  • TVF to launch Barely Speaking with Arnub

    TVF to launch Barely Speaking with Arnub

    MUMBAI: After creating quite a buzz during its last season two years ago and reviving the talk show culture in India, TVF is all set to launch Season 2 of the most watched online talk show in India – TVF’s innovative, popular, iconic talk show – Barely Speaking with Arnub – later this month.

    Created as a parody to a TV talk show, the first season of Barely Speaking with Arnubfeatured leading actors and political icons – from Shahrukh Khan, Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra to the current New Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal.

    The popular online show was built on the same ideology and premise on which TVF was initially created, which was to deliver great and awesome content for its audiences.TVF entered the niche market of online talk shows in 2014 with Barely Speaking with Arnub. The talk show became an instant hit with audiences not just in India, but across the world, with each episode clocking over 2 million views!

    In the growing age of digital media where branded online content has taken off in a big way, the silver screen has realised the importance of the web. Barely Speaking with Arnub provides a innovative platform not just to films and filmmakers for their pre-release promotions, but, also to celebrities to showcase their human, more natural side to their fans, not just in India, but across the world!

    Arunabh Kumar, CEO and Founder of TVF says, “TV Channels have tried a lot of talks shows and the new millennium has seen several established actors trying their hand at hosting one. This led to all of the talk shows being more or less similar in India. From radio to television to print media, every domain has been tried and tested by celebrities to connect to their audiences, but no medium connects them better than digital. When we wanted to create an online talk show, we knew that no amount of marketing or promotions would help if we don’t create a talk show with a difference. And that’s when we decided to turn the talk show format on its head and conceive it as the ‘toughest host a guest will ever get!’

    In the growing age of digital media, where online content is spreading like wildfire, every popular celebrity has recognised the importance and power of the web. Stars and celebrities want to connect to young viewers and that’s where we have managed to hit the nail with the TVF Brand which everyone loves and deliver a talk show that stands out. And more so, it helps them stand up for something they believe in with a smile. TVF created ‘Barely Speaking with Arnub’ catering to the digital audiences’ taste and helping humanise some of the country’s biggest celebrities. In the scores of interviews that SRK gives for his movie promotions, what audiences remember is ‘Barely Speaking With Arnub’. It is also the most watched online talk show in India. TVF also created history in India by getting a politician on the show and talk to us as one of us. With the 2nd Season of Barely Speaking, we want to help get more celebrities from across the field connect to new age Indians and share what they believe in. And of course the host – Arnub with a U — ensures to keep the viewers and guests smiling!.”

    Biswapati Sarkar, Executive Creative Director, TVF added, “The funny thing about the show is not that we are making fun of celebrities or that we are parodying the existing Indian journalism culture. It is the fact there is a show at all and real life celebrities are appearing in it. This season, we have expanded the Arnub universe featuring new storylines and characters in his life apart from the interviews. I’m having a great time right now working with the writers on the episodes and really excited to play Arnub once again.”

  • Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films presents Adhiraj Bose’s Interior Café

    Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films presents Adhiraj Bose’s Interior Café

    NEW DELHI: “Interior Café”, a light hearted film by Adhiraj Bose starring the legend of parallel cinema Naseeruddin Shah and distinguished theatre personality Shernaz Patel is the next presentation by Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films after Sujoy Ghosh’s ‘Ahalya’ and Jaydeep Sarkar’s ‘Nayantara’s necklace’.

    Themed on the objective of “keep perfecting”, the Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films is a platform for aspiring directors to feature along with mainstream Bollywood directors and chase their creative energy to establish themselves in the industry. The platform gives a stage to storytellers to showcase their artistic creativity and reach out to their target audience through the online world.

    With short films like ‘Last Day’ and ‘Goonj’ to his credit, Adhiraj Bose has explored the nuances of human relationships in a 12 minute time frame where both the lives of the characters revolve around love, loss and reunion. Set in an old school café in Mumbai, the characters of Naseeruddin Shah and Shernaz Patel are shown conversing with each other, thereby signifying the lost love and longing which they have treasured amongst themselves. It is a perfectly told love tale which resonates with the idea of youthful love which had faded away and has come back to find itself again.

    Pernod Ricard India Marketing Assistant Vice President Raja Banerji said “Today the approach of filmmaking has transformed completely and being digitally connected has opened up various suitable outlets for filmmakers to express themselves in their own style to the audiences they want to connect to. Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films has built its credibility by collaborating with top Bollywood directors regularly. It is also the most inspiring platform for aspiring directors to showcase their creativity. Resonating with the core philosophy of Royal Stag Barrel Select, the platform is meant to help them keep perfecting their skills and establish themselves in the market. We are very excited to associate ourselves with the relentless creative spirit of Adhiraj Bose’s new film – Interior Café”.

    Bose said, “The story of Interior Cafe is an amalgamation of human emotions and what we as humans deal with in some point in our life. As a story, I approached it in a very realistic way, as every short film you see nowadays concludes with a social cause but what excited me to do this project was the opposite. With the legendary Naseeruddin Shah and Shernaz Patel on board I was pretty convinced of the choices I made in this film. As a filmmaker it is very important to have an outlet to showcase your creativity and Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films has truly made this a great experience for me and helped me connect to the audience. I was also excited to work with my long time best friend Shweta Basu Prasad as an actor and producer and my cinematographer Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran who executed his brilliant camera skills in this film”.

    Royal stag Barrel Select Large Short Films (LSF) is a portal that is the hub of Indian short films. It gives the audience the window to enjoy short films made by large directors. It gives budding film makers a platform to showcase their short films with large ideas. Pioneered under the aegis of Royal Stag Mega Movies, and Royal Stag Large short Film gains the first mover advantage in a medium that will be the future of entertainment.

  • Culture Machine’s Blush launches ‘Sista from the South’ series

    Culture Machine’s Blush launches ‘Sista from the South’ series

    MUMBAI: Blush has launched a series titled Sista from the South with a video celebrating the much loved Tam Brahm Boy. The series will feature on YouTube channel Blush with a new video every month. With tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, an unapologetic voice and engaging content for South Indians, the series will feature music videos, spoken words, short films and sketch comedies for all the sassy Blush women out there.

    The Tam Brahm Boy is the first video in the series that will give a quirky take on everything South Indian, including our delectable Tamil Brahmin boys! Whether it is his dorky glasses or his geeky demeanour, there is something incredibly attractive about the personality of the Tam Brahm boy that appeals to all the women in South India (and sometimes, even in North India). Sofia Ashraf, a new member of the Blush team in the south, is seen sharing her extremely strong opinions in a love song objectifying a typical Tamil Brahmin boy using hilarious southern stereotypes.

    Being an avid content creator, Culture Machine producer Sofia Ashraf has brought out an important aspect of our society and how women’s sexual emotions are treated in our country through the stereotypical depiction of the infamous south Indian boy.

    Speaking about the video, Ashraf said, “Hidden beneath the camp disco beats and south Indian clichés, this song actually carries an idea. I believe that women in this country are denied our sexual urges. This song is an unapologetic expression of primal desires and I hope that over time it becomes acceptable for Indian women to speak out about our passions and our sexuality stops being demonized.”

    Ashraf has been labelled many things over the years– feminist, fundamentalist and narcissist to name a few. Her penchant for comedy and writing led her to Culture Machine’s office and has come on board to create content for Blush which she hopes will spark a dialogue.
