New movie-releases in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke

Actor Dev Goel debuts in his father Jyotin Goel's production, Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke, a comic love story opposite actress Adah Sharma. The film also stars actors Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Dutt playing the roles of a doctor and a policeman. Other actors in the film include Anupam Kher, Chunky Pandey and Rati Agnihotri. In the story, the best friends set out on a long drive from Mumbai to Pune. But a series of circumstances make the journey much longer than it usually takes, and along the way, cupid strikes.
Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke is a comic misadventure love story. It has a series of comic misadventures, pulse-stopping action and just plain lunacy which make a routine journey into an unforgettable barrel of laughs and an experience of a lifetime.
To be more clear, the film is the story of two best friends who on one New Year's night decide to travel from Mumbai to Pune. But a trip that should only take a couple of hours ends up becoming an all-nighter, with whacky events keeping them on the road and preventing them from reaching their destination. In the end they realize they love each other, but all the way it’s more of a friends’ fun trip.

Fast & Furious 6

Fast & Furious 6 (alternatively known as Fast Six or Furious Six) is a 2013 action film written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin. It is the sixth installment in the Fast and the Furious film series. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Chris Bridges, Luke Evans, Gina Carano, and John Ortiz.
Fast & Furious 6 follows a professional criminal gang led by Dominic Toretto (Diesel) who have retired following their successful heist in Fast Five (2011), but remain wanted fugitives. U.S. Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) offers to clear the group's criminal records and allow them to return home in exchange for helping him to take down a skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw (Evans) and his second in command, Dominic's presumed-dead lover Letty Ortiz (Rodriguez).
To repeat the same story in other words, since Dom (Diesel) and Brians (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpins empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the land has left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

Zindagi 50-50

Zindagi 50-50 is a 2013 Bollywood film which is directed by Rajiv S. Ruia. This film is dubbed in Tamil titled Mutham Thara Vaa.
Zindagi 50-50 revolves around three different stories. Zindagi means Life… Sometimes it’s fun, and sometimes it’s a curse… but it’s just a point of view. People pray to god for happiness, so that they can enjoy their life. But the God says that he had already given a life to them, to enjoy all the happiness. Zindagi 50:50 is a story of Rupa (A Housewife), Madhuri (Prostitute) and Nainja (A Struggling Actress).
Rupa’s husband, Birju (Auto Driver) has a dream of getting a house. To fulfill his dream, Rupa breaks all the limits of her life. To complete her dream of house, CR Lele (Government Servant) pushes her in a dark side of her life, where she gets the house, but also gets a smirch on her respect.
And Madhuri, who had already broken all the limits of society… later, realizes that life is lived on the basis of needs not by the desires, like a beggar can fulfill his needs, but sometimes kings are also unable to complete their desires.
Naina, who’s a Junior Artist, having big dreams in her life, but the truth of Film industry shows her the reality of life that “kabhi kisi ko mukkamal jahaan nahin milta”.
Thus Zindagi 50:50 is a story of special dreams of a common man. And to fulfill those dreams, he has to struggle a lot, but sometimes he gets it easily and sometime he has to lose everything. Zindagi 50:50 is everything about losing and gaining.
The film has Veena Malik as Madhuri, Riya Sen as Naina, Rajan Verma as Birju, Arya Babbar as Addy, Supriya Kumari as Rupa, Rajpal Yadav as PK Lele, Murli Sharma as INS Pawar, Atul Parchure as Mota and Adi Irani
The music for Zindagi 50-50 is given by Amjad Nadeem and Vivek Kar. The film has songs like Zindagi 50-50 (Title track) sung by Bappi Lahiri, Antara Mitra and Gufy, Tu Saamne jo aaye by Mika Singh, Sadde Naal aaja by Manak-E, Neha Batra and Gufy, Toh se naina by Rekha Bhardwaj, Rabba by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Delhi Delhi by Dev Negi.       

Doraemon Nobita Aur Jadooi Tapu

Doraemon Nobita Aur Jadooi Tapu has an interesting story. Nobita catches a big rhinoceros beetle, which he promises to his dad to take good care of it. Later, Doraemon's group finds a strange island where a tribe co exists with prehistoric that was thought to be completely extinct. They find that a mythical beetle God, Golden Heraklex, was protecting this island, giving it the powers to sustain the life of prehistoric species. Yet, the group has to deal with a group of criminals from the future, who wants to possess Heraklex for money and power.
You can count on the Japanese to design a character that appeals to all demographics. Doraemon is just the perfect creation to appeal to boys and girls. He is a futuristic cat with more than a bagful of fantastic gadgets springing out from his pouch.
Watching this Doraemon movie is like taking a nostalgia trip down memory lane to meet up with familiar friends, only that the friends have been frozen in time and didn't age at all - they're still very much the school going children when we left off.

Thus the film is like the typical television episode which would have Nobita running into trouble, and coaxing Doraemon to bail him out, more often than not featuring one of the countless gadgets that get introduced one episode at a time.
