Ans. Review of the film ‘ Padmaavat ‘.
In this historical film, based in 13th century India. Queen: Padmavati is happily married to a Rajput ruler Ratan Singh until a tyrant Sultan. Alauddin Khilji, enters their life and declares war on their kingdom due to his obsession with the queen. Khilji goes to great lengths to get her. The film, which was released in 2018. became a huge hit and went on to get many awards.
The main characters are Shahid Kapoor as the brave and valiant Ratan Singh: Deepika Padukone as the beautiful. vallant and loyal Rani Padmavati and Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji. Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh support them ably. The film undoubtedly belongs to Ranveer Singh who brings the fierce, greedy, barbaric Khilji to life on the screen. He is magnificent on the screen with his scarred face and kohl-lined eyes.
The film manages to convey the message of bravery, valour and pride in the face of obsession. Ratan Singh, shown to be a true Rajput, keeps his word to the evil Khilji, even though he knows that this may lead him to his death. Padmavati retains her purity and loyalty. The ending keeps one glued to their seats.
Some of the high points of the film are the dance ‘ghoomar’ and ‘khalibali’. The music and scenery are breath-taking. All in all, an excellent film, not to be missed.

Ans. Review of the film ‘ A Wednesday ‘.
This is a thriller made in 2008, which tells the story of certain events that take place between 2 and 6 p.m. on a Wednesday, when the city of Mumbai is held to ransom by a man who conveys to the police commissioner that he has placed bombs in strategic places in Mumbai. The locations will be revealed only when certain terrorists serving term in Mumbai jails are released and taken to a specified spot.
There are no songs and dances, but only background score. The film has only three main locales: the roof of an unfinished building somewhere in Mumbai, the police commissioner’s office and the runway of an airport.
The main characters are Naseeruddin Shah as the mysterious bomber, Anupam Kher as the police commissioner and Jimmy Shergill and Aamir Bashir as cops. Every character has played his part well. Naseeruddin Shah steals the show with his performance. His dialogue delivery is simply fantastic. Anupam Kher lends the role dignity, and he has executed it brilliantly.
Hundreds of innocent people met their end following the serial train bomb blasts in Mumbai. A Wednesday, not only questions the injustice done to the common man but also emphasizes his helplessness and anger.
A superb film with excellent performances. Not to be missed.
