Prem Mayee attempts to explore the emotional labyrinth of a woman navigating love, marriage, and self-worth. Payal (Shreya Narayan) is intelligent, ambitious, and seemingly in control of her life—until marriage to Arun (Chandrachur Singh) unravels her confidence. The film delves into themes of identity, emotional isolation, and the societal expectations placed on women, especially within the framework of marriage. The film conveys that love brings out the BEST and the WORST in us. Its about love that can give abundance of joy, reassurance, positivity, success, fulfilment and yet it can go on to cause unhappiness, hurt, negativity. Prem Mayee further throws light on women's place in society, marriage, relationships and work-place. Shreya Narayan delivers a sincere performance as Payal, portraying vulnerability and inner conflict with grace. Unfortunately, her character lacks depth ....

Looper movie review, filmytown.com
Looper stars Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The story written (and directed) by Rian Johnson, is about the year 2074 where time travel is invented, which is now used by criminal organizations for the sole motive – to send them back 30 years back and they are assassinated by Loopers. So, in 2074, the time travel machine will be invented - but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a "looper" - a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)- is waiting to mop up. Exactly, Looper is a low level assassin who works for a mob in the future (in this case 2074) and their assignment is to kill each target they are sent back to 2044 and then dispose off their bodies. After all, what better place to hide a body than in the past? Loopers are equipped with GAT (a ....

Priyadarshan, who recently made Aakrosh and Tezz, returns to the comic genre with KAMAAL DHAMAAL MALAMAAL (KDM). This one is not a sequel to his previous laugh riot Malamaal Weekly. It has a fresh idea and though it has rustic and rural backdrop, the village is haunted by a curse after the golden cross from the village Church was stolen. Kamaal, Dhamaal, Malamaal- movie review It has a highly talented cast, most of them masters of comedy, yet the formula fails to pick up.

God is the biggest money spinner for Kanjibhai, while his wife is as devout as one comes, infact so much so, that she goes the extra mile to atone for her husband’s ....

(Heroine - movie review) The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'.
