Shuddh Desi Romance

Shuddh Desi Romance, released internationally as Random Desi Romance, is an Indian romantic comedy film directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra. The film features Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and newcomer Vaani Kapoor in leading roles.
The film has Sushant Singh Rajput as Raghu, Parineeti Chopra as Gayatri, Vaani Kapoor as Tara, Rishi Kapoor as Tauji, Tarun Vyas and Kunal Kumar.
Shuddh Desi Romance is a fresh rom-com about the hair-raising minefield between love, attraction and commitment. The movie is based in today’s modern yet desi heartland. Sushant Singh Rajput plays the role of a casual “Boy-next-door” Raghu and Parineeti Chopra plays the bold role of Gayatri – his lover. Vaani Kapoor portrays the role of a girl named Tara, who is also a lover of Raghu.
To be exact, Shuddh Desi Romance is about the journey of three restless young people who junk the society's syllabus for finding love and decide to follow their heart. Raghu (Sushant Singh Rajput), a tourist guide in Jaipur, wants a love in his life, and that's it. The rest he's going to figure out along the way. Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra), a part-time instructor in an English speaking institute, has been around the block a few times and knows the scene, warts and all. Tara (Vaani Kapoor), who's dying to get out there and fly, knows what's right for her, but a little experimenting never hurt anybody, did it?
When their lives crisscross, their beliefs get challenged, and their loves, tested. We all want it all...the love, the attraction, the relationship, the commitment. But when we get it, it may not be in the way we recognise.
Thus From the director of Band Baaja Baaraat and the writer of Chak De! India, comes a very real love story about the hair raising minefield between love, attraction and commitment. Thus Shuddh Desi Romance is a romantic comedy.
The soundtrack is produced by music composing duo Sachin-Jigar. It contains four vocal songs and remaining are instrumental tracks. The tracks have a huge Rajasthani folk influence mixed with Bossa and Techno.
The film has songs like Tere Mere Beech Mein sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Mohit Chauhan, Gulabi by Jigar Saraiya and Priya Saraiya, Chanchal Mann Ati Random by Divya Kumar, Shuddh Desi Romance by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade, Mujhe Kiss Kar Sakte Ho (Instrumental), Love In Jaipur (Instrumental), Tez Waala Attraction (Instrumental), Boyfriend Banogey (Instrumental) and Bhanwara Ma Bhatke (Instrumental).

One Direction: This Is Us

One Direction: This Is Us (also referred to as 1D3D) is a 2013 British-Irish 3-D concert film centering on the boy band One Direction. It is directed and produced by       Morgan Spurlock and has Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson playing important roles.
The film has an interesting story. Billed as an intimate all-access look at life on the road for the global music phenomenon, This Is Us follows the lives of the five members of the boy band, One Direction. It contains live concert footage from London's O2 Arena, and footage from their lives pre- and post-X Factor appearance, and gives insight into the preparation for their concerts and ultimately what it is like to be One Direction.
The movie starts with super cute childhood photos of all five band members, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. The boys all came from various Irish working class backgrounds and all shared the dream to sing.
Most people know Simon Cowell scouted them from a round of The X Factor auditions and got them together, causing tween-girls all over Great Britain to rejoice. It's hard to pinpoint the reasons for their truly meteoric rise to fame — even Cowell admits he doesn't know, considering he's not a "neuroscientist."

Award-winning documentary director Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) has the gumption to include a short explanation from a real neuroscientist who explains that when teen girls hear the music of One Direction, dopamine is released in their brains causing "joy, shivers and goosebumps."
