Elegant Kareena Kapoor launches Filmfare’s new fashion, lifestyle avatar

Filmfare gets an all-new fashion and lifestyle avatar

The gorgeous Kareena Kapoor flagged off Filmfare’s new milestone ─ the all new  uber-stylish Filmfare, with none other than her on the cover. She also revealed the first look of the promotional campaign ‘And so it begins’ of All New Filmfare at Escobar, Bandra’s favourite hotspot.

Of the 100 years of Indian cinema, Filmfare has been a keen chronicler for 60 years, constantly keeping pace with the stars and their movies and documenting the changing trends of cinema.  With Filmfare, people not just followed their favourite stars’ dreams, their lives, their loves – but each time felt they had known them a little better, or been a part of their lives.
In the last few years, movie stars have evolved. When they are not making movies, they are at 20-20 extravaganzas, egging their favourite team on, or walking the ramp at one of the fashion capitals, or cheering their favourite speedster at a Formula One circuit, or collaborating with experts at a design studio, to launch a signature line. As their identities grow larger-than-life, their worlds intersect with those of their fans even more, making reel-relationships real.

And so unravels the all-new Filmfare. 60 years seemed like the right time to reinvent ourselves.  To get the reader to experience movie stars and everything associated with them like never before. The new Filmfare is almost like having front-row seats to exclusive parties, more-candid-than-ever pictures and exclusive heart-to-hearts with your idols. Lush photo features, star tweets, Instagram updates – you name it, it’ll all be in here. With dollops of hi-fashion, beauty secrets and travel itineraries that B-town likes to indulge in. We will take you to the homes of your favourite stars. To their favourite hangouts. To their gadgets, gizmos, cars. To their unwind moments with their children. To the essence of who they are and what they do.

CEO, Worldwide Media, Tarun Rai says, “There is no other magazine that can claim to have partnered Indian cinema for the last 60 years. And Filmfare has been able to do so because it has kept reinventing itself. Now, as our stars evolve from movie icons to fashion and lifestyle icons, it was only fitting that Filmfare followed suit. And so it begins a new journey for Filmfare. The All New Filmfare will now cover not only films, but fashion and lifestyle too.”

Satyagraha - Bollywood film review

Prakash Jha’s ‘Satyagraha’ is the story of a son who yearns for a father. Of a father, who grieves for his lost son. Of a young woman who fights so hard with life that she has forgotten to love. Of an ambitious rabble-rouser, for whom action is the knee-jerk mantra.

It is the story of how these four discover one another, and come together to raise hell, shaking the powers that be to their very roots!

But, Satyagraha is also the story of an influential power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to destroy them.

The story revolves around Dwarka Anand (Amitabh Bachchan), a retired teacher, is an idealistic man, somewhere in the heartland of India. He is a satyavadi and believes that one should give back to the society, the country, all they have given to us.

His son Akhilesh is an civil engineer who dream is to build the best fly over in the country. Akhilesh’s friend Manav (Ajay Devgan) has come to stay at their place. Manav is an ambitious capitalist, and the retired school teacher is averse to this youth’s capitalist dreams…

Akhilesh dies in an accident. The Home Minister of the state (Manoj Bajpai) announces an amount of compensation of Rs 25 Lakhs to his bereaved family. His wife Sumitra (Amrita Rao) wants to set up a local school in her city, gets sick of her visits to the collector’s office to collect the amount. Dwarka Anand visits the Collector’s office, and is incensed with this laid back attitude. The old man ends up as him slapping the Collector.

Immediately Dwarka Anand is arrested and is imprisoned. Sumitra sends SOS to her Manav bhaiya, who rushes to the city and starts a campaign to free Dwarka Anand, using social media, also with the help of local leader Arjun Singh (Arjun Rampal) and television journalist Yasmin Ahmed’s (Kareena Kapoor) support.
Thus begins the revolution.

Talaash - Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee

An exceptional suspense thriller with an unusual narrative, unlike other edge of the seat thrillers, this one has a narrative never seen before in hindi cinema.

Talaash is an psychological suspense thriller. During the course of investigation of an accidental death of a superstar Inspector Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) experiences an inner guilt of the loss of his son.

The case turns into a life altering chase for Inspector Shekhawat when he is forced to reel under the repercussions of a broken married life with wife and come face to face with his suppressed grief of drowning of his son.

The film begins with a car accident leading to the death of a high profile star. Inspector Shekhawat buries himself in grilling the suspects, formulating various reasons or motives which lead to a dead end.

Most of the scenes are shot in red light areas of Mumbai. Talaash explores Mumbai’s underbelly like never before.

The film has accomplished actors like Aamir Khan, Kareena and Rani. Rani Mukherjee is brilliant as the grieving mother striving hard to come back to normalcy in her life. Those moments when she feels lonely and her confrontation with her husband appear extremely normal.

Aamir Khan sparkles as a cop yet again, but unlike the cop he played in Sarfarosh, he is superb in this matured role of an investigating inspector. And then it is Kareena Kapoor who plays the hooker – Rosy / Simran. Any male would die to get ‘hooked’ for a life-time with this hooker. In one word – OUTSTANDING.
