It is an amazing story of two sisters-in-law, Prakashi and Chandro Tomar living in a family with their grandchildren in Johri village of Uttar Pradesh. The story emerges from a society dominated by patriarchy when they take to shooting after age sixty, against the conventional life of women resigned to live in.

The Best Of Emraan Hashmi Is Yet To Come

Emraan Hashmi is one of those actors in Bollywood that have established their mettle through their talent and outstanding performances in movies one after the other. The actor has received around three film fare nominations and is considered as one of the more established actors working in the film industry today. It wasn’t an easy start for the actor. He had his fair share of films that were panned by the critics but things took a turn for the good with his performance as a conman in Jannat. It was the year 2008 that marked a turning point with Jannat. The role of a conman donned by Hashmi was so well played that both the audiences and the critics were bowled over.

Movies that changed the world

At times, cinema can be both a mirror to the society and a thought-provoking tool. These are some movies which changed the way society thinks drastically. A Girl in the River Directed by Oscar-winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, this movie depicted the reality of today’s world and how honour killing is a severe issue in the society of Pakistan. This movie led the Pakistani government to review its laws regarding honour killing. Blackfish This documentary showed how the Orcas are kept in harsh captivity and how it is harmful to their habitat, and this brought a massive change of the Shamu attractions being completely shut down by SeaWorld.

Cathy Come Home Director Ken Loach brought the issue of homelessness in the spotlight, which was not acknowledg...

Jayeshbhai Jordaar film Review: Ranveer Singh goes clearly in an ungainly mashup of different issues

  Just before Jayeshbhai acquaints his relatives with us, he draws a somewhat senseless relationship between researchers needing to be aware of Mars and his folks needing to be aware of the orientation of his kid. What's normal between a planet a lady's womb? Indeed, they're both round (gol) in shape. Some Gujju humor to fix the tone and assumptions. Chief Divyang Thakkar gives the disclaimer in the primary scene itself that 'pre-natal sex assurance test is a culpable offense'. Furthermore, the whole reason of   Jayeshbhai Jordaar   is revolved around this. At times a star sparkles most splendid in a characterless film. Ranveer Singh is jordaar and all the more yet even with all his appeal and sincere exertion Jayeshbhai Jordaar is significantly "bore-daar". Unfortunately, honest goals alone rarely make extraordinary movies! The requirement for a male successor is driving Jayeshbhai and his family insane. The pregnant bahu Mudra Ben (Shalini Pandey) is lyi...
