Singh Is Kinng, the year's most anticipated romantic action-comedy, revolves around a gang of serio-comic criminals who are transformed by a good man and his selfless love for a pretty girl…Lakhan. Singh aka Lucky is the 'King' of the Australian underworld accompanied by his associates. Far away, in a small village in Punjab, where Lucky was born, there exists someone more notorious than Lucky - Happy Singh. The village is fed up of his magnanimity, which has resulted in several disastrous situations. It is decided to send Singh on a long trip (that will keep him out of the village for a while) to bring back Lucky, whose despicable deeds, were maligning the image of their village. A happy-go-lucky Happy Singh, as usual, takes his mission too seriously! Along with his friend Tony Singh, who hates Happy for dragging him into this journey, he leaves for his mission. En route to Australia, he meets Sonia with whom he falls in love. After a series of comic misadventures in Australia, Happy is left with no money or shelter. The series of confusion, chaos and comic misunderstandings result in havoc, redemption and an accidental wedding! Singh Is Kinng marks Akshay Kumar's re-entry into the action-comedy minefield, supported by an able ensemble cast. With plenty of romance, chuckles, laugh-aloud moments and world music, it promises to be one of the most appealing and compelling motion pictures of 2008.

Up in the Air
From director Jason Reitman, who has brought us both Juno and Thank You For Not Smoking, an outstanding third outing with a cast that features three actors all Oscar-nominated for their roles here. George Clooney plays a “downsizing expert,” a man who has no real roots as he constantly flys all around the country firing people from their jobs. He meets his match in Vera Famiga, also a downsizing expert. Hot on their heels is the up & coming young Anna Kendrick, who wants to do the same job via video conferencing rather than racking up all of the frequent flier miles. The movie manages to capture perfectly our current economic crisis – a film for our time.

Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Saphire
Two major Academy Awards nominations for the lead actresses here. The film takes an unsparing look at the life of a Harlem teenager, circa 1987, played by newcomer Gabourey Sidibe. She’s illiterate, overweight, and pregnant for the second time by her own father. This is tough stuff. Her monster of a mother is played by Mo'Nique in an electrifying, Oscar-winning performance. Also included in the film is Mariah Carey as a social worker and Lenny Kravitz as a male nurse. An interesting variety in the cast and we see the same eclectic variety in the way the story is told. Director Lee Daniels has made a strong film that is at times dramatic, humorous, and warm – a film of many emotions. Nonetheless, a film that, as Oprah Winfrey has said, people might not “enjoy” but would “appreciate this experience.” An Oscar also went to Geoffrey Fletcher for his adapted screenplay.
Old Dogs
John Travolta and Robin Williams star in this tired comedy about two business partners whose lives are turned upside down when one of them discovers they have two 7-year-old twin kids they didn’t know about. Seth Green co-stars in this unfunny comedy.
Planet 51
Light animated fare that is very much in the classic, 1950s Hollywood movie tradition where an alien ship lands on the home planet. However, in this case, the home planet is inhabited by little green men and a human is the invading alien! Dwayne Johnson, Justin Long, and Jessica Biel are among the voice talents.
Capitalism: A Love Affair
Light animated fare that is very much in the classic, 1950s Hollywood movie tradition where an alien ship lands on the home planet. However, in this case, the home planet is inhabited by little green men and a human is the invading alien! Dwayne Johnson, Justin Long, and Jessica Biel are among the voice talents.
