STRANGERS

STRANGERS, starring Kay Kay Menon, Jimmy Sheirgill, Sonali Kulkarni and Nandana Sen, is an ‘out-of-the-box’ Hindi movie. The movie featuring an interesting, less predictable murder plot gives a sophisticated feel to the movie. Cinematography and background score in Strangers is very well done. Produced by Uday Tiwari and directed by Anand Rai, this movie will bound to catch-on in the international scene. The music in this soundtrack is by Vinay Tiwari and lyricist is Javed Akhtar.

SAWAARIYA

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest movie, SAAWARIYA, takes a different style to the usual Bollywood movies. The director of award winning movies like Hum Dil De Chupke Sanam, Devdas and Black has directed Saawariya in a more stage-musical style incorporating great sets and cinematography. Ranbir Kapoor (son of Rishi Kapoor) does a great job as a debutante hero, while Sonam Kapoor (daughter of Anil Kapoor) is pretty well for her debut appearance as heroine. Rani Mukherji plays her role well as always. All in all, a different take for a SLB movie…

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR

Directed, produced and acted by Aamir Khan, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR touches the heart of all viewers, regardless of age and background. Aamir Khan’s intention of showing that ‘every child is special’ is definitely succeeded in this movie. Darsheel Safary plays the role of the ‘special child’ extremely well. Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy’s music is appropriate and depicts the scenes perfectly. A great family story and a definite MUST SEE!

JODHA AKHBAR

A Mughal emperor and Rajput Princess’ love story, set in the sixteenth century is what JODHA AKHBAR is. Directed and produced by Ashutosh Gowariker, this Hrithik Roshan and Aiswarya Rai starrer is an epic love story. The cinematography was well set, with a solid storyline too, although longer than the usual Bollywood movie. Costumes and performances captured the sixteenth century setting fairly well. Music was scored by A.R.Rahman. Jodha Akbar is good entertainment for some classic, historical storyline.
