New movies released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Sui Dhaaga - Made In India


Sui Dhaaga (transl. Needle and thread;) is an Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film directed by Sharat Katariya and produced by Maneesh Sharma under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It stars Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles.
The movie is a heart-warming story of pride and self-reliance, rooted in the heart of India. Sui Dhaaga - Made in India recounts the journey of an honest man, who rises from his humble beginnings to become a celebrated social entrepreneur. A heartwarming story of pride, perseverance and self-reliance, the film talks about the need of social entrepreneurship as a tool for the social and economic development of our artisans, who are living their life on the margins due to the changing times. It’s a heartwarming countryside drama about jovial simpleton Mauji (Sharma) and his meek-but-enterprising wife Mamta (Sharma) and their obstacle-filled quest to set up their own tailoring business. Sui Dhaaga is your typical utopian Disney or Pixar film for the grown-ups where the underdogs and the triumph of the human spirit will be celebrated at all costs. Sharma and Dhawan play a timid couple who live in a joint family in the small town of Chanderi. They have been married for a while, but have never found the time to discover each other. But there’s no drama around it. Money is tight in their household and daring to dream can cost them heavily. From the outset, we are told that turning into an entrepreneur brings you doom as Mauji’s grandfather had gone bust in his tailoring business. His failure still shapes their cash-starved present and naturally they side with pragmatism than start-up dreams. But the seemingly meek Mamta nudges her jolly husband to leave his conventional menial job where he’s treated like a pushover to earn some dignity in his daily life.
The film has Varun Dhawan as Mauji, a tailor, Anushka Sharma as Mamta, an embroiderer and Raghubir Yadav as Mauji's father.
The songs of the film are composed by Anu Malik while lyrics are written by Varun Grover. The film has songs like "Chaav Laaga"          sung by Papon, Ronkini Gupta, "Khatar Patar" by Papon, "Tu Hi Aham" by Ronkini Gupta, "Sui Dhaaga" by Divya Kumar and "Sab Badhiya Hai" by Sukhwinder Singh, Salman Ali.

Pihu

Being a toddler, she is occasionally trapped in the accidental situations. Circumstances lead to this 2 year old girl 'Pihu' being left alone in an apartment. What ensues, makes for an edge of the seat social thriller, based on a true story which is sure to blow your mind.

Pataakha

Pataakha (transl. Firecracker;) is an Indian Hindi comedy-drama film directed by Vishal Bhardwaj about two sisters who share a difficult relationship with each other. Based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story titled Do Behnein, the film features Sanya Malhotra, debutant Radhika Madan, Sunil Grover, Saanand Verma and Vijay Raaz in lead roles.
Based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story, Do Behnein, it revolves around two sisters, Badki and Chhutki who grow up in a small village in Rajasthan and are constantly at war but when marriage separates them, they realise they can't seem to live with or without each other. This is the story of a raucous rivalry, of duelling sticks of dynamite who steal each other’s stolen beedis and spark each other’s fuses. Fuelled by fury, they are either on the warpath or standing by, demanding to be offended. These are perpetually flammable girls with tongues sharp and savage. One wants to go to school so she can open one of her own, the other wants to stay out of school and start her own dairy. They’re willing to battle hard for their ambitions. They are the two most wanted women in the village, made eligible because of their headstrong pluck. They meet their suitors by first physically overpowering them, and then relent. They choose to enjoy the first flush of rural romance, courted against the backdrop of motorcycling daredevils and lassi stores. The heart bleeds for the girls’ hapless father, stranded in no man’s land. The great Vijay Raaz plays this father of the nation with a defeated dignity.
The film has Sanya Malhotra as Genda 'Chhutki' Kumari, Radhika Madan as Champa 'Badki' Kumari, Sunil Grover as Dipper Naradmuni, Vijay Raaz as Bechara Bapu, Saanand Verma as Tharki Patel, Namit Das, Abhishek Duhan and Malaika Arora (special appearance in song "Hello Hello")
The music of the film has been composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, while the lyrics have been written by Gulzar. The film has songs like "Balma" sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, Sunidhi Chauhan, "Pataakha" by Vishal Bhardwaj, "Hello Hello" by Rekha Bhardwaj, "Naina Banjare" by Arijit Singh and "Gali Gali" by Sukhwinder Singh.

Rashtraputra

Rashtraputra is a film written and directed by Aazaad and produced by Rajnarayan Dube.
The film has Aazaad playing Aazaad, Rakesh Bedi as Dr. Daruwala, Abhay Bhargav as Commissioner, Manish Chaudhary as Nepali, Alpesh Dhakan as Bunty, Zakir Hussain as          Satbir, Achint Kaur as Vinita Singhania, Jamie Lever as Jenny, Raza Murad as Sultan Bhai, Deep Raj Rana as Police Inspector Tyaagi, Ruhi Singh          as Riya Singhaniya, Atul Srivastava     as Mamaji, Aryan Vaid  as Bhagat Singh and Vivek Vaswani as Dilip Singhania.
The singers in the film are Aazaad, Ash King, Bappi Lahiri, Palak Muchhal and Mika Singh.
Based on the life of the first commander of the surgical strikes Chandrashekhar Azad, Rashtraputra showcases the reality, lesser known facts, and thoughts of India's greatest revolutionary. This is the first film in history of Indian cinema which will give insights about life and times of Chandrashekhar Azad. His thoughts were like the flames of fire and acts were deadly blasts. The forgotten hero will return back from the darkness, created by selfish politics to the silver screen as the daring and dynamic protagonist of all time created by Aazaad.The nationalistic flavor - colour - nature combination of the movie is a continuation of what he has been portraying in his earlier movies. While his earlier movies had element of nationalism, our film "Rashtraputra" will showcase the reality, the lesser known facts of the greatest revolutionary, Chandrashekhar Azad. Azad was not only the commander - in - chief of Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA) but an unmatched mentor, friend - philosopher - guide of over two thousand and five hundred revolutionaries of HSRA like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Bhagwaticharan Vohra, Durga Bhabhi, etc. In the true sense of meaning Chandrashekhar Azad was the supreme force of the bloodstained revolutionary freedom movement of India. In this film Azad is shown as a timeless cinematic creation. He was, He is and he will be the relevant hero of all time. Time changes but the problems remain the same in different looks. What would Azad do, how he would react if he was alive today? He would be the same motivational force for today's youth as he was in his lifetime. Rashtraputra can be described as a great motivational movie with high voltage drama and entertainment values for the youth as well as the enlightened audience of twenty first century. Rashtraputra  will be released globally in 26 National and Foreign Languages. The sole reason behind this ideology is to create truthful awareness of the greatest revolutionary Chandrashekar Azad in the world.
