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.

Manjunath – Hindi Film Review

Rating: ****

Real story of one of the unsung heroes in India

He was shot dead on duty for doing what was right. His voice was silenced. A film based on the real life story of a whistle-blower, Manjunath Shanmugam.

Six years after the shocking murder of 27 year old IIM alumni Manjunath Shanmugam, an officer with the Indian Oil Corporation, at the hands of the oil mafia, this film tries to capture the story that caught the nation’s attention.

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.
