In the tradition of film noir that is guaranteed to shock, thrill and surprise. A compelling film from the national award winning director Hansal Mehta, about swiftly changing moralities in today's world.

After a successful businessman's stunning wife disappears, hostile & taunting ransom demands follow. As the true nature of stakes for the captor and his captives unfold, Woodstock Villa lithely transforms from a precision neo noir into a chilling & shocking thriller & ultimately into a vivid, invigorating icy masterpiece of murder, mystery, and suspense.

Neither pleading eyes nor bound wrists, nor a shallow grave are what they seem as a moment of relief is suddenly transformed into a web of deceit and a moment of truth is followed by a sudden web of lies.

Unsettling, thrilling, hallucinatory, suspenseful & erotic, Woodstock Villa is contemporary entertainment that breaks new ground with every twist.

Aamir, the name literally means leader and our protagonist (Rajeev) becomes a follower not because of faith, not out of zeal but out of 'fear'. Geographically Aamir's maze is set in the Muslim dominated, but poor, areas of Bombay. In its lanes and by lanes, cheap restaurants and lodges, amongst nameless pimps and whores, run-down buildings and over-crowded markets, filth and squalor, Aamir is supposed to understand the life he has lived, the 'choices' he has made, his dreams, his loves and his immediate fears.

Through the course of one day lost in the streets of Mumbai the question remains that do you choose your destiny, or does destiny choose you, and whether Aamir chooses to be a follower or become a leader.

Thanks for your updates, Indizen! I've totally been out of touch with the releases lately.

Re: Sarkar Raj - I'm not so sure I can handle that many Bachchans in one flick - couldn't they at least through Jaya in as well

Lord Vishnu is regarded as the Supreme Being, protecting the Gods as well as mortals like us, from evil; and he has done so by incarnating in ten avatars -

Matsya, Kurm, Varaha, Narsimha, Parshuram, Vaman, Ram, Krishna, Gautam Buddha, and Kalki.

The larger-than-life saga hurtles through a sequence of heroic exploits of the various avatars of Lord Vishnu and is packed with action, drama and adventure. Dashavatar explores the origin and the dynamism of each of these avatars, woven into an interesting narrative. It promises to be a magnum opus with a superlative quality of animation, voices of many acclaimed actors and mellifluous music. Dashavatar has a fascinating story telling pattern in which the old world sensitivities would appeal to the modern mind.

When love is not madness, it is not love…

Haal-e-Dil is about the same neurotic madness that one suffers from when stuck in the maze called love. It's a young love story of people who'd go any lengths to loose themselves as smoke loses itself to the sky. They'd go any lengths to fuse that they'd not know where one ended and another began.
