New movies released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Wild

Wild is a 2014 American biographical drama film directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, written by Nick Hornby, and based on Cheryl Strayed's 2012 memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. The film stars Reese Witherspoon as Strayed, alongside Laura Dern (as Strayed's mother), with Thomas Sadoski, Michiel Huisman and Gaby Hoffmann among several others in supporting roles.
The film has an interesting plot. In 1995, Cheryl Strayed decides to hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail alone as a way to heal herself following her divorce, the death of her mother, and years of reckless, destructive behavior.
The film presents a multi-linear narrative, presenting events from Cheryl's hike in chronological order, with frequent flashbacks to earlier points in her life, featuring her (as a child, teenager, and young adult), her mother and brother, her former husband, and other people she has known.

Badlapur

Badlapur is an Indian neo-noir action crime drama film directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Sunil Lulla. The film stars Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles, with Huma Qureshi, Yami Gautam, Divya Dutta and Radhika Apte in supporting roles.
Raghav a.k.a Raghu is a man with a past. He witnessed his wife and son being killed during a robbery. 15 years later, Raghu finds out who pulled the trigger to kill his family and the journey begins.
Badlapur is a dark crime drama with an interesting game of taking action and responsibility, of being able to and not being able to forgive and make sacrifices. The film delivers a top-notch thriller, which shows how a happy man’s life changes into an unstable emotional state, and the twist becomes a part of the formula.
The film has Varun Dhawan as Raghu, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Liak, Huma Qureshi as Jhumli, Yami Gautam as Misha, Vinay Pathak as Harman, Divya Dutta as Shobha and Radhika Apte as Koko.

Qissa is a 2013 Indian-German drama film written and directed by Anup Singh. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival where it won the Netpac Award for World or International Asian Film.

Yet when his fourth daughter is born, he raises her as a boy, Kanwar Singh, who in times becomes a truck driver. However, when Kanwar Singh is married to a girl, Neeli, this gives birth to complications.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a 2014 American drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle based on his experiences in the Princeton High School Studio Band. The film stars Miles Teller as a student jazz drummer who seeks the respect of a fearsome teacher played by J. K. Simmons. It also stars Paul Reiser and Melissa Benoist.

Monsoon

Monsoon is a 2014 Canadian documentary film by Sturla Gunnarsson about the monsoon weather system in India. The film was shot in India in the extra-high-definition 4K format with Red Epic cameras. The film was included in the list of "Canada's Top Ten" feature films of 2014. Subsequently the film finished first in the audience balloting, of the features in "Canada's Top Ten".
From this movie we learn superficially about the vast importance of this annual weather phenomenon to India’s people, agriculture and economy.
Considered “the soul of India,” monsoon season provides the majority of that vast nation’s drinking and farming water. (A minority comes from mountain snow melt.) But while the rain may fall anywhere throughout the subcontinent, it can’t be counted on to fall anywhere in particular — we meet people at a refugee camp who’ve been forced to relocate themselves and their livestock from areas facing a ruinous fourth straight year of drought. Too much rain can also be harmful: Gunnarsson’s favorite interviewee here, 12-year-old Akhila, lives with her family below sea level in the southern state Kerala. When the year brings record rainfall, subsequent flooding is a disaster for their entire village.
We also visit fishermen for whom the storms can greatly increase haul but also endanger their lives. Taking a different kind of risk on monsoon quirks is Bishnu Shastri, a colorful Calcutta bookie who accepts bets on where, when and how much rain will fall. A visit to a wildlife preserve reveals that for hippopotami and other endangered species, the season is dangerous as well. When waters rise, they tend to flee to less-protected, higher-ground areas where poachers await, drawn by the outrageous prices copped by such rare items as rhino-horn powder (an alleged aphrodisiac).
Gunnarsson observes government meteorologists and others charged with predicting the weather as best instinct and science can manage — a premature or false prediction can roil the stock market and cost jobs. Film star Moushumi Chatterjee, who starred in the 1971 hit “Manzil,” swans about discussing the romantic role that monsoons often play in Indian pop culture.
