Anubhav, movie review
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. One point precisely conveyed in Anubhav by director Rajiv Nath is that men are as vulnerable to sexual abuse as women in the Bollywood which is the Hindi film industry based in Mumbai. Anubhav (Sanjay Suri), Antara (Shruthi Seth) and Aadi (Anoop Menon) who nurture big Bollywood dreams, are products of the Bombay theatre academy. It is by now generally known what all it takes to face the struggle in Bollywood and achieve the success a struggler dreams of. During his struggling times, Anubhav comes across Meera (Gul Panag) who excitedly declares that she is his fan. They fall in love and get married against Meera’s rich parents’ wishes. They are now supported and back ....

After the huge success of Hanuman, another film on Lord Hanuman is released - Maruti Mera Dosst which could have continued the trend of Hanumanji’s popularity. However this film targeted supposedly for the kids has been given a U/A Certificate. Not surprising, since the evil characters in this film have been given powerful roles and appear too scary. Maruti Mera Dosst is about Lord Hanuman and there are real life characters, witches and innocent little children. Two kids essaying central roles in this film which merges real characters with animation. It has some spectacular visual effects and computer graphics, but it just falls short of being impressive. Rameshwari (Ritika Shrivastava) is an innocent eight year old girl who lost her mother at birth is brought up by doting albeit naive father Kunwar Raghvendra Singh (Chandrachur Singh). She longs for nothing but a mother's love, ....

99, not out, movie review
Presented by People Pictures and produced by Anupam Mittal and Aditya Shastri 99 not out the film is a refreshing change. It is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much “what could have been” as it is “what really happened.” In other words, it is historical fiction - being the keyword. It spans a few genres, it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and, importantly, very funny. 99 not out - movie review... In this "smart comedy" set in 1999, all the characters are bound by a common feeling of being stuck at 99 in life - just one short of a ‘century’ - that elusive thing called "making it" in life! 99 the film has betting, gambling and match fixing as a part of this film.
