Synopsis:
Touted as the ‘mother of all multi-starrers’, Twenty Twenty is produced by Dileep under the banner of Grand Productions for AMMA, the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists. The film is directed by Joshi, who has delivered some of the biggest hits in Malayalam Cinema. And scripting the venture is the Udayakrishna - Sibi K. Thomas duo, who had done the script for films like Runway, CID Moosa, Kochirajaavu, Lion, Thuruppugulaan etc.
The film has been in the news for a long time, due to obvious reasons. There are 67 prominent stars plus lots of other supporting actors in the cast. Isn’t that reason enough for the film to be in the news? Though there have been speculations and rumours spreading all around about the plot and the story-line, the makers have chosen to keep mum about the same. All that has been divulged so far are details about the characters donned by lead players.
If Mammootty plays an advocate named Ramesh Nambiar, Mohanlal becomes Pratap Varma, a millionaire businessman dealing in spices. Suresh Gopi dons his favourite Khakhi and becomes Antony Punnakaadan IPS and Dileep will play Mohanlal’s younger brother, Karthik Varma, a medical student. Jayaram, who is at present basking in the success of ‘Veruthe Oru Bharya’, plays the key role of a doctor.
Among the actresses, Bhavana pairs with Dileep and plays a medical student named Priya while Gopika, who had bid adieu to films after her marriage, pairs up with Mammootty. Kavya Madhavan too does a key role, while Nayantara, the hot ‘n happening actress of South Indian cinema, appears as a bar-dancer in a song sequence, which has been shot at a really big budget.
The young brigade of Malayalam Cinema - Prithviraj, Indrajith, Jayasurya, Manikuttan etc too appear in the movie, with lots of other actors doing important roles. With so much going for it, Twenty Twenty, which we are told is an investigative flick, becomes a film to be eagerly waited for. The film will have a mega-release, on October 30th, in as many as 100 theatres across Kerala

Akbar decides to get hold of Malavika and in this process he sets out with his girl friend Devayani (Samvrutha) and others.

Sypnosis:
The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Each chapter of Jamal’s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show’s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

Sypnosis:So here’s what: we love cricket. India loves the game. Cricket is the reason for our very existence. Cricketers are our Gods-our triumphant boys in blue. Our religion?-cricket! Our love?- cricket!!! Our obsession?-CRICKET!!!
Well that’s clear enough.
The craziest, most amazing love story! And the one thing it’s not about is hearts, flowers and cupid with his bow-n-arrow! Infact, tweak it a little, take away the bow-n-arrow and put a bat in Cupid’s plump little arms and what you’ve got Meerabai Not Out!
Meera Achrekar, a mathematics teacher at Vishwaprem Vidyalaya, has been a happy single for quite a while now. The great love of her life has been, and will always remain, cricket and Anil Kumble. The meticulous number cruncher is, despite not being the classic eye-candy-teenage-fantasy-fodder, a huge hit in class. And that’s because Meera, unlike most teachers of her school, is more fanatical about her religion, cricket than even the school cricket captain!
Living with her family in their small home in a Mumbai chawl, Meera was initiated into her temple of Wankhede Stadium by her brother, Manoj. Manoj Anant Achrekar played cricket at the Ranji Trophy level. Sadly, middle class making-ends-meet economics got the better of the impressive Maharashtrian leggie, and passion had to make way for responsibility. Mahesh is today a cricket cynic. While Meera bunks classes and fights for season tickets to every cricket match that is played at Wankhede Stadium, Mahesh even steers clear off cricket scores!
While the folk at Bhaktiyog Society have cast aspersions on her craze towards the game, the bigger problem that worries the Achrekar family is Meera’s still-single status. Love suddenly blossoms with heart-specialist, Dr Arjun Sachdeva and Meera realizes that perhaps there is more to life than praying for Team India and Anil Kumble! However, in between this fabulous exchange of text messages, Valentine’s Day outings and walks along Chowpatty, she confesses to Arjun that she is already married to cricket!
So, while the maiden’s heart beats for Anil Kumble and India’s fortunes, the more important question is: will Meera be able to commit to her non-striker beau and keep her prospective father-in-law at bay?
