Aakrosh – Movie Review

Shameful as it may sound, honour killings still exist in many parts of the country. The misconception is honour killings are all about the murder of a female family member by one or more family members, since the perpetrators /

Crook Review - A half-hearted effort

Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt have often admitted that newspaper headlines citing a burning issue have sown the seeds of a film in their minds. And Crook: It's Good To Be Bad, directed by the talented Mohit Suri, deals with one such

Do Dooni Chaar Review: A film with soul

The highpoint of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's movies was the simplicity with which he narrated the story of ordinary people. Soaked in humour with an undercurrent of emotions, the films made by Hrishi-da are fresh to this date, inspiring the present-day film-makers as

Benny And Babloo - Review

Madhur Bhandarkar's body of work boasts of two prominent films – Chandni Bar and Page 3. Chandni Bar was the first film that made the viewer peep into the lives of bar girls, while Page 3 exposed the shallow lives of

The Robot - Review

Two things...One, it's difficult to conceptualize and execute a film like The Robot.Two, when Rajinikanth's name comes in the credits, one cannot hear anything for the next two minutes. His name is greeted with a thunderous applause, whistles, yells and cheers.

Khichdi - The Movie: Review

I must admit, I am no couch potato. I find it difficult to stay glued to television for hours, surfing channels randomly. Perhaps, that's one of the reasons why I never watched an episode of this hugely popular TV show called

Anjaana Anjaani - Review

Till a few years ago, if a director approached a producer with a script that had just two characters from Scene A to Z, the producer would scoff at him and show him the door. After all, devoting an entire film

For Real - Review

For Real is told from the eyes of a little girl (Zoya Hassan), who has some definite haunting images of her past. An intrinsically scared kid who goes into a shell every time she comes in touch with her mother (Sarita)

Life Express - Review

I've often been asked, what makes a film different from another bearing a similar storyline? My reply is, the execution of the subject makes all the difference. Recall Doosri Dulhan. Now recall Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. The issue - surrogate motherhood

Dabangg - Review

The fight between good and bad has been the fodder of many a Hindi film of 1970s and 1980s. In fact, it wouldn't be erroneous to state that these films dominated the cinema of yore and a lot of us, who

The Film Emotional Atyachar - Review

First things first! The Film Emotional Atyachar bears no resemblance to a reality show with the same name (Emotional Atyachar). Nor is The Film Emotional Atyachar an exposé on relationships. Now let's proceed...The Film Emotional Atyachar is a road movie, plus

Mallika Review: Obsolete fare

Certain stories that the Ramsay Brothers attempted a few decades ago are being rehashed and packaged in new avatars to this date. The revenge of the restless soul, the reincarnation bit, the spate of murders, the decomposed dead body coming to

We Are Family - Review

Okay, We Are Family is the official adaptation of Chris Columbus' Stepmom (1998) and lots of us have already watched this Julia Roberts - Susan Sarandon starrer. Even otherwise, the story of a woman, diagnosed with a terminal illness, entrusting her

Madholal…Keep Walking - Review

The ‘chawl’ culture of Mumbai has never been too far from Hindi cinema. From Basu Chatterjee’s Piya Ka Ghar to Sanjay Jha’s Pran Jaye Par Chawl Na Jaye to Mahesh Manjrekar’s City Of Gold and Chandan Arora’s Striker, many gripping tales

Hello Darling - Review

Comedy is serious business and I genuinely believe that making people laugh is an arduous task. The best of film-makers, with years/decades of experience behind them, have tried attempting laughathons time and again. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. Hello Darling
