Theme for a dream
It was a glamorous evening at DLF Place, Saket where International Institute of Fashion Technology (IIFT) celebrated its 19th anniversary with a fabulous fashion show Glamoria 2009 — Fashion Statements by Next Generation. The show was designed by the IIFT students from over 70 centres. The show was directed by Ratnadeep Lal the founder and the chairman of IIFT Group. The programme was divided into two parts; the first part saw themes like Free Spirit, Yesteryear Elegance, ART World, Fresh Floral, Flairy Passion and many more. While the second part had themes like Black and White, Metallic Sparkle, Comic and Toy story, Couture Romance, Trash Fashion and so on.
Taxing time
Multiplex and single screen cinema hall owners gathered recently at Delite Cinema to express their discontent over a pending bill at the Delhi Assembly that might empower the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to levy a tax of up to Rs.1000 per show on all screens across the city.
The press conference came on the heels of Delhi government’s plans to impose the bill that proposes to amend the IV Schedule of the DMC Act, which would increase the tax per show or theatre tax on cinema theatres from the present limit of Rs.10 per show to Rs.1000.
Shashank Raizada, President of the National Association of Motion Pictures Exhibitors said, “This tax would lend a final blow to the industry, keeping in mind the tough times under which it is already reeling and the several challenges posed by issues like piracy and television channels that telecast movies. Moreover, most of the movies released these days result in losses.”
Sandeep Marwah, who was representing the Film Producers Guild, bemoaned the fact that “there are only 55 theatres left in Delhi. Twenty five have already closed down. These theatres form a part of the heritage and we should push for protecting them. Moreover, it is still the common man’s favourite source of entertainment.”
