Tightly scripted, highly nuanced , superbly crafted, "Girls Will Be Girls " is a gem of a film that stays with you.
Shuchi Talati has meticulously directed each scene so that the underlying theme moves forward in a steady progression to where it is headed.
Preeti Panigrahi comes up with an Oscar performance that merits a concentrated look at each footage. The story requires her to come up with exact expression that conveys what goes on in her mind. And Panigrahi is perfectionist.
Kani Kushruti portrays her role of mother but more as a woman that has something missing.
Can't wait for the Vadodara lady to come up with her next.

Maidan" follows in the footsteps of the very successful Shahrukh Khan starrer Chak De India.
Films on sports- remember "1983-"has a niche slot in movie making which requires brilliant cinematography and sharp cutting.
Maidan has that magic of fast moving images.
It has a superb background music score from A. R. Rehman.
Having said all that, Maidan is out and out Ajay Devgan's memorable performance. Portraying coach of the India football team that won Asia Cup in 1962, he grows out of his usual angry intense man image into a serious dedicated pationate coach who inspite of vomiting blood all along due to blood cancer inspires and leads the India Football Team to a victory rare in India's football history.
It is Ajay Devgan all the way. A performance that can nominate him for India 's top film awards.

I was debating before rating Srikanth and writing a review whether it is necessary or even right to assess and inspirational idealistic biopic. Should it be rated from the point of view of cinema as an art form? Or from purely whether it meets it's purpose of inspiring- here a disabled person to win in life, dream big, not to despair. From this point of reviewing Srikanth, it scores big- a rating of 8.
But as a reviewer of cinema as an art form, Srikanth falls a star short, for it's episodic progress, especially hurriedly done in the last reels.
Due credit should be given to much talented Rajkumar who "lives" Srikanth.
Sharad Kelkar provides good support. Aalaya F does not have much to do. Jyotika as teacher is really good.
All in all, a must see biopic.
