While ‘Youngistaan’ is a political drama, ‘O Teri’ is a satire and ‘Dishkiyaoon’ an out-and-out gangster masala flick.
Moviegoers will be treated yet again to different genres with this week’s three varied releases – Youngistaan, O Teri and Dishkiyaoon. While ‘Youngistaan’ is a political drama, ‘O Teri’ is a satire and ‘Dishkiyaoon’ an out-and-out gangster masala flick.
Keeping in with the election fervour of India, Jaccky Bhagnani’s ‘Youngistaan’ is a take on the political milieu and the significance of youth in bringing out the best of the nation.
The film also stars Neha Sharma, Farooq Sheikh, Kayoze Irani in pivotal roles. The film has been mellow with its promotions.
The USP: ‘Youngistaan’ is in its prevalance in the current atmosphere (the upcoming Lok Sabha Polls and the emergence of youth leaders) and the fact that this is late actor Farooq Sheikh’s last celluloid appearance.
Next up is the gangster masala flick ‘Dishkiyaoon’ produced by actress Shilpa Shetty and her entrepreneur husband Raj Kundra.
The film marks the return of actor Bipasha Basu’s new beau Harman Baweja on the silver screen. Besides, Harman, the film also stars actor Sunny Deol – not as a Punjabi Jat but a Haryanvi gunda – and newcomer Ayesha Khanna.
The film has been in news because of its celebrated producer Shilpa Shetty and its lead actor Harman Baweja’s affair with Bipasha.
