Darr @ the Mall
Darr @ the Mall is a horror
film directed by Ragini MMS fame director Pavan
Kirpalani. The film features Jimmy
Shergill and Nushrat Bharucha in
the lead roles. The film revolves around Jimmy
Shergill who plays the role of a security guard of the mall. The film is
presented and produced by Multi Screen
Media (MSM) and Contiloe
Entertainment.
The movie has an
interesting story. Asia's largest mall is ready for inauguration, although
there's a myth surrounding the mall. Over the period of its construction people
have started labeling it as Haunted Mall. The legend has it that the mall is
haunted with the presence of a 'chudail'. Some say it’s a typical white saree
white hair ghost, others say it's a woman with overturned feet. The fact is no
one has seen her personally. Yet the fear is unquestionable.
On the opening
eve the owner of the mall, Mr. Manchanda
calls a press conference and to dispel the fears announces that he would spend
a night at the Mall with the board of directors. The news is flashed around
town. Manchanda and his cronies step
into the Mall to spend a night and this to Manchanda
is a big business strategy. Manchanda
and group are not the only ones to be inside the Mall this night. Manchanda’s daughter Ahana and her junky friends make their
way inside, as does 24 year old Vishnu,
the chief of security at the Mall who has a past that haunts him.
Facts come clear
only by the end when circumstances throw Vishnu,
Manchanda and Ahana together.
Their stories connect and lead to a mysterious past. The Mall is a spine
chilling tale of one night and an encounter with the past.

Battle of the Damned
Battle of the
Damned
is a 2013 American action, sci-fi film directed by Christopher Hatton, and starring Dolph Lundgren. Following a deadly viral outbreak, private soldier Max Gatling (Lundgren) leads a handful of survivors and a team of robots in a
fight against an army of the dead.
This time Lundgren is up against virus-infected
human zombies, 'Eaters' as we call them. Max
is sent into an infected, abandoned city to find the daughter of a rich
industrialist. He gets more than he bargained for. He then enlists some
kick-ass, run-away robots to help him in the battle.
In various
South-East Asian countries, different corporations are able to work on projects
that their home countries would frown upon. At some point in the near future
one such project is accidentally released during its production; a lethal
pathogen that basically turns people into zombies. This region of the Earth is
cut off from the rest of the world.
Aside from the
occasional military unit dropping in for a mission from time to time there is
no contact with any possible survivors. Max
Gatling, played by Dolph Lundgren,
is one soldier dropped into “Hell” with his unit on a random mission. After his
team leaves, Max must fight his way
through the infected hordes and save the kid of the head of the corporation
responsible for the virus. In other words, he’s the only man for the job and he
has to save the President’s daughter and also the robots.
Gang of Ghosts
Gang of Ghosts is a Hindi
paranormal comedy film, produced by Venus
Records & Tapes Pvt Ltd and The
Satish Kaushik Entertainment, directed by well known Actor/Director Satish Kaushik. It is a remake of
Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat.
The film has an
interesting plot. The story is about a haunted house which is being pulled down
and being replaced with a swanky shopping mall. Apparently, the ghosts who
belong to different era consider this as their home so what happens later on
shapes the rest of the story.
The grand old
mansions and mills of South Mumbai are being razed to the ground to make way
for swanky condominiums, malls and Multiplexes. Some of these dilapidated
disputed buildings were haunted by Ghosts who had taken shelter there over
centuries. They were evicted and are homeless today. There is no rehabilitation
package on offer. Politicians, media, intellectuals, civic society - no one
gives a dam to them. After all, Ghosts can't vote.
Royal Mansion is
one such heritage property which is rented out for film shoots to facilitate
its maintenance. A heroine faints during a shooting allegedly sighting Ghost in
a mirror. A filmmaker on a reconnaissance trip to the building gets to hear of
a spooky story revolving around the house. But is it just a tall tale or is
there a twist in the 'tail'?
The film has song
and dance, drama, romance, action and even an item number. It has all the filmi
masala as well as some food for thought.
The actors of
the film are Sharman Joshi as writer,
Mahi Gill as Manoranjana Kumari, Anupam
Kher as Gendamal, Parambrata Chatterjee as director, Meera Chopra as a rich girl, J. Brandon Hill as Mr Ramsey, Rajesh Khattar as builder, Saurabh
Shukla as Bengali, Rajpal Yadav as cook, Yashpal Sharma as Brigadier, Vijay Verma as musician, Chunky Pandey, Jackie Shroff as Don, Asrani as Atmaram and Paoli Dam
and Aniruddh Dave in guest
appearance.

Archives program, tasked with finding and saving pieces of art and other
culturally important items before their destruction by Hitler during World War
II.

promising: a ragtag team of misfits from Europe and America, united by a shared
love of art, sent into the field of battle to stop the Nazis plundering and/or
destroying the fruits of human culture – paintings, books, sculptures, icons
etc. The message is clear – fight people and they fight back; destroy their
culture and they cease to exist

They are about to get married in four days. Suddenly, her life is swung away
from the brocade and jewellery of marriage to the harsh brutality of abduction.
Her life will never be the same again.
The same night, the gang is in panic. The girl
is a big industrialist’s daughter. His links in the corridors of power make
ransom out of the question. They are doomed. But the leader of this group is
adamant. For him sending her back is not an option. He will do whatever it
takes to see this through. But as the days pass by, the scenery changes, the
light changes, the sun sets and rises and the air changes, she feels that she
has changed as well.
Gradually, a
strange bond begins to develop between the victim and the oppressor. It is in
this captivity that she, for the first time, feels free. She does not want to
go back but she also doesn't want to reach where he is taking her. She wishes
this journey to never end. Maybe the Highway will not really change her. Maybe
this feeling is just a passing phase. Maybe not. In the end, Alia is fabulous!
