Jai Gangajal
Jai Gangaajal (English: Ganges' Waters or literally
means Hail Holy Waters) is a 2016 Indian Hindi action drama film, directed by
Prakash Jha. It is a sequel of the 2003 crime film Gangaajal, and starres
Priyanka Chopra in the lead role with Jha appearing in a supporting role. The
film also features Manav Kaul, Rahul Bhat and Queen Harish.
The film features SP Abha Mathur (Priyanka Chopra)
who is appointed the first female SP of Bankipur district, Bihar. She then goes
against the Local MLA of Bankipur (Manav Kaul) and henchmen of Lakhisarai
district. Thus Jai Gangaajal is about a female cop, who takes on some powerful
and influential men in her district. It is about today's dictum of
society-police relationship. This one has all the bizarre things happening
around us in reality. Priyanka Chopra plays the role of superintendent of
police Abha Mathur who is posted to a fictitious district called Bankipur in
northern India. Priyanka’s brutally fierce and bold avatar is overwhelmingly
impressive. Her character Abha is fearless and feisty and in the movie she is
seen teaching a lesson for life to all those who attempt to corrupt the
society. In a fury of wildness, she shows what exactly it takes to be a
‘junglee billi’. She is so fearless that she has her neck in a vice-like grip
of a dirty, corrupt politician, played by Manav Kaul. The film is a confusing
blend of social commentary on mob justice, the rich-poor divide and
power-hungry politicians. Priyanka, in fact, has elevated this police drama
into an engaging film. But she’s no miracle worker but what she can do
exceptionally well is hit hard with a stick. The scenes in which she bludgeons
a grimy goon, who attempts to sexually abuse a girl, packs a punch. Chopra is
not awkward as a police officer nor does she try to be manly in her
male-dominated workplace, but her perfectly-stained lips are a distraction. In
the climax after a particularly rough encounter with the villain, she comes out
of it looking like a bruise-free peach. Jai Gangaajal is full of issues such as
corporate greed, debt-ridden farms, lawless cities and frustrated civilians,
but there’s no particular direction to all that chaos.
Music of the film is composed by Salim-Sulaiman. This
movie has total 11 soundtracks. Besides the two songs, Maya Thagni Nach Nachave
and Tetua, the film also has songs like Joganiya sung by Udit Narayan, Dheere
Dheere by Pravesh Mallick, Ghanghor Ghana Ghan by Keerthi Sagathia, Najar Tori
Raja by Richa Sharma, Dinu Baadar by Divya Kumar, Sanke Hai San San by Bappi
Lahiri, Maai by Sugandha Date and Sab Dhan Maati.
Thus the film has Priyanka Chopra as SP Abha Mathur, Prakash
Jha as Bhola Nath Singh aka B.N. Singh, Manav Kaul, Rahul Bhat, Ninad Kamat, Ayush
Mahesh Khedekar, Murli Sharma, Vega Tamotia, Sambit Samal and Queen Harish
Zubaan
Zubaan is a 2015 Indian musical drama film written
and directed by Mozez Singh, starring Vicky Kaushal and Sarah Jane Dias, with
music composed by Ashutosh Phatak.
The film is the coming of age story of a young boy
(Vicky Kaushal) who loses his faith and develops a fear of music and his
journey in fighting that fear and thus finding himself. Zubaan is an uneven but
engrossing drama about a young Punjabi bumpkin whose big-city ambitions lead
him down many a dark alley en route to the more upbeat land of self-discovery. The
opening sequence is of a young boy named Dilsher (Harmehroz Singh) wandering
through a Sikh temple — where he’s greeted in song by a man whose identity will
emerge in due course. A runty kid who lives with his impoverished family in the
dusty village of Gurdaspur, Dilsher is mercilessly bullied by the other boys
for his pronounced stutter, and quickly learns a thing or two about defending
himself. He also receives some life-altering advice from a tough-minded adult
onlooker named Gurcharand Sikand (Manish Chaudhari), who teaches him that the
only person he’ll ever be able to rely on in life is himself. Dilsher has fully
absorbed the implications of that cruel lesson when we catch up with him in
Delhi several years later (now played by Vicky Kaushal), craftily orchestrating
a long-overdue reunion with Gurcharand, an extravagantly wealthy tycoon who
oversees a sprawling multinational empire. Shrewdly intervening in a clash
between company executives and striking construction workers, Dilsher soon
talks his way into Gurcharand’s good graces, his stutter largely receding as he
emphasizes their humble roots in the same village (the big boss is known as
“the Lion of Gurdaspur”), and makes clear that he, too, longs to be a self-made
man someday. Before long, Dilsher has landed a job at the company’s Dubai
headquarters and taken up residence in his boss’s magnificent estate, to the
chagrin and bewilderment of Gurcharand’s son and heir, Surya (Raaghav Chanana).
Of course, making his way into this privileged position will require minor
compromises.
The soundtrack of Zubaan is composed by Ashutosh
Phatak. Lyrics are penned by Varun Grover (Writer), Ashutosh Phatak, Surjit
Patar.
Zootopia
Zootopia (known as Zootropolis in Europe)[5][6] is a
2016 American 3D computer-animated action buddy comedy neo-noir adventure. The
film is produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney
Pictures. It is the 55th Disney animated feature film. The film is directed by
Byron Howard and Rich Moore, co-directed by Jared Bush, and starring Ginnifer
Goodwin Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, J.K. Simmons, Jenny Slate, Nate Torrence,
and Shakira. It is scheduled to be released in the Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D,
and IMAX 3D formats on March 4, 2016.
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city
like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and
frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live
together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the
smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps
arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big,
tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the
opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking,
scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.
London Has
Fallen
London Has Fallen is a 2016 American action thriller
film directed by Babak Najafi and written by Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin
Benedikt, Chad St. John, and Christian Gudegast. It is a sequel to Antoine
Fuqua's 2013 film Olympus Has Fallen and stars Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart,
and Morgan Freeman, with Alon Moni Aboutboul, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster,
Melissa Leo, and Radha Mitchell in supporting roles.
In London, the British Prime Minister has died under
mysterious circumstances and his funeral is a must-attend event for leaders of
the Western world. What starts out as the most protected event on Earth turns
into a deadly plot to kill the world's most powerful leaders and unleash a
terrifying vision of the future. The only hope of stopping it rests on the
shoulders of the U.S. President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart), his formidable
US Secret Service lead agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), Vice President Allan
Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), and British MI6 agent Jacquelin Marshall (Charlotte
Riley) who rightly trusts no one.
45 Years
45 Years is a 2015 British romantic drama film
directed and written by Andrew Haigh. The film is based on the short story
"In Another Country" by David Constantine. The film has Charlotte
Rampling and Tom Courtenay playing the main roles.
There is just one week until Kate Mercer's (Charlotte
Rampling) 45th wedding anniversary and the planning for the party is going
well. But then a letter arrives for her husband (Tom Courtenay). The body of
his first love has been discovered, frozen and preserved in the icy glaciers of
the Swiss Alps. By the time the party is upon them, five days later, there may
not be a marriage left to celebrate.
13 Hours
The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (also known simply as
13 Hours) is a 2016 American biographical war film directed and co-produced by
Michael Bay and written by Chuck Hogan, based on Mitchell Zuckoff's 2014 book
13 Hours. Billed as being based on a true story, the film follows six members
of a security team who fight to defend the American diplomatic compound in
Benghazi, Libya after waves of terrorist attacks on September 11, 2012. The
film stars James Badge Dale, John Krasinski, Max Martini, Toby Stephens, Pablo
Schreiber, David Denman, Dominic Fumusa, Freddie Stroma, and Alexia Barlier.
A key assertion in the film — that the security team
defended the compound against the orders of the local CIA chief — has been
disputed. It’s a chilling portrait of anti-American hatred by “bad guys” — a
repeated phrase in a script occasionally too blunt for its own good. During the
initial strike on the compound occupied by Ambassador Chris Stevens, Silva and
company are nearby but are ordered to do nothing even though residents are
sitting ducks. But they do an end-run, setting the stage for streaming gunfights,
high-speed car chases and explosions, each crackly choreographed for maximum
impact. Not everyone makes it out alive, as reported at the time.
