LSD, Shaapit & Lahore in theaters this weekendSex, Horror and Boxing
Three very different films arrive in theaters this Friday - Dibakar Banerjee's highly anticipated 'Love Sex aur Dhokha', Vikram Bhatt's horror film 'Shaapit' and the little known 'Lahore'. Click here to watch the trailer of Love Sex aur Dhoka! Following is the official synopsis of the film. Rahul, a final year film student, gears up for his diploma film. With his digital camera, with an amateur cast, he starts etching the perennial themes of the great bollywood love epic – his ideal – into his low budget magnum opus. While testing actors for his film he falls in love with Shruti, a new student who he casts as his heroine. Somewhere in the same city, Adarsh, an unemployed young man, installs security cameras in a small upcoming 24 hour departmental store. Under pressure to pay off a loan shark – Adarsh gets persuaded by his friend from the camera company to act ina porn clip recorded through the security cameras in the shop. In another corner of the city, Prabhat – once a committed sting journalist following cases of national importance – tethers on the brink of collapse. When he meets Naina, a dancer, who is trying to commit suicide, Prabhat sees the last chance to set his life right –a sting that exposes India’s biggest pop star, Laki Local. LSD is a roller coaster ride told through three different cameras that instead of passively recording the characters invades the drama, affecting the outcome of the characters’ destinies, snooping, prying, baring the fangs of real perversion hidden deep inside all of us.' 'Shaapit' on the other hand is a ghost story starring Aditya Narayan who makes his feature film debut (as a lead). Vikram Bhatt returns to the horror genre after such films as 'Raaz' and '1920'. "The curse played a pivotal role in Indian stories and mythologies, but I don`t think there is any film made on the subject. So I thought that it would be an interesting thing to make a film on a curse and how it works in one`s life," Bhatt said. "I did some research and a very important fact emerged. It was how a curse actually functions. The person who has cursed and the person who has been cursed may no longer be there but the curse remains on their family for generations," he said. 'Lahore' revolves around the India-Pakistan conflict as seen through the eyes of a boxer. The film stars Nafisa Ali, Farouque Shaikh, Ashish Vidyarthi, Nirmal Pandey, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Saurabh Shukla, Sushant Singh, Kelly Dorji, Shraddha Das, Shraddha Nigam and Mukesh Rishi. Actor Aanaahad makes his debut with the film. It is directed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan. "If there`s anything that can act as one of the greatest bond between two countries torn apart by politics and religion, it`s sports. That's what Lahore is all about," the director said, "In a country like India, it`s very difficult to showcase a sport other than cricket. I settled for kickboxing because I wanted a brutal sport setting, and being a kickboxer myself, it was easier for me to visualise it," he added. March 16, 2010
