Director Ashutosh Gowariker is again back to periodic films with his latest venture Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey , which is based on the Chittagong Uprising of 1930. The story of the film is based on Manini Chatterjee's book 'Do And Die'. Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone have a completely different look as the lead characters of the movie. For Deepika, it is a challenging role as audience has always seen her in glamorous roles and in this movie she turns a total 'desi girl' with her sari clad look. Sikander Kher will be back to big screen after a long gap with the hope of improving his acting career. The promos of the movie promisesto offer one of the biggest films of the year. A real life incident is the base of the movie. In 1930, when the country was being ruledby British, a village called Chittagong in West Bengal was suddenly awaken by a revolution by a school teacher called Suyra Sen. This revolution wakes not only the people of Chittagong butthe entire nation. Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey tells the real story of 64 forgotten heroes of Chittagong, who made five well calculated simultaneous attacks on the British in a single night of April 18. This group of 64 included five bold revolutionaries, 56 innocent yet fearless young boys and two determined young women. The whole country will be reminded of those heroes once again through this period film. So wait till tomorrow to catch a show of the movie or watch this space for more! -- Sampurn Wire |

| Two Germans stole Lady Gaga, Timberlake tracks online Posted: 01 Dec 2010 06:30 PM PST 
Duisburg (Germany), Dec 1 (DPA) Two German hackers allegedly stole and sold unreleased tracks from pop stars, including Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake, via the internet, a state prosecutor said Wednesday. A 17-year-old disc jockey from Duisburg and a 23-year-old from nearby Wesel allegedly wrote simple programmes - called Trojans because of their ability toenter private networks - to access unreleased tracks which they sold online. 'Basically we are talking about illegal bootlegged publication and spying on data using Trojans,' saidstate prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp, confirming an earlier report in daily Neue Ruhr/Neuer Rhein Zeitung. The alleged perpetrators have not yet been arrested or charged as investigations are still ongoing. Both still live with their parents, Haferkamp said. He said musicians targeted by thescam hurriedly released their newalbums and went on tour earlier than intended, due to the pressure generated by the illegal distribution of their tracks. The prosecutor also alleged that the hackers had acquired a suggestive photo which they usedto blackmail one of their victims, US singer Kesha. The prosecutor said they had probably found the image by accident whilst searching for music, using relatively simple hacker software. 'The trick itself is nothing special. All it requires is a bit of know-how and perseverance to achieve criminal success,' Haferkamp said. Investigations had revealed that the pirated tracks were sold online. The prosecutor said the damage to the stars was likely tobe far bigger than the money generated by the bootlegged sales, as tracks sold for more through official channels. The alleged hackers were exposed by fans, who objected tomusic being sold from dubious sources. When they approached afan club for US singer Kelly Clarkson, members became suspicious and contacted her agency. They in turn notified the police. IANS |
