Endukante Premanta (2012)

The story of this film is based on the Hollywood flick ‘Just like Heaven’. Ram (Ram) is a mischievous young lad who spends his time in a carefree way. In order to teach Ram the value of money and time, his father Krishna Rao (Shayaji Shinde) packs him off to his friend’s vineyard in Europe. Ram finds the going tough and decides to escape from the vineyard. During this process, he comes across Sravanthi (Tamanna), who happens to be the daughter of the Indian High Commissioner to France (Suman).

Sravanthi hates the restricted lifestyle imposed by her father and decides to break free. She teams up with Ram to escape and heads to India successfully. This is where the story takes a twist and Ram is forced to come to terms with the strange events that start happening. Is Sravanthi really who she says she is? Do they have a bond of love that transcends multiple lifetimes? That needs to be seen on the big screen.

Daruvu (2012)

The story of the film is very similar to other Yamalokam films of the past like Yamaleela, Yamudiki Mogudu and Yamadonga. Bullet Raja ( Ravi Teja) is a small time crook with a good heart. He bumps into Shwetha (Tapsee) at a function and falls in love with her. But Shwetha is already engaged to Harbour Babu (Sushant Singh), a powerful local goon. Harbour Babu hatches a plan to finish off Bullet Raja and he succeeds in his efforts.

Bullet Raja heads to Yamalokam, but he realises that his life is unjustly terminated by Chitragupta (M.S.Narayana) and so he picks up a fight with Yamadharma Raja (Prabhu). A hapless Yamadharma Raja decides to send him back to earth into the body of Home Minister Ravindra, who is killed by his associates (Shayaji Shinde and Avinash). After Bullet Raja enters into the body of Ravinder, he must now confront his enemies and fulfill the wishes of his mother (Jayasudha) and his followers. Whether he succeeds or not forms the rest of the story.

English Vinglish (2012)

Meet Shashi (Sridevi), the perfect Indian middle-aged housewife, who knows no better than to keep her family happy. So, while her ever-busy-with-work hubby (Adil Hussain) and mocking daughter Sapna team up to scoff at her broken English, she takes it in her stride and feeds them yummy food instead. She loves cooking; snacks and ladoos to be precise.

And packets of delicious food items made by her sell like hot cake in the neighbourhood. Her adorable younger son Sagar and mother-in-law (Sulabha Deshpande) provide her with the occasional but much required comic relief. She flies to The United States of America to help out with her niece’s wedding, two weeks before her family would join her. These two weeks prove to be crucial in Shashi’s life. Circumstances compel her to overcome her insecurities; master the English language and eventually transform into a self assured and confident woman.

English Vinglish portrays the most ordinary aspects of life in an extraordinary manner. It explores family values and relationships of a workaholic husband with his wife and that of a mother with her children. May it be the pent up frustration of a housewife, a young daughter grappling with the embarrassment of her mother’s inability to speak proper English or even a husband who believes his wife is only born to make ladoos. Each and every aspect of family dynamics is been handled with utmost care.

Director : Gauri Shinde

Music Director : Amit Trivedi

Starring : Sridevi, Adil Hussain, Sulabha Deshpande, Priya Anand and Mehdi Nebbou
