Abbas Tyrewala’s directorial debut, which stars newcomer Imran Khan, has a certain sparkling spirit, a zest for living life and a certain zing about the way the characters look at life and love. It’s not only about the way the characters’ exuberant yearnings connect with the audience, it’s also about the casual, free-flowing events and dialogues in the narrative that give the characters an edge over other urbane youngsters who have come and gone in the past.

After proving his mettle in Bollywood, versatile actor Paresh Rawal is now getting ready to do his first international film. “It’s called ‘The Virgin Goat’. It is a lovely script.
