HAWAA HAWAAI is refreshing, unique, charming, challenging, uplifting… HAWAA HAWAAI bares its soul! Let your kids take flight this summer, with HAWAA HAWAAI.
Take a bow, Amole Gupte… we need more films like these.

You feel for this young lad whose life was brutally snuffed out for doing what he was supposed to do and refusing to take a bribe and the easy way out. He chose to walk the narrow path.

YEH HAI BAKRAPUR is for the intelligentsia, those who love their cinema, shaken, stirred and with salt at the rim!
After all, the general public is constantly being made a bakra of!
-
Feroz Abbas Khan’s DEKH TAMASHA DEKH is a well-nuanced film which is frighteningly disturbing and intelligently engaging at all levels; be it at the stark portrayal of political situations, comedy or tragic relationships. DEKH TAMASH DEKH is liberating.

While the film per say is smooth and easy, what bothers is the steady tone in narration. Life is not so simple and people don’t always get angry in a polite manner. Sometimes, one does lose his or her cool. Every character is so guarded in their approach that you wonder how one can stay sane throughout.
Having said that, it would also be safe to say that 2 STATES will find acceptance from the ‘young in love’.

…a film that cannot be missed; especially keeping the elections in mind.
Watch BHOOTHNATH RETURNS, then go and cast your vote. -
Watch MAIN TERA HERO for genuine laughs and also for the emergence of new stars, in this case Varun Dhawan. Watch it also for Rajpal Yadav who is endearing in his act as the side-kick to Angad and Saurabh Shukla who moves from his ‘set dye’.

We have seen a lot many film on politics; but most of it, nay all of them, are loaded with blood and gore. Not YOUNGISTAAN; Vashu Bhagnani’s Silver Jubilee production is full of the flavor of youth and the mood of the moment. This movie has soul. It’s a love story set in troubled times. It’s also a call for all youngsters out there to go out and make their vote count.
YOUNGISTAAN is definitely a movie to watch.
-
It’s light, easy, and funny, has a social message, and above all, lands a playful punch on the face of several Bollywood personalities that is hilarious in a respectful manner! GANG OF GHOSTS is recommended for your weekend dose of genuine humour.

If you are looking for something invigorating, ANKHON DEKHI is just for you. Don’t trust me; like Bauji, go and see it for yourself.
After all, seeing is believing!
