Gandhi my father movie review
This movie is about Mahatma Gandhi's family - the father of our nation. It tells the story of Gandhi's eldest son Harilal Gandhi, who rebelled against his father and carried the identity of his father like a curse around his neck. Its a story of a principled father and an unfortunate son. (Gandhi my father movie review) Mahatma Gandhi's wife Kasturba (played by Shefali Shah) raised her eldest son Harilal all by herself when Gandhi left to study in London in 1888. Later, she gave birth to three more sons. The film shows Mahatma's (Darshan Jariwala) troubled relationship with his son Harilal - beautifully played by Akshaye Khanna. The film, without being biased to any of the characters, explores why it happened and narrates their differences which creep in when Harilal thinks that the Mahatma does not allow him to become a lawyer like him. Being rebelious natured, Harilal converte ....

The Blue Umbrella movie review
There is an ideal scenic, lush-green small mountain village somewhere in Himachal Pradesh, where everyone knows everyone else. Having plenty of time around, Nandkishor (Pankaj Kapur), a shabby shopkeeper in this village - is lying on a charpoy, headphones plugged into his ears, listening to his fortune. (Blue Umbrella movie review). The mechanical voice assures him that one day he would be richer than the richest man on earth. He enjoys it...

Kaafila movie review
'Kaafila’ is the story of the troubles of a bunch of illegal immigrants headed to the greener pastures of the developed world. A journey which is fraught with danger, constant struggle and pain. The story travels and unravels through half of the world – India, Russia, Eastern Europe, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Kaafila movie review   Sunny Deol plays a man with clear conscience and a generous heart... And he is a devout Pakistani – a robust agent of ISI. All throughout the movie, events remind us constantly about the film’s theme which is about illegal immigration and human trafficking. The real-life incident of Malta Boat Tragedy is shown in which more than 300 illegal immigrants perished. The story also has other interesting angles like Russian mafia, a scientist with plutonium, Taliban, and much more... The movie has also some romantic sequences where Sunny ....

Chak De India' is the story of a coach's fight to make his team, Team India, the best in the world. It is a film about self-belief, perseverance, determination and the human spirit to fight and win.

Cash movie review
A Priceless Diamond is up for Grabs... (Cash movie review) An amazing heist has taken place... The payment is made... The buyer is waiting... Then things go horribly wrong... Marked notes lead to a trail of cold blooded murders and ruthless double cross. As treachery rears its ugly head.... the game guns vicious... First everybody was fighting for the diamond. Now they are fighting for something even more precious - their lives... The rules of the game are clear - The winner will take it all. The loser will lose it all, even his life. Nobody's to blame but everyone will pay the price. The movie starts with introductions of its cast with flip-flops into animation of the action scenes which supposedly have been done by the actors themselves. A bit of progress, and then again some another character being introduced with an action scene, zoomed into, and turned into a rou ....

Director duo Abbas-Mastan have have in the past given us thrillers through movies like Baazigar, Ajnabee and Humraaz.
