Before you start rattling down names or disturb the traffic of Google, let us tell you that she is none other than Madame Mallika Sherawat, who is (needless to say) all over not just the place, but also over everyone's hearts! If that was not enough, then, she is in a very corporately chic avatar in the latest edition of the fashion magazine Grazia. They talk about the 'Girl next door'. But looking at Mallika, even this tag fails to impress the situation. The term that really describes her best is 'The Boss Next Cabin'. For starters, Mallika, who is known for her 'words-faster-than-bullets' kind of speech, has mellowed down now, and which shows in the whole of the interview. The whole article is more of an A-Z of Mallika (from what she was to what she is today), which is accompanied by snaps (full marks to the photographer for presenting her like never before) which complements the article. A small mention to the section of '5 Things To Know About Mallika', which gives an insight of the 'Real Mallika'! All in all, it's indeed a collectors issue to say the least!Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 18 Nov 2008 | 3:26 pm "Today's audience is ruthless" - Madhur BhandarkarFashion is a success and in the process has turned out to be the biggest money spinner of Madhur Bhandarkar's decade long career. While brand Madhur has been created in the process, the filmmaker continues to be obsessed with telling different stories in his own experimental manner. A fortnight after the release of the film, as he finally settles down to the fact that he has to move on to the next project, Madhur Bhandarkar gets into this Exclusive two part conversation with Joginder Tuteja where he bares his heart out about the success of Fashion and how it still won't change his approach towards movie making. With a multi crore commercial success like Fashion under your belt, is it goodbye to serious cinema and welcome to hardcore money spinner worthy commercial cinema? Actually, I have never ever got into matters like these. I have always maintained that I am an experimental filmmaker whose films also get commercial viability. This way, I am truly blessed because my films also get critical acclaim and also National awards. I am really happy with the kind of cinema I make, the subjects I explore and the treatment I give to my films. But when a film like Fashion does such business, isn't it tempting to go for those mega bucks? See, the subject of Fashion was such that it required huge budget due. The movie was required to be opulent with a mega look and sheer grandeur to boast. A budget comes after you have short listed the subject and this is how my films in future too would be planned. I am not someone who makes proposal cinema ki chalo 3 hero le lo, 3 heroine daal do aur kuch gaane bhi bhar do! Right from Chandni Bar to Fashion, the film's scale has been set as per the script. I went to swanky boardrooms for Corporate; I entered the dingy by lanes for Traffic Signal. A budget comes after you have short listed the subject and this is how my films in future too would be planned Please carry on⦠Tomorrow I may make a film for which I may just require an Rs. 8 crore budget; I don't have to make my next movie also as big as Fashion. It's not that because my last film was made in Rs. 30 crores, the next has to carry a Rs. 60 crores budget. Scenario may have only improved after Fashion, isn't it? I guess I can stand up and say that producers have been knocking the doors with even more vigor. It may sound immodest to a few but let me state a fact - I have spent last 8-9 years making a brand for myself. This time period has seen each of my movies making money. Moreover, all of them have been made in a certain kind of preset budget; something which my producers have always acknowledged. They know that Madhur guarantees definite recovery and also ensures profit inflow. What has been the secret of making it happen film after film? I know for sure how to cut cost and resist the temptation of going overboard. I also don't opt for fancy locations just for the sake of it and instead try shooting at real locations as much as possible. I also keep in constant touch with my exhibitors and distributors and discuss about audience's taste, emerging trends and how investment could be recovered. This is what makes my films safer and I end up getting 3 to 4 times the investment back. No wonder, producers have maintained that Madhur is a producer's director (smiles). I also keep in constant touch with my exhibitors and distributors and discuss about audience's taste, emerging trends and how investment could be recovered Since you always aspire to pick up experimental subjects, doesn't it become risky project after project? You are right in saying that because the fact is that each of the subjects that I have explored has been dicey for me. However, where I get all my knowledge and learning is by interacting with so many people. I don't make films by doing a DVD rip off or picking up a South Indian film for a remake. I know for sure that the way I make my films, it turns out to be a tedious process. It is risky too and also takes more time. But then tell me, which movie is secure today? Even if it is a hardcore commercial cinema with 3 heroes and 3 heroines, is it safe anymore? Can anyone guarantee that they would work at the box office? No one can. I don't make films by doing a DVD rip off or picking up a South Indian film for a remake You seem to be unsure about the way audience would react! See, today's audience is ruthless. It gets it after the opening show on Friday itself that whether the film was indeed made with a purpose or was it just a proposal in the making. At the end of the day it is merit that does all the talking. Star system or big budget sure shot successes are a passe. At the end of the day it is all about content and I am really happy that there is a major revamp in the industry and the audience.

In a futuristic move, Ramesh Sippy Entertainment (RSE) has decided to release their forthcoming movie, The President is Coming, exclusively on the 2K Digital Platform. This means that no celluloid prints of this film will be distributed in Mumbai and will result in substantial savings on cost of release. The film will have prime show timings in all the screens and there will be no shuttling of prints. RSE is under contract with Scrabble Entertainment to use their wide Digital platform of 2K Digital Screens throughout India. Patrons will experience 2K Digital Image Quality which is the best in the world today. The President is Coming is an English film and the first ever 'Mockumentary' about new India. It is a comedy about young India's ambitions and aspirations. With a style that is very tongue in cheek, the film takes a look at President George Bush' visit to India in 2006 where he wanted to shake hands with one young Indian under the age of 30. Originally a play, written by Anuvab Pal and directed by Kunaal Roy Kapoor, this film is a humourous take on India Shining. It features 6 different characters who reflect the classic new India undergoing a gruesome contest to become the lucky winner to shake the President's hand. Anuvab Pal has earlier co written the critically acclaimed Loins Of Punjab. Kunaal Roy Kapoor debuts as a feature film director with this film. He has earlier directed the original play. Cast includes Konkona Sen Sharma, Shernaz Patel who are new to the project whereas the other cast including Ira Dubey, Vivek Gomber, Satchit Puranik, Namit Das, Anand Tiwari and Shivani Tanksale have all been part of the original play. Says producer Rohan Sippy, "It is wonderful to be the first producer to put true digital cinema before an Indian audience- from acquisition all the way to flawless projection of the final image. Our comedy is a fresh take on 'India Shining', which makes it an even better association with Scrabble and a technology that is bound to fundamentally change not only the viewer's experience, but transform the films we make and the way we make them." Ranjit Thakur, CEO - Scrabble Entertainment adds, "This move by RSE will create a new revolution in Indian Cinema. The 2K Platform will enable them to release the film at zero print cost and also enhance the Box Office collections as it will get Prime show timings in all screens. The patrons will be privileged to see the film in the World's best image resolution: 2K."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 18 Nov 2008 | 1:48 pm
