The plot of the movie follows the social thriller genre which is simply suitable for the current political system of the nation. The rapidly growing nation for the citizen of over 125 crores, the story features Irrfan Khan as the character of Nirmal Kumar who is a common man of the country and the doing everything as per the instructions of the powerful politicians and other corrupt bodies.

The title Praktan, which means 'former', may explicitly point at the lead pair of Ujaan and Sudipa who were formerly married in the film.

Maratha history gets the full-on Sanjay Leela Bhansali treatment in Bajirao Mastani. The overwrought but impressive extravaganza elevates the legendary 18th century warrior-hero determined to establish Hindu rule across the subcontinent to the level of a selfless crusader for love in a climate of hate and bigotry.

Everyone has at least some fear of the dark - no one walks into a completely dark room and thinks 'Oh good, I can't see anything and that's how I prefer it!' No, you fumble for a light switch ASAP, because even if you're not afraid of a creepy monster in there, you ARE afraid of walking into a desk and banging up your knee - it's still a fear! For many, they DO fear what could be lurking in the unknown and will only feel safe when the lights are turned on, so it's no surprise that Lights Out isn't the first nor will it be the last horror film to focus on a horror villain that sticks to the dark, where even a basic flashlight can keep you safe and ward the evil thing off. Darkness Falls is the obvious example, and I feared that this would be similarly underwhelming - luckily, that wasn't the case, and I suspect the movie will be a big draw, especially among those who hated The Witch for daring to be more subtle with its brand of terror. You want jump scares? You'll get your jump scares here - and they're actually pretty effective!

Director: Ribhu Dasgupta Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Teen is a suspense thriller set in the backdrop of Kolkata city, that brings together two parallel investigations of two kidnappings and tries its best to build up an explosive, emotionally charged film. To know whether the film is really a gripping thriller or not, just go through the review. Teen Plot: The plot of the film revolves around the life of John Biswas (Amitabh Bachchan), who lost his granddaughter, Angela, in a tragic kidnapping incident that scarred him & his wife Nancy forever. The world has moved but it's John, who hasn't given up his relentless quest for justice. He continues to visit the police station where he's shunned & ignored every day. On the other side, there is Martin Das (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who is an ex-cop turned priest and interestingly, he also has one thing in common with John-Angela's kidnapping! The death of Angela had a life altering impact on both men. But then, one day, there's another kidnapping & everything about it echoes similarity with the kidnapping of Angela. Father Martin is once again dragged into the investigation by cop Sarita Sarkar (Vidya Balan). While the priest & the cop tackle the new kidnapping, John stubbornly pieces together the identity of Angela's kidnapper from the bits of information that he collects through his own investigations. Will John Biswas be able to find out the culprit or not, forms the crux of the story! Performances: When a film has actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, there is no second thought about their performances. The trio shines in their roles. There are a few scenes, where Amitabh Bachchan's helplessness and body language have come out on the screen so nicely, that you can easily relate to his character and feel his pain deep inside your heart! Nawazuddin too, leaves no stone unturned in impressing us with his amazing talent and he makes a great impact with his overall performance. However, Vidya has less screen space when compared to Amitabh & Nawazuddin but she did full justice to her role. Technicalities: Teen is surely one of those dishes, which has yummy ingredients but is not well prepared by the chef! And we can see that chef in Director Ribhu Dasgupta! When you cast such powerhouse actors, automatically audiences' expectations from the film is high. But owing to film's poor script or a series of plotholes, Ribhu's story-telling lacks the perfection that ends up leaving the film quite predictable. We also felt that the movie needed a tighter editing. Unfortunately, the pace of the film is also very slow which is yet another drawback of this suspense thriller. Verdict: If you are expecting a nail-biting thriller from Teen, then surely this one is not for you! But you can surely give it a shot to witness the classic acting of Mr Bachchan! We give an extra half star to Amitabh Bachchan's arresting performance!
