Naaz Cinema Building in South Mumbai was the address for the film distribution and exhibition trade in the city, besides all the peripheral businesses that served and survived on these trades. The cinema itself had seen some glorious days with a number of great hits screened there and the building above it was where just about every major film distributor and exhibitor worked from. Whether it was a first-time film producer, or a regular maker, a visit to Naaz was a must to sell his film.
I remember two such stories about unsold films, though there may be many more.
Producer K C Bokadia had made ‘Pyar Jhukta Nahin’ with Mithun Chakraborty and Padmini Kolhapure. Those days, when it came to a Mithun film, the distributors were spoilt for choice; they had flooded the market.
Bokadia took the proposal to the office of a distributor and got an offer which he did not like.

Mallika Sherawat, who had been out of the news buzz-stop for some time now, is back in the news. This time round, she has reportedly received death threats for acting in the K.C. Bokadia directed film Dirty Politics, that's based on contentious Bhanwari Devi case.
Speaking about this, Sherawat said that besides her, even her brother received a call that warned her to stay away from doing this film. Meanwhile, K.C. Bokadia said that even he has received lots of threatening calls. He added that even though he has been inspired by the Bhanwari Devi case, he has presented it in his own style.
For the uninitiated, Bhanwari Devi was a Rajasthan-based nurse who was killed in the year 2011. This case became sensational because it included the names of almost seventeen people, including former Rajasthan Minister's Mahipal Maderna, amongst the accused.

Mumbai, Dec 24: Remember Mithun Chakraborty's career-changing hit "Pyar Jhukta Nahin"? The 1985 blockbuster changed the direction of the actor's career from an action-dance star to a romantic hero. Now its producer K.C. Bokadia has hit on an ostensibly ingenious idea to cash in on the popularity of the film to resurrect Govinda's career.
He has decided to rename his new film, Govinda and Priyanka Chopra starrer "Deewaana Main Deewaana", shot four years ago, as "Pyar Jhukta Nahin". The film is set for a Jan 4 release.
A bit late in the day considering all the film's publicity ad marketing content have gone out with the.

All izz not well for Tabu and Sunny Deol. Their once- impressive careers have hit a low patch lately. And to make it worse K.C. Bokadia has suddenly woken up with a long in-the-cans film Khuda Kasam. Earlier entitled The Challenge, the film was deemed as good as gone when it was miraculously revived. When asked about it Tabu's terse reply is, "It's a film that was made 12 years ago." Sunny and Tabu were a hit pair in J P Dutta's Border. But pretty much a flop in their other films together namely Maa Tujhe Salaam, Jaal The Trap and Himmat. Sunny defends the producer's right to release his film as and when he wants. "It's his money, and his film. He can release it when he wants. Who am I to object to it? People don't realize how much effort goes into a film and how painful it...

His near decade and a half old film, Sanam Teri Kasam, is for the nth time looking at making it to the theaters. Starring Pooja Bhatt (yes, you read it right) as Saif's love interest, the film was made during mid 90s when both the actors were just at the beginning stage of their beginning. Earlier titled Yeh Pyaar Hi To Hai, the film didn't take much time in its principal shooting but has been stuck ever since then. It also changed hands from producers as it moved from K.C. Bokadia to Ultra. The company is now yet again trying to release the film by (rig...
