First Look : Soundtrack and Tell Me O Kkhuda (Trailer)
Posted: August 12, 2011 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast & crew, film, first look, TrailerTags: Arjan Bajwa, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Dharmendra, Esha Deol, first look, Hema Malini, Mrinalini Sharma, Neerav Ghosh, Rajeev Khandelwal, Rishi Kapoor, Soha Ali Khan, Soundtrack, Tell Me O Kkhuda, trailer, Vinod Khanna
And both the trailers of one thing in common – No respect for Fonts.
Soundtrack is directed by debutant Neerav Ghosh and stars Rajeev Khandelwal, Soha Ali Khan and Mrinalini Sharma. Saregama India Ltd., the company which delivered a dud of EPIC size last year with Jhootha Hi Sahi, has produced it. The trailer looks like Dev D meets Shaitan. Is there no other way to show drug abuse in cinema? And “what the F”? Really? That’s the best they could think of? All for adding some cool quotient.
With no other options left Mommy Hema Malini has now directed a film to save the career of daughter dearest Esha Deol with desi version of Mamma Mia. And it looks like this will be the final nail in that career coffin. Try adding one more “K” in that Kkhuda. The film also stars Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Arjan Bajwa and Chandan Roy Sanyal.
First Look : That Girl In Yellow Boots, My Friend Pinto and Malegaon Ka Superman (Posters)

Anurag Kashyap’s next release That Girl In Yellow Boots finally gets an official poster. Not sure if it’s the same agency which has designed the posters of Dev D, Shaitan and now TGIYB but some design hangover seems to be there…similar elements, colours and that garish touch.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also ready with his next production, My Friend Pinto. Directed by debutant Raaghav Dar, it stars Prateik, Kalki Koechlin, Arjun Mathur, Divya Dutta, Raj Zutshi and Shruti Seth.
And the third one is Malegaon Ka Superman. This one comes from the cottage film industry of Malegaon. Do check out its tagline.

CHAR… THE ISLAND WITHIN directed and produced by Sourav Sarangi, co-produced by Stefano Tealdi and Signe Byrge Sørensen
The Trapper’s Snare is the spiritual journey of 15 year old Sundaran, his experiences and realizations, and his rite of passage into adulthood. The film is a meditation on the significance of what one is able to or willing to leave behind.
In a culture where beauty, delicacy, refinement and submission are the prized traits to the ultimate feminine career fulfilment, marriage, young Muslim girls learn boxing at a little gym in Kolkata, India. Burqa Boxers tells the story of these warriors determined to knock out a few stereotypes. It will be the story of three young women Amina, Shyara, and Khadija as they train for the state amateur boxing championship.
In addition, the 64th Locarno Festival proudly presents three films whose projects took part in Open Doors co-production lab past editions: in the Concorso internazionale TANATHUR (Last Days in Jerusalem) by Tawfik Abu Wael (Israel/Palestine/France/Germany), winner of the 2007 Open Doors co-production lab; in the Concorso Cineasti del presente SOLNETCHNIYE DNI (Sunny Days) by Nariman Turebayev (Kazakistan), winner in 2010, and HELLO!
