The founder of a respected Indian news network is thrust reluctantly into the spotlight when his top reporter uncovers the shocking truth about his rise to power. When it comes to reporting the news, Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) values honesty above all else. His private news channel is viewed by the masses as one of the last bastions of respectable journalism. Amrish Kakkar (Mohnish Bahl), on the other hand, never saw a headline he couldn't spice up. As Vijay's son Malik works to make his father's business profitable, rising journalist Purab (Ritesh Deshmukh) makes a scandalous discovery while researching the man known for putting the facts first. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A slick, unofficial Hindi-language update of The Godfather that is drenched in Bollywood stylistic tropes, Sarkar Raj (2008) constitutes a sequel to the 2005 crime saga Sarkar. Like its predecessor, it tells the story of Subhash Nagare (Amitabh Bachchan), a powerful crime lord who controls the region of Mumbai, ensuring that raw justice gets dispensed where the law proves ineffectual. Wise, self-controlled, and outwardly gentle, he is nevertheless capable of shattering violence at the right time and place. As the tale opens, a western corporation swoops in and tries to persuade Subhash and his son Shankhar (Abhishek Bachchan) to give their permission for clearing the residents out of a particular area and building a power plant. Shankhar feels completely enthusiastic about the proposal, his father a bit more skeptical. But most furious about the matter is the son of a diminutive spiritual leader, Sanjay Somji (Rajesh Shringarpore), who resents everything that the plan entails, and does everything in his power to raise the ire of the people and stop it. All is not what it seems on the surface, however, for beneath the plans lurk deeper and more sinister, hidden motivations and schemes on the part of those involved. Meanwhile, one of the representatives of the said corporation, the svelte and gorgeous Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai), begins to fall for Shankhar, and he develops reciprocal feelings for her. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A passionate extramarital affair takes a grim turn in director Ram Gopal Varma's dark romantic thriller. Aditya Soman has fallen under the spell of his a wonton secretary Gita Menon. While Aditya views the trysts with his passionate employee as a little more than a series of lusty interludes, Gita has read much more into the encounters. Gita is a lonely, and she has convinced herself that Aditya will one day divorce his wife so that she and her lover can be together without shame. Of course, with a loyal wife and a beautiful lover on the side, Aditya isn't about to let go of a good thing and selfishly strings Gita along. Tragedy strikes, however, when Gita dies unexpectedly and Aditya remains haunted by more than just her memory. Subsequently wracked by guilt and terrified of the specter that hangs over him, Aditya finds his once-perfect world fast falling apart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
