‘SAMEER’ to Premiere at New York Indian Film Festival 2017

Mumbai, April 26 2017: Filmmaker Dakxin Chhara’s upcoming film Sameer is all set to make its World Premiere at the prestigious New York Indian Film Festival to be held on May 6, 2017.

Sameer features a stellar cast comprised of Zeeshan Ayub (of Raanjhana, Raees fame), Anjali Patil (of Mirzya, Newton fame) and Subrat Dutta (Talaash). Back in 2008, filmmaker Dakxin Chhara set out with a camera to capture the devastating scene of the series of 21 bomb blasts that had shaken the city of Ahmedabad. That particular incident and meeting the victims made him take the decision to bring this important story on screen. 

Starting the film’s journey at NYIFF, Dakxin Chhara, the director of Sameer says “In this day and age, it is a sad fact that terrorist attacks have become a part of our daily lives. Sameer is a powerful story about the brutal reality of our times, a gripping tale of how terror can take over the lives of ordinary citizens. We are thrilled to have our world premiere in New York with this special film, and plan to bring it to our audiences at home soon after.”

The film was recently in the news as it was on the receiving end of one of Indian Censor Board’s more bizarre decisions. The line “Ek mann ki baat kahoon? Tum character accha bana lete ho!” was scrapped from the movie because it includes ‘mann ki baat’ which is also the title of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio show. 

Sameer, presented by Nomad Movies Pvt Ltd, is slated for its theatrical release across India in July 2017.  More... http://www.filmytown.com/sameer-premiere-new-york-indian-film-festival-2017/

Mirzya - movie review


If you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt… only love
Mirzya is an epic love story that plays out in contemporary times – inspired by the folk tale of “the legend of Mirza – Sahiban. Mirzya’s stunning visuals keep you hypnotized and take you to a different world all together.
This fantasy romantic thriller has the basic premise inspired by the Punjabi folklore of Mirza Sahiban. We have heard of Heer Ranjha and Sohni Mahiwal. In the folk lore story of Mirza-Sahiban, the couple meets with a tragic ending. So does this film.
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra the director presents the age-old story in a radical, modern understanding of the tale. The story telling goes into flashback mode repeatedly narrating those significant milestones in the lives of the lovers. Read more: http://www.filmytown.com/movies/mirzya-movie-review/
