Quick to realize its benefits, the insightful Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan) convinces Sarkar (Amitabh Bachchan) to gather support from the masses. What follows, is their fight against the obstacles they face in the political game that is triggered.
The background score of the film, earlier released in Mumbai, has proven to be an instant hit with fans. The mesmerizing ‘Govinda’ has captured audiences with its hypnotic beauty. ‘Sarkar Raj’ has undoubtedly won over the Bangkok audience, who appreciated the striking performances of the three Bachchans who have lent sound credibility to their roles.
Speaking at the IIFA World Premiere, Ram Gopal Varma, Sarkar Raj Director said, “Sarkar Raj is very special to me and I am happy that IIFA appreciates in distinctiveness by choosing it as the IIFA World Premiere.”
Sarkar Raj Sypnosis
When Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai - Bachchan), CEO of Sheppard power plant, an International company, brings a power plant proposal to set up in rural Maharashtra, before the Nagre’s, an insightful Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan) is quick to realize the benefits the power plant can bring to the people. After convincing Sarkar (Amitabh Bachchan) who is against it for various reasons, Shankar undertakes a journey along with Anita to the villages of Maharashtra to mobilize support of the masses.
However, things are not what they seem to be, Shankar’s dream project gradually becomes a political minefield, it is in this backdrop the evil forces mightier than ever, mushroom and gang up to bring down the regime of Sarkar and obliterate Shankar’s name from the political horizon.
MISSION ISTANBUL
One of IIFA’s chief aims is creating international relations through collaboration. The music of Mission Istaanbul is by T-Series. The music launched at the IIFA Weekend 2008 Bangkok, is a collaboration of four talented music directors Annu Mallik, Shameer Tandon, Mika, and the debutante Chirantan Bhatt. IIFA will proudly celebrate the likewise collaboration of Indian music director Annu Mallik with reputed Turkish singer Ege – who with his soulful sound has surely added a whole new dimension to the romantic track “Jo Gumshuda”. Annu Mallik’s well known romantic flair coupled with Ege’s soulful sound make this much interesting track with a whole new dimension. To keep going with the international act, Balaji Motion Pictures and Popcorn Motion Pictures have bought the rights of a popular acclaimed track “WORLD HOLD ON”, which incidentally has been remixed in thirty six different versions before, but this time over, Shameer Tandon has married Indian lyrics with Turkish sounds keeping the original track intact.
Yet the music of Mission Istaanbul remains faithful to Indian Cinema at the core with Mika’s song. This is a special part of the music album and is created around Viveik’s character, on the lines of the song of Apoorva’s earlier film ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’, the Aye Ganpat track. This song almost takes off from there and is expected to create waves much like its predecessor, and become the song for youngsters to groove to.
The young pulse is further fostered by Chirantan Bhatt, an upcoming music director who has rendered a very energetic and dynamic title track that encapsulates the upbeat attitude of the film. He has also come up with the sensational and foot tapping item song “NOBODY LIKE YOU”.
The music of Mission Istaanbul mirrors the fervor and vigor of IIFA complete with the relation-enhancing amalgamation of East and West thus rending a unique richness to its composition.
Mission Istanbul Sypnosis
Vikas Sagar would go anywhere for a scoop, risk his life and limb to get an exclusive story that nobody else can. It’s for this precise reason Vikas is a familiar face watched by six million viewer’s weeknights on TV-24. Ambitious, popular and professional, Vikas is considered one of the most promising journalists in the business.
It’s also the reason Owais Husain, a senior producer at the controversial Istanbul-based AL JOHARA, widely criticized as the mouthpiece of terrorists or as their network of choice, makes him an offer to head the channel’s proposed Indian bureau for an outrageous salary and other perks. It’s an offer he almost can’t refuse because of the channel’s controversial profile which ensures that it’s seen by everyone globally, including the White House. It certainly would take Vikas’s career to another level – not only does he become the highest paid journalist in India but also puts him on an international platform. But there is one condition that the head hunters from AL JOHARA insist – he must join ASAP and then fly to Istanbul for a three month orientation programme.
Their offer couldn’t have come at a better time for Vikas, who’s undergoing a painful divorce with wife Anjali, an equally feisty journalist whose desire to have a baby leads to their separation – because her husband wants her to wait a little longer and seems to be in no mood to start a family. While Al Johara dangles the temptation of kick-starting their India operations, Vikas accepts the offer largely to mend his broken heart.
But little does Vikas know that his life is about to change when he takes the flight to Istanbul on a three-month orientation program at the channel’s headquarters. While Al Johara is one of the most viewed channels in the world, its reputation has been largely built as the mouthpiece of a dreaded terrorist. Abu Nazir, who is on the most wanted lists of both the Interpol and FBI, is vociferous in his threat to wage war against several countries, including India. A threat he usually delivers via a videotape to Al Johara.
On the flight Vikas finds himself seated next to a stunningly beautiful co-passenger who hates flying. Lisa Lobo is headed for Istanbul to attend a medical convention – or so she claims. In her obvious discomfort, she turns to an amused Vikas for moral support and distraction from the reality of being airborne. It’s a budding friendship that’s grounded the moment the flight lands and Lisa disappears at the airport.
Once in Istanbul, Vikas’s initial impression of AL JOHARA is in sharp contrast to its notorious reputation. Especially when he meets the charismatic Ghazni, who has business interests all over the world but whose obsession these days is AL JOHARA as an instrument to shape world events. There is only one word of caution to Vikas and that’s never ever to venture onto the 13th floor known as the Catacomb.
As part of his orientation, Vikas gets hands-on experience in the AL JOHARA newsroom where he watches ghastly and exclusive news reports of terrorism. He learns more about Abu Nazir, who is described as “a one-man organization whose existence revolves around a single person.” Vikas is told that it is extremely difficult to find out any details about his private life and his habits because such information would help the secret services who are looking for him. “Abu Nazir is cautious to the point of paranoia.”
Reeling under the impact of the reality bytes at work, Vikas’s only relief is his flirtatious encounters with Lisa and the lively company of soldier-turned-journalist Owais Husain who is looking forward to quitting his job and settling down with his Irish girlfriend.
But on an assignment to cover kidnapped journalists in one of Abu Nazir’s terrorist camps in Afghanistan, Vikas is shocked when Abu Nazir’s brother, Khalil, brutally executes Owais Hussain just before a UN peacekeeping force mounts a rescue operation.
Reeling at this close encounter with terrorism and watching a brutal killing, Vikas returns to Istanbul in a daze and is approached by a former Turkish commando, Rizwan Khan, who hints that no senior employee has ever quit AL JOHARA and rattles off a list of AL JOHARA employees who had been killed in terrorist attacks within days of there being of rumours of their plans to quit or their resumes circulating in the job market! Vikas is quickly reminded of Owais Husain expressing the same to him. The stranger poses a few more questions about AL JOHARA – like why Abu Nazir speaks only to AL JOHARA – and leaves quietly.
Vikas discreetly runs a check on the names rattled off by Rizwan and discovers he was indeed telling the truth. Five AL JOHARA staffers before Owais Husain had either died in a car bomb explosion, abducted and killed or simply found dead. It sends a chill through Vikas’s spine. He slowly notices that not everything is as simple as they look in the offices of AL JOHARA, especially when he seems to bump into strangers whose faces he soon recognizes as suicide bombers in a couple of terrorist attacks. The deeper Vikas digs into AL JOHARA’s history and operations, the more questions crop up in his mind. And then he makes the cardinal mistake of straying onto the 13th floor.
Soon Vikas realizes that all is not what it seems and that he can’t trust anyone – not even Lisa! As he is tortured for straying onto the 13th floor, double crossed by Lisa and watches wife Anjali narrowly surviving a suicide bomb attack in Srinagar, Vikas has no choice but to ally with Rizwan after he makes a shocking revelation that Abu Nazir is dead but being kept alive by AL JOHARA through videotapes by using digital images of the terrorist and doctoring old footage.
Thereafter Vikas Sagar finds himself creating news rather than reporting it as he steals the secrets locked away on Al Johara’s 13th floor, incurs Ghazni’s wrath and becomes a man on the run – wanted by Turkish cops, terrorists, the CIA and Lisa Lobo!
From wielding a mike before a television camera, he is forced to wield a gun and join Rizwan in a bloody mission against international terrorism.
ACID FACTORY
This film features Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, Manoj Bajpai, Aftab Shivdassani, Danny Denzongpa, Irfan Khan & Gulshan Grover. Acid Factory is a thriller with loads of action. It’s maker Sanjay Gupta, is a prolific writer-director known for his dark and highly stylised films that stand out from the usual Bollywood fare with films like Kante, Musafir, Zinda and Dus Kahaniya to his credit. The film, which goes on floors from May 19, is being produced by Gupta’s White Feather Films. Suparn Verma, who made his directorial debut with “Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena”, will be at the helm of the project.
Mr. Sanjay Gupta, producer of Acid factory says, “Acid factory is a stylish film with loads of substance and a screenplay to die for. It is going to be a never seen before extravaganza of action and entertainment. Acid factory is a place where the film revolves. It won’t be wrong if I said that ‘Acid factory’ is a character among all other actors. The film is a thriller with loads of action where the identity of every character is kept secret and every character is suspicious of the other.”
Acid Factory Sypnosis
Our memory is the source of all emotions. It is also the source of our guilt.
What if a killer would wake up one day with his memory erased?
Would his crimes cease to exist?
What if an innocent wakes up one day with his memory erased and perceives himself to be a criminal?
Would that change his perception of reality?
Faltering memory continually alters the constancy of truth. Short term memory loss denies you of an identity throwing you into an abyss of excruciating agony.
Acid Factory is about a group of characters whose sense of past has vanished in a haze of coma like sleep they have woken up from only to discover that reality could be a figment of their imagination.
Their sense of right or wrong is heightened by this state of complete distrust and self righteousness.
As the story reveals through the hazy mist of confusion confounded by loss of memory, the audience is just shown the tip of the iceberg.
A high octane thriller where every second counts and every flash of your past is either a step towards realization of the true self or the horror of the discovery of who you really are.
And then the games begin as our characters start to create stories just so that they can stay in the right but what if a roomful of people realize the majority is evil? Wouldn't your instinct of survival dictate you to renounce yourself to evil to survive? Acid Factory plays out as a thriller, a morality play on the inside and a cat and mouse chase on the outside. This purports to be a mother of a thriller which will have you on the edge of your seat and in most probability rooting for the wrong guy.
