May progresses well

16. Pathshala (Hindi) (5.5/10)
The heart of the film was in the right place but sometimes you get faulted with corruption. Its a huge school but only 6-7 teachers, barely 100 students etc. The story is about Nana Patekar and what will he do to save his school from getting closed to be built into a mall in name of globalization and economy. Shahid and Ayesha Takia were decent. It was very good to see Nana Patekar so restrained.

15. The Stepfather (3/10)
When Michael Harding returns home from military school, he finds his mom is madly in love with her charming live-in boyfriend David. At first, David appears to be the ultimate nice guy and an ideal future husband and stepfather. But when Michael and his girlfriend start delving into David’s past, they begin to discover a dark and dangerous side to Michael’s new “daddy” in this riveting, chilling thriller.

14. City Of Gold (Hindi) (8/10)
A brilliant film in all aspects. Film shows the life of mill workers in 80s in Mumbai. Everyone acts so well and natural. Mahesh Manjrekar is back in action. Very very strongly recommend this film to everyone.

13. Well Done Abba (HIndi) (5.5/10)
This was a very interesting film. When government actually plays with a poor Boman Irani, he fights back with wit and smartness thanks to his daughter and plays backs with the system. The proceedings in the stat are a little slow but half way it becomes very interesting. Minissha Lamba surprisingly acts really well. I so wish she had not gone under knife and get her beautiful face all screwed up.

12. The Waiting Room (Hindi) (2/10)
This was a short film about 4 people who are stranded in a waiting room on a train station overnight. They all read different stories in newspaper and somehow think that one of them is the person n the news. So everyone ends up thinking something bad about at least one of them. In between there is a murder. Movie ends up with all doubts being cleared up.

11. Alice In Wonderland (3.5/10)
This movie is an interesting twist on the original series. Alice, now 19 years old, returns to the whimsical world she first entered as a child and embarks on a journey to discover her true destiny. She has to help the original queen now get her throne back by defeating the evil sister. Just alright for me although I think the kids (specially the girls) would love it.

10. Iron Man 2 (4/10)
Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role but now he has to fight his friends, government and Mickey Rourke who now has all the skills and talent that Iron Man possesses. The movie was entertaining but not half as good as the first one. This sequel was made just for the hell of it.
