Time for some bollywood masala

16. Jugaad (Hindi) (2/10)
Manoj Bajpai own an advertising firm which one day gets locked because it is in a residential area. What follows is string of events and how different people give different idea and do things that need jugaad. Manoj doesn't agree because he believes in karm. But everyone else believes in jugaad. Ultimately karm wins. They thought they were making a Leader kind of film but it was so bad that no one should waste their precious 2 hours on a film like this.

15. Gumnaam - A Mystery (Hindi) (4/10)
Mahima Choudhary is murdered. The bad guys find out a struggling girl who resembles Mahima and sign her up for a film. Soon Mahima realizes that something fishy is going on. BUt she is trapped. It turns out original irl is worth 800 crores. Dino finally rescues her and everything is fine. A bad movie which made no sense at so many places. Random songs, poor acting by everyone.

14. Meerabai Not Out (Hindi) (5.5/10)
Zero expectations and turned out to be a decent film, a bit long though. Mandira Bedi , a school teacher is passionat eto the core about cricket. After a long time, when she finally meets her man, she runs away to watch a match on her engagement day. How she wins back hearts of people and still justify that her passion for cricket is not wrong makes this film. The film has good mix of everything. You dont get bored but it definitely can be edited well and made more crisp.

13. Oh My God (Hindi) (5.5/10)
At leat this movie was something different and tried to be hilarious in parts. Vinay Pathak is a happy married man who wants to make big money but a money sharing/investment scheme. He is passionate/annoying for this that God decides to come down and make him rich but he refuses because he wants to make money n his own terms. Then starts the game where God plays with his mind between money and his brochures and making a man realize towards the end that money is not everything. A happy family is much more important than anything.

12. Ek - The Power of One (Hindi) (4/10)
A typical masala 80s kind of film. Usual story of a man running from cops for the murder of a minister ends up in a village where a big Punjabi family mistakes him for their lost son and he starts transforming and helping the entire family in need. His heart changes. Following all this is an annoying cop Nana Patekar who wants to nab him. I dont know why they made this film and why the weird title. Waste of money and audience's time.
