Kalki Koechlin's Latest Short Film 'The Job' Will Make Your 9 to 5 Shifts Look Awesome
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Whether you open your own startup or work for one, we don't think there's anyone content with their jobs. But, no matter where you work, we don't think it can be as worse an experience as the one Kalki Koechlin faces in her job. Flying Dreams Entertainment We are not talking about her movie career. It's about her latest short film, 'The Job' that revolves around a French expat (Kalki) whose inability to differentiate between reality and illusion start affecting her current job, as she struggles to stay employed. Flying Dreams Entertainment Kalki Koechlin is one of the most underrated and versatile actresses of this generation, and time and again she has proved the same with the kind of projects she picks. And 'The Job' is no different. Flying Dreams Entertainment Directed by Siddharth Sinha, 'The Job' is a commendable approach to an inexplicable psychological trauma that Kalki's character goes through, while maintaining an eerie and suspicious vibe throughout the film. Flying Dreams Entertainment Kalki does not have any dialogues in particular; in fact, she has none. But her hands and expression do the talking to express her nervousness, fear, traumatic memories, OCD and anxieties that have forever perplexed her mind. Sinha leaves the film open-ended, expecting the audience to come up with their own perspectives and opinions about the movie, and probably that's what makes it a hauntingly beautiful experience to watch it. Flying Dreams Entertainment Check out the short film for yourself and let us know what you think of it. -

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If you haven't come across something soothing and romantic that instantly brings a huge smile to your face in the longest time, you've found yourself on the right page. Amidst all the bad and gloomy stuff going on around us, now comes a small nugget of unadulterated happiness in the form of a short romantic comedy film called #PuranaPyaar, made by Gorilla Shorts. They say, “You don't stop falling in love when you grow old, but you grow old when you stop falling in love”. And this film, makes exactly that point, in an adorable and hilarious way. It sure as hell made us laugh, cry and fall giddily in love, all at the same time. Starring veteran actors Mohan Agashe and Lillette Dubey, #PuranaPyaar is a new age love story, but of two oldies. The story revolves around Dev Pratap Singh, a widower who runs away from an old age home with another resident, a divorced lady called Mrs Sharma, and takes her to the beautiful mountain town he grew up in. But while he is completely besotted with her, she's still not totally sure about the whole thing. And then begins the cutest courtship saga that you'd have seen in a long time, with Dr Agashe trying to woo the stunning Ms Dubey like a love-struck teenager. There is laughter, love, beauty and even a little hanky panky as their relationship flowers. But it's not just all lovey-dovey. There's a devilishly delicious twist in the tale when the couple goes to his old school reunion. Don't take our word for it, watch it yourself to find out. At its heart though, the film is about the loneliness that our senior citizens feel and their need for companionship and love in the twilight years of their lives. But it's the story, the acting and the treatment that really stand out in the film. The cinematography, music and the spectacular locations in the mountains all add to the feels. They've even shot at the prestigious Doon School! No wonder then, that the comments under the film are full of people expressing their love and claiming that the film was like a breath of fresh air in their lives. And of course, Mohan Agashe and Lillete Dubey's performance has been hugely appreciated. This film is in fact, the fifth and last story of the hit web series called LoveHandles, running on Gorilla Shorts, a new and fast-growing YouTube Channel. The other stories of LoveHandles titled #AshleelPyaar, #ChoriChoriPyaar, #SilentPyaar and #GudGudWalaPyaar are all equally mad and quirky takes on love and have all become hugely popular. Do check them out and you can even subscribe to Gorilla Shorts by clicking right here. And while you are at it, don't forget to check out the beautiful background song of the film in the melodious voice of Suresh Wadkar.

Costa Rica: Will We See The Gold Shorties Or A Team That Fell Short At The 2018 FIFA World Cup
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Team Costa Rica had acquired the nickname 'The Gold Shorties' in the late forties and they have been regular at making their presence felt at all important football tournaments. Their expedition through the 2018 World Cup qualifying phase has had its fair share of ups and downs. Looking at the erratic performance the team has shown in the 2018 qualifiers, critics say that Costa Rica seems to have lost that golden touch they exhibited in Brazil 2014 and that their “golden generation” has already seen its best years pass. For 2018, the team qualified by beating USA and Trinidad & Tobago who were not competitive enough to reach even the play-offs. History With its long standing football culture and tradition, Costa Rica is unarguably a strong national football team that has had a lineage in the history of Central America. In the list of its achievements are three CONCACAF Championships (1963, 1969 and 1989) and a reputation of leading the pack with an impressive eight championships in the Copa Centroamericana. With an all-time highest Elo ranking in Central America, Costa Rica has the distinction of playing in four FIFA World Cup editions. Source: Reuters Finishing first in a group of all former World Cup champions-Uruguay, Italy, and England in 2014 would be remembered as Costa Rica's best performance in history. Current Form Undoubtedly, Costa Rica has had a superb start to the final qualifying round after beating Trinidad & Tobago (2-0) and USA (4-0). But apart from these two victories, defeat against Mexico and a draw with Honduras turned out to be a dampener on their winning streak. Placed in Group E, Costa Rica will play their first game against Serbia on followed by Brazil five days later, and finally with Switzerland five days after that. The talented midfielder Oscar Ramírez, aged 52, who was part of the Costa Rica squad that secured a place in the knockout stages at Italia 90, is now at the helm of the team's affairs as their coach. Source: Reuters Team Costa Rica is to a large extent, a repeat of the squad that made the world sit up and take notice at Brazil in 2014. Prominent names include Giancarlo Gonzalez, Oscar Duarte, Celso Borges, Yeltsin Tejeda, Christian Bolanos and Marcos Urena. Among these are also European-based stars such as Keylor Navas, Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell. Keeping in mind their poor performance in friendlies against Spain and Hungary, the team should improve upon their faults in formation and coordination. Expectations Being in the best of form is a concern with Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz owing to their injuries. It is expected that players such as Jimmy Marin, Randall Leal and Gerson Torres, all aged 20, would reverse the run of bad form. It could be expected that Costa Rica qualify for the knockout stage in second place behind Brazil. They have to focus on scoring really well in their matches against Serbia and Switzerland. Costa Rica will be one of the few teams that rely on five at the back, so that the goal defended by their star player, Keylor Navas gets full cover. Source: Reuters Costa Rica World Cup Squad GOALKEEPERS: Keylor Navas (Real Madrid), Patrick Pemberton (Liga Deportiva Alajuelense), Leonel Moreira (Herediano). DEFENDERS: Cristian Gamboa (Celtic), Ian Smith (Norrkoping), Ronald Matarrita (New York City), Bryan Oviedo (Sunderland), Oscar Duarte (Espanyol), Giancarlo Gonzalez (Bologna), Francisco Calvo (Minnesota United), Kendall Waston (Vancouver Whitecaps), Johnny Acosta (Aguilas Dorados). MIDFIELDERS: David Guzman (Portland Timbers), Yeltsin Tejeda (Lausanne-Sport), Celso Borges (Deportivo La Coruna), Randall Azofeifa (Herediano), Rodney Wallace (New York City), Bryan Ruiz (Sporting Lisbon), Daniel Colindres, Christian Bolanos (both Saprissa). FORWARDS: Johan Venegas (Saprissa), Joel Campbell (Real Betis), Marco Urena (Los Angeles FC). -

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Gulshan Grover was one of the most important Bollywood villains in the 90's. If it wasn't for him, our childhood movie memories would have taken a different turn altogether. Thanks to him and only him, we got the privilege to watch some of the most interesting and twisted characters onscreen. © Twitter And now, coming back in action after a long gap, he has set his foot in the world of International cinema and people are totally in awe of him. It's been quite a while since we last saw him in a Bollywood movie but he has finally made a comeback with a short film. © Twitter The talented actor was recently seen in a short movie 'Forbidden'. This dramatic thriller opened to a full house at many international film festivals. The movie traces the journey of a Sikh woman who is in love with a Muslim man. She is left with two choices, either to run away with her love or be the victim of honour killing by her own family. Inspired by a true story, the movie sheds light on honour killings prevalent in many societies. © Twitter Grover is seen playing the important role of 'Papaji' and his powerful acting has left international viewers spellbound. Written and directed by Vibha Gulati, the movie stars Gulshan Grover, Salony Luthra, Gopal Divan, and Dhanish Karthik. © Twitter The impactful and moving trailer will definitely pique your interest. Even though the subject, which is forbidden love, is not a novel idea, but the manner in which it is portrayed is hauntingly beautiful. © Twitter The movie's focus is on how loving someone from a different religion is forbidden and brings dishonour to one's family. And your bravest move could be the one wrong turn, which will change your life forever. Imagine when your own family, the ones you love, are the very people aiming to destroy you. Check out the trailer now: The movie was premiered at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival and the New York International Film Festival. And people loved the subject so much that it got a standing ovation. © Twitter Speaking to a leading blog, director Vibha Gulati said, "This film is a heartfelt tribute to my amazing friend who had the courage and the conviction to follow her heart and stand up to her family." -
