  • Muddy becomes a hit; receives a raving response from all across

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 11: Pragabhal’s Muddy, India’s first 4X4 mud race thriller film, is now screening in theatres all across, and right after its release, it has already become a blockbuster hit. The film received a massive response on its opening day itself and since then has been receiving rave reviews from everyone, and audiences cannot stop showering praises for the film and the team.

    Expressing gratitude towards everyone for showering the film with praises, director Pragabhal says, “I thank everyone for accepting Muddy Movie. Your applause throughout the movie made the whole team happy. Thank you for accepting us, and that’s our success.”

    Film’s music director, KGF fame Ravi Basrur who has given a musical treat for his first Malayalam film, too has expressed his gratitude. He says, “Thanks to the people for your huge response. The sound was purely designed for the theatre experience, and you’ve accepted it. It means a lot.”

    A solid story base, backed with unique visuals and sound experience, Muddy, a full-time 4X4 mud race film, is produced for the first time in India and has already become a mass film. It is also the first film to be released in six languages, including English.

    The film’s choreography design was the biggest challenge for director Pragabhal as there were no other films to refer to for the Muddy race, and it took him five years of research to start the movie. The characters were given training in mud racing for two years, and national level real mud racers too were taken on board to be a part of the film.

    The technicians behind the film have all proved their skills in Indian cinema. Apart from Ravi Basrur, Bollywood cameraman K G Rathish and Rakshasan fame editor San Lokesh are a part of the team.

    Directed by Pragabhal and produced by Prema Krishnadas under his banner PK 7, Muddy stars newcomers Yuvan Krishna, Ridhaan Krishna, Anusha Sooraj and Amith Sivadas Nair. It was released in theatres on Friday, December 10, 2021.

    One can easily listen to Smita Makwana’s songs on platforms such as YouTube and Spotify. Smita is a Gujarati folk singer born in the Mehsana district of Gujarat. She first sang bhajans in school when she was 13 years old. Little did she know, Smita banked upon her singing journey in school. Professionally, Smita sang a song in the marriage function in 2003 in which she earned her first income of 100 rupees. She then was picked up by a group to sing professionally.

    Let’s check out the nostalgic songs sung by Smita in recent years:

    • Maa taaru naam layine aagadh vadhu – This song was released in 2019 and has hit almost 5 million views on YouTube.
    • Sacho prem – Shak khoto na kar
    • Ramzat amari ramo tame

Smita says that ‘I am the first person from my family who stepped into the music industry, my family has been the back support throughout my career in Gujarati folk singing’. She is bestowed with awards such as the ‘Best Singer’ Award by Live Crime News, another award from Shivshakti Musical Group, and appreciation trophies from programs held in the Mehsana district.

    Smita’s earlier memory of singing was seeing the Navratri singers performing and cheering in Garba functions in her locality. She used to cheer enthusiastically for the duos or individuals singing Garba songs when she was a kid. Mr. Kishanbhai Makwana, Smita’s father, has been a massive supporter in her life.  From the day she decided to become a singer, he had supported Smita in every step of her music career. Smith doesn’t have anyone in her family who is in the music industry, she chose this career as a challenge, and presently she is appreciated for her passion and dedication. Young girls living in her locality, are taking motivation from Smita’s life to fight for their dreams. What’s better than women motivating women, right?
