Yeh Hai Bakrapur Movie Review

Yeh Hai Bakrapur Movie Review

Yeh Hai Bakrapur, social satire flick that very well depicted the backdrop of rural India, is directed by Janaki Vishwanathan and produced by Ramesh S Arunachalam. The multi-layered film stars Anshuman Jha, Asif Basra, Suruchi Aulakh, Faiz Khan, Yoshika Verma, Shameem Khan, Amit Sial and Utkarsh Majumdar.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur was screened at the 37th Göteborg International Film Festival and was also the part of The Film Bazaar and premiered at the Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image, 2013 Festival as well. Music is composed by Agnee in the hilarious and comedy genre movie. Let's read the movie review and story.

The plot of the movie dwells the relationship between eight year old Zulfi Qureshi and his pet goat Shahrukh, living in a rural area of India. As, Quereshi's family is well known in that area, so the pet goat becomes the pivot of attention for all.

According to the movie review, irreverent fable on blind faith, poverty and religious hypocrisy that seems satirical sustenance in the authentic rural Muslim milieu unable to overwhelm the audience, as much polishing was required in the presentation. Neither crux nor climax of Yeh Hai Bakrapur is impressive and quite predictable.

The performance of star cast is also average and they could have done better. But, Bollywood flick has humour that promises a smile and smirk after seeing rural India where every second citizen is a certifiable attention-seeker. The narration part has many leak points, as per the movie reviews.

Hilarious characters very well woven the story that exhibits the face of today's real greedy man and mock at social issues prevailing in the society. All in all, Yeh Hai Bakrapur movie is one time watch flick that goes average.

Manjunath Movie review

Manjunath Movie review:

Manjunath is the autobiographical movie directed by Sandeep Varma who has also developed the screenplay of the movie. The venture was funded with contributions from Manjunath Shanmugam Trust, director Sandeep and others who supported Sandeep's nobel project.

The identity of the lead actor who will play role of Manjunath has been kept secret. The only information that has been revealed is that he is a young South Indian actor. The other important members of the star cast are Seema Biswas, Yashpal Sharma, Divya Dutta, Kishor Kadam and Rajesh Khattar. Now, let's take a look at the movie review of this venture which is based on real events.

Manjunath revolves around the life and social crusade of 27 year old Manjunath. Manjunath who was IIM Lucknow alumnus, was a marketing manager of an oil corporation, the capacity in which he uncovered a big oil adulteration scandal.

Manjunath movie was threatened and tempted with bribes to roll over and to let the nexus run unchecked. However, honest and upright Manju decides to fight for the right cause, and for which he is killed on duty. The movie focusses on the ethical questions which his death raised and the impact his killing head on the society.

Director Sandeep Varma is said to have done in-depth research into the events that led to the Manju's killing. And, the work clearly shows in the movie, as it has touch of reality and unadulterated portrayal of the truth. Varma masterfully weaves all the elements of Manju's life to make a poignant and moving movie.

The lead actor who plays Manjunath's role has done an outstanding job. The other actors have also given a good performance, with experienced campaigners Divya Dutta and Yashpal Sharma shinning in particular.

The idea to sign Parikarma to compose the music of the movie is also a masterstroke as their music amplifies movies authenticity. In a nutshell, in the era when we are throwing obscene amount of money on some ridiculous movies, Manjunath deserves to be watched atleast once.

Mastram movie review

Mastram movie review:

Mastram is fictional autobiographical drama directed by debutante Akhilesh Jaiswal who had earlier written script of acclaimed movies such as 'Gangs Of Wasseypur'. Jaiswal has also teamed up with Gunjan Saxena to write the unique script of the movie.

Rahul Bagga is cast in the leading role, while Tara-Alisha Berry, Vinod Nahardih, Istiyak Khan and Akash will feature in supporting roles. Tara will be making her acting debut with this movie. In our movie review, let's analyse that whether this bold and unique movie, other than erotic quotient has anything worthwhile to appreciate.

Mastaram revolves around the literary ambitions of Rajaram who, a small town bank clerk who wants to become an accomplished writer. With the only support of his wife, he quits his job to focus on writing, but fails to find a publisher for his works.

Finally, one publisher accepts to publish his work but only on one condition that he should add masala to his story. He is unable to find-out what exactly masala is until one tea vendor shows him the spicier side of life. Thus, Mastram is born whose pornographic novels become bestsellers.

Over the past couple of years, the upcoming directors have embraced the experimental cinema and have made some bold and courageous choices. And, Jaiswal certainly is one of them as he dextrously exposes the hypocrisy of the society through the fictional tale of Mastaram movie. The script of the movie is well written and well executed onto the screen.

The star cast of the movie has also done a decent job. The pick of them is Rahul who has played the lead role with aplomb. He aptly portrays Raghuram's concerns, disappointments and conflicts with distinction. The only negative problem is that the intensity and quality of the movie dips in some sequences.

Khwaabb Movie Review

Khwaabb Movie Review

Khwaabb, sports-drama movie is directed by Zaid Ali Khan and produced by a prominent sports shooter and Arjuna Award winner Moraad A Khan. Bollywood movie starring Navdip Singh, Simran Motiani, Nafisa Ali and Bajrang Bali Singh in lead roles. Read on movie story and review that shows the life of an athlete and their dream (Khwaabb) to win an Olympic medal for India.

The plot of Khwaabb is about the dream, ambition and the dying passion that every individual have, to achieve his dream, but failed due to some reason. The journey of an ambitious and sports loving guy is set in the administrative world of Indian sports. Movie very well demonstrate why India with a population of 1.2 billion people cannot produce medal-winning athletes.

Movie showcases how raw talent gets wasted or destroyed by corrupt politicians and power hungry officials. One such athlete struggle to succeed in the cut-throat, corrupted and dirty world of Indian sports. In his journey, athlete has to give up everything to follow his dream, is the core of Khwaabb movie.

According to the movie review, the script and dialogues of the movie are unique and impressive. Saga of sports is appealing that scored good comments and manages to entangle the audience throughout the film. Despite new faces are introduced, but they have done full justice with their role.

Instead, music of the movie is average and flow well with the movie. Lack of narration in many sequels appeared. The story of movie lacks coherency, flow and direction as well. Director Zaid Ali Khan does try to highlight the existing problem prevailing in Indian sports, but overall fails to make good movie.
