Rock On!! 2`s Manzar Naya is alluring!

Manzar Naya from Rock On!! 2 has been garnering tremendous response from the audience.

The third song from Rock On!! 2′s musically enthralling album,  Manzar Naya is a song which exudes friendship goals.

Sung by none other than Farhan Akhtar,  the song draws relatability for it’s visually appealing video.

Apart from exhibiting the commaradiere between Farhan,  Arjun and Purab,  the song also features Prachi Desai and Sahana Goswami giving a feeling of Deja vu.

The song is beautifully shot in virgin locations of Shillong,  which prove to be soothing to the eyes for it’s scenic beauty. Shillong is widely known as the Scotland of east, small and a very beautifull state in Meghalayas. More at: http://www.filmytown.com/rock-on-2s-manzar-naya-alluring/

ROY - Hindi movie review

Rating: ***





The subject is abstract and more so is the story telling of ROY.

This film is not for the masses, its for the pseudo-intellectuals, to be precise.

Debutant director Vikramjit Singh who is also the writer of this romantic thriller is innovative in his presentation of life and times of a successful yet quirky filmmaker.

A different approach in showing on screen, the moods, senses, sensitive moments and the dreams of a director while he is working on the story simultaneously directing the film.

We get a visual treat of colours, the locales, the actual depiction of thought process of a filmmaker, most often dubbed as arrogant and abnormal.

About the story, ROY is the creative portrayal of the sketch of a filmmaker who works on his own terms.

Satyagraha - Bollywood film review

Prakash Jha’s ‘Satyagraha’ is the story of a son who yearns for a father. Of a father, who grieves for his lost son. Of a young woman who fights so hard with life that she has forgotten to love. Of an ambitious rabble-rouser, for whom action is the knee-jerk mantra.

It is the story of how these four discover one another, and come together to raise hell, shaking the powers that be to their very roots!

But, Satyagraha is also the story of an influential power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to destroy them.

The story revolves around Dwarka Anand (Amitabh Bachchan), a retired teacher, is an idealistic man, somewhere in the heartland of India. He is a satyavadi and believes that one should give back to the society, the country, all they have given to us.

His son Akhilesh is an civil engineer who dream is to build the best fly over in the country. Akhilesh’s friend Manav (Ajay Devgan) has come to stay at their place. Manav is an ambitious capitalist, and the retired school teacher is averse to this youth’s capitalist dreams…

Akhilesh dies in an accident. The Home Minister of the state (Manoj Bajpai) announces an amount of compensation of Rs 25 Lakhs to his bereaved family. His wife Sumitra (Amrita Rao) wants to set up a local school in her city, gets sick of her visits to the collector’s office to collect the amount. Dwarka Anand visits the Collector’s office, and is incensed with this laid back attitude. The old man ends up as him slapping the Collector.

Immediately Dwarka Anand is arrested and is imprisoned. Sumitra sends SOS to her Manav bhaiya, who rushes to the city and starts a campaign to free Dwarka Anand, using social media, also with the help of local leader Arjun Singh (Arjun Rampal) and television journalist Yasmin Ahmed’s (Kareena Kapoor) support.
Thus begins the revolution.
