FOUR NEW INDIAN FILMS FROM STER-KINEKOR



Following on from the colourful Indian cinema titles released in January, Ster-Kinekor has four new titles in February to celebrate the month of love. In addition to the romantic theme, there is also a fair share of action, adventure and thrills a minute with the releases of Hasee Toh Phasee, Gunday, Nimirnthu Nil and Highway at Ster-Kinekor Gateway in Durban and Ster-Kinekor The Zone in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

Hasee Toh Phasee is a comedy love story which takes place over a period of seven years and seven days. It revolves around a down-to-earth, middle-class working man, who falls in love with his beloved spouse's younger sister. In the midst of this confusion, the truth about relationships unfolds, the strength of unions is tested and ultimately, love triumphs. Starring Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra and Adah Sharma, the film is directed by Vinil Mathew and produced by Karan Johar.

Gunday is a Bollywood film that tells the story of two characters during one of the most turbulent times in the history of Kolkata, (then Calcutta), from 1971 to 1988. Bikram and Bala rose from small time wagon breakers and coal thieves to become the most powerful black marketing mafia-men. Sharing a rare combination of vigour and wit, the two are inseparable and the city of Kolkata swears by their friendship. As their notoriety spreads into the stuff of legends, the people of this sprawling city start calling these two carefree rebels ‘Gunday’. Gunday stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.

Highway is an action adventure film about a young city girl who is abducted one evening, while on the highway with her fiancé. Their wedding is set to take place within the next four days. However, the young girl is taken away by a group of rural criminals and her life instantly changes. The film was directed by Imtiaz Ali and stars Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhatt.

Nimirnthu Nil is a Tamil action-thriller film, written and directed by Samuthirakani, and starring Jayam Ravi and Amala Paul. It follows the story of the lead actor as a revolutionist for a social cause. The film has simultaneously been produced in Telugu as Janda Pai Kapiraju. Nimirnthu Nil will be released at Ster-Kinekor Gateway in Durban on February 28.
