Although she is treated like one of the lads, she tries her best to stay far away from the seedy world they have entered. Eventually another one of the boys, Arjun (Aftab Shivdasani), who is close to Sanjana (Bipasha), tries his best to get the group back on the straight and narrow, however they have become so deeply involved in the lifestyle that the task becomes mission impossible.

You need money to be rich but you need love to be happy. This in nutshell is the conflict of Tumsa Nahin Dekha.

But unfortunately for Daksh and Jia, the timing of this romantic encounter is odd. Daksh is scheduled to marry a properly pedigreed society girl Annahita Madhwani (Pooja Bharti) whom he detests. But if Daksh doesn't marry Anhaita the heiress, he will not inherit the million-dollar trust.

So Daksh turns to his loyal butler, John Uncle (Anupam Kher) for help. John who wishes to see Daksh prevail, stage-manages a situation in which the true lovers will come together and get the loot.

Kunal Darr, blue film maker or an innocent man stuck in a bizarre situation?

Everything seemed very normal in Kunal’s (Kunal Khemu) routine life. There was even the pleasant surprise in the form of Renuka (Smily Suri) – a young orphan girl whom fate had brought to Kunal’s door step. Soon the two were in love and even got married but from here on life would never be the same again.

The most sacred and intimate moment of a couple – their first night together is captured on a tape. Kunal and Renuka are arrested. He is blamed for making blue films. Renuka is unable to deal with the humiliation and commits suicide.

Armed with only a picture of a famous Indian porn star – Annie (Deepal Shaw), Kunal gets ready to find and fight a faceless foe.

But what Kunal does not know is that in this “Kalyug” one man’s tragedy is another man’s entertainment. This business revolves on the simple rules of demand and supply. As long as there is a need for blue films, someone will fulfill that need. Now Kunal has to fast learn the ways of this world if he wants to expose the nexus which runs to highest strata of society in Switzerland.

JAWANI DIWANI (2006)

Starring: Emraan Hashmi, Celina Jaitley, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Mahesh Manjrekar etc.
Director: Manish Sharma
Music: Sajid-Wajid

Mann Kapoor (Emraan Hashmi), a wannable singer, is a hard-core opportunist. The term hard core suggests the nature of a man to put his head before heart while grabbing an opportunity. Mann therefore does not hesitate in “choosing” Radha (Hrishitaa Bhatt) as his love interest for a purely selfish cause. The secret lies in Radha being the daughter of Umesh Jumani (Tiku Talsania), a very successful music company owner. Umesh Jumani who is reminded of his own days of struggle by Radha, dares not to refuse the proposal.

An agreement for Mann's music album is signed and marriage with the daughter of the business tycoon is planned. This is a big enough reason to justify the demand by Mann's friends for a treat in Goa.

Along with these three friends it's trouble that lands up in Goa. Little does Mann visualize that his involvement with the Goa beauty, Roma (Celina Jaitley), intended to be a one-night stand would land him in trouble meant for a whole life span. The very day Mann is caught red handed sharing the bed with Roma; he is forced into wedlock with her. The person responsible for this being the underworld don, Chappu Bhai (Mahesh Manjrekar), a silent lover of Roma. Roma's words which Chappu clearly remembers justifies his act “The only person to touch me would be the one in whom I would see a partner for life.”

Roma, who's had a soft corner for Mann, ever since she had seen him, stand true to these words. She cherishes the company of her husband and respects the bondage of the wedlock, even if it had been a forced one. However what the marriage reflects for Mann is his ruined career and shattered dreams. Only a miracle could get him out of this mess, is what he believes. Roma proves to be one. Despite herself she frees from a relation, that had never been accepted by him. Divorced Mann, released from a cage flies down to Mumbai where Radha and more important Stardom awaits him.

Convincing Radha, who is genuinely in love with him, and who actually desires to be convinced, is not really difficult. Jumani who seems to be living for and because of his daughter cannot afford a different stand. Marriage is re-arranged, date re-planned.

Roma re-enters the life of Mann, though now only in professional terms. She is the chosen model and a co-star of Mann by Umesh Jumani, for his video. Passing days of the shoot make Mann realize his growing concern and possessiveness towards Roma. He realizes that it is for the first time that he is truly in love and he is surprised to realize that he could give up his career for love.

But, Roma, a woman who prioritizes heart over head, wouldn't let him do that. Nor would she allow the dreams of some other woman be hurt due to her. She walks out of Mann's life for the second time.

Marriage between Mann and Radha, scheduled after two months is pre-poned to an hour's time by a shocked Radha who learns about his fiancés with Roma. What a helpless Mann can do about this decision of hers is simply nod in an O.K.

Mann who has by now surrendered himself to his fate, is over awed as his destiny takes a third twist. The film is a beautiful blend of deep emotion's and dramatic twists.

Who does Mann choose to be his life- partner?
Does he put his love or career on the line?
Will he be able to make the right decision?
Whose heart will he end up breaking?

If Ram Gopal Verma has his FACTORY to create off beat films set in commercial modes, then VISHESH FILMS too have created their own genre of films. A genre that encapsulates the right elements of shock value, sex, thrills and drama that results in a potboiler 'masala' fare! What also stands out in most of their flicks is a distinct storyline that keeps the viewer guessing at every step. 'Gangster' is one such film from their stable that releases few weeks down the line. Directed by Anurag Basu who has a super hit 'Murder' to his credit, 'Gangster' may be taking ample inspiration from the real life story of a gangster and his girlfriend but the treatment promises to be of the kind that makes for a good commercial outing. And why not when the nation's upcoming heartthrob Emraan Hashmi starring in the film, though the title role is played by the hottest discovery of 2005 - Shiney Ahuja. Kangna Raut, a stunning theatre actor, makes her Bollywood debut as a sole heroine in the film.

Lots of questions! Lots of curiosity! Lots of suspense'n'drama! That's GANGSTER for you.

The love story of Daya [Shiney Ahuja] and Simran [Kangana Ranaut] was a little weird, or rather unpredictable.

They loved each other despite the fact that Daya was a criminal - A GANGSTER

The only thing that tied them together - their DREAMS!!!

Daya was a criminal, a man at large who was hunted around by the police all over the globe. Though there was not much in his life to cheer about, there was only one person who brought him happiness - his ladylove Simran. She too reciprocated his love but wanted only one thing in return - a simple life with kids, home and lots of love from the man of her dreams.

With a kind of life Daya lived, would he be able to give Simran whatever she desired?

Will Akash turn out to be the man who would be able to give Simran whatever she desired?

Akash and Simran start getting closer to each other fully realizing that they are walking a road of thorns. While Akash learns the lessons of life the hard way, Simran is in a dilemma regarding the man she wants to spend her life with!

Will Daya return back to give Simran whatever she desired? Or will police nail him down to permanently separate him from his lady love?

Does Simran go back to him if he pulls her in his arms?

Whom does she BETRAY?

Daya, a man who has selflessly loved her all these years? Or Akash who has shown her the way to live her dreams?
