SARBJIT MOVIE REVIEW

sarbjit is the movie based on real life incident that took place with a farmer of punjab,who is incarcerated to pakistan jail for over two decades and his sister doodged battle for his release. The  male hero is sarbjit (Randeep hooda) and female lead is dalbir (Aishwariya rai bachan) , sukh(Riccha chadda) . Randeep hooda is the only person worth watching , aishwariya is quite disappointing . the story revolves around a village in punjab close to indo-pak border , unfortunately sarbjit strayed over the line one night and was nabbed by pakistani patrol and is then kept in a box in a very distorted condition , hung up side down and flayed until a false confession and was thrown into jail.this is where dalbir becomes anguish , fights against the political system . but her appeal fall mostly on deaf ears and her acting is nothing to shout about. the family is cleft in a terrible condition neither they could mourn or fight. the movie succeeds in weeping you and affects you mentally , and makes you cry on the physical torture that sarbjit has to face.

The director omung kumar lacks in directorial skills as such a strong story with such a great strong points is not executed well , the story includes melodrama and lots of things to be shown . aishwariyas speech in which she mocks on government turns out to be hyperbole although the movie raises eyebrows on the working of Indian government .The horror of human forced to physical and mental torture, and used as a political pawn between India -Pakistan and their see-saw relation is wrenching.

The movie is must watch but all credit goes to randeep hooda , he makes you feel as if you are seeing real sarbjit .

Movie review - Baaghi

The movie starts with martial arts champion Raghav (Villain) kidnapping Sia (Shraddha kapoor) from her film's set, eventually taking her to Bangkok. Sia's father P. P. Khurana (Sunil grover) along with producer of the movie goes to each possible government offices for seeking help regarding the matter but no one is ready to help them, since Raghav is a powerful man. Khuraana knows that only man can now save Sia from Raghav, Ronny (Tiger sharof)
The movie then goes into flashback, where it is seen Ronny & Sia travelling in a train. Raghav is also travelling in the same train. Raghav sees Sia & and ask his men to get her details. In the meanwhile, Ronny misses his train due to a misunderstanding created by Sia, causing her guilty. Ronny visits the school of Guruswamy  in Kerala. According to a letter given by his father, Ronny's father believes him to be a Baaghi (one who never obeys anyone's order). Thus, asking Guruswamy to make him a good human being. Ronny there meets Sia. Sometimes later, they fall in love. Sia gives him a precious ring (given by her father) & asks him to always keep it with him. Meanwhile, Raghav asks for Sia's hand from Khuraana, who under a certain sum of money is ready to marry her daughter with Raghav. Later Khurana sees Sia's ring in Ronny's hand, & tells it to Raghav. Who believes to even kill Ronny if he didn't broke his relationship with Sia. Guruswamy hears it, and refuses Raghav to do it any cost until he's alive. Raghav later poison's & kills Guruswamy. Khuraana, along with Raghav arrests Ronny to police & knowingly bails him out so that Sia does not believes over Ronny who tells her the real drama planned by her father. Khuraana even injures himself & shows Sia, a duplicate of ring which she gave to Ronny. So that she may hate him.
Back in the present, Ronny reaches Bangkok. Along with the help of Harry (Indian citizen) he visits a local fight club, & wins over the famous fighter Lord so as to get some attention. Next day, Some local goons chases him, and in a action-packed fighting sequence he wins over them to get the address of Viju (special man of Raghav). He breaks open into Viju's house & sets his wife asking him the location of Sia. Ronny then visits the hospital where Sia is admitted by Raghav, & in the disguise of a doctor manages to get into the ward. Sia swoons a nurse, & in her disguise they both try to escape the hospital. They are caught by Raghav. But somehow they are successful in escaping the hospital. On there way back to India, Sia sees her ring still in Ronny's hand. Ronny then unfolds the real drama planned by her father & Raghav. They again fall in love. However, Raghav again caught them both, & Viju fires onto Ronny who falls into a lake.
However, sometimes later it is seen that Ronny is alive & returns, since no bullet was fired by Viju (as Viju believed Ronny to be correct in his place). Raghav kills Viju. Ronny is successful to get to Raghav. However, Raghav overpowers him. But when Ronny hears it was only Raghav who killed Guruswamy, he uses the tactics of Guruswamy, & in a jawdropping action sequence, he kills Raghav. Later, Ronny along with Sia visits Guruswamy's school where now stands a statue of Guruswamy in place of his seat.
