Mithya, movie review
Mithya means a lie. Lies and everything else apart, it's an absolute entertainer. Rajat Kapoor has tried a never-before- tried treatment in this film and outcome is as unexpected as its meaning. He manages to weave together both the elements of comedy and a crime thriller and come up with a movie which surprises us by its sheer boldness. Mithya is filled with all the ingredients of a Bollywood hit movie - comedy, drama, action, romance, love, and finally, a good story of a guy who finds himself at the wrong place in the wrong time and how that changes his life. VK (Ranveer Shorey) is a struggling actor, like thousands of film aspirants who reach Bollywood, comes to Mumbai with endless big film dreams. But fate has something in store for him, for it makes him a pawn in a master game plan of the underworld, and then he unknowingly gets drawn into a whirlpool of events that will deter ....

Badlapur - Hindi movie review
A dark thriller with its unique story telling approach gathering momentum with its pace, BADLAPUR has its magnificent camera work and superlative performances from Varun Dhawan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Huma Qureshi. Yet another spine-chiller from Sriram Raghavan who earlier made a notable revenge drama - Ek Hasina Thi (2004) and an out-and-out thriller - Johnny Gaddaar (2007). Badlapur doesn't preach, has no message, it is just a plain thriller which has an unpredictable ending. Raghu's (Varun Dhawan) turns upside down when his wife Misha (Yami Gautam) and son Robin are shot dead (un-intentionally) by the thieves during a bank heist and who ultimately escape. One of them Liak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is apprehended by the police, but doesn't reveal the identity of his fellow mate, mentioning that it was the other person who shot the innocent at the bank. Liak claims that he hardly ....

It is the story of Mumbai what is was in 2003.

However, each of them differed in their approach, with a strong informer base, sharp strategies and vying with each other about the tally of dead gangsters to their credit. The struggle was always for control. If Pandit was ambitious, Inaamdar conniving and silent. One thing common between them - each of them was ruthless with an eye on garnering maximum power - withi ....
