New movies released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
India's Most Wanted
India's Most Wanted is an Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, and starring Arjun Kapoor. The film is about tracking a terrorist in a secret mission and arresting him without firing bullets. This film also deals with a journey of Prabhat Kapoor's (played by Arjun Kapoor) life of action adventure. India's Most Wanted is inspired by the arrest of proscribed organisation Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist Abdul Subhan Qureshi, also referred to as India's Osama Bin Laden, in January 2018 by Delhi Police.
Principal photography of the film began in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2018. The soundtrack was composed by Amit Trivedi, with lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and released under the banner Saregama.
The movie has an interesting story. Five unlikely heroes embark on a dangerous covert operation to capture one of India's deadliest terrorists. Arjun Kapoor plays the central role of an Intelligence Bureau officer. The film is based on India's biggest manhunt, of Yasin Bhatkal. The movie is a tribute to the unsung heroes of our country. This action-thriller is centered on an intelligence officer recruited for a seemingly impossible mission. Inspired by true events, the movie celebrates the valour of real-life IB officer Prabhat Kapoor who undertook the task of capturing one of the most wanted terrorists without firing a single bullet. India's Most Wanted follows the story of five men, who seek to capture a deadly extremist, without weapons or state-of-the-art technology. The two-and-a-half minute trailer opens with anonymous voices claiming that the nation-state is in a bad state, owing to a flurry of untraceable suicide blasts. We see Arjun in the midst of a chaotic stampede, with people running haywire. One scene shows him in conversation with Rajesh Sharma, as he proclaims that he will capture the perpetrator, who is referred to as India's most wanted, for the government in five days. Arjun's team comprises of Prasanth Alexandrr as Pillai, Gaurav Mishra as Amit, Aasif Khan as Bittu, Santilal Mukherjee as Shaumik Biswas and Bajrangbali Singh as Ravi, who will battle all odds to find the deadly extremist. Bureaucracy and red-tape are their foes and all they can trust are each other.
The movie has Arjun Kapoor as Prabhat Kapoor, Amrita Puri as Priyanka Rao, Rajesh Sharma as Rajesh Singh, Prashanth Alexander as Pillai, Shantilal Mukherjee as Shaumik Biswas, Devendra Mishra as Javed, Gaurav Mishra as Amit, Aasif Khan as Bittu, Bajrangbali Singh as Ravi, Pravin Singh Sisodia as Manish, Rajiv Kachroo as Dev and Sudev Nair.
The film's soundtrack was composed by Amit Trivedi, with lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and released under the banner Saregama. The film has songs like "Akela" sung by Abhijeet Srivastava and "Vande Mataram" by Papon and Altamash Faridi.

PM Narendra Modi

PM Narendra Modi is an Indian biographical film directed by Omung Kumar and jointly produced by Suresh Oberoi, Sandip Ssingh, and Anand Pandit. The film is based on the life of Narendra Modi, and 14th Prime Minister of India; starring Vivek Oberoi in the lead role who is also credited as co-writer of the film. The film will release in 23 different languages. It is the story of Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi's life and his struggle to become a politician without money and background.
The film is interesting in the sense that it showcases Modi's remarkable courage, wisdom, patience, dedication to his people, his acumen as a political strategist, his leadership that inspired a thousand social changes in Gujarat and later India. It traces his childhood in the 1950s to his meteoric rise in the corridors of politics, as a four-time serving Chief Minister. The film culminates in Modi's overcoming all the obstacles to create and lead one of the most fascinating and successful election campaigns in world politics in 2013-14. The remarkable rise of Modi, from a boy who sold tea in a small railway station in Vadnagar, Gujarat, to becoming one of India’s charismatic political heavyweights makes the movie a treat to watch. Just like Modi’s popular wardrobe choice — crisp, crease-free cotton kurtas in muted tones — his life is startlingly spotless and achingly stiff. The movie portrays Modi as India’s man-of-the-moment and an infallible people’s leader. There’s even a rap song that plays whenever on-screen Modi manages a rousing speech to extol the virtues of honest governance. The movie also depicts episodes in Modi’s life and regime, like the religious riots that erupted in Gujarat during his watch as the Chief Minister of the state or his religion-based politics. He’s shown as a misunderstood messiah who’s a keeper of humanity. His only religion is karma, which means service. A scene in which he engineers a transformation of an angry mob to drop their swords in Gujarat during riots is worth watching. The movie also has heightened emotional speeches everywhere.
The film has Vivek Oberoi as Narendra Modi and Manoj Joshi as Amit Shah.
The music of the film is composed by A. R. Rahman, Hitesh Modak and Shashi-Khushi while the lyrics are written by Javed Akhtar, Prasoon Joshi, Sameer, Abhendra Upadhyay, Irshad Kamil, Parry G. and Lavraj. Two songs, one Suno Gaur Se Duniya Walon from Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt starrer a 1997 unfinished film Dus and the other Ishwar Allah from the film 1947: Earth, starring Aamir Khan, Nandita Das and lyrics by Javed Akhtar used in this film. Thus the movie has songs like "Saugandh Mujhe Iss Mitti Ki", "Namo Namo", "Hindustani" (Original lyrics by Sameer), "Fakeera", "Junoon" and "Ishwar Allah" (Original lyrics by Javed Akhtar).
