Singham Returns – Movie Review

The Lion roars again, fights against corrupt politicians 

Rating: ****

A sequel to the 2011 hit film Singham, the honest & fearless cop Bajirao Singham returns to Mumbai being a DCP Mumbai Police.

The dauntless lion is now ready to roar again and facing new adversities & challenges that cross his path to test his integrity and valor.

Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn), an honest and a fearless police officer now a DCP in Mumbai Police, is an epitome of courage, integrity having always stood up to fight against injustice to eradicate the weeds of the society.

While on duty once, he nabs the offender group of youngsters on motorbikes, yet frees them without framing charges against them, with just a warning, since he felt that once an innocent youth is put behind the bars, it leads to breeding a criminal.

Having the full law enforcement system backing him, Singham now faces a grave task to fight the extremely powerful rogues of the political system who challenge the judiciary while disrupting law & order. With the love and respect that he earned, the complete law enforcement supports him throughout his ordeals.

FADING GIGOLO – Hollywood Movie Review

Rating: ***

It is about people’s endless and never fully satisfying quest to find happiness through sex and love.

Koyelaanchal – Film Review

An upright officer confronts the powerful mafia in the coal belt

Rating: ***

A film based on the coal mafia of Rajapur in Uttaranchal, directed by Asshu Trikha.

If coal is an important fuel of our Industrial development, Koyelaanchal (coal belt of India) brings to light the explosive story of the people who have kept our precious fuel station at ransom for centuries. Calling these people coal mafia would be an understatement.

The film depicts the trials and tribulations of the poor innocent people living in the remote village of Rajapur and the atrocities inflicted upon them by Saryubhan Singh played by Vinod Khanna and his gang spearheaded by Karua played by Vippinno.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur – Film Review

Rating:***

A social satire set against the back-drop of rural India. A multi-layered film, it dwells, at the primary level, on the relationship between Shahrukh, the rockstar goat, his young human friend Zulfi Qureshi and Jaffer, the village barber. A multi-layered film, it is primarily a hilarious take on the complex belief systems in our society and the conflicts that ensue thereon.

It dwells, at the primary level, on the relationship between eight year old Zulfi Qureshi and his pet goat Shahrukh. By a strange set of circumstances, the entire village soon starts believing that Shahrukh, the goat, has divine or magical powers.

Purani Jeans - Film Review

Rating: ****

Friendship is like a pair of old jeans – the older it gets, the better it becomes – this is the belief that Purani Jeans is based on.

Purani Jeans centres around Siddarth Ray (Tanuj Virwani) who learns this belief as he journeys from New York back to his hometown Kasauli, a small hill station in India, after 12 long years. The main hook of the film is friendship. Those unforgettable memories of old friends – somewhat similar to Rock On and Dil Chahta Hai, yet it appears fresh, courtesy the young, bubbly cast of this friendship flick.

The film unfolds as a coming-of-age drama about a summer when Sidharth, his best friend Sam (Aditya Seal) and their gang of friends experience the agony & ecstasy of growing up, forming bonds of friendship, trust, jealousy, joy, envy & love.
