Retail Entertainment Zones - The Next Big Thing in Indian Retail

As the organized retail juggernaut literally bulldozes its way towards market domination, a number of retail formats and categories are in the offing, ready to capitalize on the flourishing Indian market. Malls, hypermarkets and supermarkets have become familiar landscape to the average Indians, dotting the entire horizon of today's urban jungle. Retail economic zone (REZ) is the latest entrant to the India retail jargon. According to the Financial Chronicle, in the very near future Retail Entertainment Zones are going to be the next big thing in the Indian retail sector.<br />
<br />
REZs, as the name itself suggests, are on the lines of SEZs (Special Economic Zones) and IT parks, where multiple verticals and domains of business transactions are conducted in a single geographical location or zone. These entertainment zones for retail, spread around 100 acres each, would open avenues for hospitality, retail and entertainment companies to exist in a single zone with a capacity to generate business to the tune of around Rs 2000 crore annually. This retailing concept would entail the development of a specific area as an entertainment destination, where people can come to dine, shop, have fun and games and even stay, if they wish. The retail Association of India, under the aegis of its chief executive officer Kumar Rajagopalan, is burning the midnight oil, lobbying the government of some prospective states to initiate REZs. Some projects have already come up and are on an advance stage under the private - public partnership model, with the RAI acting as the facilitator, bringing retailers, government and real estate developers on the discussion table. Some state governments have already agreed on providing land and tax exemptions that are generally doled out to the SEZs and IT parks for the REZs too.<br />
<br />
Retail economic zones are a win-win situation for all the players - government as well as the retailers. As far as the government is concerned, an underutilized or unutilized piece of land has the prospect of becoming a regular revenue generator; similarly, the retailers too can look for high returns by cutting cost through cheaper property and other tax sops.<br />
<br />
As the Indian entertainment and leisure retail unfolds a parallel story of the global trend in this segment, REZs would be a consumer's paradise. Other than just a hub for local consumption, a one-stop shop, providing multiple services and products - multiplexes, food courts, entertainment and theme parks, spas, shopping centers etc, these retail entertainment zones have huge tourism. Beware! Dubai, Singapore; India is already on your heels, to take the spot as the premium shopping destination of the world.</div>

Whiplash: Movie Review

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cast: Miles Teller, JK Simmons, Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Director: Damien Chazelle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwQhpy-iGCi4DsCuOU5_1IWS-rrq_hbnMB3nWsrMH9cO-bwzzRMf3KLB55fJVg4BEAaXjnIC2iyutur3t3bY2Mdgr3u_ntfP3LguoZCxbzOVDDN5Jr3LJnXt2TkWjoEMS3FLIJi0NIVSM/s1600/01.+WHIPLASH_05547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwQhpy-iGCi4DsCuOU5_1IWS-rrq_hbnMB3nWsrMH9cO-bwzzRMf3KLB55fJVg4BEAaXjnIC2iyutur3t3bY2Mdgr3u_ntfP3LguoZCxbzOVDDN5Jr3LJnXt2TkWjoEMS3FLIJi0NIVSM/s1600/01.+WHIPLASH_05547.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What drives creativity and what makes it thrive are the two potent ingredients in Damien Chazelle's intensely electrifying <b>Whiplash</b>, the story of Miles Teller's wannabe jazz drummer, Andrew Neyman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He's enrolled in the Schaffer music school for the gifted, inspired by his admiration for the likes of Buddy Rich and determined to break into the group run by conductor Terence Fletcher (JK Simmons) which works the competition circuit and is believed to be one of the best.</div>
<br />
However, Neyman soon discovers that wanting to be the best isn't enough for Fletcher, and an educational game of cat-and-mouse begins with musical and personal stakes at the highest level....<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpDcyCGUHaalGto5Xs6gvDxAhXGF0lgDv2CqeOT3zQAgUdm1jc-T7xSzsTDAknTKotKJVzpjmwSfP1tNkk15n5xzMMOanHl9P1qNJFkvj7pi3SFb_65WezD8vUDSFL3ESR2uuY9SgjduS/s1600/05.+WHIPLASH-02598.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpDcyCGUHaalGto5Xs6gvDxAhXGF0lgDv2CqeOT3zQAgUdm1jc-T7xSzsTDAknTKotKJVzpjmwSfP1tNkk15n5xzMMOanHl9P1qNJFkvj7pi3SFb_65WezD8vUDSFL3ESR2uuY9SgjduS/s1600/05.+WHIPLASH-02598.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>Whiplash</b> is an astounding piece of cinema, essentially a two-hander which thrives on the perverse and monstrous relationship between student and mentor. As this mental game of chase plays out, with Neyman doing whatever it takes to impress Fletcher, the film delves deeply into what students are willing to lay on the line to succeed, with the actions on the screen revealing more about the pair's psyche that reams of exposition ever would.<br />
<br />
It helps that both Teller and Simmons are utterly commanding presences, with Simmons bringing some of the drill-sergeant intensity, volatility and utter terror that he displayed as Schillinger way back when in <b>TV series Oz</b>. It's simply a career best for him.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But whilst Fletcher's a truly despicable mentor, riddled with simmering ferocity that's bubbling under just waiting to explode like your worst nightmare, Teller's Neyman more than matches him with his initial wide-eyed, keen-to-learn student attitude being shaped into something more sinister by the drive to succeed. His burgeoning relationship with another student (Benoist) and his interactions with his sports-loving family merely serve to demonstrate how far detached he's become from what's normal in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thankfully, both Teller and Simmons demand your attention on the screen, and in initial rehearsal scenes (where you can see the explosion waiting to happen from a mile off), you can hear a pin drop in the build up and resultant moments as the vulnerable Andrew digs deep into himself to reach the heights which Fletcher demands of him. The final sequence alone in this psychological tale is perhaps one of the finest committed to celluloid this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a whole debate about whether latent talent is to be nurtured and coaxed out or whether it is to be pushed as far as is humanly possible in a callous way; Chazelle doesn't shy from that, leaving the audience in no doubt that there are no easy answers, opting instead for ambiguity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRG_ifOjv1jwdGS4jXDqWiisFNQs5TliXVd_142Z1p7BLSmP1UEyDQEHzugfjkJpe29hZ9pae-7dZQfj4FZ6chbF4BidebykLlDJ9SIi-sQUOuLfGBjtcUI3upaHlvIeU6e3s3wucmEtX0/s1600/03.+WHIPLASH_06207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRG_ifOjv1jwdGS4jXDqWiisFNQs5TliXVd_142Z1p7BLSmP1UEyDQEHzugfjkJpe29hZ9pae-7dZQfj4FZ6chbF4BidebykLlDJ9SIi-sQUOuLfGBjtcUI3upaHlvIeU6e3s3wucmEtX0/s1600/03.+WHIPLASH_06207.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And there are certainly calluses on screen as well, with Teller's ferocious drumming leading to some shocking images such as bloodied hands being plunged into ice water. There's also a raw power to the music scenes as well with jazz tunes Whiplash and Caravan being brought kinetically to life as the car-crash comes into full focus. Sacrifice, self-worth, self-belief, teaching, learning and personal drive and limits are all valid themes espoused throughout Whiplash, and with no easy answers proffered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, it's thanks to two electrifying leads that Whiplash is one of 2014's greats; the questions over who's the bad guy here (student or mentor) furrows down deep into some serious questioning and may prove equally as intriguing, but at the end of the day, Whiplash is as an astounding, passionately claustrophobic and as raw a movie as you're likely to see.</div>
