Director Vinod Kapri never runs out of ways to engage our senses in the most heightened state of emotional vulnerability. I can't begin to imagine how Kapri directed the child.

The much-awaited Thugs of Hindostan, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan among others has been released. While audiences are coming up with mixed reviews about the movie, critics share their views and opinion about the film.

Michael Myers, the masked marauder is back. 40 years is a long time to reboot a horror cult classic which pitched a suburban American housewife , played with a fiery yet reined-in intensity by Jamie Lee Curtis, against a serial killer who was to Hollywood what Raman Raghav was to Hindi cinema.

Crime and drama make for a deadly combination, and Mani Ratnam is one among the very few Indian filmmakers to have done full justice to the genres via films such as Nayagan and Thalapathi.

Based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story titled, Do Behnein, Pataakha is a tale of two feral, warring sisters, who love each other with a fierceness that stands beside their lifelong rivalry.

Director Nandita Das' Manto is a poignant and hard-hitting biopic about the controversial, Indo-Pakistani, Urdu short-story writer Sadat Hassan Manto. It is her tribute to Manto, albeit one she renders with honesty as she presents the celebrated writer with all his failings and greatness.

Film: Paltan; Director: J.P. Dutta; Starring: Arjun Rampal, Harshvardhan Rane, Gurmeet Chowdhary; Rating: **

It takes this revisionist version of "Laila Majnu" time to come its own. For a very long spell of storytelling director Sajid Ali lets the story spin out of control, spiralling and wobbling this way and that as we watch a spiffy but vacuous Laila indulging in what would qualify as serious eve-teasing if she were a man.

Inspired by a true story, Gali Guleiyan is an astutely mounted psychological drama that unfurls intriguingly. At the core of it is an interesting story of Khuddoos (Manoj Bajpayee), a brooding character living in denial, trapped within his locality and circumstances.

Stree story line revolves around an urban legend in Chanderi, where people are so innocent/naive that they believe that the moon, as referred to in nursery rhymes, as Chanda Mama is actually their uncle. The movie is set in a location where everyone is familiar with the fables of a strange woman who calls men by their name and abducts them, leaving their clothes behind.

Narrated in a linear manner, from the point-of-view of Tapan Das (Akshay Kumar) -- the hockey team's manager -- the film begins in Berlin 1936 when India won its third Gold medal for British occupied India.

Film: "Satyameva Jayate"; Director: Milap Zaveri; Cast: John Abraham, Manoj Bajpayee, Aisha Sharma and Amruta Khanvilkar; Rating: **1/2
