Catch Me If You Can

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen                   

Catch Me If You Can is the story of Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio), who has managed to earn the millions of dollars by stealing the money from the bank accounts, and who is chased by an FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks).  

Frank manages to steal millions of dollars but he continues to change his avatars throughout the film and continuously outruns the law to steal more and more while Hanratty does his best to catch him but his every attempt comes to nothing. We see Frank as an employee of a leading airline company, as a legal expert, and even as a pediatrician.  

Catch Me If You Can is an American biographical crime comedy-drama film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is one of Spielberg’s lesser-known but terrific films. The film is based on the true story of Frank W. Abagnale Jr., a con artist who pulled off the largest hoax in history.  

From the screenplay to the plotline the film is absolutely brilliant. Tom Hanks in a supporting role as the FBI agent makes each moment on the screen a masterpiece. But the star of film is Leonardo. He captures the attention of the audience from the first moment and is outstanding as the con-man Frank Abagnale.

Jalsa

Cast: Vidya Balan, Shefali Shah  

Jalsa is the story of a hit-and-run car accident. The story revolves around Maya (Vidya Balan) a high-flying journalist and Ruksana (Shefali Shah) her cook and who also takes care of the latter’s special-needs son Ayush. However, their lives become entwined following an accident. Maya has made a career for herself uncovering the truth, yet this time, the truth is her biggest enemy. 

On her way back from a tiring day at work, Maya runs over a teenage girl and speeds away. The next morning it turns out that the girl Maya left in a pool of blood is Ruksana’s only daughter. Maya chooses not to reveal the secret to her cook even as the latter continues to be an integral part of the household and a pillar of support for Ayush and Maya’s mom.  

Jalsa is a well-directed and a great thriller to watch. The film not just entertains the audience but also imposes the big question – What would you do if you were in the characters’ situation? Would you succumb to impulse or let reason dictate your action?  The film’s brilliant plot is backed by solid performances by not just the leading ladies; Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah but by the entire cast of the film.  Highly recommended film for this weekend.

 

Barwaan Khiladi

Cast: Danyal Zafar, Shahveer Jafry, Kinza Hashmi, Saba Faisal, Sarmad Khoosat

Barwaan Khiladi is the story of a fictional cricket league, the Lahore Super League, where a young man named Akbar (Danyal Zafar) is selected for the ‘playing eleven’ but as it should happen, Jahangir (Shahveer Jafry) replaces him and Akbar becomes the ‘twelfth man’ or ‘Baarwan Khiladi’.   

Barwaan Khiladi is a well-executed and gripping series with some top-notch performances. Directed by Adnan Sarwar and written by Shahid Dogar, the series is a story of friendship, love, struggle, and heartbreak. 

Each episode of the series flows easily without compromising on the entertainment factor. Adnan Sarwar has extracted some of the best performances specially from the newcomers; Danyal Zafar and Shahveer Jafry. Overall, the series is brilliant with an excellent storyline. Absolutely worth binge-watching over the weekend.
