By Danielle Douglas-Gabriel f you’re sporting a heart-rate monitor while bang- ing out your last set of push-ups in a class of three people, you’re on the cutting edge of fitness. I Even if you just manage to do one of those you’ll be on trend for 2015, a year that trainers say will be defined by a return to basic exercises and the continued integration of technology. We’re not about to say goodbye to CrossFit or high- intensity interval training, the pop stars of 2014. But health experts expect people to gravitate toward work- outs they can do anywhere and look for ways to judge their performance this year. So much of what’s anticipated to blow up in 2015 has been around for a while, but some of the following trends may play an even bigger role in your fitness routine this year: Gym class hero Remember all of the pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups you did in high school gym class?

  • KEVIN HART Biography If There's One Thing Kevin Hart Can Do, It's Sell Shoes. If There's One Thing Kevin Hart Can Do Bette
    viewpoint KEVIN HART biography If there’s one thing Kevin Hart can do, it’s sell shoes. If there’s one thing Kevin Hart can do better than sell shoes, it’s explode into one of the foremost comedians and entertainers in the industry today. After an electrifying performance at amateur night in a Philadelphia comedy club, Kevin quit his shoe salesman job and began performing full time at venues such as The Boston Comedy Club, Caroline’s , Stand-Up NY, The Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. However, it was his first appearance at the Montreal Justfor Laughs Comedy Festival that led Kevin into roles in feature films. Hart’s recent movie projects include Universal’s Fide Along 2, which grossed over $100 million worldwide, Screen Gems’ The Wedding Ringer, opposite Josh Gad and Warner Brothers’ Get Hard, opposite Will Ferrell. The consummate worker, Hart is also a force in television, executive producing the show, Real Husbands of Hollywood which has just begun production on Season 5. In addition, Hart embarked on the multi-city domestic and international WHAT NOW comedy tour. Domestically, he sold out 8 tristate area arenas, including Madison Square Garden, Barclays, Prudential Center and Jones Beach, selling over 100,000 tickets in the NY market. He was also the first comedian to sell out an NFL stadium, selling over 50,000 tickets in one show. Internationally, he sold out over a dozen arenas in the European market, selling over 150,000 tickets, and sold out arenas across Australia, selling 100,000 tickets.

  • Gangs of Wasseypur As an Active Archive of Popular Cinema
    M A D H U J A M U K H E R J E E Of Recollection, Retelling, and Cinephilia: Reading Gangs of Wasseypur as an Active Archive of Popular Cinema This paper studies Gangs of Wasseypur (Parts 1 and 2, 2012) as a definitive text via which Anurag Kashyap’s style became particularly provocative and pointed. While a range of films (both directed and produced by Kashyap) seemingly bear a certain ‘Kashyap mark’ in the manner in which they tackle subjects of violence and belligerent speech with an unpredictable comic sense, I argue that, more importantly, these films work within a particular visual framework with regard to its mise-en- scène (including the play of light, camera movement, modes of performance), as well as produce recognisable plot structures (involving capricious and realistic events), settings and locations (like the city’s underbelly, police stations, etc.), and so on. Indeed, Kashyap has made a set of films—including Paanch (unreleased), No Smoking (2007) and Ugly (2014)—which deal with similar issues, and explore contemporary cityscapes, especially Mumbai, with fervidness, thereby commenting on urban dystopia.1 Furthermore, these films speak to what has been analysed as the ‘Bombay noir’ mode by Lalitha Gopalan, by means of thoughtful art and set design, engaging (and often hand-held) camera movements and swish-pans, uses of blue or yellow filters, character prototypes, and reflective performances, which generate a world that is engulfed by a deep sense of disquiet and distress. This paper draws attention to such stylistic explorations, especially JOURNAL OF THE MOVING IMAGE 91 to the ways in which it has developed through Kashyap’s recent films.

    [LISTED] THE UNDERDOG TURNED SUPERSTAR ANURAG KASHYAP, GUNEET MONGA, NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI, RICHA CHADDA, VIKRAMADITYA MOTWANE Text Shahnaz Siganporia Photography Ishika Mohan Motwane N THE INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY, there are good and bad words. ‘Un- derdog’, ‘struggler’, ‘starlet’ are clubbed into the ‘bad’ category while I words such as ‘Superstar’, ‘100 Crore Club’, ‘legacy’ fall into the ‘good’ category. However, sometimes the two combine to form a heady cocktail. The starlet bags a 100 crore film and the underdog becomes the superstar. The latter is a tricky balance—there’s the formulaic superstar and then there’s the superstar who paves his or her own way and creates cinema that goes way beyond the norm. Over the last few years, the tides have been busy changing, contorting and transforming our home-grown film industry. And let’s face it, in an industry raking in the moolah, thanks to wish-fulfilment and feel- good stories, we’re suckers for the runt who becomes the alpha. In the 100th year of Indian cinema, Platform celebrates the erstwhile underdogs who have gone on to carve out a space for themselves and have begun their ascent to stardom.

    INDIAN OTT PLATFORMS REPORT 2019 New Regional Flavours, more Entertaining Content INDIAN TRENDS 2018-19 Relevant Statistics & Insights from an Indian Perspective. Prologue Digital technology has steered the third industrial revolution and influenced human civilization as a whole. A number of industries such as Media, Telecom, Retail and Technology have witnessed unprecedented disruptions and continue to evolve their existing infrastructure to meet the challenge. The telecom explosion in India has percolated to every corner of the country resulting in easy access to data, with Over-The-Top (OTT) media services changing how people watch television. The Digital Media revolution has globalized the world with 50% of the world’s population going online and around two-thirds possessing a mobile phone. Social media has penetrated into our day-to-day life with nearly three billion people accessing it in some form. India has the world’s second highest number of internet users after China and is fully digitally connected with the world. There is a constant engagement and formation of like-minded digital communities. Limited and focused content is the key for engaging with the audience, thereby tapping into the opportunities present, leading to volumes of content creation and bigger budgets. MICA, The School of Ideas, is a premier Management Institute that integrates Marketing, Branding, Design, Digital, Innovation and Creative Communication.
