This Women’s Day Film Based On Tripal Talaq Phir Ussi Mod Par To Hit Silver Screens All Over India

This year the Women’s Day (March 8, 2019) shall assume special significance as the last cinematic creation of legendary director Lekh Tandon“Phir Ussi Mod Par . . . Talaq” which emphatically espouses the cause of Muslim Women will hit the Silver Screens all over India. It is an avant-garde motion picture based on singularly the most hotly debated topical subject in current times in India, the issue of “Triple Talaq” which features in social and media circles regularly —- a tidal wave of public opinion which refuses to ebb.

 

Much before the “Triple Talaq” became the flavour of drawing room gossip and the street corner chats “Chai pe Charcha”, Octogenarian veteran Director Lekh Tandon had toyed with the idea of making an avant-garde motion picture on the subject and launched the film in the name and style of“Phir Ussi Mod Par (Back to Square One)”. The uniqueness of the subject so captivated the veteran Director that he not only completed the script in record time but also commenced shooting at a break-neck speed in association with Kanika Multiscope Pvt. Ltd. (KMPL) and completed the film in a record time of six months. This path breaking movie promotes the expedient social cause of doing away with “Triple Talaq” so very adroitly promoted in current times. The thematic treatment of “Phir Ussi Mod Par . . . Talaq” effectively ensures that “Content is back” on celluloid.

The film is now being released by producers Trinetra / Kanika / Anshula Bajpai under the auspices of their banner Kanika Multiscope. The Producers are well-known names in their respective fields – Trinetra Bajpai is an internationally renowned Technocrat and Author, Kanika Bajpai is a celebrated theatre / television and musical artiste whereas Anshula Bajpai is a writer of repute. The songs sung mainly by Kanika Bajpai and Javed Ali create captivating sonorous music reminiscent of the era “When Melody was Queen” with a post-modern touch and are a major highlight –“Melody Returns”.

Without bothering to spend precious time in signing a huge star cast Lekh Tandon had opted for assembling a team of dedicated artistes who fitted the respective powerful roles like a glove. The carefully selected artistes included many Lekh Tandon regulars viz. Kanwaljit Singh. Parmeet Sethi, S. M. Zaheer, Govind Namdeo, Smita Jaykar, Kanika Bajpai, Rajeev Varma, Arun Bali, Haider Ali, Vineeta Malik, Sanjay Batra, Diveeya Dwivedi and newcomer Jividha as the main protagonist. Renowned Cinematographer Jehangir Chowdhury (who had been associated with Lekhji in six films), accomplished Choreographers Madhav Krishan / Jojo, Editor Awadh Narayan Singh, Art Director Chokkas Bhardwaj and Co-Director / Writer Suresh Premvati Bishnoi etc.

बीते दिनों बॉलीवुड ने कई बायोपिक दिए, जिसे लोगों ने पसंद भी किया। इसी सीरीज में अब एक और मोटिवेशनल स्टोरी  आने वाली है  “द डेस्टिनी कालचक्र”, जिसकी शूटिंग पिछले कई दिनों से मुंबई से दूर शिलौंग की खूबसूरत वादियों में हो रही है। बुधवार को फ़िल्म की शूटिंग की शुरुआत ओपेनिंग क़्लैप मेघालय के हेल्थ मिनिस्टर श्री ए एल हेक ने दिया और पुरी शूटिंग के दौरान मौजूद भी रहे । इस विषय मे विस्तृत जानकारी देने हेतु गुरुवार को शिलांग के एक होटल में प्रेस वार्ता सम्मेलन का आयोजन किया गया । फ़िल्म की कहानी निर्माता प्रोसेंजीत महापात्रा की ज़िंदगी पर बेस्ड है, जो काफ़ी सारी मुश्किलों का सामना करने के बाद एक सफल बिज़नस मैन बने और अभी इस फ़िल्म को राजेश गोयनका के साथ मिलकर प्रोड्यूस भी कर रहे हैं। फ़िल्म के निर्देशक आकाश सिंह है। फ़िल्म में साहिल कोहली, सृजीता घोष लीड रोल में हैं और किरण कुमार, प्रमोद माउथो, अरुण बक्शी, सतीश सोनकर, मुशताक ख़ान, अजीत पंडित,श्रुतिका गावकर,अक्षय सिह,लूसी,सुरेन्द्र ठाकुर, रमाकांत सिंह इत्यादि भी महत्वपूर्ण किरदार में नज़र आएंगे। फ़िल्म के पीआरओ रंजन सिन्हा व सर्वेश कश्यप हैं।

  

प्रेस वार्ता के दौरान “द डेस्टिनी कालचक्र” के निर्देशक आकाश सिंह ने कहा कि  ज़िंदगी में हर इंसान कभी न कभी मुश्किल दौर से गुज़रता हैं, लेकिन यह ज़िंदगी उसको सलाम करती है जो मुश्किलों और मुसीबत भरे हालात से लड़ता है और जीतता है। हिन्दी फिल्म द डेस्टिनी कालचक्र की कहानी भी एक ऐसे ही व्यक्ति की ज़िंदगी मे आए उतार चढ़ाव पर आधारित है जिसने बड़ी मुश्किलें को पार कर सफलता अर्जित की है। इसी स्टोरी को रियल टच देने के लिए हम शिलौंग में फ़िल्म की शूटिंग कर रहे हैं। यहाँ के लोकेशंस अद्भुत हैं और यहाँ के लोग काफ़ी सपोर्टिव।

“द डेस्टिनी कालचक्र” का निर्माण वी सी एम एंटरटेनमेंट के बैनर तले किया जा रहा है। प्रेस वार्ता के सम्बोधन में निर्माता प्रोसेंजीत महापात्रा बताते हैं कि वैसे तो बॉलीवुड में कई बायोपिक बनी है और कई बन भी रही हैं मगर यह फ़िल्म तमाम बायोपिक फिल्मो से अलग  है। यह एक सर्वाइवल की कहानी है जो बड़ा ही मोटिवेशनल है। दूसरे लोगों के लिए निर्माता की ज़िंदगी का यह संघर्ष और फर्श से अर्श तक पहुंचने की रियल कहानी प्रेरणा देने वाली है। फ़िल्म के कलाकारों ने भी निर्माता के जोश और जज़्बे को सलाम किया कि उन्होंने जीवन के कठिन लम्हो में भी हिम्मत और हौसले की डोर नही छोड़ी बल्कि लगातार मेहनत करते रहे और अंततः सफलता उन्हें प्राप्त हुई और अंत मे निर्माता प्रोसेंजीत महापत्रा ने सिलौंग के प्रशासन को भी धन्यवाद दिया जिनके सपोर्ट के बिना यहाँ शूटिंग करना सम्भव नहीं था।

Hon’ble Vice President Shri Venkaiah Naidu inaugurates EPSI’s B-Schools Leadership Conclave in New Delhi

Intl Conclave to Deliberate on Indian Business Education Challenges to Create Future Leaders

Hon’ble Vice President of India, Shri Venkaiah Naidu was the Chief Guest and Prof. Eric Cornuel, Director General and CEO, European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) was the Guest of Honour.

Dr G Viswanathan, Founder & Chancellor, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Dr H Chaturvedi, Alternate President, Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI), and Dr M R Jayaram, Chairman, M S Ramaiah Group of Institutions were part of the inaugural session of the conclave.

 

The conclave has a thematic focus on ‘Business Education 4.0: Futurizing Indian Business Schools’.

New Delhi, 28.02.2019: Acknowledging that the business education in India is standing at a cusp of change, hon’ble Vice President of India, Shri Venkaiah Naidu today highlighted the need for public-private partnership (PPP) to promote quality education through innovation at the inauguration of the EPSI’s B-school Leadership Conclave at The Claridges, New Delhi today.

“We cannot depend on conventional teaching, we have to shift to innovative teaching pedagogies like case studies, simulations, open online courses such as MOOCs, use of technology like laptops and mobiles, and disruptive technologies such as AI in classrooms. However, despite innovative practices, almost 20 per cent of the Indian population is still illiterate. This calls for an urgent action in addressing illiteracy, especially in rural India, so that the stepping stone to higher education is laid,” Chief Guest Hon’ble Vice President of India Shri Venkaiah Naidu said in his inaugural address.

Insisting that Indians should change their mindset towards business, Shri Naidu praised the role of some of the leading B-schools like BIMTECH, XLRI, ISB, Narsee Monjee, etc. in bringing this change and talked about the significance of family businesses. “Business schools should include case studies of successful family businesses as a part of their curriculum. We should adopt already existing business models and develop our own model that would suit Indian ethos. At the same time, business schools should also impart strong business ethics and morals in their students,” he said.

He quoted Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who underlined the importance of “Reform, perform and transform” in higher education. Shri Naidu said, “During past few years, India have extensively worked on facilitating the ease of doing business in the country. As a result, the nation is poised to become the third largest economy in the world. It is self-evident that trained human capital is a vital strategic input for creating wealth and the growth of GDP of a country. India’s economic growth creates a tremendous potential for generating employment and offering a greater opportunity for doing business.”

Prof. Eric Cornuel, Director General and CEO, European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) was the Guest of Honour at the inauguration where other dignitaries included Dr G Viswanathan, Founder & Chancellor, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Dr H Chaturvedi, Alternate President, Education Promotion Society for India, and Dr M R Jayaram, Chairman, Gokula Education Foundation were part of the inaugural session of the conclave. The conclave will be held till 28 February, 2019 and has a thematic focus on ‘Business Education 4.0: Futurizing Indian Business Schools’.

“Business education today is more entwined with the world’s socio-economic situation – globally, economic inequalities are on a rise and middle-class is rapidly shrinking; we need to ask if traditional education is enough to make the youth employable,” says Prof. Eric Cornuel, Director General and CEO, European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD).

“Education is an important subject for any developing economy but unfortunately not for us. It is time now that we offer free education to all; we can start with free education to girls,” says Dr G Viswanathan, Founder & Chancellor, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT).

“We are proud to have the Vice President among us today. This conclave is an excellent opportunity for educators and industry representatives to come together and chart out a plan for the B-schools,” says Dr H Chaturvedi, Alternate President, Education Promotion Society for India.

The first plenary session talked about new jobs, new skills, and new curriculum to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s future. The other plenary sessions discussed rethinking the learning experience and leveraging technology in business education. The plenary session on 28 February will discuss regulatory policy for developing futuristic B-school in India.

India is likely to play a significant role in Asia’s development as it is projected to become the second largest economy in the world by 2030. Indian business schools too are ready to embark on this journey and become more relevant globally. This conclave is an exclusive opportunity for business school leaders to discover, evaluate, and refine concrete steps towards this goal.
