Independence,the killing of Gandhi,Sikh riots followed by the organised demolition of the Babri Masjid is the chronology of India's road to perdition.On the 5th of August 2020 the Bhoomi Pujan of the Ayodhya temple shall be done on the pathetic ruins of the Muslim mosque of centuries officially sanctioned by a servile and sold out Supreme Court.This documentary records the events that led to this dastardly act.The blackest day of secular I dia ... purchased and compromised Supreme Court.

Unusually fair to our neighbour, Pakistan.the latter wins many a heart deservedly as jingoistic filmgoers make peace with the heartless and suicidal demands of the cloak and dagger.the story could have added a boot camp training for Alia maybe NCC to carry conviction on her selection.Alia is lucky to have bagged the role for which many more deserving could kill.sharp acting and inspirational lyrics woven round old fashioned composition style keeps the noirish romantic spy thriller lazily spell binding.Casablanca foolishly I am reminded of.Meghna would not have disappointed his more illustrious father, for sure.very watchable with the family.

A scientific thriller that oscillates between science and mythology,fact and fiction and the intermingling of the past,present and future.Why should be this classed as Indo-Anglian literature.It is as much relevant for those that find the practice of sati fascinating as to those who see the West as the fount of technology.The writing keeps you on the edge throughout and as does the bizarre imagination of the author.Just when you thought it cannot be,Ghost brings in that doubt.Rad it up especially during these days of the Covid virus.

Sadly the local dialect, realistically used ,works against the intelligibility of the film- what with a homogenised and sterile Hindi ironically being the staple for most.Great acting by all dominated by a Manoj,refreshing Ranvir Sheorey and a rather urban Rajput is suitably backed up with a pale and egg yolkish coloured cinematography reminding of the ravines always.The music is localised and topical while the dialogue,script and story is taut with a generous helping of frequent expletives.The director Abhisekh Chaubey stirs and impresses and this is a happy augury for Indian cinema.The evils of caste and patriarchy,abusive Thakurs and the trapped story of the Dalits is grippingly portrayed.

It was nice seeing the erstwhile Soviet Union recognised for their bravery,courage and skill.Especially their humanity and fierce sense of patriotism. The German counterpart has also been fairly portrayed for his superior soldiering virtues of love for the country and sense of duty rather than a misplaced sense of the hatred of the enemy. The action is deadly and real.The visuals life like and deceptive.the acting is top class and very real.Tha tank does not dwarf the man.
