The great debate between science and superstition continues, but RGV’s new film PHOONK tilts in favour of superstition. Surprising, isn’t it?
The makers of the film had organized a contest. You’d be given a handsome reward if you’ve the courage to watch PHOONK all alone in […]

The serial bombing of suburban trains in Mumbai in 2006 is a nightmarish incident the nation would never forget. And Mumbaikars still get gooseflesh recalling the ghastly incident. MUMBAI MERI JAAN recreates the incident on celluloid, but is not about terrorism per se. It talks about […]

Sanjay Chhel has penned a number of comic fares. Obviously, when Chhel takes charge and decides to helm a project himself, you expect his film to be one wacky ride. Indeed, MAAN GAYE MUGHALL-E-AZAM is wild in parts, thoroughly enjoyable at times, but you don’t exclaim […]

Yash Chopra camp is moving on a tough road since last few months and they hope to move on to the highway again with Bachna Ae Haseeno. But the journey may not be that easy as the movie is intense, mature and also has repetitions at a very slow pace. It lacks the youthfulness of […]

As you may have guessed the movie is inspired from Jim Carrey’s “Bruce Almighty”. But keeping that fact aside, the movie is a simple, sober and clean flick which also has a sweet message to give. In other words its a well adapted movie which is not great, but still good for a family evening. […]

Don’t say Ranbir didn’t warn you 
The surprising thing about Siddharth Anand’s Bachna Ae Haseeno [Images] is how neatly understated the humour is.
Ranbir Kapoor [Images] kicks a pebble, annoyed, only to have to apologise a second later to a girl blessedly off-screen. Much later, when his friend suggests he take his girlfriend along when he’s moving […]

When it comes to escapist cinema, a gifted writer can make his imagination run really wild. Think of a crazy story, come up with outrageous and zany situations, rope in actors who’d look believable in those parts… hey presto, a crazy potboiler is ready to be served.
Rumy Jafry, who has penned some crazy comedies in […]

BACHNA AE HASEENO is special. Ranbir Kapoor is cast opposite teen deviyaan — Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, Minissha Lamba. It’s produced by a premier production house, the credits read ‘Story by Aditya Chopra’ and most importantly, it’s helmed by Siddharth Raj Anand, who merged form and content so beautifully in SALAAM | NAMASTEY […]

After a long time here’s a film that promises clean comic moments 
There are some films which have stars we’ll perhaps never see together again. Started years back (before the Ash-Abhi wedding), God Tussi Great Ho can be treasured forever as one such film. But that is not the only thing that makes this movie special. […]

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Om Puri, Neha Dhupia, Ranvir Shorey
Director: Anees Bazmee
Most films can be divided into two broad categories - those that aim to entertain an audience, and those that have been produced with the sole purpose of making money. As far as I’m concerned, Singh Is Kinng is not so much a […]

Take a new seat, Mr Bachchan. The throne has found a successor.
Very rarely, perhaps once in a couple of fortunate generations, comes an actor with such tremendous screen presence that it drips like sweat from his body. Others — actors, filmmakers, financiers — all struggle to stand closer to the star in question, to feel […]

Rating 2.5/5
There has been a lot riding on this flick and why not when you have one of the hottest pairs Akshay and Katrina who return yet again after ‘Namastey London’. All the more hype when you have Anees Bazmee heading the ship. Bazmee’s track record at the […]

Rating: 1.5/5
Under normal circumstances movie titles come consequently from the film theme. But in this rare case the movie theme is an outcome of the movie title. At least that’s what Akshay Kumar confessed recently claiming that he came across the words ‘Singh is King’ as a tagline behind a truck. So inspired was he […]

Before the movie started one could feel the excitement in the hall with all the whistles, shouting and claps. But all went calm slowly and no one was excited enough as the last credits were rolling. There were mammoth expectations from Akshay Kumar in the role of a Sikh and coming up with a solid […]

UGLY AUR PAGLI is a bizarre and uncanny title. But catchy and attracts instant attention at the same time. It’s for this reason that you expect UGLY AUR PAGLI to be one wacky ride, what with the film promising 99 slaps and 1 kiss.
Besides, post […]
