3 Idiots is a comedy of ideas that is as provocative as it is funny, as wildly entertaining as it is insightful. A laugh-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits: self-actualization.

Synopsis

Set in the Bahamas & Bangkok, the film revolves around the complex relationships shared amongst the lead characters and their search for a lost treasure.

Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) and Sam (Zayed Khan) are brothers, who find a friend in Aarav (Akshay Kumar) – a manipulative and scheming business-tycoon. Mona (Lara Dutta) is Sagar’s love-interest in the film and Nikki (Katrina Kaif) is a free- spirited individual with an ulterior motive.

As emotions run high and motives run deep, the dark side of human nature lays bare. The characters grapple; initially with sharks, and then with their own pricking conscience as greed & betrayals take over and threaten to destroy their very existence.

With adrenaline pumping action sequences and death-defying stunts, BLUE has a stunning visual quality, quite unique from that of its contemporaries and has all the potential of becoming a land-mark film in Hindi Cinema.

Jai, the handsome Cop. He was smart and intelligent but not perfect. He unfortunately had a major weakness; he loved the company of pretty women. However he never let his heart rule his mind. He had recently been transferred from Delhi to Mumbai all because Pooja’s politician father could not understand their lust for each other.

Jai first met Tanya after the accident / murder of her partner Anirudh. He had one look at Tanya and he knew she was the one who did it. And she had three holy motives … money, envy and contempt. He tried hard, very hard to be impersonal. It was not easy, after all Tanya was The Seductress. Finally, hormones won and he discovered that he had a heart! What was he going to do?

Jai started the investigations. Anirudh had at least three people who wanted him out of the way. After all, his insurance policy was worth Rs.80 crores. Tanya was on the list, maybe at the top of it too, but the more she bared her heart out, the more Jai fell; in an abyss that we all fondly call love. This was new to him.

While he was battling with his emotions, Rahul Awasthi, the insurance investigator walked in. Rahul was sharp. He saw what Jai couldn’t or didn’t want to see. There was a lot of money at stake. He was sure that the killer was Tanya. But was she?

It was poised like a game … and they all were ‘love all’. Jai and Tanya on one side, Rahul on the other!

Tanya, the damsel in distress, bids for her time. She waits for all this to end, and it does end so. But not close to anything anybody would have imagined. At least both Jai and Rahul can’t help admiring.

Sushmita Sen and Govinda in Do Knot Disturb

Trio Vashu-David-Govinda after 10 long years of their hit “Bade miyaan chote miyaan” are coming up with DKD to re-create their magic. Prior to this they have come up with super-hits films like “Coolie No.1” and “Hero No.1”. The lyrics is written by Samir and music is composed by duo Nadeem-Sharvan.

The story goes like that Govinda lays the character of rich and filthy businessman and Sushmita Sen plays his wife, who is beautiful and sophisticated woman. He is in love with super model Lara Dutta. Ritesh plays his friend. Govinda seeks help from Ritesh to hide his ex-marital affair from his wife. And then the confusion, twist and turns starts.

An old truck beckons, which Vishnu sees as his ticket to freedom. He offers to drive the antique Chevy across the desert to the sea, where it has been sold to a local museum. As he sets off across the harsh terrain of desert India, he discovers he’s not merely transporting a battered vehicle but an old touring cinema.

Along the way, Vishnu reluctantly picks up a young runaway (Mohammed Faizal Usmani), a wandering old entertainer (Satish Kaushik) and a striking gypsy woman (Tannishtha Chatterjee – Brick Lane). Together they roam the barren land, searching for water and an elusive fair. The journey turns dire when they are waylaid by corrupt cops and a notorious waterlord.

The key to their freedom is the eccentric collection of films and the two forty-year-old film projectors in the back of the truck. As in 1001 Nights, if the films are good, they live and move on. If the films are boring, they face death in the outback.

The journey proves transformative for each of the travelers, but especially for Vishnu who discovers life, love and laughter on the Indian highway.

Produced by the US-based Ross Katz and Susan B. Landau, and presented by The Indian Film Company and Studio 18, the script of the Dev Benegal-directed feature was an official selection at L’Atelier du Cannes in 2006. Road, Movie (in Hindi) is India’s first breakthrough feature at TIFF’09 – an official selection that will have a world premiere at The Winter Garden Theatre on September 18.

A 12 year old boy picks up a country made gun and shoots a man in cold blood! His eyes, devoid of any emotion. His heart exhibits no remorse. After shooting the person in broad day light, this 12 year old boy walked the streets of Aman ganj, with a gun in one hand. Everyone present in the market watched this young lad walk with no fear.

The fear in fact had translated, from him into everyone’s heart there. He had made a mark!!!

The boy who started from the streets of Aman ganj had trespassed every barrier of crime. For the 10 years that followed he traumatized one and all. His reign of fear terrorized everyone in the state, right from the common man to the Government. This was … BAABARR (Soham Shah)!!!

In May 2004 when this reign of fear knew no bounds, the Government summoned a man to put an end to all of this. An encounter specialist S.P. Dwivedi (Mithun Chakroborty). The order was simple, arrest him or kill hill him!!!

On job, S.P. Dwivedi realizes that there is more than what meets the eye. It is not only BAABARR, but there exists a cartel that is tough to penetrate!! BAABARR in fact feeds on the very people that want him dead. S.P. Dwivedi realizes that there is no straight strategy around this. So he along with his associate, Daroga (Om Puri) set out to nab the one man who is untouchable today. These two will do anything under the purview of the law or even over it, to curb this antisocial. For this they would need to get into their scheme the dreaded adversary of Baabarr called TABREZ (Sushant Singh), but without his knowledge.

What follows is a film noir, packed with action, shot at realistic locations of Lucknow. The grungy look of the city’s by-lanes and skyline of UP add to the character of the film. This dark film is intricately layered and looks not only into the life of a criminal but attempts to peep into the concept of ‘CRIME’ and areas where ‘Crime’ is nurtured. A parallel world that co exists with ours. A world our society dreads, where corruption excels, which the politicians exploit and where the honest succumb. Unfortunate but true!!!

YMI deals with path-breaking reality of numerous elements of the society. “YEH MERA INDIA” is an attempt to explore the real stories behind the headlines that flash every day and night on T.V channels revolving around violence, atrocities. YMI discovers how the world keeps on moving in spite of so much of multi layered bias which is actually the root cause of all this.

Stories deal with racial bias, communal bias, caste bias, class bias, gender bias, lingual bias and immigrant bias that plaque the today’s society and the outcome is startling. It is the human ability to redeem him at any given moment which reveals that behind every bad news there is good news. It is a story of one day in the life of 12 people from different strata of MUMBAI city which is a melting pot of cultures. They all start the day with a goal in mind but surprisingly end up achieving exactly the opposite, giving it a feel of Greek tragedy of futile human efforts in front of the inevitable Destiny. But in “YEH MERA INDIA” it is more of a reversal of fortune from bad to good than from good to bad.

YMI has been Written, Edited and Directed by veteran N.Chandra. IT is produced by jointly N.Chandra and Dhaval Gada. The film star-cast comprises of Anupam Kher, Atul Kulkarni, Milind Gunaji, Perizad Zorabian, Smily Suri, Praveen Dabbas, Rajit Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Sarika, Sayaji Shinde, Seema Biswas and Vijay Raaz. One more film hits the country with reality-based component in it.
