Tom Holland's 1988 film "Child's Play" was initially meant to be a satire of the commercial madness that swept the world when Cabbage Patch Kids proliferated through the marketplace a few years before. What if, "Child's Play" asked, the soul of a vicious serial killer possessed your ultra-hot Christmas toy? The result was a genuinely creepy supernatural thriller about a young boy named Andy (Alex Vincent) his single mom (Catherine Hicks) and the mysterious Good Guy doll who likely contains the personality of Charles Lee "Chucky" Ray (Brad Dourif), known to the police as the Lakeshore Strangler.
Like many of the slasher films of the 1980s, "Child's Play" was extensively sequelized. The mythos of Chucky the killer doll expanded, leading to strange byzantine rules of voodoo magic (Chucky uses a magical amulet and magic spells to shunt his soul into a doll body), as well as inter-doll mating, and a lot of queerness.

Tell us about your project. What language will it be in?
Highway is a story of a journey- a journey of several characters from different walks of life from one metro city to another. Like every real journey, it changes something within. People start coming out of their shells to experience freedom. It is an attempt to look at ourselves in today’s time. It’s not a straightforward narrative and we are trying to question our own way of looking at things. The different colourful characters one will see in the film will try to find unknown paths, which they have not travelled. One will hear different dialects of Marathi language with a little bit of Hindi, English, Gujarati, Sindhi, Telugu, Punjabi and Tamil.

Opened: June 6 U.S., India, U.K. (Adlabs Films)
OAKLAND, California -- Sixty-five-year-old Amitabh Bachchan, India's vibrant and virile living legend, is riveting in nearly every film he does. But even a true fan's ardor is tested by the tedious political thriller, "Sarkar Raj".
The film is inspired by the real-life, intricate machinations of power in the country's richest state, Maharashtra, where the fortunes of many a billionaire have flourished and faltered under the eyes of religious, turbaned old men like Rao-saab (Dilip Prabhavalkar). Rao holds the rights to a huge plot of land where a multinational corporation wants to build India's largest power plant; some 40,000 villagers will have to be displaced, but the project guarantees glory to whoever is attached to it.
The power company's clever CEO, Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai), soon learns that no progress can be made until the egos and bank accounts of "Sarkar" (leader) Subhash Nagre (Bachchan) and Nagre's son and successor, Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan, the actor's son and Rai's real-life husband), are sated. Sarkar himself, who holds chief ministers and other VIPs in the palm of his hand, has to defer to Rao-saab.
Add to this the fact that social activists and bitter ex-employees are set on destroying the project -- and Sarkar himself -- and one can see the film's potential as an aware, contemporary thriller. This film is a sequel to the 2005 drama "Sarkar".
Iconoclastic director-writer Ram Gopal Varma is single-handedly credited with introducing a coarse, profane realism to Bollywood films ("Satya", 1998, "Company", 2002) that was refreshing for its time. But Varma seems to have fallen into a rut, relying here on excessive close-ups, blaring background music and long, pretentious speeches instead of character development.
Viewers should seek out Mani Ratnam's 2007 film "Guru" instead, to appreciate the on-screen chemistry of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai and to get a far more interesting take on the ways power is brokered in India.

Director: Ram Gopal Varma.
Screenwriters: Ram Gopal Varma, Prashant Pandey.
