The director of 'Shaurya' Samar Khan is all praise for his cast of 'Shaurya' that includes Kay Kay Menon, Rahul Bose, Javed Jaffery and Minissha Lamba. The director is so happy that he has gone to the extent of calling this team a dream team. The director praises his cast in this film and says they were professionalism personified. His buddy Amrita Rao plays a cameo in this flick. Though she did a considerably small part she was very professional and she did not voice any complaints even when her schedule was stretched. 'Shaurya' is a story of justice, honour, faith and above all believing in yourself. A story of finding courage within, where friendships are tested in the battle which matters the most. The film is a battle for truth and justice. It is the story of Javed, a man wronged by his country by the very men who he fought with and who were his friends. It is the story of Siddhant, whose only aim in life was to escape reality and wasn't ready for what life presented to him. It is the story of Kavya who never understood why it was difficult to speak the truth. It is the story of Akash for whom living by the rules was the only way to live life. And it is the story of Brigadier Pratap, a man who lived by his own rules even if they were against humanity. Captain Javed Khan charged with mutiny, treason and killing a fellow officer is being tried for court martial. He refuses to speak in his defense as he fears that the secret of the night he holds is too powerful for the establishment to handle. Assigned to unearth the truth are Sid and Akash, two best friends, who are lawyers. They are two very ambitious young individuals who have absolutely contrasting views on life. Nevertheless, this one case will change their lives' forever. The case takes the two of them to Srinagar. While Akash follows the blueprint, Sid discovers a new meaning in life. Kavya, Javed and of course the man in question, Brigadier Pratap all start becoming catalysts in the case that starts becoming much more than he thinks it is. Yet the unanswered questions remain. Why is Javed silent? What is the truth behind that night? Why is Brigadier Pratap hell bent on getting Javed convicted? Will Sid have the courage to save Javed's life and his? To know the answer to all these questions we must wait patiently for 'Shaurya' to hit theatres. By what has been revealed so far 'Shaurya's plot sure seems to be fast-paced and entertaining. It looks like a movie with the right components for a successful flick. We hope it becomes a hit and makes a mark at the box office.
Can’t write songs for today’s ‘throw away’ culture: Shahryar
He is the man behind the unforgettable lyrics “Dil cheez kya hai” from the 1981 classic “Umrao Jaan”. Urdu academician and poet Akhlaq Mohammed Khan ‘Shahryar’ has stayed away from film music for years and says he can never write for today’s songs as they just provide instant gratification. “The songs that are being made nowadays – I can’t write such songs. It’s not that I am against those songs but I know I can’t write like that. That is why I am not writing for films any more. When a film is being made where my songs would be suitable and needed, then I will definitely write,” Shahryar, now 73, said in an interview. Th lyrics of songs from “Umrao Jaan” like “In aankhon ki masti” and “Justuju jiski thi” still continue to find fans, but the poet who penned the words refrained from being active in Bollywood soon after his first outing as a lyricist. Asked the reason, the poet said: “After ‘Umrao Jaan’, I did write lyrics for more films. One of them was ‘Anjuman’ made by Muzaffar Ali and many more that unfortunately could not release due to certain circumstances.” “Then there was one called ‘Habba Khatun Zuni’. All the songs got recorded; in fact the film also was almost complete, but because of the Kashmir issue it got shelved. Then there was one called ‘Gaman’ that also got shelved. “Another reason for my absence from the Bollywood scene was that I don’t consider myself a professional lyricist, plus I don’t live in Mumbai,” he added. Shahryar, who lives in Aligarh, was awarded the 1987 Sahitya Akademi Award in Urdu for his poetry collection “Khwab Ka Dar Band Hai”. He retired as chairman of the Urdu Department at the Aligarh Muslim University in 1996. The poet, who likes the works of lyricists like Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri and Kaifi Azmi among others, says that songs made today are not evergreen, unlike the ones in earlier decades. “Nowadays songs are not evergreen. They are being made on ‘throw away’ culture. One day they are the most famous songs but after a month nobody listens to them. This is because most of them lack melody,” said Shahryar, who has come out with poetry collections like “Ism-e-azam”, “Satvan Dar” and “Hijr Ke Mausam”. “Also, it’s a myth that people today only like music made in today’s times. One should go to the music shops…it will become clear that old songs and ghazals witness massive sales. People are going to buy such music as well,” said the poet, who was in the capital to participate in the Shankar-Shad Mushaira. Asked how important a place music has in society, he said: “The foundation of society is laid on art, music, culture and poetry. You can’t call a man educated if he is not exposed to at least any one of these…This exposure is very important.”
