Star Movies will bring back its Made In india programme
band in the Sunday 9 pm slot. Steven Spielberg's series Taken
completes its run this month. As reported earlier by Indiantelevision.com,
the show failed to attract viewers.
The Made in India band should put the channel back in the
reckoning at that slot. Earlier this year, the channel had a great
deal of success with films like Bend It Like Beckham. One
of the films that will be showcased is Mira Nair's Golden Globe
nominated Monsoon Wedding. As the title suggests, different
goings on happen during a wedding and secrets are revealed. The
film stars Naseerudin Shah and Vasundhara Das. Other films that
will be showcased include the coming of age drama Anita &
Me, the side splittingly funny Bollywood Hollywood, American
Born Confused Desi about Indians in America unsure about their
identity, Split Wide Open.
The channel will also continue to showcase blockbusters like the
world war II actioner Pearl Harbour, the animated Ice
Age, which earlier this year got an Oscar nomination.
Star Plus has lined up a list of films that should make the Bollywood
buff salivate for more. Among them is Jism which shot Bipasha
Basu into the limelight. The film drew inspiration from the 1981
film Body Heat which in turn was inspired by the Billy Wilder
1944 classic Double Indemnity. Kabir Lal (played by model
turned actor John Abraham) is an alcoholic. He practices law in
Pondicherry.
Bowled by Sonia's (Bipasha Basu) bare back and looks, he lusts
for her. Sonia, married to a businessman (Gulshan Grover), too reciprocates
'love' to him. Together they plan to eliminate her hubby to lead
a life of their own. However after the murder of her hubby, Kabir
finds out that Sonia has set eyes only on money but not on him.
The other films include Bhoot, Ishq Vshq, Hamara
Dil Aapeke Paas Hai, Dum and Kuch To Hai. Meanwhile
Star Gold will have dubbed versions of Jackie Chan's City Hunter
Bruce Lee's The Game of Death and Shaolin Soccer which
is one of the biggest hits in Hong Kong.
