cinema bandi releasing through netflix

 


D2R Indie, Raj & DK’s (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) latest venture in nurturing budding filmmakers, launched the trailer of an independent Telugu comedy drama, Cinema Bandi. The trailer was released exclusively on Netflix India this Friday, and will start streaming on May 14, 2021.


Cinema Bandi (translating to “The Film Cart”) is for all cinema lovers. “After all, everyone is a filmmaker at heart. Especially in our country,” muse Raj & DK.  And the film proves just that. In the words of Raj & DK, “It’s grassroots filmmaking at its most basic — shot by a bunch of friends — just 10 people, some of them who also doubled as actors. That’s how an indie is made!”

The film is directed by first-timer Praveen Kandregula and written by Vasanth Mariganti. The film stars an ensemble of professional and amateur actors, including Vikas Vasishta, Varanasi Sandeep Kumar, Rag Mayur, Uma YG, Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy, Siri Vennela, Trishara. And the music is composed by another first-timer, Sirish Satyavolu.
 
“When we first started, we had to do it all by ourselves. So we’ve been thinking, why not be there for other filmmakers like us? Why not go back to our roots, where we started? Which brought us to — D2R Indie — our initiative to help upcoming, independent filmmakers make their films! We are happy to present Cinema Bandi as our first Telugu indie. Praveen, Vasanth & team did a fabulous job in pulling off this hilariously crazy film with a big heart!” said the filmmaker duo Raj & DK. 

Cinema Bandi explores the story of a shared-auto driver who finds a camera in the backseat of his rickshaw and decides to gather his village and make a film, ‘picchar’ as they call it. Of course, no one knows anything remotely about making a film. But they have vast experience in watching films, their wits, and various ways of ‘jugad’. How hard can it be!? The film details their hilarious journey of highs and lows as they make their innocent, amateur film.

“The film is set in a village, at the border between Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The residents of the village speak in a curious mix of Telugu and Kannada – a strange dialect that has never been shown on the screen. This dialect and the two cultures seep into the city of Bengaluru, where I found the roots of my story. Mentored by acclaimed filmmakers, Raj and DK and premiering on Netflix, I can’t think of a better debut for our film. This is a dream come true!” happily recalls Praveen Kandregula, who will be debuting as a director with this film.

The film-maker duo has a reputation for doing the unexpected, be it India's first zombie film "Go Goa Gone,” the game-changing, blockbuster "Stree” or the much-acclaimed, super-hit series “The Family Man.” They have delivered numerous path-breaking content with an unorthodox understanding of the world they create, earning them the reputation of being a maverick duo!

Currently, they are in the middle of production of two ambitious series, one of them starring Shahid Kapoor & Vijay Sethupathi, as they await the release of the second season of ‘The Family Man.’

Shodashadina Sundarakanda Akhanda Parayanams from 3rd to 18th May

 

 Tirumala, 28 Apr. 21: TTD is organising Shodashadina Sundarakanda Akhanda Parayanams once again from May 3-18 seeking relief for humanity from the pandemic Corona 2.0. 

 

The parayanams conducted as part of TTD’s spiritual Campaign with Diksha’s and Japa Yajnam will be held daily morning at the Vasantha Mandapam in Tirumala and 16 Veda Pundits will perform the parayanams.

 

Similarly, another team of 16 Veda and Vaikhanasa Agama pundits will conduct Homas, Japam and Tarpanams at the Dharmagiri SV Veda vijnan peetham thrice a day -morning, afternoon and evening.

 

Legends say that such Shodashadina parayanams will beget good results and health for humanity on a war footing. Vedic pundits say that Sundarakanda is a Garland of divine words and its purpose is to deliver the universe from the pandemic through its chanting for 16 days in a phased manner focusing on each word from specific shlokas of each sarga in the holy aksharamala.

 

Hence TTD took up the divine task of Sundarakanda parayanams after the spikes in the second wave of the pandemic.

 

Earlier in the Corona 1.0 season TTD took up Sundarakanda, Virat parvam, Bhagavadgita, Veda Parayanams besides Yogasista visuchika nivararana mantram, Dhanvanthri Maha mantram parayanams at the Nada Niranjanam platform during 2020 .It is popularly regarded that all the yagas, parayanams and Japam conducted by TTD had brought huge succour from Corona to humanity till now,

 

However many unhealthy lapses in the public domain like not observing masks, not keeping social distancing and failure to observe all health safety guidelines has led to a revival of the Corona pandemic with several mutations.

 

The Shodashadina Sundarakanda Akhanda Parayanams will be telecast live by the SVBC for benefit of devotees across the globe.
