BUSINESS/SERVICES DIRECTORY E DISON, N.J. —The Hindi-lan- guage film Brilliant Idea contin- ues its successful theatrical run in the United States, entering its fifth week after attracting audi- ences across multiple states and earning strong support frommoviegoers in New Jersey. The film premiered nationwide on May 29 after being selected for release by the AMC Theatres, the world’s largest movie theater chain. Following screenings in Indiana, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and New Jersey, the film enjoyed multiple sold-out shows at AMC New Brunswick 18 before moving to Hillsborough Cin- emas for its third week, where it contin- ued to draw audiences through its third and fourth weeks. The film is now being screened at the ITV Gold Auditorium in New Jersey, extending its theatrical run into a fifth week. According to the filmmakers, Brilliant Idea has attracted viewers of all ages, with audiences responding positively to its themes of hope, purpose and persever- ance. Many parents have also brought their children to see the film for its refer- ences to the Ramayana and its emphasis on Indian cultural values alongside the story of South Asians pursuing the Ameri- can dream. To mark the film’s continued success, a “Super Hit Celebration” was held June 29 at the Edison Adult Day Care Center in Edison. The event was organized by administrator Anurita Yarday Chitale and attended by members of the ITV Gold team, Sanjiv Pandya of Radio Zindagi, and the film’s cast and crew. During the celebration, Mohinder Kaur was invited to declare Brilliant Idea a “super hit” on behalf of the audience. The production also marks a milestone for Indian-American cinema. According to the filmmakers, it is the first Hindi- language Indian-American feature film to cast locally trained aspiring actors in the lead roles. Director Rabinder Para- sher trained New Jersey-based actors Ricky and J.S. King for six months before filming to prepare them for the principal roles. Brilliant Idea is directed by Para- sher, with cinematography by Mehboob Ahmedabadi and Mukesh Kashiwala, ed- iting by Tijo Thankachan, and an original background score by Vinu Thoma. The film’s title song features the voice of veteran playback singer Kumar Sanu. The lyrics were written by Rajesh Prasher and the music was composed by Chander Mohan. The filmmakers said one of the film’s defining elements is its incorporation of the teachings and blessings of Lord Shiva into the narrative. They said audiences have embraced its inspirational message and practical life lessons, helping sustain the film’s strong theatrical performance in the United States. ‘Brilliant Idea’ Continues Strong U.S. Run, Enters Fifth Week By A StaffWriter Director Rabinder Parasher (fourth from left) and lead actor Ricky (far right) pose with audience members and supporters during the “Super Hit” celebration of Brilliant Idea at the Edison Adult Day Care Center in Edison, N.J., on June 29.

PHOTO: ORGANIZERS HICKSVILLE, N.Y. — India Home is expanding its services on Long Island with the opening of a new senior center in Hicksville, offering culturally tailored programs and support for South Asian and Indo-Caribbean older adults. The new center, located at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 130 Jerusalem Ave., will operate every Tuesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will provide opportunities for socialization, wellness activities, educational programs, cultural celebrations and access to community resources. According to India Home, the Hicks- ville center was established in response to the growing need for culturally familiar services among Long Island’s South Asian senior population. Many older adults face challenges such as social isolation, transportation difficulties and language barriers that can limit access to tradition- al senior services. The organization said the new cen- ter is designed to provide a welcoming environment where seniors can build friendships, remain physically and so- cially active, and stay connected to their cultural heritage and community. The center was established with sup- port from the Association of Indians in America-National, Guru Krupa Founda- tion and the NewYork Community Trust. To mark the opening, India Home will host an inaugural celebration on Tues- day, July 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hicksville center. Community members, families, supporters and local leaders are invited to attend and learn about the pro- grams and services available to seniors in Nassau County and surrounding com- munities.
