‘Agneepath’ movie review
A remake is always going to be a double edged sword. People will either trash you or worship you for making the current generation aware of how classics used to be made in Bollywood. Mukul Anand’s Agneepath, although somewhat inspired by Scarface, was a film way ahead of it’s time in the 90’s. Amitabh’s experiment with his voice [...]

7. January 2012
Historically, the first week of the calendar year has been inauspicious for bollywood. ‘No One Killed Jessica’ did break that jinx last year, but I guess that had more to do with true content and performances than anything else. This film is director duo Abbas Mustan’s official Indian remake of 2003’s ‘The Italian Job’, which itself is [...]

23. December 2011
Saying that there are lot of expectations from Farhan Akthar and SRK’s Don 2 would be rhetoric. Of course it would be one of the few, if not only Indian franchisees which has the antagonist as the central character. It’s also SRK’s return to playing an all out ’negative’ character after 17 odd years, if you count Anjaam [...]

23. December 2011
It’s an understatement to say that Don 2 falls short of one’s expectations of Farhan Akhtar, the director of the Dil Chahta Hai, a trend setting movie that changed hindi cinema forever. After a successful remake of the Amitabh Bachchan classic ‘Don’, Farhan attempts to take the story further in the sequel. Let’s get one thing clear, Don 2’s promos are [...]

17. December 2011
In 1996, Ethan Hunt and his team of highly specialized agents wooed us with their impossible stunts of dare devilry. They repeated the act not once, but twice in 2000 and 2006. And in true ‘milk the franchisee dry’ hollywood tradition…they are back! As mentioned in the opening sequence of the 1996 Mission: Impossible, should any of the [...]

10. December 2011
Exactly a year ago, the YRF team set the cash registers ringing with a low key, small budget film by one of their in house assistant directors. That film managed to not only set the box office on fire, but gave its debutante lead hero, Ranveer Singh a shot at fame, glamour and glory. That [...]

2. December 2011
‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’ was a huge turning point in the life of Director Milan Luthria. It showcased to the entire world what this man was capable of. Following it up with an equally big hit, if not bigger would pose a challenge for even the stalwarts of the industry. So after a [...]

26. November 2011
Rohit Dhawan’s name does carry a bit of baggage. Being the son of comedy king David Dhawan and ‘Rascals’ not withstanding, the Dhawan name still envokes curiosity. Will the next generation keep the family name alive and kicking? Let’s see if ’Desi Boyz’ delivers. A concept inspired beautifully by ‘The Full Monty’, the 2008 financial meltdown results in unemployed friends, [...]

11. November 2011
Imtiaz Ali made a lovely debut with ‘Socha Na Tha’. But it was his follow up act ‘Jab We Met’, that made us realize what a great storyteller he really is. The super hit JWM, was followed by a rather insipid but still successful ’Love Aaj Kal’. Now, he fuses music, dreams, love and tragedy in ’ROCKSTAR’. After the mega successful ‘Raajneeti’ and the [...]

26. October 2011
So was it worth the wait? Has SRK delivered what he’s been promising for the last several months? There’s no question Ra.One is the biggest undertaking for a bollywood superhero film. The stunts, special effects, animation and sound is at par with hollywood. But what about the story? The film is about a father and son. [...]
