| Bachchan family unites in Paris to attend Le Salon Du Cinema | |
 You saw Anil Kapoor and A.R. Rahman at the Golden Globe Awards and you could not stop cheering them on. You also put your hands together for Shahrukh and Karan Johar while they walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes. Now please give a standing ovation for the Big Daddy of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan. Reason? Read on.Le Salon du Cinema (Cinema Fair) in Paris is playing tribute to Indian Cinema for their new edition yesterday, 15 January 2009, with Amitabh Bachchan being the guest of honour joined by his wife Jaya Bachchan, son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter in law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, are organizing a Whie Night of his movies. What's interesting is that apart from movies like Ramesh Sippy's Sholay and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black being screened, Salon du Cinema discussed the choices with Big B and he personally wished to present Sarkar and Sarkar Raj in the French viewers too. The movies will be screened at the Fair in Paris for about 400 audiences (professionals, distributors and local viewers) on a first come first basis. Our source also learnt that the Salon du Cinema could have chosen Indian movies already distributed in France but Sarkar and Sarkar Raj for them from a part of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan's best world in the recent past and believe that the movies can easily reach the European audiences. 15th evening will see a lavish opening ceremony celebrating Amitabh Bachchan's work. On the 16th Jan, prominent speakers such as Pan Nalin and Shubho Shekhar talk about Indian Cinema today and co production between India and France, and on the same day at about 8.15 pm Paris time, Sarkar Raj will be presented to the world viewers with Big B gracing the occasion followed by a dinner with the organizers team. We tried to get in touch with the director of Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, Mr Ram Gopal Varma but he was unavailable for comment. What we did get our hands on was a note from Ramu on Sarkar which reads: The God Father is a movie which has influenced me a lot. I have lived with that story for 25 years ever since I have read the book. The movie struck a strong reasonance across the worldwide audience because people like Sarkar exist in every country on the map. They could be political leaders, underworld dons, dictators or kings..all of them have the same story. The Sarkar films are about framing and showcasing the aura of power. Each and every aspect of filmmaking be it music or screenplay or cinematography were employed for one and only purpose that is to capture the intensity in the actor's eyes, through which we see a world of high drama be it politics, treachery, passion, courage, revenge, realationships or love. We do feel that it would have been good to see all the three top directors, Mr Ram Gopal Varma, Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Mr Ramesh Sippy along side the Bachchan's at the Salon du Cinema celebrating what is and will be considered to be Amitabh's top three performances of his acting career. Nevertheless, it is a big achievement for the Indian cinema. http://www.filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=9116 |
