BRAIDED LIVES Siddarth, Geeta and Vikram play out their lives against the backdrop of the Emergency
Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (Hindi)
Talking about Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, director Sudhir Mishra said it is a film all youngsters should see to understand the goings on in their parents' era - and that is just one of the reasons for watching this brilliantly made film.
The film opened to a very positive buzz at the International Film Festival of India last year at Goa.
Set in the Seventies, the film follows the fortunes and loves of three young people.
There is Siddharth Tyabji a radical idealist, Geeta Rao who loves Siddarth and Vikram, who is hopelessly in love with Geeta. We are introduced to the trio as college students.
The threesome's lives are intricately joined and as the nation goes into Emergency, they should make some tough choices.

Main Aisa Hi Hoon (Hindi)
Harry Baweja's Main Aisa Hi Hoon is the Bollywood take on the Sean Penn starrer I am Sam.Ajay Devgan plays Indraneel Thakur, a grown man with the mind of a seven-year old.
His world revolves around his seven-year-old daughter Gungun whose mum, Maya, (played by Esha Deol) vanishes after delivering the child.
Things change when Maya's father Dayanath files for custody of the child.
Enter lawyer Neeti (Sushmita Sen) who learns a great deal from Indraneel's approach to life.
Kingdom of Heaven (English)
After ancient Rome (The Gladiator) and Somalia (Black Hawk Down), director Ridley Scott turns to the Medieval ages for a brutal, bloody look at the Crusades. The movie has stirred up a storm for its representation of Saladin as a decent guy. There are also echoes of the present scenario in this battle between Christians and Muslims.
We will have to wait and watch what spin Scott has put into the tale a thousand years in the making.
