So Hugo, who is liked by everyone, decides to set up the boys who stole his glory, and he knows a cocky adolescent's weak points are his pride and his girl. This Dixie Jago schemes to bring down a black Othello and his Cassius, playing into the poisonous power of jealousy, however badly this also hurts their loved ones and the whole team...

Mohabbatein













Sun, Nov 16, 08:00 PM


As
a strict disciplinarian, a stern man, a patriarchal figure, Amitabh strikes just the right note. On seeing the film, you realize that nobody but nobody else could have been Narayan Shankar.
Narayan Shankar is the head of a Gurukul, where he teaches all the rules and regulations of life with utmost commitment. He cherishes values and imparts them to his students with great fervor. There's only one thing that he does not tolerate (probably intentionally), does not profess, does not believe in, and that's love.

BHOOTHNATH






Sun, Nov 23, 08:00 PM



Bhootnath is an absolute fun movie, worth watching as per the reviews of Bhoothnath, that shows Amitabh in an absolutely different role, a character he never before played in his life. It also stars Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla. It is an entertaining movie that holds the attention of both children and adults. It shows a never seen before amazing relationship between a kid and a ghost. It's a must watch movie.
