Creativity is not a cut and paste formula. And I guess what works once, maybe even twice may not work again and again. That’s what Madhur Bhandarkar seems to have missed out on in his latest project – fashion.
Gay designers, the need to sleep around for work, drug abuse, alcoholism & a bit [...]

My determination to keep up with the movies has paid off well. I have seen quite a few of them lately.
Jodha Akbar is a nice, mega production movie. I didn’t find it long and it’s just not boring. Go watch it for the sheer brilliance and scale with which the movie is made. And [...]

Warning: This post is a spoiler for the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Please don’t read further if you haven’t seen this movie.
