Time for Bollywood masala

20. Shadow (Hindi) (3/10)
This film was made purely to showcase the talent of newcomer Nasser Khan who is actually blind in real life. To keep that in account, he does singing, dancing, acting and all deadly stunts by himself is pretty commendable. But still the movie is pathetic. Police led by Sonali Kulkarni are trying to solve various murder cases that are happening in the city. Milind Soman and Hrishita Bhatt are reporters handling the case. and then there is a car mechanic who is great at his work and everyone loves , Nasser Khan. It turns out he is the killer and the logic behind it is bad. Poor acting by everyone else and a overweight Sonali in tight pants. Stay away

19. Kisaan (Hindi) (5/10)
This was actually not a bad film. Said to be inspired by Manoj Kumar's Upkar, te story is about kisaan Jackie Shroff with 2 sons. Elder son Arbaaz Khan studies in city and younger Sohail Khan becomes anther kisaan. Enter villain Dilip Tahil who wants to but all kisaan's land which Jackie and Sohail oppose but he smehow infiltrates Arbaaz Khan's mind for monetary reasons. This causes a rift between the family and in the end everything is fine. Dia Mirza and Nauheed Cyrusi are fillers.

18. Firaaq (Hindi) (7/10)
Nandita Das' directorial debut is actually pretty heavy but interesting. It showcases multiple stories of various people and what are they going t hrough after the Gujarat riots. It involves a Muslim slum family (Shahana Goswami), a muslim husband and hindu wife, Deepti naval dealing with he own trauma under abusive husband and a maulwi. Interesting character sketch but some stories were left open ended. Nevertheless, very interesting.

17. Luck (Hindi) (6.5/10)
It is definitely a different movie. Sanjay Dutt alongwith Danny collect people from all over the world who they think are lucky and are in need of money. (Shruti Haasan, Mithun, Ravi Kissen, Imran, CHitrashi etc). They work on human betting and make them go through the most dangerous life threatning games. No one actually gets special treatment though you can say that for Imran Khan. All of thes people play dangerous games thereby eliminating one by one and ultimately Imran wins big betting money of 20 crore. Its def a nice eye candy watch

16. Three: Love, Lies and Betrayal (Hindi) (4/10)
Nausheen Ali Sardar lives with husband Akshay Kaoor in a huge mansion but are in need of money. Husband wants to sel house but she doesn't because its hr parents aakhri nishani. They keep a tenant Ashish Chaudhary. Soon game of deception , love and lies start. Ashish pretends to love Nausheen but whats the secret behind. It turns out Akshay is one deceing her but ultimately how Nausheen ends up being a winner. Something similar came long back in movies like Danger and Jackpot. No one remembers those movies and neither will they remember this.
