Sep 13, a day of justice: B town on gangrape verdict

A fast-track court in Delhi Friday sentenced four men to death in the December gangrape case and Bollywood says that it is “a day of justice” as this will give a strong message to all those who look at women with “dirty eyes”.
The four men - Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur - were convicted Tuesday for brutalising the young woman in Delhi with gang rape and grievous assault last December that resulted in her death.
There were six attackers and one of the six accused was found dead in a cell in Delhi's Tihar Jail, while a juvenile involved in the crime was sent by the Juvenile Justice Board Aug 31 to a reform home for three years, the maximum under the juvenile law.
Here is what B-town has to say:

Grand Masti Movie Reviews

Here are the movie reviews for Grand Masti:
Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
A film like GRAND MASTI isn't plot-driven. Not at all. And don't even expect a story here. It's more about double entendres, [sexual] puns and gags and the writers go bananas to woo the spectator. There's nothing left for imagination here, nor does it hinge on puerile or kiddish jokes, since the characters indulge in some really naughty play of words. The humor, let me add, may sound provocative, disgusting and offensive, but come on, what are you expecting from a film like GRAND MASTI? On the whole, GRAND MASTI crosses all limits and boundaries vis-a-vis adult humor. This one's *strictly* for those who relish naughty jokes, outrageous lines and scandalous visuals.

John Day Movie Reviews

Here are the movie reviews for John Day:
Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
JOHN DAY is dark, sinister and edgy. You need to have a strong stomach to absorb the aggression and ghastly sequences that unfurl on screen. Also, the usage of expletives is another characteristic that might make you slightly uncomfortable, although it gels well with Randeep's character and the temper of the motion picture. JOHN DAY is a forceful and intense film and the director gets it right by casting two intense actors, who add a lot of weight to the goings-on. On the whole, JOHN DAY is a razor-sharp thriller with an engaging screenplay, high-voltage drama and sterling performances as its aces. A film like JOHN DAY is a leap in the right direction. It reinforces your faith and trust in qualitative films and deserves to be supported. Strongly recommended!
