comedy thriller directed by Kaizad Gustad

and Sachiin Joshi. The film has Naseeruddin Shah playing the main role,

Jackpot is a fast-paced
thriller con, with sharp comic one-liners and crazy characters, set entirely in
Goa against the backdrop of casino boats.
The film goes
back and forth in time, capturing one Goan monsoon. It's a card game between
the players in the con. Who will come out Aces and who will end up being the
Joker?
An amateur gang
of young Goans plan the perfect con - no nuksaan, no pareshan. However, all
good plans often...
It doesn't take
long for them to discover that a reverse con has been played back on them - by
the very people they were trying to con.
In doing so, the
five members of the gang split and start suspecting each other. After all, when
there is cash in a briefcase, and a beautiful woman with a gun, things tend to
go horribly wrong.
The world of the
lazy Goa backwaters is pitted against the world of the non-stop Goa casinos,
where night can be day.
This is an ideal
breeding ground, where all kind of cons can find a suitable home. This is
Jackpot -The Casino. The largest ship in the harbour. And we're open 24x7.
Con artists are
most welcome to try...
Thus Jackpot
is all about Trust, Greed, Sex, Money, Poker, River etc.

Lucky Kabootar
Lucky Kabootar is a comic and
romantic film produced by Karan Raj
Kanwar, directed by Shammi Chhabra
and with star cast consisting of Ravi
Kissen, Eijaz Khan, Kulraj Randhawa, Shraddha Das, Sanjay Mishra and Madhavi Sharma. Story writer is Shyam Goel, Background Music is by Sunil Singh, Choreographer is Vishnu Deva, Music Director is Santokh Singh and Lyricist is Sameer. Editing is done by Kuldeep Mehan and Cinematographer is Lenin Xavier.
The film has an
interesting story. At the funeral of his wife, Eijaz learns that the government is giving out a large sum of
money to families whose loved ones have died. To add to the mess, he gets
married to his wife's twin sister. What follows is a laugh riot.
Lucky Kabootar should be a fun
ride; an irreverent, rueful look at human frailties -about a regular guy who
finds it difficult to make ends meet and tries his hand at something
unconventional. The movie follows his trials and tribulations and his attempts
to bring his life back on track.
What The Fish
What The Fish is a film that
belongs to ‘Drama’ genre. It is produced by Kumud Shahi Malik and K R
Harish and directed by Gurmeet Singh.

The film What
The Fish has an interesting story. Sudha
Mishra (Maasiji) who is a 67 years old, divorced and grumpy woman with
enormous energy and the ability to live in the present has just come back to
her home in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. She is a mother to a confused and angry
young man who has given up a career in television direction and her divorced
husband is a playboy in L.A .
While she was
away, Sumit, her niece's fiance was
given the responsibility to take care of the house and was clearly instructed
to feed the fish and water the plants. His marriage was hinging on this.
At the end of
the holiday when Sudha reaches her
quaint house and starts its inspection with detective accuracy. Had the fish
been fed? Had her plants been watered? She reaches the alcove with her beloved
crystal fish bowl and collection of money plants. Everything seems to be in
order but is it? As she opens her bedroom door she is taken aback by a woman
rushing past her.
Sumit had thrown the helluva party for all
his friends at Sudha's house and
broken all the rules as instructed by her and also handed over the house to an
eloping couple, who then handed it over to a miscreant property broker. The
house is then taken over by a Haryanvi Jaat who is a cross dressing Kathak
Dancer, followed by a tribal family from Mizoram.
What ensues is a
recap of the events that took place beginning from when Sudha left her house in Sumit's
hands.
Inside Llewyn Davis
Inside Llewyn
Davis
is a 2013 American comedy-drama film written, directed and edited by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film stars Oscar
Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and John
Goodman, and was produced by Scott
Rudin, Ethan and Joel Coen. It
tells the story of a singer-songwriter who navigates New York's folk music
scene in the 1960s.
The film has an
interesting plot. The film focuses on one week in the life of a talented but
struggling folk singer from Greenwich Village in 1961. There is a cat named Ulysses that is present throughout the
film.
Inside Llewyn
Davis
is about musicians that are only pretty good and, at times, awful. Llewyn Davis, played with brilliantly
morose charm by Oscar Isaac, is a
folk singer in a neighborhood that's about to be the global epicenter of folk
music — early '60s Greenwich Village — and launch the careers of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and others. His
odyssey is put in motion by that classic problem of trying to find a cheap
place to crash in New York City. If he could just get a good manager, he could
make a buck and end the journey.
But Inside
Llewyn Davis is unflinchingly and unquestionably the portrait of its
title character. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a cash strapped, couch
hopping, down on his luck, homeless folk musician clinging to his dream of
performing for a living – doing more than “just existing,” as he puts it at one
point – despite a lousy manager, worse record sales, and the still-fresh
suicide of his former recording partner. The entire movie displays maybe a week
of Llewyn’s life, but at the end of
that week we’ve seen Llewyn come full
circle (literally – the first scene is also the last, but feels like it
naturally belongs in both places) going from artistic high to soul-crushing low
and back. Isaac comes as advertised
in the title role, turning in an excellent performance and shining particularly
in the moments the film slows down to showcase nothing but his performance
singing and playing the guitar. Llewyn
is beat down and pushed to the edge, but has such a passion for music that he
simply cannot bear to walk away, and we see every nuance of that. As far as the
supporting cast is concerned, Carey
Mulligan stands out as Jean, Llewyn’s foul mouthed friend and
occasional (though ever repenting of it) lover. But at last, this is a movie
about one man, Llewyn Davis, and this
is at once the film’s greatest strength and greatest weakness. Despite the
decidedly interesting supporting characters, our attention is never diverted
from Llewyn’s story. Mostly, the
story is about Llewyn learning to
cope with the cyclical nature of his life while trying to make plans to move
forward.
Oldboy
Oldboy is a 2013
American remake of the 2003 Park Chan-wook South Korean cult film, which is
based on the Japanese manga with the same name. The film is directed by Spike Lee and written by Mark Protosevich. It stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto
Copley and Samuel L. Jackson.
Josh Brolin plays Joe Doucette, a two-bit ad exec who wakes up after an alcoholic
bender in a motel room, and remains locked up there for the next 20 years. He
has no idea who his captors are, only that they feed him a thoughtful tray of
dim-sum and vodka every day, and pay the cable bills on time, so that Joe can watch his wife's murder being
pinned on him in his absence, a succession of presidents being sworn in, and —
as luck would have it — a series of martial arts programmes. These come in very
handy when, one day, he wakes up in a field sporting a new buzzcut, a newly
toned body, an iPhone and a headful of vengeance. Game on.
Joe's tormentor (Sharlto Copley) is with him every step of the way, helpfully
phoning in clues and questions that will enable him to solve the mystery —
"Who I am and why did I imprison you?" — even throwing in an extra
hostage for "a little added motivation," when the plot needs a
freshener.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug
The Hobbit: The
Desolation of Smaug is a 2013 epic fantasy adventure film co-written,
produced and directed by Peter Jackson.
It is the second installment of a three-part film series based on J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The
Hobbit, beginning with An Unexpected Journey (2012) and set
to conclude with There and Back Again (2014). The three films together act as
prequels to Jackson's The
Lord of the Rings film series.
The storyline
continues the events of An Unexpected Journey, in which the
hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) travels with the wizard
Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and a company of thirteen dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) into the Kingdom of Erebor, taking them through
Mirkwood, Esgaroth, and Dale to combat with the dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch).
Jackson wrote the screenplay with his longtime
collaborators and Lord of the Rings co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa
Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro,
originally chosen to direct the Hobbit films. The film also stars Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Ken
Stott, James Nesbitt and Orlando
Bloom.
The movie has an
interesting plot. Bilbo along with Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield and his twelve companions, leave the Carrock
after the events of the previous film. They continue east to the edge of the
forest of Mirkwood where they encounter the skin-changer Beorn. Gandalf departs before the others enter Mirkwood where they
are attacked by giant spiders and, except for Bilbo, are captured by Wood-elves.
Bilbo helps the dwarves escape from the elves
and they follow the forest river to Lake-town, where they meet the Master of
the town, and Bard, a bowman and the descendant of the original Lord of Dale.
After acquiring a boat and supplies from the town, the company travels to the
Lonely Mountain. They eventually find the hidden door into the mountain and Bilbo enters and encounters the dragon Smaug.
In the meantime,
Gandalf leads the White Council to
drive the Necromancer out of Dol
Guldur. Gandalf enters Dol Guldur,
where he discovers the true identity of the Necromancer.
The elves of Mirkwood, led by King Thranduil and his son, Legolas, must battle the orc invasions from Dol Guldur.
