Anubhav has many layers and talks about how life is not completely black or white. It is about a character that takes a positive stand in life, gets on with his decision and then eventually looses his way.

Aamir, movie review
Aamir the film is an impressive debut for Raj Kumar Gupta as a director. Even more so, it is a first film for the music director, the cinematographer, the leading man, the new production unit apart from the director. Gupta stays away from the clichés that a newcomer may be susceptible to. Aamir movie review... Instead of usually expected a la-Hollywood film-noir style, Gupta places this drama-thriller which exposes the Mumbai’s underbelly. Aamir, the film has been 'inspired' by the 2005 Filipino film Cavite and is essentially about a Muslim doctor Aamir Ali who is returning to Mumbai from London. The moment Aamir (Rajeev Khandelwal) lands at Mumbai Airport, he is extensively questioned by the Customs simply because he is Muslim. Our protagonist walks out of the airport and realizes no one is there to receive him. He even calls home but no one answers. More trouble so, whe ....

Assassins Creed movie review
Assassins Creed is a very popular video game which the legions of true gamers will vouch for the thrills they got playing it. Therefore it was but natural that it be turned into a big movie franchise, the idea though exciting left a lot to be desired from this movie enterprise which already holds a brand equity amongst the young. The basic premise is about the Apple of Eden which has been lost for five centuries and is the cuss point between the secret societies of The Templars and the highly trained, combative and sworn to their lives, the Assassin Creed. This war between these two factions has been going on for centuries as the The templars want to unleash the power of the Apple of Eden which contains the Genetic code for finishing the free will of the masses thus enslaving them. Cut to mordern day USA where a young Cal Lynch (Michael Fassbender - impressive and has come lo ....
