Jaane Tu is a refreshing, delightful film about youth and friendship. Imran Khan shows great potential while his heroine Genelia steals the show. A very fun and enjoyable watch, with much to laugh about.
Love Story 2050 is a complete failure, a badly written attempt at sci-fi starring a Hrithik-lookalike and Priyanka Chopra in one of the worst performances of her career. And it's more than 3 hours long! Stay away!
If you don't like Akshay Kumar or Bhangra, this isn't your album. Then again, let Pritam's songs sink in -- it's his best work in a while (with no words on 'alternate sources' yet) and some of you might be converts.
Now, days before the undeniably, lipsmackingly promising The Dark Knight hits the screens, we have Batman: Gotham Knight, the single greatest screen version of any Batman ever, and it's simply marvellous.
Don't buy this album. Try and get hold of Aai Paapi and Bakhudi Tumhi Ho, and -- if willing to deal with a nasal Nigam -- Soniye Ve; that stuff is fun, but the rest is remixed pap.
Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is a very predictable kids film borrowing from most children's films you can think of. The kids are okay, but Rani and Saif are disappointing.
On paper, the Via Darjeeling guys had a pretty neat idea. Literature and cinema have played with the idea of the unreliable narrator for ages, fooling us and then making us applaud how well we've been fooled. Yet the script, despite its footloose ambition, is eventually as half-baked as the characters.
Anu Malik has tried hard to go 'modern' with this album, clearly picking up on current market trends and trying to incorporate -- and replicate -- them to come up with something peppy and fun, but there isn't a single truly fun track on this album, and it's hard to imagine it catching on.
Yash Raj Films have pioneeringly signed on to create a Bollywood-themed park in Dubai. Built in association with Dubai Infinity Holdings, the glitzy Yash Raj Films Entertainment District is set to open in 2012.
The Incredible Hulk is a perfectly watchable and forgettable masala movie. Tim Roth is awesome and this is one predictably silly comicbook movie that entertains well enough if you don't think too much about it.
Father's Day is really a bit of a stretch in terms of a day of celebration, but, especially in our mother-worshipping motherland, dads take what they can get. So I decided this week's column ought be a look at how our cinema usually says papa.
Why is it that directors think their interviews aren't relevant enough to last beyond the week of pre-release hype? It's insane. They say anything they want to promote their film, but what is the need for absolute falsehood? Public memory might be short, but newsprint -- and weblinks, today -- live on, yet our directors continue to say things for the heck of it.
This is a watchable, entirely forgettable film, and fans of the original are advised to rewatch that one again. Ramu has concentrated far too much on the angles and the light -- both of which succeed only in making you think you're watching a film without clarity -- and not enough on the focus.
The director, the music director, the cinematographer, and the leading man reinstates faith in cinema itself.
Our guest columnist, Raja Sen answers five of the most frequently asked questions posed by our readers.
Writer Saurav Mohapatra channels his inner Manmohan Desai, tosses in a dash of Mad Magazine, and emerges with a comic that is likely to have Farah Khan chuckling awhile.
Even if you close your eyes and try to picture the almighty Amitabh Bachchan doing his thing against the soundtrack, this really is Govinda-overdose like never before.
Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is in that ludicrous, over-the-top Indy style, and all the stuff you need is intact. The film isn't a good movie, but it's fun as hell.
Raja Sen on Amitabh Bachchan's blog, and why the superstar needs a crash course on celebrity blogs.
was quite horribly ill the day Iron Man released, which is why, despite being a hardcore Marvel Comics fanatic, I couldn't review the film -- or even see it till 5 days later, while friends raved breathlessly and cruelly dropped me spoiler bits. The film is a blast, of course.
