Sinopsis :
The visions of seven directors merge in Dus Kahaniyaan. Epic in scale yet meticulously observed, Dus Kahaniyaan boasts of an extraordinary ensemble cast. A highway symbolized two friends’ companionship, their tacit love, but its unpredictable and volatile turns would radically change their lives. A writer is driven to madness after he makes a startling discovery about the woman he loves. Five friends start spinning stories in a story that will spin them around. Through an internal conflict between an underworld Don and his best friend, we weave through a stylish game of friendship and betrayal… Dus Kahaniyaan takes you on a tour of expansive highways and modern romance, of kindly strangers, of lives lived in the realms of power and lives freed from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honour betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered. Dus Kahaniyaan’s themes run the gamut from loss and betrayal to uprootedness and alienation, and that makes for irresistibly absorbing entertainment. The tales discover poignant moments of connection in one of White Feather Films’ most inimitable and ambitious creations.

JODHAA AKBAR



         Hritik Roshan dan Aishwarya Rai pada Januari 2008 mendatang akan menggebrak perfilman Bollywood dengan film terbarunya berjudul Jodhaa Akbar. Setelah sukses dengan Dhoom 2, kedua aktor tersebut dipercaya oleh sutradara Ashutosh Gowariker untuk memerankan filmnya. Sebagai sutradara yang pernah melahirkan film sukses seperti : Lagaan dan Swades itu, bekerja sama dengan rumah produksi UTV Motion Picture.
          Ashutosh Gowariker tidak ingin Jhodaa Akbar flop dalam peredarannya mendatang, oleh karena itu, ia mengajak juga aktor Abir Abrar, Kulbushan Kharbanda, Sonu
Sood, Suhasini Mulay, Vishwa Badola, Yuri, dan Digvijay Purohit dalam filmnya. Akting Hritik Roshan dan Aishwarya Rai yang sudah tidak diragukan lagi diharapkan dapat membawa keberuntungan bagi Ronnie Screwvala dan Ashutosh Gowariker selaku produser.
             Film yang akan rilis pada 25 Januari 2008 tersebut memakai musisi pop yang banyak mengeluarkan album single atau album film Bollywood, A. R. Rehman. Kepercayaan Ashutosh Gowariker kepadanya telah membuahkan hasil pada film Jodhaa Akbar. Kerjasama antara A. R. Rehman sebagai pengarah musiknya dapat memadukannya dengan lirik yang ditulis oleh Javed Aktar. Dapat kita prediksikan Jodhaa Akbar akan berbeda baik dari penampilan aktor dan aktris juga visual efek yang terdapat di dalam film tersebut. Bollywood mania silakan menunggu peluncuran film Jodhaa Akbar di awal tahun 2008!
