Musical Maestros Sonu Nigam and Bickram Ghosh who is making their debut as Music Directors with the forthcoming film “Jal” directed by Girish Malik, performed in the city at a special, one of a kind water-less pre-Holi celebration. The idea behind the event was to propagate the idea of saving water by going waterless for the Holi festivity. The cast and crew of ‘JAL’ applauded the initiative and talked about the significance of saving water and how the world is facing a water crisis at the moment. Held at the New Moti Bagh Colony, a luxury residential enclave for top government officials, the event saw over 500 of the country’s top civil servants and bureaucrats in attendance. This was in addition to the presence of the Director- Producer Girish Malik, film’s Producers Puneet Singh, Sumit Kapoor and Yogesh Mittal, Co-Producer Ajay Swami, Associate Producer Arun Tyagi, Music Director duo comprising of the legendary Sonu Nigam and World renowned percussionist & table maestro Bickram Ghosh, and its key cast Purab Kohli, Kirti Kulhari, Mukul Dev, Saidah Jules and Yashpal Sharma, and esteemed members of the media, amongst others.  

The evening started with a pre-Holi celebration which was followed up by a special screening of the excerpt from the film and an interaction with the stars. The highlight of the evening however, was the high voltage live performance by Sonu Nigam and Bickram Ghosh who played tracks from the film. Their captivating act left the audience spellbound, ending the event on a high note. The entire team then captivated over 2000 Delhities at the ‘Looks’ silver jubilee celebration at a Vasant Kunj farm.

“Jal” is the story of a young water diviner, Bakka who is gifted with a special ability to find water in the desert.  With the backdrop of water paucity, the film tells a complex and fascinating story of love, relationships, enmity, deceit and circumstances that bring about the dark side of human character. It is a high-octane, action- drama with a shocking climax. Shot on an epic scale, the film is a visual treat and has managed to capture ‘Rann Of Kutch’ like never before prompting even ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ to applaud Jal as “a breathtakingly photographed tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.”

Produced by OneWorld, in association with Clapstem Productions and NFDC, and distributed by DAR Film Distributors, the film is scheduled to hit the silver screen on 4th April 2014. Directed by Girish Malik, “Jal” stars Purab H Kohli, Kirti Kulhari, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Saidah Jules, Mukul Dev, Yashpal Sharma and Ravi Gossain amongst others.
