New movie-releases in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Gulaab Gang
Gulaab Gang is an Indian
Hindi film centered on the struggle of women in the country. It is presented by
Sahara Movie Studios and Bharat Shah, directed by a debutant
director Soumik Sen and produced by Anubhav Sinha, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla as leads.
The film has Madhuri Dixit portraying the lead role –
Rajjo, Juhi Chawla portraying the antagonist - Sumitra Devi, Tannishtha
Chatterjee, Divya Jagdale, Priyanka Bose as Sandhya, Lata S. Singh
as Tara, Vinitha Menon as Vinita, Rani Patel as Khushboo and Tanvi Rao.
The film tells
the story of a gang of Indian women dressed in pink coloured saris, fighting
against social injustice, operating in Bundelkhand Uttar and Madhya Pradesh
(central India). Juhi Chawla is playing
her first role with the negative shades. She is playing a powerful, infamous
and villainous Politician.
In the movie, Madhuri leads a group of women fighting
against social injustice, while Juhi
is seen in a negative role as a politician. Gulaab Gang is about a
society where women are in power. The movie does not aspire to fight for women.
It is a masala potboiler - only both the protagonist and antagonist are women.
The film has a
subtle version of rural abuses. Things like 'chappal faad ke' convey the abuse.
There is not a single cuss word in the movie. The movie proves that you can be
powerful and show it without using very colourful language.
Thus the film is
just about two strong female protagonists fighting for/against social injustice
and the main issue that has been at the centre of focus in Gulaab Gang is girl-child
education and making them self-dependent and financially independent. It's
about woman empowerment through their own hard work and self-belief.
The women in
films are not caricature-ish where they are either victims or avengers. The
film is not about a woman who is victimised and then she takes revenge and then
there is end of film. This isn't the case in this film.
It is a battle
of supremacy between two gang leaders, lead actress Madhuri Dixit and Juhi
Chawla who plays the antagonist. There is a scene where Madhuri takes on Juhi's goons and fights hard.
While Madhuri impresses with some high-octane
action sequences, Juhi amazes with
her cunning politician avatar. With bold dialogues and rustic lingo, the film
depicts the battle between the 'good' and the 'evil'.
The film has
seven songs: Akhiyon, Dheemi dheemi,
Gulaabi - Title track, Jaiho - sung by Soumik
Sen, Rang se hui rangeeli, Rangi
saari gulaabi - sung by Snehlata
Dixit and Madhuri Dixit and Sharam laaj.

August – Osage County
August: Osage
County
is a 2013 American black comedy-drama film written by Tracy Letts and based on his Pulitzer Prize–winning play of the
same name. The film is directed by John
Wells and produced by George
Clooney, Jean Doumanian, Grant Heslov, Steve Traxler, and Bob and Harvey Weinstein.
The ensemble
cast is led by Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, with Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Abigail
Breslin, Juliette Lewis, and Benedict
Cumberbatch in other lead roles.
This movie tells
the dark, hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the
Weston family, whose lives have
diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew
up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.
Streep plays Vy Weston, who along with her husband Beverly raised a house full of daughters. Barbara, played by the savage Julia
Roberts, married and headed for the hills. The more flaky Karen (Juliette Lewis) also left but still desperately seeks her mother’s
approval. Last but not least, there is Ivy
(Julianne Nicholson). She stayed local and took care of her parents, a mother
addicted to pills and a father who drank just to try to deal with the life he’d
built.
Vy is a hateful shrew of a woman, the kind
you’d find it easy to hate, honestly. She belittles those around her, whether
it be the nurse hired to help or her own children. No one is safe from her
biting tongue.
Her daughters haven’t
fared much better - Barbara in an
unhappy marriage, Karen willing to
take any man who came along and Ivy
even more desperate for someone to call her own.
300: Rise of an Empire
300: Rise of an
Empire
is a 2014 American fantasy action film directed by Noam Murro. It is a follow-up to the 2007 film 300, taking place
before, during, and after the events of that film. Zack Snyder, who directed and co-wrote the original film, acts as
writer and producer on Rise of an Empire.
The cast
includes Lena Headey, Rodrigo Santoro,
David Wenham, and Andrew Tiernan reprising
their roles from the first film, alongside Sullivan
Stapleton, Eva Green, Hans Matheson, Callan Mulvey, and Jack O'Connell.
The movie has an
interesting plot. The movie is a theatrical, romanced, highly graphic view of
Greek History under the second Persian invasion of Greece (480–479 BC). It
centers on Themistocles of Athens and Artemisia I of Caria, as well as Xerxes I
of Persia, and Gorgo, Queen of Sparta.[9] The Battle of Artemisium was a naval
engagement, concurrent with the battle of Thermopylae previously displayed in
300, and was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states and the Persian Empire
in September 480 BC, in the straits between the mainland and the northern tip
of the island of Euboea. The film also focuses on the naval Battle of Salamis
(480BC), just south of Athens, in which Artemisia played a major role, as well
as possibly the much earlier Battle of Marathon (490 BC), from the first
Persian invasion of Greece. The Battle of Salamis (home of the mythical hero
Ajax) was fought after the Persian Empire had advanced into southern Greece and
occupied Athens. The film will also cover some of the back story of Xerxes.
