The Movie Book Toofan



Training the body is way harder! Regarding the Tapori slang, I mean you have Vijay Maurya doing the dialogues, and he has great wit, understanding, and nuance. So, we had that to work off. And just to jam was the fun part. When you sit around with other actors and you are reading your lines and just having fun. Working with Hussain was absolutely incredible. He helped me and my performance tremendously in those scenes, especially when we are like the catch whiskers guys roaming around the streets of Dongri. Then, of course, working with Mrunal (Thakur) was, I mean she is four films old, but you cannot tell that when you see this movie. She is so good. Then the absolutely incredible and talented Paresh Rawal Ji. It was a dream to have him on board for a film like this.




The Movie Book Toofan



Useless and most predictable movie. No need to watch... Big joke so far that critics providing a rating of 3.5. Movie is full of useless drama. At every scene you can predict the story line except heroin got expire in-between (no need of this in the movie)Do not watch.... Why we should promote senseless content ...


Aziz Ali embraces the advice of his coach Nana by treating the boxing ring as his ghar but Prabhu does not know that he is slowly harboring dreams of making his daughter Ananya, his gharwali. The movie packs a bit too many subplots, and because of that fails to hit the target of Mehra pictures like in Rang De Basanti and BMB. But the boxing paraphernalia, training, matches, costumes, street scenes, makeup, and cinematography are top-notch.


Since the plot was known it had to be laced with taut screenplay but the film was more like a rehash of the 80s tales. Romance was absent, humor was silly, technical values were not strong, dialogues were pale and generating the adrenalin rush required for an action packed treat was nil. The first half was routine and goes without an intensity and same with the second half. This turned out to be a dusty book in a neglected cupboard.


His redemption is forcing a choice on the world. An old out of weight boxer under a cloud should, seemingly, no longer have the choice to be a champion. And yet, he MAKES it happen, against all odds. That is an interesting movie. Acknowledging exactly how those odds are stacked against people, how insurmountable and unfair and horrible they are, but also saying that if you persevere, you can get passed them.


I came across this book sometime last year when I was trying to educate myself on the early days of Indian cinema. Since my interest in Indian cinema is in movies from 1950s and onwards, when it comes to the two preceding decades, barring certain iconic names such as K.L. Saigal, Pankaj Mullick, Devika Rani, Himanshu Rai, I know nothing more.


Since yesterday (April 22, 2018) was the 102nd birth anniversary of Kanan Devi and today is celebrated as World Book Day, it seems apt to commemorate these days (and yes keep the blog active) with a post about this book.


As a child, Kanan Bala was said to be quiet and much of a loner, lost in her own world of daydreams, triggered by books she had read and the melodies she heard (of Baul singers, local pooja pandals, jatra theatre.) She was attracted to music and would often get lost, drawn by music and would have to be brought back home. Calcutta, in those early years, was a happening place and attracted popular entertainers, be they circus artistes, jugglers, musicians, dancers and actors. There indeed was much to see and hear.


She was just ten when she met Tulsi Banerji, a character actor in theatre and nascent film industry. Even at that age, Kanan Devi is said to have possessed striking looks, one that got Banerji to notice her. It was Banerji who introduced Kanan to his contacts at Madan Theatres Limited. Her screen test was successful as the owner of Madan Theatre and the director spotted the budding diva in her and she was selected. Kanan Devi made her debut in the silent film Jaidev (1926). She earned a princely sum of Rs 5 per month for the movie, which solved their financial hassles for a while. Kanan was to find out much later that she had been contracted for Rs 25 per month but the staff at Madan Theatre happily whittled off the rest!


Crammed with numerous interesting anecdotes that help unravel the personality of a performer who may not be well-known today, but one who is, arguably considered, the first superstar of Indian cinema, Kanan Devi: The First Superstar of Indian Cinema is a fascinating book. Definitely worth a read!

This Prime Day, Prime members were in for a mega entertainment treat: Prime Video announced the world premiere of much anticipated movies across multiple languages. The list includes titles like Toofaan (Hindi), Malik (Malayalam), Ikkat (Kannada) and Sarpatta Parambarai (Tamil/Telugu), amongst others.


On the contrary, the Hindi version of RRR had managed to earn just over 5 crores in terms of advanced booking. According to trade analysts, the Kannada film has managed to earn Rs 20 crore in advance bookings across all languages in north India only.


The movie is about the rise of Rocky (Yash), a smuggler who attempts to take over the gold mining empire in Kolar Gold Fields. Apart from Yash, the movie stars Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Srinidhi Shetty, and Prakash Raj.


Movie for me is not just entertainment if you look closely movie teaches you a lot of things. Let me share with you one of my yesterday experiences, along with 100 associates watching a movie together on zoom. 100 associates connected over a call is very normal for me. (aap ko to pata he hai how to watch a movie from OTT platform online on screen sharing) Because people who are a part of my business are my family only. Someday I will explain this to you.


I am so glad I looked into getting a review with The Review of Books Reading Club.Books are an important part of life almost every successful person reads one book a month, initially for me reading books is quite hard. But reading in a collaborative way and discussing on it open my eyes too new paradigms and possibilities of the knowledge in the book along with fun.


Everyone tells the power of reading but no one talks about how to make it a habit. Book reading club is a good initiative for making reading as a habit for those who like socializing but don't like reading.Actually, I was the kind of person who love to interact with people, and discuss many things but didn't like reading. Only because of this club I start enjoying book reading. The results are the first time I purchased books for reading, took a subscription to video books, and started daily reading or listening to books as well.


I attended a few book reading club sessions conducted by the mazavyapar community. It was amazing and fun. I enjoyed it. Talking openly and sharing my views in front of people helped me to improve my confidence level in real life.


I like reading books. I attended the book reading club once and understood how reading in a group can be fun and beneficial.I look forward to the book reading session every Saturday. Thank you MAZAVYAPAR team. 2ff7e9595c
