The film deals with the connection between Sex and Spirituality.Cosmic Sex is the story of a young man Kripa who is on the run from sex and violence one night in Kolkata when he meets a woman Sadhavi who strangely resembles his dead mother.


This movie is at the end of our world.... I have a very very big respect to the Director Amitabh Chakraborthy for making this movie and to the Actress Rii (She also fame of Gandu (2010)) for giving a bravest performance ever.

Budhia Singh – Born to Run is positioned as a biopic of the world’s youngest marathon runner, but it’s as much an indictment of Indian bureaucracy and petty politics as it is true story of the five-year-old tyke whose achievements it celebrates. Winner of the National Award for Best Children’s Film earlier this year (under its original title, Duronto), this stirring drama, written and directed by first-timer Soumendra Padhi, Manoj Bajpayee has given a fine performance. Do give it a watch. It's still a lot better than many other Bollywood movies this year.

The BFG is a winsome tale from Roald Dahl, a writer who hardly went in for easy, simple pleasures, even in his children’s tales. Spielberg, on the other hand, is a director whose heart lies in such delights. The two meet here to bring us a film that is true to Dahl’s story, but Spielberg’s spirit.

Based on a novel by Yutaka Maekawa, Creepy is sedate and studied, a slowburn to the point of stagnation hardly essential, domestic nightmare with a dark, disturbing reveal.Pulse director Kiyoshi Kurosawa returns to suburban shocks with a serial killer chiller favouring suspicion over suspense.

The film takes place in a rural village of ethnic Estonians in Abkhazia, Set in 1992, during the growing conflict between Georgia and Abkhazian separatists in the wake of the Soviet Union's dissolution,When the war comes to their doorsteps, Ivo (played by legendary Estonian actor Lembit Ulfsak) takes in two wounded soldiers from opposite sides. The fighters vow to kill each other when they recover, but their extended period of recovery has a humanizing effect that might transcend ethnic divides. Set against a beautiful landscape defiled by war.The way in which the film is written to escalate everything to the conclusion that a nation works better as a group is quite stunning and demonstrates self-confidence in the narrative, something rarely seen in movies, especially in war-themed manifestos.
