The 33 - Movie Reviw

The 33 bravehearts of the brotherhood



It is a true story about 33 miners who were trapped, lets say buried alive by the catastrophic collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper unstable mine for 68 days in San José Chile.
Though a true story and based on the novel ‘Deep Down Dark’ by Héctor Tobar has a beautifully crafted narrative.
The 33 was filmed on location in Chile’s harshly remote yet breathtakingly beautiful Atacama desert just kilometers away from where the event took place, and deep within two mines located in central Colombia.
It opens with the miners a motley crew of family men, drunks and happy go lucky men celebrate the retirement of their loved old colleague.

702 Dixit’s – Marathi film review

A small budget gripper from the Marathi stable


It could happen to you is the apt tagline. A day to day story a housemaid is thrown off the balcony of the flat 702 of Pune’s highrise Rosemary Society.
Kaavya (Gauri Nigudkar) and Yash Dixit (Vijay Andalkar) are a jet couple leading a blissful life along with their 10 yea old daughter Reva (Ruchi Jail).
Their perfect life comes to a grinding halt when the governess Asha (Anushree Junnarkar), they had hired a while back to take care of Reva, falls from their balcony and dies.
The man of the house has taken leave and is working from home. It is a point worth a wonder – It is a great boon or a bane of tech workers?
