Bombay Talkie is Merchant Ivory's affectionate bemused view of bollywood - India's huge dream factory. The film is like a brightly coloured sumptuous Indian sweet covered in gold foil and cameraman Subrata Mitra's ravishing photography has never been surpassed in any other of James Ivory's films. The story set off by elaborate studio numbers is a melodrama echoing those of Bombay's mass audience movies and the sexy best sellers of the film's heroine American authoress Lucia Lane (Jennifer Kendal). Visiting India in search of 'new material' she becomes romantically involved with handsome move star Vikram (Shashi Kapoor). When that doesn't work out she flees to an ashram to take up the spiritual life. That also - hilariously - doesn't work out and the ill-fated couple get together again with explosive results.

Palaces, princesses and politics--on the face of it Indian art cinema doyen Shyam Benegal's maiden foray into Bollywood, Zubeidaa, appears to have all the ingredients of a mainstream success. However, the film is at best an uneasy blend of art-house sensibilities with the full-on spectacle that is commercial Hindi cinema. This is the latest in a series of semi-autobiographical stories by writer Khalid Mohamed that have been directed by Benegal. Here the director charts the story of Zubeidaa, a young aristocratic Muslim woman, whose promising film career is cut short. She is married off young, has a son, is divorced and finally finds love with the married ruler of a princely state in newly independent India. Told in flashback, the film's structure and some key scenes are very similar to the director's masterpiece Bhumika ("The Role", 1976). Karisma Kapoor, hitherto known for her scantily clad raunchy roles, makes her bid for artistic credentials as the eponymous heroine. But much like the film itself, her performance falls between two stools. Veteran actress Rekha who plays her paramour's first wife easily outclasses her in a graceful yet forceful performance. AR Rahman's music is haunting, dreamy and helps create a mood and ambience that the visuals fail to produce. On the DVD: Zubeidaa is presented in a pleasing anamorphic transfer with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. While the menus are easy enough to navigate, the extras are disappointing, consisting of a faded theatrical trailer and a few television promos complete with dropouts. The subtitling, though largely accurate, makes quite a few errors. For example "cemetery" appears as "symmetry" while the word "diary" consistently appears as "dairy". --Naman Ramachandran

Written and directed by Anees Bazmee, Deewangee is a psychological thriller that revolves around a brutal murder and the subsequent trial, and is unusual for an Indian film in that it attempts to explore the darker sides of the human psyche. Deewangee tells the story of Tarang Bhardwaj (Ajay Devgan), a talented musician, with an exceptional mind, who is caught red-handed at the murder of Ashwin Mehta (Vijayendra Ghatge), a famous music director. Convinced that Tarang is innocent, Sargam (Urmila Matondkar), his childhood friend and music student, approaches Raj Goyal (Akshaye Khanna), a criminal lawyer with a line of successes, to defend him in court. Drawn into the case by a strong attraction for Sargam, Raj finds himself entangled in an extremely complicated trial that puts his own life and those of his loved ones in danger. When the killer is revealed, Raj is pitted against a man so manipulative and shrewd that he begins to doubt his own thinking. Deewangee has an engaging plot: murder, mystery, courtroom drama, love and revelations that can shake the audience's own beliefs. All three of the lead actors give the performance of their careers and the makers of the film have attended to every detail in order to keep the audience riveted. On the DVD: Deewangee on disc comes with a making of feature, special song and scene selections, and a vibrant display of forthcoming attractions. --Anika Puri
