Action Jackson
Action Jackson is a 2014 Indian
action comedy film directed by Prabhudeva
and produced by Vic Walia and Sunil Lulla. The film features Ajay Devgan in the title role,
alongside Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam,
Manasvi Mamgai, and Anand Raj.
The story begins with a series of combats between local
gangster Vishi (Devgn) and a few scruffy looking villains. The baddies want him,
cops want him too.
We are told why he’s being chased so relentlessly by
every unwashed ruffian out there after an hour into the film. Vishi operates an empire built on
unscrupulous deeds. Even a deadly-looking mobster from South East Asia is out
for his blood. Vishi meets Khushi, played by Sonakshi Sinha. She’s a klutz who’s so clumsy that she never
reaches work on time because she’s either stumbling over potholes or running
out of petrol in her bike. But her misfortunes are magically reversed when she
runs into Vishi in a dressing room at
a mall. He’s semi-clad and she’s convinced that seeing him naked brought her
good luck. Vishi thus earns one more
stalker in his life. She plots ways to see him without his pants on and several
songs-cum-flirtatious exchanges later, they realise that they are in love. The
action thriller morphs into a syrupy love story.
The second half of the film takes you into the world of AJ, the right hand man of Xavier (Anand Raj) — a mafia kingpin. Things were merry between them until Xavier’s drug-snorting sister Marina falls in love with AJ. Played by former model Manasvi Mamgai, she is pure evil with
chronic anger management issues and zero tolerance to rejection by males. Once
she’s spurned by AJ, all hell breaks
looks as she unleashes her wrath on him and his girlfriend (Yami Gautam). She’s the kind of woman
who kicks her bodyguard with her stiletto-shod feet and they hurtle off a
skyscraper. The movie then moves towards an interesting climax.
The film has Ajay
Devgn as Action Jackson (AJ), Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam, Kunaal Roy
Kapur, Manasvi Mamgai, Anand Raj, Sonu Sood, Prabhu Deva (cameo), Shahid Kapoor (cameo) and Salman Khan (cameo).

Exodus – Gods and Kings
The film Exodus – Gods and Kings is directed
by Ridley Scott and the two lead
actors of the film are Joel Edgerton
and Christian Bale. Here the story
of Moses is adapted for the big
screen.
Following the trend of religious movie comes Exodus
which is the name of the second book in the bible and it gives an account of Moses leading the Israelite slaves to
freedom from Egypt. Christian Bale
plays Moses, Joel Edgeton plays the pharaoh
Rhamses, Aaron Paul as Joshua and Sigourney Weaver as Tyua.
Director and Co-Writer Ridley Scott
uses a state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion to bring this story to
life.
Director Ridley
Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings forgoes the usual “baby in a basket”
start to Moses’ story, beginning
instead with him as a general in Pharaoh
Seti’s (John Turturro) army and
devoted figurative brother to heir Ramses
(Joel Edgerton). This Moses is initially skeptical of
religion, and also not overly concerned with the plight of the Hebrews (but
he’s still more sympathetic to their treatment than anyone else in his Egyptian
circle).
It's not until an elder, Nun (Sir Ben Kingsley), secretly reveals to Moses that he is in fact a Hebrew that he slowly, reluctantly
starts to accept his true identity. Banished by Ramses, Moses wanders through the desert until he arrives in a
village where he meets Zipporah (the
fetching María Valverde in an
underwritten role), who eventually becomes his wife.
The film then jumps ahead several years to find Moses now a husband, father, and
shepherd. When an accident leads him to a fateful encounter with God –
channeled here as a mercurial little boy/messenger named Malak (a commanding Isaac
Andrews) – Moses starts to behave
erratically, his very concept of what’s true and what isn’t shaken to its core.
He ultimately accepts his mission to deliver the Hebrews from bondage, which
leads to devastating consequences for the Egyptians in the form of God’s
vengeful Ten Plagues. Pharaoh Ramses,
who believes himself a god, refuses to negotiate with Moses or to accept the will of the Hebrew God, leading to even more
calamity for Ramses’ people.
This is where I leave you
This Is Where I Leave You is a 2014
American comedy-drama film directed by Shawn
Levy. It is based on the book of the same name by Jonathan Tropper, who also wrote the film's screenplay.
The movie has an interesting story. When their father
passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective
adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the
same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an
assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and
the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love
them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting
ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can
provide — driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often
best, selves.
Bhopal: A prayer for rain
Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain is an
historical-drama film set amidst the real-life Bhopal disaster that had
occurred in India on December 2–3, 1984. Martin

Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain depicts
events leading to the biggest man-made industrial disaster in history, which
killed as many as 10,000 people in a single night. The movie is a narration of

job at the Union Carbide plant. The job is tough and risky with long hours, but
everyone wants to hold on to their pay cheque and so Dilip keeps quiet when he notices managers at the plant ignoring
safety standards. The negligence at Union Carbide led to the leakage of methyl
isocyanate which killed thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people still
suffer from illnesses caused by the exposure to this gas.

Barton as Eva Gascon, a Paris

In this slacker bro-mantic comedy, writing partners Dulal and Mainak dream of shaking up the Bollywood film industry in India
with their script “Sulemani Keeda” (Hindi street slang for “Pain in the Ass”). When
they’re being rejected by producers who refuse to read their script, they lurk
around bookstores and poetry slams shamelessly hitting on girls. They find some
hope when the drug addled, cat-obsessed Gonzo
Kapoor, the son of a famous B movie producer, hires them to write an art
house film billed as “Tarkovsky with orgies” for his directorial debut. All
seems well until Dulal meets Ruma, a beautiful photographer who makes
him question his choice to sell out.
