PANCH GHANTE MEIN PANCH CRORE: REVIEW

Banner : J. S. Movie Entertainment

Producer : Dr. Joginder Singh Padam

Director : Faisal Saif

THE STORY

Chartered accountant Vikram (Shahwar Ali) and his keep Soniya (Meera) who are waiting for another accountant Muqaadam (Rashid Khan) to deliver 5 crores hard cash at their farm house. Vikram works for Sultan Corporation which is owned by Sultan Khan (Ranjeet). As soon as Muqaadam delivers the money, Vikram and Sonia plan to kill Muqaadam and escape to Singapore next day with 5 crores to start a new life. Vikram and Soniya go exactly by their plan. Enter Karan Oberoi (Abhishek Kumar) whose car breaks down in front of Vikram's Farm House. Karan also happens to be Soniya's junior ex classmate in her college. Muqaadam's Girlfriend Reshma (Kavita Radheshyam), an ex exotic dancer who is waiting for Muqaadam to return, plans to take matter into her own hands. There is also a smart and strict Police Officer Raam Singh (Nasser Abdulla) who is in search of Truth.This is where the dirty game of love, betrayal, murder and deceit begins.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

The film is full of Twists, Turns and Jumps which keep's viewer's mind engrossed throughout. The film is mostly shot on one single location and doesn't give you a boring view at all. The screenplay and dialogues (Faisal Saif) of the film is so tight that it keep's giving you Jolt's in every next scene. Faisal Saif is the same director who directed Hrishitaa Bhatt's 2006 controversial 'Jigyaasa' which failed at the Box Office. This time, He brings a Psycho Thriller and has succeeded in grabbing viewer's attention through his story telling. Director Faisal Saif has executed each and every scene of the film brilliantly. It almost very hard to make a Scary Thriller but Saif has succeeded in making this. The taking of every shot reminds you of a Quentin Tarantino cinema. The second best part of the film is Background Score (Leonard Victor), The score grows on you with the moving story. Pakistani actress Meera is the pillar of the story. She is highly dramatic, menacing and yet manages to get the audiences root for her from the very beginning. Supporting her is debutant Abhishek Kumar who performs his part very well. He doesn't look like this is his debut film. Another debutant Kavita Radheshyam is a surprise packet of the story. She is the same actress who landed in controversy with her semi-naked photo shoot on Save Tiger campaign. Shahwar Ali, Nasser Abdulla and Ranjeet are very good in their respective parts. The songs of the film are good, But such Genre doesn't really required songs and dances. The Editing (Ashutosh) and camerawork (Sumesh K.Chandran) is crispy and outstanding. Production and technical values are fair.

TRADE ANALYSIS

The film is very less Publicized and less Promoted film. The film's with Zero awareness has only one hope tagged with them is word-of-mouth.The film is also Pakistani actress Meera's second bollywood come-back film, but she has been not come to India for the promotion of the film. According to sources she is in Pakistan and praying for Ramadan. Also Kavita Radheyshyam’s controversy is not able promote the film. While the film is the spice of all kinds.   

Ath  the Box Office 5 GHANTEY MIEN 5 CRORE should not be missed and only word of mouth publicity will help this film grow.

NIKHIL KAMATH’S 20 Songs IN THE FIRST-EVER MUSICAL SERIAL JAMUNIA

JAMUNIA is  first  musical serial which Doordarshan will  telecast on 27th
May, Sunday at 10.30 a.m.  All the 30 episodes of the serial have been shot.
Nikhil Kamath has provided the music for all the 20 songs in this serial
which includes the title track too.This is Prasar Bharati's own serial and they have made a comeback after 20 long years for their in house production which is highly commendable.
Dy. DIRECTOR GENERAL of DOORDARSHAN  Lakshmendra Chopra says:" JAMUNIA is  one serial where you will definitely see   a hard-hitting drama of a single  woman's fight against her own family members. The role of JAMUNIA is played by Richa Sony who had appeared in the serial Bhagya Vidhaata. She has done  extremely well in the title role."
 Music Director NIKHIL KAMATH:" I was told to provide the music which every common man, the general mass and also the class would appreciate. I was simply amazed with the efficiency of people like Udaynath Nayak, the executive producer and the video executive who helped each and every unit member during the shoots in Kolhapur to give their best. Anee Chatterjee has rendered the title songs well as many more. She has a unique voice as she is a well trained singer who is already a part of Bolywood. The best support came to me from veteran lyricist Rajesh Johri who has also given the voice over and has
also played the role of Jamunia's father. He has put his soul in the serial."
SURESH SINGH BISHNOI( Director):" It was a great challenge to direct this
serial as we had to follow the strict guidelines of the Doordarshan. Many
people have found the serial very gripping , especially the women folk as I
have tackled the theme of women empowerment. I got full support from the
team    of Prasar Baharati and I hope JAMUNIA will become a household name
very soon. We have also included many songs in the episodes and they are
like jewels as Nikhil Kamath has taken lots of efforts to keep the lyrical
as well as the musical mood in a total Indian style which will be
appreciated by one and all. Rajesh Johri took pains to give more and more
perfection to the serial with his voice over and I must admit that he took
extra care which inspired me to go for major improvisations on the actual
shoots."

 Udhyanath  Nayak,  video executive and executive producer of JAMUNIA   said:" I was present in the shoots in Kolhapur and we completed the shooting of all the 30 episodes of JAMUNIA. It has cost us Rs.2 Lakhs per episode. We are happy now as we have fulfilled our committment to the serial."
