Too many silly points mar this overblown tale of a woman who is crazy about cricket.‘Meerabai Not Out’ is a film that causes embarrassment to the people watching it.More than that, it tests your patience with the slow pace of its utterly predictable plot.You know beforehand how the story’s going to wind up.Yet, you sit yawning and watching the proceeding on the screen with the same boredom as you see a five-day match drag to a lackluster draw.
Cast: Mandira Bedi, Eijaz Khan, Anupam Kher

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is around the corner. The excitement among fans is humongous as we are a few days away from the opening match. So it’s perhaps a great move to release a film with a cricket theme, just before the big tournament.While we’ve seen many films based on cricket (LAGAAN, VICTORY, IQBAL), PATIALA HOUSE is different as it’s primarily a father-son conflict, having cricket as it’s backdrop.
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Anushka Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia

With a perfectly predictable plotline, if a film still keeps you riveted through its runtime, you know there’s something earnestly right about it. Lahore has a right director. Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan has the finesse to package the standard story with the requisite action and intensity that a sports film demands.

Move over, boys; Rani’s The Man! I mean, the leading man of Dil Bole Hadippa.Shahid Kapoor is more or less reduced to a twelfth man in this Yashraj film that seems solely crafted to open up the second innings of Rani’s sagged career.So, no rona dhona this time for Rani. Too many weepy roles in the past only ruined her future.This time, Rani Mukherjee has got her chin up and necklines down.

India has lost two of the three one day internationals against Australia, and have lost all hope of winning the three-test series, mostly due to the dismal performance of the arrogant Cricket Captain, Ranvir Singh alias Ronny, who is also the brother of the Chair of the Cricket Selection Committee. This Committee decides to have a new-comer named Sunny in place of Ronny, which leaves an embittered Ronny, swearing to kill Sunny at any cost.
Cast: Dev Anand, Aamir Khan, Ekta Sohini
