Today, I Fell In Love With Ameesha Patel

Ameesha Patel.

Today I watched Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and I was over the moon in love with Amisha Patel. I had to turn my back to all other things till the end credits. Indeed love conquers all.



Amisha Patel's portrayal of Sakina as the muse of Tara Singh was awesome.

They say the classic Sholay is the greatest Bollywood movie of all time, but Gadar: Ek Prem Katha to me is not only the greatest Bollywood movie I have watched so far since my childhood, but it is the greatest of all movies I have watched so far, except the Hollywood classics King of Kings and The Ten Commandments.


The full story of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha:





Set in 1947 during the Partition of India, the film tells the story of a truck driver, Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), a Jatt Sikh, who falls in love with a Muslim girl, Sakina (Amisha Patel), belonging to an aristocratic family.

The story begins with Sikhs and Hindus being attacked by Muslims in Pakistan when trying to migrate to India on a train in response to the killing of Muslims going to Pakistan from India to get revenge, Sikhs and Hindus react by doing the same thing. During the Hindu-Muslim riots that erupted soon after the Partition, Tara saves Sakina from a murderous mob chasing her as she failed to get onto the train after being pushed and lost in the crowd. As the mob want to rape her and then murder her, Tara Singh defends Sakina and then converts her to Sikhism to protect her.

While driving back to Tara's house, the story has a major flashback showing the relationship between Tara and Sakina before this incident and how they knew each other. Tara is a lorry driver, but his real ambition is to become a singer. Some girls in college who are friends of Sakina fool Tara that they have got him a shot an annual music show in return for his doing a for favor for them. Tara performs badly in from of the music teacher, who is portrayed by Sakina (Amisha Patel). His friend then gives him tablets that help him prove his singing skills. Soon after it is shown that Sakina is not the real music teacher, which saddens him. When performing on the music function Sakina announces that she will not do her act instead gives Tara a chance to sing despite the will against the seniors at the college.

Subsequently and back to present, Sakina starts living in Tara’s house and their respect culminates into love. Sakina and Tara Singh get married and become parents of a baby boy. Their life seems like a bed of roses, until Sakina sees an old newspaper that has a photograph of her father (Amrish Puri), whom she believes had been killed during the riots during the Partition.

Her father is now the mayor of Lahore. When Sakina calls him from the Pakistani Embassy in Delhi, he arranges to fly her to Lahore. However, Tara and their son, who are supposed to accompany her to Lahore, are told at the last minute that their visa formalities have not been completed, which compels them to stay in India. This does not stop Tara. He and his son accompanied by a friend enter Pakistan illegally at the border. There they find out that Sakina is getting married and reach her before the marriage can start and reunite.

Seeing this, Sakina's husband-to-be attacks Tara but is instead injured by him. A large fight was about to break until the priest stops them, as this can end up harming Sakina's father's career in politics. Ashraf Ali (Amrish Puri) agrees for their marriage under two conditions: they should live in Pakistan and Tara should adopt Islam.

These conditions are accepted by Tara in public the next day which was against Ashraf Ali's plans. He makes Tara insult his country to make him believe he is a true Pakistani, which enrages him and this makes him kill the mob that was hired by Ashraf to kill him. Tara, Sakina, their son, and a friend manage to escape.

After a long turmoil they get a cotton mall train which will be their ticket to India, but Ashraf Ali finds out and he takes some men to stop them. In the fight Sakina gets shot by her own father. In the hospital Sakina in a coma which makes Ashraf Ali realizes his mistake. Sakina gains consciousness after having a nightmare. The movie ends with Ashraf Ali accepting Tara as his son-in-law and they return to India.

Range Rover Evoque Special Edition Designed With Victoria Beckham In Beijing

Range Rover Evoque Special Edition Designed With Victoria Beckham Makes Global Debut In Beijing, China

BEIJING, April 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Land Rover and Victoria Beckham tonight unveiled a new luxurious bespoke, hand-finished Range Rover Evoque Special Edition.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120422/NY91971 )

The exclusively designed four-seat coupe Range Rover Evoque Special Edition is the result of collaboration with Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern, and Victoria Beckham, winner of the coveted Designer Brand of the Year award at the 2011 British Fashion Awards.





Land Rover appointed Beckham as the brand's Creative Design Executive in July 2010. Over the past 18 months, Beckham and the Land Rover design team have worked to create her Special Edition of their award-winning Range Rover Evoque.

­­­Gerry McGovern, Director of Design, Land Rover explains, "The design of the Range Rover Evoque has truly captured the hearts of customers worldwide. Working with Victoria, the intention was not to change the fundamental architecture and award-winning design of the Range Rover Evoque. We wanted to create a Special Edition that extends its character in a new direction through understated, restrained color and detail changes."

"Both Land Rover and Victoria Beckham are British luxury brands with credibility and global appeal. This dual 'Britishness' makes the collaboration even more exciting especially when considering the huge audience for bespoke products around the world, particularly in China, Russia and Brazil where Land Rover is growing."

Victoria Beckham said, "I am very excited to be working with Land Rover as I have an enormous amount of respect for the brand. I've always driven a Range Rover; for me they are the epitome of quality and luxury.

"The Land Rover design team and I worked together to create mood boards that reflected my love of timeless and classic design, drawing inspiration from yachts, luxury jets and classic cars.

"It's the small detail that makes all the difference. I want everyone who gets into this car to feel special and empowered by its quality and craftsmanship. I like that it feels luxurious but also has quite a classic edge to it as well as a contemporary feel."

Land Rover Design Director Gerry McGovern said, "Working with Victoria, we quickly recognized our similar design tastes and ambition for this car. For example, at the first meeting, Victoria herself inspired the use of rose gold. She was wearing dark clothes and no jewelry apart from a rose gold, man's watch. I was struck by the juxtaposition of the masculine watch on a very elegant, feminine wrist. We both agreed it was the ideal way to introduce a softer touch to the bold, assertive exterior color scheme.

"Throughout the process we ensured the vehicle would appeal equally to both men and women. Victoria always maintained that she wanted her husband David to be proud to drive this car. We fully enjoyed working with Victoria and I am confident this special edition will appeal to discerning luxury consumers globally."

Design overview

Quintessential British luxury is a hallmark of both the Land Rover and Victoria Beckham brands. This Special Edition allows that message to be further strengthened through the use of the finest quality materials and craftsmanship, which highlight the already ultra-premium interior ambience of the Range Rover Evoque.

Powered by the lightweight, all-aluminum 240HP 2.0-liter gasoline engine the Range Rover Evoque Special Edition will be hand-finished by Land Rover's "Engineered to Order" division (ETO) in Warwickshire.

Essential to the design is the high quality hand-finished matte grey paint, unique 20" gloss black forged alloy wheels and luxurious rose-gold details, limited solely to this Special Edition.

Complementing the ultra-modern, stealth-like exterior is an elegant and luxurious interior. The sport design four-seats are finished in a semi-aniline Vintage Tan leather, with a bold 'baseball' stitch detail chosen by Victoria as a tongue-in-cheek reference to her athletic husband David. The same leather is also used to cover the door inserts, arm rests and central storage box lid.

Bespoke luggage completes the holistic design package that is the Range Rover Evoque Special Edition with Victoria Beckham. This four-piece set is based on the designer's own luggage range, using the same high-quality internal structure and clothed in hand stitched black leather. The set comprises two his and her wheeled suitcases and wash bags, all of which are lined in the same microsuede used for the roof lining, and as a finishing touch the zip pulls are finished in the same matte grey as the exterior.

A beautiful hand stitched leather wallet, with rose-gold detail containing a guide to the exclusive features of the car is co-branded Range Rover Evoque and signed by Victoria Beckham.

Standard Equipment

An 825W audio system is provided by British experts Meridian and features 17-speakers and state-of-the-art amplifiers to create the company's patented Trifield® surround sound which delivers all-enveloping sound to all four seats.
Entertainment options include digital and satellite television, DVD playback, 10-disc virtual CD multiplayer and digital radio tuners.
The Range Rover Evoque Special Edition with Victoria Beckham features Land Rover's hallmark full-time, four-wheel drive and award-winning Terrain Response® system.
Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 240HP of torque delivered to the wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox with steering wheel mounted paddles for full driver control
Surround Camera System offers a 360-degree view of the car's surroundings.

The Range Rover Evoque went on sale in September 2011 and is the recipient of more than 100 international awards thanks to its unique combination of dramatic design underpinned by the brand's core credentials of capability and luxury.

The Range Rover Evoque Special Edition with Victoria Beckham is limited to a maximum of 200 vehicles to be sold worldwide and will go on sale first in China with deliveries due from October 2012. To register interest visit: www.landrover.com.

The Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages Premiere “Chic Summer”

LONDON, June 21 /PRNewswire/ -This year, the Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages by Value Retail premiere ‘Chic Summer’; a celebration of authentic European culture distilled into each Village’s open-air shopping promenade, complementing the luxury outlet boutiques, restaurants and cafés with a lively programme of summer fun showcasing the very best of local fashion, art, gastronomy and music.

Each of the nine Villages will be decked out with giant topiary sculptures in the shape of European icons to bring a touch of whimsy during the summer months. Look out for an Eiffel Tower in La Vallée Village – a reminder that Paris, the home of couture, is just 35 minutes away. Maasmechelen Village pays homage to The Atomium, the Belgium monument built on the occasion of the Word Exposition of 1958, Kildare Village will showcase a unique “garden of delights” designed by award winning floral designer Joe Massie, whilst Fidenza Village’s greenery will be reminding us of the musical theme of the Arena di Verona, the stage for many of Verdi’s operas. And so the scene is truly set for a very Chic Summer.

The Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages have delved into the DNA of the local regions to offer the most delicious and refreshing summer dip into Europe’s brightest and best. La Roca Village channels Barcelona’s remarkable gastronomy with Michelin-starred Catalan cooking as well as fashionably chic cocktails by internationally renown mixologist Javier de las Muelas, served on a cool summer terrace whilst Las Rozas Village will be luring some of the world’s hottest DJs to take a break from their decks in Ibiza and come to the Village. Here, fashion turns fiesta and late night shopping acquires a whole new vibe when played out to the beats of summer’s best tunes.

Bicester Village’s celebrations, inspired by the Diamond Jubilee, will honour the traditional British tea party and will take place against the backdrop of England’s most distinguished designers. Kildare Village near Dublin presents the very best of Irish hospitality, courtesy of Good Food Ireland, which will be tantalising taste buds with the country’s finest artisan produce. Throughout the summer visitors will also be able to follow the ‘Heritage & Genealogy Trail’ around Kildare town to discover the fascinating heritage of one of the oldest towns in Ireland and then journey back in time with the Irish Family History Foundation to trace their Irish ancestry.

Visitors to Germany should head to the ‘Summer Lounge’ at both Ingolstadt Village and Wertheim Village to enjoy live music events, street art and cocktails all summer long. One of the highlights will be the ‘White Chic’ celebration on 8 June featuring special performances by headline DJs.

Located close to Cologne and Brussels, Maasmechelen Village will host a series of exciting events in parallel with Manifesta 9, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art. Throughout the summer, guests will be able to visit the ‘art walk’ starting at the Tuinwijk UNESCO World Heritage site- and featuring sculptures by world-renowned artists including Jan Fabre. Those with more creative tendencies won’t want to miss participating in Re©reate alongside famous artists who will be creating banners to be hung along a red wire connecting Maasmechelen Village with the former mine site of Eisden, in a gigantic statement of eclectic creativity.

Creativity continues as La Vallée Village turns fashionably kitsch! Through a unique exhibition featuring French icons reinterpreted in an unexpected way using Instagram and Kinect 3D technology, visitors will be able to interact with this “live” exhibition full of surprises. If it’s a touch of la dolce vita that you seek, the summer season kicks off in style at Fidenza Village with music and cocktails in an exclusive lounge bar, with live performances from Arena di Verona and late night shopping every Thursday.

It is not for nothing that the nine Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages orbit Europe’s most dynamic cities. These are places celebrated for their culture and history, cities to include on your European itinerary this summer and discover a world of fun, festivities and chic shopping, with the world’s leading luxury brands offering savings of up to 60%*, and sometimes more, all year round.
