No paisa vasool!
A still fromTu Mera 22 Main Tera 22 They know about it; they might not be saying it aloud — Punjabi film industry might soon hit that big iceberg, the one that sank the Titanic!

Nine out of ten films barely managed to recover one-third of the money invested on them!

Anuj Sawney Brand bargain
Affordable luxury is what brand Swiss Military stands for. Established in 1984 in Switzerland, the brand has made its presence felt by doing exceptionally well in flight and online market. It is all set to enter multi-brand outlets in a big manner in February. Swiss Military has diverse products, right from cosmetics, footwear, leather goods to multi-utility items. Five years of its presence in the country, the brand has taken its own time in entering the direct market, explains Anuj Sawney, MD, Swiss Military, "With such cultural diversity, we had to customise products. The market being so price sensitive, we had to walk the extra mile on that too."

But for those who can afford this design attribute, it is well worth it and results in a home that feels far more spacious than its dimensions would suggest.
