SUBHASH GHAI'S NEW FILM - JOGGER'S PARK
(1 September 2003)

....It happened one morning between young, vibrant, attractive Jenny in her prime, and elegant, famous celebrity Justice Chatterjee in his autumn. There was a new fragrance… there was a new song…there was a new summer at Joggers Park!

Jogger's Park is the latest anticipated blockbuster from Subhash Ghai's. Ghai is the same director who weaved his magic in memorable movies such as 'Taal', 'Pardes' and 'Yaadein', all being box office hits of the year. He is widely regarded as one of India's most prolific filmmakers.

The film boasts an impressive star cast including veteran actor from Kolkata, Victor Banerjee - an Indian actor of international repute who starred in films such as 'Passage to India'. The heroine is Perizaad Zorabian, a budding new star from Mumbai who starred in off-beat film 'Bollywood Calling'.

Produced by Ghai's established company Mukta Arts Ltd, Jogger's Park undoubtedly has a sense of finesse. It has been shot in one stretch in just 38 days; entirely shot on location in Mumbai, in real houses and in the famous Jogger's Park located in the well-known suburb of Bandra in Mumbai.

Its marketing strategy does not abide to the norms of traditional Indian filmmaking either. The film has debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and Mukta Arts have formed synergies with online portal MSN and Airtel - a cellular service provider, with the aim of creating and sustaining awareness for the film.

FILM SYNOPSIS

Jogger's Park is the story of Jenny, a young, vibrant girl, a darling to everyone in 'Joggers' Park'. She's beautiful, bold, an extrovert. In fact, Jenny is the classic example of 'traditional, yet modern' by virtue of the fact that though she flits between two glamorous professions - working as an Executive in a five star hotel, and as a model in the Mumbai Advertising world - her values are still traditional. She sings and dances along with this glittering world, looking like a picture of joy though her romantic life has taught her a lot and made her mature beyond her years.

Everyone wants Jenny…and she loves being single.

At 'Joggers' Park', she happens to meet a very famous man known as Justice Chatterjee. He has observed modern youth and its changing patterns after forty years of sitting under the roofs of various courtrooms where morals, values and ethics form the base of the Indian judiciary system.

But now what does he see at 'Joggers' Park'?

A new world, new people, new feelings, and new experience through his bond with this new friend Jenny. Her bold and candid character amazes him…and attracts him.

'Joggers' Park' is a light hearted, breezy musical tale that keeps ypu smiling thoughout. It is a new play, a unsual film, brilliantly shot that brings to life amazing characters with real sensitivity.

Jogger's Park will be released on 12th September 2003.
