OMG - Oh My God!

Kanji Lalji Mehta is an atheist who owns an antique store in Mumbai. When an earthquake hits the city, it leaves his store in shambles and.the "Act of God" clauses leaves his insurance claim in the dust. Mr. Mehta then decides to file a law suite against God which causes an uproar in the city and drags a few prominent God men and woman in to the court. A satirical comedy that makes fun of the state of religion in India and one that could touched the genius scale if it had been given the 90s Srinivasan treatment

Delhi 6

Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) comes to India accompanying his grandmother (Waheeda Rehman) who wants spend her last days in the Chandini Chowk district, where her life began. The magical Old Delhi area is show in its full pomp. Soon the very hot and bubbly Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) enters the scene and love is in the air. But what should have been a decent and immensely watchable commercial flick is turned in to garbage by the intrusion of the Kala Bandar. On its heels comes communal strife and the film starts to wander around without an anchor. Even the strong supporting cast led by Om Puri cannot save the day for this move that ends up in no mans land between a political drama and a love story.

Shoot on Sight

The aftermath of the July 7th bombings in London leads to Scotland Yard issuing an shoot on sight order on people suspected of terrorist activities. Predictably innocent blood is shed. Command Tariq Ali (Naseeruddin Shah) is assigned to investigate the incident. Family conflicts and work pressures mount as the road blocks mount around his inquiry. A film that ponders the changing life for Muslims in this post 9/11 world but proceeds down a very beaten path.

Dev

Govind Nihalani has tried very hard to portray the politically driven Hindu - Muslim conflict in India and kudos to him for that. But the film falls well short. He should learn from this film. The overall theme and concept is good but the direction and screenplay lacks focus causing your attention to waver. The acting from Amitabh Bachan and the Puris are alright. Fardeen Kahn and Kareena Kapoor should go back to acting school.
