Rock On!!
When I walked in to watch this film, I half expected to watch a story about the trials and tribulations of a rock band and their ultimate triumph. You will be glad to know that this film isn’t a...
Singh is Kinng
There have been quite a few so called “comedies” which have bombed at the box-office this year which made me think that moviegoers have finally gotten tired of those not-so-funny blockbust...
Phoonk
It’s superstition…till it happens to you! I had found that line quite catchy and also a few of Ramu’s recent blog posts/interviews on the subject made me quite eager to check out his...
Bachna Ae Haseeno
As Ranbir Kapoor kick-starts the proceedings with his dad’s energetic title song you can’t help but acknowledge again (if you have seen Saawariya) that this guy is absolute star material. ...
God Tussi Great Ho
Salman Khan has this uncanny ability to be a part of B-grade projects which end up lying in the cans for years (needless to mention producer Afzal Khan is one up on him in this issue). If there is one...
Contract
Contract is like an unimpressive debut film coming from a Ram Gopal Varma wannabe. Sadly, the fact is that Ramu himself made it but the good news is that he’s made far worse films before. Still,...
Love Story 2050
Ladies and Gentlemen…..take note - Harry Baweja has set a new benchmark for cinematic realism. Just a couple of instances if you find it hard to believe me. There’s a scene where the time ...
Jaane Tu…ya jaane na
It’s a safe bet to define something as a “genre” when you’ve seen at least 3 films dealing with the same theme. Going by that Jaane Tu…ya jaane na very suitably falls int...
Sarkar Raj
“How much really can I go wrong with Sarkar Raj???” asked Ram Gopal Varma recently. Despite the statement’s overconfident tone, you would have agreed completely with it (like me) pro...
Sarkar
In anticipation of the release of Sarkar Raj this weekend, I watched Sarkar once again. Director Ram Gopal Varma’s tribute to The Godfather isn’t his first film inspired from that source. ...
Jannat - In Search of Heaven
A day before its release, Mahesh Bhatt said in an interview that “Jannat will be Emraan’s Naam”. During his heyday, Mahesh Bhatt made films like Naam and Gumraah which dealt with the...
Dus Kahaniyaan
“Six Visionary Directors. Ten Spectacular Stories. One Cinematic Journey.” claims the poster of this film. I believe they’ve used the wrong words. So here is my correction. Six ordin...
Tashan
One of the most awaited films of this year - Tashan is being thrashed all over the place by most critics and audiences. On the face of it, it is yet another of those “guilty pleasure” flic...
U Me Aur Hum
It’s just a few months back that Aamir Khan debuted as a director, naturally Ajay Devgan’s plunge into the director’s seat will undoubtedly have to bear the burden of high expectatio...
Race
Director duo Abbas-Mustan (Baazigar, Khiladi) are famous for their thrillers. With their latest (and biggest) film, they have created a new genre. And I’d like to call this “twister”...
