D-Day released in 2013 is fictional underworld movie by Nikhil Advani who has convincingly unfolded a story of an underworld and lives of agents who work tirelessly to nab him.
 Rishi Kapoor,Irrfan Khan, Arjun Rampal, Shruti Hassan and surprisingly a new face Shriswara as Nafisa - all give excellent performances.

Irrfan is one actor who is always a delight to watch and puts his heart and soul in every role he plays but it's the  director who  deserves the kudos to have got such performances from every artist.
One of  well made and  appreciated movies.

Rating 8/10

Shriswara

"Margarita with a straw "-A new generation movie with difference -starring Kalki Koechlin is about a bisexual Laila who finds love with outspoken activist Khanum(Sayani Gupta)

According to Kalki the role was truly demanding as she had to portray a character which has  a disability(Cerebral Palsy). Written & directed by Shonali Bose, story is inspired by Shonali's cousin, Malini who has cerebral palsy. Kalki was introduced to Malini who she lived with, watched movies together to get to see the world from her perspective and play a true life role. In today's context of Bollywood style of filmmaking, such initiatives have rarely been taken. However, as new generation of movie makers and actors are ready to take plunge into realistic cinema, no wonder we will get to see more meaningful films like "Margarita With a Straw" in very near future. The makers and actors deserve accolades.

Mary Kom

Priyanka Chopra appeared on front page of Toronto Star when she arrived for the world premiere of her film " Mary Kom" in which she portrays a five time world amateur boxing  champion.
Linda Barnard movie writer for Toronto Star had this to say about Priyanka

"India's Angelina Jolie, Bollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra, changed her body and hopes to change a few minds by playing Indian boxing champion Mary Kom in the self-titled biopic, which had its world premiere at TIFF Thursday"
"Videos of Kom's fights "were my bedtime stories" as Chopra watched them over and over to learn the fighter's style. The right handed Chopra also had to learn to fight "like a southpaw" to match the left-handed Kom and ate a high protein diet to bulk up while doing punishing workouts with heavy weights "to exhaustion"
