Not many had heard of director Nishikant Kamat until the accolades he received for his first Marathi flick ‘Dombivili Fast’. Later R.Madhavan and Nishikant teamed up for the tamil version ‘Evano Oruvan’. Now, comes a dream project for the director with his first commercial hindi flick ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ ; a film celebrating the undying spirit of Mumbai backed by the likes of UTV.

‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ talks about the July 11,2006 Mumbai train blasts. The film explores the impact of this devastating incident on the lives of the people of Mumbai. From a brilliant broadcast journalist(Soha Ali Khan) to a patriotic corporate man(R.Madhavan); from a retiring policeman(Paresh Rawal) at the twilight of his life to a rookie cop(Vijay Maurya) at the dawn of his career; from an angry and xenophobic unemployed young man(Kay Kay Menon) to a coffee-vendor(Irrfan) struggling to survive and belong: ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ follows the lives of people from all strata of Mumbai’s bustling society as they tackle the aftermath of a fatal incident that brings out the best and sometimes the worst in them.

Direction:   Siddharth Anand

Why do girls always fall for the wrong guy? Their mothers warn them about him. Their friends shake their heads disapprovingly.

Their minds tell them to escape while the going is good. But no! Oh no! Their hearts are another story altogether. You see, they are always sending all the wrong signals. His name alone is enough to scramble their brains and set their hearts racing. Meet Raj.

Movie Review : God Tussi Great Ho

Banner:   Shabbo Arts
Cast:   Priyanka Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan, Manisha Koirala,Anupam Kher, Beena Kak, Rukhsar,
Direction:   Rumi Jaffery
Production:   Afzal Khan

The very first time one heard of this film the excitement levels rose. After the success of ‘Mushje Shaadi, Rumi Jaffrey , the writer of the film was now turning director. What more when you have the likes of Salman , Mr.Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra?

But over a span of 2 years (which can be observed in the film), the equation between the actors changed drastically. Be it the Salman-Priyanka or the Amitabh-Salman scenario. This surely has impacted the promotion of a ‘mighty’ film and until last week Salman didn’t come out to give interviews.
