And October continues too

12. Babbarr (Hindi) (5.5/10)
Unlike other films, this film that also deals with underworld gang and 'gundagardi', this film explores it with a difference and something that keeps your attention grabbed. Newcomer Sohum acts very well. UP politics and gundas have attracted film goers time and again but this one is nice and different. The message is clear, One Babbarr dies but somewhere someone is still alive as Babbarr.

11. Recount (4/10)
I had wanted to watch this film for a while. This film recounts and recall viewer of the 2000 Presidential election that went on forever because of Gore/Bush problems. For me who had not witnessed it first hand, it was so surprising to see all that went into that election. You could be the world's supreme power but even you can screw up b giving elections to someone who actually lost elections and the winner is busy educating world about Global Warming.

10. Chintu Ji (Hindi) (5/10)
Part true, part fiction the film is very interesting. Rishi Kapoor plays himself, a superstar who wants to joins politics. He is arrogant and when he comes back to his birth village, he doesn't mind playing with their emotions, of course later realizing everything. Overall it was very interesting concept, The interactions between the villagers and the star was very interesting. Overall a very engrossing film.

9. Bollywood Hero (IFC Mini Series) (3/10)
Heavily promoted in US, this one was such a major disappointment. Bad acting, over the top (except Pooja Kumar), the film was more targeted towards Americans giving them a totally false and wrong picture of india and indian film industry. Kris Katan was ok but it seemed like everyone in the film was trying to top the other actor in going overboard with acting. My favourite was the grandma and her dialogues in Hindi. Neha Dhupia was bad.
