Espionage thriller Aazaan sees global launch with India-England ODIs


StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-azaan's is taking the same route as Ra.One when it comes to marketing and promotional strategy. Just like the Shah Rukh Khan starrer which had seen a huge global launch earlier this year during World Cup cricket where it's First Look was revealed, even this debut effort by Sachiin Joshi is treading the same path. Now the First Look of Aazaan would be launched globally with the commencement of India-England One Day Internationals today.

"The makers of Aazaan have a huge plan for the film's launch. They understand that cricket is a huge platform for the film to be seen worldwide and hence have booked some of the most prominent spots right through this cricket series. It has turned out top be an extremely expensive affair but it is in line with the kind of budget that Aazaan has kept aside for it's marketing activities", says a source attached to the film which has been directed by Prashant Chadha. 

Touted to be Bollywood's biggest espionage thriller ever, Aazaan is a multi-crore affair which boasts of an elaborate shooting schedule all over the globe that includes locations spread across France, Morocco, China, Germany, Poland, South Africa and Thailand to name a few.

"Since the film has an international appeal, it makes sense to make use of a global platform to let the audience know what the film is all about", the source continues, "During these ODIs, the First Look of Aazaan would be seen not just in India but all the countries where these matches would be broadcast. Idea is to create global awareness around the film since it has an elaborate release plan for itself this October."

Those who have caught a sneak peak of the film claim that Aazaan boasts of the kind of striking visuals that belong to 'never seen before' category. However one looks forward to check out if these claims are indeed true or not once the First Look indeed arrives during these cricket matches.

When contacted, the film's producers confirmed that Aazaan would indeed kick-start it's campaign starting with the India-England ODI series. Now one just hopes that India starts winning as well to increase further viewer-ship of Aazaan and helps the film achieve what it has been set out for.

This new party created history by having over 20 candidates for the forthcoming elections. This is a pan-Canada party and has been recently launched by wide awake dedicated young professionals. At the meeting, the party president Sardar Talukldar clearly and unequivocally stated that all the parties have failed. The inept rule of NDP is history, while the Mike Harris PC era is yet too fresh in the minds of the people to be ignored and during the Liberal rule of the last 8 years the poverty in Ontario has gone up by 17%.


The Party also introduced its Candidates who would be contesting the forthcoming Ontario legislature elections. They are:

  1. Shriya Shah from Mississauga East-Cookeville riding

Explaining the reasons for setting up the party, Dr. Bhatia said that the common citizens of Canada face identical issues, common problems and as the majority of Canadians have to live a life that is full of struggle, hopes and aspirations: struggle for everyday life; hope for a better future of our kids and of the country; and aspirations to sustain a dream of life. As average Canadians we run our households on a shoe string budget, without extravagance, but without sacrificing necessities and comforts for our families; so shall we run the country. As a party, Paramount Canadians Party has accepted the economic program of NFCA and it is clear from its platform.

Mission Statement:

To set up a really responsible, accountable administration in the country that connects with the people without compromising basic essential Canadian & human values by promoting happy family life without feat of street gangs, drugs and crime.

To effectively utilize our assets for an increased economic growth of at least 4% without depleting our natural resources, and thus ensure sustainable economic development, without taxing the citizens and also ensure socially accountable corporate sector.
Platform:

1-     To reduce auto-insurance & come to the level of Quebec.
2-     To cap all future auto-insurance premium increase.
3-     To make the federal government agree to provide gas at low prices.
4-     To setup a gas refinery in Ontario under public-private partnership.
5-     To make foreign qualifications from Universities of repute acceptable without recourse to long process of accreditation.
6-     To create an appropriate environment for the youth to prevent their involvement in gangs and drugs etc.
7-     To encourage and strengthen nuclear families.
8-     To rationalize welfare system and also make immigration responsible to provincial needs.
9-     To ensure the seniors a happy and self-reliant life.
10- To apply PNP program to Ontario

Death of Public Morality in Politicians Mourned

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-At a public meeting held in Scarborough, a huge crowd protested against the economic policies of the Government, especially against the ever rising auto insurance premium, uncontrolled gas prices and cheating at gas stations.  The meeting condemned the politicians’ lack of courage to take up issues that really matter to the common man.


Dr. Bikram Lamba, the Chairman roundly criticised the action of the Government and media for ignoring the protest  hunger strike by NFCA volunteers, when five persons were rushed to hospital.  “It is amazing that the media that goes in frenzy over the injury even to a cat or a racoon blissfully ignored the human suffering. None of the political leaders even took any notice of the seniors and women, thus showing scant regard for human life”, observed Dr. Lamba.

The meeting unanimously welcomed the new political party – Paramount Canadians Party and assured all help to the candidates of this party. The candidates received standing ovation from the huge mass assembled there.

The meeting also observed a silence for 2 minutes to mourn the death of morality, human feelings, and accountability in the established political parties.
