Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu - Review

When someone with an eye for talent and with a grip on the written material attempts a film [Makarand Deshpande], you expect the celluloid experience to be an invigorating and enlightening journey. But Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu comes across as

Guzaarish Review - An invigorating tale

Bollywood appears to be inclined towards exploring rare illnesses/disorders/disabilities, with directors casting megastars in characters to raise awareness about the lesser-known ailments. In Ghajini, Aamir Khan had short-term memory loss [Anterograde Amnesia]. In Paa, Amitabh Bachchan played a child afflicted with

Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyun Review: Homosexuality

In an informal chat with me a few months ago, after watching Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyun at a private screening, director Sanjay Sharma enlightened me that his endeavour in making the film is to drive home the fact that there's

A Flat - Review

Call it a coincidence, most Hindi films focus on haunted homes when it comes to horror genre. A Flat is no different. In fact, it brings back memories of various films, including Bhoot [was it shot in the same housing complex?]

Ramaa - The Saviour Review

We often grumble that we don't make films targeted at kids unlike the West where this genre has cut across barriers and reached out to not only kids, but also teens and adults. Ramaa - The Saviour tries to go into

Action Replayy Review - light-hearted rom-com

To recreate the bygone era and tell a parable of the former period is nothing short of a challenge and that's exactly what director Vipul Shah is out to achieve with his latest outing Action Replayy. Travel machines and time travel

Golmaal 3 Review – Fun unlimited

Brand Golmaal is back again. Its equity continues to soar upwards. Naturally, every film of this franchise carries the burden of humongous expectations. Touted as India's first-ever trilogy, Golmaal 3 [G-3], the third installment of Golmaal and Golmaal Returns, promises to

Daayen Ya Baayen - Review

The first thing that catches your attention in Daayen Ya Baayen is the breath-taking locales of Uttarakhand. In fact, you carry the stunning visuals in your heart as you exit from the auditorium. And that, in my opinion, is not good

Nakshatra Review – No chance of survival

Sometimes, interesting ideas go haywire due to amateurish and inept writing. Nakshatra is a glaring example of this statement. The film may've sounded like a perfect thriller on paper, but what unfolds on screen leaves you cold. There are gaping holes

Hisss - Review

A lot of us, who have grown up on masala cinema of 1970s and 1980s, will vividly recall two films made on ichhadhaari naagins - Rajkumar Kohli's Nagin (1976) and Harmesh Malhotra's Nagina (1986). Can we ever forget the revenge of

Dus Tola Review - Lacks glitz and sparkle

As a kid, one of my favourite shows on TV was 'Malgudy Days'. It left an indelible impression on my mind, memories that I cherish to date. When I watch films set in a hamlet with assorted characters that seem straight

Rakta Charitra - Review

Welcome to the law of the jungle. Where there're no rules. Where the life of a human being is not worth a penny. Where goonda raj reins supreme. Where men are butchered and women abducted and raped. Where the police obey

Jhootha Hi Sahi - Review

Every film should be judged purely on the basis of its merits/demerits. Comparisons or drawing parallels with another film, even if it's helmed by the same director, is not right, in my opinion. But if the posters/billboards/newspaper ads/promotional material of Jhootha

Ramayana – Movie Review

When asked to comment on the quality of animation films produced in India, I recall commenting that we are still in infancy stages right now, still grappling with how to make animation movies, still confused about the target audience and how

Knock Out – Movie Review

Several factors compel you to ponder over your decision whether or not to watch Knock Out... * There's talk that Knock Out is a blatant copy of Phone Booth. If you've watched the original, why watch its clone? * You rush
