Arindam Chaudhuri - A Sandeep’s CULT is a brilliant book covering the dos and the don’ts for today’s CEOs

Management Guru Arindam Chaudhuri Dean Business School IIPM

Indian MP Priti Patel along with many other British MPs and Lords joined in to celebrate ‘India Rising’ as IIPM Think Tank and Planman launched two iconic books CULT and Indian Power Brands in the presence of global politicians, business tycoons, leaders and celebrities. Guy Kawasaki launched Arindam Chaudhuri and A Sandeep’s CEO guide CULT and Canadian MP Dr Ruby Dhalla launched Indian Power Brands in London recently.

CULT — a leadership and business strategy book written by management gurus, Arindam Chaudhuri and A Sandeep — smashes the dearth of business books with quite some aplomb, and more. Not only does this hard hitting 450 page CEO treatise devastate currently held notions on strategy and leadership at the top level, it also presents electrifying new global theories on how to build and manage transnational corporations.

While many management books forward premises and supposed solutions that are hypothetical at the worst and conjecture-driven at the best (especially those books that develop management theories mistakenly based just on what singular, well-known icons have followed), CULT supports each and every CEO leadership and business strategy that it presents — many of which the authors themselves have implemented in their personal CEO experiences — with massive secondary research and scholarly material. The book is a brilliant primer covering the dos and the don’ts for today’s CEOs of global corporations.

The book is concisely separated into two main focus areas — leadership and business strategy. The verbosity of the authors in brutally criticising today’s CEOs is commendable, with none of the accusations that the authors throw on today’s CEOs (some of who, the authors prove, are almost criminally destroying the organisation’s wealth) failing to miss its mark. At the same time, the authors leave no expenses in their praise for the sincerely committed CEOs, many who are named in the innumerable examples and research nuggets within CULT.

In this book, it is mentioned that if “research and development” is an immediate negative strategy, then “diversification” is a supremely positive one. If having “women CEOs” may bring down shareholders’ wealth, then ensuring that family businesses aren’t run by the successors of founding families, actually increases the same wealth. If “CSR” should never be practiced, then “celebrity endorsements” necessarily should be. The authors also specifically mention that CULT is meant for the hallowed class of CEOs of transnational corporations.

For starters, if they have invested their invaluable few pennies in the stock of any global company, this book provides them an immediate benchmark to rate their CEO (and the company) against the world’s best performing ones.

Arindam Chaudhuri: Delhi i1 Super Series team gets a name

Technologies - IT Solutions at your finger tips

Management guru Arindam Chaudhuri`s Delhi franchise will be called `Delhi Gypsies and Billionaires` in the upcoming i1 Super Series league, it was announced.

Planman Stars, a company promoted by Arindam Chaudhuri of IIPM, is the owner of the Delhi team in i1 Super Series and is expected to invest about USD 5-6 million in the league`s maiden year.

"Motorsports is as much a sport for the gypsies at heart as for the billionaires by style! The name is as much a tribute to Delhi, the city which is often referred to as Dilwalon ki Dilli, as to the city which boasts of the highest number of billionaires and is undoubtedly the style capital of India," Chaudhuri said in a statement.

"I believe sports greatly unite a community and a country over and above any differences that may exist in views, class and opinions. Nothing else can channelize the competitive spirit and passion of the youth in a more positive manner than sports.”

"That is what we aim to do through a new age sport like competitive motor racing, which has got high attention and is here to stay," Arindam added.

The i1 Super Series have already announced four franchises in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is the owner of the Mumbai team while leading Tollywood superstar Nagarjuna took over the Hyderabad side.

The caste and crew members of the upcoming film were at the institute's campus for a promotional event, performing on numbers from the flick and also giving out audio CDs to students

Make some noise for the Desi Boyz'- this was the line heard at IIPM, when the caste and crew members of the upcoming movie "Desi Boyz" gave a live dance performance at the campus on November 17.

Say cheese! (From left) John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, IIPM director Arindam Chaudhuri, Chitrangada Singh and Akshay Kumar at the promotion of the film Desi Boyz at IIPM campus.

The entire crew, including actors Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh, went full blast on stage on Desi Boyz numbers in front of a very enthusiastic crowd of students. One of the students in the audience said, "It was entertaining for us to watch a live performance by some of our favourite actors. It was an exhilarating performance."

The bikers' way
Both the male actors of the movie, Akshay and John, started with a dramatic entry by riding on their motorbikes at the campus and the excited crowd followed their movements. Their entry was followed by Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Sen, who responded equally well to the cheering audience.

The crew, during their performance, gave out music CDs to the crowd, giving a personal touch to the promotion campaign. Prof Arindam Chaudhuri, director, IIPM Think Tank, said, "At IIPM, we love exposing our students to the lighter side of life constantly, for there is always a lot to learn from it! A first-hand interactive experience with four successful Bollywood icons would definitely inspire them to strive for greater heights in life. Akshay Kumar, of course was looking as fresh and young as many of our students."

IIPM announces Anna Hazare Fellowship

Award Conferred To Irom Chanu Sharmila By IIPM

After Irom Sharmila in 2010, it is Anna Hazare who has won the 2011 IIPM Rabindranath Tagore International Peace Prize. In a bid to show strong solidarity to Anna Hazare’s determined and non-violent protest against corruption and the institution of a Jan Lokpal Bill, IIPM, the foremost institute of higher learning in the areas of management, entrepreneurship and National Economic Planning, today declared to award the veteran activist with prize money of Rs.1 crore. This was declared by Prof Arindam Chaudhuri, Director of IIPM Think Tank, after he met Anna Hazare at the protest venue near Jantar Mantar, in presence of IIPM’s Founder Director, Dr Malay Chaudhuri. The prestigious award, comprising of the highest prize money in this category in India, would be handed over to Anna Hazare on 9th May 2011 at a special ceremony being organised by the institute to commemorate the 150th Birth Anniversary of India’s first Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof Arindam Chaudhuri commented, “This award is to pay our sincere gratitude to a person who has selflessly worked throughout his lifetime for the betterment of the society, working for the poor, the needy and the general public. His non-violent approach and awe-inspiring support base has truly made him a modern day Gandhi. We at IIPM stand in strong solidarity of his protest against corruption.”

Dr Malay Chaudhuri, expressed his strong desire to start an Anna Hazare Fellowship Programme in Rural Entrepreneurship and Leadership at IIPM. This programme aims to train 50 rural youths annually, selected from all across the country, with the required managerial and entrepreneurial skills. Once trained, these young rural entrepreneurs would be provided a monthly fellowship of Rs.4,000 which they would further utilise to bring about a sustainable economic development in their specified rural belts. Last year, IIPM had honored the ‘Iron Lady’ of Manipur, Irom Chanu Sharmila with the Rabindranath Tagore Memorial Peace Prize, for her determined and committed fight for over a decade, against the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).

IIPM has honored various noted individuals from different walks of life for their contribution in social welfare, literature, fine arts, culture, etc.

Arindam Chaudhuri Analyses Why BJP should not and cannot afford to give up the demand for a JPC Probe

Prof Rajita Chaudhuri follow some off-beat trends like organizing make up sessions

JPC WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY GET NDA BACK TO POWER IN 2014

Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri

Rs. 1,76,000 crores and counting! The scam is the biggest in the country ever – or rather, the sum total of all the other scams (that have been exposed) put together, multiplied by two and more! If not a joint parliamentary committee probe now, then when? A great democracy is one with a thriving opposition. After the last elections, I had raised a question. Is this the end of the road for the BJP for long? It looked so. BJP was stuck on its Hindutva mantra, while the Congress promised youth, which looked progressive and could connect with the masses better! After all, the Hindus themselves are so coexistential that they don’t like any communal stress in their lives. But then, complacency is the mother of all failures. And failure is the mother of all successes! Congress did two big blunders. Firstly, in a haste to promote Rahul Gandhi as its future leader – and in its fear that charismatic speakers like Jyotiradiya or Sachin Pilot or Milind Deora may overshadow the son – the Congress started destroying its biggest trump card, the youth factor, which had made it look so bright. The Congress saw to it that none of them had the courage to hog any limelight or be in any platform of importance; so much so that the public has virtually forgotten Congress’ youth brigade. And the truth is whatever the slavish media in India writes (it praises every rare semi-meaningful word that Rahul says as if it’s straight from Julius Ceaser). Rahul Gandhi, unfortunately, is still not good enough to single-handedly lead the Congress yet. Like they have done with Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Congress could have made best use of Rahul as the silent guy, while the other better speakers managed the party.

The second mistake is perhaps bigger and more dangerous. Protecting a dynasty may ruin a party but abetting corruption ruins the nation. The Congress ruined its Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s personal image of crystal clear integrity by entering into a series of mega scams. A majority of population in India, being illiterate, doesn’t understand policies much; but they understand ‘chori’. I believe a conspiracy by V. P. Singh created a wave in India which made him the Prime Minister from a nobody, thanks only to an allegation of corruption that he could make the public believe in. Rajiv was a man of definite personal integrity and was highly progressive and had started an anti-corruption drive in India against Indian businessmen. V.P. Singh was a friend of the industry, being a past commerce minister, and catching the moment, he made the Bofors allegation. Rajiv – a man of great progressive thoughts, great charisma and a Gandhi who had earlier swept the elections on a massive sympathy wave – lost the elections. I would say for no reason but a wave around corruption that the masses were falsely made to believe. Rajiv Gandhi, I believe, was personally not corrupt (for party funds, even the most honest politician depends on sources; and Rajiv might have depended on a single alternative instead of a number of Indian businessmen). But can I say the same about the current Congress? Well, only a joker can. Everyone else knows what’s happening in the Congress. Yes, there is a Manmohan Singh who is clean. But he sits atop a pile of corrupt people. CWG, Adarsh, 2G, it goes on... personal wealth creation at its best; and wealth being stacked offshore. The Supreme Court rightly asked, was the Prime Minister sleeping? Being personally clean as a leader is only half the job done. You have to make a system that cleans up the whole system.

And in this failure of Congress to provide clean governance, comes the hope for BJP and NDA for 2014. Forget Hindutva; concentrate on the massive dacoity of India. In every sphere. The masses understand it and they are totally convinced today that the UPA has started rotting inside out. There seems to be a sudden wave in the Congress on why should Mukesh Ambani remain the only one with 3 lac crore rupees. Gone are the days of the ‘hundred crore’ ministers. If figures are to be believed, today the key ministers are raking in thousands of crores. The country is being looted and sold off to the highest bidder... Oops, I got it wrong here – the lowest bidder, to be precise, who gives the highest kickback. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to accept and tolerate this. And this is where the need of opposition in a democracy comes in. The BJP needs to keep up its demand for a JPC probe. Take to the streets but the JPC is a must. And the probe must be totally transparent with complete media access during hearings. That’s the way it happened in Watergate, the Iran Contra, the Clinton case. That’s how it happens in real democracies. With the Assange case, it’s clear that America is unfairly using ownership of web domains – controlled by America – to close down various websites in order to hound and shut off WikiLeaks. India could lead the way in showing what a democracy is about for a change.

The JPC is also the only way everyone can be brought to the questioning table. Every other agency can be manipulated and managed in this country by the party in power. As I wrote in my previous editorial on the Radia tapes, the Indian media is right now too busy doing what it does best: go behind glamourised cases and magnify them to grab eyeballs and totally mislead and misinform the public. The part which was leaked till then proved nothing. There are lobbyists everywhere. The real issue here is that the government is caught in a web of corruption – perhaps facilitated by a lobbyist. Here we are talking about the issue of Rs.1,76,000 crores; and there we are speaking of a few stories that were being attempted to be planted here and there... What a mind blowing diversion from the real issue. It’s hilarious the way the media is happily going on and on bashing individual journalists (glamourous, easy preys and perfect vent for pent up jealousies), who cannot hit back, instead of hitting out at the real people who are behind this scam. What the opposition and media need to do right now is demand for the JPC probe, for that’s what the Indian masses need and want. Of course, a few weeks back, I myself wrote that our Parliamentarians have no right to waste the taxpayers’ money due to non-functioning of the Parliament. But as the magnitude of the scam gets unearthed, it’s clear that there’s more of tax payers’ money at stake in the scam than in the non-functioning of the Parliament. The masses, the tax payers, they have a right to a clean regime and the opposition must help them get their rights. That’s what makes a functional propeople democracy. And why not? After all, this perhaps is the sure-shot route for the NDA to be back in power in 2014 – as I said, nothing works with the aam junta better than the corruption plank.

IIPM Prof Arindam Chaudhuri on the Indian Judicial System

Prof Rajita Chaudhuri follow some off-beat trends like organizing make up sessions

To change this ‘demonocracy’ to a democracy, we must all join hands and demand for a judiciary that is not rotting and rusting!

Last week I was very fortunate to be a part of this wonderful, moving and inspirational seminar on the ‘Power of One’ (coverage of the same is there after my editorial)! The speakers included Tarun Tejpal, who so very inspirationally spoke about the founding fathers of our nation, their vision and saga of sacrifices. Indeed, hearing Tarun speak is always a pleasure, just as much as seeing him – a real life hero of public interest journalism in India – always is! His words had the power of making me forget for a while that the same Nehru, whose birthday is ironically celebrated as Children’s Day in India, founded an India where today, seven times more kids suffer from malnutrition than they do in China – something Tarun himself quoted. He spoke of how we shouldn’t forget where India resides – in the villages. And the onus was on us to fight for the right cause. He spoke of things that at least we never forget at The Sunday Indian. There was Neelem Katara who spoke next in the most moving manner on her battle to get justice for her son against the might of one of the biggest dons of north India. At one moment, she was confident; at another, she was hurt and tender; and yet, at all moments, she was brave! Sitting there, I was inspired and in tears – alternatively hoping that one day we could be instrumental in bringing an end to this demonocracy that prevails in India. Then of course spoke Rajinder Kachroo, the man who lost his son Aman Kachroo to the menace of ragging. He spoke how ragging was criminal – I couldn’t agree more. His journey to get stringent rulings passed against ragging was the story of sheer determination; and it made me more determined to keep our crusade to weed out the cause of ragging from its roots! Then came Binu Chandran, the real life hero who got Ghazi Baba, the dreaded Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist to his end. Binu did that through his saga of physical bravery, where the decision to be taken was clear – to send his people to fight or to lead from the front. He chose the latter and got this country glory. Hearing Binu was super inspirational but I knew it was beyond us to be a real part of any such battle. Yet, I kept reminding myself that the pen is surely no less mighty than grenades. Finally, of course, we had the water crusader of India Rajendra Singh speaking! His sense of humour floored all of us; yet, everyone got the simple message strong and clear – that we needed to give our children rivers and water instead of ‘gandaa nalaas’ and droughts – a cause our social wing the Great Indian Dream Foundation (GIDF) is very passionate about. The five speakers showed us the power of one in a country like India! Through their sheer grit, determination, bravery and commitment, they individually had indeed made a positive difference to this nation. The session was followed by a great round of questions and answers, mainly focusing around the issues of bravery versus fear and the need to be brave!

And then came the most difficult challenge, to get up and speak. Speak about the power of one; that is, about bravery versus fear and yet not spare the reasons behind the sheer requirement of these brave crusades. Listening to them had recharged my brain. While I was in total awe of these amazing people, I knew very well that forget taking the all-or-nothing risk of putting everything at stake for journalism of public interests that Tarun epitomized, I was not even sure whether I – if I had been a friend of Nitish Katara – wouldn’t have myself turned a hostile witness were I to face the threat of the underworld mafia. I didn’t know if I would have had enough determination to keep pursuing the courts to change ragging laws, had I been in the place of Rajinder Kachroo. Sixteen years back, my younger brother died in a road accident – the sorrow killed me – but I didn’t do anything at all to make the Indian roads safer or get laws enacted to make it compulsory for the pillion rider to wear a helmet – though fortunately the law got enacted on its own. Of course, I was candid enough to realize that I couldn’t have done anything remotely as brave as what Binu Chandran had done. Yet, I refused to believe that I was not brave; or that, given the right environment, I wouldn’t stand up for the right cause. I refused to accept that I was fearful. I knew there was something that was missing and was required to complete the story... some realities we must be aware of, and should take up as a serious cause to fight for! Perhaps only health, education and employment come ahead of the issue I’m going to discuss. And that is the demand for a judicial system that can alter the concept of India and bring us a huge lot closer to a real democracy rather than the ‘demonocracy’ that we live in.

Arindam Chaudhuri (IIPM Dean) – ‘Every human being is a diamond’

IIPM Prof Arindam Chaudhuri on 'Media Houses and Journalists'

IIPM BBA MBA Institute: Student Notice Board

Arindam Chaudhuri argues why the Radia tapes prove nothing and why Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi remain two of India’s best journalists

When Barack Obama was running for the US presidency, the common joke in America was that win or lose, Obama was sure to get a job with MSNBC! And when he won, the joke was that “all the channels declared Barack Obama as the US President at 11 in the night; MSNBC declared him the winner six months back.” That’s representative of how blatantly MSNBC had lobbied to make Obama the US President. And every media house with an ideology and conviction does so. Yes, that’s the job of media houses and of journalists with character, ideology and convictions.

Wake up to reality, my friends! In UK and USA elections, newspapers rally behind individual parties till the very end – openly. And it’s not because the party owns the media house. During the very next elections, the media houses could support the opposition. That’s how it is in all true democracies where media doesn’t fear a backlash if the party they don’t support comes to power. India is, of course, not a democracy. Behind the illusion of democracy, demons – almost one and all – rule this country, making it a unique “demonocracy”. What the government of India does is that they create cases similar to what they did with Tehelka, and makes it clear that if you try to expose the government, they will get back at you. So, before elections, Indian media – one and all (unless in regional cases where parties themselves own media) – is always polite about the ruling party even if they per se support the opposition. And this, because they fear that in case the ruling party returns post elections, they’ll have to face the music! Even the largest media house, the Times of India, has not been spared in the past, with Ashok Jain being harassed to his literal death with cases being fabricated against him for trying to act smart with the government! Compare this with the nine page special feature that The Sun ran in 1992 on the day UK elections with the headlines commenting, “If Kinnock wins today, will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights?”

Bulbs 1 - The legal lobbying industry in United Kingdom is estimated to be worth $1.9 billion, employing over 14,000 people

Bulbs 2 - When Malaysia intended to refurbish its tainted image, the then PM mahathir Mohamed paid $1.2 million to get a date with Bush

Bulbs 3 - when a negative wave starts on any topic, the intelligent word rarely finds any space in the world of vitriolic social media

Prof Rajita Chaudhuri on 'THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU – NOT ALIENS SILLY'

IIPM Prof Arindam Chaudhuri on Our Parliament and Parliamentarians' Work

IIPM BBA MBA Institute: Student Notice Board

If our Parliamentarians cannot make productive use of Rs 530 crore that we pay to run the Parliament, they have no right to waste it as well!

IIPM Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri

In my editorials, I have vividly written on our Parliament and Parliamentarians. From suggesting that our Parliament be outsourced (after 26/11), to asking political parties to pave the way for educated youth, to criticising the way our Parliament works, to how our Parliamentarians put their personal priorities above the national ones, I have often written about them. Be that as it may, the recent deadlock in our Parliament that lasted over eight long days made me come up with a few more urgently required and practicable measures. These eight successive days of adjournment cost the exchequer a staggering Rs 63 crores! In this whole winter session of Parliament, except for a couple of days, neither of the houses functioned normally for even one single session. For the uninitiated, as per official figures cited in various media, the total budget for the two houses for 2010-11 is estimated to be around a whopping Rs 530 crore!

For the first eight days of the Parliament in this season, only 47 minutes out of 2,880 minutes were spent on the question hour in the Lok Sabha, while in Rajya Sabha, out of a total 2,400 minutes, a jaw-dropping zero minutes were spent on the question hour. Worse, only 11 percent of total time in Lok Sabha and 2.25 percent of total time in Rajya Sabha was spent on productive work! And mind you, this is just a waste of one kind wherein the Parliament session is disrupted by our unruly Parliamentarians! The second variant of wastage comes in the form of absenteeism of our Parliamentarians. In the winter session last year, attendance in the Lok Sabha was between 56 percent and 75 percent with an average for the session at 66 percent. And the third variant of wastage is in the form of non-participation of any kind from our Parliamentarians. As per PRS Legislative Research, only 52 percent of the members in Lok Sabha participated in any debate in the last winter session. Of those who spoke, 25 percent restricted themselves to just a couple of debates while merely three percent MPs participated in more than 10 debates. Similar trends can be observed in both the houses since the last couple of years.

Such an irresponsible attitude by our Parliamentarians not just wastes colossal amounts of public funds, but also delays many important bills that are awaiting their approval – a few of them since many years. Nothing much can be expected from them as a majority of them are bereft of any education and a large number of them are hardened criminals who could make it to the Parliament by muscle and money power. But then, in the absence of any kind of refrain, these Parliamentarians are holding not just the Parliament, but the whole nation to ransom. It is high time that we set up a legally enforceable code of conduct, which makes it mandatory for these Parliamentarians to adhere to certain minimum expected standards. Non-adherence to the code could possibly result in penalties (monetary, non-monetary or both) and repetition of acts that go against the code could even result in legal action.

IT’S WE PARENTS AND TEACHERS WHO CREATE RAGGERS OUT OF OUR CHILDREN

I am sure that after reading the heading, everyone must be restless to know how? But have some patience. It’s a story I repeat often. And I must repeat it again today. As a child, I remember having considerable friends in school. I am sure everyone has. But my friends’ circle from the very beginning had a specialty – it had only those people who were all very, very good in studies. If you are wondering how, the answer to that is in the place I used to stay, and still stay; a locality called Chittaranjan Park in New Delhi. This was originally that locality in Delhi where all those who had gotten displaced from Bangladesh during the partition were given a place to settle down. So, it used to be called the ‘EPDP colony’ i.e. East Pakistan Displaced Persons’ colony. This locality had its very special characteristics – maybe someday I will write about them all – including the one I referred to; i.e. it gave me, during my very early childhood, a group of friends who were all toppers! Being a locality of mostly lower middle class displaced people, the relatively well-to-do amongst them – that is, those who were middle class – managed to put their children in public schools like mine – the reputed Delhi Public School (DPS) – and believed the only way out of this lower middle class or middle class existence was to be exceptional in studies. Of course, coupled up with the Bengali orientation towards arts and literature, our locality produced some of the most brilliant students for our school. So, if our school had 15 buses and 150 scholar badge holders (the ones who excelled in studies), I believe more than a fifth of those students used to go in the bus that used to go through CR Park. My father being a teacher, he attracted friendship with all those parents whose children were toppers; and that’s how most of my friends were exceptional in studies!

Arindam Chaudhuri:There Is No Shortcut To Success

IIPM Prof Rajita Chaudhuri: The New Age Woman

‘There is no shortcut to success — the only way is through continuous effort’ they used to say in the old days. It is something that celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor largely agrees with, having learnt from his own experience of hosting a cookery show on television for the last 17 years.

“If you want to succeed, the only way is to put in an equivalent amount of continuous effort,” says Kapoor. “You have to put in the requisite labour each time in order to achieve success and cannot afford to rest on the laurels of your last success. Each time I host my cookery show, I start afresh,” he says.

Management guru Arindam Chaudhuri believes implicitly in the principle of consistent effort and he illustrates this with an example. Arindam had a problem with the topic of differential calculus while he was doing his management studies. “Every paper that had an element of differential calculus in it, I couldn’t do well in initially. But then by practising non-stop, I remember I topped the paper finally!

One has to keep trying hard, at times fall, get up and try again. This is one of the key secrets to success. Too often things haven’t happened the way I wanted and it’s only continuous striving that’s helped. I believe that passion is of no use unless it’s backed by sustained sincerity.”

TV actor Sweta Keswani, who while believing in the usefulness of luck in success, also believes that one has to back it up with effort.”When I was relatively new as an actress, I made a cold call to a well-known lady producer for work. We spoke for some time and she seemed keen to have me in her production but no call came from her office as expected. Two weeks later the channel I worked for recommended me to her and I went to see her again. When I reminded her that I’d met her a fortnight earlier on my own, without the clout of a powerful channel behind me, she at once approved my selection. I went on to do 162 episodes of the serial, owing a good part to the effort I’d made earlier. Effort is an indispensable pre-requisite for success. Don’t expect luck to find you, you have to go out and seek it.”

And as Sanjeev Kapoor says, success when achieved is the biggest motivator. “Once you achieve it, you’re motivated to go out and make even more efforts.”

Do Dooni Chaar Has A Compelling StoryLine...

IIPM Prof Rajita Chaudhuri: The New Age Woman

It looks like it’s going to be a swell season for producer Arindam Chaudhuri. His upcoming film ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ has a strong storyline and the characters will surely appeal to the masses.

‘Do Dooni Chaar’ has pure Punjabi feel

The man, who had made a mark in the industry for his distinctive movies, had only a series of flops to his credit, but this hasn’t bogged him down a bit and he’s still confident that his latest Rishi-Neetu starrer will connect with the audiences.

Pinning all his hopes on his upcoming film, which is supposedly inspired from his father’s life as a teacher, Arindam stated, “The story is about the sweet journey of a middle-class man from a two-wheeler to a four-wheeler. It is about how he copes with the demands of his children and at the same time competes with neighbours."

This comedy film, which is directed by debutant Habib Faisal, has traces of Punjabi feel and is completely Delhi centric.

When he was asked that his lead stars Rishi-Neetu will manage to attract the audiences to the theatres, Arindam stated, “Yes, big stars definitely help in bringing the audience to the theatre, but if your script is not good, audience will not relate to it. Getting a star is not an issue, but getting a good script definitely is. We have confidence in our script.”

Bringing Rishi-Neetu on-screen together was challenge for Arindam Chaudhuri

Taking a cue from the latest reports, it’s also believed that for essaying the female lead in ‘Do Dooni Chaar’, Juhi was first approached and not Neetu, as Arindam wasn’t sure whether Neetu will be interested in a comeback after three decades.

Talking about Neetu, Arindam Chaudhuri stated, "Rishiji was not sure whether Neetuji will agree. We approached Juhi Chawla but the actress did not want to play mother to an 18-year-old. We finally decided to go back to Neetuji and she loved the script."
The producer also added that it was a huge challenge and achievement for him to bring Rishi and Neetu on screen together for ‘Do Dooni Chaar’.

It’s also believed that to get a middleclass look in the film, Neetu had gone through a complete makeover and her clothes had been bought from Sarojini Nagar.

INSTEAD OF CREATING SUCH HYPE AROUND COMMONWEALTH GAMES, INDIA SHOULD HAVE LONG AGO STOPPED PARTICIPATING IN THESE SLAVISH GAMES

IT IS TIME THAT OUR GOVERNMENT AT THE CENTRE LOOKS AT SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS ITS KEY BUSINESS!

The citizens of the subcontinent stand betrayed, not just because of the shameless conduct of their sporting heroes, but for an equally irresponsible board and a self-centered political class!
