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.

Entertainment – Hindi movie review

Bollywood hits a low, clings on to man's best friend to fool around!

Rating: **

Junior, the endearing dog is the highlight of this comedy drama, which practically fails to tickle the viewer.

The hair brained of a story is very the name of this simple film with our hero Akhil Lokhande (Akshay Kumar) a jack of all working overtime in many jobs to pay for his father’s hospital bill who he soon realizes is not unwell and is also not his father.

His father is a multi-millionaire Mr. Johri from Thailand (Dalip tahil in an innocuous role). In the meantime Akhil is in love with a serialwalli (Tammannah Bhatia) (wasted) and promises her father (Mithun Charavarti – abhorring) he will become a millionaire and only then take the hand of his daughter.

Thus to lay his claim on his father’s fortune he fast flies to Thailand only to find that the lonely father who has just kicked the bucket has left all that he had i.e. Rupees 3000 Crores in the name of his beloved pet dog “Entertainment” thus begins the cat and mouse game between Akhil and Entertainment with Akhil out to kill the dog and the dog being a step ahead in smartness always outdoing him.

The Durban International Film Festival announced its award-winners last night at the closing ceremony of the festival’s 35th edition at the Suncoast CineCentre Supernova, prior to the screening of its closing film, Million Dollar Arm. The announcement comes as the festival rounds off a very successful year, with significant increase in attendance with many films screening to sold-out audiences. Festival Manager Peter Machen says of this year’s event: “I was extremely happy with the success of DIFF 2014, and it was very gratifying to witness both the large amount of sold-out screenings and also the huge enthusiasm for the festival, both from local audiences and from the hundreds of guests attending the festival from around the world.”

At the ceremony, the festival unveiled its new statuette, the Golden Giraffe, designed by Durban artist, Caryn Tilbury. Machen said of the new awards: “We are extremely that the festival finally has an iconic award. Venice has the Golden Lion, Berlin has the Golden Bear and now Durban has the Golden Giraffe. Caryn Tilbury’s beautifully idiosyncratic design is perfectly representative of the slick but edgy nature of the festival.”

At the awards ceremony, the festival’s highest accolade of Best Feature Film went to Malian auteur Abderrahmane Sissako’s masterful Timbuktu, from a selection of competition films that the international jury described as having dealt with “individuals coping with ideological, social and political pressures whilst trying to find their own identity and humanity in a world increasingly under distress.” The Best Feature Film award carries a cash prize of R50 000.
