National Award winning Filmmaker <keyword id="6389563" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Madhur-Bhandarkar">Madhur Bhandarkar</keyword>, who is known for his offbeat, women-centric cinema, has denied reports suggesting any nude scenes in his upcoming film "<keyword id="776900" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Calendar-Girls">Calendar Girls</keyword>." 
 
There were reports that the film had a nude scene, which was later edited out from the first trailer of the movie. However, the director has denied the rumors. 
 
"I don't know from where this report came in. Once the film is released, people will know there cannot be a scene like that in the film," the director was reported saying. The movie stars Akanksha Puri, Avani Modi, Kyra Dutt, Ruhi Singh, and Satarupa Pyne, with Rohit Bose Roy and Indraneil Sengupta. 
 
If reports are to be believed, the scene that got chopped off the trailer contained a questionable image in the background of one of the scenes. 
 
Here is the trailer: 
 
 
 
In the trailer, we see the rise and fall of five young models who pose as calendar girls. Needless to say, there is an angle of romantic relationships, and the long-standing feud of India and Pakistan has also been highlighted in the movie. 
 
It looks like Bhandarkar has once again tried to give a sneak peek into the glamour industry. In his earlier movies, Bhandarkar has showed the realities of various industries like Corporate (the business world), Traffic Signal (human trafficking and the begging industry), Fashion (the fashion industry), and Page 3 (social journalism).

Calender Girls’ first teaser released. Director Madhur Bhandarkar says no nude scenes

Like every year, Mumbai, the financial capital and the city of dreams, has been flooded with monsoon rains, and like every year, it’s got people talking. 
 
Even though they say that the city never stops, looks like the rains have come fully prepared to change this perception, with local governing bodies requesting people to stay indoors and shutting schools. 
 Just like everything under the sun, <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> celebrities had something to say about <keyword id="172016" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mumbai-rains">Mumbai Rains</keyword> as well. While some showed anger at the mismanagement of the government, some were seen sharing recent images to warn people about the gravity of the situation.

The #MumbaiRains got even Bollyood reacting and how!

The latest <keyword id="30679" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="horror-flick">horror flick</keyword> from the <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> stable has all the right credentials, but lacks just one thing. In spite of being loaded with scary clichés, it fails to scare the daylights out of you as <keyword id="500381" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ragini-MMS">Ragini MMS</keyword> did two years ago. After all, Jimmy Shergill-starrer <keyword id="1976250" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Darr-The-Mall">Darr @ the Mall</keyword> has been made by Ragini MMS director <keyword id="2076858" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pavan-Kripalani">Pavan Kripalani</keyword> (the 2011 movie was his directorial debut) and expectations were high on that score. Moreover, a sequel of Ragini MMS (directed by <keyword id="820957" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhushan-Patel">Bhushan Patel</keyword> this time) will be hitting the theatres next month and we were wondering if the ‘mall horror’ can give it a run for its money. But going by the <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword> response, Darr @ the Mall has plenty to worry about and offers very little to scare competitions. 
 Released on February 21, along with <keyword id="2075818" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Randeep-Hooda-Alia-Bhatt-starrer">Randeep Hooda-Alia Bhatt starrer</keyword> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/movies/Highway-ExploresShadow-Zones-But-Fails-To-Impress-At-Box-Office/articleshow/31008054.cms">Highway</a>, Bollywood drama Dee Saturday Night and a documentary called <keyword id="6391288" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gulabi-Gang">Gulabi Gang</keyword> (not to be confused with the Madhuri Dixit-Juhi Chawla-starrer, to be released soon), Darr @ the Mall has its task cut out. But the <keyword id="2076867" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Horror-thriller">horror-thriller</keyword>, which tells the story of a mall that unleashes its evil side on the people trapped in it, has been a <keyword id="2076872" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Box-office-bomb">box office bomb</keyword> from the start. Although it has hit more than 1,100 screens, the occupancy rate was really low – around 20% in the first three days and just 15% on the crucial Day 4. According to Box office India, the horror-thriller has netted around Rs 3-3.25 crore in the domestic market after the opening weekend. Day 4 (Monday, February 24) collections were a dismal Rs 25 lakh, as per some insiders, and that sets the tone for the rest of the week. 
 The story is a kind of hotchpotch and that might have been its undoing. Here, we have three distinct fragments that should form the thrilling whole but these are not tightly interwoven and seem to be falling apart at times. First, we have <keyword id="6747" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Manchanda">Manchanda</keyword>, the mall owner, and his board of directors spending the night at the haunted mall (as part of a publicity stunt) before the gala opening; next, we find his daughter <keyword id="510679" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ahana">Ahana</keyword> (<keyword id="647029" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="nushrat-bharucha">Nushrat Bharucha</keyword>) and her junky friends partying inside; and finally, there is <keyword id="4666" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jimmy-Shergill">Jimmy Shergill</keyword> or the 24-year-old <keyword id="274961" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vishnu-Sharma">Vishnu Sharma</keyword>, the chief of security at the mall, who flashes around his flashlight to track the evil spirits. The pieces of the puzzle lie in unravelling the past that comes alive in the spine-chilling night. But if you ask us, the fear factors are pretty predictable and won’t get you too many goosebumps. 
 
Dee Saturday Night: Repetitive without the grace The other release of the week is directed by <keyword id="513190" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jay-Prakash">Jay Prakash</keyword> and features the story of Mumbai gone bad as the city’s Richie Riches fervently indulge in drug, sex and crime (in case you can’t guess, Dee stands for <keyword id="2076881" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dirty-English-Entertainment">Dirty English Entertainment</keyword>, the culture of rich Mumbaikars). Well, if the theme reminds you of Madhur Bhandarkar’s Page 3, let’s tell you about the eye candies and moral candies thrown in generous measures to keep you engaged. 
 To cut a long story short, here you will find too many skimpily clad <keyword id="624" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Women">women</keyword> engaged in all things immoral while a determined <keyword id="1119548" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="ACP-Dhoble">ACP Dhoble</keyword> (<keyword id="177770" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arif-Zakaria">Arif Zakaria</keyword>) raids the vicious rave parties, catches the miscreants and subjects them to inspiring lectures and moral lessons. Then there is the quintessential small town girl (<keyword id="2054328" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="mahi-khanduri">Mahi Khanduri</keyword>) who is trying to hold on to her traditional values. The movie promotes good causes and teaches you some sound principles at the cost of the art called cinema. And the outcome? It’s a complete washout at the box office, not even touching Rs 10 lakh, as per Box office India. 
 
 
 
Gulabi Gang (documentary) This one has negligible <keyword id="1839596" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office-collections">box office collections</keyword> but the award-winning docu film, co-written and directed by <keyword id="1488228" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nishtha-Jain">Nishtha Jain</keyword>, is based on the real-life <keyword id="2076888" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gulabi-Gang-of-Bundelkhand">Gulabi Gang of Bundelkhand</keyword> (Uttar Pradesh). The group of lathi-wielding women vigilantes and activists was set up by <keyword id="1408081" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sampat-Pal-Devi">Sampat Pal Devi</keyword> in a bid to fight against domestic abuse and violence against women. Unlike other drab documentaries, Jain has managed to create an insightful human document that pits personal practice against ideology and exposes the shortcoming inherent in us. 
 Mohar Basu of KoiMoi sums it up beautifully when she writes: Jain carries me with her daunting <keyword id="6374782" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="journey">journey</keyword> that I will hold on to for many years probably. The instances were revolting, the tall talks about women’s morality a sham and despite the distressing situations, Gulabi Gang is a ray of hope, brimming with optimism to change the stringent attitudes with galvanising ferociousness. 
 
It could be the journey <keyword id="6354768" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Highway">Highway</keyword> has missed – a journey of revelation, realisation and an ecstatic upliftment of your inner self.

This is the first time the brand will have an Indian ambassador. This announcement comes ahead of the brand creating a new store identity for all the upcoming stores as a part of its expansion plans. <keyword id="12691932" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="u-s-polo-assn" source="Orion">U.S. Polo Assn</keyword>., Brand Ambassador, Arjun Rampal, said,“Being associated with an iconic brand like USPA is a great feeling and becoming the first Indian brand ambassador is truly an honour. U.S. Polo Assn. is known for its sport-inspired, classic American style and each season the brand takes it a notch higher. The new campaign focuses on twinning which is a fun and fashion-forward concept that captures the pure, emotional bond fathers share with their children. As a father this is what drew me to the brand.” As part of the expansion plan, the brand will release the new ‘Play Together’ campaign featuring Arjun Rampal and will also unveil the new brand look across its 392 stores in India. The new stores will have an ‘all-white’ interior with the U.S. Polo Assn. brand colours. The signature red, blue &amp; white stripes will welcome customers at the entrance. Wood, metal, and concrete detailing will further add to the overall look. As you step into each store, a ‘polo wall’ that embodies the spirit of the game draws all your attention. Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Amitabh Suri, CEO, U.S. Polo Assn - Arvind Fashions Limited, said, “Through our new campaign with Arjun, we are focussed on expanding the brand reach to the offline and online customer base. ‘Play together’ captures the emotional &amp; playful bond a father and child share by twinning their look. This thought is also reflected in the clothes and accessories we offer for both men and children. Arjun’s association with the brand draws an instant parallel to his real-life persona, making it very relatable for the audience. His huge fan base will encourage demand and excite our consumers to visit our remodelled stores that embody the spirit of Polo – classic, and cool.” The ‘Play Together’ Campaign is conceptualized by <keyword id="2914701" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wyp" source="Orion">WYP</keyword> Creatives, produced by Karma Productions &amp; shot by ace director and photographer, Bosco Christopher Bhandarkar &amp; Rid Burman. The campaign comes to live with actor Arjun Rampal through talent firm Exceed Entertainment. It showcases Arjun twinning with his onscreen child in the new Autumn Winter range by USPA. Staying true to the brand spirit, the campaign was shot in the authentic world of polo with the field full of barns, horses, and equipment. The ‘Play Together’ campaign will be out on all major print and digital platforms from 8th December and will set the tone for an exciting season ahead for U.S. Polo Assn.
