WEDNESDAY” tells the story of certain events that unfold between 2 and 6 pm on a particular Wednesday-events which do not exist in any record but which deeply effects the lives of those involved.Prakash Rathod, Commissioner of Police, Mumbai (played by Mr Anupam Kher) gets a call demanding the release of four militants in lieu of information on bombs that the man has planted in various parts of the city.At first, Prakash suspects it to be a crank call but his doubts are dispelled once he actually finds a bomb planted in the police station right opposite his Police Headquarters.
Cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, Jimmy Shergill
Years ago, a popular TV series MALGUDI DAYS left an indelible impression on the minds of viewers.Now Shyam Benegal’s WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR takes you back to a hamlet that has its share of assorted characters: a letter writer, a power-hungry goon, a eunuch, a short tempered army man and his widowed daughter-in-law, a compounder, a house wife who’s husband, working in Mumbai, hasn’t showed up for four Diwalis…These are characters you’ve seen, witnessed, might even relate to.
Sorry to disappoint all the young girls, but unfortunately Ranbir doesn’t drop the towel in this one but to make it up to you, he looks super hot throughout the film, appearing shirtless in a few scenes. Bachna Ae Haseeno may have flaws as a film, yet it succeeds in entertaining and does so many things right, that you are willing to overlook the mistakes. The best part about the film is that in spite of being slightly over two hours twenty minutes, the film’s pace is very crisp and you in fact may walk out of the theatre planning to see the film again. 
So it turns out for the crazy comedy by Anees Bazmee , the man who directed Welcome and No Entry.Bazmee’s over-the-top comedies are known to have a blatant disregard for sense, style and subtlety.‘Singh Is Kinng’ is no different.With its many contrived twists and turns – and not to forget its outlandish characters – the movie doesn’t ask you to use your brain, nor does it proclaim to have one itself.It is a film that doesn’t take itself seriously and it tries every recipe in the book of entertainment to give you laughs worth your money spent. 
The new kid on the block is indeed quite natty. Sanjay Gadhvi’s thriller may be low on Dhoom this time, but young Imran Khan more than makes up for the sluggish pace and the mediocre script. His transition from the sweet, chocolate boy hero of his debut film, Jaane Tu…into a mean, merciless, embittered and scarred vengeance-seeker is smooth and convincing. Of course, the pout is still there, but so is the newly acquired stubble, the deadpan voice, the no-frills histrionics. Interesting.
With the number of so called comedy flicks being made at a random pace , here comes yet another one starring Tusshar Kapoor after ‘One Two Three’.This time around debutant Sachin Yadri fuses in the entire bandwagon of Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Balaji Telefilms’ and why not when the soap queen is the producer of this film.
Finally, a movie that delivers what it promises! A sweet, simple, charming feel good story that will keep you smiling from beginning to end.
