Actor Sharad Kelkar, who voices the character of Ravan in the animated series ‘The Legend of Hanuman’, has expressed his displeasure over poor dubbing choices in the industry. The actor said that this is particularly “frustrating because the content that has the potential to break new grounds in the Hindi market goes to waste because the makers don’t want to spend much on the dubbing process”.
Talking about the same, he said: “The craft of voice-modulation and voice acting is not appreciated in the industry which I’m very angry about. I have seen such brilliant content in English or even from south India, it has the potential to disrupt new markets but it all goes to waste when the content is dubbed in Hindi.”
He further mentioned: “Most of the time the dubbing is so bad, sometimes knowingly with the lack of budget ruining the viewing experience for the audience.

Karanveer Mehra, who stars in the play ‘Lights Out’, said that it is unfortunate that the issues in the narrative raised decades ago, are still more relevant than ever. The teleplay is based on Manjula Padmanabhan’s acclaimed work. In 1986, when playwright Manjula Padmanabhan’s play ‘Lights Out’ opened in Mumbai, it created a sensation because it was based on the eyewitness account of a horrific crime.
Talking about the same, he said: “This teleplay mirrors the fact that when we remain silent, we are complicit in injustice. The fact that many such incidents continue to take place, is very disturbing.”
The teleplay unfolds in the apartment of a middle-class couple who have invited some friends over. Their cheerful evening gets disrupted when they overhear an assault in a nearby compound. The events that follow illustrate not just collective apathy but also voyeuristic curiosity.

Excel Entertainment’s Friday Night Plan, directed by Vatsal Neelakantan, seems to have created a good buzz ever since the first teaser was released a while ago. At first glance, Friday Night Plan trailers give off the feel of a slice-of-life comedy movie mixed with family dynamics and coming-of-age elements. We also believe this film has all the aspects of a young adult story that involves a high school senior who comes across as an introvert but will probably soon go through a life-changing incident. The crackling, fun visuals add to the intrigue of the film. Friday Night Plan caters to the younger generation who want to watch some relatable light-hearted films.
Story And Plot
The trailer follows the lives of two brothers, the lead characters of the movie, Sid and Abi. We believe Sid is the reclusive kind, while Abi is the outgoing boy who loves being the troublemaker.

Maja Ma(Amazon Prime Video)

Director Anand Tiwari
The LGBTQ community is suddenly getting a lot of attention from Bollywood. Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao played gay characters recently. Now it is the divine Ms Madhuri Dixit playing a Gujarati housewife In Maja Ma who after years of obedient housekeeping is forced out of the closet.
Actor turned director Anand Tiwari(who did well for himself while helming Bandish Bandits) is on firm ground. He explores the Gujarati middleclass household and the gossipy rigidly conservative milieu with confidence. Once again after The Fame Game, Madhuri plays a wife and a mother with dark secrets. This time she is more tragic than mysterious. Wordlessly she slips into her character Pallavi Patel’s pained past to dig out uncomfortable truths.

Hindi-language “Maja Ma,” starring Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit Nene, is the first of many Indian original films from Amazon Prime Video, Aparna Purohit, the head of India originals for the streamer, has revealed.
The film is a Prime Video commission, as opposed to an acquisition. “We have been acquiring films, we have been putting films straight on our service and over the last two years, we put almost 60 films out and we also bought into co-productions.

Next up are films in the Telugu and Tamil languages, with films in Malayalam and Kannada being explored. “We want to tell stories that are truly rooted in our soil, stories that are compelling, that are differentiated, in the hands of very passionate creators – story being the starting point for every decision.

Deep rooted in Indian families these days with varying levels of intensity, there is a mash up of broken ambitions, impulsive decisions, moral conduct unbecoming and of course, the ever so spoken about battle of the mind and the heart. This is just what Crazy Cukkad Family is all about. Good thing is that it serves the truth syrup without that annoying aftertaste that may cause sulking, instead it packs it well with a whole lot of comedy right at its place. Read on to know more.
Crazy Cukkad Family, directed by Ritesh Menon, is around 110 minutes of moving portrait of a family which unlike the families of the eras gone by, has an ideal mother, servant and four out of the line kids who either are in problems or are simply not comfortable in their own skin. The movie has an entire array of known actors. Despite the fact...

Treatment of the film is very good and it is light hearted comment. I am sure, people will enjoy it," says Gulzar Saheb.

Unlike most of the film makers who prefer to erect huge village sets in Mumbai city, director Ajoy chose to shoot in a real village for his upcoming film, Dus Tola..To make a village story authentic, you cannot create it in a studio. Our entire film is based in the village. So we chose to shoot at actual location in Wai and Mahabaleshwar. Certain sequences were done at Gorai too. In fact Manoj.s jewelry shop in the film is an actual shop. We requested the local at Wai to loan it to us for a few days. The jewelry shown in the shop is all real. We really had to be very creative with our lighting and camera to get proper shots.. In fact quite a lot of locals are seen in many shots as crowd. Ajoy, who is very impressed with folk tales, has the story with...

This is what happened to Aarti Chhabria at Gorai beach. She was shooting there for her film Dus Tola by AryanBrothers Entertainment production that is releasing on 22 October. In the film she is playing a small town girl which is performance oriented character. It was a scene with Manoj Bajpayee and she wanted to give her best to the shot. So, to get into the character and mood of the scene, she first rehearsed the scene and went to sit on a rock to seclude herself. "I did not want anybody to disturb my mood so I sat there with my eyes closed. I was mentally rehearsing it all the while. Then suddenly I realized that it had turned a bit too quite. I opened my eyes and was shocked to see water all around me. While I was sitting there, tide had risen and sea had totally surrounded the rock.

Manoj Bajpayee can really fool people with his easy demeanor and serious looks. But in reality he is an exact opposite of that. His producer of Dus Tola Kunwar Pragny Arya prefers to call him 'Naughty as a kid'.He recalls, "We were shooting back to back. Schedules were quite tight and we would wrap up the shoot late in night. The next day shoot would start by 9 am so we all had to get up latest by 7.30 am to reach the location. But on 3rd day of shoot, early in the morning at 6 am somebody rang the bell, asking for laundry. We were baffled but sent him off, thinking it's a genuine mistake. Entire day we were so sleepy on the sets. When we told Manoj, he was most sympathetic. But then every day somebody would ring the bell of our room at 6 in the morning and ask for laundry.

Two-serial-old Ragini Khanna is all set to join the bandwagon of actors who are hopping between film and television. She’s starring in ‘Mare Mere Dushman’ opposite veteran television actor Ninad Kamat.
“This film happened to me before I signed Bhaskar Bharti”, she informs. “It is too early to talk about the film, all I can say is that, it’s a dark comedy and I am playing a simple small-town girl in it”, she reluctantly briefs on the film.
As of now actors are tight-lipped to divulge any details. Besides Ragini and Ninad, television actress Ravee Gupta will also be.
