JAATIWAD – Hindi movie review

Rating: **

JAATIWAD does deliver a strong message about how our legal system time and again fails to deliver justice on time. It is an action-drama film with a message to end the communal rivalries.
“JAATIWAD” which means Casteism is the centre of the story of this film which is about two groups in the College elections, which are backed by respective Political parties.
These wily politicians breed the new generation of Politicians right from their college years. This brings fresh force for them at a great bargain. A new set of party workers, who are more aggressive and obedient towards their seniors. The motive behind this is to manipulate these youngsters for their political gains.
Director Sabir Shaikh and Producer Anand Kumar Gupta have managed to get a solid supporting cast for JAATIWAD high on drama with really over the top dialogues.
First half of JAATIWAD is stands a tense, dark, toxic & humorous entertainment performance and the second half with climax that has excessive violence. But this is a fact, that still exists in the hinterlands of our country.

Jazbaa – Movie review

A captivating crime-thriller


Rating: ***


An edgy thriller based on the South Korean film Seven Days (2007) that is pacy with a taut screenplay, yet there are a few over dramatic scenes which seem a little out of place.
It is replete with one liners. Like this one, “Rishton mein Bharosa aur mobile mein network na ho toh log gama khelne lagte hein.”
Jazbaa is about Anuradha Verma, the iron lady, who melts down when her daughter is abducted by the kidnappers who want Anuradha to take up the case to represent a rapist killer who is convicted of murder. Her school friend is the just suspended Inspector Yohan a competent, crafty cop who is besieged with allegations of corruption by his higher ups.
Anuradha manages anticipatory bail for Yohan, who plays a significant role, supporting her, in tracking down the kidnapped girl.
Aishwarya Rai overacts, she is too loud in her dialogues and more so in her body language.
The film is saved by superlative performances by Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi and Jackie Shroff.

TALVAR – Hindi movie review

India's most controversial case reopens this October




Rating: *****

Irrfan Khan’s performance, Meghna Gulzar’s direction and above all, its story and crisp screenplay by Vishal Bharadwaj makes Talvar a must watch film.

Talvar explores the socio-economic divides in urban India: the affluent doctor-couple, the Uttar Pradesh policemen with their regressive mindsets and rough methods of investigation, and the migrants engaged in lowly jobs. And the procedural protocol that exists in the Police System.

A high profile double murder case in 2008 in Noida, India where a 14-year old Aarushi Talwar was found murdered at her home. The suspicion pointed out to the 45 year old servant who was missing from the house. The next day his dead body was discovered in another part of the building.
