Academy Award®–winner Emma Thompson and fellow double Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks
topline Disney’s “Saving Mr. Banks,” inspired by the extraordinary, untold
backstory of how Disney’s classic “Mary Poppins” made it to the screen.
When Walt
Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L.
Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a promise—one that he didn’t realize
would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up
against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention
of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But,
as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to
go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation.
For those
two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with
imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers,
Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author
doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes
increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his
grasp.
It is
only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about
the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to
ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.

Twenty
years after Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, what could possibly go wrong if
you were to recreate dinosaurs and get them talking?
Well, the
funny thing is, the dinosaurs themselves are fine and laudable efforts are made
to set them in geological context.
Once you
are settled into their world, it looks a lot more realistic than it did on the

So, the
biggest problem, then, is what went on to the blank sheet: the script.
In an age
when computer animators can do just about anything, creating dinosaurs –

It is
still devising something which grabs the heart and stirs the soul.

traits and is attracted to her boss, Deepak (Samrat Chakrabarti). Doubting
whether her husband has secrets of his own, she hires a private investigator to
trail him. She learns from the private investigator that Vishwanath is not a
Hindu but a Muslim. In a sudden turn of events, the investigator gets killed by
a member of the terrorist outfit led by Omar. A business card on his wallet

from a warehouse on the outskirts of the city where the couple is being
interrogated.

the USA, which is planning to divert the attention through "capsules"
capable of emitting mild nuclear radiation tied to pigeons in New York city
while enabling Black alias Abbasi, a Nigerian suicide bomber to detonate the
cesium bomb in the city.
Together,
the team try to counter the plans of Omar and his group that could destroy the
most of the New York city. In the ensuing events, Vishwanath is arrested by the
FBI before being rescued by his uncle and Dawkins is murdered by Salim. Angered

Our film
reveals Narendranath (later known as Swami Vivekananda) as a juvenile young
boy, sparkling with energy and ideas, causing his mother immense trouble His
mother once even lamented that in response to her worship and ardent prayers
Lord Shiva has sent her one of his ghost attendants instead of a divine child.
A few instances have been shown, where Vivekananda is shown as extremely
naughty and playful young boy, for which he gets rebuked by his parents and the
scene ends revealing Vivekananda introspective.
Then we
are showing the change in Narendranath’s behavior. Under the influence of his
father’s teaching and mother’s religious beliefs, Vivekananda turns a new leaf
and becomes more religious and spiritual. This is the beginning of his quest to
discover God. Then, we can see Vivekananda’s first meeting with his master Ram
Krishna Paramhans. His father was an advocate and his mother was a religious -
minded woman. Narendranath started embracing religious sentiments but his
parents cherished high hopes for him and wanted him to get married and become a
successful worldly man. But he was more interested to discover God in its true
sense and understand spirituality. In his quest to realise God, he felt one
step closer after meeting his master Sri Ramkrishna.His meeting with the master
proved to be a turning point. It was very hard for young and rational minded
Vivekananda to accept Ramkrishna Paramhans and his visions initially. Though,
he could not neglect him either. It was his nature to test something thoroughly
before he would accept it. Ramakrishna never asked Vivekananda to accept God
blindly and he used to smile at Vivekananda’s argument and doubtful nature and
he used to tell him “Try to see the truth from all angles”.

film maker Srijit Mukherjee is creating MISHOR RAHASYA bengali motion picture
featuring Prosenjit Chatterjee as ‘Kakababu’. Prosenjit Chatterjee Cast:
Prosenjit Chatterjee as KAKABABU. Devdan as SHONTU.
Story :
Kakababu
(Prosenjit Chatterjee) is contracted by Egyptian businessman Al Mamun (Rajit
Kapur) to decipher the meanings of hieroglyphic symbols that his teacher, Mufti
Muhammad (Barun Chanda), had drawn on a piece of paper supposedly during his
sleep. Muhammad is terminally ill and is about to grant his last wish while he
is being treated in Delhi. Mamun thinks that the symbols are the key to
locating Mufti Muhammad's will which will describe where to find treasures
Mufti Muhammad had acquired during his tenure as a political leader and
revolutionist. However, Kakababu is convinced that the symbols have a different
meaning and they are very unusual in their nature. Mufti Muhammad symbolically
requests Kakababu to verify something, a very unusual last wish. Meanwhile, a
war of rivalry ensues between Mamun and Hani Alkadi (Indraneil Sengupta),
another of Mufti Muhammad's disciples who accuses Mamun of stealing a secret
that isn't rightfully his. While in Delhi, there was an attempt to murder
Kakababu, in which Kakababu was injured. Kakababu took the challenge to uncover
the truth for which he and his nephew Shontu (Aryann Bhowmik) head to Egypt
where they are drawn into the very vortex of the mystery. Kakababu gets
kidnapped by Alkadi's men which sets off a chain of events, culminating in a
climax underneath a pyramid. Inside the pyramid, Kakababu discovers the lost
mummy of an Egyptian queen with the help of the hieroglyphics code written by
Mufti Muhammad. The present day political turmoil in Egypt also subtly reverbarates
in the film. At the end, Kakababu gives Hani Alkadi the coded message written
inside the coffin of the mummy.
This is
the journey to the fabled, 'Mountain Of The Moon', in search of gold and
diamond mines, up against threats as vivid and varied as lurking snakes,
pouncing lions, poisonous flora, the fury of an active volcano and a seemingly,
almost supernatural mythical horror 'The Bunyip' the guardian angel of the
diamond cave. However, it is also the story of grit and determination, a story
of following one's dream against all odds and emerging victorious, a story
about a young lad called Shankar who, faced with the prospect of having to make
a living as a factory worker in his impoverished village, bids farewell to his
family in Keutia, rural Bengal, and through his aide Prasad Das Banopadhay, who
happens to work for the Uganda railway head office, sets sail to the Dark
Continent to work as the station master in Nakuru station, a dream come true
for Shankar who has always envisioned himself as a expeditionary and holds
interest in world geography and map reading. It is at this Nakuru station,
where Shankar is faced with the consequences of Africa, ranging from
bloodthirsty lions & aggressive Black Mambas. Shankar's true test begins
when he rescues the Portuguese explorer Diego Alvarez and he tells the story of
the ultimate adventure; a journey to the fabled 'Mountain of the Moon'.
