From Indian PR Wire:  Produced by Ashwini Bhave and directed by Chandrakant Kulkarni, "Kadachit" talks about a successful neurosurgeon, who has witnessed a dreadful incident in her childhood. This past daunts her and she is forced to face it in the form of her father who returns in her life after serving a long term in prison. When the actual truth is revealed, the doctor gets into acute depression. How the entire family deals with the undergoing issue is beautifully depicted in this brilliantly directed film.

IMDB: Hari Prasad Sharma (Sunil Dutt) and his wife Parvati (Rohini Hattangadi) come from their village to visit their doctor son, Dr. Murli (Sanjay Dutt) in Bombay, who is the head of a charitable hospital. They are greeted with fanfare and are given a tour of the hospital. Hari and Parvati decide that since Murli is well settled, he should get married. So they arrange a marriage with Dr. J.C. Asthana's (Boman Irani) daughter, Suman "Chinki" Asthana (Gracy Singh), also a doctor. Hari and Parvati get a shock when Dr. Asthana tells them that their son is a fake, a underworld don, is not qualified to be a doctor, leave alone run a hospital, and he is not going to let his daughter marry such a man. Crestfallen, both Hari and Parvati return to their village. Murli alias Munnabhai swears to avenge his parents' humiliation at the hands of Dr. Asthana, by enrolling in the same institution where Dr. Asthana is the dean. Thereafter begins a comical education of an illiterate underworld don - who is all set to change the institution and all it's rules and regulations to suit his goal, and go where no "bhai" has ever gone before.

From IMDb: 

I'll keep this short and simple. "Night Call Nurses" concerns three nurses who work in the psychiatric ward of a hospital. There are two plots (if you could call them that) in this movie. One involves menacing letters which are being sent to one of the nurses. The other involves a black prisoner who is currently being treated at the hospital after being roughed up in prison. The nurses fear that he could be killed if he goes back to the prison and they formulate a plan to help him escape the hospital.

The real point of "Night Call Nurses" is to show all three of the main characters naked (plus a few other women for good measure). Of course, anyone who knew that this movie was executive produced by Roger Corman would have been able to guess what the real point of the movie was.

Checklist: Acting? Awful. Direction? Awful. Dialogue? Awful. Lighting? Awful. Music? Awful. Ok...you get the picture.
