You will get to see the pure essence of love, compromise, failure, betrayal and life in this film. With a great effort and teamwork, this project is ready to take a race within the multitude of films. We did our best to bring the original ambience related to the characters, costumes, locations and the making.

The Director, Ravindra Singh has done a kudos job with the making. Having so much field pressure, tough script language, different period and culture, periodical locations but he still held his nerves and have done justice to the script. The characters in the film have a very close resemblance to the real characters that existed.

The film has been shot in Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Lucknow, Aligarh, Delhi, and Mumbai.

The main attraction, which will play an important role in the film, is its music. After a long period, this type of music is being presented which will refurbish the mind with every single track. Every song has its own style and passion, which reflects the emotion of the sequence.

The famous Ghazal maestro Talat Aziz has given the music as well as given his golden voice in the film accompanied by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. It was a stupendous experience during the production of the film. The main reason behind the accomplishment of this project is the perception that we carried in the team.

The 2nd edition of ‘Street Smart Street Safe’ press conference was graced by Pooja Bedi and Dino Morea

Mumbai, 11, January 2017: After a widely successful road safety week campaign last year, the Traffic Police Department of Mumbai has collaborated yet again with TopGear India Magazine for the 2nd edition of ‘Street Smart Street Safe’ 2017.

The Traffic Police Department is constantly trying to tackle everyday challenges for the citizens and this one-week long campaign reflects this notion and is an extension of the same values. The press conference held at Sofitel (BKC) on 11th January 2017 was graced by well-known personalities, Pooja Bedi and Dino Morea, who came forward to support this worthy cause.

Making it a noteworthy affair, the high-profile event witnessed the presence of political dignitaries and esteemed authorities including Joint Commissioner of Traffic Mr. Milind Rambhau Bharambe, Dr. Praveen Gedam, Transport Commissioner, Government of Maharashtra,  Honorable Transport, Khar Land Development Minister Shri Diwakar Raote and lastly Founder of Olive Theory’s Ms. Sushmita Dalmia. In addition to this extensive effort in Mumbai and making it a state-wise affair, an on- ground activation in Kolhapur will also be conducted with an aim to spread road safety awareness.

Through this campaign, automotive and lifestyle magazine, Top Gear India aims to leverage its identity to raise awareness around the road safety week initiative that is currently being implemented by the Mumbai Traffic Police. The event had esteemed brands such as Olive Theory and MEP Infrastructure joining hands in this relevant cause as partners.

Commenting on the road safety campaign, Honorable Transport, Khar Land Development Minister Shri Diwakar Raote said,“This is a great initiative by Worldwide Media to educate everyone about the road safety measures. People crib and discuss a lot about road safety issues but when it comes to them they just forget it conveniently. It is their attitude which can make the campaign successful not anyone of us. We also believe that now is the time to make some additions in the road safety act which was introduced in 1986. We should include strict fine for breaking rules that people are scared to break them. ” Adding more to it, Shri Raote stated, “With such hardworking transport department, we are trying to bring in new processes in place where people are not supposed to go to RTO offices or agents. as everything will be online, from renewing licenses to  paying fee.”

Dr. Praveen Gedam, Transport Commissioner, Govt of Maharashtra, “We are glad to be associated with a campaign like this for road safety but it is not only a week’s thing but should go for 356 days and 24×7. There are close to 1.5 lakh people who die every year in road accidents and most are 15-49 age group. This is one of the leading causes which affect the GDP. Out of all these accidents, the person who is driving is the cause of 3/4 of the accidents. This week we aim to sensitize people about the safety measures and traffic rules.”

Milind Rambhau Bharambe, Joint Commissioner of Traffic, Mumbai said “We all know traffic rules but unfortunately with such congestion on roads, we tend to violate these rules. We have taken various measures to streamline the road safety condition. Mumbai police is going cashless which means no one is going to accept any cash as fine on field. There will be CCTV cameras to keep an eye across the city and we will generate electronic tickets if anyone will be caught breaking rules. Not only this, Mumbai Traffic Police has launched MTP app which is available on iOS and android. Through this app anyone can upload pictures of any traffic violation taking place around them and share it with us. After authenticating the picture, an action will be taken against the person. We look forward for everyone’s support and appeal to the citizens to participate in the initiative.”

Actor Dino Morea on Street Smart, Street Safe campaign said, “This is a great initiative put together to educate everyone about traffic safety discipline. I travel a lot in the city and it irritates me seeing people with no civil sense. Everyone seems to be in so much hurry that tends to break rules thinking that they can get away with such things. I would want to urge people to follow these rules as they are for our betterment only.”

Actress Pooja Bedi commented on the campaign, “Media plays a very important role in spreading the message and this is one such message which needs to reach out to each and every person. A majority of accidents are avoidable if people start following rules and we have some strict punishment in place. We all are aware of traffic safety rules but still there are people who do not hesitate from breaking them. I believe this is a n wonderful app introduced by the Traffic Police of Mumbai and we all should join hands with them to make it smoother.”

Commenting on the same, Head Strategy-Worldwide Media Pvt.Ltd. Mr. Sunil Wuthoo stated, “The Traffic Police Department of Mumbai, with many such efforts has been constantly trying to find a solution for the congestion on roads and road safety in general. We’re extremely proud to have associated with such a cause that affects people on a daily basis and we are optimistic that this campaign will be extremely successful.”

Co-Founder & Director, Olive Theory- Sushmita Dalmia said, “To add to all my fellow panelists, would like to add one thing to it that is Women’s safety which needs to be taken seriously across the nation and we need to support the Street Smart, Street Safe initiative.”

The meeting at Gateway House addressed the ever-relevant topic; “Eurasia: Coherence in a tumultuous world.” Serbia is a land-locked small nation of 7 million which is geographically located between Europe and Asia, and therefore has a keen interest and engagement with both continents.

Prime Minister Vucic said that Serbians liked Indians, and both were “freedom-loving peoples.” He admired Indian entrepreneurship, saying that his country would like to improve and embrace such entrepreneurship.

PM Vucic highlighted Serbia’s will to improve economic ties with India, and further “attract Indian investors to our country”. He desired a boost in trade between the two countries, and discussed a long term goal of creating a visa-free regime between the two. The meeting also touched upon Serbia’s view on terrorism.  On this front the Prime Minister mentioned that Serbia shares India’s sentiment on terrorism and has consistently condemned terrorist attacks in the territory of India.

On the European Union, PM Vucic said that being positioned at the crossroads of  West and East, behooved the country to have a balanced relationship between Europe and Russia. Said Prime Minister Vucic: “Serbia’s strategic goal is to be a full member state of the European Union”, and it will also then be “the only country within the EU which hasn’t imposed sanctions on Russia”.

In conclusion, Prime Minister Vucic thanked Gateway House for organizing the event for him, and wished for a similar institutional focus and concentration in Serbia on foreign policy. “I would like it if we would be able to boast ourselves of having such a great think tank as you have here in Mumbai,” he stated.

DEAR MEMBERS OF lPRS से समझोते वालीे बाते तो आप ने सुनी ही हेंगी,लेकिन lPRS के साथ  किसने और कौन सी शर्तो पर समझोता हुआ है यह हम मे से किसे भी पता नही है और न ये लोग बताएंगे जो हमे समझोते पर दस्तखत करने बोले जारहे है।जीन मे कुछ राईटर आसेसियेशन के पुराने कमीटी वाले भी है जीन्होने एक नयी कॉपीराईट के लिए कंपनी/सोसायटी हमारे ही पैसे से बनाकर सरकार से ऑथराईज करनेमे सफल नही हुए, और हमारी की एकजूट की वजहा से lPRS का लायसेंस भी अब तक रीनीव नही हो पा रहा है। इसी वजाह से ये लोग आपसी शर्ते जो हमे बता नही सकते वो तय करके समझोता करने तयार होगये जीस मे जावेदद साहब की बडी भुमीका है।.

दोस्तो इन लोगोंके समझोते मे पारदर्षीता होती तेा हम से छुपाया नही जाता। अब तक तो ये मामला लिरीक्स राइटर,मुझीक डारेक्टर और म्युझीक कंपनी का था लेकिन अब राइटर का भी है। ये 50/60लोग अपने आप को सब कुछ समझकर मनमानी करना चाहते जैसे अन्जुम रजब्बाली कमलेश पांडेजी  और भी कुछलोग जेा lPRS के मेम्बर तक नही है लेकिन उन्हे कॉपीराईट की सोसायटी की फिक्र है।. दोस्तो  करीब 1500 सौ करोड रुपये  सालाना कमाई है lPRS की लेकिन हमे सिर्फ 50/60 करोड का ही हिसाब मीलता है ।.

अब अगर lPRS  गलत लोगो के हात चली गयी तो कॉपीराईट सोसायटी भी बन जायेगी और हमारे साथ साथ राइटर का हक्क भी मारा जायेंगा। हम 800लोगो की ताकत के सामने ये मतलबी लोग टीक नही पायेगें हौसला रखे अब दिन दुर नही हमे इन्साफ जरुर मीलेंगा।

MCAl मे तो बिल्कुल पारदर्षीता नही है और पुरी कमीटी असंवेधानिक तरीके से वहा पर बैठकर मनमानी चला रही है।करोडो रुपया बरबाद करके किराये के ऑफीस से आसेसियेशन चलायी जारही है उनपर तो भरेसा करना बेवकुफी है।.

दोस्तो इन सब का भी हिसाब हमे लेना है इसी लिए बगैर सोचे समझे कीसी भी समझोते पर दस्तखत न करे।मेरी ये लडाई आपके हक्क के लिए है जीसके लिए सय्यदभाय, भारतीजी,अलीगनी साहब, जलीस शेरवानीजी और नवाब आरजु साहब ने कडी मेहन्त  की है।

lPRS Members

दोस्तो.

आप लोगो को ये जानकर हैरानी होंगी के lPRS मे शुरु से ही अफरातफरी चल रही थी। मेम्बरो का हक्क मारा जा रहा था। साथ साथ स्टाफ के कुछ लोग भी जालसाजी कररहे थे।

जावेद अखतर साहब 12साल से lPRS के साथ जो लडाई लडरहे है वो एक जालसाज की साजीस थी ,जिसे lPRS ऑफीस से जालसाजी के जुर्म मे केस करके निकाला गया था। उस जालसाज ने जावेद अखतर साहब को अपना बदला लेने के लिए ही lprs के अपोजीशन  मे खडा कीया।जावेद साहब इलेक्शन जीतने के बावजुद वह जालसाज दोबारा ऑफीस मे न आपाये इसी लिए lPRS वालोने जावेद अखतर साहब को चार्ज नही दिया ।.

जावेद साहब को ये सब बुरा लगा और इस लडाई की शुरुवात हुई । तब से इस लडाई को जावेद अखतर साहब के नाम से वही जालसाज ने अपनी नोकरी बनायी ।जावेद साहब की मेहरबानी से ये 12साल से मुजीक डारेक्टर आसेसियेशन मे महीना 3लाख रुपया सेलेरी लेते हुऐ बैठा है ,अलग अलग बहाने बाजी और केस के बहाने से करीब 15करोड रुपया रायटर आसेसियेशन और MCAl का बरबाद करचुका जो की  हमारे बरादरी के लोगो के वेल्फेर का पैसा था।.

अब जब मै ने अपने साथीयो को साथ लेकर 700लोगों के दस्तखत लेकर clb मे lPRSके mismanagment के खिलाफ केस किया जो की जावेद साहब अगर करते तो इतने सारे पैसो की बरबादी न होती और फैसला भी कबका होजाता। ये जालसाज जावेद साहब की मशरुफियत का फायदा उठाता रहा।

है। इस बीच दिल्ली से  सारे मेम्बरो को नोटीस आयी थी उसका जवाब भी मेम्बरो को परेशान न करते हुए हम ने दिल्ली जाकर दिया।इन सब बातो का परिनाम यह हुआ के iprs चारो ओर से घीर गयी।इसी बात का फायदा उठाते हुए  जावेद साहब और ग्रुप (जीस मे MCAl के कमीटी वाले ही है। जो लोग बाकी मेम्बरो को अहमीयत नही देते न देना जरुरी समझते।)के लोगो  ने iprs वालो से न जाने किन मुध्देा पर कॉमपरो करके समझोता ऑफर कबूल किया।किसी मेम्बर को पता नही है सम्छोता किस बात पर हुआ है सारो को अन्धेरे मे रखकर iprs के समझोतेपर दस्तखत करने कहा जारहा है ।जावेद साहब पर भी शक होरहा है के वो हम साधारन मेम्बरो के फेवर मे है या नही वरना इस तरहा  लोगो को इत्लाह दिए बगैर  कोई कदम कैसे उठाते?करोडो रुपया जो लोगोंके हक्क का बरबाद हुआ है इस का जिम्मेदार कौन है?

दोस्तो हम ने हमारी डिमांड Clb Court के सामने रखदी है।जल्दबाजी मे गलत लोगो के बहकावे मे आकर iprs के समझोतेपर दस्तखत न करे ।12साल मे मेम्बर के पैसो की बर्बादी करने वालो को हमारे केस के फैसले के बाद जवाब देना मुश्कील होजायेंगा इस लिए समझोता वाली चाल खेली जारही है । दोस्तो मै सब के हक्क की बात करता हुँ इसी लिए मेरे सामने बात करने की इन लोगे की हिम्मत नही होती है ,चुपचाप चाल चली जारही है ।दोस्तो मुझे कोई कुर्सी का लालच नही है सिर्फ मेम्बरो का हक्क उन्हे मीले और दोबार iprs कीसी गलत लोगो केे कब्जे मे नजाए जो पहले ही iprs से चोरी के इल्जाम मे निकाले जाचुके है ।ऐसे लोगो को हम दुर ही रखे तो बेहतर है।. जल्द ही iprs मे अँडमीस्टेटर आजायेंगा और हमारी मुश्किले हल होंगी। iprs ने मुझे,सय्यदभाय और s.r.भरतीजी को ससपेंड किया है फिर भी हम लडते रहे। आजतक इस केस के लिए कोई खर्च किसी से भी नही लिया गया ना मुझे चाहीए । आप के भलाई की लडाई मे आप के साथ की उम्मीद है ।  किसी भी समझोते पर दस्तखत करने से पहले सोचो हम दोबारा उसी खाई म न गिर जाए जहॉ से निकलना चाहते है ।.

सालाना 1500 करोड रुपये की रॉयलटी के  बदलने आज सिर्फ 50करोड lPRSमे जमाने हो रहा है बाकी पैसा मीलीभगत ये मुझीक कंपनीयॉ खारही है।इसे रोकना है।यह आप का पैसा है।                                     *आशफाक खोपेकर*

While welcoming the new year, a significant step in the direction of furthering Indo-Canadian Business ties, Mayor of Mississauga chose to visit Mumbai first on her two-week India Mission 2017, along with a high-powered business delegation

Mississauga, a vibrant, thriving, prosperous, multicultural, multifaceted and diverse city with a significant Indian diaspora holds huge potential for Indian businesses. Our city has become a natural choice for business leaders world over who seek to access markets in North America, especially Canada. Located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Mississauga is 6^thlargest and fastest growing city with close to 760,000 residents who command a modern lifestyle, an ever-growing economy and is governed by an innovative and smart local municipality, which is advantageous for all, more so, for the next generation of the new economy”, said Her Worship Ms. Bonnie Crombie, Mayor, City of Mississauga, Canada who along with Mr. Pappur Shankar, Vice President, Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce lead a high-level business delegation representing immigration consultancy, culture, business consultancy, legal fraternity, associations and entertainment sector to Mumbai. In her honour an interactive meeting was organized by the World Trade Centre Mumbai and All India Association of Industries and the Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce at the World Trade Centre Mumbai.

 

     

In her presentation titled ‘Business is a Human Race’ Worship Crombie highlighted Mississauga’ strengths, emphasizing that her city is rated AAA (Standards & Poors) with business taxes among the lowest in North America. “Ranked number 1 in FDI, having direct access to the $13 trillion NAFTA and European Union markets, it is the best place to do business. The dynamics of our extraordinary environment, business community and exceptional talent has spurred growth and innovation in Mississauga”, Worship Crombie proclaimed.

Mississauga is Canada’s second largest life sciences and aerospace cluster by employment, home to over 400 life science companies employing over 25,000 people. The aerospace industry employs over 24,000 people in over 220 aerospace companies.

“We have grown incredibly in almost all major sectors. Business friendliness and lowest economy costs have boosted the ease-of-doing business in Canada. Our country is the safest place for foreign direct investment. Overall Canada is ranked most cost competitive among the G7 nations and is 7.2 per cent lower than the US”, Worship Crombie stressed.

 

Mr. Jordon Reeves, Consul General, Consulate General of Canada in Mumbai, who was present on the occasion to facilitate the event, praised the impeccable timing of the visit of the Canadian business delegation to India. Mr. Reeves said, “I believe and as mentioned by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi that India and Canada are made for each other. The growth of bilateral trade of both countries brings immense opportunities for huge investments especially in infrastructure with the announcement of the Smart Cities project. The World Economic Forum has consecutively identified Canada’s banking system as being sound globally over the past seven years. It is important to note that $15 billion of private equity from Canada is mainly generated by corporate Canada, to which India is a beneficiary. Currently, there are 1.3 million Canadians of Indian origin in Canada. In educational sphere, we have seen significant growth, foreign applications for studying in Canada has increased to 70%”, said the proud Consul General.

Going forward, Canada will commence direct flights from Canada to Mumbai, shortly. Several ministerial visits and Canada’s Prime Minister are being planned in the course of the year. Further, Mr. Reeves expressed hope that the visit of Worship Crombie to India will positively impact the bilateral relationship between the two countries and the positioning of Mississauga trade and business endeavours, would go a long way in furthering this relationship.

Mr. Pappur Shankar, Vice President – Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce, said, “We have seen India-Canada economic relations rise from nothing to reach where they are today – over $8.3 billion in merchandize trade. The bilateral trade is growing at double digit rates for the last 3 years and it grew by 29% in the last year. Creating a bridge between Canadian and Indian innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems is one of the latest areas of growth in bilateral relationship. Education is an important sector in Canada. At the end of 2015, almost 49,000 international students from India were studying for six months or more in Canada. India is the second largest source country for foreign students in Canada”, propounded Mr. Shankar.

The massive smart cities project of the Indian Prime Minister  Narendra Modi is opening new doors for Canadian companies, even city administrations in Canada, who have extensive experience in creating smart cities are keen to collaborate with Indian entities, Mr. Shankar added.

Earlier in his welcome address Mr. Vijay Kalantri, Vice Chairman, World Trade Centre Mumbai said, ‘the current bilateral trade between India and Canada stands at $6 billion which can double in the next 3-5 years, if concerted efforts are made towards this direction. There are tremendous opportunities in the areas of tourism, culture, filming (Bollywood) oil & gas, petroleum, agriculture and food processing, healthcare, clean technology,   etc. India requires technology, investments, joint ventures from Canada as it is at the forefront of business activities. Businesses around the world prefer to invest in India which is the fastest growing economy in the world at a rate of 7-8 percent. In order to provide further momentum to this growth, the Government of India has considerably improved the ease of doing business in the last two years and hence Canada could seize this opportunity and channelize its investment to reap great benefits and this in turn could bring about a win-win situation for all. Prime Minster Modi’s initiatives such as Make in India, Digital India, Startup India etc hold great scope where Canada can partner and work together. In conclusion, Mr. Kalantri asserted that the main agenda of such delegation visits to India is to meet and understand each other’s needs and here is where World Trade Centre Mumbai and All India Association of Industries can play a major role in facilitating and fostering such meetings.

Mr. Y. R. Warerkar, Executive Director, World Trade Centre Mumbai proposed the vote of thanks.
