A semi-autobiography of Parveen Babi’s life, WHO LAMHE is written by Mahesh Bhatt and directed by Mohit Suri. Starring Shiny Ahuja, Kangna Ranaut (as Parveen Babi) and Shaad Randhawa, this story takes you through the complications of personalities in the cinema world, as well as how many use others to climb the career ladder in the industry. The movie also depicts schizophrenia well with the cast presenting and playing the part perfectly. Music was scored by Pritam and very well set out throughout the movie.

One of the recent trends in Bollywood movies is what is seen in LIFE IN A …… METRO – narrating multiple stories in one film. This Anurag Basu direction casts include Shiney Ahuja, Shilpa Shetty, Kay Kay Menon, Sharman Joshi, Gautam Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kangna Ranaut, Irrfan Khan, Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali. The characters in the movie are someway or other linked. The complexities in the various relationships of this cast, as well as what one does to achieve their goals is seen to wash away ethics and values – this is very well represented. The music by Pritam is well fused in throughout the movie in a unique manner. Life in a …… Metro is something not to be missed especially by the youth today, and also those trying to climb up the career ladder – are values and ethics worth the sacrifice for a promotion??? Not to be missed!

First time director Homi Adajania’s direction is BEING CYRUS – an Indian English language film. Starring Salif Ali Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani, Simone Singh, Tina Sethna, and Manoj Pahwa, Being Cyrus is a psychological drama based on a rather dysfunctional Parsi family. This is Saif Ali Khan’s first attempt in a film in English. This film talks through metaphors. However, it goes about the basic roots in an Indian (& Parsi) family – love, trust, tradition, culture and relationship. A well set-out film that is simple yet with good points to take home.
