    Starring: Sarang Shetye, Bhagyashree Shankpal ,Atharva Padhyaye

    Genre: Drama

    The story revolves around a group of students and their teacher who fight to educate more children. The reason for the fight is the only school in the village is going to be shut down by the village authorities. Also the students of the school indulge in mischief which further agitates the villagers.

    The twist in the story comes when Abdul, a small and the most intelligent of the lot is forced to drop out. The reason being his uncle wants an additional hand to help. Despite the boy’s protests, his uncle makes him work in his tea stall.

    The rest of the story revolves around how the students rescue their friend who works as a child laborer.

    The movie is a good watch. It explores the themes of child labour, poverty and Right to education. It is such an irony that education which is supposed to be a gateway to agood life is denied to people who require it the most. Also, the politics revolving around education is a big shame.

    “Education is not preparation for life. Education is life itself.”- John Dewey

    Genre: Court Drama

    Starring: Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Neena Gupta, Prateik Babbar, Ashutosh Rana

    The story is set in the city of Varanasi. Murad Ali (Rishi Kapoor) is a lawyer by profession who lives with his joint family happily. The movie portrays the struggles faced by a Muslim family in a town where they are a minority.

    It so happens that Murad Ali’s nephew Shahid joins hands with a terrorist organisation and carries out blasts in Allahabad. A lot of people are killed. Superintendent of Police Danish Javed (Rajat Kapoor ) is given the task to investigate the blasts. He tracks down everyone involved but ends up killing Shahid as he does not surrender.

    Police start interrogating the family members of Murad Ali. In short, his entire life turns upside down because of the unfortunate incident. People who were friends start to view them with suspicion.

    The rest of the story is how the Ali family try to reclaim their lost honour in a court case. How they prove that terrorism is not religion based. How the society ends up creating a bias against certain communities .

    Well the movie is a gripping watch. It is an attempt to highlight the issues of stereotyping, terrorism and the issues revolving around it. Taapsee Pannu shines as the defendant daughter in law lawyer. Rishi Kapoor also does a fine job portraying the character of Murad Ali with great intensity . So if you are a lover of court room dramas just like me give it a watch. The movie will not disappoint you for sure. It is a great lesson for us in humanity as we wander through uncertain times.

    Rating- ****


    “We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.”- Barack Obama

  • Starring: Allu Arjun, Anu Emmanuel, Arjun Sarja, R. Sarathkumar, Boman Irani

    Genre: Action

    Allu Arjun is the main character in the movie. He plays a soldier recruit who is waiting eagerly for his posting at the Line of Control. However he suffers from immense anger issues. He is asked to solve his problem of anger management with a psychiatrist. Don’t understand the obsession of movies from South with mental illnesses. Remember Dhanush in 3 or Jyotsna in Chandramukhi? The psychiatrist in question is his father. Surya shares a tricky relationship with his father . However his dream of getting a posting at Line of Control is bigger than his hatred towards his father. He is given a 21 day challenge to control his anger. He overcomes the challenge, but feels as if he has lost his character.

    The reason being his anger used to bring out the best in him. There is patriotism, action, romance. In other words, it is a complete masala entertainer. It is a good watch. At times, the movie goes over the top. But the drama is tolerable. However only one complaint- why does Allu Arjun act as if he has no expressions? No disrespect for the actor because he is a big name in the south movie industry. But he needs to brush his acting skills more.

    Overall the movie invokes the spirit of patriotism. You do appreciate the hardwork put in by all actors. So the movie receives a thumbs up from me. Do tell me what you feel about the movie in the comment section.

    Rating-*** and a half stars
