Movie review – Ghajini

Tuesday, January 6, 2009 18:57

Loosely inspired by the convoluted Christopher Nolan film Memento, Ghajini deals with a man suffering from anterograde amnesia who is searching for the killer of his wife. His only clue is a dying whisper from her -"Ghajini".

Movie review – Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Friday, January 2, 2009 21:47

Like other Yash Raj films, RNBDJ also seems to exist outside normal space/time and the reality of life in India. Shahrukh Khan plays Surinder Sahni, a Walter Mitty-like meek everyman who works for Punjab Light and Power in Amritsar. When circumstances( that only happen in the movies) force him to ...

It feels like the era of the superstar may be over, which is probably not a bad thing for the future of the Hindi movie industry. it also feels like the hegemony of big studios has been disrupted , with big showy films with known leads tanking at the box ...

Movie Review - Slumdog Millionaire

Movie Review – Slumdog Millionaire

Thursday, December 11, 2008 18:32

One is used to watching execrable movies made out of beloved books. Rarely is the converse true. Slumdog Millionaire, adapted from the mediocre Q & A, is a jolt to the senses.

Movie review - Dostana

Movie review – Dostana

Saturday, November 22, 2008 23:10

Heavily inspired by I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Dostana is a product of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, directed by debutant director Tarun Mansukhani. I suppose the best way to describe it is a gay-medy. Handsome horny hunks Kunal and Sam(eer) find themselves pretending to be a gay couple so ...

Movie review – Fashion

Sunday, November 9, 2008 18:07

From the dingy, dark, drinking holes in Chandni Bar to the spotlit world of high fashion in quite an arc for filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, who makes another faintly exploitative movie exposing the dirt under the complexity that is Mumbai.

Movie review - Roadside Romeo

Movie review – Roadside Romeo

Sunday, November 2, 2008 14:46

On paper it looks like such a slam dunk; Yash Raj Films, a top quality production house with access to the biggest talents in Bollywood, and Disney Films, an animation giant, collaborating to make a cutting-edge animated movie entirely produced in India. On screen, the result is pretty sad. Created at ...

Movie review- A Wednesday

Movie review- A Wednesday

Sunday, October 12, 2008 15:47

A Wednesday has been unfairly clubbed with other movies dealing with bomb blasts in Mumbai. Terrorism is a subject that goes deep into the psyche of the average Mumbai resident and it is not surprising that different filmmakers try to deal with it in their own unique way. But this particular ...

Movie Review - Welcome to Sajjanpur

Movie Review – Welcome to Sajjanpur

Friday, October 3, 2008 13:30

Why give your movie an English name when it is entirely set in the North India heartland? Shyam Benegal’s latest is set in the sleepy village of Sajjanpur, situated at a vague distance from the big bad metropolis of Mumbai and populated by quirky characters straight out of Nukkad.

Movie Review – Rock On!

Friday, September 12, 2008 18:43

Imagine you were cleaning out your closet and came across photos of yourself and your friends from a few decades ago. Would the pictures make you laugh or would you cry? Did you live up to the promises of those snapshots in time or did you end up making compromises like everyone else? And whatever happened to those great guys you knew? Director Abhishek Kapoor explores the angst of nostalgia in his second film, Rock On, starring an ensemble cast with the only familiar face being Farhan Akhtar. Farhan, who directed another superb buddy movie, Dil Chahta Hai, gets in front of the camera this time, delivering a knockout performance which is sure to leave more than a few knees weak.
