Starring: Tapsee Pannu, Manoj Bajpai, Prithvi Raj, Akshay Kumar
Directed by: Shivum Nair
For a superstar who gallantly steps back to let the female hero of this gripping-from-the-word-go thriller, take centrestage it is rather unchivalrous of Akshay Kumar to be billed in the end-titles before the awesome Tapsee Pannu.
She rules the bustling intrigue-filled universe of this film.
After Pink Tapsee, God bless her scintillating soul, is again in startling form as Shabana Khan an ordinary girl with extraordinary resilience who, when pushed into a corner, hits back. Hits back really hard.

As Shabana strides across the screen with a confidence that comes from a place opposite to emotional...

An eyewitness from the location of the shooting says, "We don't really know what the provocation was. Raghav was there to shoot a music-video for Sonali Cable. He is a fantastic dancer and a really cool guy, not known to lose his temper. We don't know what happened to him that day. But suddenly we saw him lunge for Sudheer and rain blows on the guy.

Marathi film 'Vihir', produced by Amitabh Bachchan Corp Ltd (Abcl) and directed by Umesh Kulkarni, got a warm reception and ran to a full house at the Berlin International Film Festival.
'It is a great honour for me to be here in Berlin. The film is based on an autobiographical event, I lost my cousin in a well when I was 14, and I found the idea that somebody can be here one day, and be gone the next, very intriguing. It raised questions that I try to answer through the film, to search for him,' said Kulkarni, whose short film 'Three of Us' was also at Berlin in 2008.
'Vihir', meaning the well, ran at the prestigious festival Sunday. Kulkarni was there with his 10 member team, including actors Madan Deodhar, Alok Rajwade, actor-writer Girish Kulkarni and Mohan Agashe.
