Story :
Begum Jaan (Vidya Balan) owns
a brothel house and she stays
with her girls in a huge Kotha
leading a careless life. It is after
Independence, the proposal
of partition between India and
Pakistan that starts troubling
Begum Jaan. She receives
notices from the government
to vacate the Kotha and she
seeks the help of local king
(Naseeruddin Shah) after she
refuses to vacate. After she
refuses to bend under pressure,
INC leader Hariprasad (Ashish
Vidyarthi) and Muslim league
leader, Illyas (Rajit Kapoor) find
violent ways to threaten her to
leave. Watch Begum Jaan to
know what happens next.
Analysis :
Right from the first frame, Begum
Jaan misses the clarity throughout.
The film has some realistic and
stunning episodes that surprise
the audience and it is Vidya Balan
who tries hard to save the film but
could not. The first half has some
engaging episodes which make the
film passable. The performances
by the lead cast sure makes lot of
difference. On the whole the first half
of Begum Jaan is slightly decent but
not up to the mark.
The second half which is quite
crucial for such films fails miserably
in all the available ways. The film
has some interesting plot but it is the
screenplay and the narration which
makes Begum Jaan fall flat. Vidya
Balan’s stupendous and fearless
performance has been utterly
wasted throughout. The pre-climax
episodes kill the film completely
and a decent climax makes no
difference. On the whole the second
half of Begum Jaan is a huge failure
in all the available ways.
Final Word:
Begum Jaan makes no impact
despite of the power-packed
performance by Vidya Balan and
team. The cluttered plot runs out
because of the poor narration
that makes the film a huge
disappointment.

Story :
Noor is the story of Noor Roy
Chaudary (Sonakshi Sinha)
who works for a news agency
headed by Sekhar Das (Manish
Choudary). Noor wants to get
some sensational news on
board; she has been forced
to cover some uninteresting
local news. She has two best
friends, Zara Patel (Shibani
Dandekar), a DJ and Saad
( Kannan Gill). Malti (Smita
Tambe) unknowingly divulges
some shocking details to Noor
after which she starts an enquiry
about her brother’s health. This
is during this time, Noor finds a
big story. The rest of the movie
is all about what happens next.
Analysis :
The first half of Noor offers
nothing and it takes much
time to reveal the major plot.
The first half an hour is utterly
wasted and it offers nothing.
The entertainment at parts is a
huge relief for the audience and
the major plot has many loop
holes that make the audience
feel a huge let down. With some
interesting episodes, the first half
of Noor offers nothing and is a
disappointment. With not many
commercial elements, Noor is
completely foolish.
The second half of Noor travels
interesting for sometime however
the film dips down badly at
the much needed time. Some
of the logics look baseless
and most of the episodes look
faked. Sonakshi’s character has
not been written well and the
climax of Noor has interesting
aspects. With an interesting
plot, the director fails to make
an engaging film. Noor is sure a
massive disappointment in all the
available ways.
Final Word:
Noor is a film that lacks
interesting narration and is a
huge disappointment. Sonakshi
Sinha shines in the assigned role
and Noor has been good at parts.

Story :
Mister is all about the story of
Chai (Varuntej) who values
relations and emotions than
money. He meets Meera (Hebah
Patel) accidentally and falls for
her. However at the right time
when he is about to propose his
love, Meera reveals her love
story. An unexpected incident
brings Chai to India after
which he meets Chandramukhi
(Lavanya Tripathi). The rest
of Mister is all about how Chai
stands strong solving all his
problems and how he wins his
love. Watch Mister to know
about the triangular love story.
Analysis :
The first half of Mister is all about
framing the important characters
of the film. The entertainment
throughout the film has been decent
and impressive. Though the plot
looks deviated, the director manages
to comeback soon. The songs look
decent and they have been placed,
shot well. The interval episodes look
interesting and on the whole the first
half of Mister is sure a decent watch
if keep back your expectations. The
interesting twists throughout keep the
audience engaging.
The second half of Mister
lacks interesting episodes. The
entertainment dips down completely
and the unwanted episodes deviates
the major plot. The 20 minute long
hospital episode will sure leave the
audience irritated and is the major
letdown for the film. The pre-climax
episodes have been dragged too
much and it is the climax that makes
the film interesting and emotional. On
the whole the second half of Mister is
a huge downfall.
Final Word:
Mister is one more disappointment
from Srinu Vaitla as the film offers
nothing interesting throughout.
Varuntej, Lavanya Tripathi and
Hebah Patel have been emotional
and impressive in the journey which
alone cannot save the film.

Story :
Baahubali: The Conclusion is
all the about the questions that
have been left unanswered
during Baahubali: The
Beginning. The movie is all
about the story of Mahendra
Baahubali (Prabhas) who
has been explained about the
kingdom of Mahismathi and
about the royal king Amarendra
Baahubali (Prabhas). Baahubali:
The Conclusion will explain how
Mahendra Baahubali saves his
mother Devasena (Anushka)
from Bhallaladeva (Rana
Daggubati) and conquers the
kingdom of Maahismathi. Watch
Baahubali: The Conclusion to
know about the complete story.
Analysis :
Baahubali: The Conclusion is
much lavish and vast than the
first installment of the movie.
Mixed with right emotions
and action, Baahubali: The
Conclusion will impress the
audience to the core. Rajamouli
made sure each and every
question of the audience will
be answered in the movie. The
action episodes have been
completely destructive and the
songs have been an eye feast.
The emotional drama has been
well narrated throughout and
the first half of Baahubali: The
Conclusion is truly an epic and
will live up the expectations. Each
and every frame of the film has
been impressive.
The second half of Baahubali:
The Conclusion is all about the
emotional journey and the major
story of the film unfolds here.
The crucial episodes have been
well showcased and the action
episodes carried the film well.
Though the emotional content
makes the film slow, the grand
visuals along with the VFX and
the production values make the
film sit on the top. SS Rajamouli
should be widely appreciated
for his stupendous presentation
throughout the movie. The
destructive climax will sure
leave the audience disturbing.
On the whole the second half of
Baahubali: The Conclusion is an
epic.
Final Word:
Baahubali: The Conclusion is
a film that should not be given
a miss for the spectacular
performances, grand VFX work,
epic performances and lavish
production values. At the top, SS
Rajamouli’s directorial abilities
make the film a must watch.

protagonists in several top-
grossing action-dramas,
including Rowdy Rathore
(2012), Son of Sardaar
(2012), Dabangg 2 (2012) and
Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off
Duty (2014), though she was
criticised for taking up roles
that offered her limited scope.
She received critical acclaim
for her portrayal of a woman
suffering from tuberculosis in
the romantic drama Lootera
(2013), for which she was
nominated for the Filmfare
Award for Best Actress in
2013. She sung a small part
in the Imran Khan song "Let's

Shatrughan Sinha and her
mother Poonam Sinha are
actors in Hindi Cinema.
Her father is now a political
member of Bharatiya Janata

minute video PSA, urging
everyone to adopt animals
and have them sterilised.
She has been quoted saying
""Breeders, pet stores and
people who don't sterilize
their animals are responsible
for all the animals who end
up homeless. Every time
someone buys a dog or cat
from a breeder or pet store, a
homeless animal roaming the
streets or waiting in an animal
shelter loses a chance at a
home and a good life.
She received
critical acclaim
for her portrayal
of a woman
suffering from
tuberculosis in the
romantic drama
Lootera (2013),

Baahubali journey?
It's a once in a life time film.
I thought it's an International
Film when Rajamouli
narrated the script. My gut
feel before the release: It
would be something else if it
hits the right chord. Finally, It
became a greatest film. May
be, We don't see such a film
again. I'm still in Baahubali
and yet to get the feeling
that I am done with it. I and
Rajamouli were planning to
work since the past 7 years.
He narrated the line 5-and-a-

since then.

About the Producers of Baahubali
We have got extra-ordinary Producer.
Once starting a film like Baahubali,
We don't know how much the budget
could go up to. At least for Baahubali
2, we are more relaxed. I have
never seen anger or tension on the
Producers face. Really Great. It's
more like they have taken too much
of risk! Some days, we used to shoot
with 700, 1000 and 2000 people.
Everyone in the unit has got this
feeling of being part of a wonderful
movie. That positive vibe was really
helpful!
Pan-India Star & Huge Popularity

So many people recognize me and

I go, People have been able to
recognize me. All these were part of
aftereffects of Baahubali.
You are the 3rd Most Desirable Actor
after Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan
These things happen after such a
big success. I am happy with the
success but won't take the result
seriously as it will pull us down.

It was my friend who informed me
about the proposal & I couldn't
believe something like that has come
my way. Soon, I called Rajamouli,
his son Karthikeya and Valli garu
into my caravan to share the news.
Rajamouli felt very happy about it. It
took me almost one day to become
normal.
Straight Hindi Films
I have got lot of plans. Will give
clarity after one or two months.
How many have asked you
the Question - Why Kattappa
killed You?
A lot of people, actually. When a
person asked me about it, I told him
to wait till Baahubali 3 to know it
and he was shell shocked. Finally, I
assured him that the mystery would
be revealed in Baahubali 2.

Kattappa was narrating the flashback. We
wanted to give a twist, but didn't expect
that single frame would explode like an
atom bomb.
Even though Baahubali : The Conclusion,
is releasing 20 months after the first
part released, people still remember the
characters. In a way, you don’t have to
spend too much time introducing the
characters in Baahubali 2. As a storyteller
does that change the way you’re going to
narrate the story?
Not much because Baahubali was
A lot of secrets about Baahubali 2 have
been a closely guarded secret and the
whole hype surrounding 'Why Kattaappa
Killed Baahubali' has gripped the nation.
Did you anticipate that one single shot
would become the talk of the town?
No one thought it would create such a
buzz. Not even me. When we wanted to
conclude the first part, we didn't want a
tame ending. When Shivagami declares
that Amarendra Baahubali is going to
be the King and Bhallaldeva as the
Senadhipathi, it felt like an appropriate
ending, but we had to show Kattappa
Here is an exclusive interview with the ace director
and his love for cinema:

story in the beginning, but we
had to make it into two parts
because each character was
so powerful. We thought about
what should be the screenplay
- whether it should be narrated
in a linear format or have a
flashback. All we did was
fine-tune action sequences,
grandeur element and add
more humour. As a director,
it’s my job to ensure that my
films have to be packaged well
to cater to everyone and that’s
what we did.
What makes the lead
characters in Baahubali 2 so
powerful? Is it because of their
quest for power?
Not all characters desire power.
It's the clarity of the philosophy
that we've have given each
of the character that makes
them so powerful. When the
character is clearly etched, then
you get fascinated by them - be
it Duryodhana, Ravana and for
that matter, even Bhallaladeva.
Baahubali wants power
because he wants to reform
the society, but Bhallaladeva’s
thirst for power is that of a
tyrant-king.
Let’s say the characters
in Baahubali were not in
Mahishmathi, but lived in the
modern society. Would they still
have the same impact? Or is the
grandeur of Mahishmathi gives it
that edge?
Beyond all the visual splendour,
what hooks to your heart is the
family drama. For instance, let’s
look at the greatest Telugu film
ever made - Mayabazaar, which
released in way back in 1957. If
you look closely, it's also a family
drama about how a young couple,
who are betrothed to each other,
are separated because the boy’s
family loses everything and how,
in the end, a plan is hatched to
reunite them. The fact that it has
characters like Krishna, Balarama,
Ghatotkach gives it scale. For that
matter, even Mahabharata too is a
family drama.
You’re quite a successful
filmmaker, but what keeps you
grounded?
I grew up in a household where we
were taught to be humble all our
lives. If I don't stand up in honour
of an elder person, I used to get be
severely reprimanded by my father
or my brother (MM Keeravaani).
When you're an assistant director
in Chennai, you're expected to fold
your hands in respect of people
who are senior to you. Of course,
RGV changed all that, but I'm from
a generation before that.
Your next project?
I still did not decide about my
next project. Couple of scripts are
ready.
I grew up in

be humble all
our lives.

ARIES
Your personal focus is like a razor’s edge this month. Family responsibilities and
involvement may take you away from the personal desires and plans. Don’t struggle
with the challenges or try to escape the duties. You are actually at a point in which you can
release some old childhood memory or limitation. Sitting with patience with family issues can
bring true release by late June. Keep those personal goals as dreams. The moment will come
when you can forge ahead – you know, like you always do.
GEMINI
Is it your money, my money or our
money? That question is spinning in
your gray matter. Because dollars are
often used as a mental stimulus for
you, that question bears no threat. Rather it
promises a new way of looking at resources
and how to use them. Try something different
this month with money. Close your eyes and try
to ‘feel’ for your answers.
CANCER
It may seem that life resembles a
boulder blocking the mouth of a cave.
That would be a cave that is holding
you prisoner. This is a good time to do an
assessment of the past months. Check off the
events. What wisdom have you gained during
this time? What are the new responsibilities
that you have gained mastery over? Yes,
life may continue to be heavy like a boulder
but remind yourself often that you are in this
world but not of it.
LEO
There is uniqueness in friendships
this month. Reconnect with old
friends and be open to the cultivation
of new friendships. Don’t pick and
choose. Rather stay open and let others
pick and choose you. You may pull in some
questionable characters. But they come as
teachers even though they aren’t aware of
their role. Additionally, open up to group
activities. You may find yourself acting as a
leader. Use the golden rule now.
TAURUS
Happy Birthday to the zodiac’s
most steadfast sign!
This is indeed your birthday
month and this means that not only do
you celebrate a special day but a special
month all month long. The planetary
positions now bring promises for the year
ahead. Awareness is your key word for this
upcoming year. People and circumstances
enter your life now that open you up to new
experiences in relating.
160 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | MAY 2017
161. VIRGO
Ask any artist how to paint and they will tell you first to back away from the canvas
and second to find your perspective point. Your perspective point is now found in
backing away from the every day grind and having good old down home philosophical
discussions with many people. Be sure to choose to talk with some experts. You can’t learn
too much now, see too much or travel too far. Your mind is like a central switchboard until
June. You are on a quest for truth. What you find are the colors and hues that fill your life
canvas. Nice.
CAPRICORN
Seek out a guru this month. You
will recognize them as he or she
will have considerable dignity and
psychological strength. They will have a
clear understanding of responsibility that
mirrors your own. You will find a level of
friendship here that calls out to the inner
child in you. In turn this connection will
allow you to play the guru role for someone
younger or less experienced than yourself.
PISCES
Can you hum that tune, ‘On a Clear
Day You Can See Forever’? This is
the tune you should hum all month.
The image for you during May is
a ride in a hot air balloon over a calm sea of
water. Don’t do any complaining, moaning or
groaning. Instead count your blessings, for
indeed you are in planetary graces. And those
graces set you free. They allow you to be
extraordinarily creative and vastly intuitive. So
be honest.
LIBRA
After the 18th of May, you will have
a chance to journey backwards. At
first, it may seem like your drive has
become like milk-toast. It is, however, the
reverse. You indeed will have entered a sort of
Alice-in-Wonderland kind of experience. And
like Alice, you may go it alone. There will be
questions. Should I take the blue pill or the red
pill? Should I follow the white rabbit or stand in
place? By late June, you will simply come.
SCORPIO
If no one was watching and you
knew that you would not be
judged, would you let your hair
down and play? Why not dedicate this month
to doing just that – playing? The energies
are right for the experience and you will find
playmates. They may come as new friends,
confidants or a new lover. Reach out for the
experience and regain that youthful glow.
SAGITTARIUS
It may not be clear at the moment
but your actions are setting you
up for career success. Keep your
network connections active even though they
may look like they are dragging. Wherever
you encounter challenges, know that they
will turn toward fortune in some basic way.
Be sure to contact authority figures after
the 10th of May. The more contacts that are
made the greater the pay-off. Your partners
bring in rewards and gifts to you now.
AQUARIUS
The river of life continues to move in
uncertain rhythms and tides. Along
with those uncertainties lie frustrations
and puzzlement, perhaps to the point of tears.
How unlike you, Dear Aquarius. There must be
some divine message in these experiences.
If you would give yourself permission to be
sensitive, soft, transparent, clairvoyant, slightly
confused, emotionally vulnerable.
