Yesterday Ahmedabad saw the preview of Gujarati film,
Canvas – Rang Jindagi Na. The buzz for it had kept us engrossed enough to catch
it on its premier night.
Canvas, Rang Jindagi Na is a movie that vouches for its
name. Just as a portrait is covered with many colors, the lives of characters
are painted with life colors. From college students to the daily struggle of
lives, the film has captured it all.
Canvas, a Gujarati film speaks about artists and their
lives. The film recently released its trailer, which is promising.
That Filmy Girl team was following it & its pages
since many days. Being in Ahmedabad, the film’s grand music launch had left us
speechless. This film has definitely set up standards for Gujarati Cinema.
The lovely and soul lifting music with meaningful lyrics
is what we need these days. Even if we compare it with some latest Bollywood’s
songs, we are sure you would pick up Canvas. The song speaks for the film.
The fact that Haider is based on Hamlet made me curious to
watch it, as soon as it is released. So, what was next? I booked my tickets and
sat out for Haider show. While watching the movie, my mind was judging the
similarities, dissimilarities between the movie and the Shakespeare’s play. I
was constantly comparing the story and the plot and trying to judge which one
was better.
What I had thought to be a re-telling of Hamlet, turned out
to be a different story in itself. Yes, Haider is an ‘Adaptation’ of Hamlet and
not a copy of Hamlet. And for this originality and awesome story, Vishal
Bhardwaj secures all 100 points from me.

SANAM band formerly known as SQS Project recently
launched their new video ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha’ (Acoustic) version. The song is a
cover of the original version, filmed in the Bollywood movie, ‘1942 a love
story.’
The Acoustic version has been sung besides water and
is simple yet alluring. The four guys from SANAM viz Sanam Puri, Samar Puri,
Keshav and Venky ft Sanah are dressed in casuals and occupied with what they do
best – guitar, drum etc. The song’s lyrics have been kept as they were and still
you will feel that this is a different song.
You can call his song a magical experience, created
by these four charming guys and you have to agree they know there job well. The
striking feature that I found worthy was the simplicity of the video. Without
much ado about anything, the song comes as a fresh visual and vocal artistic
representation. The background location does not shift all through the song, and
that is what provides us a raw and real feeling.
Listen it once and you can never forget the mesmerizing
effect, it leaves on you. And, of course looking and listening to four cute guys
is really a treat for the eyes. If you have not listened to their Ek Ladki Ko
Dekha (Acoustic) version yet, here is the link to it:
A

The lead vocalist of the SANAM group, Sanam Puri has
made his debut in Bollywood with song ‘Dhat Teri Ki’ in the film, ‘Gori Tere
Pyar Mein.’ The next song that added to his acclaim was ‘Ishq Bulavaa’ in the
film, ‘Hasee toh Phasee.’

which become the title track for the film, ‘The Amazing Spiderman 2.’ Other
than these, SANAM has sung many other songs and acoustic versions. They have also

weapon.
