on the following sunday there was communion . karen looked first at the black shoes , then at the red ones - looked at the red ones again , and put them on .

definitely one of the more obscure films of ava gardner ' s career , the angel wore red ( 1960 ) was barely given a theatrical release by mgm and has rarely been shown on television . as variety declared : " contains some philosophical merit , but just not box office stuff . "

civil war just begun in a nameless spanish city , fascist bands hunting the newly - ex priest arturo ( dirk bogarde ) , who has turned to a surprised soledad ( ava gardner ) , who evidently works as an escort , whom he met in a bomb shelter earlier that day , in the angel wore red , 1960 . >

and then she confessed all her sin , and the executioner struck off her feet with the red shoes ; but the shoes danced away with the little feet across the field into the deep forest .

[ and you know when the angel suddenly came to life to protect her ? that . was . epic . ( hide spoiler ) ]

" yes , they do shine , " said karen . they fitted her , and were bought . but the old lady knew nothing of their being red , for she would never have allowed karen to be confirmed in red shoes , as she was now to be .

and all the people inside looked at karen ' s red shoes , and all the figures gazed at them ; when karen knelt before the altar and put the golden goblet to her mouth , she thought only of the red shoes . it seemed to her as though they were swimming about in the goblet , and she forgot to sing the psalm , forgot to say the " lord ' s prayer . "

one day the queen was travelling through that part of the country , and had her little daughter , who was a princess , with her . all the people , amongst them karen too , streamed towards the castle , where the little princess , in fine white clothes , stood before the window and allowed herself to be stared at . she wore neither a train nor a golden crown , but beautiful red morocco shoes ; they were indeed much finer than those which the shoemaker ' s wife had sewn for little karen . there is really nothing in the world that can be compared to red shoes !

a most unusual combination of classic italian red bitter liqueur , bianco vermouth , crème de menthe and lager combine brilliantly in this refreshing aperitif .

" mercy ! " cried karen . but she did not hear what the angel answered , for the shoes carried her through the gate into the fields , along highways and byways , and unceasingly she had to dance .

karen received the shoes and wore them for the first time on the day of her mother ' s funeral . they were certainly not suitable for mourning ; but she had no others , and so she put her bare feet into them and walked behind the humble coffin .

" now , i have suffered enough for the red shoes , " she said ; " i will go to church , so that people can see me . " and she went quickly up to the church - door ; but when she came there , the red shoes were dancing before her , and she was frightened , and turned back .

" don ' t cut off my head ! " said karen , " for then i could not repent of my sin . but cut off my feet with the red shoes . "

people have been swearing up and down that the ending part of clockwork angel is where things finally getting good . but all i can see is the shadowhunters falling into the bad guy ' s trap foolishly and conveniently so will can rush in for the rescue at the last minute . what a poorly designed plot twist !

the organ played and the children ' s voices in the choir sounded soft and lovely . the bright warm sunshine streamed through the window into the pew where karen sat , and her heart became so filled with it , so filled with peace and joy , that it broke . her soul flew on the sunbeams to heaven , and no one was there who asked after the red shoes .

everybody looked at her feet , and the whole of the way from the church door to the choir it seemed to her as if even the ancient figures on the monuments , in their stiff collars and long black robes , had their eyes fixed on her red shoes . it was only of these that she thought when the clergyman laid his hand upon her head and spoke of the holy baptism , of the covenant with god , and told her that she was now to be a grown - up christian . the organ pealed forth solemnly , and the sweet children ' s voices mingled with that of their old leader ; but karen thought only of her red shoes . in the afternoon the old lady heard from everybody that karen had worn red shoes . she said that it was a shocking thing to do , that it was very improper , and that karen was always to go to church in future in black shoes , even if they were old .

at the church door stood an old crippled soldier leaning on a crutch ; he had a wonderfully long beard , more red than white , and he bowed down to the ground and asked the old lady whether he might wipe her shoes . then karen put out her little foot too .

i don ' t think clockwork angel is the most horrible book which i have ever read - - it isn ' t , the action scenes and part of the plots are enjoyable to an extent . but oh boy , clare ' s writing and her characters annoy me , the book as a whole annoys the freaking hell out of me , here ' re the reasons :

now the old lady fell ill , and it was said that she would not rise from her bed again . she had to be nursed and waited upon , and this was no one ' s duty more than karen ' s . but there was a grand ball in the town , and karen was invited . she looked at the red shoes , saying to herself that there was no sin in doing that ; she put the red shoes on , thinking there was no harm in that either ; and then she went to the ball ; and commenced to dance .

but when she wanted to go to the right , the shoes danced to the left , and when she wanted to dance up the room , the shoes danced down the room , down the stairs through the street , and out through the gates of the town . she danced , and was obliged to dance , far out into the dark wood . suddenly something shone up among the trees , and she believed it was the moon , for it was a face . but it was the old soldier with the red beard ; he sat there nodding his head and said : " dear me , what pretty dancing shoes ! "

one morning she danced past a door that she knew well ; they were singing a psalm inside , and a coffin was being carried out covered with flowers . then she knew that she was forsaken by every one and damned by the angel of god .

i ' d recommend reading those books in the order they were released : city of bones city of ashes city of glass clockwork angel city of fallen angels clockwork prince city of lost souls clockwork princess city of heavenly fire from clockwork angel on , both series kind of intertwine and some things are foreshadowed in one series that is going to happen in the other . this way you ' re reading it as cassandra clare intended the story to unfold , and you won ' t be accidentally " spoiled " for one series . : ) ( less )

this book got 1 . 5 stars from me simply because i was also reading tiger ' s quest by colleen houck , and comparing with tiger ' s quest , clockwork angel looks like it deserves 1 . 5 stars . . .

the old lady gave the soldier some money and then went with karen into the church .

in the middle of the village lived an old shoemaker ' s wife ; she sat down and made , as well as she could , a pair of little shoes out of some old pieces of red cloth . they were clumsy , but she meant well , for they were intended for the little girl , whose name was karen .

once upon a time there was little girl , pretty and dainty . but in summer time she was obliged to go barefooted because she was poor , and in winter she had to wear large wooden shoes , so that her little instep grew quite red .

karen believed that this was all on account of the red shoes , but the old lady thought them hideous , and so they were burnt . karen herself was dressed very neatly and cleanly ; she was taught to read and to sew , and people said that she was pretty . but the mirror told her , " you are more than pretty - you are beautiful . "

when we first meet will and jem , they were both tracing a demon . then they found out a young girl was slayed by the demon , but they hardly gave any reaction to her death . isn ' t it just bad for ms . clare to spend more time to describe what will and jem look like , what clothes they wore then she spends time on describing how her two male leads reacted to the death of this innocent girl ?

the sun was shining gloriously , so karen and the old lady went along the footpath through the corn , where it was rather dusty .

the angel may have worn red but it ' s difficult to see that colour in this black and white production . a priest ( dirk bogarde ) , who leaves the order , and a cabaret singer / whore ( ava gardner ) fall in love during the spanish civil war and find themselves prisoners of the republic . hokey romantic melodrama has a lot of pontificating on war , religion and lost faith . sandwiched in between scenes of conflict and despair both bogarde and gardner whisper a lot of unconvincing romantic dialogue . both stars are good but hilariously miscast as spaniards and have no chemistry with each other . however , no film with gardner can ever be boring and it ' s worth sitting through this film for her .

she was frightened , and wanted to throw the red shoes away ; but they stuck fast . she tore off her stockings , but the shoes had grown fast to her feet . she danced and was obliged to go on dancing over field and meadow , in rain and sunshine , by night and by day - but by night it was most horrible .

clockwork angel was not as good as book 1 in tmi series . but i will definitely continue with the trilogy , i still have lot ' s of questions and i really want to find out how jem ' s ' condition ' will be solved . cool beginning to what is sure to be a great trilogy ! : )

find me on instagram & twitter ! clockwork angel was amazing . if you love the mortal instruments , then you will surely love this book , maybe even more than the original series itself . and if you didn ' t , well i honestly believe the infernal devices will succeed in what the mortal instruments failed to do . the characters were one hundred times more better than that of the mortal instruments ! everybody was so much more likable and mature . i really thought for a second that tessa gray was older

this book got 1 . 5 stars from me simply because i was also reading tiger ' s quest by colleen houck , and comparing with tiger ' s quest , clockwork angel looks like it deserves 1 . 5 stars . . . in order to save you some precious time , i will tell you my honest reaction to clockwork angel right here , right now : thank you , shou . also , when i first opened the book , i was faced by this description as well : magic is dangerous - but love is more dangerous still . * sighs * what kind of soap - operatic shit is that ! ? i hat

she danced out into the open churchyard ; but the dead there did not dance . they had something better to do than that . she wanted to sit down on the pauper ' s grave where the bitter fern grows ; but for her there was neither peace nor rest . and as she danced past the open church door she saw an angel there in long white robes , with wings reaching from his shoulders down to the earth ; his face was stern and grave , and in his hand he held a broad shining sword .

then the sun shone so brightly , and right before her stood an angel of god in white robes ; it was the same one whom she had seen that night at the church - door . he no longer carried the sharp sword , but a beautiful green branch , full of roses ; with this he touched the ceiling , which rose up very high , and where he had touched it there shone a golden star . he touched the walls , which opened wide apart , and she saw the organ which was pealing forth ; she saw the pictures of the old pastors and their wives , and the congregation sitting in the polished chairs and singing from their hymn - books . the church itself had come to the poor girl in her narrow room , or the room had gone to the church . she sat in the pew with the rest of the pastor ' s household , and when they had finished the hymn and looked up , they nodded and said , " it was right of you to come , karen .

during the whole week she was sad and wept many bitter tears , but when sunday came again she said : " now i have suffered and striven enough . i believe i am quite as good as many of those who sit in church and give themselves airs . " and so she went boldly on ; but she had not got farther than the churchyard gate when she saw the red shoes dancing along before her . then she became terrified , and turned back and repented right heartily of her sin .

karen was now old enough to be confirmed ; she received some new clothes , and she was also to have some new shoes . the rich shoemaker in the town took the measure of her little foot in his own room , in which there stood great glass cases full of pretty shoes and white slippers . it all looked very lovely , but the old lady could not see very well , and therefore did not get much pleasure out of it . amongst the shoes stood a pair of red ones , like those which the princess had worn . how beautiful they were ! and the shoemaker said that they had been made for a count ' s daughter , but that they had not fitted her .

not only this , tessa ' s attitude is just as annoying as clary ' s . clary ' s bitchy remark about how " fat , ugly people don ' t get to become vampires because ugly people probably don ' t want to live long " bugs the hell out of me when i read city of bones . in clockwork angel , i found tessa making a very similar remark on brother enoch ' s strange , frightening appearance :

an amnesiac wanders the streets of manhattan , trying to solve the mystery of who he is .

the story of a young mermaid who falls in love with a prince from above the waves .

the ending was phenomenal . and there was also a cliff in the epilogue . so i can ' t wait to read the next book .

first , when tessa first encountered jem , he told her that westerners like her and will would be referred to as ' yang quizi ' in chinese , which meant ' foreign devils ' . oh yes , westerners were , and sometime still are , being referred to as ' ghosts ' in chinese because in chinese myth , only dead people / ghosts have pale white skin and yellow / red hair !

at home the shoes were put into the cupboard , but karen could not help looking at them .

after reading 5 mortal instruments books and clockwork angel , i began to realize ms . clare seems to be unable to write likable characters ( with the rare exclusions of simon , jem , magnus and maybe alec ) . when she tries to write brave , strong girls but they always turn out rude , judging , self - righteous and unlikable . when she tries to write complicated male leads with a haunting past , she only manages to make them into cocky , rude dickheads .

however , its got a lot of speeches and the story wears out it ' s welcome long before the movie weakly makes the hardest decision of the main characters ' life for him so he doesn ' t have to .

will on the other hand , is as horrible a person as tessa . the more i read the book the more i realize they deserve each other . for example , when will discovered tessa was in jem ' s room at night , he came up with the following remark :

soledad is spared by the arrival of the commanding general , an old man who disapproves of torture and dirty tricks . he orders all 250 prisoners to be marched out to the battle lines . there they will be given arms to slowing the nationalist advance on the city and cover the loyalists ' retreat . on the march , arturo gives soledad the relic so she can try to take it to safety . however , in a surprise nighttime rebel attack , she is seriously wounded . the prisoners change hands , but the nationalist commander decides he cannot trust them or leave them behind ; he orders that they be executed . arturo pleads with the officer assigned the task , but the man does not believe arturo ' s story . before more than a few unfortunates have been shot , however , soledad and the relic are found . she dies , but the prisoners are set free .

out of jail , but under surveillance , arturo meets soledad and the priest who has hidden the holy relic . the absence of the relic is causing unrest in the town and unsettling the local loyalist militia , now suffering massive desertions because of the missing relic , which is fabled to provide victory to those who possess it . this makes it essential for the local loyalists to secure it . but because of a well - meaning , disastrous attempt to feed the old priest in hiding , soledad leads loyalist security men to his hideout .

young catholic priest arturo carrera ( bogarde ) sympathizes with the poor in the spanish civil war , but finds that his fellow priests have little concern for the poor , because they support the nationalist rebels . he then resigns from the priesthood . hours later , the city is bombarded and he takes shelter with a mysterious beautiful woman named soledad ( gardner ) .

i saw a lot in common with this film and douglas sirk ' s much more impressive a time to love and a time to die , with a revisionist element that ' s not quite an inaccurate portrayal of history blended with deep melodrama . here the melodrama really slows the film down and drags down the last half of the film but the intention still has the same sappy effect .

i never thought this could be that good . i had started " city of bones " ( the first book of the mortal instruments by the same author ) but it didn ' t work for me so i thought this could be the same but i was totally wrong . this was an art , a fine peace of art . i read it in one day . literally couldn ' t put the book down for a second . everything is perfect and matches , and i really dig the lifestyle of the time before two hundred years , the classy outfits and the funny teasing .

, johnson learned that his producer was secretly editing the film without johnson ' s approval . as a result , johnson never had a chance to complete his own cut and was ungraciously sent home after the film wrapped .

not only this , in the middle of the story , will thought about thomas , the servant boy who once was his best friend before jem came along and will totally forgot about thomas ! will totally forgot about the servant boy who was once his friend right after he found a new friend . he was still in good term with thomas only because the latter happened to have the big enough heart to forgive him .

decent story of the spanish civil war with a good performance by dirk bogarde . ava gardner at the height of her beauty is quite wonderful .

despite torture , the old priest refuses to give up the relic ' s location , and is to be shot at dawn . the security chief then has arturo hear the condemned priest ' s confession . learning of the relic ' s whereabouts , arturo takes it , but claims not to know where it is . but he is then arrested and taken to see the torturing of soledad , for whom he has declared his love .

and he carved her a pair of wooden feet and some crutches , and taught her a psalm which is always sung by sinners ; she kissed the hand that guided the axe , and went away over the heath .

the plot is beyond goodness , and it has every paranormal creature . the book is written in third person and who knows me knows that i don ' t like books in third person but in this one i didn ' t mind at all . it was perfectly build and the story fits well with characters , their personality with their actions , the style of talking with the time book is written in . everything is in the right place .

obviously , beauty is in the eye of the beholder . just think a minute , those of you who castigate this film and its direction . let ' s place the blame where it belongs , on the " hollywood suits , " as they call the big shot executives who really control how a film will appear in its final version . johnson , gardener , and borgarde all made an emotional and artistic commitment to this film at its inception . this is obvious to anyone with even a touch of cinematic sensitivity when viewing the film . the underappreciated ava gardner , dirk bogarde , and director johnson were forced to reshoot many of the scenes , which made gardner livid . the powers - that - be insisted that she come across as a hollywood sexpot , rather than as the earthy prostitute who clearly experiences a spiritual epiphany after falling in love with the disillusioned priest character played by bogarde . the film portrays souls in crisis , not your typical hollywood garbage depending on sexually provocative women and shallow men to create the usual clichés

i feel very similar ! it wasn ' t good , it wasn ' t awful , and it was often slow in the middle and at the end .

the way that they talk is definitely not victorian . i know that the shadowhunters are more liberal but its just not talk fitting the period . i kinda don ' t mind , because i ' d rather not be bogged down in the victorian era english but i can see why people have a problem with it .

the gentle , ' good boy ' jem is simon in disguise , jem is being designed to be the weaker part of the love triangle , i like him just as i like simon , but i have nothing more to say about him .

they part . as night falls , loyalist speakers induce a mob to torch the church , whose ranking cleric moves to hide the blood of st john relic by giving his deputy the task of taking it to franco ' s nationalists . both the deputy and arturo become hunted men . arturo seeks shelter in a local cabaret , where he again meets the mystery woman , who turns out to be a prostitute .

i also liked the romance in this book , because the book needed it and i ' m so glad that the author didn ' t make it a big deal , like the reason of things happening because i ' m tired with books where only true love and stuff like this triumph . the bonding between characters was so natural and seemed quite real . and so you know there is a love triangle .

i actually preferred to read mortal instruments before . . . it gave me a better sense of the shadowhunter world when i got to read the infernal devices . …more

there are some good scenes though , and the concluding chapters with the fight at the institute are high stakes and exciting . i had actual anxiety worrying if jem and will would make it back in time and i knew what was going to happen .

to be honest , i’m not quite sure how to rate this book . it wasn’t all bad , but i wouldn’t say it was good either . it was rather boring at times and the story dragged heavily , especially in the middle and towards the end . none of the characters has become particularly dear to me . i didn’t buy the love story . however , i think i would have liked it much better if i hadn’t read the mortal instruments series before . but the books are so similar ( which was to be expected , i know , as they are set in th

the main characters in the infernal devices series are the photocopy versions of the main characters in the mortal instruments series , plain and simple . tessa is clary , will is jace , jem is simon and jessamine is a bitchier version of isabelle . only that in tid series those recycled characters got different colors of eyes and hair , they were dressed in 19th century british outfits and they were living in a supposed victorian era .

arturo ( dirk bogarde ) , a priest on the run from the loyalists during the spanish civil war , meets up with cabaret dancer soledad ( ava gardner ) , who hides him in her apartment . already struggling with his faith , arturo falls in love with soledad and contemplates leaving the priesthood . however , when an important religious relic is lost , arturo decides to find and guard the heirloom . soledad must decide whether or not to side with arturo , even though he may return to the religious life .

this is an indecisive , ultimately unconvincing wartime drama set in the 1930s when spain was caught in a bloody civil war , a situation that is never clearly delineated in that the story supports the fascists without specifically saying so . the hero is a voluntarily defrocked priest , arturo carrera ( dirk bogarde ) who is being hunted by the leftist , anti - clerical , and anti - fascist forces . while on the run himself , he encounters a beautiful prostitute , soledad ( ava gardner ) and as sure as the sun rises , the two fall in love and stay together . eventually , they are both caught by the anti - franco fighters who are trying to get their hands on a precious holy relic . the ex - priest is trapped into making a no - win decision between his love for soledad and his love for the church while she has a similar but more tragic decision to make on her own . ~ eleanor mannikka , rovi

i actually preferred to read mortal instruments before . . . it gave me a better sense of the shadowhunter world when i got to read the infernal devices . however , i read the infernal devices after i read city of glass . that was actually a good idea because if you read the infernal devices series after city of glass , you can catch some references to the infernal devices in city of fallen angels , lost souls , and heavenly fire . at least some of the most prominent references to infernal devices came after city of glass . also , by the time you read up to city of glass in the other series , you ' re already pretty well developed in the shadowhunter world in knowing what ' s going on . so , when you get to infernal devices , you would not have to learn the basics of everything . ( less )

soledad discovers that arturo was a priest , but because she likes him , she tries unsuccessfully to hide him from the militiamen . hawthorne , a habitué of the bar and a new york war correspondent ( joseph cotten ) with a platonic relationship with her , does his best to free arturo . arturo tells the loyalist intelligence chief he can make himself useful by comforting catholic loyalists who are wavering because of the treatment of the church .

the beginning till the middle was horrible . i had to force myself to keep on reading . it was so tedious i had to fight the urge to fall asleep . most of the stuff was not even relevant and important ! there was so much small , annoying talk and description that was not needed at all , and i couldn ' t help buy skip some of the words / paragraphs . too much is never good .

according to mgm records the film earned $ 410 , 000 in the us and canada and $ 525 , 000 elsewhere , resulting in a loss of $ 1 , 527 , 000 – one of mgm ' s biggest flops of the year . [ 1 ]

i usually talk in my reviews which part of the book was good , better and bad . but i can ' t part this one . from the first page till the last one , moments never got boring and there were always thrilling and exciting ones .

i originally read this . . . . not sure when ? probably around release date or soon after clockwork prince was released . . . but i reread by listening to the audiobook and it was fantastic ! i definitely didn ' t love this as much as i did when i read it the first time but i still really enjoyed it ! jem is a precious cinnamon roll . will is a tortured soul . tessa i just the best . i love this world and i love the steampunk elements so much . my only qualm with the audiobook is gabriel lightwood ' s voice because it was literally the worst . can ' t wait to listen to the rest of the series on audio .

“whatever you are physically . . . male or female , strong or weak , ill or healthy - - all those things matter less than what your heart contains . if you have the soul of a warrior , you are a warrior . all those other things , they are the glass that contains the lamp , but you are the light inside . ”

shivered with excitement all throughout the book ! “one must always be careful of books , and what is inside them , for words have the power to change us . ” i would cry , but i still haven ' t read the clockwork princess , so i feel my time would be wasted . this book was so so so good . i can easily say this is one of the best books i ' ve read in a while . it ' s been a stressful couple of months , but this book was a place i went to where all the stress , the unhappiness , and depression of the past couple of mo

she went to the parsonage , and begged that she might be taken into service there . she would be industrious , she said , and do everything that she could ; she did not mind about the wages as long as she had a roof over her , and was with good people . the pastor ' s wife had pity on her , and took her into service . and she was industrious and thoughtful . she sat quiet and listened when the pastor read aloud from the bible in the evening . all the children liked her very much , but when they spoke about dress and grandeur and beauty she would shake her head .

by all accounts , nunnally johnson did have his hands full on this production . shot in rome and sicily because the spanish government wouldn ' t permit the story to be filmed in spain , johnson found the vagaries of italian film production quite startling . his italian producer , for example , seemed primarily concerned with regulating the numbers of catholics and communists being employed on set . in sicily , the mafia controlled the extras as well as those placed in charge of them . one such assistant suddenly left town when he received a death threat scrawled across his bathroom mirror . other assistants would get extras to cry when needed by hitting them . late one night on location , johnson decided that this would be his last film as director . he later described the moment : " what the hell am i doing here ? two in the morning . in sicily . at the age of sixty . on a slippery rock . on a cold night . saying ' put the camera here . ' this is the end of it . let somebody else say , ' put the camera here . ' i should be home in bed . " he ' d simply had enough , and went back to being a writer .

moreover , the magic those nephilims wielded was pure awesomeness . instead of the control of basic elements as we usually see , using magic spells and drawing ancient symbols were comparatively more enthralling .

on the following sunday they all went to church , and she was asked whether she wished to go too ; but , with tears in her eyes , she looked sadly at her crutches . and then the others went to hear god ' s word , but she went alone into her little room ; this was only large enough to hold the bed and a chair . here she sat down with her hymn - book , and as she was reading it with a pious mind , the wind carried the notes of the organ over to her from the church , and in tears she lifted up her face and said : " o god ! help me !

jayasurya ' s " pretham , " " inspector dawood ibrahim " and biju menon ' s " marubhoomiyile aana , " released on aug . 12 , have been performing decently at the kerala box office . among the three movies , it is the horror comedy entertainer that has been earning well after garnering positive response from the audience .

dawood ibrahim ( jayasurya ) has been a fan of cop movies right from his childhood days and wanted to become a police officer , when he grows up . and he manages to realize that dream .

while living in the slums near the shrine of pankheshah baba at vikhroli , budesh came into contact with dawood ibrahim ' s men who , while on the run from the police , sought shelter in the labyrinthine slums of the vikhroli parksite area . budesh ' s initial assistance to these fugitives paid off in an expected way , when he went to dubai and met india ' s most wanted fugitive , dawood ibrahim .

if a film name is supposed to give a quick glimpse into what it offers , sajid yahiya ` s debut directorial is bang on both through its expanded , quirky title ` inspector dawood ibrahim ` and the shortened version , ` idi ` . mixing crime , cops and comedy , the film delivers laughs , packs some punch , and has it all to make it a quintessential humour - action flick .

bilakhia works directly for anis and dawood ibrahim and manages extortion , enforcement , and debt collection activities for d company . bilakhia has been involved with d company since at least the 1993 mumbai bombings , for which he is wanted by indian authorities .

now , sooraj has bagged the role y in the upcoming movie idi or inspector dawood ibrahim . he says it was his not - so - mallu looks that favoured him . “i was rejected several times because of my north indian looks . in idi , however it completely goes with the character description . the only thing director sajid yahiya told me was it’s an extremely stylish role . rest is suspense . ”

‘styling up’ he says is easy as opposed to keeping it simple , which he has to do for his next , sajid yahiya’s inspector dawood ibrahim ( idi ) . dressing a common , everyday man is not easy . that is where a keen eye becomes important . “not only do you have to be informed , observant , updated and aware of the possibilities available – an awareness of socio - political issues too helps . ”

friday , 12 august 2016 , saw the release of eights film at the kerala box office . earlier , catch had reported that eight films are battling it out at the box office today - jayasurya - starrers pretham and inspector dawood ibrahim , vk prakash - biju menon ' s marubhoomiyile aana , bollywood films akshay kumar - starrer rustom , hrithik roshan - starrer mohenjo daro , and tamil films joker , wagah and mudinja ivana pudi .

dawood ibrahim was born in 1955 and brought up in dongri , a dirt poor area of central bombay with a large but not exclusively muslim population . his father was a police inspector , but this didn ' t deter young ibrahim from becoming involved in petty street crime . with his friends and brothers , he would go down to the bustling crawford market and scam gullible bargain hunters . " his first trick was to offer a customer an expensive foreign watch , " recalled a member of his youthful gang . " after taking the money , he would vanish , while the customer would be discovering that dawood had switched the watch for a stone or some such worthless object during the wrapping . "

ibrahim ' s errant brother anees ibrahim ' s detention at bahrain airport in 1996 is attributed to a tip - off from budesh - - dawood spent over rs 5 million for his brother ' s release . similarly , abu salem ' s month - long incarceration at the uae ' s al - rafa detention centre following the gulshan kumar killing last year , was said to be budesh ' s handiwork .

“this is my second short film , and i wanted to try and make it non - linear , as that is not a concept which has been explored often in this format . despite our limitations , the film has been shot in as professional a manner as possible , ” says 23 - year - old anand , who has also penned the dialogue for the film and is now working as an assistant to sajid yahiya in his upcoming film idi - inspector dawood ibrahim .

a title which made a wave in the social media " idi " inspector davood ibrahim , the movie is all set to start shooting . the movie is expected to start rolling from this september . asif ali is the hero in the movie . correctly the actor is working in the movie kohinoor and after that " idi " will start .

ibrahim ' s association , it is said , helped him learn the ropes in the world of crime . but budesh fell out with his mentor and went on to lead the latter ' s foes against him . ibrahim ' s rivals became budesh ' s friends , including vasai - virar ' s dreaded goon , subhash singh thakur , who is currently lodged in new delhi ' s tihar central prison . another former ibrahim aide , dilawar khan , became budesh ' s man friday . the gangster ' s new alliances have succeeded in causing major upsets to ibrahim ' s declining empire .

as per early reports from kerala , both jayasurya films , pretham and inspector dawood ibrahim opened to very good reports at the box office . a good opening for both films was always on the cards as their trailers were hits . pretham is an out and out horror comedy , which also marks the third collaboration of director ranjith sankar and jayasurya after successful films punyalan agarbattis and su . . su . . sudhi vathmeekam . the film has been praised for its good comedy and jayasurya ' s performance as a talented mentalist .

‘idi , ’ the sound of the movie title itself gives a big - bang effect , and the khaki - movie is sure to keep your spirits high . the season of high - action police movies has bounced back along with new talents , and this time jayasurya is the lead for idi aka inspector dawood ibrahim which is directed by debutant director sajid yahiya . the movie was originally planned to be directed by sajid yahiya and arouz irfan together . but arouz stepped back to writing the screenplay , leaving the direction completely to sajid .

the second jayasurya - starrer of the day , idi , stars the national - award winning actor in a never - seen - before avatar as inspector dawood ibrahim . the film marks the directorial debut of actor sajid yahiya . like pretham , idi is also carrying positive reports , thanks to the ' mass - content ' with all the commercial trappings , including top action scenes and excellent comedy . however , it can ' t be denied that releasing two films of a profitable actor like jayasurya on the same day could have been avoided .

idi in the title stands for inspector dawood ibrahim and this is his story , with the character played by jayasurya . though from a wealthy family , all dawood desires is to become an honest cop and succeeds in becoming an inspector after some struggle . he gets posted at the remote kollanahalli , a place near the kerala - karnataka border . what he expects in his capacity as a police officer is blazes and guns . his time there as the inspector is what the movie is all about . the movie doesn’t have much of a plot and the story line is very thin . what is different is the treatment given to it . clichéd and formulistic sequences are given a boot . but again , ‘idi’ is not really a satire as there is a steady does of high end heroism . jayasurya does look good in those and this is perhaps the first time that he is doing something like this . the weekend was his , with two of his films releasing . on the other side , the cast including joju george , gokulan and sudhhy kopa were funny . saiju kuruppu and sunil sukhada were impressive . sshivada did not have much to do , but had ample screen presence .

it has been over half a decade since the last reliable public sighting of dawood ibrahim , the closest we have in the world to a real - life ernst blofeld , james bond ' s fictional nemesis . but despite this vanishing act , mr . ibrahim ' s myriad commercial enterprises continue to flourish . it is a testament both to his business acumen and the loyalty he generates that he still controls the largest criminal operation in india , despite having not set foot there a quarter of a century .

yet his affection for bombay did not prevent ibrahim from becoming involved in a terrorist attack that struck the city in march 1993 . indian authorities say ibrahim used his network to smuggle a huge amount of explosives and other weapons into the city for a series of deadly bomb and grenade attacks , which resulted in 257 deaths and almost 1 , 500 injured . according to indian authorities , ibrahim agreed to participate in retaliation for a series of anti - muslim riots and atrocities in bombay and other parts of the country .

for now , ibrahim must remain in hiding - - and the d - company is likely to remain one of the world ' s most impressive business and commercial networks .

reveals a deputy inspector general of police in bombay . budesh ' s targets are builders , diamond merchants and film people . his demands from builders include an annual ' fee ' or a few flats in their projects . from diamond merchants , he seeks deposits in numbered accounts in swiss banks . however , film folk remain the biggest contributors to budesh ' s coffers , as they were in ibrahim ' s heyday .

he had backed pakistan to win all four of their games . but a rival consortium had paid key players so that pakistan would win their first two matches , then lose the others . dawood and his associates stood to lose millions of pounds . ' cancel the bets , ' dawood barked . his visitors looked crestfallen . they told him that if they did that their reputations would be ruined and they would go bankrupt . this was last april , and the cricket world cup - an opportunity to earn serious money , they argued - was starting a month later in england . but dawood barely listened .

idi narrates the story of a person named dawood ibrahim , whose dream since his childhood days , has been to become a police officer . the character who is fascinated by police roles seen in films , decides to take up the job against the wishes of his family . he gets posted to a place called kollanahallu near kerala - karnataka border and what happens rest forms the crux of the story .

although unseen , ibrahim ' s whereabouts are no great mystery . if you ask a karachi taxi driver to show you the highlights of his city , he will happily drive you past " the white house " in the fashionable district of clifton , where " the don of bombay " lives . in its latest most wanted posting on ibrahim , interpol even gave this as his address .

he gets his first posting as a sub inspector in kollanahalli , a sleepy village in the kerala - karnataka border . and as we are aware by now , from all those movies that have been set in the area , there is no rule of law in these territories .

the five men from bombay sweated nervously as their plane passed over the arabian sea en route to dubai . they did not relish the task ahead : pleading for mercy from one of the most merciless figures in the violent and lucrative vortex of asian sports betting . dawood ibrahim , godfather of a criminal underworld whose corruption threatens to destroy the integrity of cricket worldwide , was not going to like what his associates had to say .

' do it or die , ' he insisted , before abruptly ending the meeting . the violence of dawood ' s gang , known as d company , is notorious . hours later hundreds of thousands of bets were suddenly cancelled .

senior inspector inmadar of bombay police ' s special unit targeting bookies likens sports betting to a huge pyramid . ' at the bottom you have a vast number of people betting a vast sum of money . at the apex you have very few people and a vast sum , ' he says .

a natural leader , by his late teens ibrahim had created d - company . he was charged with murder as a result of his audacious bid to destroy the near monopoly enjoyed in the underworld by the competing lala clan . d - company emerged victorious after an intense period of blood - letting , but ibrahim was forced to flee his beloved bombay , and by all accounts he has never overcome his melancholy at leaving .

the five bookmakers explained the problem to dawood , the man nicknamed the ' dubai don ' . he had been out - bribed in his attempt to profit from the triangular champions cup tournament in the desert state of sharjah between india , pakistan and england .

till last year , bombayites were familiar with names like dawood ibrahim , arun gawli , chhota rajan and ashwin naik who - - sometimes in league with each other and most often against - - divided the city ' s riches among themselves . however , with the murder of builder natwarlal desai at nariman point on august 18 last year , for which budesh owned up responsibility from his bahraini hideout in a television interview , it looks like bombay ' s ongoing turf war will get more intense .

the film has been produced by dr ajas ibrahim and arun under the banner of magic lantern productions and eros international . idi , which is touted to be an out - and - out mass entertainer , has been jointly written by sajid yahiya and arous irfan .

ibrahim , a muslim raised in bombay , was forced to flee his hometown on murder charges in 1984 . he spent the next the two decades living the high life in dubai . but in 2003 , the dramatic assassination of one of his associates in the lobby of dubai ' s swanky india club proved the last straw for emirati authorities . already under international pressure to do something about a top criminal with links to terrorism , dubai discreetly suggested to mr . ibrahim that it was time to end his luxury exile in the gulf .

and since then , nothing . ibrahim was not even spotted when dubai ' s hyatt hotel hosted the reception for his daughter ' s marriage to the son of javed miandan , the legendary former captain of the pakistani national cricket team . this was the celebrity event of the decade for high society from all around the arabian sea . but despite dozens of paparazzi , covert journalists and a coachload of international intelligence agents , ibrahim was nowhere to be seen ( in fact , he watched the event via a video - conferencing facility ) .

in the sajid yahiya directorial movie , jayasurya plays the title role of a sub - inspector , who worked hard to become a cop . soon he realises the struggles of a police officer and how he faces the pressures and duties assigned to him is said to be the gist of the action thriller , which also has comedy elements in it . the film marks the reunion of jayasurya and sshivada nair after the superhit family entertainer " su su sudhi vathmeekam . " " idi , " which is co - produced by eros international in association with magic lantern headed by dr . ajaz ibrahim and arun , also has joju george and sunil sukhada in significant roles .

the story follows dawood , who wishes to don the cop uniform right from his childhood . he grows up to be a straight - laced , passionate policeman , who is sent off to a sleepy border suburb kollanahalli for his first posting . an unexpected turn of events presents him an opportunity to prove himself .

washington – the u . s . department of the treasury today announced the designation of two indian nationals and one entity in pakistan as specially designated narcotics traffickers pursuant to the foreign narcotics kingpin designation act ( kingpin act ) due to their ties to d company , a south asian criminal organization led by dawood ibrahim . as a result of today ' s action , all assets of those designated that are based in the united states or are in the control of u . s . persons are frozen , and u . s . persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them .

the young scriptwriter said he didn’t aim to bring in a superstar for the role . “we didn’t start the film considering the artiste ; we only had a character developed in our mind . there are different shades to the character . the story is about a man named dawood ibrahim and the movie shows the life of the character from his birth to a turning point as he grows up . to show this , we wanted someone who didn’t have the weight of an image . son we approached jayasoorya . he heard the story , was convinced and he responded very positively . that’s how things became easier , ” explains arouz .

actor sajid yahiya is all set to make his directorial debut with idi – inspector dawood ibrahim . he , along with arouz irfan , who also makes his directorial debut , has scripted the film and the duo will direct the film . the lead actor , however , is a ‘secret’ which will be revealed in a couple of months , says sajid . “the film , ” he says , “will be a fun - packed action dhamaka . the lead actor , one among the youth brigade , is working on his physique and building his body . ” sajid is an entrepreneur - turned - actor who has acted in a few malayalam films notable among which is bangalore days in which he essayed the role of samy , a biking enthusiast . he has also directed a handful of television commercials and a short film . he will be seen next in lijo jose pellissery’s double barrel . arouz irfan started his career as an assistant director with the film friday 11 . 11 . 11 following which he worked as an associate director for amen and law point .

by contrast , ibrahim ' s businesses in the legitimate world are flourishing , helped chiefly by a continuing boom in parts of india ' s construction industry , where he holds significant interests through a series of front men and front companies . several of the vast shopping malls and multiplex cinemas that follow indian boom towns have been financed and built by businesses with covert links to d - company , according to indian and foreign intelligence services . ibrahim ' s role in financing bollywood movies , a particular passion of his second - in - command , chota shakheel , has also been ramped up in recent years .

the incident , recounted here for the first time , illustrates the power of the men who run a racket that starts with poor punters waging small sums in backstreet gambling dens across asia , ends with big - name cricketers throwing matches for cash and makes fortunes for those with the right information and right contacts . dawood has plenty of both .

dawood ' s base in dubai is an ideal place from which to influence the countless games that take place in neighbouring sharjah , a kind of monaco of the middle east . it stages a large number of the insignificant ' noddy games ' - matches meaningless in sporting terms but highly - valuable to television - which often attract the bookies ' attention .

meanwhile , there ' s no end in sight to ibrahim ' s exile . he may once have had the opportunity to negotiate a deal with the indian authorities , and even engaged in backdoor talks about possible amnesty . but his involvement in the bombay bombings and his support for pakistani - based militant groups closed that door .

his first posting is in godforsaken kollanahalli on the kerala - karnataka border , which has no proper police station or amenities . crimes there are livestock or vegetable thefts by a gang of three petty thieves , led by joju george , who acquits himself well . sunil sukhada and molly kannamali , who play dawood’s subordinates , bring on comic relief through their dialogues and actions .

today , ibrahim ' s empire stretches across south asia into africa , and it has outlets in several european capitals . in many respects , his business interests differ little today from those of the great oligarchs of russia , south africa , china and india . the origins of the business , however , lie explicitly in large - scale transnational criminal activities .

ibrahim ' s forced departure from the emirates did not , however , impinge on his ability to do business . his organization , the d - company , still controls vast swathes of mumbai ' s underworld from its headquarters in the central district of dongri . its influence stretches north through gujurat and into delhi , and covers large swathes of nepal , bangladesh , pakistan and beyond .

the cbi ( india ' s special police force ) and the raw ( the country ' s intelligence agency ) frequently stumble across major industries that are backed by ibrahim : his traditional organized criminal sectors such as the smuggling of drugs and arms , the more recent manufacture of counterfeit currency in india , nepal and bangladesh , and in legitimate businesses like construction and financing bollywood movies .

. ' it ' s going to be a mass entertainer in which i play a police officer named dawood and i will be romancing sshivada again , ' says jayasurya . interestingly , like the character of jayasurya in sudhi vathmeekam , sshivada will be playing a bank employee in this film . revealing more about her character , the actress says , ' i play nithya who is bolder than my character kalyani of sudhi vathmeekam . '

the bombings led to the splintering of not just d - company , but most of the bombay underworld . chota rajan , previously ibrahim ' s key lieutenant , entered into a deadly feud with his former boss . but so stretched are law enforcement resources in india and so propitious the economic boom for underground activities , that all the major gangs in bombay , delhi and elsewhere continue to expand at a breathtaking rate .

there is a rather funny sequence in the beginning , where dawood imagines how kollanahalli would be , while travelling in the train to that place . but in reality , it’s a horrible place and the police station is in a pathetic state . evidently to tickle the funny bone , there is a head constable named kuttan pillai ( sunil sukhada ) and a lady constable called angel mary ( molly kannamaly ) , besides some weird looking baddies , who are also there to play jokers .

dawood’s dreams of big bang bust of hardened criminals and crime cracking , aided by a police contingent , are shattered . but soon things begin to hot up with the sleepy town of kollanahalli waking up to the news of a theft for the first time in 15 years . the script accommodates a dreaded overseas don , played by yog japee and three hi - tech thieves . how jayasurya deals with these characters and takes things to a predictable end form the rest of the story .

dawood , 44 , fled to dubai in 1987 to escape the attention of the bombay police after a courtroom shoot - out left a rival gangster dead . despite all that , he lives openly in dubai , travels freely , throws lavish parties and has high - level political connections in pakistan . crucially , he also controls a network of bookies and has links with some of the world ' s best - known cricketers . like the other south asian betting kingpins , he operates with virtual impunity .

unsurprisingly , interpol ' s notice provoked outrage from pakistani authorities , who vehemently deny that they host the man once described as the most dangerous in the world . ibrahim is a major player in the criminal - terrorist business network that has deep roots in pakistan , but despite his financial clout and d - company ' s long reach , he is personally dependent on the goodwill of pakistan ' s government . there are few other countries in the world where he would be safe .

his reluctance to appear in public is explained less by his criminal activities and more by complex judicial and geo - political circumstances . good relations with the u . s . and india were a crucial part of dubai ' s efforts to transform itself into the new regional financial hub . and while the emirate refused to go so far as to hand over ibrahim to either delhi or washington , his presence threatened its ballooning business ties with india and its political friendship with the u . s .

the makers have announced the release date of the thriller , and it will hit screens across the world on aug . 12 . " hello folks , we ' re back with a bang ! team idi is proud and happy to let you know that our movie was co - produced by eros international in association with the production house , magic lantern which is ventured by dr . ajaz ibrahim and arun . idi will be distributed worldwide by eros international on the 12th of august , 2016 [ sic ] , " the makers wrote on the movie ' s facebook page .

even here , things have recently proved increasingly difficult for the bombay don , and he has had to abandon the white house in karachi . the u . s . ' s influence in pakistan has increased steadily in the past five years , and agents of india ' s raw swarm all over the country . roughly 18 months ago , the pakistani government moved him first to the turbulent province of baluchistan , and then allowed him to settle in the blue district of the capital , islamabad . as a precautionary measure , ibrahim has toned down his direct involvement in overtly criminal enterprises such as the transit of heroin : drugs , arms trafficking and the production of counterfeit money invariably attract greater interest from u . s . security agencies .

arouz irfan is the man behind the script and screen play of the jayasurya movie idi and is the culmination of a long cherished dream .

“we both are cousins and grew up together in the same house . so we had this dream conceived even before we stepped into the movie world . the production of idi started a little late , so i committed to another project by lijin jose , who directed friday , ” says arouz .

having worked previously as assistant director for movies like friday and amen , alappuzha - based arouz has been in the field for over six years . “things have been working out well since jayasurya gave us the commitment . with a huge budget and good casting , we got an opening beyond our expectation , ” adds arouz .

arouz jokes he didn’t ‘know the work’ to frame the story , as he worked only with his conviction to write the script . “we didn’t treat it as a realistic story as it is larger than life concept and more driven to the entertainment of the viewers . we have used some humourous sequences which we have adapted from real life and moulded some character . we also have given a character identity to the negative roles in the film , ” he says .

the movie also stars su . . su . . . sudhi vathmeekam star shivada , joju george and sunil sukhada in important roles .

the lives we lead are complex , and despite appearances , everyone is in it for their own gain .

this is one of the core philosophies explored in ordinary people , a short film written and directed by anand p . s .

relationships feature heavily in the roughly 11 minute long film , which depicts love and desire in various forms through different relationships : one stable , one finding its feet , one on the verge of collapse and one founded on the basis of money .

the non - linear structure adopted by the narrative slowly reveals the relationships the various characters share ; and the undercurrents of society where almost everyone uses other people for personal gain .

the aforementioned professionalism is evident in the way ordinary people looks , with director of photography bineesh viswam’s long sweeping shots adding a visual splendour to the intentionally tangled web that the story weaves . anand’s characters paint contrasting pictures , with the poor couple that pushes carts of clothes and snacks radiating a simple happiness while the youngsters in a new relationship unabashedly admit to each other the shallowness of their relationship , all this while the casually aloof sex worker goes about her business with more than one of the committed men in the story . the harsh realities in the lives of ordinary people , it would seem .

the film , produced by k . k . sudarsan , stars sree nath , chithira lakshmy , samarth ambujakshan , sreelakshmi sreekumar , manu thomas , sruthy madhavan , manmadhan and lakshmipriya menon in the main roles .

in 2010 , sooraj harris completed his acting course at barry john acting studio in mumbai . five years later , he landed in his first role in rani padmini . for those who probably wonder , it wouldn’t be so hard to recollect his character which was named after a superstar — shahrukh khan . “it was when i was a part of the production team that writer shyam pushkaran came to me and said that he wanted me to do the shahrukh role . he said i was the most apt one for the role . as a writer , if he frames a character in mind , he wouldn’t change it . ”

“as a debutant , it was a great experience to work with aashiq abu and i was multi - tasking for rani padmini , ” says sooraj . son of producer p . m . harris , sooraj says he doesn’t mind waiting to get a deserving role and is extremely uncomfortable with the tag ‘producer’s son’ . “i clearly want to state that i don’t want that privilege . i want to get a role only if i deserve it . ”

before his acting stint , sooraj was working with ace ad director sreekumar menon . “sreekumar is my mentor in everything . starting as an assistant director , my purpose was to learn more about cinema and then get into acting . i started my career as a flight dispatcher and soon , i understood that this was not my future . one day , i told my father . he asked what i want to do and i said i want to act . despite having a film background , my dad insisted i learn cinema and understand the whole process . he has never recommended for me , so i only owe him for his advice . he asked me to do the necessary preparation to be an actor and thus i joined barry john . ” he’ll also be seen with vinay forrt , asif ali and unni mukundan in avarude raavukal , directed by shanil muhammed .

king liar has dileep sporting a new and sleek get - up - one that makes him look different . it’s unlike anything we have seen on him - blazer and turtle neck , a sharp beard and the works . the designer behind the look is praveen varma , a film industry veteran of 10 years and an almost equal number of films , who swears by ‘design basics’ .

“inches and centimetres are all i have to express myself as designer , ” he says . manipulate the measurement , combine it with design basics , work around an actor’s physical limitations and show their best on film .

it is tempting to call praveen varma’s take on his craft cerebral . as costume designer for films he firmly believes that his job is to contribute cohesion and depth – a sense of wholesomeness – to a character .

to illustrate the point he uses a detail – a gun patch – from prithviraj’s get - up in the 2012 film bachelor party , directed by amal neerad ; many would remember the film’s edgy look .

“it is a tiny detail ; but one which tells something of the character and his circumstances . negligible details such as this complete the picture while adding something extra to the film . and the film was able to communicate that . ” these details would , obviously , be irrelevant if a film fails to communicate their presence . communicating through his work , therefore , is important .

this explains why in the last 10 years , starting 2006 when he began doing films , he has picked only a handful . he made his debut with amal neerad’s big b . he counts amal , along with directors such as lijo jose pellisserry and lal , directors he can depend on to communicate his ‘art’ .

“i agree that costumes don’t make a film , but i , consciously , choose to associate with filmmakers with whom i can work sans doubts . be it amal or lijo , for example , who are brilliant technicians . i need that confidence to work . ”

he is not comfortable with labelling his approach as just cerebral ; it is too layered for that . “it is art too , as ‘design’ could be defined as a controlled form of art . so there is definitely art and emotion . design treads a fine line between art and commerce and rational thinking . i walk that line . it’s simple and pleasurable if you know how . ”

of the many labels that define him – designer , film stylist , entrepreneur and teacher – it is the teacher’s he feels passionately about . his grandfather , mother , aunts , cousins , sister are all teachers ; explaining his affinity for the profession . after completing his fashion design course in the city , he taught at tirupur , for a couple of years and was on the fashion design faculty of st . teresa’s college .

an introduction to amal neerad led him to the sets of big b . “amal told me that we could work together on his next project , but a week before shoot was to begin , he told me i was on . ”

it is interesting to listen to him talk about his process . god does seem to be in the details for him . he tells of the jacket arya’s character wore in double barrel ( db ) . lijo pellissery’s comic - inspired film was an over - the - top , surreal fantasy in which styling was an important component . the film’s look was marked by bright colours and exaggerated , imaginative accessorising . “four elements on arya’s jacket came from three different sources . only i knew how the garment would shape up . ” handcuffs became an accessory for another character . his work in the film is proof of having been able to work unfettered .

“the psychology of characters was different from normal characters and hence the designs too had to different . ” he mulls over each character , adding that with styling an ordinary accessory should get a new meaning or significance . compared to the kind of work that might have gone into the costumes for db , king liar looks easy , “not so , ” praveen says . seemingly simple and straightforward , a lot of thought went into the styling of each character . “we paid attention to minute details like how a hairstyle or style of beard would work . ” in the film , asha sharath’s look is very different as is lal’s appearance , with the styling spelling luxury and opulence .

he clarifies , “the effort i put in for each film is the same . the physical effort wasn’t as much but the artistic effort invested in each film is the same . i have a team of brilliant artists to help me . for instance for db i couldn’t have done it on my own . i value and appreciate their effort . ”

jayasurya plays the role of a police officer in sajid yahiya ' s action comedy entertainer " idi . "

with the latest announcement , the audience have become a bit confused as the makers of jayasurya ' s horror comedy entertainer had also earlier announced aug . 12 as the release date of the ranjith sankar movie . when international business times india contacted the team of " pretham , " they confirmed that the horror film will also be released on the same date . if both the jayasurya - starrers hit the theatres together , then it will be a rare moment for the actor .

in " pretham , " jayasurya will be seen as a mysterious mentalist jon don bosco , who can read the the minds of people . the movie also has aju varghese , govind padmasoorya and sharafudheen , who were once college classmates and own a resort together . what happens when john ' s character enters their life form the crux of the film . meanwhile , jayasurya is also awaiting the release of boban samuel ' s " shajahanum pareekuttiyum " this eid season . it also has kunchacko boban and amala paul in the lead roles .

singer shaan has lent his voice to yeh hai india , and says the film is a great attempt to showcase the spirit of our country .

“raja hasan , who basically is a fabulous singer and has composed the music for many regional films , is entering bollywood with yeh hai india . i am very proud to be a part of the film , as it is a very good attempt to showcase the spirit and image of our country which is very positive and clean , ” said shaan .
