"Khel mein haarna ya jeetna maaine nahin rakhta, aisa usi nein kaha hoga jo hara ho. Khelna sirf jeetne ke liye hona chahiye, " quips Tabrez aka Tez (Gautam Sharma) while talking to Shroff (Kay Kay Menon) in a scene from the avant-garde film, BHINDI BAAZAAR INC.. Apart from Kay Kay Menon in a cameo, the film boasts of no big stars, but manages to score high on the entertainment quotient.

Set in Mumbai's popular Bhindi Bazaar area, the story oscillates between the past and present over a game of chess between Tez and Shroff. Through flashback scenes we are introduced to the two rival pick-pocketing gangs headed by Mamu (Pawan Malhotra) and Pandey (Piyush Mishra) respectively. Tez and Fateh (Prashant Narayanan) from Mamu's gang are childhood buddies who want to make it big. They even compete to pick maximum pockets as they run after a kati patang (deftly done sequence). But cracks start surfacing in their relationship after the sudden demise of Mamu. A treacherous game of love, deceit, betrayal and malice ensues, involving a host of other characters.

You'll find a lot of filmmakers falsely claiming that their film is 'different', but the tag certainly holds true for BHINDI BAAZAAR INC.. It might be director Ankush Bhatt's debut film, but he certainly knows how to do his job. The style of narration using chess is unique and makes for a compelling watch. The characters are excellently related on the chess board. Also, the sub-plots of all the characters are culminated with precision. Only the intentions of Shabana (Vedita Pratap Singh), who plays Mamu's saali and sleeps around with everyone, are not clear. The number of twists and turns keep you hooked. However, you do end up being a tad exhausted towards the end. And the second half does wander for a bit.

Always Kabhi Kabhi Release Date : 17,Jun 2011

Producer    Gauri Khan
 Director    Roshan Abbas
 Music    Aashish Rego, Shree D, Pritam Chakraborty
 Writer    Roshan Abbas, Ranjit Raina
 Lyrics    Roshan Abbas, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Prashant Pandey, Irfan Siddique
 Release Date    17-Jun-2011

The film is set in the atypical college campus of Hindi films, where girls wear teeny-weeny skirts as part of their uniform and their hair is flying all over the place.

A gang of four friends, all grappling with typical teen issues. Nandini aka nandi bull (Zoya) gets no attention from her working parents, Aishwarya (Giselle) is being forced into modeling and stardom by her mother, Tariq (Satyajeet) reeling under tremendous pressure from his father to join MIT and Sameer Khanna (Ali) has a super strict father, who never listens to him, and to top it he is blackmailed by two local cops.

The debut direction by Roshan Abbas leaves a lot to be desired. Even when the opening credits are being shown, you kind of cringe because it involves two red hearts, which is as outdated as hmm... Romeo and Juliet.
The script seems confused about which issue to focus on and ends up jumbling up everything. What should have been a racy, fun film meanders too much, and once in a while, picks up and then drops again.

Even though the movie is an attempt to reflect the lives of today's youngsters, with a generous dose of social networking sites, hacking, short forms etc. thrown in, the script in itself seems a bit outdated and stale.
The young cast however, is fresh and endearing.

Must make a special mention of Ali who is a natural and Zoya, who in spite of this being her debut performance, comes across as a competent actress. Giselle is good eye candy but lacks acting abilities and Satyajeet is okay. It's sad that filmmakers still pass off feeding laxatives and compose tablets to unsuspecting people as comedy.

The predictable bunch of stars of every campus movie in Hindi - Satish Shah, Lilette Dubey etc. are also part of this movie.

The issues don't touch you and at one point you really don't give a damn about how they are dealing with them really. The climax is pretty juvenile, as the youngsters turn great Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet into their own version where they get to rave and rant about their problems.

Shah Rukh's item song comes at the fag end of the film, but by then it is too late to do anything about this film. A good opportunity wasted.

Bheja Fry 2 Release Date : 17,Jun 2011

Producer    Mukul Deora
 Director    Sagar Ballary
 Music    Ishq Bector, Sneha Khanwalkar, Sagar Desai
 Writer    Sagar Ballary
 Lyrics    Shree D, Sonny Ravan, Shakeel Azmi
 Release Date    17-Jun-2011

The sequel starts with Bharat Bhushan (Vinay Pathak) winning a reality TV show that gets him aboard a cruise liner. On the same cruise is the businessman Ajit Talwar (Kay Kay Menon) who is evading an impending income-tax raid. When he gets to know about Bhushan's (remember he was an IT officer) existence on the same ship, he decides to knock him off. But as luck would have it, they both land up on a secluded island. As much as Ajit wants to get rid of the irritating Bhushan, he can't escape him on the isolated island.
Vinay Pathak attempts to revive all the idiosyncrasies of Bharat Bhushan from the original from his typical laughing style, his flat-oiled hairstyle, his chaste and verbose Hindi usage and his number-lock briefcase. Just the noisy crumpled plastic bag is upgraded to a Velcro valet. But Bhushan's most prominent recall value is that he continues his inharmonious and incessant singing of yesteryear numbers of Hemant Da and Manna Dey.
While Bharat Bhushan's character is already established in the prequel, the film starts on a slow note establishing Kay Kay's lecherous and calculative character. The Bheja Frying starts in the first half itself but the graph goes to a different level in the second half when the duo land on the island. The Bheja Fry franchise would work on the cross-connected chemistry between Vinay Pathak and his victim and it does in the sequel as well. The Vinay Pathak – Kay Kay Menon camaraderie (rather the lack of it) gives way for some hilarious moments. Kay Kay's frustration and Vinay's indifferent and callous attitude in the island-arrest situation qualifies as a perfect extension to brand Bheja Fry .
However the narrative goes for a toss in the concluding portions when Amole Gupte's undefined, nature-loving, human-hating half-baked character is introduced which remains tangent to the primary plot. Further the comedy film steers towards idealism which is not exactly a sane idea. Plus the island episode ends abruptly making way for an unneeded epilogue to resolve Bharat Bhushan's perfunctory romance track with Minissha Lamba.
Vinay Pathak plays Bharat Bhushan to the requisite perfection. But it's Kay Kay Menon's response to Bhushan's silliness and goofiness that makes Bheja Fry 2 an interesting experience. From his straight-faced expressions to his enraging outbursts, Kay Kay is just too good. Amol Gupte hams in his weirdo character. Minissha Lamba looks cute. Suresh Menon repeats his south Indian act.
While director Sagar Ballary racks his brains enough to come up with original work in Bheja Fry 2 , he isn't able to end it on a high note. Not bad but could have been better!

Shaitan Release Date : 10,Jun 2011

Brilliantly written with some of the brightest young stars of Bollywood. Part Alistair Pereira case and part Adnan Patrawala, it's as shocking as it is thrilling. Sample the dialogue. What do you call a crazy vibrator? Dil-do pagal hai. Okay dikra. Suck my dickra. Oops. Gulp. Yes, it's that sort of the film. Girls snorting cocaine. Boys pleasuring themselves. Parents watching helplessly as their children retreat into their own worlds, slip out of control, steal jewellery, fake kidnappings.
Imagine Yash Raj Films' clean cut, we-are-family youngsters. Now imagine the opposite. Youngsters lying, cheating, drinking their parents' whisky, driving their cars, spending their money. There's nothing benign about them. These are no Sids waiting to be woken up by by the love of a good woman. No, these are unrepentant, unrealising, and ungrateful youngsters who are willing to live in luxury and will do anything to retain that. They may love their hapless parents somewhat and their siblings somewhat but not more than they love themselves.
Bejoy Nambiar has no view on them. And that's a good thing. He tells this story straight or as straight as his twisted mind can get. Everything gets subverted here. The gorgeous Khoya Khoya Chand is used as the backdrop to a shootout scene in Bhindi Bazaar which makes Kaminey's shootout look like a kitty party.
A wedding becomes the scene of a hilarious hook-up. Joint account khologi, asks Gulshan Deviah's crazy KC, offering Kalki Koechlin's Amy a joint. There's a fat man there who's just had his children for dinner because they didn't do their homework. There's a nangi aunty there. And yes, there's my rich dad, Jai Mata Di. It's a nasty piece of work yes, but delicious and sinfully so.
Watch it breathlessly. Anurag Kashyap produces, Bejoy Nambiar directs. It's disturbing, no doubt. There's nothing cartoonish about the violence. It's visceral, in your face, and gritty. The music is selected with care, new and old, remixed to rock riffs. Rajeev Khandelwal makes a welcome return as the tightly wound policeman investigating the kidnapping. And yet there is lots of black humour. Some of it unprintable. It's toxic, but rivetting.
For anyone with teenagers, it's a scary wake-up call, if they don't know what's happening. There's Neil Bhoopalam's Zubin filling Holi balloons with piss. There's Kirti Kulhari's Tanya being almost raped (can't say by whom). And there's Shiv Pandit's Dushyant going after someone with a makeshift bat. And there are a host of fantastic characters, from Pavan Malhotra's police commissioner, to Rajit Kapoor's befuddled dad, to Shivani Tanksale's mad mom to Rajat Barmecha's bent child.
Zindagi film ki tarah to nahin hai, but forward to ho sakti hai, says Kalki's character. But this is one film you don't want to fast forward. From bhurji pao at Bade Miyan to a midnight raid on a chemist for cough syrup to get high on, from speeding Hummers to a crooked cop, brilliantly played by the professional shyster Raj Kumar Yadav, this is a movie that is memorable. Worrying but memorable.
Facebook sympathy messages, competitive media coverage, Bhojpuri movies being watched as a lark, and finally, the redemptive power of love. Mr Nambiar, please step up, take a bow. Mr Kashyap, you too.

West is West Release Date : 10,Jun 2011

Producer    Leslee Udwin
 Director    Ayub Khan Din, Andy De Emmony
 Release Date    10-Jun-2011

Story: Manchester, England, 1975. The family of Pakistani Brit, George/Jehangir Khan (Om Puri) may have reduced in size with most of his sons having walked out of house, but his troubles haven't ended. His youngest son Sajid (Aqib Khan), plagued by bullies in school, is growing unruly and rebellious. In order to tame him, George takes him to Pakistan to spend time with his first wife (Ila Arun) and the family he abandoned twenty years ago. But getting back isn't as easy as it seems, specially when his English wife (Linda Bassett) chooses to join him....

Movie Review: The film is essentially a sequel to East is East, the film that focused on the travails of a Pakistani-British family trying to cope with the cultural divide. But West is West stands on its own, even though it carries forward the story of the man who struggles between his twin identities: George Khan, the Pakistani-Brit who runs a modest eatery and Jehangir Khan, the Pakistani farmer, with family, property and roots in rural Pakistan. And that's because the film carries one simple message that needs to be reiterated, the world over: East may be East, West may be West, but people are the same, despite their superficial differences.

The highpoint of the film is young Aqib Khan who not only renders a scintillating performance as the pubescent Sajid, but becomes a metaphor for the whole film. Sajid's journey of self discovery, which begins with extreme hate for the dustbowl of Pakistan grows to a gentle fondness for his origins, and becomes the story of each and every character in the film. Acceptance must come from both sides, be it Jehangir Khan's abandoned family or his culturally diverse English family. In a seminal sequence, the two wives manage to communicate despite their language barriers, and touch your heart, while they do it.

The performances are all impressive, specially by Om Puri and Ila Arun. The humour is delightful. But what finally takes your breath away is the soulful music of the film rendered by the nomadic Sufi Saeen Zahoor. Do stay for the last number, Aik Alif.
