Dashavtar, movie review
Dashavtar is a Tamil film which is dubbed in Hindi and released all over India. Its basic premise is Lord Vishnu's 10 different avatars (10 appearances of the lord in different roles). The film is set on a grand scale, and it traverses from 1000 years back till today.

Gulaal, movie review
Gulaal is set in Rajpur a fictional city of Rajasthan, where a member of the erstwhile royal family stakes claim to the land of Rajasthan and wants to go back to the days of royalty which challenges the very idea of democracy. Similar to a Shakespearean fable of desire, lost identities, love, greed, violence, murder, deceit, power and innocence, Gulaal is a film inspired by poetry; the forgotten male, macho world of power, corruption and greed, where women are just means to an end while nobody can be trusted. It's a film that brings back poetry to cinema, songs that inspire us, shake us; sometimes a thriller, a drama, but poignant, shocking and provocative. The film Gulaal is about an innocent student Dileep (Raj Singh Chaudhary) who comes to Jaipur to study, accompanied by his faithful servant Bhanwar. Here he comes in contact with Rananjay Singh “Ransa” (Abhimanyu Singh) a co ....
