SHORTKUT: THE CON IS ON

Amrita Rao gets a makeover in this comedy woven around the film industry. Director Neeraj Vora, who gave us Phir Hera Pheri, is known for a flurry of one-liners.

Let’s hope they retain their potency as the choosy Akshaye Khanna and master of gags Arshad Warsi try to revive the Hulchul chemistry.

NAADODIGAL

Friends help lovers unite in this film. But that isn’t all about Naadodigal. There is much more. “Subramaniapuram” fame Sasikumar plays the lead. His good friend Samudirakani directs this intensely dramatic film.

Don’t miss the melodious tunes by Sundar C. Babu.

MAASILAMANI

The hit pair of Nakul and Sunaina is back in this romance that begins on a promising note. The hero plays a do-gooder, but seeing him with a sickle in hand all the time, the heroine comes to the conclusion that he is a thug. This prompts the hero to resort to duplicity to win the heart of his lady love.

Will pretending to be someone else help? The film has some peppy dance numbers and melodious tunes.
