Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran on Tuesday said the Hindi film industry post the 1990s has been pathbreaking in taking Indian cinema to the world, and regional language films will forever be indebted to it for showing the way.

Prithviraj, who has directed Malayalam cinema superstar Mohanlal in L2: Empuraan and also plays a prominent role in it, releasing this Thursday. Replying to a question on lessons that Hindi cinema, which is going through a dull phase, needed to learn from other industries, Prithviraj praised Bollywood and said every industry goes through different phases.

“There is a lot for everyone to learn from everywhere. I understand the conversation and praise around Malayalam cinema of late. But make no mistake it was not too long ago that we were sitting across tables in Kerala and thinking, ‘How is Hindi cinema doing this?’ “It was a time not too far back when maverick filmmakers like Anurag (Kashyap), Vikramaditya Motwane and Hansal Mehta burst onto the scene and started making content that made us think ‘wow’ .Yes, Malayalam cinema is going through a great phase, but these phases happen to every cinema periodically,” the actor-filmmaker said at a promotional event for Empuraan.

Prithviraj said he would not be surprised if, a couple of years later, people were once again praising films coming out of Bollywood. “But one thing that most aspirational about Hindi cinema post the 90s is how it has taken its cinema to the world. Hindi cinema has been absolutely pathbreaking in taking in taking Indian cinema to the world and in helping people around the world discover the content we create in this country. For all the regional languages, however much pan-Indian success we achieve, we will forever be indebted to Hindi cinema for having shown us the way,” he said.

Pookutty further explained that while every child is unique, many struggle to recognize their own talents. Often, due to societal or family pressures, they do not receive the opportunity to nurture their abilities. He highlighted that the collaboration with the Government of India is focused on skill development to help young people discover and cultivate their potential. He advised the youth to first evaluate their interests before choosing a career path, as selecting a profession aligned with their passion will allow them to excel and succeed.

It is also important to note that the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS), with support from the Government of India, is soon to be formally inaugurated. During this announcement, Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skill Development Council (NSDC) and Managing Director of NSDC International (NSDCI), addressed the media, sharing that the institute’s mission is to uncover the inherent potential in every child across the country and present it to the world.

Providing more details about the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS), Mr. Tiwari highlighted that the institute offers world-class facilities. It is equipped with top-tier mentors, and most importantly, it is part of the Skill India Mission. Those who acquire skills here will receive certificates from Skill India. A wide range of skills will be taught under one roof, and in the future, similar institutes will be established across the country.

Dr. Mohit Soni, CEO of the Media and Entertainment Skills Council (MESC), congratulated the participants of the three-day ‘Delhi Creators Summit.’ He emphasized that IICS stands out due to its world-class infrastructure and professional trainers. He believes that the institute will undoubtedly succeed in providing a global platform for individuals aspiring to build a career in the film and media industry.

Dr. Mohit Soni emphasized that students at IICS will have the opportunity to build successful careers through specialized training in various fields, including the School of Performing Arts and Media Management, School of Sound and Music Production, School of New Age Media, School of Creative Communication, School of Digital Content Creation, and School of Events and Experiential Media.

Film producer and IICS Chief Mentor Ketki Pandit shared her perspective, stating that every video creator is, in essence, a filmmaker. IICS aims to nurture their talents, enhance their technical expertise to meet global standards, and offer them employment opportunities through our projects, empowering them to achieve financial independence and stability.
Yasmin Rogers, a renowned makeup artist with significant experience in Bollywood and international cinema, highlighted a gap in the industry—there is a shortage of professional makeup artists available for outdoor film shoots. As an IICS mentor, she emphasized that the institution will provide employment opportunities to youth trained here, both nationally and internationally, while also ensuring the quality of their training is up to industry standards.

Dr. Akhil Kumar, speaking about the ‘Delhi Creators Summit,’ shared that the event brought together creators with a wide range of follower counts, from those with millions of followers to those with just a few thousand.

With a following of 1.5 million, Dr. Kumar expressed IICS’s commitment to continuing to support youth development through such events.

The highlight of the evening was the presence of celebrated choreographer-actor Ganesh Acharya, who graced the occasion alongside the young lead cast, Shushant Thamke and Jaanya Joshi. The event was filled with energy and excitement as the team interacted with the media, sharing their enthusiasm for the film, which is set for a grand theatrical release on March 21, 2025.

Ganesh Acharya at the event said, “While I was shooting for Pushpa 2: The Rule, director Shiv Hare approached me with the story of Pintu Ki Pappi. The moment I heard it, I found the concept incredibly unique and immediately agreed to be a part of it—on one condition: that my wife, Vidhi Acharya, would produce the film. As we developed the story further, we discovered that Shushant was the perfect fit for the role of Prashant, fondly called ‘Pintu,’ while Jaanya beautifully brought to life the character of Prerna, lovingly referred to as ‘Pappi.’ And that’s how we arrived at the title—Pintu Ki Pappi.”

Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, and V2S Productions, “Pintu Ki Pappi” promises to be a rollercoaster ride of fun, romance, and comedy. The film features a stellar ensemble cast, including seasoned actors Vijay Raaz, Murali Sharma, Sunil Pal, Ali Asgar, Puja Banerjee, Aditi Sanwal, Ria S Soni, Urvashi Chauhan, Pyumori Mehta Das, Mukteshwar Ojha, and Ganesh Acharya himself in a special role.

Adding to the film’s charm is its vibrant music album, composed by a talented lineup of musicians—DR. NITZ a.k.a Nitin ‘NITZ’ Arora, Sonny KC, Prasad S, Shafaat Ali, Sonal Pradhan, and Ankit Sharma–Abhinav Thakur. The soundtrack is expected to be a major highlight, bringing a youthful and peppy vibe to the narrative.

With its engaging storyline, promising debutants, and an experienced supporting cast, “Pintu Ki Pappi” is gearing up to be a delightful watch for audiences of all ages.

Mark your calendars for March 21, 2025, and get ready for a fun-filled cinematic ride!

These days, while the top banners of the industry are experimenting with something different in the film industry, there is no dearth of young makers who are trying to take cinema on a new positive path on their own. Now one more name has been added to this list, that of director Avinash Das, who came into the limelight with the film ‘Anarkali of Aara’, whose new film ‘In Galiyon Mein’ is in the news these days among a special class of audience and in social media. This film is a tribute by a son to his father, the famous writer Vasu Malviya. Vasu’s son Punarvasu has written the screenplay of this film and he has also written most of the songs of the film. I remember the sweetness of the songs of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s hit film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, which is also present in the songs of this film. These songs make this film completely different from the common masala films of Mumbai. The opening tune of these songs has also been composed by Punarvasu. In my view, this film is a gift to the best Hindi literature.

Made under the banner of Yadunath Films, most of the shooting of this film has been done around Lucknow.

Story Plot

The story of the film revolves around three characters. This simple story of two narrow lanes, Ram and Rahim Gali, is a story of total brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims and the people of both the lanes playing Holi together on the day of Holi. In this lane, Hari Ram and Shabbo sell vegetables by putting up a hawker. Shabbo does not have parents, so Hari lives with his mother. In this lane, there is a tea and kebab shop of Mirza Sahib Javed Jafri, where all the people of Ram and Rahim Gali meet together. Mirza Sahib is a poet and gives the message of love to everyone. He sows the seeds of conflict and hatred among the people living in the lane. Netaji, who is contesting the MLA election from here, plans to show the match between India and Pakistan by installing a big screen in the lane so that he can cause a riot in Ram and Rahim Gali during the result of this match. Does this plan of Netaji succeed or not? No, come to ‘In Galiyon Mein’ to know this.

Overall

Javed Jafri, Ishtiaq Khan, Sushant Singh, Avantika Dasani, Vivan Shah, Rajiv Dhyani, Himanshu Bajpai are the main actors of this film but Javed Jafri is the backbone of the film, his excellent acting is top notch, if you are fond of great films, you like good songs and music and want to watch a film based on a story connected to the ground, then you must go to this lane, this film of less than two hours duration will keep you hooked from start to last seat, and not only UP but every state government should make this film tax free which gives the message of love between Hindus and Muslims in this Holi season.

Young director Akshay Chaubey and young writers Pranav Sachdev, Ashwin Varman and Akshay Chaubey shot this series on the formula of learning love and, in simple words, how to impress girls for those men. This series was shot at the most beautiful locations of Delhi NCR and it was planned in advance that this series made on such a bold subject should be aired on the special occasion of Valentine’s Day. When the first two episodes of this series were shown in this multiplex, the audience of every age group present in the hall applauded loudly and made it clear to the makers and stars of this series present here that their efforts are completely successful.

In this series, the popular pair of Sandeepa Dhar and Pranav Sachdev are in the lead roles, while the mature acting of experienced actors like Mahesh Balraj, Alisha Chopra, Babla Kochar made this series even more spectacular.

If we talk about the story of Pyaar Ka Professor, then this story is of a young man Vaibhav from a middle class family of Delhi. Vaibhav spent his childhood amidst the distance between his mother and father and quarrels over every small thing. Despite the complete contradiction of each other’s thoughts with his father, Vaibhav chose his own path. Now Vaibhav is teaching body language and how to date a girl to such men who are not able to even talk to girls due to lack of confidence. Vaibhav’s such coaching classes run at night.

An unexpected turn comes in Vaibhav’s life when an extremely angry politician who wants to win the election but does not shy away from breaking the hands and legs of his opponent, now Vaibhav gets the task of totally changing the body language and style of this leader. Mallika, the beautiful young wife of the leader who is half his age, is also trying to change her husband so that he can enter the field of politics and win the election. Can Mallika and Vaibhav change this angry leader who dreams of winning the election on the strength of his goon brigade? To know this, meet the Professor of Love. Of course, the makers have made this series for the audience above 16 years of age, but there is nothing that we consider wrong for viewers younger than this in this Professor of Love or advise them to stay away from it.

When we asked Vivek about his journey from IBO i.e. Indian Box Office to IPO, Real Estate, his answer was that I have learnt from my parents since childhood that whatever you do, do it with complete honesty, hard work and dedication. I and my family are spiritual. We all always thank God that he has given us so much. My every day starts with the temple built in the house. We all start our routine work only after doing Puja.

Vivek says that today I have a family of about 400 people in UAE. I consider every staff member associated with my business as a member of my family. It is the result of the hard work of all of them that today we have 9 companies registered with SEBI and in the next two-three months we are registering four more companies. Today we have about 20 real estate projects in Dubai, all of which are luxury style. Today the net worth value of our companies is more than 1200 thousand crores. Investors from India and abroad have so much faith in our every project that most of our projects get sold even before completion.

Vivek says that there was a time in my film career when tears would come in my eyes, then my mother would say that along with wiping your tears, start wiping the tears of others too, your tears will stop automatically, I only know this much that never break the trust of anyone who has trusted you, I will never let the trust of the investors and customer
