The film, ‘The Last Lear’ has a good performance of Amitabh Bachchan who tries to play a man who worked long in Shakespearian Theater and he starts living in the Shakespearian stories only. His skills in theatre is exploited by a movie director as he is called to perform a role in modern cinema. The actor is left with fatal injuries after the shoot. The film tries to say that cinema as a medium is less powerful and unrealistic, when compared to stage.

As Indian film mogul Bharat Shah languishes in jail, his long awaited and controversially held back release Chori Chori Chupke Chupke finally hits British cinemas.

DIRECTED by Abbas Mustan, the man who gave us thrillers Baazigar, Darr and Soldier, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (CCCC) stars muscle man Salman Khan and gorgeous Bollywood babes Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta. The film tells the story of Raj (Salman) and Priya (Rani) Malhotra, a young couple who meet and fall in love after a chance meeting at a friend’s wedding.
