Dasvi
Starring Abhishek Bachchan, Nimrat Kaur, Yami Gautam Dhar
Directed by Tushar Joshi
Except for the fact that Yami Gautam looks nothing like a jail superintendent, Dasvi is quite a delightful experience. It is filled with little pockets of surprising warmth and dollops of takeaway tenderness.
Abhishek Bachchan, in a career-defining performance, plays Gangaram Choudhary, the Chief Minister of an imaginary North Indian state that looks suspiciously like Haryana. Abhishek’s behaviour onscreen suggests he plays a younger more effervescent and reformative version of Om Prakash Chautala. His accent is spot-on and his body-language suggests an arrogant ownership of the space that he claims as though by birthright.
But let’s not get too political here. Dasvi intends to have fun with the politics of gender dynamics. It also puts across a deeply-felt message on the importance of education. On both the counts, it passes the examination with distinction. While...

Crackdown (Voot)
Starring Iqbal Khan,Saqib Salim,Sipriya Palgaonkar, Rajesh Tailang
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia
Crackdown, the new suave series on Raw activities,treads on a familiar ground—Raw agents with problems amongst themselves trying to protect the country from terrorists with scars running across their cheeks with dastardly ambition to match.
But this one does it with style. If you have seen Apoorva Lakhia’ large-screen projects you would see he has a knack of filming arresting action scenes. Crackdown too has its share of heart-in-the-mouth fights where our brave hero Riaz Pathan, aka Rp(Saqib Saleem) carries out impossible rescue missions, many of these involving a pretty , economically challenged workingclass girl Divya(Sirpriya Pilgaonkar) who is coerced into playing a Raw agent to nab a dangerous terrorist.

National security, terror threats and intelligence-ops make for ready thriller scripts across cinematic formats. The Ott space, with its multi-episodic structure, allows a longer time frame for stories to gestate, and that would definitely seem like an advantage while telling such tales, over the limited runtime of feature films.

Actor Jatin Goswami, who featured in Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, will make his digital debut with sci-fi show "Skyfire", in which he essays an intelligence agent.
Jatin said: "I'm playing the character Sayed Ali Hassan, an intelligence agent who is brutally honest. He is on this once-in-a-lifetime kind of case that takes him to some extremely dark places."
"In solving the case, he is sucked into a freaky chain of events. It is a gritty, edge-of-the-seat sci-fi thriller," added the actor, who also has appeared in the film Hum Chaar.
"Skyfire" will premiere on May 22 on ZEE5. The show also features Prateik Babbar, Sonal Chauhan and Jisshu Sengupta.
The story revolves around the drastically changing weather that brings life to a standstill, as well as touches upon human trafficking and children going missing in Delhi. Amidst all this tension, an intelligence agent, a journalist and a teacher go on a hunt to solve the mystery.

Chef
Starring Saif Ali Khan, Padmapriya Janakiraman, Svar Kamble
Directed by Raja Krishna Menon
There is a lot of teasing between the father and son, played with endearing casualness by Saif Ali Khan and Svar Kamble. Aptly, Chef teases our appetite for cinema. It’s a culinary delight—warm, tender, inviting and appetizing– served up in a dainty dish with a dash of debonair but played-down posturing, like a masterchef who is shy to show off his skills but can’t help it. He’s so adept at what he does.
Chef conveys the kind of sagacious skill born not out of arrogance but wisdom sometimes misplaced. Like the protagonist Roshan Kalra’s traditionalist father who believes the kitchen is for women.
Speaking of which—arrogance more than wisdom—Saif Ali Khan’s Roshan Kalra (from Chandni Chowk Delhi married to and divorced from the lovely Malayali danseuse Radha Menon...

Directed by Sujoy Ghosh
It’s just another ordinary humid laconic night in Chandanagar, a small dusty town on the outskirts of Kolkata where, as one grinning havaldar informs his senior, nothing ever happens.
Well, all that is about to change. Sujoy Ghosh’s small-town suspense thriller knocks the bottom of the thriller genre. Kahaani 2, no relation to the first film in the suspenseful series that Sujoy directed to ever-casting fame (it’s Vidya Balan all the way in this franchise) is not only a first-rate action drama with some of the most ingenious action (including one absolutely spellbinding fist-to-fist between the brave Balan and female khaki-clad assassin) it is also a haunting deeply disturbing mirror of our times when normalcy and decorum often hide grievous disturbances, best left untampered and unrevealed. Until someone dares to tell the truth.

For my money and time, Akshay Kumar is the most watchable star in Bollywood today. See Airlift. You will know why. Unlike the other superstars, his growth is constant. Every film — and I include his steady stream of comedy films — finds him touch base with new depths of emotions within himself.
In Airlift, to play Ranjit Katyal, the unsung unknown hero who masterminded the evacuation of thousands of Indians stranded in Kuwait in August 1990 when Saddam Hussain’s battle-drunk army decided to take over, Akshay delivers a performance that is subtle and skilled. He weaves his way around the crisis, looking for centre to his war-torn conscience-stricken character. When he finds that centre, the actor builds a character who uses his negotiating skills as an entrepreneur to rescue innumerable lives from danger.

Bollywood churns out on average 120 plus films a year, with 2014 reaching 142. So to think all of them will go down in history as being successful is rather naive. But what about the ones we thought would work wonders but came up short? The ones that left us thinking, “Why was this allowed past the editing board”? Even ones that somehow managed to cha-ching the money registers sky high. 2014 had its fair share of films that fit all these categories. BollySpice brings you the biggest disappointments of 2014.

The biggest hurdle that a remake has to cross is the passion of the fans of the original. Zanjeer 1974 was no ordinary film. There was so much to this film that made it extraordinary: classic in status, the Angry Young Man icon for Amitabh Bachchan, the genre shift from romance to action with story-telling and let’s not forget Mona Darling. Pretty hefty stuff if you think about it. Nevertheless, the fresh team for Zanjeer 2013 headed by Apoorva Lakhia, has had a debut, a comeback of sorts and enough off screen drama to give a bit of original hype to the remake. But hype doesn’t make up for audience impact nor an entertaining story. Ok so the original film was of the same simple story of revenge and action and yes, it had a bigger hand in Amitabh’s life than played by Ram Charan. But in the end,...

Bollywood isn’t exactly popular for good thrillers. Very few of those who claim to be of this genre actually manage to shock and surprise you with their storyline. Without doubt, Kahaani belongs to this elite group. From the moment of its amazing opening sequence you realize that this one is going to be an enjoyable roller coaster ride.
Sujoy Ghosh, who last awed us with his Jhankaar Beats, indeed brings to us ‘the mother of a story’ in Kahaani. Vidya Bagchi (Vidya Balan), heavily pregnant but determined, arrives in Kolkata in search of her missing husband. But was seems to be a simple missing person’s case turns out to be more twisted and complicated than expected. It’s Kolkata so yes, anything can happen. With things not what they seem to be and people not what they appear like, Vidya has to fight a lone battle and against time to find her husband.

Very often, actors are remembered more for their on-screen characters than their off-screen personas. And Akki boy's "Main toh hameesha sach bolta hoon, achi toh apne aap lagti hai" Happy Singh is one such character which has managed to stay in the hearts of his many fans even after two years of the movie Singh is Kinng's release. So much so that during his Patiala House shoot schedule in London, many Sikh fans requested him to bring back the character on-screen again. Vipul Shah and Akshay Kumar have decided to comply with the request with the announcement of the sequel: Singh is Kinng 2.
Unlike the first part, the sequel will be directed by Vipul himself and not Aneez Bazmee as he is busy with his prior commitments. "Yes, after much planning and plotting, and two years since the first film, we've finally cracked an idea that works. My writer...

Mumbai, July 3 – Before the brand runs out of steam, Akshay Kumar has decided to run the next instalment of ‘Singh Is Kinng’.
Vipul Shah, who was in two minds, has decided to direct the sequel since Anees Bazmi seems too busy.
‘Yes, after much planning and plotting, and two years since the first film, we’ve finally cracked an idea that works. My writer Suresh Nair and I are happy with what we’ve come up with. And yes I’ll be directing the sequel,’ Vipul said.
Though Vipul is not willing to reveal much of the plot for the sequel at this juncture, it’s reliably.

Vipul Shah who was in two minds has decided to direct the sequel since Anees Bazmee seems too busy to do the needful. Says Vipul, "Yes, after much planning and plotting, and two years since the first film, we've finally cracked an idea that works. My writer Suresh Nair and I are happy with what we've come up with. And yes I'll be directing the sequel." Though Vipul is not willing to reveal much of the plot for the sequel at this juncture - at least not on record - it's reliably learnt that the sequel would begin where the first Singh Is Kinng trailed off, namely in Australia and then move to another country, apparently Canada which is Akshay's second home. Akshay's haste to start Singh Is Kinng 2 has a root cause.

Apoorva Lakhia is turning producer with a supernatural thriller that will launch Ponds Femina Miss India 2006 Amruta Patki as its leading lady. Lakhia apparently chose the aspirant after auditioning almost a dozen newcomers. "I want to prove beauty queens can act," says Lakhia, though it's not Lakhia, but his assistant Sean Arranha who will direct Amruta Patki. Says Lakhia, "I won't only produce the film but also co-write it with Suresh Nair. Hide N Seek is about four friends played by Purab Kohli, Arjan Bajwa, Ayaaz Khan (Genelia's fiance in Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na) and Samir Kochhar whose terrible past catches up with them." Lakhia is taking his duties as a producer very seriously. "My director Sean is just a baby. We need to nurture new talent not intimidate them," says Lakhia probably referring to the way Lakhia was treated by his producer Sanjay Gupta during the making of Shootout At Lokhandwala.
