Must Watch: Children of War

Even if the Indian audience loves the movies of heroes with six-pack abs or hot divas and thumbs down the real and intense historical movies like Madras Cafe, I admire the courage of the director Mritunjay Devrat for throwing focus on the genocide during Bangladesh liberation war of 1971. One should admire the effort of the director to present the intense violent scenes depicting rape of many Bangladeshi women. 

Also, the performance of Pawan Malhotra in negative role of a Pakistani Amy personnel, deserves applauds. Apart from him the late Farooq Shekh has also left his impact on cinema industry by his humble role in the movie.

In a nutshell, if you courage to swallow the reality behind the liberation movement of 1971, the movie Children of War will make you cry and compel you to applause the efforts of Mr. Devrat.

Must Watch: Bhootnath Returns.

After watching his social awakening movie Main Aazad Hoon (1989) few years back on Set Max, I became fan of Big B in such roles. His latest recent with Bhootnath Returns proves that his aura and suitability for such roles has not faded. 

Opposed to the popular presumption, this movie is not only meant to be a comedy flick or kids' catgory movie. Rather it can be said to be a movie that explains us a lesson in our own way. Also, the theme picked by the producer, i.e. general elections, is the burning one, whose heat has set the Indian democracy on fire. 

Parth Bhalerao (the child named Akhrot) has complemented Big B in every manner in performance of the character of a ghost electoral candidate. 
also, we can't undermine the negative role of Boman Irani. In his role as Bhau, he seems to emulate and imbibe a true character of a local mafia. With some comic scenes and with awesome performances, this movie delivers a strong message on election and importance of voting in Indian democracy.

In a nutshell, when Bhootnath returns, our hope in democracy returns too.

Facing the music: Ankit Tiwari

Bollywood singer Ankit Tiwari, who was arrested last week for allegedly raping a woman, moved a sessions court seeking bail.

Ankit Tiwari, who was remanded in judicial custody by local magistrate, filed the application for bail saying he was being falsely implicated in the case.

The 24-year-old singer said in his complaint that the concerned woman is already married and has a child. He also alleged that there are many contradictions in the complaint lodged by the woman, who is believed to be his girlfriend.

Ankit Tiwari, known for his song ‘Sun Raha Hai Na’ in Bollywood movie ‘Aashiqui 2′, was arrested on May 8 after the woman filed a case in Versova police station accusing him of sexually assaulting her between October 2012 and December 2013 on the promise of marrying her.

Ankit Tiwari’s brother Ankur was also apprehended for allegedly threatening the woman with dire consequences over a period of time if she files complaint in this regard.

Ankit Tiwari was booked under section 376 (punishment for rape), 493 (cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage), and section 506 (2) (punishment for criminal intimidation) of Indian Penal Code.

Notable Role (9/1000): K K Menon (Gulaal).

There are some movies, which you often like to watch more than once and there are some movies, with such a great actors, which make you watch some scenes of the movie time and again.

Gulaal is one such movie and KK Menon (playing the character role of Duggi Bana) is one such actor in this movie. His way of expression and the way he imbibes the character of the movie is unmatched.

The way he shows his anger and his authority in this movie makes his performance in Gulaal best till now.
