Covid Prayer The Moon Studioz’s Song - ‘Humein Tanha Na Chhodna’

     

The pandemic. Disease. Pain. Death. Fear. If there ever was a time for support and strength - it’s now! Here’s a little effort - The Moon Studioz’s - ‘Humein Tanha Na Chhodna’.

 

More than a song, it’s a call to the almighty from the heart’s core. To hold our hand in this storm. To protect us from this invisible demon. To be with us in these desperate times.

The song has been evocatively encased in a montage of stills and footage, the completed production of which tugs at the heart strings, perfectly amalgamated with soulful vocals and heart-touching lyrics. The essence: Our Prayers are Stronger than Covid. 

Vandana Sethhi, founder, The Moon Studioz (also an advertising veteran) and legendary film editor, director - Aseem Sinha over one of their regular chats felt the need for a prayer for these times. They shared the thought with veteran creative director - Amit Baid who has written the lyrics. Ace Music director - Bapi Bhattacharya (earlier, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj) heard the idea and the lyrics; and was immediately onboard. The project could only come alive with the unflinching support of Aseem Sinha. Deepest gratitude to him.

 

Producer Vandana Sethhi says, “When all else has been tried, there will only be God. It’s time for God to come down and destroy this demon called Covid. This invisible enemy of humankind. That’s our prayer.”

 

Amit Baid, the lyricist, illustrates the spirit of the expression, “The prayer works at two levels. Firstly, it captures the pain of the situation - connecting with one and all. Secondly, it carries the emotions towards positivity and hope; invoking the almighty at all times.’’

 

“The musical challenge was to stir up the heart… while elevating the lyrics to make an impact. You will find the orchestration to be minimal and the voice - folksy because more than a song, it’s a call.” reflects Bapi Bhattacharya.

 

The production (Humein Tanha Na Chhodna) has been oriented towards social media with the potential of going viral as it strikes straight at the heart. Keep an eye out on your WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook timelines.

Sunil Grover breaks the fourth wall in ‘Coffee With D’ to refrain from Smoking

Sunil Grover is known to be an ace actor and has proved his metal, time and again, with all the characters he has played on television. The actor who will be seen as a protagonist in the upcoming ‘Coffee With D’, has delivered yet another powerful performance and will be seen playing the character of a primetime journalist Arnab. Since the character in the movie is from the media industry, the film makers reveal that there are various moments where Sunil is seen breaking the fourth wall in this entertaining film with a very unique subject.


 

Whenever he craves to smoke a cigarette, by virtue of being on camera all the time, he removes a cigarette from a pack and breaks the fourth wall between him and the audience and jokes about the line that appears on screen during a smoking shot and chucks smoking a cigarette. He does that multiple number of times, till he reaches ‘D’. Known for his spectacular timing, when Sunil’s character is interviewing ‘D’, he unhesitantly smokes his cigarette and talks to the audience directly and lets the warning line, "Smoking is injurious to health", appear.


The entertaining narrative is employed by writer-director Vishal Mishra, to drive the audience to the point. Talking about the sequence he said, “There are various instances in the film, where the narrative breaks the fourth wall and gives a humorous take on censorship. The censors have been very sporting about the comment and have enjoyed the timing of these sequences.”

Slated to release on the 20th of January, Coffee with D is directed & written by Vishal Mishra. It is produced under the banner of Apex Entertainment by Vinod Ramani and also stars Zakir Hussain, Dipannita Sharma & Anjana Sukhani in pivotal roles.

THE PAPARAZZI OF MEXICAN FOOD FIESTA AT FOODHALL

~ From tacos to enchiladas, from chimichangas to quesadilla, Foodhall orchestrates a scrumptious ‘wrap’ around this exotic cuisine ~

 

 Foodhall, a premium lifestyle food superstore ushers in to the summers with a food festival: CANTINA – THE MEXICAN FIESTA that will highlight the myriad aspects of Mexican cuisine all through the month of April. The rich culinary tradition of Mexican cuisine is diverse, traced back to Native American Aztec and Mayan traditions, as well as Spanish colonial influences, resulting in a prevalence of corn, bean and rice based dishes. The reason this palate goes well with our taste buds is due to its spice flavors – the freshly made wraps and pinto beans simmered in rich puree of tomatoes is almost like the Rajma, we cook in North Indian homes.

  

The Mexican trail at Foodhall @ Palladium begins at the fresh juice bar with a tall glass of Fresh Watermelon Agua Fresca & Jalapeno Lemonade to beat the heat. Wrapped in the décor of Mexicano, the live demo counter at Foodhall will be whipping some Black Bean homemade Tostadas, the sunny side-up of Huevos Rancheros straight from the Mexican farms, Jalapeno & Mango Quesadillas and Mushroom & Spinach Enchiladas. For quick tastings, the store has sampled 5 layered dip, black bean dip, nachos cheese sauce, chipotle and tomato salsa, pineapple salsa, raw mango salsa, chopped jalapenos to tickle your taste buds.

  

The Cool Salsa Verde Bar

Just like a dedicated guacamole bar which is oh-so-avocadolicious, Foodhall is introducing Salsa Verde Corner this month – a sauce made from tomatillos (Mexican green tomatoes) which can be served with nacho chips, as a side, on top of huevos rancheros or in a burrito. In addition, the sampling of Enchilada & Chimichurri sauce (great as a marinade with paneer, chicken and vegetable) will further enhance the Mexican feel of the store.

  

Sinful Indulgence

From Tres le che, Coconut flan, Churros with chocolate dipping sauce to Taco shells, Spinach and Beetroot nachos and Tostadas, the bakery & patisserie section at Foodhall is churning out some mouth-watering treats.

 

Made fresh at the Salad & Sandwich Counter, the scrumptious Taco Salad, Elote, Burritos and marinated Chicken Breast in Piri Piri, Chimichurri marinated river sole, Cajun spiced lamb and more will leave your tummy wanting for more!

  

 

Cheesy, Very Cheesy Cuisine!

Mexico's iconic dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, frijoles, all involve cheese. Crumbled, grated, sliced or melted - Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Cotija cheese in Mexican dishes contribute to salty, tangy flavors of Mexico and offset some of the heat from chilies and spices.

 

Enhancing the Mexican Flavor Profile with Exotic Spices

The ASA spice section at Foodhall stocks-up condiments and spices like varied range of chilies, Mexican oregano (that gives this cuisine a rich earthy flavor), cumin (jeera), peppers, taco seasonings, fajita seasoning, paprika powders and Cajun spice mix.

 

Add Mexican food chef in my bio, please!

The Mexican days at Foodhall is offering exhaustive range of kitchen aid such as Sizzler plates, Mango peelers, Avocado slicers, Lemon zesters, Mortar, Pestle, Taco presses, Tortilla bowls and more!
