Hamari Adhuri Kahani (English: Our Incomplete Story) is a 2015 Indian romantic drama film directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Mahesh Bhatt under the banner Vishesh Films and Fox Star Studios. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan, and Rajkummar Rao. It is based on the love story of Bhatt's parents, Nanabhai Bhatt, Shirin Mohammad Ali and his stepmother. The film was released worldwide on 12 June 2015 receiving mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. Despite having above average collections, the film was rated flop by Box Office India and Koimo.


The movie opens with a woman Vasudha (Vidya Balan) getting off from the bus. At 15 km before the Bastar district, she stumbles and falls down after walking a few steps. An elderly man, Hari, sees a psychiatrist about hallucinations of his wife. He is then recruited by his daughter-in-law, who takes him to his wife's funeral. There, he steals her ashes and leaves a diary for his son.

The story then jumps to the past, where Vasudha, is a florist and a single mother whose husband is missing for five years. Bound to traditions, she has been waiting for him since he left her. Vasudha meets Aarav Ruparel (Emraan Hashmi) in one of his hotels, where she works as a floral arranger. He creates a mock fire drill in order to watch the capabilities of the security department. Vasudha comes to save him. He offers her a job in his hotel in Dubai, which she refuses. Despite her refusal Aarav asks her to reconsider the offer. Vasudha gets to know from the police that her husband Hari (Rajkumar Rao) has murdered five American journalists and he is a member of a terrorist group. The police asks her to inform about Hari if he ever visits her. Worried for her son's future, she accepts the offer given by Aarav.

Despite knowing about Vasudha's past and her son, Aarav falls in love with her. Aarav tells Vasudha about his mother, who was a cabaret singer and a single parent and how she fell in love with a man who tried to commit suicide for failing to save them from poverty. Vasudha shuns his feelings saying that she belongs to someone else and leaves. Vasudha meets Aarav's mother on his request where she accepts Aarav's love and both unite. They both spend romantic moments together. Aarav gives a divorce paper to Vasudha before dropping her home. Vasudha then encounters Hari at home, and tells him about Aarav. Hari then storms out in anger where he is arrested by the police and later jailed for being a wanted criminal. Vasudha asks Aarav to save Hari as he is innocent. Aarav tries to save Hari by bribing the chief minister who reveals that Hari himself accepted his crime. Vasudha refuses to marry Aarav because Hari's action tells her that he sacrifices his life for them to be together. It is then revealed to Aarav that Hari deliberately accepts his crime so that Vasudha will live in guilt as she will think Hari sacrificed himself for their love. In order to free Vasudha out of her guilt, Aarav travels to bastar where Hari is accused of killing, to prove Hari's innocent. Aarav meets Father Dayal who explains what happened with the journalists and reveals Hari's innocence. On the way back to Mumbai, Aarav smells the scent of the same flowers which first caused him to meet Vasudha. Following the scent, he goes into the jungle, not knowing that the place has mines. He accidentally steps on one of the mines. Realising his predicament, Aarav smiles just before taking his foot off the mine. Vasudha receives the news of Aarav's death and is shattered. Vasudha leaves Hari, who searches for her for two years. After finding her, she reveals to him that she knows about his fake sacrifice and tells him that she is not afraid of any traditions and boundaries. He warns her that she will come back to him one day. Hari waits for Vasudha twenty-one years in vain.

Back in the present, it is now clear that the woman who gets off the bus is Vasudha and she wanted to be reunited with Aarav where he died. In the end Hari takes Vasudha's ashes to scatter them at the forest of Bastar where Aarav died. Thus Aarav and Vasudha reunite after death.

The backdrop on the upper part of the poster are paintings of historical romance based fictional duos as well as it has Ravana with his ten heads, a face that resembles Hanuman, and another one of Lord Shiva. A jinn, two lovers and a woman in Yogi attire also appear in the art. The digital image shows a man and a woman who are laughing and walking with intertwined arms on an art-wall street. Film title, the names of director, producer, film score composer and the release date appears at the bottom.Tamasha (English: Spectacle) is a 2015 Indian romantic drama film written and directed by Imtiaz Ali and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. It features Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The film score and soundtrack album was composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics from Irshad Kamil.
Filmed briefly in Corsica, Indian cities–Shimla, Delhi, Gurgaon, Kolkata; followed by two-day schedule in Tokyo, Tamasha tells the story of character Ved Vardhan Sahni (played by Kapoor) who loses his self by living according to the social conventions expected of him. The film portrays Ved's life in three stages–as a nine-year-old child, a 19-year-old adolescent and a 30-year-old adult in a spectacle-based non-linear screenplay. Tara Maheshwari (played by Padukone) identifies herself more with Ved's life, helping him to come out of his split personality and become a spectacle-oriented performer. The story is based on the central theme of abrasion and loss of self resulting from a constant attempt to fit in oneself back.

The film was released on November 27, 2015 to mixed reviews by film critics.However, they praised the performances of lead actors but criticised the unsatisfactory togetherness of the plot. The film received nominations for direction, music and performances of the lead actors, notably Kapoor being nominated under Filmfare Award for Best Actor category and Irshad Kamil winning the Filmfare Award for Best Lyrics for his lyrical work to the soundtrack album of the film.
The film opens with Ved Vardhan Sahni (Ranbir Kapoor) as an adult and Tara Maheshwari (Deepika Padukone), who are in a spectacle which shows of the monotonous life of a person in the corporate world. A scene in the spectacle turns to a flashback in Shimla where younger Ved Vardhan Sahni (Yash Sehgal) and his father (Javed Sheikh) return to home from school. As a child, Ved is fascinated by the stories narrated by a road side story teller (Piyush Mishra) who keeps mixing up his characters.

In the present, the film moves to Corsica where Tara meets adult Ved. However, they have a verbal pact to keep their real identities undisclosed. They explore the island together. They make conversations as "Don" and "Mona Darling". Running out of money, they put up a spectacle at an expensive restaurant. As Tara is set to leave for India, she is lovelorn despite a romantic friendship with Ved. The story flashes back to young Ved who questions the story-teller about the reason for happy times ending up quickly.

Tara returns to Kolkata in India and her routine life is shown through the song "Heer To Badi Sad Hai". Tara's father (played by Nikhil Bhagat) hands over his tea business to Tara so that she starts a line of tea boutiques, taking the company ahead. She is off to Delhi for work and four years have passed. Once upon a day, Tara surprisingly meets the adult Ved, who is now a product manager. They reveal their original identities. She makes an attempt to move ahead of the unrequited love by fixing a dinner with Ved at a Japanese restaurant. She expects him to talk like the days in Corsica but Ved talks about business. She calls Ved up home to be intimate. Ved leaves for his home and next morning Ved wakes up on time, completes the morning chores, wipes the car, ignores the eunuch on the way, lets a female colleague into the lift—all this happens on his way to the office. He fixes a plan for meeting Tara again in the evening. The evening to evening incidents repeat monotonically.

It is Ved's birthday when he proposes Tara but she is unhappy with a changed Ved after his arrival from Corsica. She declines the proposal. Ved leaves for his home by an auto-rickshaw driver (played by Ishteyak Khan) who narrates how his dreams of becoming a singer were crushed.

The film goes in flashback, scene in Shimla, where Ved tells his weakness in Mathematics and doesn't wish to do engineering. His Dad narrates him that he had to give up his interest for flute playing to support his family after they moved to Shimla from Lahore post the Partition of India.

The film comes back to present day Delhi where he starts telling his life story to some local people in search of answers and certain flashback scenes of Shimla are shown where Ved leaves Shimla to pursue engineering. Ved, due to his split personality ends up upsetting his boss by non-sensical business meeting performance. The story returns to Tara's door where Ved puts up his frustration at Tara. Tara promises him to help him come out of his divergent behaviors but he leaves.

The next day, Ved continues his office routine with a change, now giving the diamond ring to the eunuch. Ved comes back to Shimla and revealing his joblessness. After a quarrel with his father, Ved gains introspection from a reflection in the mirror where he realizes that to complete his own story, he needs to meet the same story-teller. The story-teller criticizes Ved's regression, compelling him to complete his own story. Ved narrates his life story to his family members. Moved by this, his father lets Ved pursue his interest.

Ved returns to Delhi and takes the diamond ring back from the eunuch. Tara, after finishing a business meeting at Oracle in Tokyo, she heads for refreshment where she finds a note titled "Don Returns". Perplexed about Ved's presence, she moves around the office campus where Ved draws her attention as the disguised "Don" in Corsica.

The film goes into a flashback and shows scenes from Shimla of a free spirited-young Ved, a college going Ved and an adult Ved. The film returns to present day (first scene of the film) where Ved and Tara complete the process of putting up a show on stage (in continuation of the opening scene of the film) through the spectacle which is the complete story of the film on presented on the stage.

Devdas - Indian romantic drama film

Devdas.jpg
Devdas is a 2002 Indian romantic drama film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and based on the 1917 Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel Devdas. This is the third Hindi version and the first film version of the story in Hindi done in colour. The film follows Devdas (Shah Rukh Khan), a wealthy law graduate in the early 1900s, who returns from his studies in London to marry his childhood sweetheart, Paro (Aishwarya Rai). However, the rejection of this marriage by his own family sparks his descent into alcohol, ultimately leading to his emotional deterioration.

It was ranked #74 in Empire magazines "The 100 Best Films Of World Cinema" in 2010.Time Magazine named Devdas as the best movie of 2002 among all the movies released around the world that year.The film was recently included in Time Magazine's top 10 movies of the millennium worldwide.

The acting was seen by many as the primary factor for the film's success, with Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai all winning Filmfare Awards for their performances. The film's success was also attributed to the dance performances, with Dixit's "Maar Daala" considered one of the most iconic of her career and the song "Dola Re Dola" becoming a hit due to the unique dance duet between Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai, two of the leading actresses of the epoch. At the time of its release, Devdas was the most expensive Bollywood film ever produced, with a reported budget of ₹50 crore (US$7.4 million). The film was a major commercial success in India and abroad, becoming the highest grossing Indian film of the year.
In the early 1900s, Kaushalya (Smita Jaykar) hears that her younger son, Devdas (Shah Rukh Khan), is about to return home after leaving 10 years ago for law school in England. Kaushalya tells her neighbor Sumitra (Kirron Kher), who is overjoyed.

Sumitra's daughter, Parvati "Paro" Chakraborty (Aishwarya Rai) and Devdas share a deep friendship rooted in childhood. When Devdas was sent to England, Paro had lit an oil lamp to prompt his return and never allowed it to extinguish.

When Devdas returns, the childhood friendship between him and Paro turns to love. Everyone believes that Devdas and Paro will get married, but Devdas' scheming sister-in-law Kumud (Ananya Khare) reminds Kaushalya of Paro's maternal lineage of nautch girls and nautanki performers, which is inappropriate for the Mukherjee family. Sumitra publicly announces her desire for Devdas and Paro to marry, and Kaushalya rejects and humiliates her in public by saying that she is from a lower class. Devastated, Sumitra hastily arranges Paro's marriage to a man from a family wealthier than the Mukherjees: Thakur Bhuvan Chaudhry (Vijayendra Ghatge), a forty-year-old widower aristocrat with three grown children.

When Devdas' father also rejects Paro, Devdas leaves his parents' house and takes refuge at a brothel. He leaves a letter for Paro, falsely stating that love had never existed between them. At the brothel, he meets a good-hearted tawaif (courtesan) named Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit), who falls in love with him. Soon, Devdas realizes his mistake in abandoning Paro. He returns to her during her wedding and asks her to elope but Paro refuses, reminding him of the way he had discarded her so easily.

Paro learns from her new husband that he has married her only to be mother to his children and lady of the estate, but that his love is only for his late first wife. She dutifully fulfills her responsibilities, while Devdas, heartbroken at having lost Paro, permanently moves to Chandramukhi's brothel and becomes an alcoholic. When Devdas' father is on his deathbed, he asks to see his son Devdas, but Devdas arrives later, at his father's funeral--shamefully and obviously drunk. He causes a scene and eventually passes out.

Eventually, Devdas becomes so ill that the slightest dose of alcohol could kill him. He returns to the family home to heal, and discovers that his sister-in-law has stolen his mother's keys to the family safe. He confronts her but Kumud tells his mother that Devdas had stolen the keys. His mother believes her and Devdas leaves, banished. Paro arrives at Chandramukhi's brothel, accusing her of driving Devdas to drink, but quickly realizes that Chandramukhi loves Devdas. Paro urges Devdas to stop drinking, but Devdas remains stubborn. He promises Paro that before he dies, he will come to her doorstep one last time.

Paro invites Chandramukhi to a celebration of Durga Puja at her husband's home and introduces her to her in-laws without revealing Chandramukhi's profession. However, Bhuvan's ill-natured son-in-law Kalibabu (Milind Gunaji), a frequent visitor to the brothel, reveals Chandramukhi's background and humiliates her in front of the guests. He also tells Bhuvan of Paro's relationship with Devdas. As a result, Bhuvan permanently forbids Paro from leaving the mansion. Devdas tells Chandramukhi that she must let him go, and decides to travel the country; on a train, he meets his old college friend Chunnibabu (Jackie Shroff), who urges him to drink in the name of friendship. Devdas drinks, knowing full well it will be fatal.

On the verge of death, Devdas travels to Paro's house to honor his promise, collapsing under a tree in front of the main gate. Paro runs through the mansion, attempting to reach him. Bhuvan sees this and orders the servants to shut the gates. Devdas sees a blurred image of Paro running towards him, but the gates close just before she can reach him, leaving her sobbing inside. Devdas whispers Paro's name with his last breath as he slowly dies, and immediately Paro's lamp flickers out.

The film's soundtrack was composed by Jatin-Lalit, while the lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi. The film is notable for being the first time that Bachchan and Khan appeared on-screen together.


The film went on to do well both critically and commercially. Although only the second highest grosser of the year domestically, it became the highest grossing film of 2000 overseas and thus worldwide. It also won several awards including the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor and the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, for Khan and Bachchan respectively.
Narayan Shankar (Amitabh Bachchan) is the strict headmaster of Gurukul, a prestigious all-boys university. Narayan wants the best out of his students, and places emphasis on tradition, honor and discipline. He has run the university for 25 years and over that time, he has forbid the students from any kind of romance — anyone he catches falling in love will be expelled. The film focuses on three of the school's students: Sameer (Jugal Hansraj), Vicky (Uday Chopra) and Karan (Jimmy Shergill) who all fall in love. Sameer is in love with Sanjana (Kim Sharma), his childhood friend. Vicky falls for Ishika (Shamita Shetty), a student at the all-girls university next door to Gurukul. Karan becomes smitten with Kiran (Preeti Jhangiani), a girl he sees one night at a train station. All three know that if they're caught they'd be expelled, so they at first do not pursue their love interests.

Raj Aryan (Shahrukh Khan) joins Gurukul as a music teacher. He challenges the status quo and slowly introduces changes that Narayan dislikes. Raj is a strong believer of love, and when he learns the stories of the three boys, he encourages them to follow their hearts. The boys take his advice, but are disappointed: Sameer discovers that Sanjana has a boyfriend; Vicky only makes Ishika dislike him when trying to woo her; Karan learns that Kiran is married to a pilot who is assumed to be dead. Raj tells the boys to not be disheartened, and tells them that his love, Megha (Aishwarya Rai) is dead, but he continues to love her and imagines that she is still by his side. Raj encourages the boys to continue to stay loyal to their loves.

One day Raj throws a party in Gurukul, inviting the students from the girls' school from next door as part of his plan to spread love in Gurukul. Narayan is furious and threatens to fire him. Raj then reveals he was a student at Gurukul years ago, and he fell in love with Megha, who was Narayan's only daughter. Narayan had Raj expelled without ever seeing his face, and afterward Megha committed suicide. Raj returned to Gurukul as a teacher in the hopes of changing Narayan's ways and honoring his love for Megha. Raj promises that before he leaves Gurukul, he will fill it with so much love that even Narayan will not be able to remove it. Narayan accepts this challenge, and allows Raj to continue as a teacher for a while longer.

Sameer, Vicky, and Karan one by one win over the girls they love. Narayan retaliates by tightening the rules of Gurukul, but the boys continue to break the rules, which encourages other students to do the same. Narayan finally decides to expel the three, and Raj speaks up on their behalf, telling Narayan that he is the instigator and the boys should not be punished for it. Raj also says that he feels Narayan lost the battle, because his daughter left him and now Raj (who considered Narayan an elder) is leaving him. Raj's words make Narayan realise his mistake. He publicly apologises to the students and steps down as the principal, allowing Raj to take over. Raj turns Gurukul into a love-filled university. In the end Raj, Narayan and a vision of Megha walk happily together towards the gates of Gurukul.

Balasubrahmanyam, Vadivelu and Girish Karnad in supporting roles. The soundtrack and background score helmed by A. R. Rahman remained a chartbuster. The film was dubbed into Telugu as Rakshakudu.
Story
Ajay (Nagarjuna) is an unemployed youth who always gets into trouble because of his temper. This angry young man gets heated up when he encounters anyone committing a crime; he takes the law into his own hands, beats them up and then gives them some free advice. Ajay’s father (S. P. Balasubrahmanyam), who works for an insurance firm, is very unhappy with his son’s attitude, and tries his best to change Ajay's attitude through a meditation expert but he fails in this matter as the expert suggests that Ajay's anguish is reasonable. Ajay meets Sonia (Sushmita Sen) through his father, and Sonia falls in love with him. What Sonia likes about Ajay is his temper and anger when he encounters anything which is against the law. Sonia gets Ajay’s father's help to get Ajay to love her. Still, Ajay is not interested in her and seriously rejects her at first; but he later changes his mind after going through some unusual situations, and love blossoms between them.

Sonia’s father Sriram (Girish Karnad) is an industrialist who owns the Daewoo automotive manufacturing facility. He has no objection to his daughter’s relationship with Ajay but has one condition: Ajay must become employed in his factory, control his temper for three months, and not get into any fight whatsoever, even if he encounters a crime happening in front of his eyes. If Ajay cannot do this he will not be allowed to marry Sonia. With a heavy heart, Ajay agrees to the condition; Sonia's love for Ajay deepens and Sriram offers Ajay a job in his factory. Sriram actually has his own problems with his factory in a loss; ten of his workers are working with his rival and younger stepbrother Gnaneswar (Raghuvaran), and they hamper the progress of his factory with frequent, pre-planned mishaps. This leads to the factory's property loss.

Gnaneswar is the son of Sriram's stepmother who gets deceived by Sriram and loses his share of his father's common business empire. Further, in unusual circumstances, Gnaneswar spends some years in jail and returns with a planned conspiracy and vengeance on his stepbrother Sriram. Gnaneswar is now trying to put Sriram out of business, so his ten men create havoc in the factory by killing old workers and raging new workers. So when Ajay comes to work in Sriram’s factory, these ten men do the same to Ajay. Ajay keeps cool, trying to keep his promise to Sriram. But Sriram hopes otherwise; he wants Ajay to break the promise and beat up the ten men and throw them out of the factory. At the same time, Sriram hopes that the imminent marriage between Ajay and Sonia will be canceled since he does not want his daughter to get married to an angry street fighter like Ajay. So Sriram keeps on hoping that Ajay will somehow burst out.

When Ajay's father is murdered, he banishes the ten men from the factory. Meanwhile, Gnaneswar kidnaps Sonia and blackmails Ajay and Sriram that Sonia is going to kill herself (to save Ajay from Gnaneswar) and destroy Sriram's factory by bombarding it with a truck armed with a powerful Russian explosive. The rest of the film concerns the manner in which Gnaneswar spends his time in jail and develops his own business empire to crush Sriram, how Sriram's criminal deeds and false motives are exposed to his daughter, what happens to Easwar and Sriram's business empire, and how Sonia is rescued by Ajay.

Night of the Living Dead - American independent horror film,

Night of the Living Dead affiche.jpgNight of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent horror film, directed by George A. Romero, starring Duane Jones and Judith O'Dea. It premiered on October 1, 1968, and was completed on a $114,000 budget. The film became a financial success, grossing $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally. It has been a cult classic ever since. Night of the Living Dead was heavily criticized at its release for its explicit gore. It eventually garnered critical acclaim and has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry, as a film deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
The story follows characters Ben (Jones), Barbra (O'Dea), and five others trapped in a rural farmhouse in Western Pennsylvania, which is attacked by a large and growing group of unnamed "living dead" monsters drawing on earlier depictions in popular culture of Ghoul, which has led this type of creature to be referred to most popularly as a zombie. This is the most easily recognized version of the living dead, to the point where people gather in mass quantities for conventions dressed as zombies, complete with makeup and prosthetic limbs. Night of the Living Dead led to five subsequent films between 1978 and 2010, also directed by Romero, and has inspired several remakes.
Barbra (Judith O'Dea) and Johnny Blair (Russell Streiner) drive to rural Pennsylvania for an annual visit to their father's grave. This was their mother's request. Johnny teases, "They're coming to get you, Barbra," noticing Barbra's discomfort. She is then attacked by a strange man (Bill Hinzman). Johnny tries to rescue his sister, but the man throws him against a gravestone; Johnny strikes his head on the stone and dies. Barbra flees by car but crashes into a tree. She escapes on foot, with the stranger in pursuit, and later arrives at a farmhouse, where she discovers a woman's mangled corpse. She is confronted by strange menacing figures, running out of the house, like the man in the graveyard. Ben (Duane Jones) takes her into the house. Ben drives the monsters from the house and seals the doors and windows as Barbra slowly descends into shock and insanity.

Ben and Barbra are unaware that the farmhouse has a cellar, housing an angry married couple Harry (Karl Hardman) and Helen Cooper (Marilyn Eastman), along with their daughter Karen (Kyra Schon). They sought refuge after a group of zombies overturned their car. Tom (Keith Wayne) and Judy (Judith Ridley), who are a teenage couple, arrived after hearing an emergency broadcast about a series of brutal murders. Karen has fallen seriously ill after being bitten by one of the zombies. They ventured upstairs when Ben turns on a radio, while Barbra awakens from a stupor. Harry demands that everyone hide in the cellar, but Ben deems it a "deathtrap" and continues upstairs, to barricade the house with Tom's help.

Radio reports explain that a wave of mass murder is sweeping across the eastern United States. The emergency broadcaster (Charles Craig) reports that the recently deceased have become reanimated and are consuming the flesh of the living, from the television Ben finds. Experts, scientists, and the United States military fail to discover the cause, though one scientist suspects radioactive contamination from a space probe. It returned from Venus, and deliberately exploded in the Earth's atmosphere when the radiation was detected.

Ben plans to obtain medical care for Karen when the reports listed local rescue centers offering refuge and safety. Ben and Tom refuel Ben's truck while Harry hurls molotov cocktails from an upper window at the "undead". Judy follows him, fearing Tom's safety, Tom accidentally spills gasoline on the truck, at the pump, setting it ablaze. Tom and Judy try to drive the truck away from the pump, but Judy is unable to free herself from its door, and the truck explodes, instantly killing Tom and Judy.

Ben returns to the house, but is locked out by Harry. He forces entry. Ben beats him, angered by his cowardice, while the undead feed on the remains of Tom and Judy. A news report reveals that, only a gunshot or heavy blow to the head can stop them, aside from setting the "reactivated bodies" on fire. It also reported that posses of armed men are patrolling the countryside to restore order.

The lights go out moments later, and the living dead break through the barricades. Harry grabs Ben's rifle and threatens to shoot him, but Ben wrestles the gun away and fires. Harry stumbles into the cellar and collapses next to Karen, mortally wounded. She has also died from her illness. The undead try to pull Helen and Barbra through the windows, but Helen frees herself. She returns to the refuge of the cellar and Karen is reanimated and eating Harry's corpse. Helen is frozen in shock, and Karen stabs her to death with a masonry trowel. Barbra is carried away by the horde and devoured, seeing Johnny among the living dead. The undead overrun the house. Ben seals himself inside the cellar, where Harry and Helen are reanimating, and he is forced to shoot them.

Ben is awakened by the posse's gunfire outside the next morning. He ventures upstairs. A member of the posse mistakes him for a zombie and shoots him through the forehead. The film ends with a photo montage of Ben as he is burned with the fallen zombies.

Ringstrilogyposter.jpg
The Lord of the Rings is a film series consisting of three high fantasy adventure films directed by Peter Jackson. They are based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. The films are subtitled The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). They were distributed by New Line Cinema.


Considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious film projects ever undertaken, with an overall budget of $281 million (some sources say $310 million-$330 million), the entire project took eight years, with the filming for all three films done simultaneously and entirely in New Zealand, Jackson's native country.Each film in the series also had special extended editions released on DVD a year after their respective theatrical releases. While the films follow the book's general storyline, they do omit some of the novel's plot elements and include some additions to and deviations from the source material.

Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth, the films follow the hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) as he and a Fellowship embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring, and thus ensure the destruction of its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron (Sala Baker). The Fellowship becomes divided and Frodo continues the quest together with his loyal companion Sam (Sean Astin) and the treacherous Gollum (Andy Serkis). Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), heir in exile to the throne of Gondor, and the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) unite and rally the Free Peoples of Middle-earth in the War of the Ring.

The series was a major financial success, with the films collectively being among the highest-grossing film series of all time. The films were critically acclaimed and heavily awarded, winning 17 out of 30 total Academy Award nominations. The final film in the series, The Return of the King, won all of its 11 Academy Awards nominations including Best Picture, and that also tied it with Ben-Hur and Titanic for most Academy Awards received for a film. The series received wide praise for its innovative special and visual effects

Realizing that the only way Bhavani can rest in peace is by bringing her killer to face justice, Siddharth and his friends attempt to solve the mystery of her death themselves. They track down the auto driver that helped Siddharth save Bhavani and he tells them that he saw a green car driving away after the accident. They then manage to track down the green car at a shady workshop. The driver turns out to be a young man who stole an orphaned child from the hospital since he and his wife cannot have children of their own. The driver's cousin who was in the car that day tells Siddharth that she saw the actual car that hit Bhavani that day and that it was not green but red. Siddharth then goes back to the auto driver and asks him to differentiate between red apples and green ones, which he cannot since he is colour blind.

Finally realizing that he is the killer, Siddharth goes to tell Bhavani's father the truth. The ghost tries to stop him but he still reveals the truth. Overridden with guilt, Siddharth tries to commit suicide. Bhavani's spirit saves Siddharth from committing suicide by cremating her own body that her father had preserved all this time in the ice, thus moving on to the next world. the girl's father comforts Siddharth saying that he is a very kind hearted person and he would have never done that intentionally and that is why his daughter fell in love with him and stayed with him.
