'Private' conversations


  • Ekta
Ekta Kapoor’s XXX is giving nothing away, save for the fact that Ken Ghosh will be directing several newcomers in the film. The title by itself is giving rise to much speculation.
Most feel it’s an erotic thriller, replete with sex and nudity. We’ve found out that the film is segmented into a series of short stories. One of these stories has a penis talking to a vagina.
Chhoti Kahaniyaan
A source reveals, “XXX centers  around five short stories revolving around very strong women characters. The film begins with two people telling each other stories. Each story, while under the guise of erotica, tell a tale that comprises a message. The genre of each story is different — from edgy, to thriller, quirky, romantic and even comic. While people are assuming that XXX revolves around erotica and sex, the fact is sex is just a part of each story and moves it forward.”
Kya bolti tu!
About the ‘private’ conversations tale, the source says, “The story about a conversation between a male and female sexual organ, is very quirky in its take.” Adds the source, “There are no double-meaning dialogues in the film, nor is it a sex comedy. It’s a new-age, one-of-its-kind film, something neither Ekta nor Ken haven’t attempted before. The stories have been written by Ken, Tanveer Bookwala (Chief Creative Officer at Balaji Motion Pictures) and writer-actor Mayank Tiwari, who also plays a character in XXX.”
Music matters
The film is complete except for a couple of songs and post production. “In the music department too, Ken and Ekta wanted to be different. Ken apparently listened to 100 songs before finalising four, all composed by new music directors and sung by new-age singers. The music is said to be outstanding as all four are party songs. The uniqueness of the songs are that despite being party songs, none of them have the words daaru or mention of any type of alcohol in the lyrics!"
PAK NEWS,
Hmm…let’s see who remains…Oh yes, how can we forget? Our very own, ‘Jack of all channels’, the generous, the unmatched, the intellectual, Dr. (Axact) Amir Liaquat Hussain!!! (Drums rolling). For those who do not know about his current whereabouts, he is back to Geo these days and will apparently be rocking this year too. One teeny tiny, mini miney thing is his degrees are rumoured to be fake, but who cares really? One has a right to be called a doctor if they know how to feed mangoes after all! Gosh people, you need to stop criticising him, what has he ever done to anyone? 😛
Do’s and Don’ts
Alright, enough back-biting, let’s come to business. Personally, I do not think anyone can watch whole of these hours-long transmissions, but they influence people anyway. So why not use it for some more good?
Say NO to Catchy Jingles
I hate it when you are at iftar dastarkhwan making last minute supplications and have the TV switched on just to see iftar countdown and suddenly you are shaken by ‘light light refreshing…Qarshi Jam-e-Shireen’ or other jingles. There you are cursing yourself for leaving the TV volume high and hastily finding the remote to hit the mute button. Come on producers, we know how much are ads important for you but at least don’t stuff us with this unnecessary music at these crucial times? Most of us end up switching off the TV the moment iftar is declared.
