FILM REVIEW PFH Rave and Pantaloon have jointly come up with their latest production ‘Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne’ which opened yesterday all over and at Neelam (Chandigarh) and Suraj (Panchkula). Zayed Khan, son of Sanjay and Zarine Khan, brother in-law of Hritik Roshan and cousin of Fardeen Khan, makes his debut in this film. Playing his lady love in this film, a romantic thriller about a robber who gets away with a priceless booty, is Esha Deol. She is caught in a ring of suspense as she is followed by the shadow trio — all after the money. And the mystery deepens with the trio being the main suspects. The first part of the film is slow with mediocre scenes but the second part does have a brisk pace. production values are good. Cameraman T. Ramji has captured some beautiful locales of Bangkok. Action is good. Composer Himesh Reshamiiya has come up with a few good numbers including item song ‘Mohabbat Hai Mirchi’ by sizzling Rakhee Sawant. Debutante Zayed Khan displays a whole range of styles and impresses. Esha Deol gets an interesting role and performs well. Gulshan Grover, Vijay Raaj, Salil Ankola and Rakhee Sawant provide support. An average suspense thriller that will find going tough at the box office. * * * * * Another new comer Attin Bhalla perform like a superman in Ashok Honda’s fourth action film ‘Om’ (Jagat Chandigarh) after Rakshak, Anth and Krodh. It is an average action film made for the front benchers. The film has a plot similar to earlier action movies. The production values are upto the mark but the film has no face value. ‘Tum Bin’ fame Sandli Sinha looks pretty but her role is limited. Director Ashok Honda does not deliver the goods as he takes the audiences for granted.

Mamata
leaves an enraptured audience Chandigarh, March 22 As the soul behind her troupe called the Mamata Shankar ballet troupe, the dancer, who is also an actress of calibre, makes it clear that her work as a teacher and a creator does not end with the presentation. It goes beyond entertainment and finds fulfillment in communication and human bondage. This aspiration of Mamata Shankar was reflected in each presentation that her ballet troupe members made at Tagore Theatre on the third day of the Bhaskar Rao Sammelan. There was nothing “purely classical” about the sequences, but they were delightfully refreshing. In the first part of the presentation called Arg (the offering), the troupe members presented various dance sequences on myriad themes. The beginning was made with a sequence dedicated to the Indian spirit of celebration. As the troupe members held the stage in their rhythmic sway, the gathering wanted more of Mamata Shankar’s style, which appeared free from the fetters of rigid dance disciplines. Music director Salil Chowdhry’s famous Bangla song “Dhitam dhitam”, became the focus of the second dance sequence of the evening. Loaded with fine rhythms, the dance enraptured the audience, as the dancers held it captive. The spell of delight continued in the third presentation which was a choreographer’s tribute to Mother Nature. Titled rain drops, sunbeam and the thunder, the presentation saw ballet troupe members, along with guru Mamata Shankar, at their graceful best. The dance styles they projected were simple, largely folk in inclination. So was the case with the rest of the presentation, especially the second part of it which saw the audience being treated to a beautiful dance drama, based on one of Tagore’s poems. Through her engrossing blend of dance styles, Mamata Shankar held the audience together in the thread of melody and grace and rhythm. She proved that she was not just a fine actress who has been fondly cast by directors of the order of the late Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and Budhdeb Dasgupta, but she is also the worthy daughter of Uday Shankar, who has the mettle to evolve a dance style that imbibes the nuances of Uday Shankar, while at the same time goes beyond that.... That is what creation is. As the dancer-actress herself says, “I am trying to find a universal language through dance so that we, all human beings of the universe, can meet at some point.” In her pursuit, the dancer is supported by her long-time companion and husband Chandraoday Ghosh, who is also an accomplished dancer, trained under Amala Shankar. The ballet troupe members comprised Mamata Shankar Ghosh, Chandraoday Ghosh (who compered the show), Ratul Shankar Ghosh, Chandra Koley, Amrita Bhattacharya, Payel Chakraborty, Sreeparna Chatterjee, Rimjhim Mitra, Debalina Basu, Dhruba Mitra, Jaydeep Palit, Sudip Roy, Bidhan Roychowdhury, Krishnajit Munshi, Asit Sengupta, Rajit Shankar Ghosh. Earlier during the programme, the gathering was treated to the incredible talent of Kolkata-based child prodigy Rimpa Siva, who played the tabla with admirable command and ease. She displayed near perfection, as she presented various sequences in teen
taal. |
