Since July Last Year, Film-Maker Rajat Kapoor Has Been Exhorting His Two-Lakh-Plus Followers on Twitter to Crowdfund His Next Project: RK/R Kay
FILM AgonyThe Kapoor Since July last year, film-maker Rajat Kapoor has been exhorting his two-lakh-plus followers on Twitter to crowdfund his next project: RK/R Kay. The budget of the film is `2.5 crore, and he needs 50,000 people to give `500 each. Which begs the question: why is one of India’s finest independent film-makers perennially short of cash? BY EKTA MOHTA omeone needs to gift Rajat Kapoor a book on how wire the money. And, most recently, for another of his scripts, Kadakh, to win friends and influential people. He’s already a the producer “ran away before the shooting started. But, somehow we gifted screenwriter, film-maker, theatre director and managed to finish the shoot anyway.” actor. But, given recent events, no one can deny he Kapoor is now ready with a script called RK/R Kay, which has a needs help as a salesman. “slightly mad” plot. It’s a film-within-a-film in which the fictional lead Kapoor has written and directed six films: Private character becomes a person in real life. He needs `2.5 crore to make it, SDetective, Raghu Romeo, Mixed Doubles, Mithya, Fatso! and Ankhon but given his history, he isn’t knocking on the doors of film producers Dekhi. His signature is to make entertaining films in an artistic way, for the dough. “They (producers) read the script, and they reject it,” which is why film critics are usually pleasant towards him, such as he says, without any trace of heartburn. “They say, ‘It’s very nice, but Shubhra Gupta, who wrote in The Indian Express, “He is one of the not for us.’” What of the producers who have already worked with few Indian directors who understand whimsy.” But, in a classic case of him? “Sunil Doshi produced Mixed Doubles and Bheja Fry, and then self-sabotage, Kapoor has a knack for attracting creatives and repelling he stopped the business.

Producer Manish Mundra Is Indie Cinema's Unlikely Hero
http://www.business-standard.com/article/specials/producer-manish-mundra-is-indie-cinema-s-unlikely-hero- 115031201069_1.html Producer Manish Mundra is Indie cinema's unlikely hero It takes 140 characters and a rock-solid script to convince petrochemicals businessman Manish Mundra to finance a film. Here's more about the producer of films like Ankhon Dekhi and Umrika Ritika Bhatia March 14, 2015 Last Updated at 00:19 IST The chance interaction between film maker Rajat Kapoor and Manish Mundra on Twitter a couple of years ago has, by now, assumed the status of a legend in independent, or indie, film circles. Kapoor vented at the lack of producers willing to back authentic scripts, and Mundra, a complete stranger and outsider to films at the time, tweeted back saying he would produce his film. “He didn’t believe me at first, but then he sent me the script of Ankhon Dekhi,” Mundra tells me on a late night Skype call. “I come from a big family and I could relate to many experiences fleshed out in the script. So I instantly agreed to finance it.” The Sanjay Mishra-starrer took home the Best Film (Critics’ Choice), Best Story and Best Male Actor (Critics’ Choice) honours at the Filmfare awards last month. Mundra proved a knight in shining armour again a few months later, when Swati Shetty of Samosa Stories reached out to him on Twitter for the financing of her debut production venture, Prashant Nair’s Umrika. The film starring Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi) and Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel) recently became the first Indian film to win the audience award at the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States.

India is the World’s Largest Democracy The Indian Election of 2014 was the Largest Election in the History of Mankind 814,500,000 voters. 930,000 polling stations. $ 5,000,000,000 budget. Newton, a rookie clerk on election duty in the conflict ridden jungle of Chhattisgarh, tries his best to conduct free and fair voting despite the apathy of security forces and the looming fear of an attack by Maoist rebels. Maoist Conflict Map ] SYNOPSIS As India, the world’s largest democracy, braces itself for another general election- with 9 million polling booths, more than 800 million voters, and costing nearly $5 billion -- Newton Kumar, a rookie government clerk finds himself entrusted with a task that appears deceptively simple: conducting elections in a remote village in the jungles of central India. The bushes teem with Communist guerrillas, who have been waging a decades old war against the state, even as the indigenous tribals live without any access to mainland amenities. Conducting ‘free and fair’ elections in a minefield like this is no child’s play, as Newton learns over the course of this eventful day. Unfazed with the cynicism and danger all around him, Newton is determined to do his duty. But, as they say in the jungle, ‘The more things change, Source: Institute for Conflict Management, South Asia Terrorism Portal the worse they will get’. PRINCIPAL CAST ] RAJKUMMAR PANKAJ ANJALI RAGHUBIR RAO TRIPATHI PATIL YADAV Rajkummar Rao plays Newton, Pankaj Tripathi plays Atma Anjali Patil plays Malko, a local Raghubir Yadav plays Loknath, a young rookie clerk on Singh, the head of security Gondi clerk also working on the an easygoing clerk in Newton’s election duty in the jungles at the polling booth, often election with Newton.

Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Masaan'
5/23/2016 Neeraj Ghaywan’s ‘Masaan’ Receives Love and Applause at IFFLA Neeraj Ghaywan’s ‘Masaan’ Receives Love and Applause at IFFLA It was also screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival and won two prestigious awards. [Photo Credit: Facebook/MasaanTheFilm] Neeraj Ghaywan’s “Masaan”—screened at the Indian Film Festival Los Angeles (IFFLA)—garnered great appreciation and applause. The movie, which colloquially means shamshan, shows us the real Varanasi — a town that is caught amid the spiritual history to live up to and the changing ideas and beliefs of the youth as a result of increased exposure to technology which has taught people to question the rigidity of several ancient practices like caste system and burying sexual desires until one gets married. In the movie, when a local girl Devi Pathak (Richa Chaddha) dares to take a step to experience her sexual freedom, it ends up becoming a tragedy. She is a computer literate who chooses to get a room with her love interest Piyush. The story also weaves in the tale of Devi’s father, portrayed by Sanjay Misra, and Deepak, a lower caste boy studying civil engineering whose family has been in the profession of burning dead bodies in the shamshan (Hindu crematorium) and a chirpy Shalu, a Hindi-Urdu poetry lover belonging to the upper class. http://www.india.com/arts-and-culture/neeraj-ghaywans-masaan-receives-love-and-applause-at-ifﬂa-1136613/ 1/3 5/23/2016 Neeraj Ghaywan’s ‘Masaan’ Receives Love and Applause at IFFLA Masaan Ofcial Trailer | Richa Chadda, Sanjay Mishra, Vicky Kaushal & Shw..
