his is perhaps the first time in Bollywood that a single story is broken into two parts (RAKHT CHARITRA and RAKHT CHARITRA 2) by the same director. And both parts have released in quick succession, which is a laudable effort indeed. Ram Gopal Varma’s PHOONK 2, which was a sequel in true sense, carried the [...]
When one thinks about good patriotic films, films like BORDER, RANG DE BASANTI, THE LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH, SWADES, and LAGAAN instantly come to mind. The reason they clicked was because they connected with the people and aroused the feeling of patriotism. Remember the number of social movements that were triggered off by RANG DE [...]
Just a couple of weeks back we had the President of United States, Barack Obama visit India. His visit was considered to be highly successful by one and all. The speech that he gave in the Indian Parliament received a tremendous response and is still fondly remembered. Even the music of PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA [...]
I don’t know why, but I get this feeling that this movie has been cleverly crafted and executed to herald Rani Mukherjee’s second coming. Producer Aditya Chopra along with director Anurag Singh has made sure this is a Rani fare all the way and she gets most of the screen time. After all, it has [...]
Wanted: A tighter script. Wanted:Better editing. Wanted: A smooth flow of scenes. What you get instead is a ‘leave-your-brains-behind’ fare replete with frenzied plots, typical of Bollywood films of an era gone by, which cared two hoots about script or screenplay.
But Salman Khan fans need not fear, WANTED is all about the Khan. Here he is on [...]
With a title like this, AAGE SE RIGHT, you expected to see typical Mumbai humour based on the oft-repeated direction given to a simple question asked by anyone looking for the right address or location.
However, this is a story of a lost gun and a police officer from a village who reports for duty in [...]
Vishal Bhardwaj has lined himself up for some serious awards this coming year. Also, with KAMINEY, he has given Shahid Kapur his best role till date. I dare say it will be a long time, if ever, before Shahid gets to display himself as a complete actor again. There’s magic in the film, which hooks [...]
LOVE AAJ KAL is JAB WE MET without the intensity of Geet. However, here you have the confused, so-called ‘me stud man’ image of Jai Vardhan Singh (Saif Ali Khan), which takes a beating and comes out fighting to salvage his love, or whatever it is that is left of it. So Jai who hogs [...]
There are no stars in this film; the script is the biggest winner. It’s a rare story, adapted to today’s times and told with immense sensitivity. At the centre is the sublime story of a brother and his love for his sister; of a sister’s responsibility towards her kid brother who harbors a dream of [...]
New York for Oscars. Definitely. Take a bow Kabir Khan. Your work is excellent. Kabir, who says, he was in the US two days before 9/11 and saw first-hand the chaos that followed was stirred enough to work on this film. His second name is Khan! Immediately after the Twin Towers were targeted, the FBI [...]
Watch Movie Chowrasta Movie Online
CHOWRASTA is an interesting flick. It’s like a well-written novel you read on a lazy afternoon, one you do not wish to put down until you reach the last page. The build-up of the assortment of characters is subtle and their story interestingly narrated. Victor Bannerjee, the protagonist, if you may [...]
Pal Pal Dil Ke Ssaat Movie
It has been an extremely bold venture by this Sukra Arts produced movie directed and written by one V V Kumar. PAL PAL DIL KE SSAAT lacks the basic ethics of filmmaking - that of having a script or screenplay. Random shots, random scenes, random dialogues are all what you see. [...]
Dasavtharam Movie Review, Watch Online Movie Dasavtharam Movie
The background score hammers incessantly making you immune to the melody (or the lack of it). The story is as far-fetched as the characters and the ultimate climax is the understanding of how the Tsunami of 2004 came about. At least that is what the makers are driving [...]
8×10 Tasveer Movie Review
Nagesh Kukunoor gives this flick a super Hollywood feel and manages to pull off a slick thriller. But I have a problem with the end, which escalates, or should I say degenerates to a climax of a typical Bollywood masala film. But this is not to deny the finesse with which this [...]
Videsh Movie Review
Deepa Mehta’s VIDESH (HEAVEN ON EARTH titled internationally) is a mixed bag of spousal abuse, submissive daughter-in-law, violent husband, cruel in-laws, packaged with mythological elements. Over the years, a handful of filmmakers have depicted the plight of victims of marital abuse, the disturbing scenario through powerfully-told characters in Hindi films. And Deepa’s VIDESH [...]
