Page-3 movie review

Madhur Bhandarkar has always believed in tackling varied themes in his films. From TRISHAKTI, his directorial debut, to AAN, his last release, his films have had something to say. Irrespective of their box-office outcome, the fact cannot be denied that Madhur is an avid storyteller.

Madhur?s latest endeavour PAGE 3 also tackles an unusually realistic theme.

As the title suggests, PAGE 3 delves into the lives of the rich and famous. It takes potshots at the upper strata ? right from gay fashion designers, to struggling actors, to social workers, to socialites. Even the media isn?t spared!

PAGE 3 takes the viewer to a world that?s surreal, where relationships and friendships are capricious, where people lead dual lives, sporting a [false] mask all the while. In short, PAGE 3 exposes, ridicules, mocks and scoffs at the lives of Page 3 personalities.

Fiddler on the Roof was inarguably one of the most beloved stage musicals of the second half of the 20th century. Based on a series of short stories by Ukranian writer Sholom Aleichem (the "Jewish Mark Twain"), the Harold Prince production opened on Broadway in September 1964. More than seven years later, when Norman Jewison's screen version was released, millions around the world were already familiar with the story of Tevye and his family. The motion picture adaptation further widened Fiddler on the Roof's audience and increased interest in the long-running play.

Great Dictator review

The Great Dictator is about the violence of war, the corrupting influence of power, decency struggling against madness, and the persecution of Jews during World War II. It’s also one of the funniest movies ever made, and such a pleasure to watch that you’ll barely notice that it’s deeply political and deadly serious.
Charles Chaplin made the movie while the U.S. was still technically at peace with Nazi Germany, and many were still pushing to keep Americans out of the “European war.” The full horrors of the Holocaust hadn’t yet come to light, but Chaplin’s film was a prescient assault on Hitler and National Socialism.
