Picks and Piques/Snippet Film Reviews 24 th Jan 2014/Johnson Thomas Mandela  Jai Ho(Hindi) :Rating: *  * ½   The best example of ‘Crony’ capitalism in Bollywood. All those numerous friends who stayed true to ‘Bhai’ through thick and thin get a new lease of life. And the Bhai’s brand has also taken a step closer towards the ‘haloed’ turf.

And there’s no point belittling a film that stays true to it’s avowed agenda-Apna Kaam banta Bhaad mein jaye Janta!!   Mandela: Long walk to Freedom: Rating: *  *  * ½ Nelson Mandela's 1995 autobiographical account provides the basis for this compelling, though abbreviated , biopic adaptation about his political life, Worthy Pleasure for sure!
