Tribal Tryst

Mood Indigo,IIT Bombays popular cultural fest,will have tribal life as its theme this year. The idea is to spread awareness about the environment,according to Jitesh Punwani,co-ordinator,Mood Indigo 2012. Tribal people live in perfect harmony with nature, he says. The students plan to transform the lush surrounding of the campus into a tribal village. They are also in talks with the State Tribal Ministry to help them organise a trip to a nearby tribal village to get a feel of their lives. Over 90,000 students are expected to attend the event scheduled to take place in December.

Girl Talk

After Aamir Khans show Satyamev Jayate voiced concern about female foeticide in India,actors Ajay Devgn and Kajol have taken up the cause. The two,also brand ambassadors for Save the Girl Child campaign for the Government of India,are producing a three-minute short film on the subject. Devgn plans to have the film screened in theatres during intervals. I would like to blend the message with entertainment. We are making a short film and if that could run between entertaining films,it will reach out to more people, he said.

Getting Graphic

Encouraged by the response to graphic novels based on Shah Rukh Khans Don 2 and Saif Ali Khans Agent Vinod,filmmaker Prakash Jha has decided to opt for this medium for his

upcoming film,Chakravyuh. The film uses the Naxal issue as a backdrop

and Jha feels that a graphic novel will help him communicate with the youth as a potential audience for the movie. With an animation company signed

up for the project,the graphic novel

is already underway and will be launched a month before the films

theatrical release.
