Barah Aana Movie Review
Naseeruddin Shah gives a lesson in acting in BARAH AANA, which is worth a million bucks. That he is a brilliant actor is a given. His performances in the past and the more recent ones have had the cynics, critics and his fans watching in rapt attention when he comes on screen. [...]
Director: Nandita Das
Cast: Shahana Goswami, Nowaz, Sanjay Suri, Tisca Chopra, Naseeruddin Shah, Raghuvir Yadav, Deepti Naval, Paresh Rawal
Nandita Das arrests your attention right from the opening scene of her directorial debut that shows a disturbing mass burial. As a truck discards more dead bodies, the graveyard gives an [...]
Jai Veeru Movie
This has to be the ‘Most Atrocious’ movie of the year so far. I mean, it’s nice to have those ‘leave your brains behind films’ where sometimes the maker does entertain you through his product, but this here is plain foolish. I get a feeling that someone wanted to rewrite his account books [...]
Gulaal Movie
Anurag Kashyap’s GULAAL restricts itself, when it could have cut across the audience. It begins with a bang, with Kay Kay Menon as Dukey Bana giving off an explosive speech to his band of followers. He wants a separate state to be ruled by the Rajputs, but what follows next is not what was [...]
Dhoondte Reh Jaoge Movie
Call it creative bankruptcy or just another take on creativity. Whichever way you look at it, you cannot help but come out smiling from the theatres. Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge is one such exercise, which I dare say, is not futile. At least it conforms to the basic requirement of cinema, that to [...]
Watch Online 13B Movie
There’s a killer in the house in the dead of night. He is banging the television set in the living room and not one of the people sleeping in is disturbed. And this is the 13th floor of a high-rise, not some palatial bungalow.
There is no connection with the family living in [...]
Watch Online Street Fighter Movie
Story
Based on the 1987 videogame sensation and later made into an anemic 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme action flick, this latest version pits the forces of evil vs. good in the slums of modern day Bangkok but fails to capture any of the excitement that made Street Fighter a legend among gamers. [...]
Online Crossing Over Movie
Story
Clearly influenced by the 2005 Oscar-winning Crash, writer/director Wayne Kramer’s multi-character, segmented story focuses on the hot button issue of immigration — illegal and otherwise — told from several vantage points. A teenager (Summer Bishil) is targeted as a potential terrorist because of an essay she wrote; a young mother (Alice Braga) [...]
Watch Online Jonas Brothers
Story
Of course, the film is even better if you’re female between the ages of 9 through 15 — and have a fully functional set of lungs to scream your heart out. My goodness, what a stir these boys create among the ‘tween set, but it makes sense. Girls have been screaming for [...]
Watch Online Siddharth Movie
Most directors/actors have that innate desire to experiment with cinema. But the economics of the industry is such that it does not afford anyone this largesse. Hence, commercial Hindi cinema, as it is come to be known, thrives, with themes and plots and twist and turns that sometimes makes even the actors [...]
