टिझर, ट्रेलर पेक्षा सिनेमाची गाणी आजकाल ठरतायेत फस्टलूक - संगीतकार रोहन गोखले  

चर्चेचा विषय आणि गाण्याची अवीट गोडी जपणाऱ्या सिनेमाच्या यादीत ''अजिंक्य'' सिनेमाचं नाव घेतलं जात आहे. या सिनेमात तरुणाईची नेमकी नस ओळखून आजचे विषय मांडण्यात आले आहेत. आधुनिकतेच्या आणि प्रगतीच्या वेगवान प्रवाहात स्वार असणाऱ्या आजच्या पिढीचं प्रतिनिधित्व करणारा नायक ''अजिंक्य''च्या संघर्षावर बेतलेला हा सिनेमा आहे. 

ल्युमिनरी सिने वर्ल्ड निर्मित आणि एक्झॉटेक मीडिया प्रा. लि. यांची प्रस्तुती असलेला ''अजिंक्य'' सिनेमा येत्या २० मार्च २०२० रोजी संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्रात प्रदर्शित होणार आहे. अरुणकांत शुक्ला, राघवेंद्र के. बाजपेयी, नीरज आनंद, बाबालाल शेख, राहुल लोंढे आणि वेद पी. शर्मा यांची निर्मिती असलेल्या अजिंक्य या सिनेमाचं दिग्दर्शन अ. कदिर यांनी केलं असून कथा, पटकथा, संवादही त्यांचेच आहेत. 

या सिनेमांचे संगीत दिग्दर्शन रोहन - रोहन या प्रसिद्ध संगीतकार जोडगोळीने केलं आहे. या सिनेमाबद्दल सांगताना रोहन गोखले म्हणाले, आजकाल सिनेमाच्या टिझर वा ट्रेलर पेक्षा सिनेमाची गाणी देखील मोठ्या प्रमाणावर पाहिली जातात. जी सिनेमाचा फस्टलूकही ठरु लागली आहेत. त्यामुळे सिनेमा तयार करणाऱ्या निर्माता दिग्दर्शकाप्रमाणे आमच्यावरही संगीतकार म्हणून मोठी जबाबदारी असते. गाण्यांचे शब्द, त्याचं संगीत याच्याकडे प्रेक्षकांचं बारीक लक्ष असतं. असं संगीत ज्यावेळी प्रेक्षकांपर्यंत पोहोचतं तेव्हा त्यांच्याकडून येणारा प्रतिसाद संगीतकारासाठी लक्षवेधी ठरतो.

 ''अजिंक्य'' सिनेमातील चारही गाणी आम्हाला असाच लक्षवेधी प्रतिसाद देतील असा विश्वास आहे. सिनेमातील वेगवगळ्या धाटणीची चार गाणी कथेच्या प्रवासाला सुकर करणारी आहेत. गीतकार किरण कोठावडे यांनी लिहिलेले  ''अलगद अलगद'' हे रोमँटिक सॉंग गायक रोहन प्रधान आणि मीनल जैन यांनी गायलं आहे. गायक रोहन गोखले यांच्या दमदार आवाजातील ''स्वप्नांना...'' हे मोटिव्हेशनल गाणं जय अत्रे याने लिहिलं आहे.

       

 ताल धरायला लावणारं गायिका प्राजक्ता शुक्रे हिच्या ठसकेबाज आवाजातील "माझे फेव्हरेट राव" हे आयटम सॉंग गीतकार जय अत्रे याच्या लेखणीतून उतरलं आहे. मनाला भिडेल असं ''आता तरी बोल ना'' हे भावनिक गाणं मनोज यादव यांनी लिहिलेलं असून गायक सुरज जगन आणि स्वप्नील बांदोडकर यांच्या आवाजात ऐकायला मिळणार आहे.

या सिनेमाचे छायांकन माधवराज दातार आणि दीपक पवार, संकलन रोहित म्हात्रे आणि विनायक कोंडे, पार्श्वसंगीत सलील अमृते, सहदिग्दर्शक उमेश नार्वेकर, कार्यकारी निर्माता सचिन यादव, कला सचिन पाटील, नृत्यदिग्दर्शन अर्जुन गायकवाड, वेशभूषा अनुजा जैस्वाल आणि रंगभूषा सुनील शेडगे यांनी केली आहे. झक्कास गाणी आणि दमदार कथेचा उत्तम मेळ असणारा अजिंक्य हा सिनेमा  २० मार्च २०२० रोजी प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला येत आहे.

A James Cameron Special - ‘Alita: Battle Angel’ premiers on Star Movies this Sunday 

13^th February 2020, Mumbai: ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an action-packed story of hope, love and empowerment by the maestro, James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez will premiere on Star Movies on February 16.  Adapted from Yukito Kishiro’s manga graphic novel, Alita is a gripping sci-fi thriller about a young cyborg who is on a journey of self-discovery to reclaim her memory.

                          

The movie stars Rosa Salazar as a mysterious yet powerful teen girl bot with oversized anime-style eyes and a good heart. The inimitable cast also include Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley, and Keean Johnson. The film is a visual treat as it features amazing special effects including the futuristic sport of Motorball which is central to the movie and is beautifully brought to life by the filmmakers.

Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita (Rosa Salazar) is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita awakens she has no memory of who she is. As she learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield Alita from her mysterious past while her street-smart new friend, Hugo (Keean Johnson), offers to help trigger her memories.

Cameron mentioned that Alita- Battle Angel was the second of two planned film trilogies he was developing, with the first being ‘Avatar’ and how he had hoped it could be a movie to inspire his own daughter. He says, “Alita is a moral character in a very immoral and dark world. Her father figure is compromised. Almost everyone is compromised or has sold out or made their deal with the devil ... except for her and she won’t do it."

From hand-drawn art to CGI motion-capture, this incredibly re-told story will keep you glued to your seat. Catch this manga-based cyberpunk thriller only on Star Movies First Time on television, 16th February at 1 PM and 9 PM.

The staggering number of followers on his Instagram handle and the engagement that is 4X more than what an A-list Bollywood celebrity has- is what makes him one of the biggest names on Indian social media. This has also bagged him music videos with top music labels that have trended on Youtube charts.

 Talking about this achievement, Qyuki Co-founder and MD,Samir Bangara said “Mr Faisu represents new India and the content they connect with. India’s original Tiktoker- his meteoric rise in the digital landscape of today is the courtesy of his honest personality and his ability to connect with his audience at all levels.

The Hundred Bucks – Double Whammy Release – Book and Film

Probably in a first of sorts, the film rights of a book got sold even before the book hit the stands and that seems to be the story with The Hundred Bucks! Dushyant Pratap Singh produced and directed The Hundred Bucks is all set for a double whammy . Not only is the movie releasing on the 21st of February, but this gritty cinema will also see a book releasing by the same name just a week short of the film release!

“My daughter, Vishnupriya Singh, who also happens to be a terrific writer and I was surprised that at such a young age she could write on a subject that’s heart-wrenching, realistic and terrifying all at once. When I first heard the story I was sure that this deserves to be made into a film and as they say, the rest is history,” says a proud father and also the producer of the film Dushyant Pratap Singh.

The Hundred Bucks is the story of 1 night in Mumbai revolving around Mohini, a prostitute and her autodriver. How they struggle the whole night finding customers for money, deal with cops, politicians etc only to end up with a meagre 100 bucks at the end of it all is what this film is about. It’s a gritty tale of the lives and miseries of women who choose such means to make money but even at that their struggle is no end.

                 

The film has done the rounds of many film festivals and have received thunderous response. Especially for the powerful portrayal of Mohini essayed by model turned actress Kavita Tripathi. Releasing on 21st, the film has been co-produced by Sandeep Puri , Vibhav Tomar , Pratima Totla and  Ritu Singh.
