harbours no suspicion entertains no expectation Instead it grants the sweetest liberty of all the liberty to devote oneself entirelyAnd in that devotion I discovered the essence of love as it was

directorial Lord Curzon Ki Haveli will have the recreated version of legendary German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethovens two classic symphonies in the black comedy thriller starring Rasika Dugal and Arjun Mathur Anshuman told IANS As a filmmaker I wanted to play with contrasts Sound design is critical to the cinematic experience and often less is more Beethovens music is precise almost sacred Setting that against the chaos of a black comedy like Lord Curzon Ki Haveli which unfolds in the West creates a tension that is both absurd and profoundA lifelong admirer of Ludwig van Beethoven Anshuman has reimagined two of the composers most iconic works Für Elise and Symphony No 5 for the films scoreThe reinterpretation was crafted in collaboration with Margitte Awardwinning Belgian composer Simon FransquetAnshuman added In 2025 these classical pieces arent just background music theyre ironic narrators amplifying the madness inside the haveli while reminding us that human folly like great art is eternal I didnt want to borrow from Beethoven I wanted a collaboration across centuriesOn reworking the classics Simon Fransquet added For me its about resonance not imitation Beethoven is one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music history so the challenge was to make his DNA echo inside todays soundscape I wasnt interested in a museum reproduction but in texture tension distortionFransquet added The violin we recorded doesnt play Für Elise as you know it it scratches at it whispers it screams it It becomes almost ghostly as if Beethoven is still present but filtered through todays fractured emotional worldShot entirely on a single lens the film marks the directorial debut of actor Anshuman Jha the film also stars Arjun Mathur Tanmay Dhanania

and Janhvi Kapoor starrer Homebound finally reached the cinema halls on FridaySep 26 Despite being Indias official entry for the Oscars the drama was given a limited number of screens in the theatres Not just that it also failed to attract the audience to the theatres given that small numbers of cinema goers whoever went appreciated Karan Johars project wholeheartedlyDuring an exclusive conversation with IANS filmcritic and journalist Ramachandran Srinivasan was asked Homebound has been chosen as Indias official entry for the Oscars What do you think about the perception that it has been sidelined in IndiaReacting to this he stated that the short duration of Homebound could be a major reason why the film did not get a positive response in IndiaWhen you say a film like Homebound is one hour and four minutes long and after censorship you are left with just about one hour and two minutes the question ariseswhy would I spend the same amount of money watching such a film when I could watch a fullfledged entertainer in theatres Thats possibly one of the major reasons why Homebound was not widely welcomed at home he saidCommenting on whether there was enough of a campaign to create awareness for Homebound Ramachandran shared Multiplexes which are the primary target for a film like this need programmers who allocate screens based on buzz and box office performanceThe collections werent strongaround seventyfive lakhs in early showswhich made programmers hesitant Theyd rather back a film that fills theatres than one that has just a handful of viewers he addedHe was further questioned about why film like Lunchbox worked well internationally despite not having big stars and why Homebound didnt achieve similar successTo this he pointed out that Lunchbox did well in both India and abroadHowever Homebound has performed weaker internationally than domesticallyThats possibly why it has not lived up to expectations both at home and outside But that doesnt mean filmmakers get discouraged Every film has its own destiny The real challenge is awarenesswhen audiences dont even know a film is releasing amidst so many web shows and movies how will they come to

shades of vulnerability intensity and moral dilemmas His professional ethics and decisions are often questioned in the show which adds an extra layer of conflict and realism to his journey He also

in two different timelines focuses on the story of Virmati the eldest of ten children in a traditional Punjabi household in 1940s Lahore Determined to pursue education and love she challenges societal norms only to face unforeseen consequences when she becomes the second wife of a married professorIn 2022 her granddaughter Simar faces a failing marriage and a secret affair discovering Virmatis hidden past forces her to confront her estranged mother IlaRazdan told varietycom that Kapurs novel instantly started a visual reactionWhen I read the book many years ago at that time it struck me as being very cinematically written It is descriptive in a way that evokes the inner landscape of the characters as well as the outer actual canvasShe said she found herself visualising the story long before she thought of making it into a filmRazdan added While a nation was on the verge of attaining its independence we have a young girl fighting for the same rights However at its core this film is a personal story or rather stories that are set in two different time periodsHaving previously starred in Yours Truly which screened at Busan in 2018 Razdan returned this year as director with Difficult DaughtersShe talked about the authenticity in recreating the past1940s small town Amritsar in Punjab has to be recreated but in parallel the casting is key So actors costumes and set design are the most important elements particularly for Difficult Daughters And last but not least the music there is huge opportunity here to be really out of the box in terms of how we go about marrying past and presentAlia who is one of biggest stars in India and head of Eternal Sunshine Productions framed the project as both personal and aligned with her companys ethos reports varietycomAt Eternal Sunshine we are always on the lookout for stories that strike a deep chord and stay with the audience long after the film ends Difficult Daughters is undoubtedly one of those Alia saidOf course its extra special to have my mom direct it but what truly makes it stand out for me is the shared belief we all have in this story Busan is a beautiful first step in its journey and we hope the film continues to spark conversations and connections wherever it goes because stories like this dont just belong to one place they belong to everyone she told varietycom IANS

body said in a statement that it has always maintained a clear and uncompromising stand that no Pakistani artiste will ever be allowed in the Indian film industry Any Indian filmmaker or producer who casts Pakistani singers actors or performers will face a complete ban from AICWAIt then referenced the row around Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjhs film Sardaar Ji 3 as it said in a statement When Sardaar Ji 3 was made actorproducer Diljit Dosanjh collaborated with Pakistani artistes from the terror nation AICWA strongly opposed this act of betrayal and since then Diljit Dosanjh remains banned by us Even if others give him work in movies like Border 2 or elsewhere AICWA will continue to boycott him until he apologizes to the nation publiclyThe body had also imposed a ban on the film Abir Gulaal and on its producers and principal collaborators calling it a deliberate nonnegotiable stanceIt further mentioned When artists or makers normalize talent from a nation that openly supports terror they undermine the sentiments of 140 crore Indians and betray our armed forces We call upon every patriotic citizen to stand united this is not about politics it is about honouring the sacrifice of our soldiersThe body went on to target the BCCI calling it a corrupt cricket board as it said Unfortunately for the BCCI money has always come before the nation They allowed this shameful match to happen just for profit forgetting that India belongs to its brave soldiers not to corrupt cricket boards Only our soldiers have the courage to stand fearlessly against Pakistan while BCCI bends for money Even ICC Chairman Jay Shah could have stopped this match but he chose not to His silence speaks volumesLet it be clear This nation belongs to the soldiers who protect us Bharat is

confidence and morale but I reckon that given specific and right conditions for the Indian team we can certainly do wellWell in fact I havent really played against much of this but I think that probably on our wickets being slow as I hope they will be that we should be able to dull it a little bit but they are a good pace attack and Im sure the pace attack will get more of their wickets and the spinners will Well given the right conditions I think we can bowl them out but they have to be specific conditions and it also depends on the composition of our team I mean weve got to have some very good close in catching and if our close in catching is successful theres no reason why we shouldnt do well but as I said its going to be a pretty tough series he addedFor the unversed Mansoor Ali

for the release of his upcoming production Tu Meri Poori Kahani has spoken up on why he chose to nurture fresh talent and serve as their mentor The veteran filmmakerproducer spoke with IANS during the promotional campaign of Tu Meri Poori Kahani and shared that there came a time when he became disinterested as a filmmaker but he loves the medium of cinema and wanted to give back something to the mediumHe told IANS There comes a time when you realise that you have been an expression of a time frame The decade in which you made films you are a byproduct of that Because you have lived those experiences and you have metabolized those responses which you convert into your story But then like everything else even the sun gets eclipsed So you realise that now that fire that is there in you is waning And the thirst that was there in you is vanishing There is no intensity there is no energy And then you find young talent who have an enormous thirst to keep on making filmsHe further mentioned that it is far more gratifying to make people than to make films as he said How much more hunger can you have for validation You have proved that you are a good filmmaker And with the kind of body of work you have done you have made all kinds of films You have made socalled middle of the road art films Janam Naam Zakhm Aashiqui Sadak you have made all kinds of films So what more do you want So a kind of monotony kicks in then you start getting disinterested So that phase had come into my life and thats when I decided to be a mentor to peopleHe went on Mentoring is not an easy job mentoring means hands off If my fingerprints are showing on the job of a fresh talent then its not their work its me I take utmost care that I give the space to young talent to learn from my experience but I leave the decisionmaking to them In this process if they fall I let them fall and make mistakes because what they will learn after falling and committing mistakes is something I wont be able to teach them everI got into that phase and let me tell you that it has been the most gratifying phase I started this with Vikram Bhatt when he made Raaz Then Anurag Basu came Kunal Deshmukh
