Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap explores the events following the March 2, 1993, bombings that ripped through Mumbai, India while simultaneously offering a cinematic study on just how such a tragedy can change a city in this adaptation of the book by author S. Hussain Zaidi. Mumbai has been decimated by a series of powerful bombs, and now top cop Rakesh Maria (Kay Kay Menon) is determined to apprehend the culprits responsible for plunging the city into chaos. Soon after discovering several more vehicles leaded down with bombs, Maria discovers that Tiger Menon, a powerful businessman from the Muslim area of Mahim, has been shifting funds in the Mumbai underworld in order to finance the bombings. Now, as the bombers shuttle quickly from one location to another with police hot on their trail, it's only a matter of time before the authorities learn the whole story. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Madhur Bhandarkar's take-no-prisoners social drama Corporate embarks on a searing, scathing journey into the dark recesses of the Indian business realm. The picture hones in on white collar executive Vinay Seghal, president and director of the Sehgal Group of Industries, determined to trounce Dharmesh Marwah (Raj Babbar), his opponent in a marketing rivalry. While the former high-roller takes full advantage of shady business deals and prays to his god for deific assistance, the latter employs a more pragmatic approach, enlisting the services of female executive Nishigandha Dasgupta (Bipasha Basu) and her cutthroat task force to sabotage Marwah. Thus begins a battle of wills with no regard for ethic or morality and no empathy for whatever victims happen to fall into the line of fire. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A career criminal tries to disprove the old adage that "you can't con a con man" in this Bollywood drama. Arjun (Fardeen Khan) is a confidence man who, after the death of one of his best friends, decides to pull a major scam to punish the killer. However, the plan goes awry, and he finds himself deep in debt to two of his partners, gangster Sikander (Gulshan Grover) and hitman Kaif (Kay Kay Menon). In order to even the score and save his own skin, Arjun is forced to plan an even bigger con, with one of India's most powerful crime figures, Jehanghir Khan (Feroz Khan), as the target. Helping Arjun pull off the scam of a lifetime are his friends and cohorts Bhatia (Mukul Dev), a master forger; Jack (Amin Hajee), an all-purpose swindler; and Natasha (Koena Mitra), a beautiful psychiatrist whose passion for the nooks and crannies of the human mind had caused her to fall for Arjun. Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena (aka The Player and the Beauty) was the first directorial credit for screenwriter Suparn Verma. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Small-scale political battles serve as a metaphor for larger issues in this drama from India. Duki Bana (Kay Kay Menon) is an angry political activist who lives and works in a Rajasthan college town, where's trying to drum up support for an independence movement that would put the royal family back in power. Jadhwal (Pankaj Jha) is the current leader of the student government, whose charm doesn't always disguise his reputation as a bully. Hoping to use the upcoming campus elections as a stepping-stone to launching a real-world political movement, Duki persuades Rananjay (Abhimanyu Singh), a student with links to the royal family, to run against Jadhwal, with his roommate Dileep (Raj Singh Chaudhary), a bright but gullible young man, helping to run the campaign. But Rananjay has a pair of illegitimate half-siblings (Aditya Srivastav and Ayesha Mohan) who despise him and want his campaign to fail, while the upcoming election polarizes both the students and the faculty as its implications are felt outside the campus. Gulaal was (along with Dev. D) one of two feature films from director Anurag Kashyap which were screened as official selections at the 2009 Venice International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Rahul (Sharman Joshi) is a call center executive who silently pines for his beautiful boss Neha, but the secret to Neha's fast success is the furtive romance she has been having with her own boss - an unhappily married professional named Ranjeet. Ranjeet has grown bored with his marriage to the smart and beautiful Shikha, and despite the fact that the couple has a six year-old son Ranjeet is willing to risk it all to shower Neha with lavish gifts and enticing opportunities. Back in school, Shikha was a better student than Ranjeet, but when the couple had a son she put her professional aspirations aside in order to care for the child. These days Shikha, too, has grown bored with her marriage, and soon falls into the arms of divorced artist Akash despite the pride she has taken in her vow to always remain faithful. In another part of town, Shikha's aunt Vaijanti bides her time in an old age home. When Vaijanti's childhood sweetheart Amol returns to India after forty years in exile to spend his remaining years with her, old love blossoms anew.
