‘Kai Po Che’ Movie Review
I am not much of a Chetan Bhagat fan. Not because I do not like his books, but just because I have never got down to reading them. I prefer the Shiva Trilogy instead. But yes, there is no doubt his books make excellent movies. Based on Bhagat’s 3 Mistakes of My Life and adapted for [...]

Let me begin by saying I’m not a film critic, nor am I qualified to be an Industry analyst. Like most people, I enjoy watching movies and admire the art of filmmaking. So why am i writing this? Honestly, it wasn’t something I planned, rather a feeling I could no longer ignore. It’s been over [...]

A fantastic idea…3 brilliant plots…Beautiful cinematography…Some terrific performances…DAVID. Acclaimed director Bejoy Nambiar follows up post his brilliant debut in 2011 with Shaitan.

Raaz, though inspired by What Lies Beneath, was a benchmark in 2002. It was a polished psycho-horror film, ahead of the curve then. It had a fresh pair and some wonderful songs.

5. May 2012
As the name suggests, the film though released as a part of a franchisee, is not a sequel to the 2008 Jannat. What the Bhatts have successfully managed is to continue their franchisees with the plot line (although inspired) being similar, which gives them a free hand to play around with the cast and characters [...]
