Singh is Bliing – movie review

Mindless Comedy - Rating: **
Akshay Kumar’s energy, emotions and performance are the only saving grace of this yet again mindless comedy-action adventure.
Raftaar Singh (Akshay Kumar) is the apple of his mother (Rati Agnihotri) who spoils her son with her love and her home-cooked jalebis. Raftaar spends his time dancing and hanging out with his friends.
He is a free spirited man who finds happiness in other people’s smiles. He is always looking to live his life to the fullest and runs away from responsibility, leaves everything in his life incomplete. Hence his father sends him to Goa to work under his friend who could bring some change in this no-good son.
Raftaar Singh is then sent to receive his new Boss’s friend’s daughter Sara (Amy Jackson) who has come to India to search for her mother. She is beautiful yet tough as a rock as she grew up amidst guns and goons. Her kicks and punches would break bones for sure.
Our Sardarji has fallen in love with this girl, but she cannot understand Hindi, nor does he understand English. So the need to employ and interpreter Emily (Lara Dutta) who has to interpret the boys lovey-dovey messages to Sara and then left with no option of diplomatically translating the foreigner’s cold yet sharp answers.

BHARAT PUNARNIRMAN Employment in Theatre and Films

Mumbai, 30 Sept 2015
 
There are lakhs of aspiring actors, singers, writers, dancers, music composers, art directors and other technicians who come to their El Dorado, Mumbai to somehow try their luck in Bollywood. However its only a handful who actually end up landing a role in films or in any other department in our Hindi films.However Hollywood & Bollywood filmmaker, Nandita Singgha better known as Michelle has taken a pledge to genuinely give a chance to deserving talent in an initiative which coined as  “BHARAT PUNARNIRMAN-Employment In Theatre and Films”. Nandita Singgha ‘s RED Movie Teaser is coming this Gandhi Jayanti as a Tribute To Mahatma Gandhi Philosophy Through Crime Journalism.


It was during the making of this movie that Nandita realised that there is enormous talent which is untapped in various parts of India who can get a chance in her movies and she even wants to revive old traditional street plays also known as “Nukkad Natak” which is a part of our traditional heritage as it can provide employment to various people in the villages and smaller cities  thus addressing the unemployment issue of India in the Media & Entertainment Industry. This can be source of livelihood for the unemployed who are talented in street plays and folk theatre and the most talented actors and other crew who can even get a golden chance in her Hollywood, Bollywood and Regional movies.
BHARAT PUNARNIRMAN is an Initiative conceptualised by Nandita Singgha who firmly believes in discovering the real talent of India from Tier II Cities, Tier III Cities, Tier IV Towns and all villages of India at the grass root level. This will even be the first initiative across the length and breadth of India in making a social issue reach out to more people in villages related to their livelihood, hygiene, family planning, female foeticide, casteism, dowry, black magic,diseases to name a few. She says we all talk about various other issues but what about employment and current social awareness in our country.She believes that we have to provide a means of employment to youth who are going directionless and are unemployed even after having a degree. We have seen many gifted actors in Hindi films who are have made it big now but had to struggle for more than 10 years just to get noticed  and land a meaty role in Bollywood .We will make the journey simpler by giving them a chance in street plays and if they are very good then even in our multiple films so they don’t have to struggle for so many years. The awareness will work as a motivating factor to mould The Future of India as to what all can be done and how they can even support their family with innovative ideas to earn and bring more revenue in their respective families.

She can provide a platform for all the talented actors and people working in various media fields and have them on payroll on a monthly salary basis and she will even organise workshops to enhance their skills . There are many leading Media Institutes in India who offer various kinds of courses but what about providing employment to lakhs of Indians? There are lot of parents who take loans from Banks or Financial Institutions for giving the best of Education to their children in various fields in Tier I cities also apart from the rest of India so atleast this Theatre and Films employment program will provide the much needed relief as the solution to both the anxious parents as well as their children. 
 
So Friends, let’s join the “BHARAT PUNARNIRMAN” campaign at the grass root level and the Street plays will not only be a means of Entertainment for the common man but it will even reach out to those people who don’t have access to social media, newspapers or even the ones who don’t understand the language due to literacy.So Join me to Promote This Campaign at All India level to provide Employment by DISCOVERING TALENT !
