Muvizz.com turns festival partners for an upcoming film ‘ALIF’

Mumbai 19th December 2016: Muvizz.com, video on demand (VOD) platform has collaborated as the festival partners for an upcoming feature film, ‘ALIF’. ‘Dozakh In Search Of Heaven’ famed director Zaigham Imam is coming up with his new work ‘ALIF’ which is slated to release early next year. After producing short-films like Taandav and Kriti, Muvizz.com is supporting this film which strongly raises important questions about the Muslim education system and indo-pak relations, promoting the tagline of the film "ladna nahi padhna zaroori hai”.

Starring veteran actress Neelima Azeem and narrated by Smt. Jaya Bachchan the film recently screened at film club of Aligarh Muslim University, Glocal University, Saharanpur, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar etc received an exhilarating response. The film has already bagged best screenplay and best child actor awards at 3rd Bioscope global film festival 2016. The film screened as world premiere at Indian international film festival of Queensland Australia. To add to the film’s accolades it won award at Khajuraho International Film Festival held yesterday.

Mr. Piiyush Singh, COO & Co-Founder of Muvizz.com said, “ALIF is a unique film and the plot of the movie has a lot of significance to our society. ALIF is unlike mainstream films, yet it is a complete package of entertainment with a social cause. We’ve always backed films that are content driven, ‘ALIF’ represents the kind of cinema we stand for. We are very hopeful the film will receive huge appreciation once it hits the screen.”

The film is set in the backdrop of a muslim majority area of Benaras, where Hakim Raza lives with his orthodox family. He aims to make his 10 year old son a doctor and enroll him in a quality school however the reminiscence of old riots fright him as they all live with Hindu locales. His life takes a turning point after his sister; Zahra comes to India from Pakistan and insists him to enroll Alif in a good school. This causes tension with his neighbor and seminary teachers who start threatening Hakim and persecuting Alif with false reasons as they want him to become a scholar of Quran while Hakim and Zahra want him to become a doctor.

The director of the film, Zaigham Imam, a former journalist wrote two novels DOZAKH and MAIN MUHABBAT. In 2014, he made his first feature film called "Dozakh In Search Of Heaven” (based on his own novel) which received global recognition. Regarding ‘ALIF’ the director quoted, “Many tales are caught in our mind until we do not say them, ‘ALIF’ is a similar story. Living in a society with humanitarian tragedies, hatred, religious hypocrisy, and political propaganda, will we ever be able to understand that to improve this world and make it beautiful it is essential to bring harmony between us. As a producer, writer and director choosing ALIF was not too difficult for me because this film brings the positive form of life and expresses its struggle which is the basic human quality. In today's date, ALIF brings morale to humanity and the entire race which is a matter of utmost relief for me.”

Muvizz.com has been backing innovative content films right from its inception. The platform recently gave backing to various projects such as the documentary on Late. Mr. Jagjit Singh, the remake of Albert Pinto ko Gussa Kyu Aata Hai, Taandav and Kriti. The platform aims to assist filmmakers at every level to gain global exposure while encouraging diversity, creativity, and innovation in the process.

&TV - More than a guest, I felt at home on the show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain” - says Ravi Kishan

More than a guest, I felt at home on the show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain” - says Ravi Kishan

Bangalore, December 01, 2016: &TV’s Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai Weekend special has been enthralling and entertaining its viewers with many A-lister guests being a part of the show. In the upcoming episode of the Shanivaar special the viewers will get to see a power packed episode with Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishan. He will be seen entertaining the viewers with his famous dialogues as well as his epic dance moves. In a candid conversation, the Bhojpuri star spoke about his experience on the show and what he has to say to his fans

&TV More than a guest, I felt at home on the show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain” - says Ravi Kishan

How was your experience shooting for &TV’s popular show Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai?

It was a great experience and I enjoyed shooting with everyone. More than a guest on the show I felt at home, as though I shoot everyday with them and work with them on daily basis. Everything on the show was so well coordinated; the shoot, the tracks, the dance sequence everything. I thoroughly had a gala time shooting with everyone on the set right from the director to the actors. They were very welcoming and it was an experience I would never forget.

Do you watch the show?

Of course I do watch the show. It’s my family’s favorite show. I’m so aware of everything in the show right from the mohalla to the benches to each and every room and all the characters

If given a choice whose character would you like to play Vibhuti or Tiwari?

I personally feel that both the characters are so well established and appreciated by the audience I wouldn’t want to replace either of them because they are so good at their work. No one can pull of the role better than them, not even me.

What surprise is in store for your fans and the viewers of the show?

The look of the show is going to be very different as we have given a Bhojpuri tadka to it. I will be seen dancing to a lot of my old Bhojpuri numbers that all my fans will love watching. It’s going to be a very interesting mix of fun, entertainment and comedy.

Would we get to see you on television again with a show or something?

I’m honestly very busy shooting for my movies but as I love television I prefer doing cameos in shows as it gives me time to manage both my movies as well as the show.

Have you ever come across an instance where you are in a situation like the concept of the show, where you have fallen for your neighbor?

No, never have I ever come across such a situation in my entire life and all these concepts look good just on screen where one can laugh about it. One can’t afford having such a situation in real life (laughs)

Tune in to Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai Shanivaar Special this December 3rd, Saturday at 8pm only on &TV
