Back with a bang

Rani Mukherji, after four long years, is a delight to watch onscreen. Her performance is amazing. The film is emotional, funny and, at the same time, inspiring too. It shows you how to overcome setbacks. It also draws light on our education system and how kids today are demotivated. The climax is winning and you are sure to come back with a warm happy feeling. — Kanica Prasher, student

Good and bad

The plot and the climax of the film is brilliant. Everyone has done a great job with their performances. However, it tends to get repetitive, which makes it a bit boring in parts. Also, the movie is over stretched. — Vineeta Singh, IT professional

Emotional experience 

Rarely does a film educate, entertain and makes one emotional. Hichki does that. This is a well-scripted story and it moves you. — Jaswant Singh, businessperson

Baa Baaa Black Sheep

An action comedy film, Baa Baaa Black Sheep stars Anupam Kher, Manish Paul, Annu Kapoor, Manjari Fadnis and Kay Kay Menon in lead roles. The film is directed by Vishwas Paandya and produced by Anand Swarup Agarwal and Krishna Datla; it is presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment.

Baa Baa Black Sheep is the story of Baba (Manish Paul), who is still trying to find his bearings. Baba’s father, Charudutt Sharma (Anupam Kher), who is a boring cashew nut dealer for everyone, reveals to Baba on his 25th birthday that actually they are a family of hit men since the past 12 generations, and now Baba has to take over! On the other hand, Baba’s love interest Angelina (Manjari) runs a Beach Cafe. Her father Brian Morris (Annu Kapoor) is a retired art teacher, but fuels his greed for money and excitement, by selling fakes of an old Renoir painting that his family has inherited. With Baba and Angelina both, keeping their respective secrets, problems start when Kamya (Natasha Suri), an art gallery owner, wants the original Renoir and blackmails the Home Minister, Utpal Shivalkar (Manish Wadhwa) for it. Drugs, contract killings and blackmail account for ACP Shivraj (Kay Kay Menon) entering the scenario trying to find out the connection between all the chaos.

Go for it!

Just watch it! It’s very entertaining and Vishwas Sir, and his entire team, has done a great job. Manish Paul and Menon, too, have acted well. — Ranjan Kumar, Chandigarh-based professional 

Funny angle 

It’s a super film; Manish and Manjari have put up a good show. The film will have you in splits, throughout! — Nivedita Khanna, student
