Phantom
Phantom is an Indian action-thriller film directed by
Kabir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Siddharth Roy Kapur starring
Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif in leading roles. The screenplay of the film has
been written in coordination with author Hussain Zaidi's book Mumbai Avengers
on the aftermath of 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The film Phantom is an adaptation of
journalist-turned-author S. Hussain Zaidi's best seller 'Mumbai Avengers'. The
film mirrors the prickly issue of cross-border terrorism, which has affected
India for decades now. The film starts off with the visuals of the 26/11 Mumbai
attack. This is immediately followed by a high octane car chase sequence
between Daniyal Khan (Saif Ali Khan) and an unknown man in Chicago (US) who
bangs his car and tries to drive away. Daniyal finally gets hold of him but
accidentally kicks him off the bridge into the river below. This, then, leads
to an array of flashback events, which establishes the connection between
Daniyal Khan's past to his present day life. The flashback states that, after
being dismissed from the Indian army, Daniyal goes into a hibernation of sorts,
living an isolated and secluded life of his own. In the meanwhile, when India's
RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) learns about Pakistan based terrorist group
Lashkar's yet another plan of attacking India, they plan a secret operation,
off the books, to take down all the accused and masterminds behind Mumbai
attacks. After much research they decided on hiring Daniyal Khan for this job.
The RAW officials believe that Khan is like 'Phantom', he has no records and is
completely off the radar. As a part of the mission, he meets up with the
beautiful and talented Nawaz (Katrina Kaif) in UK where she works as a
'Security Consultant'. The duo, however, gel well after Daniyal's first two
missions in UK and US. Thereafter this duo's journey traverses from Beirut,
Syria and finally Pakistan. Even though Daniyal Khan's mission happens to be a
'top secret' and 'highly confidential' one, the Pakistani officials sniff out
his plan before Daniyal Khan reaches his ultimate goal of killing Hariz Saeed
(Shahnawaz Pradhan), the mastermind behind the 26/11 attacks. Does Daniyal Khan
become successful in his life threatening mission, why does Nawaz help him in
his mission, are Pakistani authorities able to catch hold of Daniyal Khan are
the questions answered in the rest of the story.
The film has Saif Ali Khan as Daniyal Khan, Katrina Kaif
as Nawaz Mistry, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Rajesh Tailang
and Qazi Touqeer (in Afghan Jalebi (Ya Baba) song)
The soundtrack of the film is composed by Pritam,Komail
Shayan (KK) while lyrics are by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Kausar Munir. The film
has songs like "Afghan Jalebi (Ya Baba)", "Saware", "Nachda",
"Afghan Jalebi (Film Version)", "Afghan Jalebi (Dumbek
Version)" and "Ya Baba (Fitna Farebi)".

No Escape
No Escape is a 2015 American action thriller film
directed by John Erick Dowdle, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother,
Drew Dowdle. The film stars Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, and Pierce Brosnan, and
tells the story of a businessman trapped with his family in a war zone.
In their new overseas home in Southeast Asia, an American
family finds themselves caught in the middle of a coup, and they frantically
look for a safe escape in an environment where foreigners are being immediately
executed.
No Escape establishes its scenario using the
"stranger in a strange land" premise. Unassuming engineer Jack Dwyer
(Owen Wilson) transplants his family - wife Annie (Lake Bell) and young
daughters Lucy (Sterling Jerins) and Beeze (Claire Geare) - from the
familiarity of Austin, Texas to the incongruity of an unnamed, unstable south
Asian nation. What initially looks like a promising new start turns into a
nightmare. A coup and the resulting unrest make the environment toxic for
foreigners - especially those associated with Jack's new employer, a multinational
conglomeration understandably demonized by the rioters. As the situation
becomes increasingly dangerous for the Dwyers, with their hotel under siege and
the American embassy sacked, a British ex-pat named Hammond (Pierce Brosnan)
comes to their aid in an attempt to redeem an uneasy conscience.

and Bairi. Upri is a village nestled in the hills and Bairi is at the base of
the Hill Range although close to each other in proximity, are poles apart in
every other measure as of water access and economic development. The people of
Upri were like royal ones and they had used the people of Bairi as their
employees. This had made the people of Bairi skilled in their work and also
become good farmers. But in 1992, as a result of a love quarrel between a young
girl from Upri and a young man from Bairi, the villagers of Upri excommunicated
the inhabitants of Bairi. The people of Bairi were devastated since they got
employment, food and money from working in Upri. But the village survived. The
thing that made them survive was the real knowledge they had in terms of
farming, harvesting and building wells while they were working for the rich
people from Upri. Few years later an immense drought hit the area where Upri and
Bairi are located. Then the equation of power between the two villages
completely changed because of WATER. The head of the Upri village had a son
Rajesh (Raj) Singh in his mid-20's who was coming back to the village after his
higher education in the nearby city. The people of Upri had pinned all their
hopes on Raj and wanted him to sort out the mess of water for them. The head of
the Bairi village has one daughter, Janhavi. Janhavi, the heroine of the story,
is a girl very rooted to the cause of water and Bairi. She knows very clearly
what made Bairi grow and what made Upri what it is. She is a girl who has no
problem speaking her mind. She has an opinion and is also the women’s voice in
the Panchayat. The rest is pure Bollywood movie with love, politics, plot,
music and dance.
