Jai Gangaajal, Movie review
A real life-like drama which makes you forget that you are watching a film. Unfortunately these incidents of lawlessness and wrong doings still take place in Central India. Jai Gangaajal is the story of a lady Superintendent of Police (S.P.) Abha Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) who takes charge in Bankepur in Central India. Her mission is to earnestly implement the law exactly in the same manner as the oath taken by her during the course of her Police training. Its prequel Gangaajal had Ajay Devgn who plays a cop and is the protagonist in a somewhat similar drama. Apart from the glamorous Priyanka Chopra as the central character, the director Prakash Jha himself debuts as an actor who plays the role of a Circle Babu (a senior Inspector). It is Priyanka Chopra's film as she pulls off action sequences realistically, underplays her emotions, extremely sensitive to the happenings in her area of ....

The 33, movie review
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. It is August 5, 2010, and like any other day for the men who worked the San José Mine near Copiapó, Chile. As the 33 miners descended deeper and deeper into the cavernous mine, they could not have imagined ....
