Mumbai, Jul 15 () On the ninth anniversary of "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", director Zoya Akhtar and cast members Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, and Katrina Kaif on Wednesday remembered shooting the film in Spain as the "best time ever". "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", a buddy road film, released on July 15, 2011, and also starred Kalki Koechlin, Deepti Naval and Naseeruddin Shah in key roles. Reminiscing the journey of making the film, Zoya said she would love to shoot the film again for old times' sake. "Can't believe it's nine years already. I remember every single day of that shoot. I was lucky to work with my favourite artists in the cast and crew. "Form friendships that will stay for life, grow up as a film maker.. and have an affair with Spain. If I could be taken back in time, I would choose to experience this shoot again!" the director said in a statement. She also shared a behind-the-scenes picture from the film sets on Instagram, captioning it as "Miss this shoot so so much". Commenting on her post, Hrithik said, "Things that make you wanna shout out. AAAI LOVE YOU GUYS !!! Truly the best times ever (sic)." "Uff! I'd make this film all over again just be back on set," added Abhay. Farhan said he is indebted to the audience for loving the film over the years. "Miss this shoot. Miss the crew. Miss their madness. Forever grateful to the universe for the experience of this film and for the love you continue to show it. Big hug. #9YearsOfZNMD," he wrote on Instagram. Katrina commented on Farhan's post, saying, "The Best." Besides impressive acting performances by the cast and a breezy soundtrack by composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the film is remembered for showcasing picturesque locales in Spain, such as Barcelona, Pamplona, Bunol and Andalusia.

<ul><li>Cult.fit’s latest campaign ‘Fitness is not an option’ gives a hilarious twist to famous Bollywood scenes.</li><li>However, its ‘Jaa Simran Jaa’ advertisement has been taken down from YouTube after being flagged by <keyword id="36603" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="yash-raj-films" source="Orion">Yash Raj Films</keyword> for violating copyright.</li><li>In a statement sent to Advertising and Media, Cult.fit says that the advertisement was produced and released after all due diligence. </li></ul>Cult.fit’s latest advertisement that introduced a hilarious twist to the iconic scene from Shahrukh Khan and Kajol starrer <keyword id="88064" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dilwale-Dulhania-Le-Jayenge" source="Orion">Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge</keyword>, has been taken down from YouTube. It featured a reenactment of the ‘train scene’ from the film. The video was flagged by Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s Production Company, Yash Raj Films for violating copyright. YouTube’s error reads, “The video contains content from YRF, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.” In its campaign, 'Fitness is not an option', the female protagonist, who reenacts Simran from DDLJ, can be seen running towards the hero, only, she is too unfit to get onto that train, something many of us leading such unhealthy lifestyles will relate to immediately. As Simran makes a dash for the moving train, she starts panting and wheezing. She gives up and tells her partner that she will catch the next train to meet him the next day. Cult.fit has also deleted the advertisement and announcement posters referencing DDLJ from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The campaign is produced by Supari Studios. However, Cult.fit said that the advertisement was released after all due diligence. "At Cult.fit, our focus through various marketing campaigns has been to resonate with our audience and create something relatable and memorable. We often lean on popular culture which has time and again proven to be impactful. We've taken a similar approach for our latest campaign - ‘Fitness is not an option’. The ad was produced and released after all due diligence done from our end. The response to it has been exceptional overall and we amassed over a million views on Instagram in less than 48 hours," Cult.fit's spokesperson told Advertising and Media Insider. The same campaign also puts a twist to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’s (ZNMD) last scene ‘The Bull race.’ It features comedians Rahul Subramanian, Aadar Malik and Rahul Dua as Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol. <div type="Youtube" id="xAB3CZC1BcI" title="Fitness Is Not An Option (cult.fit)" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xAB3CZC1BcI/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Although, the once-bitten brand played it safe this time. Despite clear resemblance with ZNMD characters, it added a disclaimer that says, “The production is only for promotional purposes and all characters herein are fictitious and similarity with an actual person, living or dead, is purely coincidental.”

Any movie can be fun when you are watching it with your friends. But if you have no big plans for this <keyword id="6736220" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Friendship-Day">Friendship Day</keyword> or you are sitting miles away from your buddies, we have a plan for you. How about a movie marathon – some Bollywood flicks to be precise – that shout friendship like no other? Here is a list of five great movies that will take you back to your very own Jai-Veeru moments and bring a smile on your face. Watch them and enjoy. 
 
1. <keyword id="6407374" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sholay">Sholay</keyword> 
Talk about friendship and the first Bollywood movie that comes to your mind is the cult classic, Sholay, directed by Ramesh Sippy. One of the reasons why Sholay is still a treat to watch is the joyful camaraderie between <keyword id="16007" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jai">Jai</keyword> and <keyword id="127989" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Veeru">Veeru</keyword> – it’s the flavour of all seasons and one of the main themes of the movie. Played by superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, the friendship between the two became synonymous with all that is selfless, eternal and full of fun and frolic. The partners in crime perfectly complement each other and remain inseparable till death takes tears them apart and leaves us teary-eyed. 
 
2. <keyword id="6609528" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dil-Chahta-Hai">Dil Chahta Hai</keyword> 
Aakash (Aamir Khan), Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) and Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna) are childhood friends who are out to enjoy their lives. But a lot of unforeseen emotional turmoil changes them forever and give a deeper meaning to their friendship. Directed by Farhan Akhtar, this is a coming-of-age story of three friends whose witty conversation and deep bonding made Dil Chahta Hai one of the best friendship films ever made in Bollywood. 
 
3. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 
One of the most popular romantic flicks of Bollywood and Karan Johar’s directorial debut, this one focuses on friendship and its many hues, culminating in love. Rahul and Anjali (Shah Rukh and Kajol) are the best of buddies. They argue, they fight but at the end of the day, they are the best friends who eventually become life partners, proving that they complete each other. Love is friendship – that is what the film has endorsed and the lead duo’s on-screen chemistry has brought that phrase to life. 
 
4. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara 
With ‘seize the day’ as its theme, this film tells the story of three friends who try and overcome their fears in the course of a road trip that is enriching for them and entertaining for the viewers. Director Zoya Akhtar has been applauded for bringing out the ‘bromance’ stupendously on screen. The trio, played by Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol, walked away with the laurels for making the audience remember their old friends and the carefree days they spent together. A must-watch film on this Friendship Day. 
 
5. Cocktail 
A good friend and his friendship have the power to transform you. That’s what happened in this Homi Adajania movie as the ‘party girl’ Veronica (Deepika Padukone) undergoes a sea change after meeting the meek and docile Meera (Diana Penty). While Veronica gave shelter to homeless Meera, the latter filled her life with love that was missing from her life. A nice chick flick for the day as you sing Chadi mujhe yaari teri aise... jaise daaru desi!

<ul><li>According to an ET report, <keyword id="3820" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>’s Jio has slowed down its plans to acquire and produce original content for web series and films are pending management approval </li></ul><ul><li>Jio which also has plans to go public to raise money, is awaiting some fund flow before it can get into the business. </li></ul><ul><li>Jio’s content platform Jio Cinema is miles away in popularity from the reigning trio—Netflix, Amazon Prime and <keyword id="2739840" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hotstar">Hotstar</keyword>. </li></ul><keyword id="6354504" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-jio">Reliance Jio</keyword>’s plan was never to just sell data, but to take over the entire content universe. In fact, long before it launched in the 4G services, <keyword id="6355199" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-industries">Reliance Industries</keyword> was a part of a multi-layered deal between Network 18 and Enaadu TV, adding scores of movies, TV series along with news channels under its fold. Yet, it looks like its core telecom business has taken precedence over its plans to grow in the content space. According to an Economic Times report, Mukesh Ambani’s Jio has slowed down its plans to acquire and produce original content for web series and films are pending management approval. These plans are on hold until funds flow into this business. As content business is capital intensive, Jio which also has plans to go public to raise money, is awaiting some fund flow before it can get into the business. “The plans are ready and the teams are in place, but the hold-up is in the investments (into Jio) ,” sources told Economic Times. This is in spite of Mukesh Ambani’s statement at the annual general meeting last year. Their video consumption went up to 3.4 billion hours per month from 1.6 billion hours in 2018. “Doubling of these metrics at such scale is truly unparalleled. Our customers are actively engaged with us for more than 290 minutes per day on an average,” Ambani said at 2018 AGM. It is only natural that he brings this content viewership also home, into his own apps to create more value. But that dream is a bit far off. <keyword id="128682" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Netflix">Netflix</keyword>, Amazon &amp; Hotstar Jio has made few strides in the OTT space, after it acquired music app Saavn in 2018, and also saying that it would invest $100 million in it. The merged entity now has since been rebranded as JioSaavn, which claims to have 50 million songs in its kitty. Jio also has its own content platform, Jio Cinema which has movies along with TV series and clips. In spite of showcasing old TV series, movies and even new-age web series produced by AltBalaji, it is miles away in popularity from the reigning trio—Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hotstar. In addition, international content providers or OTT platforms are also going the extra mile to produce original India content, making it tougher for a newer Indian player to hold attention. These international players are putting money and star power behind their original content. While Netflix launched Leila starring Huma Quereshi in addition to ultra popular Saif Ali Khan-starrer Sacred Games and movies like Chopsticks which starred Abhay Deol, Amazon Prime too has spent millions on its new-age web show called Made in Heaven, Mirzapur after Four More Shots Please. Hotstar too launched its original series Hostages starring Tisca Chopra and Criminal Justice with actor Vikrant Massey. It is also doing an Indian version of popular US show The Office in Hindi. With this kind of money flowing into original content, delayed plans may affect Jio’s plans to have a lion’s share of digital offerings in the market.

Popular Travel Movies Of Bollywood That Changed Life

Mumbai, <keyword id="2600924" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rajveer-deol" source="Orion">Rajveer Deol</keyword>, the younger son of <keyword id="9271" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sunny-deol" source="Orion">Sunny Deol</keyword>, says his family was not in favour of him joining the movie industry because of its unpredictable nature. Rajveer is making his acting debut with romantic drama "Dono", which also launches veteran actor <keyword id="346" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="poonam-dhillon" source="Orion">Poonam Dhillon</keyword> and producer Ashok Thakeria's daughter Paloma. The film is directed by first-time filmmaker Avnish, who is <keyword id="146044" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sooraj-Barjatya" source="Orion">Sooraj Barjatya</keyword>'s son. "My parents never wanted me to become an actor. They wanted me to study and do something else. It's because this industry is so unpredictable. You are happy for a second and (feel) miserable the next. "In fact, my father got a hit ('Gadar 2') after 22 years. But unfortunately, I fell in love with acting," Rajveer told reporters here at the trailer launch of "Dono", which was attended by his grandfather Dharmendra, uncles Bobby Deol and Abhay Deol and father Sunny Deol. Rajveer said he fell in love with acting because he was surrounded by actors and thought "this is how you got the bread home". "I was always influenced by movies and loved acting. I felt one could just disguise themselves in the characters. So, this is what I wanted to do. My family advised me to work hard. They told me not to be a star and become an actor first as the characters will get more work and that is what I want to do," he added. Rajveer said his father Sunny Deol taught him to "never give up". "What dad has taught me is dedication and determination. He has the strongest back ever, he carries his whole life on his back..." Sunny Deol, who was present at the event, said he has seen "Dono" and as a parent he is full of pride, joy and confidence but he also feels scared. Dhillon said both the newcomers look good on the screen. "I was so happy that they were coming together after Sunny and I did such amazing films together, and people liked us onscreen a lot. They too (Rajveer and Paloma) look good together. I'm happy with the pairing because that's half the battle won when you compliment each other," she said, adding, she wants the two young actors to recreate the look of her and Sunny's 1984 film. Paloma said her parents have always supported her with her decisions. "I'm lucky because my parents have been supportive of anything that I do ever since I was a kid. When I decided to tell them that I'm serious about this profession, I don't think they expected it, but obviously they expressed how difficult this line is, how much goes into this craft and profession. I hope I'm making them proud," Paloma added. Rajveer said he consciously chose to make his debut with a romantic drama as people expected him to follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps and pick up an action film. "You need to have your own individual stamp in this industry, otherwise they expect you to follow your dad or grandfather's traits. I really liked the subject (of 'Dono') when Avnish narrated it to me because it was so different to what people would expect me to choose. "Like, they would expect me to choose to beat 100 people up, scream, and have a big body. I was in love with the craft and I love acting. I notice if I get typecasted in that, then it is not a good idea. It is important to have your own individual stamp in this industry," Rajveer said. Barjatya, the filmmaker behind hits such as "Maine Pyar Kiya", "Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!" and "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", said he would have been equally happy had his son chosen education or medicine. "They chose films, so, of course, there's another feeling of pride. Their future only depends on hard work because hard work is your bread and butter. I told Avnish that when we receive love from people, it comes in abundance, so we need to be very grateful and full of value," he said. Avnish said he wanted to ensure that the film aligns with his father's legacy. "I had to see the legacy of my father, Sunny sir, Poonam ji, Rajshri brand, so that responsibility was always there in the back of my head. I couldn't take this opportunity lightly. (I wanted to) make a film that they all can be proud of," he said. "Dono" releases theatrically on October 5.
