For that matter even in the advertisements as well, JAIL has been used as a subject, underlining the subconscious association of JAIL with our psyche. After all, JAIL has been an integral part of our freedom struggle and there would be a family that does not have an association with the jail.

It was not so the case earlier, where at the most the posters of the films would be adorning the walls only few days before the release of the film was the norm. Interest in the film can only be created if there is an innovation in it, and the poster of KURBAAN that has been released where Kareena Kapoor is bare back has indeed created storm in the world of Hindi cinema as far as creating hype about a film is concerned.

Indeed for one wrongful act life of a law-abiding citizen is shattered and it becomes physically impossible for him to pick up the pieces of life once again. JAIL also tries to trace the same and is a reality check for the urban citizens of the present times who are not at all aware about what goes inside the jail. The educated elite has cocooned himself from the notion of JAIL Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:47:22 +0530 http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/09/nov/04-ajab-prem-Ki-ghazab-kahani-110909.asp It rarely happens that a supposed on-screen romantic pairing could cause break up in the real life. Well, it actually has. AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI when it would be releasing could bring down the curtains on romance of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone if grapevine is to be believed, and the supposed cause Katrina Kaif. Katrina Kaif is playing the role of a girl who is madly in love with the idea of love in AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI, and Ranbir Kapoor is the lead actor who wants to spread happiness all around. Or could it be a marketing gimmick to market this love story?

Interestingly enough the story is built up more so when a famous star is hired for an advertisement campaign. After all, the costs have to be justified, and it can only be done when the campaign narrates the story.

On his 44 birthday, the jury may still be whether he is a consummate and complete actor or not, one thing nobody can deny that Shahrukh Khan is indeed the modern urban face of the Indian cinema. He does not have pretensions about not having played a character having rural underpinnings, but he has given a new direction to the manner in which urban cockishness and exuberance can be expressed on the silver screen.

Within the country it would be a specific city, while when the subject line tries to bring in a foreign connection to the story, it would be one of the biggest cities in the world. In the world of Hindi cinema Mumbai nee Bombay plays the role, and whenever a foreign connection has to be shown for a film, it is London that fits into the bill. Release of LONDON DREAMS provides an opportunity to trace the linkage/association of Hindi films with London.

THIS IS IT which has released today, would be one of the rarest films that would be on in cinema halls only for a fortnight and it seems as a tribute to the cult image that he created for himself, THIS IS IT has already grossed more than $ 20 million in a single day, and it is indeed a monumental record for a film, considering the fact that it is a documentary film that has been made on the significant milestones in Michael Jackson's career.

Paradoxically, Hollywood which caters to the audiences who do not have a faith in magic and occult, whenever makes an attempt in this direction, it is met with a resounding success. Can ALADIN therefore buck the trend and establish a honeymoon with the audience, more so with the children?

From using Radio as a medium of communication to promote the film, where he used Asin to promote the film through interactive sessions with the Live Radio audience to arranging live press conference for the journalists in the overseas segment, which is one of the most remunerative sectors for filmmakers these days.
