This week we have an Indian short film to give you a refreshing taste of home grown cinema. Prarambha by Santosh Sivan is a short film in Kannada about a topic most Indians shy away from – AIDS. This short deals with the discrimination faced by HIV-positive patients.
The film was a part of Mira Nair’s noble project AIDS Jaago (AIDS Awake); a series of four short films, Prarambha (directed by Santosh Sivan), Migration (directed by Mira Nair), Positive (directed by Farhan Akhtar) and Blood Brothers (directed by Vishal Bharadwaj) in a joint initiative of Mira Nair’s Mirabai Films, voluntary organizations; Avahan and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with a view of generating awareness about HIV/AIDS. The film was made for Richard Gere’s AIDS foundation. It was entirely shot on location in and around Mysore.
The lead is played by a little boy Kittu who travels in search of his mother.

Melanie C./MySpace
Since becoming a mom, former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm says that she’s been able to shed the Sporty Spice persona for once and for all.
“I never exactly felt under pressure but the press was always speculating about when — or if — I would have a baby,” she tells the UK’s Telegraph. “And what with the sporty image, there was this notion that I was the aggressive, masculine one, the tomboy, which isn’t me at all.” As a result, the 35-year-old songstress says, “motherhood has increased my confidence in a funny way.”

Every now and then we come across anticipated ventures that we label as somewhat jinxed, and Chandan Arora's Striker was not far from being added to the list of films under this label. Luckily, however, the makers have made a quick save and have officially announced a definite release date for the Siddharth starrer.
Striker which is based on a real life character is a plot set in the heart of Mumbai and will see South sensation Siddharth playing the lead role for the first time in Hindi cinema since his debut in Rang De Basanti (2006) and his critically acclaimed performance in Vishal Bhardwaj's short film Blood Brothers.
Fans of the Southern heartthrob will see the actor return to Hindi films after nearly 4 years this January 29th when Striker hits screens at last!
