YRF's new banner 'Y FILMS' unveils its animation video!

Originally posted at Bollyspice

Just recently we told you about Yash Raj Films special initiative to cater to its younger audiences with the launch of "Y-Films" supported by an adage that goes, "A New Studio with Films of the Youth, by the Youth, for the Youth". The posters released at the launch were a simple logo embodying revolution.

Now we bring to you the extremely cool animated film unveiled earlier today to kickoff the banner's new logo and brand Y FILMS.

Designed and conceptualized by Nupur Bhargava of Invisible Rabbit, the 30-sec promo shows the journey of the conventional urban youth as he races past life juggling education, society and passion.

Dance your way into Guiness Records with Terrence Lewis!

At the recently held Indian Film Festival 2011 in Melbourne, Munni aka Malaika Arora Khan made over 1200 people dance to her tune for around 3 minutes, thus bestowing the famed 'Munni Badnaam' with yet another honour of The Guiness World of Records. What began as a random jiggy-wiggy by a handful spectators during the movie screening as part of the opening night of the festival, caught the fancy of the Guiness reps and led to 1200 people dancing to choreographed beats of Shiamak's trainers. 

Taking it a step forward, Mumbai-based choreographer Terence Lewis (aka ex-judge Dance India Dance) has accepted the challenge to perform a similar feat in Mumbai this weekend. Everyone is allowed to be part of this BIGGEST Bollywood dance class by joining in on Saturday, 19th March 2011. And though you dont have to be a Munni or a Sheila to be part of it, you definitely need to be able to swing those hips, as the participants would be expected to complete the 1-hr training to avoid being disqualified.

I can't guarantee any glitterati making their presence at this one, but you can surely expect ONE helluva experience! And if you're a little shy or have two left feet, feel free to join in & cheer out loud for the participants!
