Green Zone R 115 minutes SCOPE
Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) re-team for their latest electrifying thriller in Green Zone, a film set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences. During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission. Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.

Teen Patti NR 140 minutes SCOPE
Set in India and England, starring two acting legends of our times czar of the Indian film industry, Amitabh Bachchan and Academy Award Winner Sir Ben Kingsley Teen Patti is an emotionally riveting and razor sharp thriller about greed, deception and giant feats of imagination. Sir Ben Kingsley, essays Perci Trachtenberg, regarded as the world’s greatest living mathematician. Perci meets Venkat, played by Amitabh Bachchan, a reclusive math genius from India, at a casino in London. Venkat tells Perci about an equation that could not only change the dialogue on mathematics forever but one that has imprinted guilt for many painful reasons on Venkat’s life. As it turns out, the reclusive genius Venkat has cracked a theory that could redefine the principles of probability and randomness. One of Venkat’s fellow professors, Shantanu - essayed by South Indian super star R Madhavan encourages him to test the theory out in the real world. Madhavan believes Venkat’s equation could crack the card game, Teen Patti, which could rake in all the moolah. Along with a few students, each with a complex fate, they explore the addas (underground gambling dens) of Bombay. A series of edge-of-your-seat escapades keep the film moving faster than a bullet. But what starts out as an experiment between a charismatic young professor and an eccentric older one quickly descends into a game neither can control. As their lives sink into maddening chaos, the greed and desperation that fuelled them can no longer save them. Perci understands that Venkat’s theory in essence questions the idea of what is random - and of what is fated. A deeply moving redemption, initiated by Perci, closes this stupendously modern film that is as much about the private equations of honor and chance, and about knowledge that can change the world. But what if the price of this knowledge is life itself?
