I loved director Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Haasil but his subsequent films had been disappointments of varying degrees. So I was not expecting much from Paan Singh Tomar starring Irrfan Khan and Mahie Gill. However, this time Dhulia has lived up to the promise he showed in Haasil and more.
Based on a real life story, the film starts with a nervous journalist (Bijendra Kaala) approaching Paan Singh (Irrfan Khan) for an interview. As Paan Singh narrates his life story in flashback we see a young, fresh army recruit who loves his family, his country and his food. His seniors recognise his potential and in no time he becomes a national champion in the steeple chase race. However, he is forced to take premature retirement from army when his family in his village is threatened and unjustly treated. When the law fails to get him justice, he picks up the gun...

Ram Gopal Varma’s latest is also his lowest, I mean literally. The camera is always close to ground, especially when the leading lady of the film Anusha Chawla (Mahie Gill) is around so that we get to see plenty of her bare legs. In one of the weirdest compositions I’ve ever seen, we see her head protruding from above her twin assets! No prize for guessing where the camera was placed.
Not a Love Story is a sketchy reconstruction of the Neeraj Grover murder case–the gruesome killing of a television executive by the boyfriend of his love interest. Although the director puts up a disclaimer proclaiming his film to be a work of fiction; he seems fairly faithful to the newspaper reports of the case.

Woody Allen opens Cannes, a new dawn for the Aurora Orchestra, plus Prince Charles learns about doorbells
Woody brings Paris to Cannes
The Cannes film festival kicks off this morning with Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. We may be bored of Allen this side of the channel, particularly after his London films (the Cannes screening of Match Point in 2005 marked some of the deadest hours of my life), but in France he is still adored.
Its trailer – in which the Eiffel tower features about five times, along with the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais and innumerable chic little bistros – suggests a love letter to a touristy version of the city, and the familiar trope of an American finding himself in Paris. On the plus side, Michael Sheen's in it.
