A film directed by Rajat Kapoor starring Sanjay Mishra and Rajat Kapoor is a philosophical masterpiece in itself, shot in the suburb of Old Delhi, portraying every minute historical details of the place so beautifully.

Because of some past experiences and unwavering emotions, he decides to only believe in facts captured and seen from his own eyes rather than going by someone else’s perception. The story is a beautiful amalgamation and a very earnest representation of the life of an ordinary man and his search for his own truth.

The tension that surmounts his family in consequence to his decision as he begins to defy everything which he had not experienced reflects how thoughts and psychology of a lead man in a family can affect the entire house.

An Indian comedy film was written and directed by Nitin Kakkar, a cinematic piece of art and a beautiful representation of human relations and kinship in the pretext of political and ideological rivalry and extremism.

It is a story of a conman Subhas (Paresh Rawal) being roped in the plan of a one-time big producer Adenwalla’s (Naseeruddin) wife (Neha Dhupia) to come into possession of her dead husband’s (Nasiruddin Shah) property after her husband commits suicide leaving behind a 24 crore insurance, which now goes invalid. The duo makes a plan to make his suicide look a murder splitting the loot over a fair deal of two halves.

A 2009 Shyam Benegal’s film not many people talk about is Well Done Abba. A political satire featuring Boman Irani, Manisha Lamba, and Sameer Dattani in pivotal roles. It is a remake of a 2007 Marathi film, Jau Tithe Khau.

The film is about a Muslim man from Hyderabad, Armaan Ali (Boman Irani) who works as a driver in Mumbai, and takes leave to visit his village and finds that the village is suffering from water scarcity. What entails after is a hilarious sequence of several events and a common man’s fight for the basic need of water amongst severely corrupt government officials in his parched native.

Amidst all this, the legendary Director Shyam Bengal leaves no stone unturned to make the viewers feel that they are watching a splendid little folktale on screen. Boman Irani’s excellence in acting wins the heart and the rich Hyderabadi culture depicted via the movie becomes an additive push to its yet another USP.

The film keeps you entertained and at the same time educates the audience about raising their voices against the unjust, no matter even if you are alone. With an IMDb rating of 7.3, which is a pretty decent one, the film is highly entertaining.
