Hind Rock n Roll” The documentary will be webcast as bi- weekly episodes on www.nyootv.com

Mumbai, August 25, 2010: NyooTV; India’s first Online Social TV announces a documentary series on the journey of India’s most loved band Euphoria through their landmark music videos. The series will be called “Hind Rock n Roll” and will be produced by Mr. Gaurav Mendiratta, Founder and President of NyooTV. This is a unique initiative by NyooTV in association with Euphoria to create exclusive content and provide their followers with never before stories and experiences related to the videos of 14 classic Euphoria songs.

Fronted by doctor rocker Palash Sen, Euphoria has always had a special place in the hearts of Indian music lovers with hits like “Dhoom” “Maaeri” “Gully” and “Mehfuz”. They are known as the biggest and the most prolific band in the subcontinent, with 4 chartbuster albums, a “best of” compilation record, hit singles and live concerts across the globe. Euphoria is known for their earthy and fresh music videos, which were instrumental in launching the careers of famous Bollywood actresses like Neha Dhupia, Rimi Sen and Vidya Balan.

The documentary will be webcast on www.nyootv.com in a series of 14 bi- weekly episodes, approximately 10-15 minutes in duration. The first episode will be webcast on the 17th of September 2010. This date coincides with the release date of the first ever Euphoria promo, “Dhoom Pichuck Dhoom” which took the world by storm on the 17th of September 1998. Shot in Varanasi, this video introduced Euphoria and marked the coming of age of popular film maker Pradeep Sarkar, who has directed films like “Parineeta” and the latest blockbuster, “Lafangey Parindey”. The other directors included Dibakar Bannerjee of “Love Sex aur Dhokha” and “Khosla ka Ghosla Fame”, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Dhiraaj Bannerjee and award winning documentary film maker Vikram Mishra.

The episodes will be available for free viewing on www.nyootv.com and will be bundled with contests and exciting prizes like autographed CD’s, tickets to Euphoria concerts and a chance to meet Dr. Palash Sen and the band.

Commenting on this venture, Mr. Gaurav Mendiratta, Producer of the documentary and Founder and President of NyooTV.com said, “We have always believed in giving premium quality content to our viewers and are focused on providing them with what they want. We noticed that there is a lot of curiosity and demand to have Euphoria’s popular music videos on www.nyootv.com and hence we approached Dr. Sen to acquire the necessary permissions for the videos. We wanted to offer our viewers a lot more than just the videos, so we decided to produce this documentary series. We are sure that a lot of people will appreciate this venture as this is a nice way to relive old memories for both the band and their fans. We are really looking forward to telling this story to the viewers and reintroducing them to their favourite band. ”

Expressing his views on this initiative, Dr. Palash Sen, Youth Icon and lead vocalist of Euphoria said, “The only thing permanent in life is change. People spend more time surfing the internet than in front of TV’s, and so the medium of entertainment has changed. Our music is timeless and it is like a journey and we have so many fellow travellers. I know the Euphoria caravan will grow with NyooTV. It is a pleasure to know Gaurav. Like minded, progressive and part of our caravan. I know he'll carry our music to millions of internet junkies around the world. Hope all will sing along, dance along and Dhoom with us through our journey.”

Watch Rajnikanth New Movie - Endhiran Trailer on NyooTV

Endhiran is a forthcoming Tamil science fiction film with Southern Superstar Rajnikanth and Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai
Endhiran is a forthcoming Tamil science fiction film with Southern Superstar Rajnikanth and Bollywood beauty Aishwarya RaiEndhiran is a forthcoming Tamil science fiction film with Southern Superstar Rajnikanth and Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles and directed by S. Shankar. Music maestro A. R. Rahman has given the background score for this film. The film is being produced by Kalinidhi Maran and is all set to be a record breaker of sorts. The film will have the record of having the highest budget ever in Indian cinema and will also be the largest worldwide release for an Indian film. The film was under filming for over two years and is in the post-production stage now. It has a generous dose of special effects which fans will love. Endhiran will be released with its dubbed versions, ‘Robot’ in Hindi and ‘Robo’ in Telugu. The film’s music was released in July, 2010 in a dazzling function in Malaysia.

Endhiran is Superstar Rajanikanth’s film that comes after a long gap. He has a double role where he plays the roles of a scientist and a robot. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays his love interest, while Bollywood actor Danny Denzongpa plays the villain in the film.

Rajanikanth plays a scientist who creates a Robot with artificial intelligence similar to that of a sixth sense in humans to help human beings and for the development of the country. But its silicon heart falls in love with Aishwarya Rai, writes romantic poems and the Robot behaves just like a human being. Knowing about the extra ordinary intelligence of the Robot, the villains try to get control of the Robot. Scientist Rajni fights to save the Robot falling into the hand of the enemies and destroys the evil forces using the Robot itself.

The film was earlier slated for a release on the 10th of September, but Sun Pictures, the producers of this film have advanced the date to 3rd September. One of the highlights of this film is that Rajinikanth would be seen without his famed moustache in most parts thereby making him look much younger. The last time director Shankar and actor Rajinikanth came together they created magic with Sivaji - The Boss. Hope that Endhiran - The Robot manages to live up to its hype and breaks all Box Office records when it releases later this year.

Viewers can check out the trailer of Endhiran at NyooTV.com, which is one site where viewers can watch trailers of latest films.

Akshay Kumar promotes Khatta Meetha

Akshay Kumar was recently seen promoting his upcoming comic caper, ‘Khatta Meetha’ in Mumbai. Akshay Kumar, who plays a construction engineer in the film, was spotted looking at potholes and climbing road rollers on the roads of Mumbai. After a series of not-so-successful films, the actor is riding high with the moderate success of his film ‘Housefull’. Let us hope that Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar can create magic with Khatta Meetha as they did in ‘Hera Pheri’.

Apart from Akshay Kumar in the lead role, adding to all the fun and laughter will be Rajpal Yadav and Johny Lever, both established comedians. The film is a remake of Priyadrashan’s 1990 Malayalam film Vellanakalude Nadu’. The film has Southern starlet Trisha in her debut role in Bollywood as she plays Akki’s love interest. According to sources, her role in the film is quite challenging as there are two facets to her character. The film is based on June 2009 murder of Bihar PWD engineer Yogendra Pandey who was killed by Bihar’s road mafia.

Akshay Kumar is well known in the industry for his Marathi speaking skills. This time he is putting it to good use as he plays a Marathi Manus, Sachin Tichkule in the film. Following the foot-steps of Sanjay Dutt and Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar will also debut as a singer in this film. He will be seen singing a song in Marathi, ‘Nana chi Taang’ which will be rephrased as ‘Teri Aisi Ki Taisi’ in Hindi. Ace music composer, Pritam is all set to create magic all over again with his lilting tunes. The song ‘Nana chi Taang’ a combination of rock and Maharashtrian music is bound to strike a chord with the masses and go on to top the charts!

Priyadarshan is a well known filmmaker in the Malayali film industry, ‘Mollywood’. He is known to make remakes of Malayali films in Hindi. He made his foray into Bollywood with the film ‘Gardish’ in 1993. Priyadarshan’s films are known to be family entertainers with technical brilliance in cinematography and background scores.

Vikas Bhalla Music Album Akhiyan on NyooTV

Vikas Bhalla Music Album Akhiyan on NyooTV

‘Akhiyan’ is an unreleased love ballad by Vikas Bhalla. It is a beautiful soulful folk number from the soils of Punjab which has Vikas at his melodious best, with his own interpretation of the haunting melody. This single is being released by Times Music and can be viewed exclusively on NyooTV.com, which promotes all music releases by Times Music.

Vikas Bhalla is an Indian actor and singer. He made his acting debut as a lead actor with the film ‘Sauda’ in 1995, opposite yesteryears actress Neelam, which sank without a trace. After this, he tried his hand at several other films. Unable to create a place as a lead actor, he continued with his acting spell with supporting roles. He shifted his focus to the small screen with serials like ‘Apne Paraye’ and ‘Shanno Ki Shaadi’, which was a very successful show. He also featured in a few other popular shows like, ‘Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin’ and ‘Karishma – The Miracle of Destiny’

After his stint with acting, Bhalla moved to singing. Being a trained Hindustani classical singer, he released albums like, Awaara, Dhuan, ‘Mehak Teri’ and ‘Saajish’. His Indi-pop debut album ‘Dhuaan’ comprising the track ‘Hai Dhuaan Hai Dhuaan’ held high esteem by remaining on the charts even one year after release. ‘Mehek teri’ was a romantic album, which he released next. He also sung two songs for the film, ‘Marigold’ which was an international production and had music by the musical trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

Actors turning singers has been a long standing trend in tinsel town. Even in Hollywood, actors from Jennifer Aniston, to John Travolta to Jim Carrey, have all done it! It has been no different back home here in Bollywood. We have had many B-town stars who have tried their hand at singing for their films. Some of them include, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Arbaaz Khan, and the latest to join the bandwagon is Akshay Kumar for his upcoming film, ‘Khatta Meetha’.

KBC 4, this time comes with a few changes. This time the show comes with a new broadcaster. It will be telecast by Sony Entertainment Television, while earlier it was aired on Star Plus. Besides, the format of the show has also been changed to add some zing. The show will be much faster with the number of questions being reduced to twelve from fifteen. There will also be a timer for the first 7 to 30 seconds to answer or the clock stops you. There are some innovative options for phoning a friend for help. There will be three experts from various fields on call and you can talk to them as options for an answer. They will appear on TV live as opposed to a voice.
