NH10


NH10: is a crime thriller film directed by Navdeep Singh. It stars Anushka Sharma, Neil Bhoopalam,Ravi Jhankal & Deepti Naval.The film is inspired from 2008 British thriller Eden Lake

PLOT: The plot revolves around an urban working couple Meera(Anushka) and Arjun(Neil Bhoopalam) who decide to go on a road trip.As they travel via the highway NH10, things quickly deteriorate when they witness an honor killing.

PERFORMANCES: Anushka Sharma is just brilliant.She delivers her best performance in this film.Neel Bhoopalam is ok.Darshan Kumar is good.Dipti Naval in a surprising role of her entire career is very good.

MUSIC: composed by Sanjeev-Darshan.The song "chhil gaye naina" is good composition.

The build-up in Navdeep Singh’s second feature is so tight, so tense, so horrifying that you can’t blink.He mixes genres in NH10 it is a road movie, crime drama, chase thriller and revenge tale rolled into one.He has left no stone unturned to make NH10 as cruel, brutal and hard-hitting as the real life incident.There is provocation, fear and tension that builds slowly and disturbs your mind and stays there for long.A well written script,tightly edited.
What makes it even more frightening is how utterly believable NH10.

overall,NH10 is a must watch film.This movie is not for faint hearted as this is extremely violent film.

BYOMKESH PHIRE ELO


BYOMKESH PHIRE ELO: is an  Indian thriller film on Bengali fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshi directed by Anjan Dutt featuring Abir Chatterjee,Saswata Chatterjee, Ushasie Chakraborty,Biswajit Chakraborty,Chandan Sen ,Kaushik Sen,Ankita Chakraborty,Rahul Banerjee,Ena Saha, Sampurna Lahiri.This is the third installment of Byomkesh series By Anjan Dutt.

PLOT: A rich businessman Benimadhab (Biswajit Chakraborty) lives with his son Ajay(Chandan Sen),daughter in law Arati(Locket Chatterjee),daughter Gayetri(Anjana),son in law Gangadhar(Koushik Sen),grand daughters Laboni(Sampurna) & Jhilli(Ena Saha),grandson Mokorondo(Subhra Sourav Das),nephew Sanat(Rahul).Benimadhab always thinks someone among his family members is trying to kill him, but could not find who.

PERFORMANCES: Abir as Byomkesh is very good as usual.I think he should continue portraying the character of Byomkesh.He fits in this role very much.Saswata in a cameo role again proves his ability.But Kaushik Sen is just brilliant as drunk,gambler son in law Gangadhar. Ankita as Medini,wife of Meghraj is also good.

Though the story is good,Anjan Dutt also shines again as director.Detailing,background score,sets are good.This is best Byomkesh film among the Byomkesh series directed by Anjan Dutt.

Overall,Byomkesh Phire Elo is a good film & is a must watch film.

N.B: Personally I feel that this time(for the 1st time also),the representation of Anjan Dutt in Byomkesh Phire Elo  is better than Sandip Roy in Badshahi Angti.

A very good & well directed script,sensitive topic,brilliant performances are the main USP of the film.Bt I feel that 1st half is better than 2nd half.Climax part should be more interesting.

Overall PK is a must watch film.Probably this is not Hirani's best film but it has elements of full entertainment.
