“A film is a film when it sears your soul and still leaves you smiling. Shiv Shastri Balboa is one such simply told dream tale about how we all need a reboot in our lives,” says Presenter Tarun Rathi of Rajnandini Films, who is looking forward to this trending feature film hitting the theatres, this Feb 10.

Rathi  is a known social figure in the film and social activism sphere alike is part of the Dharam Censor Board as well as the VP — Film Development Council (MOS).

Wearing multiple caps is no easy task, but Rathi does it with effortless ease.

Averring that it is time socially conscious films with the mantra of entertainment as original background score are the need of the hour, Rathi says  “when my friend Ashutosh Bajpay, an amazing actor-executive producer-human being rolled into one, brought to me the Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta film

Brought to life by him and Kishore Varieth along with Anupam Kher, I was more than happy being a part of it. We need such films. Seasoned veterans like Anupam and Neena take a script to another level. In this case. We had Ajayan Venugopalan, the director behind the hit Metro Park series, plus young talents Nargis Fakhri. Sharib Hashmi and Jugal Hansraj; it was a sureshot winner. Above all was the fact that Shiv Shastri Balboa is about the victory of sheer human spirit and how by uplifting others, we elevate ourselves.”

Shiv Shastri Balboa, starring Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Jugal Hansraj, Nargis Fakhri, Sharib Hashmi, is Presented by UFI Motion Pictures Pvt Ltd — Kishore Varieth, Anupam Kher Studios and Tarun Rathi, Producer: Kishore Varieth, Executive Producer: Ashutosh Bajpay, the film is Written and Directed by   Ajayan Venugopalan and is making a dent on the marquee, this Feb 10.

Actor Anupam Kher and the team of Shiv Shastri Balboa treated Mumbai Dabbawallahs to a sumptuous lunch as an ode to the goodness of the Dabbawallahs who feed the entire Mumbai city seamlessly.

Actors Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Sharib Hashmi, Nargis Fakhri, presenter Tarun Rathi, executive producer Ashutosh Bajpay, Asha Varieth and team joined hands  to lead this initiative. The Dabbawallahs also launched an amazing poster of Shiv Shastri Balboa that is being talked about as the spice of life adventure film.

The dabbawallah delivery  system incidentally is six sigma certified — that means only one error in six million deliveries.

To understand the precision with which the Dabbawallahs deliver these dabbas with home cooked food, Harvard University had taken it up as a case study and the results left them astounded.

Shiv Shastri Balboa team decided to treat the unsung heroes that feed the society, wanting “giving back” to become a universal movement, and enable us to utilise our power to touch the lives of the less fortunate.

Uday Singh’s Gun Tour Blazes Into India

Sandip Soparrkar is one of the most respected and notable choreographers in Bollywood. He is an absolute maestro in the field of dance because of his flawless and effortless choreography style and his long experience in this field of dance and of course, his theatre arts that have earned him the experience and expertise in this industry.

Mr. Soparrkar recently performed theatre drama “Ghat Ghat Main Panchi Bolta Hai” along with Ahsaas Channa, Harvinder Kaur, Indu Sharma, Mahima Mishra, Padma Damodarnan, Satchit Puranik, Shruti Mishra, Swaroopa Gosh and Taranjiy Kaur. The Show was presented by Sakshi, produced by SBOX, Directed by Smita Bharti, produced by Natashaja Rathore & Michelle Herry & Choreographed by Ashutosh Arya.

While talking to media Mr. Sandip Soparrkar said, “Pedophilia is a taboo in our country and world over, many suffer in silence, I am humbled that Smita Bharti ji made me a part of such a revolutionary play that talks about the unspoken things in our society.”

Packed at double its capacity, the versova based performance studio, Lé Chakallas, was brimming with audiences at the opening night of ‘Ghat Ghat Mein Panchi Bolta Hai’. In solidarity with #16DaysOfActivism to end Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG), the play, written and directed by the award-winning playwright, Smita Bharti, is a series of interconnected letters in the form of monologues by 9 characters, set in one triggering night.

Produced under the ‘Stage For Change’ initiative of SBOX by Sakshi (Regd. NGO 1992), Ghat Ghat Mein Panchi Bolta Hai is an effort to support the United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women initiative (UNiTE), which calls for global action to increase awareness, galvanise advocacy efforts and share knowledge and innovations to end VAWG once and for all.

Speaking about the device, Smita Bharti states “Writing letters to each other is a lost art, and a powerful one that travels inwards and out; expositioning conscious positions and subliminal fears. The play explores these notions buried deep in the recesses of our mind, which come alive when we give ourselves the space and time. This series of letters tying isolated decisions taken by 9 characters over a lifetime into a cohesive whole, traverses the stories they tell themselves and live out with others; with secrets that fester and gloom that corrodes.”

Talking about the choreography Ashutosh Arya said, “Through dance I had to show the life of Sanjay a Pedophile played by Sandip sir, it was not easy as intricate relationships details had to be depicted though movement, I am extremely thankful to Smita ji for the untrusting the belief in me.”

Sandip Soparrkar is getting huge critical acclaim and there are some theatrical performances by him which one must see to understand his truly exceptional acting skills.

Most of the audience was seen rushing to the theatres simply because of the cast who was showcasing it and we will be damned if  he wasn’t always one of those few names! It was always his theatre performances that pulled the audience to the stage and he had a huge hand in making theatre arts so profound and famous.
