Director: Punit Malhotra



Story : ‘I hate luv storys’ is the maxim Jay lives by.

Raajneeti

Star Cast: Labels: Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Casting, Katrina Kaif, Manoj Vajpayee, Nana Patekar, Nasurdin Shah, Ranbir Kapoor
Director : Prakash Jha

Raajneeti is a story about Indian politics. About Indian democracy. About Indian elections. Above all, it is a story of a few people who control the destiny of millions. It is the story of their unstoppable ambition, and their bitter and violent battle to achieve it. This is the story of people who understand power - and know how to wield it at will.
It is the story of a fiercely fought election campaign, where money-power and corruption are the accepted norms, and where treachery and manipulation are routinely used weapons. As the personal drama of these conflict-ridden characters unfolds against this gritty backdrop, love and friendship become mere baits, and relationships get sacrificed at the altar of political alignments. The darkness that rises from their soul threatens to envelope all that they hold precious. Until eventually, in the crescendo of increasing violence, the line between good and evil blurs, making it impossible to distinguish heroes from villains.

Raajneeti is the story of Indian democracy. And its ugly underside. It is about politics. And beyond.

KITES

Star Cast:Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut, Barbara Mori, Kabir Bedi
Director : Anurag Basu
Producer : Rakesh Roshan, Sunaina Roshan
Music Director : Rajesh Roshan



Story : The desert sun beats down a man, hurt and barely alive. The one thought on J’s mind as he fights for his life in the burning desert is Natasha.

J (Hrithik Roshan) is a salsa instructor in Las Vegas.
Natasha (Barbara Mori), a Spanish woman, comes to him to learn the salsa. Though they don’t speak the same language, it does not stand in the way of love.

However their moment of happiness is cut short and that’s when Gia (Kangana Ranaut) steps into the picture as J’s student.

Kites is much more than a tale of love. Betrayal and violence join hands to take it beyond a romance and into the tracks of a thriller.

New York

Cast: John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan
Writer: Aditya ChopraCostume Designer: Rocky S.
Director: Kabir Khan




Omar (Neil) is picked up by the FBI and detained for arms found in his owned taxi. Basically it’s a well planned set up by FBI officer Roshan (Irrfan) and his boss to get Omar agreeing on to work as an undercover agent for them and infiltrate the family the life of Samir (John) and Maya (Katrina) who were Omar’s college friends 7-8 years back. Roshan suspects Samir of running a sleeper terrorism cell and he wants to nab him red handed. Omar is left with no option but to comply with Roshan’s orders but he agrees on one condition that the FBI won’t kill Samir if he agrees to surrender. Years back when in college Omar, Maya and Samir were thick buddies and Omar silently loved Maya but when she expressed her love for Samir, Omar had gone away from them. What truth Omar uncovers when he meets Samir and Maya both now a married couple with a small kid Danielle and what it all leads to forms the rest of the film.
New York can easily be considered the best film to come out of the Yash Raj stable after Chak De India. Shot entirely in the US, the film not only is on par with the best of the Hollywood films made in this genre but is a completely different experience which the Bollywood audience is not used to. You are completely hooked from the first scene of the film when Neil is arrested by FBI and the interrogation that follows by Irrfan of Neil’s. The first half is extremely well narrated and keeps you constantly guessing as to what will happen next. The interval point is a shocker and you look forward to an exciting second half. But then the pace of the second half somehow doesn’t match up that of the first half and there are some predictable things in store. But nonetheless it is packed with some really great moments. The whole frisking episode of Katrina Kaif by a cop on the road late at night and the sequences that follow it linger on your mind for long. The climax though a bit word heavy is superbly shot as well. The torture scenes shown immediately post the interval send a shiver down your spine. Pritam’s music is easy on the ears and there are no lip sync songs to hamper the proceedings.
New York scores high in the acting department with each single actor delivering his/her best. John Abraham often termed as an expressionless actor has delivered his career’s finest performance. Katrina Kaif has finally got the meatiest role of her career and she has taken full advantage of it. She is very good in emotional scenes as well. Neil in a difficult part shines. Irrfan Khan never disappoints and here again he is in great form. His scenes with Neil and also his senior officer have turned out well.

Kambakkht Ishq

Story: Kambakkht Ishq explores the relationship between two individuals as different from each other as chalk and cheese. No matter how many times they are pushed together, there are only fireworks...no fire. Viraj Shergill (Akshay Kumar) is a swashbuckling stuntman in Hollywood who lives by the mantra "women are only good for two things... making love & making love". Simrita Rai (Kareena Kapoor) is a firebrand who is more than able to stare down the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue... her firm belief "there's no such thing as love".

So what happens when the two people who hate each other the most meet at Simrita's best friend Kamini's and Viraj's brother Lucky's wedding? ... a wedding that both Viraj and Simrita are violently opposed to and desperate to stop.

Sparks fly, absurd, hilarious situations until one dramatic twist of fate binds the two together in a manner that they could have never ever even dreamed of in their wildest fantasies. The battle of the sexes on. Who is going to throw the punches and who is going to blow the kisses?

Aloo Chat

In the film “Aloo Chat” aftab shivdasani play the main character role. As the name of the movie reflects, it’s story is also the same means mixing with masala. The life of the aftab become more confusing. He likes a girl(Aamna Shariff) and also want to marry her. But there is a problem because his family don’t want him to marry with the girl of his choice. His family is very orthodox family. They want to choose girl for him of their choice.
Then what is the option for him, when his entire family is against the bride of his choice? What he has to do? he has to replace his family (that is not really possible) or his bride (which he does not want) or make an aloo chaat of his life (if not this, then what else!!). This is main twist in the story. The story is very funny that you entertain it a lot.

Dhoondte Reh Jaoge

The movie is full of entertainment. you can say it quite funny movie. In the movie the Anand(Kunal Khemu) is a chartered accountant and Raj(Paresh Rawal) is a film producer.
They want to make money. For this they make a huge plan. According to the plan they decide to produce a feature film. Actually they want to make a film so badly so that people would reject it on the first day of its realese. Anand and Raj believe this would give them a foolproof chance to decamp with the remaining huge amount they've raised for the making of this venture. They want to see movie as one of the biggest flop movie but the film turns out to be a huge hit. The result is quite opposite as they want. You can see, how they handle the situation now in the movie.
