The main platforms of American fantasy sports FanDuel and DraftKings are used to organize sponsored tournaments. A striking example of this tournament will be sponsored the NFL Millionaire Maker to be held on Saturday, September 13 DraftKing and of which we have spoken here, with as much as $ 10M guaranteed prize pool and promoted by ESPN.

By companies such as ESPN you can easily expect that they are interested in sponsoring a tournament daily fantasy sports, being a broadcaster that deals with sports h24. What is surprising however, is the sponsorship of Playboy on some tournaments organized by FanDuel. One thing is certain: these events, at least in the US, tend to be talked about.

The daily fantasy game Playboy and FanDuel have, as always happens to these extraordinary events, the prize disproportionate, with guaranteed by millions of Euros and a chance to qualify with a few bucks. The added value - at least for those who think that winning hundreds of thousands of dollars is not enough to make people happy - is the fact that the final stage of the competition is played in the famous Playboy Mansion, the historical site of the magazine and that made ​​headlines during the 70s, thanks to the lavish parties hosted by Hugh Hefner.

The Americans, though perhaps a little lacking in good taste, they know how to organize a show. Maybe one day in India we will transform the party into the fantasy genre, but for now, the best we can have, it is a decent tournament organized by Fantasfida and € 25,000 guaranteed prize pool. The ticket price? Only € 15: it will not be a daily fantasy game to Playboy-Fanduel, but for sure it will be fun.

Fanduel is a US website that organizes games against random opponents, with friends and real tournaments using the fantasy of NBA, NHL, NFL etc as a playing field and a buy-in at dollars (true) to add spice to the challenge. Only American users can play on fanduel.com for strictly legal issues when depositing with wallets as PayPal and competing only with US players.

The regulation in the country stars and stripes is years old (2006) and the Fantasy Sports are in effect considered a skill game, that is a game of skill. The limits imposed are different, including the duration of the tournaments and the rules of the same. The format with more success is obviously to daily although many games played by sports other than football as the NBA, up to 3 a week, also enable tournaments on seven days.

Only Freezeout the payout must be established at the close of registration and can not participate nor enrich the prize during the competition.

There has been talk of a tournament a few Sundays ago (October 2014) by more than 2 million guaranteed prize pool . This means that if the buy in of $ 25 multiplied by the number of participants are not able to get to bridge the prizepool, the difference puts the site. Some platforms, which does not include FanDuel instead adjust from this point of view, trying to evade guaranteed to avoid rimetterti and this is a hot topic in the current regulation of these fantasy sports figures that move from big multinationals (something for fanduel.com of over 400m dollars payout per month).

There are many differences between the fantasy football we are used to these and Fantasy Sports. Not just football, unfashionable in the States, but much basketball, baseball, football and ice hockey. Not a championship in the traditional sense, but a tournament every day, one shot, with the possibility of change and training to start again the following Monday. Certainly not given to newspapers more or less authoritative, but the statistical results of each meeting and the long term, for an objective result and irrefutable.

We are therefore talking about a game of skill? Undoubtedly yes. The fantasy football requires knowledge (and a little luck) and you can play it in money (between friends). Here the level of importance of the historian of the individual players, the matchday and the opportunity to earn real money also brings entertainment to another level.

All In the office is talking about and you do not know what is FanDuel ? We fill this gap immediately making you learn the new game that the US has taken the place of the now dated fantasy football.

FanDuel is a site that allows you to play in a Fantasy Sports Daily . The novelty lies in the fact that the virtual competition on alloys NFL (ice hockey), NBA (basketball) and MLB (baseball) is held on a daily or at least weekly, allowing users to enjoy adrenaline sports and of emotions fantasy football several times a day providing a lot of games and events.

When FanDuel and its fantasy sports is populated by an average of 600,000 formations that are uploaded to the site a week and estimates of the company are more than 400m dollars payout competitions, reflecting growth compared crazy even to ' last year.

The leagues or competitions have buy-ins starting at $ 1 and this is certainly a great way to attract players. On the one hand the entrance to a fun sport type is very cheap (well, something similar to what was done in Italy with the regulation of online gaming), the other all speak the same language: the sport. Who has not He participated in a fantasy football money? € 50 stranded for eight months? None of this: fanduel forget the commitment to a long season and pay and especially fun in a short time.

Alloys are the competitions organized by the website (more than 12,000 per day, growing), or by the users. Do you want to make a game with friends? Plan your setting a tournament entry fee and choose your players (draft) paying attention to stay within the predefined budget. Technically you do not need to play an active: as in fantasy football, you start with a day of the season or regular season and your training (line up) is opposed to that of a friend or random opponent. The site and fans keep track of the score of individual players in real time even from the mobile and the game ends as soon as the round ends and fantasy sports is elected the winner of the prize giving.

If you are American, yes. Unfortunately when you can not play, that is paid into an account. The deposit and withdrawal methods are traditional and the most widely used is PayPal. Many tournaments are structured to have more winners and last Sunday there was a tournament from modest input from 25 and $ 3 million guaranteed prize pool . Yes, 3,000,000. At first, for his brilliant insights into the championship round, 500 thousand dollars. Every week, more than 10 million in prize money distributed.

Fan Duel is a fantasy sports different because you play in a few hours and not in an entire season. Select the sport and the tournament you participate , you're not always full of friends, and then you feel like you have fun with them in a private league

Who makes more points! Each player on the basis of his performance earn points. The difference with the fantasy is that the points are not awarded by voting in the newspapers but by a complex statistical system that takes into account all the elements of the game (depending on the sports, steps, baskets, strikes, goals, etc.)

Announced for months, the film FAN of Maneesh Sharma has created a huge buzz for several reasons: SRK double role, the return of winning combo SRK-Yash Raj Films, King Khan himself stating that he is a the biggest challenges of his career and YRF promising special effects like India has never seen. An ambitious film, therefore, whose shooting has already been completed for some time, but whose output has continued to be pushed to perfect the best special effects. However, no more waiting, here's the first teaser of the film.

More and pluson observes that promotions of big movies start early in India, and FAN is no exception to the rule because the film does not come out before April 15, 2016. It will be 9 months of waiting time for Shahrukh Khan fans! This teaser keeps the suspense on the real surprise of the film, namely the second character played by King Khan, we only see the back.



The mystery is unsolved, and it remains unclear why Maneesh Sharma appealed to the makeup of the film Benjamin Button for the second part. The transformation aims yet discreet and it will take many months before the veil is lifted. Still, that Yash Raj Films ensures handily dominate 2016 as produce a movie of Shahrukh (FAN) and a film Salman Khan (Sultan), two teasers do an incredible buzz. A small feat in itself that few producers have the means to offer so little time!

Fanaa - the fear in the heart is an Indian film directed by Kunal Kohli in 2006. Zooni is a young blind girl who for the first time is left to go with her ​​friends parents in New Delhi. There he meets Rehan, a guide very charming. Fanaa guarantees its interpreters immense possibilities of making mistakes, like an object suspended between the plain and a precipice, without the firmness of Aamir and Kajol would quietly crashed to the ground. It is a film that tastes of several dishes, not a hobby but not too serious, it is proposed as a potential blockbuster and contradicts himself by pulling out unpopular characters, melodrama and lack of credibility.

Yet many in the balance of risk situations reaches a perfection all its own. I find it an excellent product overall, strengthened by great performers, with a final shudder and a soundtrack nothing short of amazing. Fanaa is a good attempt to create something capable of mixing different genres without resorting to strong contrasts the union of romance-comedy-action-drama; do not see themselves ever sharp splits, is a fusion perfectly successful and remains homogeneous, fine, nice, not a mere container.

There are too many inconsistencies and jumps, told in two lines would seem absurd and disheartening. Fanaa to be looked at and once you are inside you just have to let go not have the same result as before to check if the steps drunk in the film there were two actors who know how to do their job really, whose expression and passion comes out from every inch of their body. The two profiles, the entire script, songs, seems to have been designed exclusively to be able to join in the same set, in order to bring the names Aamir Khan and Kajol in a poster. Pairing unlikely as winning.

The magnificent ill-assorted pair. Aamir. Throughout the film exceptional though intentionally ugly and heavy in the first part (but they gave him to eat. You leavened, then reveal in all its charm in the second brilliant, what you say the element of surprise. With a character so full of contradictions and born to be hated, even the smallest hesitation on his part would have triggered the dissatisfaction absolute; Rehan is a negative figure that is not always perceived as such, is made ​​known and is revealed, you grant to viewers.

Aamir is brilliant in creating this strange situation, the actor does make his character one step closer to the love of the public and two steps back in order to restore the right distance ... almost suggesting remember who I am and not love me too, there play in the success of the film Kajol. Her name is synonymous with infectious enthusiasm and incredible stage presence, but to delight us with great performance needs the right environment and Fanaa she was practically sewn.

Intense in dramatic roles, enthralling in those bright, just perfect and adorable whatever he does. think of it, is perhaps the only film that Kajol has really nice shot without its historic stage companion, very often alone has encountered in films not really excelled, and is perhaps the only time when I look at "single" on the screen and not feel the slightest lack of any other Khan. When it must be said ... it must be said. Do not forget the important contribution of Kiron Kher and Rishi Kapoor. Can not imagine for Fanaa a better cast.

Practically the polar opposite: Zooni, a blind girl disarming enthusiasm, and Rehan, a liar and pericoloso.I two poles in opposition continues, and just the improbability of feeling between two characters so different creates an incredible contrast as interesting.

Not listening to what the suggested disabilities, she has an affair with him. After being pregnant , they decide to get married and Rehan does everything to help her regain her sight. When Zooni does the eye operation, still recovering, she was informed that the future husband was killed in a terrorist attack.

Zooni, upset by the news , he returned with his parents and with his son in Kashmir starting over a new life . Meanwhile also died mother , now elderly and Zooni takes care of all the housework. A few years later comes to the door a soldier asking for help: Rehan. Zooni so discovers that the man she loves and has always loved is a wanted terrorist and, after he has killed his father and the neighbor, is forced to kill him to prevent millions of people die in an attack with an atomic bomb.

Fanaa is a word of origin Persian that means getting lost in someone until they lose their identity or their life. The word originates in the Sufi circles, namely the mystical currents of Islam. The term refers precisely to the complete melting or dissolving with the absolute, namely God.

That is the visual representation of the songs contained in a film, not just playback or choreography, Indian cinema has a way of introducing his own music with harmony within any type of film, creating a combination of sensory experiences. Recall that are part of the narrative itself, not a mere diversion. Fanaa boasts music and lyrics with extreme care, as well as locations and scenery. Mere Haath Mein / Clasping your hands ethereal and colorful. Regenerate new life in the viewer a bit 'confused by constant changes of texture and helps him to gather energy for the final. brilliant tones, music sweetly sad, words that are more than a poem.

A scene built entirely in the studio, spectacular and artificial. Chand Sifarish jo karta amaari / The moon is encouraging us My favorite, a walk through the ruins of the Qutb Minar. Music catchy, flirty text, images, simple but effective, we follow one breezy Aamir / Rehan through the wonders of Delhi. Des Rangila / Colorful, colorful Dedicated to India and its beauty. Patriotic and lively, the choreography in the final once again the image of the Indian flag in a completely original way. Chanda Chamke / Shining Moon Nursery Rhyme tongue twister that picks the tune of Chand Sifarish, was filmed in Zakopane, snowy mountain village in southern Poland.

It is aimed at children but also adults having fun, the first time I saw the film I felt totally out of place, now do not think that anymore. Dekho Na / View Classic Songs rain, rain synonymous with seduction and liberation of the passions, column Sound of the night of love Rehan and Zooni. Wanting to make a bad joke ... is not that the text for the event was dedicated to someone? From the series "Dekho Na / View - What I combine with your lovely co-star?"

Against the backdrop of Delhi, captured through an exceptionally beautiful and unreal, the obsessive attention to Rehan for Zooni, intriguing and unusual courtship carried on a continuous exchange of verses. Not just a detail but the real narrative power of the first part series does not count "thing" it is said, but "how you do it." Let me cite just a couple more attractive (which is already a summary of 'soul of the film): Tere mere dil men saanso nko panaah mil jaae / men Tere ishq meri jaan fanaa I jaae Let my breath find refuge in your heart / May my life be destroyed with your love

A sequence in which the protagonists to play Antakshari, a concatenated series of riddles related to famous songs movie, a very common pastime in India. I can recognize a song from Pyaasa, one from Kashmir Ki Kali, one from Aandhi and one from Kaagaz Ke Phool . recommendations are expected to identify the remaining 2. then we find some reference to the already seen decontextualized and reinserted in Fanaa.

The gesture put bracelets on the wrists of Kajol, the tongue-twisting rhyme, the Indian flag and the national anthem all from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham the chant cheater-cheater who improvises on the baby bath Kuch Kuch Hota Hai the pun on Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge quoted by his friend while she moves away from Zooni from the train. I wonder if there are others. THE FINAL true jewel of Fanaa, eye catching enough to cause a headache.

Page 3 is an Indian film directed by Madhur Bhandarkar released in India on 21 January 2005. Madhvi Sharma works for a daily page 3 of Mumbai. This page tells people all the celebrity gossip of the jet set. This first work as a journalist please Madhvi much it is involved in all worldly celebrations, knows all the stars and celebrities of Mumbai and is known to all.

Madhavi shares his apartment with Pearl Sequeira, a flight attendant who has no other ambition than to marry a rich man and from the United States. A third roommate will join them: Gayatri Sachdeva, a debutante actress, who participates in all social gatherings to promote themselves in the world of cinema. The three girls become friends but things will change quickly: Pearl Sequeira meets a millionaire and will soon marry and leave for New York, Gayatri made ​​a suicide attempt and Madhvi will soon discover the true face of all these personalities in Mumbai. Page 3 has been selected for the film festival in Los Angeles in 2005

After the commercial and artistic debacle Aan- Men At Work where he tried for the first time to a mainstream commercial film, Page 3 marks the return of Madhur Bhandarkar semi-commercial film that made ​​him famous, with famous Chandni Bar . As usual, he explores the underbelly of Indian society, but this time, it goes where you do not expect to find them: in the heart of the jet set in Mumbai. The title refers to the third page of major Indian newspapers, which recounts the events where the rich and famous is fun.

The film centers around the character of Madhvi (Konkona Sensharma) who, just out of the Bangalore School of Journalism, is a small post worldly known journalist in a newspaper. She moved to the big city, where she shares her apartment with Pearl (Sandhya Mridul) stewardess not idealist, whose goal is to marry a rich man and from the USA and Gayatri ( Tara Sharma), while right arrival from Delhi, who wants to become actress. All three form an inseparable trio, who will help and support.

Thus begins the exploration Madhvi by the jet set. We follow its course over a year. At first, she discovers all amazed, so happy to be able to do the job she wanted, whatever it matches or not it was ambitious, but gradually it updates the shallows this medium. She discovers a world without faith corroded from within, totally blasé, where only the image account. At a funeral, no compassion, everyone laments told reporters, but phone to prepare the next party place to be seen. Whoever says to the cameras a face thing does the opposite in private life, provided it does not know is that his image and remains blameless.

As can be expected, the film explores a whole gallery of characters as diverse and varied. This is its strength is that it develops the maximum all. Briefly outline any individual is characterized in a particular way, either by history or by its mere attitude. Even similar characters have their own personality: the film avoids the trap of easy shortcuts and other fillings that are the principal risk when one wants to sketch an ambitious portrait.

Madhur Bhandarkar has no hesitation in tackling unusual themes for Indian cinema, as widespread homosexuality in the midst of the stars, transvestites, drug problems, and even prostitution and pedophilia. With its high of characters in dark colors, Page 3 is somewhat reminiscent of the approach of filmmakers as Robert Altman who also realize choirs-movies where important figures in the tens. Here we are in the same situation, and the film does not suffer from the comparison because it develops its own vision, in the literal sense, since it follows Madhvi whose eyes opened gradually little else, discovering poverty of soul of these personalities and even that of the people around him closer.

Page 3 is remarkable in that it shows without appearing to show. In some plans, it gives an idea of a medium, without overdoing it. Given the chosen social theme, comparisons with Chandni Bar might seem easy, but they are not without interest. Unlike the first, where he showed a clear mid readily located as poor, Madhur Bhandarkar here focuses on media a priori easier and less reprehensible, but painted with such acidity that brings out all the muck who is hiding and finally made ​​a more pitiful environment like Chandni Bar .

As in that film, he follows the main female character at a time, within a year, to deliver a failure. It takes far end of the film, where, back from his adventures, Madhvi returns to the minutes of an evening. But between his first paper and the latter a year has passed, and nothing is as before. She was enthusiastic and idealistic, discoveries and disappointments have made ​​her jaded and hard. It was a group of friends to support it, it disintegrated. All the people she meets have nothing fascinating. This is where the film is strong, where we see the talent with which it is built, since in this final round we see exactly the same characters that initially filmed exactly the same way, but their only vision we make the connection with what we now know them ... and like to Madhvi, they are now inspired disgust.

In the lead role, Konkona Sensharma, following the Bengali cinema (the masterpiece of Mr & Mrs Iyer ), and this is the first Hindi film, is excellent as expected when we saw what she is able. It makes perfectly all shades of emotion and mood in which his character goes As the film. A performance that confirmed his immense talent. Tara Sharma (Saaya, Masti) has a brief but noticed role. First pure and reluctant to favor any questionable to achieve his goal, in contact with this medium it corrupts gradually to blend in.

The difference between the Gayatri the beginning and the end is so obvious and well executed that one wonders why producers do not trust him. Atul Kulkarni ( Chandni Bar , Run , Khakee ) in the role of police investigative journalist was again excellent, even in a different role, because it is not the bad guy but plays a positive character who opens Konkona to true journalism , one in tune with the real social problems. Finally found Boman Irani ( Darna Mana Hai ) in the role of Deepak, the benevolent newspaper boss. He finally released disturbing to endorse the role of a hard but good man.

Despite its limited resources, including a tolerable photography, Page 3 compensates its shortcomings with good ideas and a scenario that is a model of its kind. Musically, the film includes songs, which in itself is a surprise, we particularly note the beautiful melody sung by Lata Mangeshkar herself. Without his voice to be exceptional, the song is great in the film at a time when several similar stories intersect.

Page 3 is therefore a certain artistic success. Although not of the caliber of Chandni Bar where emerged the heart returned, it remains difficult movie, not recommended in case of depression. For once, Madhur Bhandarkar succeeded almost to integrate commercial elements in his film (Romance, Songs) without it will hurt him, on the contrary. The public success of this film in early 2005, such as Black , are enough to reassure Cinema Health of author Indian and especially the attitude of the public with respect to more demanding films.

Once the best of friends, Madanlal "Lala" Malhotra (Jeetendra) and Suraj Singh (Shatrughan) have become sworn enemies because of the machinations of cunning Sundar (Tinnu Anand). The conflict between the two clans become so bloody that solving this crisis, the police chief (Prem Chopra) involves criminal psychologist KD (Anupam Kher). The latter has a plan: to fall in love Lala's daughter, Priya (Raveena Tandon) and son Suraj, Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), and force their father to make peace.

Zamaana Deewana is, to date, the latest feature film by veteran Ramesh Sippy, director of famous movies with Amitabh Bachchan as Sholay, Shaan and Shakti. His association with the young Shah Rukh Khan, became a star in 1993 with films like Baazigar and Darr, however is very disappointing, semi-comic uninspired variation on the theme of Romeo and Juliet. The beginning was nevertheless interesting threading the melodramatic clichés most hackneyed, the film proved to be a fast crispy parody the conventions of masala Bollywood bombastic, with a couple of bashful lovers ready to pass away rather than give up their romance.

It is unfortunate to discover that this rather comic prologue finally closer to the filling than the real plot of the film, more serious and agreed, which does not start until after a half hour of footage and there that is connected by an old writer of stuff like the world. Less diehard, very commercial and arch-classic, the true romance of the film is quite trivial, and is vaguely entertaining thanks to the antics of Shah Rukh, who used his humor already at least unique in drag its scenes, and did not come out too badly compulsory figures of popular Hindi cinema. Facing him, Raveena Tandon, however, is very bland in his role as stooges of the main female star.

One of the few advantages of this feature for fans of old Bollywood movies (aesthetically Zamaana Deewana is already dated) is its supporting roles: they are not all good, far from it, but it's good to see some aging trognes as the sympathetic villain 70s Prem Chopra, Jeetendra manly, or even the second part Tinnu Anand, a specialist in small roles incisive wicked smile a bit naive, we did dream of playing that characters pernicious traitors.

However, the notorious ham actor Anupam Kher, subscribed to the second comic roles in films Shah Rukh 1990s, is completely ridiculous in his role as maverick psychologist. This would not matter if its benefit unbearable, worthy of that he will commit in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai a few years later, did not draw this dull romance to the free Z series in scenes where it is present . His fans will have any right to a sequence including where he is disguised as matron mannered, makeup and the shrill voice making his funniest scene in the film, which is a shame! Her character is also used to spice up the love story of the two protagonists of some fantasy.

Alternating between romance and not very frolicsome comic passages surjoués the quaint Zamaana Deewana is not all bad for the simple reason that it leaves almost look, but it is nonetheless alongside Duplicate, the One of the most forgettable feature films Shah Rukh Khan, whose good humor is the only reason to save this film from the total mediocrity.
