Sanjay Dutt goes home finally!

After nearly three years of jail time, Sanjay Dutt is finally a free man today! The Vaastav actor made a grand comeback to free land, after being sentenced by the law for his illegal arms possession case. Dutt’s journey from jail to home has been widely reported by the media, where they showed him saluting the flag, taking blessing from the photos of his late father and mother, travel on a chartered flight with wifey Manyata and later giving bytes to the media about his experience!

Ki and Ka song and Kapoor and Sons song

Last week we get to witness two romantic songs from two different films Ki and Ka and Kapoor and sons. Ki and Ka song Ji Huzoori is composed and sung by Mithoon, and is a sad one since it shows the conflicts of the married couple, played by Kareena and Arjun Kapoor.

Meanwhile, Bolna from Kapoor and Sons, featuring Fawad Khan, Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt, is a more soulful romantic one. It is sing by Arijit Singh and Asees Kaur, and composed by Tanishk Bagchi.

Aligarh and Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive released

This week, there were two Bollywood releases – the hard-hitting real-life drama, Aligarh, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao, and is directed by Hansal Mehta. It is a biopic of an Aligarh university professor who was ostracized by the university for being gay, even losing his job in the process. The film follows his trials and tribulations to win his job back while suffering humiliation from the society for the choices he has made.

…The other film was Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive, the sequel to the 2010 surprise hit Tere Bin Laden. Manish Paul replaces Ali Zafar, the hero of the original film (though he appears in a cameo), while Pradhuman Singh and Piyush Mishra return. The film is directed by Abhishek Sharma.

Neerja gets the success it deserves

After a long time since Raanjhanaa, Sonam Kapoor finally got a film that she can show to her detractors and prove that she is more than just a PYT. Neerja is one of the best films I have watched in recent times, and Ram Madhvani, the director of the film, has crafted a superb biopic that’s a tightly knit real-life drama. The film has worked well at the box office, and still going strong thanks to a very strong word of mouth publicity! The makers will also be happy about the fact the film has been declared tax-free!
