By Dinesh Kamath
Tera Surroor

Teraa Surroor, previously known as Guns N' Roses is an upcoming Indian film directed by Shawn Arranha. It is the sequel to 2007 film Aap Kaa Surroor.
A sequel to his debut film 'Aap Ka Surror', 'Tera Suroor' is a 'lethal love story' full of romance, vengeance, mystery and doubts. The movie is an “intense” one, which deals with the concept of what extent a person can go for his love. In 'Tera Suroor', Himesh, 42, plays the role of a gangster. The multi-talented actor has roped in veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and director Shekhar Kapur to play lethal characters in the movie. Himesh essays the role of Raghu, who is madly in love with his girlfriend (played by debutante Farah Karimaee) and is on a mission to save her from the Dublin police after she was wrongly framed. Naseer and Shekhar's characters support him in this challenging task.
Thus the film has Himesh Reshammiya as Raghu, Farah Karimaee as Tara, Naseeruddin Shah as Robin "Bird" Dharamraj Santino, Shekhar Kapur as Rajeev Kaul, Monica Dogra as Elle Jardan, Kabir Bedi as AA Khan, Shernaz Patel, Suneel Dutt, Graham Molloy, Ann Marie O'Connor, Richard O'Leary and Warren Renwick.
The soundtrack of Teraa Surroor is composed by Himesh Reshammiya himself. The film has songs like "Main Woh Chaand", "Bekhudi", "Wafa Ne Bewafai", "Teri Yaad", "Adhuri Zindagi", "Ishq Samundar (Reloaded)", "Teri Yaad (Reprise)"and "Teraa Surroor (Mashup)".

Global Baba

Global Baba is a Bollywood film based on spiritual babas of India. India can arguably be named the land of the babas, with thousands of devotees blindly surrendering themselves to godmen. The idea behind Global Baba is to expose such babas is in the offing. Abhimanyu Singh plays a godman in the movie.
Global Baba is a social-satire, which through an extremely interesting and entertaining series of story-events lays forth before us some of the treacherous ways through which a lot of con-men in the guise of religious gurus wins blind faiths of gullible masses. It is also a deft & realistically crafted political thriller, which exposes the infamous nexus of religion and politics. Global Baba, tells the story of Chillam Pehelwan, a seasoned criminal who after losing protection of his political bosses, takes refuge in the world of religion. Within no time Chillam Pehelwan as Global Baba manages to attract such a massive following of blind devotees that he becomes almost invincible & uncontrollable for anyone daring to challenge his insatiable greed for power. The rational minded and ethical thinking minority of his opponents, gets a chance to contain this monster of a monk only when he plans to step out from the sensitive & secure domain of religion to the domain of electoral politics. How these handful of right thinking people stage a brilliant charade to expose the true face of this Godzilla of a God-man, makes a thoroughly entertaining and a thrilling climax to the story of Global Baba.
The film has Abhimanyu Singh as Chillam Pehlwaan/ Global Baba, Pankaj Tripathi as Damru, Ravi Kishan as Jacob, Sandeepa Dhar as Bhavana Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra as Dallu Yadav and Sanjay Mishra as Bhola Pandit

Triple 9

Triple 9 is a 2016 American crime thriller drama film directed by John Hillcoat and written by Matt Cook.

A crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist and the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down.” Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck action-packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.

The Program

The Program (working title Icon) is a 2015 British-French biographical drama film about Lance Armstrong directed by Stephen Frears, starring Ben Foster as Armstrong and Chris O'Dowd as journalist David Walsh. The film is based on Walsh's book Seven Deadly Sins.
The world needs heroes and Lance Armstrong (Ben Foster) was the ultimate sporting hero. Following a gruelling battle with cancer, Lance returned to his cycling career in 1999 more determined than ever and with his sights set firmly on winning the Tour de France. With the help of the infamous Italian physician Michele Ferrari and team director Johan Bruyneel, he developed the most sophisticated doping program in the history of the sport. This program allowed Lance and his American teammates to dominate the world of cycling, winning the Tour an unprecedented seven times. However not everyone believed the fairytale. Sunday Times journalist, David Walsh (Chris O'Dowd), at first charmed by Lance’s charisma and talent, soon began to question whether the ‘world’s greatest athlete’ was ‘clean’. Walsh sought to unveil the truth, his ensuing battle with Armstrong risked his own career, ostracised him from the cycling community and cost his paper, The Sunday Times, hundreds of thousands in legal costs. But the indefatigable Walsh eventually uncovered the truth when a select few prepared to talk came forward, exposing one of the greatest deceptions of our time.

Amy

Amy (promoted as Amy: The Girl Behind the Name) is a 2015 British documentary film that depicts the life and death of British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, directed by Asif Kapadia. Produced by Krishwerkz Entertainment, On The Corner Films, Playmaker Films, and Universal Music, the film is distributed by the Altitude Film Distribution and associated with Film 4. The film depicts Winehouse's life largely from the standpoint of her struggle with substance abuse problems both before and after her career began to blossom, and which eventually caused her premature death.
Amy tells the story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse – in her own words. A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse was a musician that captured the world’s attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense – she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyze her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of the modern era. Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.

Race

Race is a 2016 German-American biographical sports drama film. It is the second feature biopic film about African American athlete Jesse Owens, who won a record-breaking four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Directed by Stephen Hopkins and written by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, the film stars Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Irons, William Hurt, and Carice van Houten.
The movie has an interesting story. Jesse Owens' quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 post-apocalyptic action film directed and produced by George Miller, and written by Miller, Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. The fourth instalment in the Mad Max franchise, it is an Australian and American venture produced by Kennedy Miller Mitchell, RatPac-Dune Entertainment and Village Roadshow Pictures. The film is set in a future desert wasteland where gasoline and water are scarce commodities. It follows Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), who joins forces with Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to flee from cult leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and his army in an armoured tanker truck, which leads to a lengthy road battle. The film also features Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee, and Courtney Eaton.

Thus in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and everyone is fighting for the necessities of life, there are two rebels who just might be able to restore order—Max (Tom Hardy), a man of action and few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos, and Furiosa (Charlize Theron), a woman of action who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.
