FashionTV Films & Wild Elephant Motion Pictures Launch ‘Tamanchey’

To start August with a bang! FashionTV Films and Wild Elephant Motion Pictures celebrate the theatrical launch of new action film collaboration ‘Tamanchey.’

Starring Bollywood actress Richa Chadda (Babu) and Nikhil Dwivedi (Munna), ‘Tamanchey,’ is an intense love story that revolves around two convicts, who escaped from police custody and the adventures that follow while they are on the run from the law.

The film, shot in various parts of North India and Gujarat, takes you on the journey of a twisted love story filled with action, comedy and romance.

“I had a great time playing the feisty Babu, who is as quick with a sharp remark as she is with a gun. I hope people love the trailer and the film,” Chadda says.

Following suit of the controversial plot, the stars turned up to the launch party in handcuffs and accompanied by Policemen, as well as Producer, Suryaveer Singh Bhullar, and Tom Light, Vice President of Business Development of FashionTV.

‘Tamanchey’ will hit screens September 19, and even if you don’t understand Hindi, the trailer is enough to understand that this is going to be the box office hit of Fall. See it First on FashionTV.

FashionTV Films is the latest venture of FashionTV President and Founder, Michel Adam. With ‘Falconman’ and ‘Last Train To Shanghai’ among its big screen projects, you can expect to see our movies coming soon to a cinema near you, as well as on FashionTV VOD platforms!

Which Haute Couture Bride Are You?

Tradition has it that the bride should be dressed in white, demure and pure: but not in the case of Haute Couture! Challenging society’s ideology of the classic bride, this Fall, designers opted for controversy, or should we say reality, over tradition. So, tell us… which Haute Couture bride are you?

1. Drag Queen Bride | Jean Paul Gaultier

He is the enfant terrible of the fashion world and not intent on losing his reputation any time soon. This season, Jean Paul Gaultier, presented his most challenging bride to date: the drag queen bride.  Eurovision winner, Conchita Wurst, closed the haute couture show at Paris Fashion Week, resplendent in a black and red vampire-themed gown.

2. Classic Princess Bride | ELIE SAAB

King of red carpet attire, Elie Saab, left no room for casual couture this season. He presented a magical display of cocktail gowns, sparkle, sheer and the finest craftsmanship. The collection takes inspiration from Paris, the City of Light, through its ethereal interiors. The jewel-toned colors of the collection’s palette recall the faceted, prismic reflections of crystal chandeliers. And the bridal gown was classic princess couture.

3. Pregnant Bride | Chanel

This Fall, Karl Lagerfeld presented a chic and regal Haute Couture collection at the Grand Palais, which took inspiration from visionary architect Le Corbusier’s Parisian apartment. The bride entered the Grand Palais as if it was a church; model Ashleigh Good appeared like a virgin dressed in a white Empress-style dress. When suddenly, to onlookers surprise a dramatic bump reveals that the bride is seven-months pregnant! Talk about Taboo.

4. Sparkletastic Bride | Zuhair Murad

If you’ve always dreamed of shining your way down the aisle, then this dress is for you! Lebanese designer, Zuhair Murad, presented a collection that gave a nod to the architectural renaissance reflective in Lebanon’s capital city, Beirut.

In FashionTV’s 18-part London series — which has been edited together into one full show — enjoy the stories of the girls living together in their London apartment; but life as an aspiring model isn’t as glamorous as it may seem. From ants in the kitchen to bitchy flatmates, cold showers and fierce scrutiny by model agencies, Chung quickly learns that modelling isn’t going to be an easy ride.

Question is, will she or won’t she get that famous magazine cover to kick-start her career or will she face more obstacles in her struggle to success? WATCH to find out.

And off the back of our London series’ success we made an LA version too! You too can see all the mini-episodes rolled into one and follow  Emily, Nicole, Lola, Kristen, Anna-Maria, Katya and Serrina  as they navigate the LA fashion scene.
