The loathsome behaviour exhibited by the sports regulatory authorities in the country is famous to the point of it being adapted into various Bollywood movies. The talent and grit of the athlete finally wins. This is one such storyline where a wronged Boxing champion turned coach finds talent in a fisher-woman and moulds her into a world champion. Though the storyline is clichéd and Ritika Singh goes ballistic spewing fire and anger to the extent of combusting spontaneously, good old Maddy is the reason you should watch this movie for. Plus, there are no dhin-chak item numbers, so you can finish the movie and go home in good time.

Joy
Joy, who is born into a disjointed family pursues her dream of patenting one of her inventions and realises that the journey of an entrepreneur is not so joyful after all. Braving the ruthless business world and family hurdles, she manages to establish herself as a businesswoman. The plot is clichéd and the screenplay wanting of momentum, but J Law's performance just about manages to pull it thru'. Catch a DVD or download it.

Airlift
Airlifting of 170,000 Indian refugees from Kuwait when Saddam's forces invaded it was no small effort pulled off by businessman Mathunny Mathews and Vedi in coordination with Air India. One of the largest evacuations in human history is captured well in this movie with Akshay fitting right into the role of the suave, hard-negotiating businessman Ranjit Katyal of Indian origin whose humanitarian streak is awakened seeing the plight of the stranded Indians well supported by the beautiful Nimrat Kaur who dons the role of his wife. A good watch.

Our Brand is Crisis
The services of a political strategist who went into retirement is solicited to salvage the sagging election campaign of a Bolivian presidential candidate. Sandra Bullock plays 'Calamity' Jane the strategist who finds her arch nemesis Pat Candy, played by Billy Bob Thornton in the opposing camp and it becomes an all out fight where only winning matters. Joaquim Almeida lends the arrogant but naive touch to Senator Castillo the candidate. If you like political drama / satire, this is a must watch.
Wazir
A tale of two men who share a similar fate end up building a friendship to uproot the very cause of their troubles. Though the movie starts off action packed, the storyline becomes a little too predictable in the second half. However, Big Bachchan delivers yet another powerful performance with hard hitting dialogues ably supported by Farhan Akhtar and Ms.Hydari lending the glam quotient. John and Neil Nitin do what they are best suited for - guest appearances. Watch it for Big B.
