Apartment
Jag Mundhra comes up with a fairly taut thriller, which is absorbing in parts. Inspired by the Hollywood film Single
White Female [Bridget Fonda, Jennifer Jason Leigh], the film has
been adapted decently well to suit Indian sensibilities, but there's
a hiccup. Neetu Chandra uses every predictable trick in the book to
make Tanushree's life miserable. From poisoning Anupam Kher's cat to
eyeing Tanushree's man, the stunts that she pulls off don't send a
chill down your spine, which is very, very vital for a film that
banks on terrifying moments to keep its audience hooked.

aspirations and unfulfilled dreams on his tiny, frail shoulders.

Lalbaug Parel
The film traces the birth of the politics of greed in Mumbai and

business, the political establishment and the trade union leaders,
who ostensibly were charged with protecting the rights of the mill
workers. In the two decades that followed, the entire landscape of
central Mumbai was changed forever. Land became the currency of
growth, and this began the systematic extinction of mills in Mumbai.
In a matter of just few years, thousands of workers lost their means
of livelihood. Having worked in these mills from generation to
generation, this was the only vocation that they knew.
