New movie-releases in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Kochadaiiyan: The Legend

Kochadaiiyaan (English: The king with a long, curly mane) is a 2014 Indian Tamil motion 3D computer-animated period film directed by Soundarya R. Ashwin and written by K. S. Ravikumar. The film will feature Rajinikanth enacting and voicing three lead roles, whilst R. Sarathkumar, Aadhi, Deepika Padukone, Shobana, Rukmini Vijayakumar, Jackie Shroff, and Nassar enact and voice supporting characters. The film has cinematography handled by Rajiv Menon whilst background score and soundtrack is composed by A. R. Rahman.
Kochadaiiyaan has Rajinikanth cast as the archetypal superhero in the epic dramatisation of good versus evil. He performs a double role with Deepika being paired opposite the younger character.
Kochadaiiyaan is a very power packed film with strong script and performances by the star cast. Also the spice added up by Deepika Padukone is just like icing on the cake. Superstar Rajnikanth in duel role as Kochadaiiyaan and as Rana is great. Kochadaiiyaan is father, a very powerful and intelligent emperor, while the Rana is a son of Kochadaiiyaan, but he is very short tempered. The story of Kochadaiiyaan is all about father and son and how they fight against their enemies.
Thus the film has Rajinikanth as Kochadaiiyaan, Rana and Sena, R. Sarathkumar as Sengodagan, Deepika Padukone as Princess Vadhana, Shobana as Yaahavi, Aadhi as Veera Mahendra, Jackie Shroff as Raja Mahendra, Nassar as Rishikodagan and Rukmini Vijayakumar as Yamuna.
Late actor Nagesh's likeness was also used in the film, by means of a 3D model, created using high-resolution images of him. Actors who sound like him were hired to voice his character while those who had a similar appearance to his, performed the character's performance capture scenes.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men: Days of Future Past is a 2014 superhero film, based on the fictional X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics and on the 1981 Uncanny X-Men storyline "Days of Future Past" by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. Directed by Bryan Singer and distributed by 20th Century Fox, it is the seventh film in the X-Men film series and the third X-Men film directed by Singer after 2000's X-Men and 2003's X2. It stars an ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Nicholas Hoult, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. The story is written by Simon Kinberg, Matthew Vaughn, and Jane Goldman, with Kinberg writing the screenplay.
Days of Future Past acts as a sequel to both 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand and 2011's X-Men: First Class.
The X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.
In the continuation of X-Men: First Class, the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier are deep in a battle with Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In the future timeline, however, Mystique and company, having managed to kill Senator Robert Kelly have caused chaos and utter mayhem through their actions.
Due to these specific actions of Mystique and the Brotherhood, the future of mutants is bleak. In the future timeline, Sentinels rule the United States and mutants are forced into internment camps.
The current X-Men, however, are forewarned by a future version of Kitty Pryde, who has managed to force her mind back to her present-day self. Having succeeded in her mission, Kitty Pryde returns to her own timeline in the future.
The crux of the mission is such that the future is now an alternative timeline which could very well still happen. Thus, it is up to the current crop of X-Men to either defeat the Brotherhood of Mutants or convince them that their actions will have horrific ramifications for all of them.

Heropanti

Heropanti is a Bollywood film, marking the debut of Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon in lead roles alongside Sandeepa Dhar in a pivotal role. It will be the debut movie for 21 of the actors.
The film is be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Sabbir Khan. The movie is remake of a Telugu movie Parugu starring Allu Arjun. The soundtrack for the movie has been composed by Sajid-Wajid.
Heropanti is a romantic-action movie. The movie has newcomers Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon playing lovers fighting warring clans. The title 'Heropanti' came from the character of the boy that Tiger plays in the movie.
The character of Tiger is little above the ordinary. In normal life, we all follow the set norms and rules. We do not move out of the box but Tiger is someone who is flamboyant and does what he wants to. Rising from present India in the conflicting era of shining modernity and deep-rooted archaic traditions, in the era of big city versus small towns, comes a love story sealed with an impossible fate. Thus the movie narrates the story of the bold Bablu and the bratty Dimpy.
The film has Tiger Shroff as Bablu, Kriti Sanon as Dimpy, Sandeepa Dhar as Renu, Vikram Singh as Rajjo Fauji, Shireesh Sharma as Police Commissioner and Samar Jai Singh as Bhuppi.

The soundtrack is composed by Sajid Wajid with Manj Musik as guest composer. The film has songs like Whistle Baja, Rabba, Raat Bhar, Tabah, "The Pappi Song" Raftaar, Tere Binaa and Tabah (Remix).
