More news →'Paathshaala' to open on April 16
In April when most of the schools will be gearing to close down for its annual vacations, then this reel school will open… Director Milind Ukey’s film 'Paathshaala' is reported to release on 16th April. The film starring Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia and Nana Patekar, is based on the drawbacks of the contemporary education system. Presented by Eros International, 'Paathshaala' is produced by choreographer Ahmed Khan and his wife Shaira under the banner Paperdoll Entertainment. Says Ahmed, “Since the subject matter is how the education system exercises pressure on children, my film is getting a lot of attention and I have been approached by many people who want to tie up with me.” The film has attempted to reflect an interesting aspect as well – by portraying how kids’ reality show has adverse affect on children.
Paathshaala’ is about the education system
“Paathshaala” director Milind Ukey is tired of people constantly comparing his film with Aamir Khan’s “Taare Zameen Par” and says he is highlighting macro issues of the “education system at large”. “People are comparing ‘Paathshaala’ to ‘Taare Zameen Par’, but when they see the film they will realise both are very different,” Ukey said in an interview. ” ‘Taare Zameen Par’ was about one child suffering from dyslexia and my film talks about the education system at large. Our issue and scope are bigger,” he added. The Shahid Kapoor-starrer, choreographer-director Ahmad Khan’s debut production venture, is primarily about the Indian education system and deals with contemporary and socially relevant issues regarding children. Ukey worked with child stars like Swini Khare from “Cheeni Kum”, Ali Haji from “Fanaa”, Dwij Yadav from “Nanhe Jaisalmer” and Avika Gor of “Balika Vadhu” fame apart from others. Talking about his experience of working with children, Ukey said: “Handling almost 100 kids every day was not a cakewalk. Managing their mood swings, their study routines, etc., was difficult but at the same time once we knew how to communicate with them we were able to handle them better and it became a pleasurable experience.” “Paathshaala”, which is slated to release April 16 and was completed in 36 days, also stars Ayesha Takia.

'Aye Paapi' gets rocking for Shahid
The Prince Charming of Bollywood, Shahid Kapoor's dance track 'Aye Paapi' (Tu hai meri soniye) in Kismat Konnection is rocking the charts and has become the anthem of the youth. If 'Pappu can't dance' was the chart buster last week, 'Aye Paapi' is the flavor of the youth this week. The young superstar is the only actor who has delivered back to back solo hits like VIVAAH and the cult classic JAB WE MET, is all set for a hat trick of solo hits, if the reports of Kismat Konnection in the trade are any indication. Apart from the rocking dance steps choreographed by Ahmed Khan, designer Shabinaa Khan has designed the outfits for Shahid Kapoor for the chart busting track. Says Shabinaa Khan, "The brief given required Shahid Kapoor to be dressed as a young, hip youth icon, but different and not in your face clothes. I was very clear that the outfit would not be the typically 'Filmy-night disco outfit' but very casual. Keeping that in mind, we designed his look for the song that would incorporate a shirt with a waist coat, and T-shirts and black canvas shoes. And it suited Shahid's personality to the T." No doubt with his silken moves on the dance floor, Shahid rocks big time!!
