Begum Jaan 

Begum Jaan makes 

no impact despite of 

the power-packed 

performance by 

Vidya Balan and 

team. The cluttered 

plot runs out 

because of the poor 

narration that makes 

the film a huge 

disappointment. 

Story : 

Begum Jaan (Vidya Balan) owns 

a brothel house and she stays 

with her girls in a huge Kotha 

leading a careless life. It is after 

Independence, the proposal 

of partition between India and 

Pakistan that starts troubling 

Begum Jaan. She receives 

notices from the government 

to vacate the Kotha and she 

seeks the help of local king 

(Naseeruddin Shah) after she 

refuses to vacate. After she 

refuses to bend under pressure, 

INC leader Hariprasad (Ashish 

Vidyarthi) and Muslim league 

leader, Illyas (Rajit Kapoor) find 

violent ways to threaten her to 

leave. Watch Begum Jaan to 

know what happens next. 

20 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | MAY 2017 

Analysis : 

Right from the first frame, Begum 

Jaan misses the clarity throughout. 

The film has some realistic and 

stunning episodes that surprise 

the audience and it is Vidya Balan 

who tries hard to save the film but 

could not. The first half has some 

engaging episodes which make the 

film passable. The performances 

by the lead cast sure makes lot of 

difference. On the whole the first half 

of Begum Jaan is slightly decent but 

not up to the mark. 

The second half which is quite 

crucial for such films fails miserably 

in all the available ways. The film 

has some interesting plot but it is the 

screenplay and the narration which 

makes Begum Jaan fall flat. Vidya 

Balan’s stupendous and fearless 

performance has been utterly 

wasted throughout. The pre-climax 

episodes kill the film completely 

and a decent climax makes no 

difference. On the whole the second 

half of Begum Jaan is a huge failure 

in all the available ways. 

Final Word: 

Begum Jaan makes no impact 

despite of the power-packed 

performance by Vidya Balan and 

team. The cluttered plot runs out 

because of the poor narration 

that makes the film a huge

Noor 

Analysis : 

Noor is a film that 

lacks interesting 

narration and 

is a huge 



shines in the 

assigned role and 

Noor has been 

good at parts. 

The first half of Noor offers 

nothing and it takes much 

time to reveal the major plot. 

The first half an hour is utterly 

wasted and it offers nothing. 

The entertainment at parts is a 

huge relief for the audience and 

the major plot has many loop 

holes that make the audience 

feel a huge let down. With some 

interesting episodes, the first half 

of Noor offers nothing and is a 

disappointment. With not many 

commercial elements, Noor is 

completely foolish. 

/5 

Story : 

Noor is the story of Noor Roy 

Chaudary (Sonakshi Sinha) 

who works for a news agency 

headed by Sekhar Das (Manish 

Choudary). Noor wants to get 

some sensational news on 

board; she has been forced 

to cover some uninteresting 

local news. She has two best 

friends, Zara Patel (Shibani 

Dandekar), a DJ and Saad 

( Kannan Gill). Malti (Smita 

Tambe) unknowingly divulges 

some shocking details to Noor 

after which she starts an enquiry 

about her brother’s health. This 

is during this time, Noor finds a 

big story. The rest of the movie 

is all about what happens next. 

The second half of Noor travels 

interesting for sometime however 

the film dips down badly at 

the much needed time. Some 

of the logics look baseless 

and most of the episodes look 

faked. Sonakshi’s character has 

not been written well and the 

climax of Noor has interesting 

aspects. With an interesting 

plot, the director fails to make 

an engaging film. Noor is sure a 

massive disappointment in all the 

available ways. 

Final Word: 

Noor is a film that lacks 

interesting narration and is a 

huge disappointment. Sonakshi 

Sinha shines in the assigned role 

and Noor has been good at parts.

Mister 

Mister is one more 

disappointment 

from Srinu Vaitla 

as the film offers 

nothing interesting 

throughout. 

Varuntej, Lavanya 

Tripathi and Hebah 

Patel have been 

emotional and 

impressive in the 

journey which alone 

cannot save the 

film. 

Story : 

Mister is all about the story of 

Chai (Varuntej) who values 

relations and emotions than 

money. He meets Meera (Hebah 

Patel) accidentally and falls for 

her. However at the right time 

when he is about to propose his 

love, Meera reveals her love 

story. An unexpected incident 

brings Chai to India after 

which he meets Chandramukhi 

(Lavanya Tripathi). The rest 

of Mister is all about how Chai 

stands strong solving all his 

problems and how he wins his 

love. Watch Mister to know 

about the triangular love story. 

24 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | MAY 2017 

Analysis : 

The first half of Mister is all about 

framing the important characters 

of the film. The entertainment 

throughout the film has been decent 

and impressive. Though the plot 

looks deviated, the director manages 

to comeback soon. The songs look 

decent and they have been placed, 

shot well. The interval episodes look 

interesting and on the whole the first 

half of Mister is sure a decent watch 

if keep back your expectations. The 

interesting twists throughout keep the 

audience engaging. 

The second half of Mister 

lacks interesting episodes. The 

entertainment dips down completely 

and the unwanted episodes deviates 

the major plot. The 20 minute long 

hospital episode will sure leave the 

audience irritated and is the major 

letdown for the film. The pre-climax 

episodes have been dragged too 

much and it is the climax that makes 

the film interesting and emotional. On 

the whole the second half of Mister is 

a huge downfall. 

Final Word: 

Mister is one more disappointment 

from Srinu Vaitla as the film offers 

nothing interesting throughout. 

Varuntej, Lavanya Tripathi and 

Hebah Patel have been emotional 

and impressive in the journey which 

alone cannot save the film.

Story : 

Baahubali: The Conclusion is

about the story of Mahendra 

Baahubali (Prabhas) who 

has been explained about the 

kingdom of Mahismathi and 

about the royal king Amarendra 

Baahubali (Prabhas). Baahubali:

from Bhallaladeva (Rana 

Daggubati) and conquers the 

kingdom of Maahismathi. Watch 

Baahubali: The Conclusion to 

know about the complete story. 

Analysis : 


much lavish and vast than the 

first installment of the movie. 

Mixed with right emotions 

and action, Baahubali: The 

Conclusion will impress the 

audience to the core. Rajamouli 

made sure each and every 

question of the audience will 

be answered in the movie. The 

action episodes have been 

completely destructive and the 

songs have been an eye feast. 

The emotional drama has been 

well narrated throughout and 

the first half of Baahubali: The 

Conclusion is truly an epic and 

will live up the expectations. Each 

and every frame of the film has 

been impressive. 

The second half of Baahubali: 

The Conclusion is all about the 

emotional journey and the major 

story of the film unfolds here. 

The crucial episodes have been 

well showcased and the action 

episodes carried the film well. 

Though the emotional content 

makes the film slow, the grand 

visuals along with the VFX and 

the production values make the 

film sit on the top. SS Rajamouli 

should be widely appreciated 

for his stupendous presentation 

throughout the movie. The 

destructive climax will sure 

leave the audience disturbing. 

On the whole the second half of 

Baahubali: The Conclusion is an 

epic. 

Final Word: 


a film that should not be given 

a miss for the spectacular 

performances, grand VFX work, 

epic performances and lavish 

production values. At the top, SS 

Rajamouli’s directorial abilities 

make the film a must watch.

romantic interest of the male

action-dramas, 

including Rowdy Rathore 

(2012), Son of Sardaar 

(2012), Dabangg 2 (2012) and 

Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off 

Duty (2014), though she was 

criticised for taking up roles 

that offered her limited scope. 

She received critical acclaim 

for her portrayal of a woman 

suffering from tuberculosis in 

the romantic drama Lootera 

(2013), for which she was 

nominated for the Filmfare 

Award for Best Actress in 

2013. She sung a small part 

in the Imran Khan song "Let's

also sung "Rajh Rajh me" 

from Akira and "Move your 

Lakh " for Noor with Diljit and 

Badshah. 

Sinha was born on 2 June 

1987 in Patna into a Bihari 

Kayastha family. Her father, 

Shatrughan Sinha and her 

mother Poonam Sinha are 

actors in Hindi Cinema. 

Her father is now a political

She has starred in a oneminute 

video PSA, urging 

everyone to adopt animals 

and have them sterilised. 

She has been quoted saying 

""Breeders, pet stores and 

people who don't sterilize 

their animals are responsible 

for all the animals who end 

up homeless. Every time 

someone buys a dog or cat 

from a breeder or pet store, a 

homeless animal roaming the 

streets or waiting in an animal 

shelter loses a chance at a 

home and a good life.

Prabhas 

The Most 

Eligible Bachelor of 

Indian Cinema 

Young Rebel Star Prabhas tested his luck with 

'Baahubali: The Conclusion' and the movie has been 

trashing all the existing records of Indian cinema. This 

SS Rajamouli directorial turned out to be the talk of the 

country. 

Here is an exclusive interview of Prabhas on the 

eve of the film’s release: 

How do you feel after 

the end of 4 Years of 

Baahubali journey? 

It's a once in a life time film. 

I thought it's an International 

Film when Rajamouli 

narrated the script. My gut 

feel before the release: It 

would be something else if it 

hits the right chord. Finally, It 

became a greatest film. May 

be, We don't see such a film 

again. I'm still in Baahubali 

and yet to get the feeling 

that I am done with it. I and 

Rajamouli were planning to 

work since the past 7 years. 

He narrated the line 5-and-ahalf 

years ago. I am travelling 

since then. 

Betterment could be seen in 

Rajamouli day-by-day. I knew 

him before 'Magadheera' and 

after 'Baahubali 1'. I feel he

When I go to

is becoming a better person everyday 

character-wise. 

About the Producers of Baahubali 

We have got extra-ordinary Producer. 

Once starting a film like Baahubali, 

We don't know how much the budget 

could go up to. At least for Baahubali 

2, we are more relaxed. I have 

never seen anger or tension on the 

Producers face. Really Great. It's 

more like they have taken too much 

of risk! Some days, we used to shoot 

with 700, 1000 and 2000 people. 

Everyone in the unit has got this 

feeling of being part of a wonderful 

movie. That positive vibe was really 

helpful! 

Pan-India Star & Huge Popularity 

When I go to Bombay or Delhi now, 

So many people recognize me and 

place request for pictures. Wherever 

I go, People have been able to 

recognize me. All these were part of 

aftereffects of Baahubali. 

You are the 3rd Most Desirable Actor 

after Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan 

" 

These things happen after such a 

big success. I am happy with the 

success but won't take the result 

seriously as it will pull us down. 

Wax Statue in Madame Tussauds 

museum 

It was my friend who informed me 

about the proposal & I couldn't 

believe something like that has come 

my way. Soon, I called Rajamouli, 

his son Karthikeya and Valli garu 

into my caravan to share the news. 

Rajamouli felt very happy about it. It 

took me almost one day to become 

normal. 

Straight Hindi Films 

I have got lot of plans. Will give 

clarity after one or two months. 

How many have asked you 

the Question - Why Kattappa 

killed You? 

A lot of people, actually. When a 

person asked me about it, I told him 

to wait till Baahubali 3 to know it 

and he was shell shocked. Finally, I 

assured him that the mystery would 

be revealed in Baahubali 2. 

Highlight Fight Sequence in 

Baahubali 2 

My Fight with Rana will be the 

special element. 

When will you get Married? 

I don't have the correct answer for it. 

After deciding it, we will let everyone 

know through media.

Here is an exclusive interview with the ace director 

and his love for cinema: 

A lot of secrets about Baahubali 2 have 

been a closely guarded secret and the 

whole hype surrounding 'Why Kattaappa 

Killed Baahubali' has gripped the nation. 

Did you anticipate that one single shot 

would become the talk of the town? 

No one thought it would create such a 

buzz. Not even me. When we wanted to 

conclude the first part, we didn't want a 

tame ending. When Shivagami declares 

that Amarendra Baahubali is going to 

be the King and Bhallaldeva as the 

Senadhipathi, it felt like an appropriate 

ending, but we had to show Kattappa 

and Shivudu as well in the end because 

Kattappa was narrating the flashback. We 

wanted to give a twist, but didn't expect 

that single frame would explode like an 

atom bomb. 

Even though Baahubali : The Conclusion, 

is releasing 20 months after the first 

part released, people still remember the 

characters. In a way, you don’t have to 

spend too much time introducing the 

characters in Baahubali 2. As a storyteller 

does that change the way you’re going to 

narrate the story? 

Not much because Baahubali was 


I grew up in 

a household 

where we 

were taught to 

be humble all 

our lives. 

conceived as one single 

story in the beginning, but we 

had to make it into two parts 

because each character was 

so powerful. We thought about 

what should be the screenplay 

- whether it should be narrated 

in a linear format or have a 

flashback. All we did was 

fine-tune action sequences, 

grandeur element and add 

more humour. As a director, 

it’s my job to ensure that my 

films have to be packaged well 

to cater to everyone and that’s 

what we did. 

What makes the lead 

characters in Baahubali 2 so 

powerful? Is it because of their 

quest for power? 

Not all characters desire power. 

It's the clarity of the philosophy 

that we've have given each 

of the character that makes 

them so powerful. When the 

character is clearly etched, then 

you get fascinated by them - be 

it Duryodhana, Ravana and for 

that matter, even Bhallaladeva. 

Baahubali wants power 

because he wants to reform 

the society, but Bhallaladeva’s 

thirst for power is that of a 

tyrant-king. 

Let’s say the characters 

in Baahubali were not in 

Mahishmathi, but lived in the 

modern society. Would they still 

have the same impact? Or is the 

grandeur of Mahishmathi gives it 

that edge? 

Beyond all the visual splendour, 

what hooks to your heart is the 

family drama. For instance, let’s 

look at the greatest Telugu film 

ever made - Mayabazaar, which 

released in way back in 1957. If 

you look closely, it's also a family 

drama about how a young couple, 

who are betrothed to each other, 

are separated because the boy’s 

family loses everything and how, 

in the end, a plan is hatched to 

reunite them. The fact that it has 

characters like Krishna, Balarama, 

Ghatotkach gives it scale. For that 

matter, even Mahabharata too is a 

family drama. 

You’re quite a successful 

filmmaker, but what keeps you 

grounded? 

I grew up in a household where we 

were taught to be humble all our 

lives. If I don't stand up in honour 

of an elder person, I used to get be 

severely reprimanded by my father 

or my brother (MM Keeravaani). 

When you're an assistant director 

in Chennai, you're expected to fold 

your hands in respect of people 

who are senior to you. Of course, 

RGV changed all that, but I'm from 

a generation before that. 

Your next project? 

I still did not decide about my 

next project. Couple of scripts are 

ready.

In Kanche, he portrayed Dhupati

Seethadevi who later goes on 

to fight in World War II. His third 

film, Loafer, was directed by Puri 

Jagannath and released on 18 

December 2015. The actor after 

a long break is back with his 

latest movie Mister. Varuntej has 

enough films in his career however 

he failed to score a massive hit 

despite of the most handsome 

Mega actors of Telugu cinema. 

He is born to Telugu actor 

Nagendra Babu and Padmaja. His 

sister is Niharika Konidela who is 

a television anchor and actress. 

Famous actors Chiranjeevi and

well bonded with all his cousins 

along with Sai Dharamtej, Allu 

Sirish who are too actors in 

Tollywood. Varun made an 

impressive debut with Mukunda 

however he received bad 

response for his voice. The film 

failed to make much impact and 

the actor pinned huge hopes 

on his second film Kanche. 

Krish directed the movie which 

received the National Award 

as the best regional film for the 

respective year. The movie too 

recovered the investment but 

failed to make profits as it could 

not appeal to all the sections of 

the audience. 

His next outing Loafer in the 

direction of Puri Jagannadh too 

is a debacle and ended up as a 

massive disappointment. Loafer 

failed to impress the audience 

because of the routine content 

and the poor narration. Varuntej 

and Disha Patani have been 

decent in their roles. The actor 

took a small break and tested 

his luck with Mister. Srinu Vaitla 

is the director of the movie 

and Mister features Lavanya

female leads. Mister shattered 

the dreams of Srinu Vaitla and 

Varuntej as the movie ended 

up as the biggest debacle of all 

times. The film failed to mint Rs 

10 crores in its final run which is 

quite poor. Varuntej is currently 

shooting for Sekhar Kammula's

giving performances with 

his theatre troupe at places 

such as New Delhi, Mumbai, 

Bangalore and Lahore. He 

has directed plays written 


Shivaji in another eponymous 

television series Bharat Ek 

Khoj based on Jawaharlal 

Nehru's book The Discovery 

of India. 

In mid 1990s, Shah also 

hosted some episodes 

of science magazine 

programme Turning Point. In 

1999, he acted as a special 

agent in the TV series 

Tarkash on Zee TV. He 

played the role of a retired 

agent haunted by nightmares 

who is re-inducted as he 

apparently knows something 

about a dreaded terrorist 

somehow connected with 

his past. In 1998, he played 

the role of Mahatma Gandhi 

in the play Mahatma Vs. 

Gandhi, (which looked at 

the Mahatma's relation with 

Harilal Gandhi, his first son). 

by Lavender Kumar, Ismat 

Chughtai and Saadat Hasan 

Manto. His directorial debut 

in movies, Yun Hota To Kya 

Hota, was released in 2006. 

It stars several established 

actors such as Konkona 

Sen Sharma, Paresh Rawal, 

Irfan Khan, then-newcomer 

Ayesha Takia, his son Imaad 

Shah and his old friend Ravi 

Baswani. 

In 1977, Shah, Tom Alter and 

Benjamin Gilani formed a 

theatre group called Motley 

Productions. Their first 

play was Samuel Beckett's 

Waiting for Godot, which 

was staged at the Prithvi 

Theatre on 29 July 1979. 

In 1988, he acted in the 

eponymous television series 

based on the life and times 

of Mirza Ghalib, directed 

by Gulzar and telecast on 

DD National. In 1989, he 

acted as the Maratha King 

With this, he achieved his 

objective of portraying 

Mahatma Gandhi, a role he 

had auditioned for in Richard 

Attenborough's Gandhi. In 

2000, he again portrayed the 

Mahatma, this time on film, 

in Hey Ram. He played the 

villain with the dual identity 

of a ghazal singer and a 

Pakistani spy who supports 

terrorism in India in Sarfarosh 

(1999). He was the first of 

several celebrity actors, who 

played the role of narrator in 

the popular audiobook series 

for kids Karadi Tales. He was 

the narrator in the film Paheli 

— the Indian entry to the 2006 

Academy Awards.

Star Gazing 

ARIES 

Your personal focus is like a razor’s edge this month. Family responsibilities and 

involvement may take you away from the personal desires and plans. Don’t struggle 

with the challenges or try to escape the duties. You are actually at a point in which you can 

release some old childhood memory or limitation. Sitting with patience with family issues can 

bring true release by late June. Keep those personal goals as dreams. The moment will come 

when you can forge ahead – you know, like you always do. 

TAURUS 

Happy Birthday to the zodiac’s 

most steadfast sign! 

This is indeed your birthday 

month and this means that not only do 

you celebrate a special day but a special 

month all month long. The planetary 

positions now bring promises for the year 

ahead. Awareness is your key word for this 

upcoming year. People and circumstances 

enter your life now that open you up to new 

experiences in relating. 

CANCER 

It may seem that life resembles a 

boulder blocking the mouth of a cave. 

That would be a cave that is holding 

you prisoner. This is a good time to do an 

assessment of the past months. Check off the 

events. What wisdom have you gained during 

this time? What are the new responsibilities 

that you have gained mastery over? Yes, 

life may continue to be heavy like a boulder 

but remind yourself often that you are in this 

world but not of it. 

GEMINI 

Is it your money, my money or our 

money? That question is spinning in 

your gray matter. Because dollars are 

often used as a mental stimulus for 

you, that question bears no threat. Rather it 

promises a new way of looking at resources 

and how to use them. Try something different 

this month with money. Close your eyes and try 

to ‘feel’ for your answers. 

LEO 

There is uniqueness in friendships 

this month. Reconnect with old 

friends and be open to the cultivation 

of new friendships. Don’t pick and 

choose. Rather stay open and let others 

pick and choose you. You may pull in some 

questionable characters. But they come as 

teachers even though they aren’t aware of 

their role. Additionally, open up to group 

activities. You may find yourself acting as a 

leader. Use the golden rule now. 


VIRGO 

Ask any artist how to paint and they will tell you first to back away from the canvas 

and second to find your perspective point. Your perspective point is now found in 

backing away from the every day grind and having good old down home philosophical 

discussions with many people. Be sure to choose to talk with some experts. You can’t learn 

too much now, see too much or travel too far. Your mind is like a central switchboard until 

June. You are on a quest for truth. What you find are the colors and hues that fill your life 

canvas. Nice. 

LIBRA 

After the 18th of May, you will have 

a chance to journey backwards. At 

first, it may seem like your drive has 

become like milk-toast. It is, however, the 

reverse. You indeed will have entered a sort of 

Alice-in-Wonderland kind of experience. And 

like Alice, you may go it alone. There will be 

questions. Should I take the blue pill or the red 

pill? Should I follow the white rabbit or stand in 

place? By late June, you will simply come. 

SCORPIO 

If no one was watching and you 

knew that you would not be 

judged, would you let your hair 

down and play? Why not dedicate this month 

to doing just that – playing? The energies 

are right for the experience and you will find 

playmates. They may come as new friends, 

confidants or a new lover. Reach out for the 

experience and regain that youthful glow. 

SAGITTARIUS 

It may not be clear at the moment 

but your actions are setting you 

up for career success. Keep your 

network connections active even though they 

may look like they are dragging. Wherever 

you encounter challenges, know that they 

will turn toward fortune in some basic way. 

Be sure to contact authority figures after 

the 10th of May. The more contacts that are 

made the greater the pay-off. Your partners 

bring in rewards and gifts to you now. 

CAPRICORN 

Seek out a guru this month. You 

will recognize them as he or she 

will have considerable dignity and 

psychological strength. They will have a 

clear understanding of responsibility that 

mirrors your own. You will find a level of 

friendship here that calls out to the inner 

child in you. In turn this connection will 

allow you to play the guru role for someone 

younger or less experienced than yourself. 

AQUARIUS 

The river of life continues to move in 

uncertain rhythms and tides. Along 

with those uncertainties lie frustrations 

and puzzlement, perhaps to the point of tears. 

How unlike you, Dear Aquarius. There must be 

some divine message in these experiences. 

If you would give yourself permission to be 

sensitive, soft, transparent, clairvoyant, slightly 

confused, emotionally vulnerable. 

PISCES 

Can you hum that tune, ‘On a Clear 

Day You Can See Forever’? This is 

the tune you should hum all month. 

The image for you during May is 

a ride in a hot air balloon over a calm sea of 

water. Don’t do any complaining, moaning or 

groaning. Instead count your blessings, for 

indeed you are in planetary graces. And those 

graces set you free. They allow you to be 

extraordinarily creative and vastly intuitive. So 

be honest.
