Costume designer Jyoti Madnani Singh’s new film ‘Mumbaikar’ premiered on ‘JioCinema’ on 2nd of June. Mumbaikar boasts of heavy-duty star-cast that includes Vijay Sethupathi, Vikrant Massey, Sanjay Mishra, Sachin Khedekar, Tanya Maniktala and others. Jyoti Madnani Singh aka Jms, has dressed every single one of the characters in the sprawling cast. Jyoti’s costume does justice to the story setting that consists of characters from dark world of Mumbai and common Mumbaikar belonging to various strata of life.
Talking about how she landed up getting the assignment from a Kerala based production house, Jyoti said, “I have designed costumes for several realistic films in past like Rahasya, T for Tajmahal, Chaarfutiya Chhokare, etc, and had just finished shooting for thriller ‘420 Ipc’. Makers somehow got a whiff of my work. As Mumbaikar is also a thriller with tinge of drama-action in a realistic scenario, I reckon, I fitted the bill.

Now, Rocket Boys, Sony Liv’s second superb series after Scam 1992, introduces a new generation to Homi (Jim Sarbh) and Vikram (Ishwak Singh), two young, intelligent, ambitious scientists and visionaries, who changed the way post-Independence India was perceived by the world. When we first meet them onscreen, they are middle-aged and arguing about whether India should think about building its first atom bomb. Their argument immediately establishes their inherently different personalities but highlights their common passion for transforming the future of post-independence India. Based on a story concept by Abhay Koranne,...
