WHEN its original version was released in 1974, starring the little-known Toby Halicki, it became a sleeper hit of the year. But the actor was killed in an accident while shooting a sequel to the film. Twentysix years later when it was re-made, starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie, the action thriller became a cult film. Gone In Sixty Seconds on Monday at 9 p.m. on Star Movies revolves around a master car thief Nicolas Cage, who wants to retire after a successful career. But his plans are interrupted when his younger brother gets in to trouble with a dangerous crime boss. To save his brother, he agrees to a profitable but risky scheme to steal 50 luxury cars in one night, with the help of several others, including Angelina Jolie. A rival group is trying to pull the same stunt at the same time. But cops are determined to thwart both the robberies. The high point of the movie is the 40-minute chase scene in which 90 cars were actually destroyed. Restricting rituals Ganga Kii Dheej
on SaharaOne from Monday to Thursday at 10 p.m. deals with the ordeals
of young unmarried girls in a village called Kaliganj in rural West
Bengal. It highlights the growing-up of the girls within the
restrictions of the various rituals and customs laid down by the
self-proclaimed lords of the land. Kaliganj is ruled and is under the
supreme power of one such landlord Dadabhai (Kabir Bedi), who is like
god to the villagers as most of them work under his command. — NF
