Reviews on new movies released

WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR

Malgudi Days took you back in time; WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR gives you a ride to your village life. For some, it will bring back life spent in villages during summer vacations and for others, memories of a life they have left behind for the proverbial search of a pot of gold in the city.



Saas Bahu Aur Sensex
Shyam Benegal takes us through a cute ride through a contemporary village where the central character is an aspiring novelist, who has to satisfy his lust for writing by helping the illiterate villagers in writing letters. It's a small business for Mahadev (Shreyas Talpade), and he writes some interestingly witty, some intensely passionate letters to help people achieve their results. In effect, the villagers throng to him because they feel he has some magic in his pen. There's a little bit of saas bahu bickering and a little bit of sensex understanding, but more of a love triangle. In short, the movie has nothing to do with Saas, Bahu or Sensex. That out of the way, you focus on director Shona Urvashi's sister Masumeh, giving shot's in 'one take' with that of Tanushree Duttas '20'. That's what the media reports said prior to the films release, but what one sees is Tanushree, looking slim and sexy, walking with the best shots, probably given in max 5 takes! While Tanushree's character 'Nitya' is well carved out, Masumeh's 'Kirti' is sketchy at best.


Hulla
Sushant Singh (Raj) is a successful broker who is the star performer in his company. His wife Kartika Rane (Abha) is successful, too, in her marketing firm. Both are doing well financially and they move to a two-bedroom flat. Life seems to be rosy. Soon, their sleep is shattered. Actually, not Abha's, but Raj's. There's this incessant blowing of whistle and banging of the stick by the night watchman. On inquiring with the guard, Raj learns that this is the secretary's orders to keep the robbers at bay and also to ensure that the watchman does not sleep while on duty.
