'Abhi na jao chhod kar ke dil abhi bhara nahin...' - the film's anthemic love ballad, regarded as one of the finest love songs ever composed for Hindi cinema, rings through your heart after the lengthy film is done - and let's face it, nearly three hours of playing - time for a long-forgotten war saga can get tedious when you have the next chapter in the Egyptian civil-war waiting at home.

The shot that killed a vivacious, aspiring model Jessica Lall was fired in the presence of more than 100 'socialites' present at a party in New Delhi. Yet, accused Manu Sharma walked free in 2006 prompting a newspaper headline that read 'No One Killed Jessica'.

Film: “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se”; Director: Ashutosh Gowariker; Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Sikandar Kher, Vishakha Singh; Rating: ****
There’s ongoing sense of serenity compounded by a feeling of sincerity and transparency in the cinema of Ashutosh Gowariker. This filmmaker never hides life’s most essential truth in cinematic subterfuge. Rather, Gowariker goes the other way.

Film: “Guzaarish”; Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Monikangana Dutta, Suhel Seth; Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali; Rating: *****
Breathe a sigh of relief. During a year when cacophonic crassness masquerading as comic entertainment has been sanctioned by critics and the masses, “Guzaarish” comes along to remind us that excellence is alive in our cinema.

Allah Ke Banday movie review

A feeling of foreboding and damnation builds up in the narration from the first frame itself. Here's a gloriously gutsy film exploring the underbelly of Mumbai through the lives of two slum kids who grow up in identical circumstances, but with somewhat disparate values.
