The movie narrates the story about the triumph of love for the country over attachments for a loved one. This story is about the relationship between grandfather and his grandson. And to our surprise this story is narrated to the Grandson (2014) by the Grandson (1947) who has now become Grandfather.
Morgaon, a laidback hamlet is the canvas of this story and the tale begins to unfold just six days before Independence. Communication during this time was equivalent to zero. Villagers used to receive news after 8-9 days.
Story mainly revolves around Dajji (Dilip Prabhavalkar) and his grandson, Govind (Nishant Bhavsar). Also you will see Usman Chacha (Yatin Karyekar), Bappu Patil (Ashok Samarth), Sandhya (Mrunal Thakur) and many more. This story is narrated by Grandfather (Ravindra Mankani) to his grandson (Shubhankar Atre).

The Equalizer

The Equalizer is a 2014 American action thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by Richard Wenk, based on the television series of the same name. It stars Denzel Washington, Chloë Grace Moretz, Marton Csokas, David Harbour, Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo.
The film narrates the tale of a man with a very particular set of skills who decides to balance injustice and exploitation by unflinchingly engaging in acts of brutal violence.
Washington plays Robert McCall, whose quiet life as a manager in a big hardware store is interrupted when Slavi (David Meunier), a goon who works for the Russian Mafia Pushkin, beat up a teenage prostitute Alina (Chloe Grace Moretz) whom McCall had befriended as a fellow late-night diner at a 24-hour restaurant.
Incensed, he sets on a path to deliver justice for Alina. With wits and weapons, he kills Salvi and his goons. The media reports this as a turf-war massacre, so Pushkin dispatches his most trusted and fearsome assistant; a demonically tattooed man named Teddy (Marton Csokas) to settle scores and mark territories.
Meanwhile, McCall enjoys the peevishness and righteousness of hunting down sociopaths and fighting sardonic demons that include the Russian crime syndicate. But the crux of the film pivots on his cat and mouse chase with Teddy.

Dumb and Dumber Too

Dumb and Dumber To is a 2014 American comedy film co-written and directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly, and is a direct sequel to their 1994 film Dumb and Dumber. The film stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, reprising their roles 20 years after the events of the first film, and also features Laurie Holden and Kathleen Turner.
The film tells the story of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne (played by Carrey and Daniels, respectively), who set out on a cross country trip to find Harry's daughter who had been adopted and Lloyd’s in love again.
The movie revisits the titular duo of dumb Harry (Daniels) and dumber Lloyd (Carrey), 20 years after the events of the first film: Harry pays his first visit to his parents since the early '90s, and discovers a two-decade-old postcard from a gal he hooked up with (Kathleen Turner) informing him that she's pregnant. It turns out she had a daughter and put the girl up for adoption. Harry is moved by the prospect of having an adult child out there somewhere (and it just so happens that he needs a kidney transplant), so he and Lloyd embark on a road trip to track down his daughter. They get mixed up in many wacky situations along the way, like finding and stealing their old "Shaggin' Wagon," and being duped into pleasuring an old lady in exchange for her hearing aids.

Titoo MBA

Titoo MBA is a Hindi film directed by Amit Vats and produced by Rajan Batra and Mayank Patel in association with Beatrix Entertainment. The film stars Nishant Dahiya and Pragya Jaiswal in principal roles.
Titoo (Takhat Singh Gill) is your average Chandigarh boy with big dreams of becoming a businessman. But as usual, destiny plays spoilsport and nothing works out for Titoo. Added to that is his heavy debts that force him to take up a completely weird and unexpected career. In the midst of this financial mess, Titoo is married off to Gulshan Kaur Grover from Jalandhar following an elaborate arranged marriage. He leads a double life for a while and tries his best to hide his embarrassing secret from his newlywed wife. But as fate would have it, she finds out all about Titoo’s alternate career and the poor fellow’s life flips upside down once again.
