Purani Jeans
The film travels with Siddharth as he explores equations with his past to rebuild friendships with his four friends whom he grew up with in a small town in Himachal Pradesh in India. Unraveled in a genre similar to Cinema Paradiso, a large part of the film happens in flashbacks about that one summer that changed Siddharth's life forever.
The film shows Siddharth, as a successful, computer engineer based in New York City. He owns a big software company but leads a lonely life. One day, suddenly, his mother passes away and he is forced to make a journey back to India. As he travels back to his hometown from the US, he remembers the most important summer of his life. The summer of 1996.
In a flashback we see Siddharth as a simple guy in a small town, who loves writing poetry, he hangs out with his friends Tino, Bobby, Susheel (Suzy) and Sam, all of whom form the Kasauli Cowboys.
Sam is the larger than life extroverted hero of the gang and he is also Siddharth's best friend.
As the summer unravels we see Sid, Sam and the boys enjoy a rollercoaster ride, experiencing the agony and ecstasy of growing up. We see their world through Siddharth's young eyes as he chronicles everything in his diary, forming enviable bonds of friendship, trust, jealousy and love.
During that summer a young girl called Nayantara and her sister come into town. Siddharth falls in love with her but is too introverted and shy to commit. The girls join the group, triggering off a complex chain of events. The summer now unfolds more dramatically as the boys make detrimental choices - of love, sex, friendship, jealousy, heartbreaks and betrayal, finally leading to broken bonds of friendship.
When Siddharth lands in India from the US, ghosts from his youth loom up. He finally overcomes the complications and sets right all the wrongs done in his past and rediscovers the bonds of friendship. In the end Siddharth goes back to New York a better man; reconciled with his past and most importantly, rediscovering a happier today.
He returns to New York with the belief that friendship is indeed like Purani Jeans, the older the better.

Dishkiyaoon
Viki finds love and acceptance in a place where bullets don't warn you before firing. Interpersonal relationships are complex and situations are twisted. Ambitions break free as Viki sets his eyes on the top spot in gangster land. He backs himself to dethrone the existing king. Where people use might, Viki uses his mind. A game of dice begins. Each throw unfolds deception, double cross, uncertainty, mystery and shock. It all comes down to one final throw of dice and Viki must roll a six to win.
Given a choice between ambition and revenge, only a deadly mind would pick both. Viki picks both. Big dreams always come at big costs. Actions have consequences. A gunshot doesn't discriminate; it makes the same sound in every ear, "DISHKIYAOON".

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
One can only imagine that marriage would come with side effects.... Pleasure being replaced by companionship.... Lovers becoming friends... But not Sid (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha (Vidya Balan).
Theirs is a shaadi where they are living out each other's fantasies, turning them into reality peppered with love, lust & longing.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects is a witty and sexy comedy that re-defines happily ever after - if there really is one!!

London Dreams
Arjun diligently pursued his dream, at the risk of running away from an uncle who was his only family in an unfamiliar land and roaming the streets of London before taking shelter in a music shop and priming himself until he's ready to make his foray into the world of music and showmanship.
As Arjun forges a band with Zoheb and Wasim, two brothers who'd duped their relatives in Pakistan to travel to London in pursuit of their musical aspirations, and Priya, a music enthusiast from a conservative South Indian family, far away in Punjab, music becomes a survival tool for Mannu, who takes to playing in wedding bands in his village.
But when he gets Mannu to London and makes him a part of the band, Arjun soon realizes he's created the biggest threat and obstacle to his own ambitions.
For, Mannu, with his inherent musical gift and irreverent style of performing, becomes an instant darling of the crowds. What has taken Arjun years to achieve, Mannu does overnight. It causes Arjun to feel betrayed by the God to whom he'd surrendered everything in return for eminence in music.
Arjun's unbearable pangs of jealously and insecurity only worsen when Mannu also unwittingly woos and wins his secret love, Priya. As he battles his inner demons, Arjun slowly devises a sinister plan to destroy his best friend. Over a three city tour spanning Paris, Rome and Amsterdam, Arjun sends a naive Mannu on a downward hurtling rollercoaster ride of sex and drugs that almost breaks Mannu's spirit and his love life, days before a show at Wembley, a venue where Arjun hopes to have his moment of glory. A venue where his grandfather had failed before a crowd of 25,000 people!
But a rude shock awakens Arjun at Wembley at the expense of his band, his friendship and his credibility - a humbling experience that teaches him the true meaning of acceptance in life.

Sanjay Dutt plays a new age lone ranger who has the latest weapons and gadgets at his fingertips, and is a man who trusts and depends on no one. Working alone, he effortlessly uses his wit, his skills at hand-to-hand combat, and his love for stealth technology, to manipulate and trap his elusive target. The target, played by Irrfan, is a street-smart investment banker who has made his way to the upper echelons of power. A man who unwittingly holds the key to India's destiny, Irrfan is a man consumed by his own obsessions, an extremely clever and unstoppable foe. Through a brilliant play of truth and pretense, Sanjay strips Irrfan of his arrogance and attitude, opens his heart and confounds his brain, locking him in a tangle beyond redemption... a tangle which can only be unraveled one way... leading to the biggest 'counter-heist' in the history of this nation.
Hot on the trail of these two men is a hardnosed television journalist, played by Kangna Ranaut. She will stop at nothing... or so she believes, until she is faced with the ultimate call of conscience. Choosing between another man's life or herself... Choosing between the country or herself. And each time she rises to the occasion, showing that the new India has its heart in the right place, its soul intact.
As the film reaches its action-packed climax, every citizen of this country becomes a witness to the live action that unfolds before television cameras. For a nation that has endured political thieves for six decades, this counter-heist of a massive scale wakes them up in a way nothing has ever done before.
The film ends in a huge wave of euphoria. The mysterious vigilante fights and wins an impossible battle, a battle that raged not just in the streets of Mumbai but also in the minds of the whole nation. True to style, he manages to walk off into the celebrating multitudes; his identity forever hidden... maybe to strike another day... and India awakens to a new beginning.

Milenge Milenge
This charming romantic comedy has all the right ingredients and serves up a serving of sugary romance and slapstick fun. Amit (Shahid Kapoor) and Priya (Kareena Kapoor) meet at a youth festival in Bangkok. The attraction is instant and they spend days together cavorting around Bangkok City. At the end of the festival when they are preparing to come back to Delhi, Amit loses Priya's trust and she decides to end the relationship. Amit tries to regain her trust by telling her that are destined to be together and Priya decides that if it is fate that they should be together, they will find each other in Delhi again, although neither know the other's whereabouts in Delhi.
Years go by and both of them are about to be married, but each still has this nagging feeling that the other was his/her one true love. Of course fate conspires to bring them back together (after about a dozen very interesting near misses) as they each simultaneously undertake one last attempt to find one another just before they get married to someone else.
So is all of life pre-determined, including our soul mates? That's the theme explored in Milenge Milenge, a delightful fairytale of a romantic comedy that makes you fall in love all over again.
