Nasha- Beyond Sensual!

Poonam Pandey’s debut- A movie made by the director of Jism… A movie that has promised to not hold back, and has been largely uninhibited in it’s sensuality.

The plot revolves around an 18 year old boy, Sahil, played brilliantly by debutant Shivam Patil, who falls head over heels in love with his 25 year old teacher – Anita – the ever sensual Poonam Pandey.

While many were expecting sleaze and crass material from the movie; it manages to surprise you with its delicate yet no-holds-barred treatment. Director Amit Saxena gives a wonderful treatment to the intimate scenes between Anita & Sahil, it reminds you of the times you’ve lusted after your school teacher and dreamed of such moments.

There is a lot of focus on Sahil & his friends, their lives, their clothes, their friends & girlfriends. All the scenes involving this wacky gang are a joy to watch, they bring back all the crazy antics we’ve carried out during our college days.

The director by Amit Saxena shoots the film quite beautifully, the shot where Poonam Pandey walks towards Shivam Patil is a visual wonder!

Talking about the performance of Poonam Pandey, known for being a seductress, is playing just that in the movie, so it’s no wonder that she’s a natural in front of the camera. But the real surprise in the movie is Shivam Patil, he is surprisingly camera friendly, and manages to evoke sense of relatability through his portrayal of Sahil.

The music, given by Siddharth and Sangeet Haldipur, has got a play-again quality to it, especially ‘Tera Nasha’ & ‘The Goti Song’ will be remembered long after the movie. The peppy dialogues by Radhika Anand will definitely cheer you up, and form an instant connect with the film’s target audience.

In summary, Nasha is a movie that is sensual, but importantly, it is also a lot more. The teens, their friendship, their wacky moments are the surprise element of this movie, and make the movie the perfect one to watch with your group of friends. Watch it for them!

Taj Safaris takes the pledge on International Tiger Day with #StriveForStripes

Taj Safaris campaigns for helping Tigers thrive and not just survive

Mumbai, July 26: It’s a ticking time bomb, unless, we swing into the affirmative and take action now. Thus in lieu of World Tiger Day celebrated on July 29, Taj Safaris has put into action, a well-thought out and very focused online campaign #StriveForStripes.

This campaign draws attention to the rampant destruction of the natural ecosystem, which is the root-cause of the extinction of many species.

The three stage campaign will consist of ongoing activities on Taj Safaris’ Facebook, Twitter, Google + and Youtube channels sensitizing people to the environmental factors affecting wild life in general and the tiger specifically. Phase 1 of this campaign entails the creation of a special online tab to promote the pledge – #StriveForStripes with tiger facts & trivia; as well as a forum to voice opinions designed to aid tiger lovers to take a solemn pledge to do everything in their power to help sustain the ecology, the wildlife habitats and thus the tiger species itself.

The central event will be a culmination of all voices on July 29 on all media. A live chat event with Naturalist Bittu Sahgal, Editor of Sanctuary Asia Magazine has been slated for July 29 at 4 pm. The chat will underline the importance of the event.

Phase 3 of the campaign will be a proactive focus on what people can do in their own way to help maintain ecological balance, preserve the environment and protect all living creatures that have inherited nature’s heritage in equal measure, with equal right.

It is also Taj Safaris’ hope that by joining voices, they will be able to influence opinion-leaders in society and help spread awareness better. Taj Safaris runs an internal sustainability program focused on Sustainable community development & growth, Environment Awareness, Environmental Impact & Sensitivity and Biodiversity Protection. Taj Safaris’ innovative CSR model is geared to improve the quality of life of the indigenous tribes and economically less-privileged communities near Taj Safaris Lodges, and to preserve & save natural resources by involving guests and promoting responsible tourism practices.

With just 3200 tigers live in the wild today, we need to act immediately and mark International Tiger Day on 29th July, 2013. Pledge to #StriveForStripes.

On the topic of International Tiger Day 2013, the Taj Safaris spokesperson says, “Wildlife sustainability is at the core of Taj Safaris. We believe in respecting nature which is evident through our responsible tourism programs by conserving tiger forests. Our guests play a crucial role in helping us realize our vision. By embarking on an adventure with us, they become part of our dream to integrate international travelers and rural people to their mutual benefit and to demonstrate that wildlife can be conserved on a sustainable basis by all.”
