Sindh Kitchen; Identity design, menus, leaflet and placemats; Bangalore From spices to orchards, ports to potters - Sindh is a land with a deep-rooted history. As the menu’s writing took a lyrical bend, visually, we were drawn to the topography and the historic Spice Route. Digging through dusty books and old maps we explored poetry, found mountainous stories and even chanced upon surreal expeditions taken during the Mughal Era. Likewise, the production too took a multi-layered approach exploring various print processes and traditional binding techniques. Dashes of nostalgia linger across the brand visuals, complementing the unique flavour of the North West Frontier cuisine.

Akshay Kumar to reunite with Ekta Kapoor for an action-comedy after seven years - Times of India
New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/akshay-kumar-to-reunite-with-ekta-kapoor-for-an-action-comedy-after-seven-years-times-of-india/
Akshay Kumar to reunite with Ekta Kapoor for an action-comedy after seven years - Times of India
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is one of the rare actors who have the maximum number of releases this year and next year. He is on a roll, literally! After announcing his new film recently, the actor has now signed another film with Ekta Kapoor.
According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Akshay has signed his next which is an action-comedy and it is said to hit the theatres in 2021. The film will mark his reunion with Ekta after Milan Luthria’s gangster drama ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara’.
According to a source close to the development, the duo was discussing some ideas in different genres and now has finalized this one. A Source revealed, “Akshay signed the film around 10 days ago. The logistics are currently being worked out and the script is being finalized,” revealed the source, saying the yet-untitled film is a comic caper with some action and lots of humour. “It will be directed by a debutant and mounted on a lavish scale. Like all his films, Akshay will complete this one too in a start-to-finish schedule.” It is being said that Akki is planning to have five releases next year. The source further added, “He is reading scripts and will lock his calendar in a fortnight. He does not want to restrict himself to a particular genre and has made a conscious effort to sign diverse scripts.”
Akshay will be next seen in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ which will hit the theatres on March 24, 2020. It will be followed by ‘Laxmmi Bomb’ which will release on Eid 2020. He also has ‘Atrangi re’, ‘Bachchan Pandey’ and ‘Bell Bottom’. All three films are slated to release in 2021.

★  Box Office Prediction: Movies that will make Rs. 100 cr, Rs. 200 cr & Rs. 300 cr in 2017 !
February 6th 2017
The New Year has just begun and a couple of films have already hit screens, but the big ticket films are yet to see the light of day. Like last year, this year too we at Bollywood Hungama quite literally are sticking our necks out vouching for these films, which in all likelihood will be big money spinners at the box office.
So here are the films that we expect will be making it big at the box office in 2017. But, learning from last years’ experience, this year we have further categorized the films into segments based on their estimated box office collections.
Rs. 300 crores
Tiger Zinda Hai: Salman Khan, just the actor’s name is enough to ensure collections well over Rs. 200 crore. Now, add to this, the fact that Salman will be seen on the big screen in a Yash Raj film, directed by filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar, the man responsible for giving one of last year’s biggest money spinners Sultan, and you know that Tiger Zinda Hai is already looking like a sure shot hit.
Coming to the film itself, Tiger Zinda Hai, which is a sequel to the 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger, will once again feature Salman Khan playing the role of an Indian RAW officer fighting crime. Going by the box office track record of Ek Tha Tiger, which ended its box office run at Rs. 198.78 cr, the film’s sequel that boasts of action sequences that will rival the first with an equally gripping story line surely makes it a strong contender for the Rs. 300 cr club. The movie is likely to emerge as the highest grosser of 2017.
Tubelight: The last time we saw Salman Khan being directed by ace director Kabir Khan, who has given us films like Kabul Express, New York and Ek Tha Tiger, it was for the 2015 release Bajrangi Bhaijaan. In fact, the film went on to collect Rs. 320.34 cr at the domestic box office alone.
Now picture the duo, viz. Salman and Kabir returning teaming up for yet another film Tubelight which is an Indo- Chinese production that also features Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, it is a no brainer that the film will be a sure shot blockbuster, aiming for the Rs. 300 cr club.
Rs. 200 crores
The Ring: The last two times Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma came together in the lead roles viz. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Jab Tak Hai Jaan, they collected Rs. 158 cr and Rs. 120.85 cr respectively at the domestic box office. Now considering that The Ring directed by Imtiaz Ali is said to be a romantic drama, it isn’t a long shot that the film will manage to rake in the moolah at the box office.
Shot in the scenic locales of Prague, Amsterdam and Budapest, images of the cast shooting for the film have been going viral on social networking sites since the commencement of shooting. Given the above factors, achieving a target of Rs. 200 crores does not seem to be a challenge.
Rs. 150 crores
Raees: Shah Rukh Khan in an action-packed role! Need we say more? Though we featured Raees in the list in the previous two years, the film produced by Farhan Akhtar and Riteish Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment will see the light of day this week. However, the film might face competition with the Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaabil that is directed by Sanjay Gupta releasing on the same day.
This clash coupled with the fact that since the film features Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, especially given the recent furore about featuring cross border talents in Indian cinema, Raees may face minute hurdles at the box office.
Padmavati: Last year, we saw the release of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed film Bajirao Mastani featuring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. Well, this year Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for his more than opulent films, promises to take things to the next level with Padmavati.
Assisting the maverick director is an all-star cast comprising of Deepika Padukone who has fast become an international sensation with the recent release of XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, the energetic live wire Ranveer Singh and chocolate hero Shahid Kapoor.
Bahubali 2: The Conclusion: Back in 2015, we saw the release of Bahubali: The Beginning, a film that boasted of a grand story and even bigger visual effects. By far, being one of the most advanced films of Indian cinema to release, it went on to do well not just in the south but also in other territories across India. In fact the film, whose Hindi dubbed version was distributed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, was one of their most profitable ventures in that year.
Now two years on, we see the release of the concluding chapter with Bahubali: The Conclusion hitting screens. Promising to finally answer the question that became viral sensation on social media sites, ‘Why did Katappa kill Bahubali?’, the film with high levels of anticipation is sure to do business worth around Rs. 150 cr. in Hindi language only.
Crack: The last couple of times when Neeraj Pandey directed Akshay Kumar in Special 26 and Baby, both films went on to receive not just critical acclaim but also did well at the box office. After collaborating last year for Rustom, which was produced by Pandey, Akshay will be working with the director again on Crack. In fact, just recently Akshay Kumar took to twitter confirming the same. Interestingly the actor’s confirmation soon went viral with fans keenly awaiting the release of the film.
Coupled with the fact that the combination of Akshay and Neeraj is a sure shot fire starter, Akshay has been on top of his game with three films, viz. Housefull 3, Rustom and Airlift reaching the Rs. 100 crore club in a single year.
Rs. 100 crores
Kaabil: An action film featuring a central protagonist, who is visually impaired, definitely makes for an interesting concept. Well, director Sanjay Gupta’s next Kaabil is just that. Starring Hrithik Roshan in the lead role, the film promises to be an action entertainer with high octane stunts and drama making for a perfect Bollywood potboiler.
However, considering that Kaabil is releasing on the same day as the much talked about and highly anticipated Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees, the film will have to rely on positive reviews and strong word of mouth. But, considering that the makers of the film have literally gone all guns blazing to promote the film, Kaabil looks set to make it to the Rs. 100 crore club.
Judwaa 2: Back in 1997, we saw the release of the film Judwaa starring Salman Khan. Now two decades later, we see the release of the film’s sequel Judwaa 2 that features Varun Dhawan playing a double role. Helmed once again by David Dhawan the film promises to be an action packed comedy.
Now given the fact that director David Dhawan has already proved his mettle when it comes to directing comedy films, his son Varun, who in in his own words, bases his acting skills on a combination of Salman Khan and Govinda, certainly does have the charisma to pull it off.
Half Girlfriend: Films being based on popular novels aren’t something new. After the success of 2 States, writer Chetan Bhagat’s next book to be converted to celluloid is Half Girlfriend. If the success of 2 States is anything to go by, then the adaptation of Bhagat’s second book is a sure shot winner as well.
Adding to this is the fact that Half Girlfriend will be helmed by maverick director Mohit Suri and features young stars Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. All that is left to be seen now is whether the box office business of Half Girlfriend surpasses that of 2 States.
Golmaal Again: Since 2006, we have seen the release of one instalment of the comedy series Golmaal. Now after three films in the franchise, we see the fourth instalment Golmaal Again gearing up to hit screens.
Once again featuring an all-star cast, the fourth film in the franchise has already begun to gather steam. If the current trend is anything to go by, then Golmaal Again will have no qualms collecting Rs. 100 crore at the box office.
2.0: Rajinikanth! Just his name is enough to get people queuing up outside cinema halls to watch his latest film. Now add to it, the fact that Akshay Kumar features in the film as the main villain, makes the film certainly worth a watch.
2.0, apart from featuring Akshay in a grey avatar also boasts of high octane action scenes, impressive VFX and is a sequel to the hit film Robot. This is definitely one film to watch out for this year.
Dark Horse
Jolly LLB 2: Back in 2013 we saw the release of the film Jolly LLB featuring Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani. While the film did decent business at the box office, it was highly appreciated for its unique content. Now a few years on, we see the sequel to the film being readied to hit screens this year. However, upping the tempo, the makers of the sequel have roped in superstar Akshay Kumar to top line the cast.
Now given the actor’s record of 2016 of touching Rs. 100 crore with each of his three films, it doesn’t seem like a long shot that Jolly LLB 2 may share a similar fate.
Badrinath Ki Dulhania: Starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, the film which is a sequel to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania definitely has a good level of anticipation, given that the previous film was a decent hit. Also, given that both the box office market of both Varun and Alia has increased considerably since they last appeared together and the fact that their combination is highly loved, especially by the youth, it won’t be surprising to see the film posting impressive numbers at the box office.
Baadshaho: The last time Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi came together with director Milan Luthria, it was for the popular blockbuster Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. The film still continues to have a strong fan base amongst the television audience. Given that this hit trio is coming together for yet another potboiler, Baadshaho surely has the potential to surprise one and all with its performance at the box office.
Disclaimer: Though we have categorized the films into the segments of Rs. 100 cr, Rs. 200 cr, Rs. 300 cr based on our predictions of their collections, a plus or minus 10% margin of difference can be expected between the predicted figures and attained figures at the box office.

Esha Gupta pairs up with Arjun Rampal for upcoming army centric movie Paltan!
Tumblr media
It`s been 20 years that Border movie has released on screen but its effect is still fresh in our memories! Director JP Dutta is gearing up for a similar concept in his upcoming movie Paltan
The smoking hot Esha Gupta joined the cast of JP Dutta’s Paltan. The unit is currently now in Chandigarh. Paltan depicts the storyline of the Indo-China war and focuses on the interpersonal relationships between soldiers. The film is a tribute to the Indian Army. It is a period film. Fans are already aware of the fact that Esha has fared excellently in period flicks. Be it a role of the socialite in Akshay Kumar’s Rustom or a hippie babe in Milan Luthria’s Baadshaho, which was set during the Emergency Period of the ’80s, Esha has the classy vintage vibe about her.
In the film, we will see Esha will be reuniting with Arjun Rampal after 6 years. The duo was last seen in Prakash Jha’s Chakravyuh. Esha will be seen essaying the role of Arjun’s wife.

The film is a multi-starrer with Arjun Rampal, Luv Sinha, Harshvardhan Rane, Siddhant Kapoor and Gurmeet Chaudhary in main roles. It is being backed by Zee Studios.
We would love to see border magic created on screen yet again!

Baadshaho movie review: This heist film is a train wreck
This year has seen quite a few big budget failures, that too of big stars, be it Salman Khan’s Tubelight, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal or even Akshay Kumar’s Toilet – Ek Prem Katha. So all hopes were pinned on the broad shoulders of Ajay Devgn, who is returning with Milan Luthria and Emraan Hashmi after the much loved Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. Let’s find out if the film entertains or not.
What’s It About
Set against the backdrop of 1975 Emergency period, the film is about the robbery of a truck full of gold which belongs to the queen, Gitanjali (Ileana D’Cruz). The gold is being seized by a politician in power, Sanjeev (Priyanshu Chatterjee) Gitanjali, asks Bhawani Singh (Ajay Devgn), her personal bodyguard cum lover to steal the gold in the broad daylight as it belongs to her. Bhawani Singh takes help from Dalia (Emraan Hashmi), Guruji (Sanjay Mishra) and Sanjana (Esha Gupta). However, there is one person who’s standing between them and gold, Seher Singh (Vidyut Jammwal). What happens next forms the rest of the film.
What’s Hot
The film will instantly remind you of those Amitabh Bachchan’s blockbuster of the ’70s and ’80s. There is Ajay Devgn, who carries a ‘resignation’ letter with him, in case he dies because life is all about four days and he lives every day as his 4th day. He has a great screen presence and does his role full justice. His accent, too, is on point. However, the same can’t be said about his character arc, but more on that later. Ileana D’Cruz surprised me with her nuanced performance, she’s a treat to watch. Sanjay Mishra elicits a few chuckles. However, it was Emraan Hashmi, who gets the best role and maximum cheers from the audience. After a long time, he is in his zone in this one and it can’t get better than this for his fans. He gets the best lines.
The action sequences are good. In fact, the whole first half is first rate. The heist scene is well handled and the whole planning that leads to the heist, keeps the audience hooked.
The background score adds weightage to the film and the cinematography is good too.
What’s Not
This film brings back the genre most of us enjoyed back in the day. But it breaks my heart to see Milan Luthria losing the plot midway. After an interesting first half and that interval twist, you are on the edge of your seat only to see the film go downhill from there.
The whole story about the gold heist is done in the first half itself but what after that? The second half is extremely slow and takes too much time till the climax. The whole lock-breaking scene is too long for its own good and the follow up to that scene where they are melting the gold, for some reason, is shown in detail, which is oddly satisfying but was so not required.
Vidyut Jammwal is good in his part but it’s difficult to look beyond his fake mustache, that looks straight outta local ‘nukkad naatak.’ Esha Gupta just can’t act. The scene where she cries in front of Emraan Hashmi actually made the audience break into laughter. Ajay Devgn’s character is a typical brooding hero and offers nothing new. 
The dialogue play is good but all of them were there in the trailer and the film offered nothing new.
One could’ve let it all slip away if the climax was resounding but the abrupt ending acts as the final nail in the coffin.
In the end it is the shoddy editing and execution in the second half that acts as a spoilsport. Also, anyone could have seen that twist towards the climax.
What To Do
Overall, the film is an opportunity lost, despite Ajay Devgn’s aura, Emraan Hashmi’s charisma and Ileana D’Cruz’s great performance, it’s a botched up job at best.

Wishing Ramesh Sippy many happy returns of the day. Ramesh Sippy (born 23 January 1947) is an Indian film director and producer, best known for directing the popular and critically acclaimed film Sholay. He is of Sindhi Hindu descent, with an original last name of Sipahimalani. He is a winner of the civilian honour of Padma Shri in 2013. Sippy's father was producer G. P. Sippy. His son Rohan Sippy is a film director. His daughter Sheena was once married to Shashi Kapoor's son, Kunal Kapoor until they divorced in 2004. Ramesh Sippy has been married twice; his current wife is actress Kiran Juneja. Ramesh Sippy visited the sets of the film Sazaa, his father's first film, when he was 6 years old. His first film job came at age nine, when he played Achala Sachdev's son in the 1953 film Shahenshah. He worked in both the production and direction departments in films like Johar-Mehmood in Goa and Mere Sanam, which his father was producing. He worked for 7 years as an assistant before becoming the director of Andaz, in 1971. Although this was only a moderate success, his second film Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) was highly successful. In 1975 he directed Sholay which went on to become the biggest blockbuster in Bollywood film history and won major acclaim. Sholay still remains one of the biggest blockbuster films in Hindi film history and remains one of the favourites for Hindi film audiences globally. While Sholay was a tribute to the Westerns, his next film Shaan in 1980 was inspired by the James Bond films. In 1982 he brought together veteran actor Dilip Kumar and the reigning superstar of the time Amitabh Bachchan in Shakti. While the film was only moderately successful, it won the Filmfare Best Movie Award. In 1985 he directed Saagar which was considered a comeback film for Dimple Kapadia. He directed a successful television serial titled Buniyaad which focused on the Partition of India and aired on Indian television channel Doordarshan in 1987. The last three films he directed, Bhrashtachar (1989), Akayla (1991), and Zamana Deewana (1995) were box office flops and he has since not directed any film, as of 2015. His string of hits with Amitabh Bachchan made him one of the golden directors who had a special working relationship with the actor (Yash Chopra, Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, and Hrishikesh Mukherjee being the other four). In 2005 he received the Filmfare Best Film of 50 Years award for his legendary film, Sholay. He has produced films directed by his son Rohan Sippy, such as Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), Bluffmaster (2005) and Dum Maro Dum (2011). In 2006 he produced Taxi No. 9211 which was directed by Milan Luthria. In 2008 he produced Kunaal Roy Kapur's The President is Coming as well as the Akshay Kumar-Deepika Padukone film, Chandni Chowk to China, directed by Nikhil Advani.
