Haider (Hindi, 2014)
In bringing out the struggle that the people of Kashmir faced with the AFSPA and twining it with the plot of Hamlet, Vishal Bharadwaj has managed to take a path less known to not only bring out the realities, but also hold the viewers in its essence and undulations! Haider will remain long to be spoken about for its depiction!
Yaan (Tamil, 2014)
With great hype comes greater burden of meeting expectations – ‘Yaan’ falls prey to this adage as it flounders at the start and fails to keep on its feet as it is dealt several body blows due to a weak script, poor execution and ill-advised knots in the storyline. A good one to give a miss!
Madras (Tamil, 2014)
For most of us it’s just a wall – For some it’s an identity. When the fight for identity breaks out from the confinements of individual desires, there can’t be neutrals. ‘Madras’ is a uniquely presented tale of a neutral person who is forced to take a side, presented in a natural yet impactful style!
Jeeva (Tamil, 2014)
Suseenthiran shows that even the so-called clichés can be crafted to one’s advantage & his non-manipulative handling of emotions makes Jeeva, a gripping MUST-WATCH drama.
The Hundred-Foot Journey (English, 2014)
