Burn After Reading
The Coen Brothers’ latest offering is a fun film. Except for the fact that this is the follow-up to an Oscar winning attempt from the directors, this film has a lot going for it. While the plot ...
Homam
Rather than simply dismissing it as “The Departed“ rip-off let me give you a few reasons why you might want to watch this one. First or all, Homam is a more-or-less faithful remake and a...

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...

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...
