Shaurya is a story of justice, honor, faith and above all believing in yourself…
A story of finding courage within… where friendships are tested in the battle that matters the most……
The battle for truth and justice……
…
Shaurya is the story of Javed Khan (Deepak Dobriyal)… a man wronged by his country by the very men who he fought with and were his friends. It’s the story of Siddhant (Rahul Bose), whose only aim in life was to escape reality and wasn’t ready for what life brought him. It’s the story of Kaavya who never understood why it was difficult to speak the truth. It’s the story of Aakash (Javed Jaffery) for whom living the rules was the only way to live life. And it’s the story of Brigadier Pratap, a man who lived by his own rules even if they were against humanity. Captain Javed Khan charged with mutiny, treason and killing a fellow officer. Even when he is held for court martial, he refuses to speak in his defense, as the secret he holds is too powerful for the establishment to handle.… Assigned for this task are Sid and Aakash… two best friends, lawyers and very ambitious individuals who have contrasting views on life. Nevertheless, this one case will change their lives… forever. The case takes them to Srinagar. While Aakash, for whom winning the case matters the most, follows the blueprint, Sid discovers a new meaning in life, Kaavya (Minissha Lamba), Javed and of course the man in question, Brigadier Pratap (Kay Kay Menon).....

Director: Pawan Kaul

Producer: Nari Hira

Music: Pritam-Siddharth-Suhas

Lyrics: Kumaar, Irshad Kamil

Screenplay: Bhavani Iyer

Released on: 4th APRIL 2008

Synopsis:
Introducing Sheetal Menon, a model aspiring to make a mark in Bollywood, Bhram directed by Pawan Kaul is yet another suspense thriller. The movie is the director's second directorial venture and stars Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Sheetal Menon and Simone Singh in pivotal roles. With lack of star value and below average promotion. Does Bhram surprise or yet another cheesy flick?

Khuda ke liye

Cast: Iman Ali, Larry Neumann Jr, Shan, Hameed Shiekh, Rasheed Naaz, Naseeruddin Shah, Simi Reheal

Director: Shoaib Mansoor

Producer: Shoman Production

Released on: 4th APRIL 2008(in India)

Synopsis:
Khuda Ke Liye is a Pakistani movie which has smashed all box office records there. A movie that has become a craze all over Pakistan, so much so, that on one hand there was a fatwa against it by some radical maulvis and on the other hand an endorsement from Pervez Musharraf. The director of the movie has gone on vacation with his family, as soon as the movie was released fearing his life. The two sides are involved in a heated debate ranging from why it is the best movie ever in Pakistan to why it is not worth watching at all. Newsweek did a feature on it. It is being touted as ‘The Movie’ that can revive the film industry there.
It tackles a very tough subject and it is mostly handled well. The film is collaboration between the Pakistani, Indian and US film industries. It has perhaps been edited in India and has Naseeruddin Shah doing a short cameo in one of the most important roles. It was slated for an India release but for some reasons it seems to have been put on shelf.
The movie revolves around two musician brothers – Mansoor and Sarmad - one of whom transitions into religious extremism and the other fells victim to racial profiling. It depicts an upper middle class/rich family in Lahore with a mix of traditional and liberal values. The movie plot starts somewhere in pre 9/11 timeframe and ends in late 2002. The brothers have their own music group and are shown as beginning to make a mark on the music scene in Pakistan. The younger brother (Sarmad) gets involved in an extremist company whereas the elder brother (Mansoor) moves to Chicago to attend a music school....
