Movie Review: JUMBO by FENIL SETA
One thing to keep in mind before venturing for Jumbo-it’s not an Indian film and therefore should not be compared with Hanuman, Bal Ganesh, Roadside Romeo and other animated films churned out in India. Jumbo is actually a dubbed version of 2006’s highest grossing Thai film Khan Kluay. However, the film’s plot and execution is […]

by Aks
(Not a review, jst few point)
Ghajini is a plain revenge drama with Memento Angle. Its no more than regular B grade cinema that we have seen. How many times we have seen a main lead trying take revenge for his family/girl freind/wife’s murder
Ghajini is scene to scene copy of Tamil Blockbuster ‘Ghajini’ staring Surya […]
Ghajini: An Epical Tale Of Vengance( Review By Avirup)
Sometimes, catching in on the paid preview is worth it
Considering all the pre release hype and the mounting waves of expectations surrounding this film, I went in determined with the mindset of being impressed only if Ghajini presented me something equlivalent to a masterpiece, and nothing less.
And when I came out, I was […]
Ghajini, a blend of sambhar & rubdi with chunks of boogers.

Ever since I promised a few friend that I will recite a few lines from Haribhari Chatpati’s last but incomplete poem, they have been pestering me with emails on a daily basis. So here goes nothing. The few lines that I am about to recite is not as popular as the same poet’s “Rail […]
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi : Surinder’s Tale
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi tracks the life of Surinder Sahani, the simpleton working for Punjab Power who is content with the smallest of desires and the brightest of smiles. Surinder Sahani is what I would define as a “loser” in the true sense of the word. He is not a superhero, neither a […]

On 26/11 there was an attack on Bombay, but on Dec 12, 2008 there was an attack on all mankind. The terrorist who has destroyed the peace of all Desi Men (especially married ones) is none other than Surinder Sahni (Suri). Yes a character from Adi Chopra’s latest movie “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ)”. […]
Movie Review: RAB NE BANA DI JODI by FENIL SETA
Yash Raj Films are usually larger than life, especially the ones directed by Adi or Yash Chopra. The protagonists stay in palatial houses or in homes which are surrounded by lush fields, possess expensive sedans, break into songs shot in Swiss locales and wear priceless costumes. However, Rab Ne Bana Di […]

What is that one thing that transforms a ordinary person into an extraordinary lover?
What is that one feeling that transcends all barriers to create new worlds?
What is that one realisation that shatters dreams only to rekindle it in the light of a thousand candles?
It is none other than love’s own divine magic, executed in the […]
RNBDJ, a poem confessing love

No event in recent memory has been so awaited as the release of RNBDJ. For months people have marked their calendar, rescheduled weddings & appointments so that the Dec 12 week-end is left free for RNBDJ. When the horrible 26/11 attack happened, one concern, along with the genuine heartfelt concern for all Bombayites, […]
Movie Review: MAHARATHI by FENIL SETA
Time and again it has been proved that small films sometimes provide much more satisfaction that the biggies. ‘A Wednesday!’ is a classic example! And here comes another such small film, Maharathi! Based on a successful Gujarati play, the film is an interesting thriller with some good doses of laughter, excitement […]

When one delivers a paisa-vasool entertainer like Khosla Ka Ghosla, you do have a lot of expectations when his second film is all set to release. Unfortunately, ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye’ fails to live upto its expectations. Director Dibakar Banerjee could have made this film as interesting and entertaining as Bunty Aur […]
Sorry Bhai!The new face of infidelity- A Review!
Onir has always beeen a film maker who has fascinated me because of his choice of unexplored territories in human psychology and relationships. He might not have the recognition of Sanjay Leela Bhansali or the success of Karan Johar, not even the controversies like Anurag Kashyap, but he is one film maker who has constantly […]

Its very difficult to analyse Oye Lucky Lucky Oye from a single perspective because it doesn’t offer any.That is perhaps its biggest strength, and also its weakest link.The story revolves around Lucky, who has a teenage full of dreams but a family grounded to reality.His ambitions soar high above the suburban galis and when they […]

I had no expectations from this film since the film looked like a funny product from its promos itself. Nevertheless, I saw this flick just to have a good laugh! Also, the controversy surrounding the film made me curious to see it. And as expected, Deshdrohi is below the mark. The film […]

As a big fan of Subhash Ghai, I remember almost 20 years back, buying ticket for the first show of “Ram Lakhan” at double the price and then sitting in a packed houseful show with people whistling, dancing and clapping on every scene and song. And now comes a day when I easily get a […]

You have seen it several times before on the screen that a person is told that he will be dying in few days and then he decides to live his life and fulfill all his hidden dreams with all he has got. It was there in Akira Kurosawa’s “Ikiru”, Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s “Anand”, “Mili” and some […]
