By Dinesh Kamath
3 Dev

The film is bankrolled by Chitan Rana of R2 Phillum Productions and cinematography for the film is handled by Soni Singh. The Bollywood musical duo Sajid-Wajid have been roped into compose and score music for the film.
All Indians are generally superstition dominated, where people strongly rely on God to resolve the problems or issues that are beyond them. This is where beliefs and superstitions come into the picture. But what is really superstition or belief or God? The movie is a knock to the superstitious belief in our country. In a widely superstitious country like India, people rely on God to guide them out of problems that are beyond them. But, what exactly is God?
The film has Karan Singh Grover as Vishnu, Kunaal Roy Kapur as Mahesh/Shiva, Ravi Dubey as Brahma, Priya Banerjee as Vani, Poonam Kaur as Radha, Raima Sen as Bhairavi, Kay Kay Menon as Shanu, Tisca Chopra as Savitri, Prosenjit Chatterjee as Professor, Kay Kay Menon as Satyavan, Arya as Thenomozhi and Pooja Bose as an item number "Ban Dance Mein Kutta".
The film titled as 3 Dev depicts and implies the three main gods in Hinduism namely Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva. The tagline of the film is Undercover Bhagwan. The role of Vishnu is played by Karan Singh Grover, the role of Brahma is played by Ravi Dubey and the role of Shiva is played by Kunaal Roy Kapur in the film.
All songs of the film were scored by duo Sajid-Wajid and lyrics are penned by Kausar Munir. The film has songs like "Nikkamma" and "Ban Dance Mein Kutta".

Tarpan

Tarpan is a film directed by Neelam R Singh, produced by Neelam Singh and written by Shivmurti.
The movie is about Social Unjustice. The word ‘TARPAN’ is derived from the root word ‘Trupt’ meaning to satisfying others. Tarpan literally means offering water to God.  Sages, souls of ancestors to satisfy them through it. The story of the film – Tarpan deals with this sensitive subject and treats it with a difference. A young girl Rajpatiya of lower caste is molested by a Brahmin, upper-caste boy Chander. The issue quickly gets political mileage and predictably, Chander gets bail and other benefits that accompany lack of witness in the case. The girl’s brother, in the process of saving the life of local politician, hits Chander. He is convinced by the local politician to slice off the nose of the boy accused… an ultimate insult… the perfect revenge. Girl’s brother gets provoked and slices off the nose of Chander...but the girl’s father claims responsibility and accepts the blame of slicing off the nose of the accused. It’s a significant event where a Dalit has taken classic revenge. Though the father pretends that he is saving his son. He actually chases the glory of getting his name mentioned in the newspapers and being the pioneer who engineered the plot to slice off the nose of the accused and successfully executed it. The father claims that it is his Tarpan… his offering to his previous generations who have suffered for no fault of theirs.
The film has Rahul Chahan, Arun Shekhar, Sanjay Kumar, Nand Kishore Pant, Padamja Rai, Nilam Kumari, Lalit Jogi, Vandana Asthana and Poonam Ingle.
Music is by Manoj Nayan.
