Kashyap (Prashant K. Mishra) is a young Punjabi farmer whose marriage to Mariya (Neha Dhupia) is taking a little longer than expected. He has his work cut out to make the big step. The responsibility falls on a young couple from Delhi (Mokhia Khan and Pritish Kohli) to give Kashyap the "right" stamp of approval. Kashyap's long-time friend Vadra (Prakash Raj) wants to know why the marriage took so long to consummate and feels that the two are the only ones who could have been the right "parents" for Kashyap. He doesn't think this is the right idea since Kashyap is not a normal person. Kashyap and Mariya meet again when Vadra goes to his office in the capital to find out about a diamond that's been given to Mariya. Kashyap meets Vadra again at his own place and goes to see Vadra's father who tells him about the diamond. Kashyap decides to propose to Mariya and they meet at the airport. Vadra is a very rich man and Mariya is a starlet. Kashyap also wants to know how to handle his problems. Kashyap has come across the potential of the two and he wants to teach them some useful things to make them successful. The dialogues are wonderful and very original. My only problem with the film is that it seems to be on the premise of the big wedding instead of a normal wedding. The whole process of Kashyap's preparations and Vadra's wedding are very important to him. Kashyap also meets his idol Dr. Verma, who was very influential in his childhood and Kashyap wants to have a match made in heaven with him. The plot is clever and interesting. This is a film that shows you that in life, there are good and bad things that are happening. You have to learn how to take a positive and positive outlook on things. There are many positive things in life that you have to learn to accept and grow from. You must also accept the fact that there are bad things that happen in life. Just because it's bad doesn't mean it's not good. Don't you think?

The film is one of those films that can be easy to classify and as I'm sure you will get the same feeling as I did. The director is Dr. Jaya Bhaduri, known for her award winning and very important films 'She-Male' and 'Midnight', which will no doubt be remembered in the future. Her other films include 'Happy New Year', 'Loose Ends', 'Vastu', 'Yeh Se Dul Bhoot', and 'Ushpande Rakhte Haseeno'. Though 'Tubelight' is a different take on the society of India, which is very clear in the scenes and the messages it conveys. In fact, the director clearly shows that the society of India has to change and it can't remain the way it is, which is to keep on living the way it is. The message is clear that India has to change its ways and be different, to become a more accepting country and a much better country. All of the characters are important in the film and the actors do a very good job, especially the lead actress Priyanka Chopra who is absolutely amazing in her role and she is the one that sets the story of the film. 'Tubelight' is a very good film, I give it 7/10. I recommend it to all, especially to anyone who is interested in Indian Cinema or this year's batch of films. *I have seen this film and I have to say that I enjoyed it very much.

I saw this movie in 4D theatre. I was impressed with the whole movie. The movie just reminded me of my experience during the war in Iraq. After watching this movie I thought to myself, that it will be interesting to see what would happen if it was released in theatres. I want to get in touch with people who have experienced the same kind of violence and inhumane conditions in Iraq. I want to read their experience on IMDb and comment on it. I also want to hear their experience in cinema. I thought the movie is really a must watch for all. Some people may say, that it is too slow, but i say that it is not slow but rather boring. The movie is about a bunch of kids who live in an orphanage and who are beaten by the government. The boys feel helpless and feel the only way to survive is to rebel. Some people may think that this movie is some kind of propaganda for Islam. But what is actually portrayed in the movie is that Muslims are oppressed by the government. But Muslims are fighting to liberate their country and their people. These are the only two goals Muslims are fighting for. If people want to know more about this topic then i recommend to see the movie.

In this film, we see how young boys are transformed from vicious killers to a noble "chosen ones". There are many well written scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The music and sound effects make the film even more enjoyable. I felt that the film could have been a little shorter but I guess you can't always get what you want. The film itself is very accurate, like you would expect from the BBC. There is a good amount of violence in this film but I wouldn't classify it as graphic. The cast was very good and the characters were portrayed very well. I recommend this film to anyone who likes a good story and good music. This is definitely a movie that I will be purchasing. 7/10

The film is a look at the era of Bengali resistance to British rule, and the ensuing genocide of the Bengali people. It is not really a story of love and romance, but a film about the sorrow, pain and trauma of that time. It is about the process of change, and how one man's determination to protect the innocent can have profound consequences for the people he serves. This is not a simple story of love and revenge. The film is not a one-sided piece of fiction. It is a well-researched account of the period, the language, the attitudes, and the issues facing the people of Bengal at the time. This is a well-made film with a message, and one that is well worth seeing. The performances are well done, especially from the lead actors. I was very impressed with Srividya and Mukul Mehta, but all of the other actors are also very good. The story itself is well told and there is not a lot of dull moments. The film does not lack suspense, although there is one scene that takes you out of the film. The direction of the film is very good, and the cinematography is superb. This is not an action film, but it does have action, as well as some drama. Overall, this is a good film. I do recommend it.

In Tamil Cinema, A Nammuzha is a standard. The movie is just an adaptation of A Nammuzha with slight changes. The movie was a hit in the Tamil cinema. All the actors have done well. Naman Nair has been outstanding. He has done good acting. I have seen all his movies. He is a great actor. The background score of the movie was very good. But, the movie could have been better. The movie is worth seeing. But, the only problem is that it could have been better. Overall, it was a good movie.

I watched the movie and the first half was good but the second half is quite a different story and has a different feel to it. One thing that bothered me is the music. While the first half was very uplifting, the second half I didn't feel it was quite the same. This is definitely a movie I will watch again. Overall I thought it was good but I thought the second half was better.

The story of a woman who has to lead the life of a hermit after being given a death sentence. She must live as a recluse, except for her blind servant who visits her every morning at 2 o'clock. If she does not leave the house she will die of starvation. The film was directed by the late Padmavati (played by Katrina Kaif) herself and she had a difficult time in the post of director. The film is based on an award winning novel by Amisha Patel. Padmavati is portrayed by Katrina Kaif. She was born to a Hindu family in New Delhi in 1956 and is a retired lawyer. After Padmavati's death, the director of the film was questioned by the Election Commission as a favor of the ruling party. She was also threatened by the BJP because she had no PFI in the movie. The film is based on the novel by Amisha Patel and a collection of stories of the past. The film had a very high budget, but it was nothing but a failure. The story is well developed but the film does not deliver. The direction is underwhelming and the script is poorly written. Katrina Kaif gives a good performance as Padmavati but I am sure it was not her best performance. The performances of Priyanka Chopra and Pankaj Tripathi are decent. The story is well developed and the story-line is good. The story is also very relevant and the film has political implications. The film has strong performances and a good direction. The film should have been a hit but the film had many hurdles. Padmavati was supposed to have a mainstream release but it was a hit and Padmavati was an award winning film, which is very difficult to do.

There are many reasons why the movie is a little flawed. One, the film focuses too much on the Muslim's suffering at the hands of the Indian soldiers. Second, the movie fails to capture the Hindu's strength and ability to defend themselves against the Indians. The one positive thing about the film is that it has a very good ending. I recommend the movie for the moment it comes out on DVD. But, I'm sure it will fall down in the future.

Just when you thought that India was at the peak of its success in cinema, with the advent of Bollywood, director Sholay unleashes a hard hitting story of a village under siege by a German sub-marine and the siege of the village by the Germans. You can't even begin to imagine how unbelievably realistic it is. The film is a one man show by Boman Irani and his crew of 5 men. The whole movie is like a roller coaster. The script is very well written. The direction is excellent. It is hard to believe that the Germans won the war but they did win the hearts and minds of the people. The music by Amit Trivedi and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is very powerful. The film makes you believe that you are in the middle of the war. It's a very well made film that never leaves you with a bad feeling.

Kudos to the makers of this movie for creating an atmosphere of sympathy and understanding towards the Sikh family. It would have been difficult to portray the same sentiment for the Christian family, with the history of Inquisition and religious fanaticism in the west. It was even harder to portray the same sentiment for the Muslim family, for the history of Inquisition and religious fanaticism in the west. It is an extremely moving and touching story, that portrays the trials and tribulations faced by the Sikh community. The movie, however, did not end on a happy note. It does not end on a good note, and it does not end on a sad note. The movie is a documentary about the Sikh community, and about the Sikh community in Europe. The movie is meant to be watched with an open mind, and without prejudice. The movie is not about Sikhs, it is about the Sikhs in Europe. It is not a history lesson, it is not a documentary, it is not a lesson, it is a moving, emotional story. I am sure that most viewers will leave the movie with a smile on their face, and a smile on their lips. I would also like to say, that this movie, as a documentary, does a very good job of portraying the reality of the Sikh community, which is an extremely under-represented minority in Europe. The fact that it was produced in Canada, speaks volumes about the fact that the producers knew what they were doing, and what they were bringing to the table. I can't say enough good things about this movie. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, because it is well worth watching. This movie is not just about the Sikh community, it is about the Sikhs in Europe.

This movie is interesting because it's different from the other movies we are used to. Its more about a film-maker and a film-filmmaker. It was interesting because it was so much different from the norm. It's a bit like "Casino Royale" where the actors were new to me and it took me a while to get used to them. The characters are more real and the dialogs were pretty good. It's hard to say if they were "real" or not but you know how they are. I liked how the film was set in the 20's, where everything looked real, especially the camera work. It's a little slow at the beginning but it picks up a lot. It's a good movie and worth watching.

I have to say that I was not so thrilled with the way the story was told, but after watching the movie, I realized that I was probably just expecting something different than what actually was on screen. The movie seemed to lack a strong direction and the storyline, while very interesting, was a bit confusing to me. The characters were pretty flat, and I felt like I was watching a movie from the 80's. The dialogue was a bit bland and lacking in feeling. The only part of the movie that I did enjoy was the music and visuals. The movie did not feel too gritty, or too dark. I would have liked to see more scenes of violence, and more from the perspective of the soldiers. It would have been great to see more of the group of soldiers. This movie was a great way to introduce people to the F.O.L., as I felt that the movie would have been great if they would have focused on more of the soldiers. The movie did not make me feel that the movie was too long. It was pretty short, but it did not feel like it was too long. Overall, I would say that the movie is worth watching, as it has some strong messages about gender equality and the importance of gender-specific topics. It's a good movie for those who have a strong interest in gender-based issues.

This movie is not so much about the war but about the period after it. And this movie has lots of emotions. If you can look past the occasional cheesy soundtrack or a few wooden performances. You will be treated to a good movie. I like this movie because it's more a character study of different personalities than a war movie. The characters in this movie are so likable and you can get attached to them. I really think that you will enjoy this movie and you will be proud to have the freedom to watch this movie over and over again.

The Bewaargh on Bollywood for not even trying to produce an entertaining movie, especially considering that the one who made this movie did it for peanuts. A movie that had some star power (I really liked the performances of Naseeruddin Shah and Hafiz Saeed), some decent cinematography, but a sad tale of how a group of heroes, who were known to us from our childhoods, did not get the recognition they deserved. Bollywood has missed the mark again.

Before seeing this film I was not particularly interested in the subject, but upon seeing it, I think it's pretty great. The first thing I have to say is that this is not a war film, nor should it be. I have only read a few stories about WWI and have not seen the original film on which it was based. I'm sure it would have been boring to me. In any case, this is a story of how different cultures have tried to co-exist and, in the case of India, how they have been fighting each other for the last 3-4 years. These stories could have easily been used to create another war movie. I also think the way the film is structured is very clever. It's not an epic war film, it's a story about a different culture, and a very different culture at that. The way that the war is presented is in most cases very simplistic, with the action taking place in the background. I believe this is a very effective technique. It's clear that the director wanted to show the suffering of the population and the people who lived in the region. And the fact that we see such a primitive tribe and village, making war seem like a natural part of their lives, is very powerful. The cinematography is also great. I was very impressed by how the camera moves through the movie, showing the journey of the people, sometimes without any music, and sometimes with the music of the tribe. This really adds to the movie's feel and mood. I also think that the way the director used narration was a very interesting way to tell a story. I didn't find it distracting at all, it was natural, and I liked it. I also like how the director didn't just focus on the conflict between the cultures, but what actually made the conflict so bad. He focused on the war and the suffering of the people, and not just on the people trying to survive. This is probably the most important thing. I think that if this film had been made during WWI, it would have been a disaster. It would have been extremely violent and depressing. The fact that the film is set during the 1930's shows that the director is extremely interested in the times. The actors all do a great job. Although Akshay Kumar is only in the movie for about 10 minutes, he does a fantastic job. He is very charismatic and convincing, and his character is very sympathetic and complex. The only thing I don't like about him is that he sometimes seemed to overact. You see him give these rather cheesy speeches to

I am not a big fan of Bollywood movies, mostly they are a one time watch, but this movie was unique in that it was a long awaited movie. Well the film was well put together and I was quite satisfied with the movie. But I was a bit disappointed in the portrayal of Misa Bharti. I felt that she is portrayed as a war loving character who is very good at winning hearts, and I didn't feel that she was the key to the whole story. Her character has been portrayed in the wrong way. The character of her lover was portrayed in the wrong way too. In fact, if you had seen this movie, you would think that this movie is over all a big commercial flop. So I think this is an excellent movie to watch once. But if you want to see an awesome Indian movie, go watch this film and if you want to see a good movie, watch it.

If you like documentaries, you will like this. It tells a tale about the TMD community. It has some very moving moments. It is a beautiful film and is a must see. If you want a Hollywood ending, you will be disappointed. I like the idea of the documentary, but there was no real conclusion.

So, this movie came out, and I really enjoyed it. It was also the first Hindi movie I have seen, and I had a pretty big dream that the Hindi film industry would one day have a franchise like this. And the two things I liked most about this movie was its action and its music. I thought this movie was very well-done. It had some great action sequences and I really liked the music of Rishi Kapoor. Rishi Kapoor and Karan Johar have done a wonderful job in this movie, as well as the rest of the cast and crew. It is really worth watching.

It is rare that I like a movie but I really liked this one. I would recommend watching it even if you don't like Bollywood movies. The movie is based on true events that happened in the 1970s. I found it very interesting that all of the characters, including the main character, were South Indian. The majority of the movie is based on the life of a woman who was working for the local government. This woman decided to give birth to her son at a village hospital in India. The movie shows the actual events that took place when the child was born. I felt that the movie was quite slow at times. There were a few scenes that were unnecessary. The movie has a very good story and it is well made. The story is about a woman named Rani who was a doctor and a member of the local government in the village of Bijnoram. After the birth of her son she decided to give up her career and become a nurse and stay in the village. However, she was found out and forced to work in a hospital in the town. Rani is treated very badly by the people in the village. The movie shows how the people in the village are treating Rani as if she is a criminal. The movie has a very good ending. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

I loved this film and the acting is very good. They are trying to hide their sins. You feel for them, which is great. The documentary is very good as well. I don't think I'll watch it again, but it's an OK movie.

If you are interested in history and other works of a writer, look no further than the Ritu Vasudevan's book, Tubelight, by author Ritu Vasudevan, for it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity and injustice. Vast film in three parts, with many beautiful and well acted performances by the entire cast, especially for the roles played by Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt. The writing and the script was a true testament to the spirit of cinema. After seeing the film, one cannot help but feel how sad it is that this type of 'reality' drama could not be released in the west. Vast and life changing film that hopefully will be released in the west soon.

I have seen this movie and I absolutely loved it. I have always loved movies that were based on true events. Movies like "Saving Private Ryan" are great examples of this. With that said, this movie had such a powerful impact on me. I could not take my eyes off of it. It was a true story, I loved it. I am so glad I saw it and I am glad that I read all the other comments on this movie. I loved it, I gave it a 10. Great movie. Thank you for reading my review.

This movie could have been much better if the filmmaker had given more attention to the storyline, especially in the first half. The storytelling was so confusing that I was very skeptical that they would keep up with the story. In my opinion, the film could have been so much more. I would have preferred to see a different movie, especially if the director wanted to take his audience to a different place. I think the movie was made to entertain and to show the hardships that the Indians had to go through. However, I was left disappointed that it was too brief and did not allow me to get a clear picture of what was going on. I would recommend the movie to people who are interested in watching a movie about the struggles of the Indian people in India during the Second World War.

A war movie, but it has got more elements than usual. It has more of a emotional connection to the viewer, than a war movie. But the drama is like any other war movie, that is very hard to take it seriously, as the whole atmosphere has got a Hollywood feel. And when the story goes into its real world, it has a good twist to it. The characters are as normal as anyone can imagine, if you have a keen interest in politics. The acting is not perfect, but it does not matter as it does not really matter. The story is very close to reality, and will not become exaggerated. All in all, it is a very good war movie. If you have a free time, don't hesitate to watch it, and if you have a group of friends to watch it with, you will be able to enjoy it too.

So, there is no story, I am not sure if it is a movie or documentary but both are mixed up to give this movie a "feel good" effect. The film is about a journalist who is known for bringing some truth in to the whole media business. The film is interesting but at the same time, a bit boring. I would like to see more from the director or an actual explanation of how it all started. The film takes itself very seriously but the story it tells is too confusing and I lost interest in it a lot of times. I think if a director made a movie like this, it would be much better than what we have here. The acting by the actors is very good but it doesn't help a lot. There are some scenes where the camera is shaking and the actors try to be serious. It seems like it is trying to be serious but it is not. It also seems like it is trying to portray a serious situation with a heavy heart but in the end it ends up being the opposite. Some of the scenes are very hard to watch as you think you are watching something real but it's not. Some scenes that should have been very dramatic end up being a joke. All in all, this is not a movie to watch, its more of a documentary. Its definitely a good try though and a decent story. I will definitely be watching the rest of the films in this series.

A simple story about the struggle between the brothers of Bengali origin. Great job to all the actors for making this film a great success. The first time I watched the movie I was disappointed with the scenes in which most of the cast was not present. Later I realised that the director did not want to show them. This has worked out perfectly. The role of all the cast is huge and it deserves a special mention. Although the film was expectedly shot in Haryanvi I feel that this has been better captured. The colours and the scene in which the film is shown were shot in such a way that the viewers are fully immersed in the story. Anubha and Naseer had the highest part in the film. Anubha has proved her skills again with her role in the film. The music is very important in the film and it has been done with perfect understanding of the song and the song itself. The songs are catchy and the emotion they convey is present in a perfect way. The story line in the film is very well developed and it flows smoothly. The film contains a mixture of emotions but it is well balanced and one is able to find a theme in the film that stands out the most. The film is full of emotions but there is a section that is not right. Some scenes where the background music is not right. Some of the scenes are too much of the first half. This is an extremely well made movie. It is one of the best films of 2017. The story, the acting, the direction and the songs. The whole movie is a masterpiece.

Okay, it is a big and complicated story and it is hard to sum up what it is about. First of all, the focus is the poor people of Gujarat and their struggle for survival. But the focus is a huge village called Mahuva and it was one of the most beautiful and most ideal places in Gujarat. All the poor people were living in the village. But then came a man called Rakesh who came to Mahuva and treated the villagers with respect. Then came the riots and all the poor people were dying, but Rakesh had an answer for it and saved them from their predicament. I think the movie is about a person who can do anything for his community and himself. And that is his strength. When we see him, we see a man who can do anything for his community. But when he tries to do something for himself, he fails. And that is his weakness. People are making many movies about the common man, but I think this movie is a new thing. They are making movies about how difficult it is to be a poor person in India, and I think that is the reason why people love this movie so much.

Don't get me wrong.I thought the movie was excellent.But what I mean by this is that I am not in love with the movie itself.I am in love with the superb acting and screenplay of the movie.But in this particular instance, my sentiment is more than a little hurt and was not able to take the movie in a good direction.The movie started slow,but got stuck on a little detail,but got into the flow of the movie.However,it dragged on a little bit for a while.It is a movie that relies on the character of Prabhas,who is the protagonist.He is not the typical hero that always gets the girl.He is not the ultimate hero,he is the average everyday man.He plays a typical hero role.However,he was great.Maitrey Bhatnagar and Bharath Sharma did a great job in acting.But what I really appreciated about the movie is the screenplay.It was very smooth and it was easy to understand.For me,the screenplay was the biggest reason of this movie being a 9.I could not understand the movie and the lack of understanding of the movie might not have been the fault of the writers.For me,it is the characters and their actions that was the main reason of the movie being a 9.

I think this is one of the best Hindi films I have seen in recent times. The story is simple and the movie never gets dull.I found the movie quite realistic and gripping. Amitabh and Pran share the screen well. Both of them are very convincing and they deliver their part well. The movie keeps you guessing till the very end. The movie has a great script which makes you look at it from different angles.The end of the movie leaves you with a huge sense of satisfaction. The music in the movie is very good. The background score is also good.The acting is good from all the cast.Music is good.The only problem I have with this movie is that the screenplay of the movie is not that good. If the screenplay is better the movie would have been better. As the screenplay is very good the movie is very entertaining. I like the movie a lot and I recommend everyone to watch it.

A multi-layered, beautifully crafted drama about three Kashmiri girls who go to London for school. They attend a school where boys are treated as equals, girls are treated as objects, and where they are given little to no respect and a lesser allowance. On their first day of school, the girls discover that their school has been taken over by men who force girls to behave like prostitutes. In one of the films greatest points, this film clearly shows how women are treated in both mainstream and illegal institutions in Kashmir. The film also gives us the only glimpse into what happens when one of the girls is beaten up. This movie also highlights the mistreatment of women in all forms of institutions in Kashmir. At the end of the film, we are treated to a message of redemption. It is a well-crafted film and a must-see for all women.

The story begins with a man named Shashi (Vivek Oberoi) who is trying to buy his mother's land in the village of Sabarmati (India). The local people think that he is the evil one of the village. The story continues with Shashi's journey to find his land and get his mother's land back. In the movie, the setting is definitely in India. There is no doubt that India is the dominant country in the world. The story of Tubelight, however, shows that there are more countries to be conquered and if the story is told from a different perspective, it would have a more meaningful impact. The director, Ajay Bhansali, in his short film, gave an incredible story and its relevance was a bit hard to understand. The director is known for his humorous scenes. This is certainly not a humor film. But, it is one of the best movies that has been released in this year. The message that this film is trying to convey is very powerful and the message of racism has not been been very well received by the people in India. This is a very serious issue and no one should judge anyone based on their skin color or color of their hair. This movie is really a must see for everyone. I would give it an 8/10.

On the face of it, this film is very much a bore. There is absolutely nothing of interest here. It is a picture of military officers living in the US. They are the old officers who have been there all their lives and there is absolutely no indication that they have seen a war in their time. The film features a great cast of actors who are all young men who come to the cinema for a few hours of entertainment. For me, this is one of the most boring films I have ever seen. The film is not a bad film at all, but I did not care much for the acting of the actors, and the story line was poor. The whole film was nothing but boring and I was left feeling extremely unfulfilled and unmoved. I can only give this film a 9/10.

This is one of the best movies ever made, and a must watch. I am not a big fan of the Hindi movies and have not watched any of the Hollywood movies. I have watched this movie over and over again and it never fails to give me a feeling of what I have been through in my life. It is also a story of a young man who finds his own place in life. It is a bit different from most movies, as the story does not make it clear what happened and how it happened. The movie is mainly told from the point of view of the father, who is very open to the world. We have to keep in mind that it is a movie. The father, played by Ranbir Kapoor, is portrayed as a caring man who gives all the support that he can for his son. However, the son has a lot of problems to face, but they are overcome with the help of the father. This movie was the first time I have seen such a sensitive movie from India. There are so many stories that have been told in Hindi movies and I was very impressed by the way this movie has been portrayed.

Kajol(Kriti Sanon) is a loner who lives in a small town in India. She doesn't talk much and when she does it is often with anger. When her father dies she is sent to the local school to study. She doesn't get along with the teacher and she becomes infatuated with the local girl. She is in a strange relationship with her classmate, so much so that she has a crush on her. As the school year comes to a close, she realizes she has to move away from her hometown. She decides to stay in the U.S. with her mother. The only person she sees is her teacher who is an aspiring actress. She finds the girls acting in a school play and they start to develop a relationship. She realizes that they have feelings for each other and it is obvious that they want to get closer. Kajol and her mother decide to move to the U.S. with her. Kajol comes to realize that the relationships she has formed are far from normal and she finds out that the girls that she dates are actually her friends. This is an amazing film with some wonderful performances. Kriti Sanon does a fantastic job as Kajol and gives her character a strong and caring side. Kriti Sanon is a talented actress and has shown her ability with some really good films. The film is very emotional and although the film doesn't have a very big budget, it still manages to make an impact. The only downside to the film is that it does drag a little. The film is told from Kajol's point of view and that is fine because that gives the film a more serious feel. It also doesn't have a very strong message. The film is sad and I guess that is what it is about. The film is great and I recommend it.

Just returned from the cinema after watching this movie and I have to say that I was in a very bad mood when I left the cinema. I mean the movie was overrated by many of the critics who had given it a 9/10. The movie was actually a mixture of two genres. The first genre is those movies where we see a person who has done something horrific, such as a suicide, and after a while we see them try to make it better by taking part in the life of another person, which is called public service. It's just one of those movies that's based on a true story. The second genre is the one that we see in the movie, where the person who has done something horrific gets involved in a life of public service, like serving the poor, like assisting a prisoner, like protecting people from criminal acts. The movie has been condemned by many critics and people who felt that it was 'misguided'. Personally, I think that it was one of the best movies I have seen recently and I hope that it will be one of the best movies in 2017. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who has seen the movie or is planning to see the movie.

It is so refreshing to see movies that have not only an actual story but also a story that is actually based on true events. And that is exactly what Tubelight is. This movie is based on the true story of a group of Sikh students at an all-girls school in the 1930s who had been banned from practicing their religion for religious reasons, and their attempts to get their school back on the right track. The movie shows that the students are struggling, and that a lot of obstacles stand in their way. But their efforts are rewarded when the school is re-opened and is able to continue its tradition of sending its girls to schools like this. But there is one young girl, Karanjit Singh, who has a secret that she is trying to hide. She has to choose between her religion and her family. The movie is about her, but it is also about how the Sikhs fight to regain their freedom. I think this movie is very good. The acting is amazing, the cinematography is beautiful, the settings are great, the music is great, and the script is brilliant. All in all, a very good movie.

I enjoyed this movie very much. It was more of a look at the aftermath of the holocaust than the usual war movie. But it also tells us about the long-term impact of the holocaust on the lives of the victims, and how they cope with their grief. I found the acting very well done and the storyline touching. I would highly recommend this movie. I did not feel bored at all. Overall, a very good movie.

I loved this movie. And in the first couple of minutes, I was wondering whether I should go to see this movie or not. After a while, I started watching the movie because of its few beautiful images, and of course, its title. There were many themes of the movie, all related to India and its culture. This movie showed how Indians in the 20th century were forced to become part of Pakistan, how Indians were against joining Pakistan. This movie also showed the way the British were using Indians in the future to help them get a bigger share of the Indian economy. As a movie, I have to say it was good. There are a few scenes that I really loved, such as the part when the girls were looking for their fathers, when the girl was scared of her grandfather and when the girl looked at her father's face. Also, I really loved the part when the girl was watching the trailer and thought that her father would die soon. Then, the girl was crying as her father came to life. There were also some scenes that I was watching when I was watching this movie, such as when the young girl was still a child, when the family was talking about going to Pakistan, and when the girl was crying when she was going to school. All of these scenes were really touching. As for the actors, I thought they were good. In the first half, I thought they were really good, especially the one actor that plays the son. The director was really good too. The actors were not a big part of the movie, but still, they gave a lot of emotions and feelings to the movie. Overall, I enjoyed this movie very much. It was very good. It showed many things that happened in India and also in Pakistan during that time, which are not very easy to show in a movie. And also, I enjoyed the art direction and cinematography. This movie is a nice surprise for me. I would recommend this movie to everyone. It was good.

When I first saw this movie I thought that it was a silly movie about Indian fighting, however after watching it a second time I started to like it. This movie is a must watch for all those who have love for Indian culture, religion, and for those who have an interest in watching movies in general. What I found most interesting about this movie is that it is based on a true story and even though it has been done a hundred times before it never looked fake or fake looking. This movie is about a group of people who went to a village to learn how to fight and become the best in their village, however due to the rough treatment and unfair nature of the village they never became the best. One of the group who has not yet achieved the rank of a warrior is beaten by the village's strong lord. This leader of the village, who used to be a great warrior, has been beaten badly by his opponent, who was no longer a great warrior, but a weak leader who only knows how to kill people. This is a really sad scene, because the weak leader who never got the respect of his father and the father who was always telling his son to be strong. If you have an interest in learning more about Indian culture and religion then this is a must watch movie. I think that everyone should watch this movie because it shows a very interesting part of Indian culture and history.

This movie isn't good enough to be a well-made war movie. It has the right type of ingredients for a war movie. But I didn't like the direction. There is nothing to be proud of except the cast. You would expect a lot more from a movie that boasts such a good cast. There is no chemistry between the characters. But the performances were great. The cinematography was quite excellent. But the direction. Well, I can't really explain the direction because the direction was a mess. Some parts of the movie were visually impressive, and other parts were uninspiring. The movie is all right but the direction is just the wrong ingredient. This movie should be called the "Om Shanti Om" of cinema. To sum it up, if you liked Vikram Bhatt movies, then you will definitely like this movie. However, if you don't like Vikram Bhatt movies, then don't watch it. Rating: 6/10 (Out of 10)

I thought this movie was good, it is interesting because of the war and how things went down in the military. It was interesting how the the movie ended. If the movie is not the best of the year then I guess I am giving it a 6. I am giving it a 7 for being entertaining. I hope the sequel comes out soon!

Don't expect many laughs and the laughs may not come. But this movie has lots of more interesting issues to tackle. The story has a very realistic feel to it and I think it's a shame that the director took a break from the project, rather than directing this film full-time, because he is a talented director. When you see a film like this you should be thinking about it for a long time. But he is definitely back. And I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Palestinian conflict. You don't have to agree with everything this movie says. I'd like to add that the acting is top-notch.

A serious political drama that deals with a very dark time in Indian history, and a possible plot that may be as well relevant today. It is a very human story that tells the story of a child who is on a school bus and is hit by a car. The child is taken to a doctor, who immediately knows something is wrong. He calls his mother who drives the bus, and soon the child is taken to a special hospital, where the doctors find something wrong. The child has a very serious condition, and the doctor immediately tells his mother that she has to take him to a hospital, and no matter what happens, the boy must stay there. The mother refuses, and the doctor tells her that she will be in a different hospital for the rest of her life. She tells the doctor that she has to stay, and the doctor tells her that he can't leave the hospital. He then calls the mother to tell her that she will stay, and the mother does stay. In the hospital, the doctor tells his mother that he has to bring the child back to the hospital to be examined, and the mother does go, but the child is still in the hospital, and it takes the doctors another week to make the child go back to the hospital, and then to the doctor's mother. The doctors son and the boy's mother decide to go to court to demand that the child be brought to the hospital. The court case is set in motion, and the child is brought to the hospital. During the court case, a film about the child is shown. A child who is at the age of 8 has an illness that has to be treated, and the child's mother is a nurse at the hospital, and the court case is about the child's life and his condition. The film tells the story of the child's life, and it has a lot of details that are very important to the film, and it shows the whole story of the hospital, and the doctor's life. This is a very human story, that has some things that are very important to the story. This is a very human film that tells the story of a child and shows how people can help a child, and in the end, the boy has to stay with his mother.

Being a Bengali, I was looking forward to watching this movie. I watched it twice and every time it gets better and better. The movie is not a common Hindi movie like 'Tumjhe Tum' or 'Baat Baat' and that is why it is not going to be a classic, but it's definitely worth watching. I like the idea of an Aamir Khan movie. If you are interested in Aamir Khan, you should watch this movie. The movie has everything to please the movie goer like a great fight scene, an Aamir Khan soundtrack, great music, beautiful camera shots and stunning visuals. The direction is good. I think Aamir Khan is making a comeback with this movie. He has a new look and a new voice. The script is great. The message is very clear and does not get lost in the movie. The story line is good. The movie is worth the watch.

This is the first time I have reviewed a movie on IMDb and I will be reviewing many other movies in the future. The movie is very good and it is easy to understand. It's very interesting to watch. I was watching it when I was in high school. I haven't seen the movie in the last few years but it was so interesting to watch. I am so glad that I saw it when I did. I don't like the Indian way of making movies. Most of the movies that are released here in India are in English. In my opinion it is very boring and I prefer to watch Indian movies in Hindi. Most of the movies I have watched in Hindi are from old movies. This is one of the best movies I have seen in Hindi. In my opinion the movie is very interesting and it is very interesting to watch. I hope the movie will be made in Hindi but I am not sure about that. I hope that the director and the producer of the movie will make it in Hindi. It is a good movie. I can not say enough about this movie. I hope the movie will be released in Hindi.

The ending of Tubelight is a huge surprise. The movie was very well directed and handled with all the emotions. The movie had an outstanding performance by Anushka Sharma and the entire cast. Shraddha Kapoor also acted well. I loved the music of the movie. The music was very beautiful and added to the movie. The film is not just a movie, it is a drama. I am not sure if there will be another movie after this one. I am looking forward to see what Anushka Sharma will do next.

This is a perfect example of how to make a movie. The story is good, the acting is good, the editing is perfect, the music is excellent and the movie has a very clever sense of humor. However, what makes it good is that it is a movie about the Korean War. The story deals with the Korean War from the standpoint of the Korean people. What I love about this movie is that it gives you a realistic picture of the war. The first scene when they are being marched through the desert shows the brutality of the war, and that has to be seen to be believed. The second scene where the prisoners are being marched through the jungle shows the cruelty of the war. The Vietnamese soldiers were crazy for killing the civilians and the Americans were absolutely horrible. I also like how the soldiers and the civilians are not treated like enemies, but are treated as people. The one thing that I don't like about this movie is that they don't show any Koreans in the movie. Most of the movies of this genre have a lot of non-Korean actors and it shows in the film. Overall, this movie is great. It will give you a different view of the war. If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it.

In this documentary based on the life of a three-year old child, Jyotishah (Anupam Kher) in the city of Bangalore, finds out that his father (Rakesh Omprakash Mehra) is a martyr who has died in the riots of the late 70s. But the truth is that Jyotishah's father had saved all of the houses in his neighborhood from being destroyed by the police. This makes Jyotishah question whether his father was a martyr or not. He also discovers that his father had died in a hospital in Bangalore. Jyotishah's mother (Ritu Basu) is now the daughter-in-law of a former minister (Ravi Kishan) who is trying to turn the city into a big business. She is constantly using Jyotishah to drive her back to her hometown in Kolkata. In a desperate attempt to bring her son back to his parents, Jyotishah begins to believe that his father is a martyr. Jyotishah becomes a rebel. When his mother tells him that she is pregnant, Jyotishah refuses to have any relationship with his mother. His mother threatens to send him to live with his father's widow, and he begins to question whether his father was a martyr or not. The documentary is very well made and very informative. It shows the life of a young boy and his friends as they explore their own lives. There are some nice aspects to the film. Jyotishah's mother tells him about her past, how her husband had died, and how her mother had a few girlfriends. It is a good example of how relationships can change. I liked the fact that it showed how the children were the center of the story and how their parents were the background. Another aspect was that the documentary used the children as actors. This gave it a different feel to the film and added to the narrative of the story. In addition, it did not have a kind of romantic or melodramatic feel. The documentary was also very informative. In addition, it was edited very well. I was glad to see that it was short. Overall, the film was good and informative. It was interesting and well-made. It was well-edited and made the film engaging. I recommend this film to all who are interested in the life of a child and their growing up. It was well-made and well-edited. It was also very informative.

After I saw the trailer, I had a strong desire to watch this film. However, the biggest thing I noticed about it was that it was produced by the leading Christian group known as "Christians Against All Odds". However, that's not really the point of the movie. The point is that this is a great film about the love of the human heart. I mean, most of us have it, but only a few have it so strongly that we feel it when we are in need. And it's a thing that I think we should show more of in films. I have to admit, I really didn't expect much from this film, but I was very surprised. It was very well done and extremely heartfelt. It's definitely one of the best films I have ever seen. I definitely recommend this movie.

A story of the un-endurable reality of the Sri Lankan civil war. A tale of the bravest, boldest and most pathetic soldier who went to war against his family, and his country, for a cause he believed in. A tale of courage and the intense emotion of fear, and the feeling of helplessness. A tale of how society deals with a war, and how the people deal with it, is a tale of a group of people who are afraid to be left behind, and the way they deal with the "big fight". A tale of the last hope of a nation, and a man's final sacrifice for the last hope of his country. A tale of the humanity, and the humanity that destroys everything. A tale of the great sacrifice that this man made, and the people of his country. A tale of the love and the compassion that exist between people, and the respect that a human being shows to a person, and the respect that they show to a nation, and the respect that they show to an entire race. A tale of how they chose to let their country and their families suffer, and how they chose to let their own country and their own families suffer. A tale of courage, and the value of courage. A tale of the values that are lost and the values that are gained. A tale of the real people that have nothing to lose, and the real people that have everything to lose.

Once again the movie based on a true story gets a tad bit too emotionally touching. But that is the best part about this movie. Not the love story. Not the big love story. Just a movie about how life and how love is the core of any one's life. This movie was just a tad bit too sad at times. But it was the most satisfying part. There are no actors in the movie that are acting their hearts out. They were just there to create the illusion of emotion. The best part about this movie is that you actually believe that the soldiers are actually fighting for their lives. So it was just a tad bit unrealistic. But the real sad part is that the movie is based on true stories. No actor/actress is given a perfect life. No actor/actress is a perfect person. Just an illusion. I can say that the film was very well done. But it wasn't the best film ever. I think it could have been a bit more emotional and more serious at times. But it was still a great movie.

I thought the movie was good but what i didn't like was the casting. Khanna, Shahid Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor, and all others are wonderful actors. But they should not be in this movie. I know the script is well written and the music is excellent. But they have done so much better and more realistic scenes. In the first half, i thought it was a disaster because of the lack of dialogue. i liked the movie because of the romance. After i saw the last scene, i was like oh my god. i don't like romance in movies. but that was a major flaw of the movie. So i think there should be more romance in the next movies. Not for commercial reasons, but for the sake of the story. But i would have preferred the movie to be a romance. After all, the movie is about the love between two people. The movie should have been a romance. Overall, the movie was excellent, except the cast.

I enjoyed the movie very much. It's more of a story than a documentary. And yes, there are the two narrators - Ajay Devgn and Harish Khanna. But they are very good in the story and they really get in touch with the spirit of the film. For me, the second story (and the first is definitely the better of the two) is just not as good. It's not as interesting. It's more a story of passion and heartbreak and it's too small. But it is worth watching, even if you don't like any of the story.

So I am not much of a fan of Bollywood, but I have a duty to the Indian people and as such I took the time to watch this film with a kind of objectivity and respect. I am afraid that many people may be overly critical of this film because of its color. However, I believe that such an extreme reaction to this film does not really mean anything. Just like the popular saying goes, the critics are the ones who give you the bad news. A person who does not like a movie is still no different from a person who does not like a person. I must admit that I really enjoyed this movie. It is not a work of genius, but it is a good movie. I enjoyed the beautiful shots of Biju Chawal, the historical context, the love story between Thakur and Shanti, the actors (some of whom I have not heard of before) and the story. If you are not familiar with Bollywood, I would recommend that you go and watch something new and go through the different films released this year, and make an educated decision. The recent romantic films are quite good, but most of them are quite forgettable. So, for me, I would have to say that the color of this film is a significant point.

Two characters in this film portray two opposite worlds. A simple soldier and a brave martyr. The film is based on the book by the same name by Dalip Tahil. It is an eye-opening study of the effects of sectarianism on the lives of ordinary people in Pakistan. The story is well constructed and stays true to the original book's story, with emphasis on its characters. Each of the five characters is well-developed and react in different ways to the conflict. The character of Asif Aboobak is particularly powerful in the first half of the film, and provides the film with its highlight. The film is also well-adapted from the book's style of narration, but unfortunately it is poorly translated into Hindi film. It's also important to mention that the film is more of an "indepth" experience. It is not a film to be watched on a Saturday afternoon. If you are not looking for a social message or emotional impact, it may be a good film to watch once. For those looking for something very much different and extremely entertaining, it is best to wait for a DVD. Overall, the film is excellent. However, the film does not do justice to the book.

I loved this movie! It's about the problems of not letting women to be able to go to the army and fight in war. It's about the kind of women who are willing to go to war for the sake of the country. This is an eye-opening movie about the problems of women in Indian society. It is a movie that is never boring and never made me yawn. And it's an Indian movie. I love Indian movies, but not like this. It's true that it is not very known in the United States, but I guess that it's because there is no real competition for it. I think the reason why it is not very known is that it is a "hollywood" movie. It's not the type of movie that can be made by the non-filmmakers and the non-commercial filmmakers. It is a movie that is completely authentic and so is the direction. A few years ago, it was difficult to find a movie that is not a musical. But this movie is so true and so real that I think musicals are not the same anymore. I would definitely recommend this movie to people. I would also say that it is not a movie that is suitable for children. If you don't like to watch a movie for a long time, I would definitely recommend this movie.

In the end, Naseeruddin Shah's acclaimed debut movies just haven't been strong enough to go toe-to-toe with their rivals. 'Nayak' and 'Nayak 2' have won awards but 'Akhbaar' and 'Shuddh Desh' have struggled to reach a wider audience. A commercial success by all means, 'Akhbaar' is a work of art and an underdog story, for sure. The film revolves around three successive stages of a revolutionary group's march from Pakistan to India. The plot is mind-blowing. Every time I hear an announcement that one of the terrorists has been arrested, the music fills the audience with goosebumps. At times it looks like the entire movie is a huge jigsaw puzzle of a person's life and journey from one stage to another. The songs and the dances are absolutely amazing. There is no one who can't be touched by them. In the middle of a movie like this, everything is pretty subdued. I have to admit that 'Akhbaar' was quite slow. And to be fair, the film is not totally dependent on it's pace. The slow pace of this movie makes the transition of the story at the end to the third one more believable. The second half of the movie is very unique and funny. With the use of modern technology and computer generated images, the film captures the audience's attention very well. It is just the first half of the movie, but it is a must watch for any fans of any Naseeruddin Shah's works.

This movie is a mess of a movie with bad and completely senseless lines, the movie is also predictable. This movie is not really about Nazism but is about a village and its people living in that village. This movie has no plot or story at all. This movie has a hero and a bad guy and an anti hero that loves the anti hero, they live in the same village and have the same love for each other. This is not really a movie. The movie is meant to entertain you. You can't really see the movie through. The makers of the movie didn't have any creative aspect in the movie. They had a script but they just threw everything they could into it and they failed. You can see why they made this movie because of bad scripts and bad acting. The movie could've been good if it was not a mess. This movie is a mess of a movie. I mean if you want to see a movie about Nazism that you should see, watch Rambo 2.

I know that a lot of people here hated this movie, but I think it was very good. Yes, it is preachy and it has lots of talking and arguments, but I think it's an honest portrayal of what happened. It's based on a book by another author, but it has very good reviews. The movie was very well done, especially in the first half. The people in the first half are really great actors and they really help the movie in the second half. I think this movie deserves a lot of credit. And if you're looking for a light movie, this one is not for you. I think this movie is an important movie for a lot of people to watch and understand. It is a very good movie.

I have just finished watching this movie.The first half was so much different from the first movie. Then when the movies really started, everything gets predictable and boring. There were some scenes, which could have been more captivating if it wasn't the typical scenes we have seen in the previous movies. Like the way Khanate P.S is being executed. Or, like the way they show that the North East Army was already involved with the Taliban. And how they showed the torture scene was totally contrived and unrealistic. The movie could have been better. But, it was enjoyable all the way. I recommend the movie, because it was so entertaining, and it doesn't have any boring scenes.

I don't know who to blame for the awful script. Maybe the director. Maybe the script was horribly written. But I can't really blame the actors either. I know I'm not a great actor. But I really felt that they failed to deliver a performance that would be considered mediocre. This is one of the few films I've seen in which I felt the cinematography didn't do anything for me. But that's just my opinion. If you want a very artistic film then definitely go for it. I would say the best thing about this film is the cinematography. The problem with it is the script. It's very slow and repetitive. I think the focus was too much on the visuals and not enough on the acting.

Madras, 1942. Army Lieutenant Captain Muzaffer Ali (Aamir Khan) awakes to see his wife being hanged. He tries to help her in his last hours but he cannot do anything due to a lack of force in the army. He decides to start a hunger strike, and soon makes a temporary ban on food and water, to protest against the injustices and oppression against the Muslim community. The one man in the army, Aurangzeb Khan (Pankaj Tripathi), tries to help him, but it gets out of control, resulting in a complete turn of events. Madras would have been even better if the characters had been given more depth. Director Vijay Kaushik is usually known for the hit Kahaani, but he manages to make his mark with this movie. The overall feel of the movie is that of a well-told story, with characters that come and go like shadows. Though, with the increase in length, the movie starts to drag and become predictable at times. The dialogs are very well put together and will keep the audience engaged and interested. The songs are interesting and are the movie's highlight. The movie's rating is not very high, but if the audience is looking for some real drama and suspense, they would definitely enjoy this movie. With an A grade, the movie's Bibliography and Concept has been over-looked, though, with a great concept, it could have been a good flick.

The movie was a must watch for us old timers to reminisce about the past, about the wars, the slogging, the privations of war. Some scenes were amusing. The movie is really touching. A strong message is brought out from it. It is not only a movie but a living nightmare. Our childhood heroes from our youth is all the same, all share the same fate. It is a tad boring sometimes but it is a must watch for the latest generation, like the younger generation who lost their parent's and don't know who they are. This is a movie that shows us all who do not want to change the past. Life is not easy and we do not want to change it. This movie gives us an impression of the reality of war and it is very touching. Overall this movie is a must watch. Just do not miss it. My Rating : 7/10

Historically speaking, the Bollywood movie industry is not the place where you would have expected Bollywood to go for the majority of its history. However, the switch of the market for Bollywood in the last decade has given the Bollywood industry a jolt. Bollywood is known for its non-fiction films and still they are far better than what the Western market gives them. Most people expect Bollywood to be mainstream Hollywood. I feel Bollywood can definitely surpass that expectation but, until now, Bollywood had failed to live up to its potential. This movie is the second in the Dabangg trilogy and not surprisingly, it has no relevance to the Bollywood tradition. The story is nothing new. Boy meets girl, falls in love with her and waits for her to tell her parents. There is no major difference between the story in this movie and the second one. However, what I really liked about this movie was the realism of the script. There was no lack of imagination shown in the script. The script of the movie was full of details to make the script interesting and quite believable. For example, the script includes when it shows a scene where a girl is showing a video of her engagement with a boy and later the story shows her getting married and the family going out of the house and the scene where the girl was still looking at the video. All of these scenes were really well detailed and very real. It is a pity that most of the movie is a TV drama and not a movie. However, the title of the movie is "Ek Ka Ghar Ka" and it would be best if a movie like this were produced. If the title of the movie was "King of Dreams" or "Something We Can't Say". As far as acting is concerned, Sanjay Dutt and Aamir Khan have the best in this movie. However, I felt that Sanjay Dutt's character was a bit inconsistent. His character's actions seemed to be not consistent from one scene to another. However, Aamir Khan's character's actions seem more consistent and convincing. If he acts like he's a great actor, I'm sure he can perform better than this. Another problem I had with this movie was that the storyline is not logical. There are numerous inconsistencies in the storyline and therefore, the storyline becomes complex. All of a sudden, after Sanjay Dutt and Aamir Khan's character's emotional scenes, the film jumps to another plot in which we are told that something is happening in the Pakistani army's land and Sanjay Dutt has a conversation with a person in the army. I don't know why. After that, the movie switches back to the first part where the boy meets Sanjay Dutt. I feel that the last part of the movie needs a little more development. However, the movie is still an excellent movie. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. If you like the Bollywood movies, you should check out this movie. If you have never seen any Bollywood movie, you should definitely watch this movie.<|endof

This film is as much about War and its effect on children as it is on their parents. Its story was probably written in one go but its impact is as long lasting as the original draft of the book. The impression I got from it was that it is an account of the plight of children in WWI and how they cope with the rough and violent events of the war. The scene I liked the most is when the father recounts the story of the man who kept the child in his shop as a little boy. It is a surprisingly emotional and poignant scene as the father speaks in tears of his gratitude for the man who made him a better father. It is one of the most emotional moments in the film and this is what makes the film so powerful. Its most effective message is that war is not an easy thing to deal with and that children suffer from this in the same way as adults. It also shows how young children are affected by these events. The cast in this film are great and the actors all give outstanding performances. Surprisingly for a children's film, the children are portrayed as likable, especially when compared to the adults. The children in this film were just like real children and that is one of the reasons why this film is so powerful. This is the first film of Arunoday Kulkarni to be nominated for a kudos, as well as a few other awards. The film is a reminder of the tragedy that has happened in WWI but this is not the sole reason for its success. As stated earlier, it is mainly a story of the impact of war on children.

Some movie reviews are useless, but this one is. I found it a complete and true reflection of the Indian Society in the 1980s and especially the Bengali society, just in the last 25 years. I never liked Bengali movies, but "Tubelight" and "Lahore" were two of the best. The hero of the movie, Saroo Brierley, a very traditional Bengali youth, is really the embodiment of the archaic style of Indian cinema. At first sight, he is the typical noble and extremely rigid Bengali hero. But after the evil intentions of some police officers are proved, his character change a bit, and he slowly becomes a very good boy. This also happens with the members of the family. Everyone is "heroic" until the last minute. It is like a painting, in which the last detail is most important. And every character, at first sight, is of the "classical" type. But gradually, they start to evolve into characters with different characteristics, until the last minute. The different roles of the police officers, the wives of the village brothers, the strict local political leaders, the businessmen, the Kolkata educated ladies, even the bouncers of the local bars; all are mixed in this epic movie. When you think about it, "Tubelight" is one of the best movies ever made, for the Indian Cinema, for Bollywood, and for everyone who cares for human values.

Tubelight is a movie with a good story and a well executed storyline. But the execution of this movie left a lot to be desired. The movie ends with a cliffhanger that doesn't add anything to the story. The movie doesn't have an end as an end was given to the last scene that the movie was shot. The only thing that made me want to watch this movie was the portrayal of a war and how the students would die in order to survive. But the acting of the cast was as expected. This movie would have been an okay movie if it had a better execution and not the slow and uninspired first half. This movie is a must watch for anybody who is a war buff or wants to watch a good movie.

This movie could have been done better. There is no way to make a movie like this with the entire cast of SRK, Kajol, Rani, Priyanka etc. So it was a huge task. But the movie is good. It has a real message and it really hits you. It was a bit long but it was a good movie. Watch it.

It is difficult to know whether it is a heartrending story about the war in Burma or a dramatisation of the real events that took place there. Either way it is a film that should be watched by everyone who is interested in what happened in Burma during the Burma Campaign. The acting is very good, especially from the British actors and the scenery is beautiful. I enjoyed the film, but I would not recommend it for the squeamish.

This is an excellent movie but the acting was underwhelming. The characters in this movie are not well written. The characters were all over the place and inconsistent, I know there was going to be a plot twist at the end but I was confused and in awe of the final scene. The movie is very different from the book. A lot of the characters seemed to have no explanation of their actions, I mean they all acted in a completely different way and without any explanation of their motivations. I do not see any reason to see this movie.

The movie has only one plot. Cops from Allahabad hunt down a "killer of minorities" for a terrorist attack on a train in the town of Allahabad. A famous poet, his wife, his sister and her lover are the only ones who suspect the killer, Sathish Prasad (Sanjay Dutt). In the beginning, everyone is ready to believe that the killer is a Sikh. The comedy helps the viewer understand the seriousness of the situation. The movie doesn't have many dramatic parts but it is still a good watch. There are few humorous parts in the film. Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar are good in their roles. Some of the scenes in the movie are inspirational. Music is really good. The music of the movie is so well composed. Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar give a good performance.

Gautam, an orphan and writer, is a painter and he works with his brother in the circus. They are getting bored with their work and decide to take a bus to Rajasthan and head for Andhri. But they fall for a rich girl and are being abused by the boss. Then they end up in Jaipur where the film ends. You know, the film is set in Jaipur but it's not only the people that make it a story. The city is filled with art, beautiful but also sad places, still important things, people and yes, the circus that you may not know about, but it's there, it's alive and it's inspiring, it's hard to forget. The director does a great job, it's clear from the start that it's all done with the love of a heart. Even though it's a tragedy, it's also a story about the love of a people. But as is, it also has a great message and showing how important these people are, how it's all about tolerance. You might not like this film, but in a time of great art the story of people against a corrupt system, will stay with you forever. The real story of war is still going on and at the same time, it's time for peace.

In many ways, this movie depicts how the notion of caste system has a lot of impact on how the society reacts to those who would challenge the system. Most of the actors were good, while Kajol did a good job in her role. The movie is a family drama as well. While it may be a good one, it does not hold it's own as the other films that have been made on this topic. It also had a different view that made it unique. The script could have been better, but the story and acting were good. In many ways, this film could be compared with Lord of the Rings, but this is not a weak point as the movie is full of action and has its characters in a sense of their human nature. Overall, it's a good movie and I hope more movies like this are made on this topic.

Bollywood churns out tributes to the Indian National Army by the hilt. A lot of these are works of fiction, some of which have to do with true stories. This one here, the fake ones are, and for that, the film and the studio suffer for it. Director Ardhanush was great as usual, with the violence being matched by some of the grittiness of the violence in the earlier series. Rajat Kapoor is amazing as usual in a 'weird' role. The rest of the cast are all OK. Some of the music was very typical of Hindi cinema, but it was all in good taste. The villain and the hero do some great feats of acrobatics, though I really wish there had been more of the second one. Overall, a good movie to pass the time if you have nothing better to do. The music at times was very excellent, especially those of the "Aatastuti" song, though it was played a few times too quickly, with music scores being played off each other rather than the "Ayyy.iyy" sort of tempo. This one has also been given the status of a classic, even though it's a whole lot of the same stuff from earlier films. But if you are into an Indian movie that won't bore you to death, this one's for you.

Director RKSingh's debut feature 'Pale Rider' has been a surprise hit. At times, the movie is just okay, and is at other times, the film is so stunning. The film is not just a political thriller, but also a strong tale of moral duty.The story revolves around Gautam Das, an Indian soldier who is on a break from service when he learns that his family has been killed. He travels back to his village in Bihar, and finds out that the village has been attacked and people are being slaughtered by police forces. When he hears about a massacre, he goes to the village with the help of a local politician, who is also an Indian. The village panchayat leaders decide to stand up to the police forces, and start killing off the police officers and robbers. In the middle of this, Gautam Das is betrayed by his own friends and is forced to return to his village. The villagers decide to stand up to the police forces and send them to jail. The villagers go to the police station, and deliver a letter to the police chief. It is said that the letter is written by the President of India, Narendra Modi. The villagers believe that Modi is the prime minister of India. The film is a very powerful drama. The films main themes are morality, leadership, faith and duty. It also has the political issues of casteism, racism, and forced marriage. This is the first Hindi movie to do a story based on real events. This is the first story of Modi being a politician, and his role in the previous Indian government. The character Gautam Das is outstanding, and has tremendous impact on the audience. The scene when he delivers the letter to the police chief is so powerful. RKSingh's previous films are all well. 'Saw' and 'Pink' were spectacular. He is a very talented director. In 'Pale Rider', he succeeds in bringing us a great story and a strong and epic lead performance by RKSingh. But, he could have done much better. On the other hand, RKSingh should be praised for the screenplay. The story is strong and really moving. The most touching scenes are when RKSingh is in the village talking to the village leaders and giving them a show of honour. The screenplay also makes use of the local language. It is not the everyday Hindi spoken by the villagers. There are very strong scenes of Hindi in the film. I really like the screenplay. It is superbly written. RKSingh should also be praised for the direction. His direction is very good. The direction is very natural and very impressive. He is the first director to use slow motion shots and slow motion camera shots in a Hindi movie. The slow motion scenes are very well done. RKSingh is a very talented director. The director also had an outstanding previous film with 'Puliyod', which was excellent. This is the first Hindi film of RKSingh to be well directed. The music is very good. There is not a

It's a crazy film, with some superb songs, a fast pace, and some skillful directing. The story is one of many that is shot in black and white, and it is a fairly subdued story of loyalty and self-sacrifice. This is an extremely powerful film. But it is far from perfect. I did not care for the person in the lead, who was so emotionally distant and didn't appear to be coping with his grief. It was so over-the-top that it is hard to sympathize with him. He, and the man who played his brother, looked fake. I also wanted to like the guy who played his father more, but he was a bore. He seemed to be one more mouthpiece for his son and there was a big, dark hole in his character. So, that being said, this is not a bad film. The singing of "Duplicate" is beautiful and uplifting, the movie's pace is fast and fairly methodical, and it's visual feel is highly reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman. However, I felt the movie was all over the place. There were parts that were pointless, and parts that were completely rushed and superfluous. The musical numbers where also overdone, and the film itself was at times over-long and excessively sentimental. I didn't care for either of the leads. Even though they did great with the material given them, their roles were so full of emotion that it didn't really feel like they were doing anything but acting. And the ending was a bit out of place. But, if you're into period dramas, then this one is for you.

That was the last time I laughed in a movie theater. The script was so ridiculous. I can't remember a single line that made sense in this movie. Several characters were developed very slowly. The story itself was very hard to follow. The dialogs were one-dimensional and very childish. The only saving grace is the special effects. Most of the sequences were so plain and poor. The trailers and previews didn't help this movie at all. It looks like a 2-hour 'Footloose' episode. This movie has nothing to do with politics and religion. It is not about that either. You can either like it or hate it. But if you have a mind of your own, don't miss this movie. The people who would like it will tell you that it's bad, but they are wrong.

I saw this movie with my father in school and my father was a Communist and he was shocked at the content of the movie. He said that it was the worst movie he had ever seen. That was until the day I came back from school and watched the movie again. I have to say this is one of the best movies ever made and I would recommend it to anyone. There are so many scenes that are haunting and I can not get over them. My dad was afraid of this movie because of the subject matter. I have to say I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. This movie should be required viewing for every youth in America. The movie shows the American way of life in a very honest and strong way and it gives the message that Communism is not what it is made out to be. It shows how our youth need to be educated to be able to have a true understanding of the government and the things it does. The acting in this movie is amazing and they really make you believe the two boys are real. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good movie and wants to know what America is really like.

Don't get me wrong, i think the movie was beautiful, and i think it is so wonderful to see the younger generation be able to understand what the fear and anger of the generation was, because most of the older generation died in war, and because they were not able to understand the pain of the veterans, and the struggle for their dignity. The film was so beautiful, and i think every generation can learn something from it. For me, the movie was a beautiful tribute to all the veterans, and i was so happy to see the movie.

Remember that TV Channel which aired series like as I mentioned it the last few years? Well this show is similar to that channel in the sense that it is a lot of story which are told from the point of view of a Muslim, it shows that Muslims are on the point of suicide attacks and their reaction to it in reality is different, it is not about an aim to destroy this film making industry. One of the Muslim actors which is part of the cast in the film is Kamal Hassan, he is on the point of where the story goes. It shows how Muslim do not want to talk about the biggest news which is in the midst of India in the wake of terrorism and the reaction it produces in the country. The story is told of two brothers, he is a Muslims, he likes to read, he is in charge of his brother, he is a doctor. The day he goes to school, he is attacked by a Muslim who is not that helpful to him in every sense. He is attacked by the Muslim man, his brother refuses to help him and he dies. His brother then marries a Hindu girl and he is the man who accepts the marriage. Next day his brother says that the man will go to jail for a year and will have to leave his family. Kamal Hassan said the same thing in the film. The following day, a Muslim student whom Kamal Hassan had killed in the first day of the film went to a mosque in which he was to attack a Jewish man who had a reputation of being a terrorist. Kamal Hassan had said that he does not like to have the same status of a terrorist for Muslims and no one is a terrorist for them. Kamal Hassan did not show all these scenes as I suggested, it is the only part that I understood in this film. One of the soldiers who was part of the gang was not Muslim but he did not show what was his opinion about the suicide attacks. The other soldier who had joined the gang as a soldier and was with Kamal Hassan was one who had an open discussion with him about the suicide attacks. What I found interesting was the response of the younger brother, he was an imam and he was more of the like of Kamal Hassan, he didn't approve of suicide attacks, he was very much against suicide attacks, but he wanted to be part of the gang and that was how he got involved in the gang and the rest was his brother and Kamal Hassan. I must add that in the film it does not say that this is just a Muslim film, it is an Indian film and it shows that the same kind of situation and reaction occur in India, where religious intolerance is a problem.

Aamir Khan has done it again. This time he has lost all the of the screen-shades and well. only the charisma! Ranbir has gone through a good process in the film, which has seen him has been into better direction. The performances were spectacular and Raja's performance has been great as well. When is he going to have a change in character? Shabana Azmi and others have been good, Ranbir had given a fine performance in the beginning of the film, in which he has shown his emotional and his fighting. But, he did not do well for the latter half of the film. Shabana has been very good. Ranbir had given a excellent performance, but that was not good enough for the latter half. In the end, you would not like to watch this film! It is not a must watch film and you can make other plans.

I wanted to watch this film only because it has performed extremely well in the box office. But with good reviews on board, I expected a lot more than what I was left with. This is a well made movie. The script is well written. This is a highly intelligent film and, if you don't like it, don't watch it. The plot of the film is not bad at all, but some parts seemed unoriginal and were greatly underused. The character's and acting is fine and it does the best it can with what it has. The end is very good. A few flaws here and there, but the plot works really well. Just a little bit more effort could have been put in to make the ending a bit more original. That part was a little below par, but that part is not really a problem. The acting is decent, the directing is good. I gave this movie a 7 because it's well worth watching and an eye-opener, but it can be a bit overrated. If you like films like this one, then this is definitely for you. If not, then I suggest you stay away.

I saw the movie in theatre with my parents and 2 other teens from a local church. This movie was surprisingly good. The movie was a lot different from the book and a lot better than expected. I have enjoyed the movie before and I did not expect it to be so good, so I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a different movie to watch.

With the backdrop of the Kashmir crisis, a group of 10-year-old girls are used to dress in soiled clothes to attend schools. At the beginning of the story, Nasseri, a school principal, sends for the heads of each family in the area, and tells them that a programme for girls is being put on at his school. So the sisters make their way to the school with the help of a police officer and a boy who happens to be the head of the father of the family, and meets the headmaster, Shabir (Javed Jaffery). At the school, girls are made to attend a school for boys and girls are made to attend a school for girls. During the visit, Shabir asks Nasseri to speak with his sister about her family. Nasseri also starts a relationship with a boy who is the headmaster of the school. The police officer begins to play a role in Nasseri's life. The police officer is called Shabir's son, and when Shabir's family learns of the arrests, they break into his house, looking for his son. Meanwhile, in the village, Nasseri meets a boy who is a fireman. He is accused of murder and gives a false confession. The police officer is sent to take his case. Meanwhile, Nasseri and Shabir have a fling. "Chos se koi bhi rehna" is the title of the movie. This is a movie that could have been very interesting, but it ends up as a typical so-called Pakistani movie. The first half is very interesting, but that changes when the second half takes place. The second half is like the whole first half. It is a typical Pakistani movie. There is no real plot or much story. The majority of the movie is boring. The only good things are the music, and the first half of the movie, although it is very good.
