:::By Gasper Crasto, Kuwait::: KUWAIT: His Excellency Mr. Ajai Mathotra, Indian Ambassador to Kuwait, officially announced the premiere of the first Hindi movie made in Kuwait Kahin Na Kahin Milenge' (We will meet Somewhere) at a press conference held at the Continental Hotel on 2nd June 2009.
The premiere scheduled to be held on June 12 at 6.30pm will be hosted at Laila Gallery (Cinescape) in Salmiya . Attending the premiere will be Mr. Ajai Malhotra as the Chief Guest, Kuwaiti actor Dawood Hussain and Sheikh Duaij Khalifa Al Sabah as the Guests of Honor. Famous Indian actors Kiran Kumar, Shakti Kapoor, Kishore Bhanushali, Manisha Kelkar and Amit Bhanushali are lead actors of the movie produced by T-Bush, co-produced by Wency Ferrao, and directed by T-Bush and Arif Kazi. While congratulating the directors for their efforts, the Indian ambassador, in his opening remarks, said he was pleased to be associated with sharing information about the film Kahin Na Kahin Milenge' with the media, and giving it a higher profile in Kuwait. Mr. Malhotra said, "It is particularly satisfying that the producers and directors of Kahin Na Kahin Milenge' felt that the ties between India and Kuwait were a subject eminently worthy of devoting an entire feature film to Indians have been in Kuwait for many, many decades, participated in its development, and made Kuwait their home away from home. Indeed, our countries, people and civilization have intermingled and drawn sustenance from each other through the centuries. It is this laudable aspect that has inspired the film." Mr. Malhotra further said, "Kahin Na Kahin Milenge is likely to be of interest to Kuwaitis and Indians, as well as others, because it showcases several of the famous landmarks and attractions of Kuwait, bringing them to the notice of a larger world audience. It will thus provide film aficionados as well as a broader viewing public with a fine exposure to Kuwait." "Kahin Na Kahin Milenge is likely to have something for all generations in a family to enjoy. While a film may often be inspired by life, the story line of the film is purely fictional," said Mr. Malhotra, adding, "I hope this film becomes a precursor for more Indian- Kuwaiti films being made, motivated by the strong bonds of friendship that link India and Kuwait together." While concluding, the ambassador wished the producers, directors, actors and actresses, and the entire team associated with the making of Kahin Na Kahin Milenge', all the very best. To a question raised by the media, Mr. Malhotra said, "The film is in Hindi, yet it is entirely subtitled in Arabic. This should make it attractive for Kuwaiti audiences, while expanding its appeal to a broader spectrum of viewers." The duo directors of the film T-Bush and Arif Kazi also answered media queries after a promo of the movie was shown. :::Synopsis of Kahin Na Kahin Milenge::: The film is based on expatriates leaving their hometown and working abroad. The story mainly revolves around a father- daughter relationship. Mr. Rajveer Malhotra (Kiran Kumar), an NRI (Non-Resident Indian) staying in Kuwait for over 25 years, a well-known businessman and a humble person, loves his only daughter Joyee (Manisha Kelkar) more than anything else in the world. There comes a day in Mr. Rajveer's life and one fine day he decides to leave Kuwait for good. But Joyee refuses to go back with her dad. The story takes a twist and a question is raised: Should the father go back to his country or stay back with his daughter in Kuwait? Should the daughter leave the decision to her dad or decide on the country of her own choice? :::Links::: The Best Goan Blogs : http://gaspersworld.blogspot.com/
