Movies: Rock On Review

Who hasn't had a row with a friend? Time to make that call and hug the friend you didn’t patch-up with ages ago. That's the warmth you feel while watching Rock On!! In the end, you connect, and that's what counts!

Movies: Mumbai Meri Jaan - Review

Meetu finds parallels between her own love for Mumbai and the characters in Mumbai Meri Jaan. Whereever in the world she has lived for the last 12 years, she has always called herself a Mumbaikar. The characters in the movie don't have such a romanticized view. Each of them goes through a phase of cynicism, but ultimately accepts their situation as is and joins the “spirit” of the city. However, she thinks that the movie itself is too slow to rate higher than "wait for video release"

Movies: Phoonk review

RGV dons new avatar. He’s now moved on to comedies. Ok, not 100% comedies because there are 2 strong serious scenes which put a plug on the most natural sounding laughter track playing in the audience

Movies: God Tussi Great ho Review

The Salman Khan style of 'acting' doesn't allow us to take the otherwise interesting concept, of a human being taking over as God for a few days, too seriously.

Movies: Bachna Ae Haseeno

It's a reasonably mature look at relationships and gives women actual, believable roles to play. But alas, the finer points lack polish and the wimpy, predictable end completely disappoints

Movies: Singh is kinng - Review

Punjabi is queenn. Wit is Jack. Plot & logic are thrown out of the deck. So, the viewers are ace jokers! But, who am I to stop Akshay-Katrina fans from rushing to the theaters?

Movies: Ugly aur Pagli - review

The mysteries of love, and the things it makes you do, are not so easy to articulate. As we find out in Ugly aur Pagli. The uneven pace kills this time.

Movies: thoda pyaar thoda magic - review

Though I have huge complaints in most departments, I can't deny that it's perfect packaging for kids in the 3-12 age group. With hardly any "sad" moments, the characters are mostly colorful and chirpy. But, given my reservations, should I actually encourage my kids to watch this when not too long ago Taare Zameen Par was around? Oh, why not? There's enough room for everybody.

Movies: Get Smart - Review

Do prepare yourself for outrageous action and stunts. You won’t have time to dwell on thinking how unrealistic any of them were since at this point your logic has stopped functioning. That’s a good thing.

Movies: Review - De Taali

A 2.5 hour long movie. With about an hour's worth of smiles, laughs and hard-core laughter filled in. All because of fresh dialogue and awesome comic timing. You have to be willing to tolerate the many out of place songs and the "sheeeeesh" climax though.

Movies: Mere Baap Pehle Aap - Review

A casual friendly relationship between dad and son could have worked if the movie were about 30 minutes shorter. Otherwise, it is the usual Priyadarshan fare.

Movies: Gul Panag - Interview

An excerpt - "I genuinely and firmly believe that my intelligence levels have dropped. It really has…I find it difficult to grasp basic things. Because intelligence is like a machine, your mind is like a machine, the less you use it, the less of it remains."

Movies: Sarkar Raj - Review

A treat for Bachchan fans and an intense story for the non-believers. If you are mentally prepared for that noise the background music creates and the camera being held in the weirdest possible positions and angles, you can actually enjoy the drama despite all its flaws.

Movies: The first half vs. second half disease in Bollywood

How often have you come out of the theater shaking your head in despair and saying/hearing, “the first half was good, but they completely @#$%&* it up after interval, man!!!” This is what I call the first half-second half syndrome. Read on for an analysis of this disease.

Movies: Bhoothnath

The first half-second half syndrome strikes again. Bhoothnath starts off with imaginative use of animation and has a cute, very enjoyable first half. The latter half not only makes you sorely miss all of it, but also replaces it with lectures (albeit short), a depressing attitude towards youth that go abroad for better prospects, and very avoidable religious connotations
