Australia is Baz Luhrmann’s latest offering and appears to be an epic style film starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. Australia is the story of a woman played by Nicole Kidman who moves from England to Australia to sell a cattle ranch owned by her estranged husband. Upon arrival, she is greeted by her dead husband, and soon uncovers a plot to swindle her cattle business. Calling upon the help of the 'drover' played by Hugh Jackman - the pair set off across Australia to drive the cattle to the shore to sell to the military. Laced with Austrailian culture, aboriginal magic, racial battles and odds-defying love, the story is both heartwarming and exhilarating. Australia has amazing set production and visuals throughout. The movie is beautiful to look at and inspires you to make a trip to Australia. So is this going to be the next Gone with the Wind??

Finally, after a span of 8 years we got the opportunity to witness the magic of the most successful actor – director jodi, SRK and Aditya Chopra. And I must say, yet again, the jodi did not let us down. Although the movie has been written off by the critics, I feel that the masses (including myself) have enjoyed it thoroughly. I think it was funny, sweet, the intense and climax was handled really well. It is one of those movies which have a repeat value. I’ve seen it twice… still counting. SRK was at his best and Anushka was a total surprise. She is really confident and did a great job. Vinay in that brief role was adorable. So how many of you are actually waiting for ‘Pehli Barish’? How many of you are actually planning to have a gol gappa competition? And how many of you thought about going to Japan?

Madagascar Escape to Africa promises to be fun for all ages and complete family entertainer.

The plane crashes and they find out that they have landed in the wild in Africa. The directors have used different computer techniques that made it more magical. Each time you watch the movie you can find a new feature. Also the humor element is still intact in the film. So will this sequel surpass its predecessor?

Perhaps this is first time in Bollywood history that two of the biggest Khan’s of the industry are releasing their movie in the same month.
