Emirati Movie
British actor Jefferson Hall will soon appear on screen in Emirati director Nayla Al Khaja’s psychological thriller “Three,” about a young boy who appears to be possessed.
Al Khaja – who is known for standout shorts including horror film “The Shadow” and “Animal” that both play on Netflix – has just wrapped the independently-produced “Three,” her debut feature, which was shot in Thailand.
Besides, Hall, “Three” also stars Faten Ahmed; Noura Alabed (“Wiladah”); veteran U.A.E. actor Mari Al Halyan (“On Borrowed Time”); Mohannad Bin Huthail (“Rashash”) and emerging Emirati talent Saud Alzarooni.
“Three” marks a rare case of a drama in which a Brit becomes enmeshed with the core of an Emirati family. The film unfolds in an unspecified modern-day Middle Eastern city, where a young boy named Ahmed begins exhibiting strange behavior, eventually leading his mother Maryam, to believe he is possessed. As the plot thickens,...

Starring Sanjay Dutt, Aditi Rao, Sharad Kelkar, Shekhar Suman
Directed by Omung Kumar
Rating: ****(4 stars)
“Jadd se ya dhadh se?” Sanjay Dutt plays a cruel Kbc with his daughter’s rapist, offering to either kill or castrate him.
The pleading, begging rapist takes the knife and plunges it into his pants. Ouch.
I squirmed, as I was meant to. Bhoomi, a film about a father and daughter’s revenge on her wrongdoers set in the seamier side of the city of the Taj Mahal, is not an easy film to view. Just because it stars Sanjay Dutt, don’t expect him to rise Phoenix-like to the occasion. With remarkable disregard for his larger-than-strife image, Sanjay Dutt plays an aging, caring, doting father who is a helpless mute entity in the case to fight his daughter’s violators.
The rape-revenge motif has been done so much to death I wondered why...

Sultan
Starring Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar
Nope, you can’t touch this. Salman Khan’s superstardom is beyond the precincts of rationale or logic. To his credit he is now finally surrendering to his characters. After last year’s Eid’s heartwarming Bajrangi Bhaijaan act, this festive season Salman pushes himself physically and emotionally to a new level of commitment in Sultan.
Playing the goodhearted solidly dependable Haryanvi wrestler Salman brings a kind of feisty vulnerability along with a spiritual certainty to his instantly likeable character. He is no longer interested in being Salman Khan on screen. The physical and emotional transformation is so palpable and authentic as to remind us of what Robert de Niro achieved in and outside the boxing ring in Martin Scorcese’s Raging Bull.
Salman’s accent is pitch-perfect. And that’s where the performance begins. While the actor takes himself dead seriously,...
