Yash Raj Film’s latest venture Bachna ae Haseeno may or may not be a box office hit. But if there is something they have hit for sure is a a good in-film brand placement initiative with Microsoft’s Halo 3.
The brand team for Halo 3 at Microsoft, India should be commended for a wonderful branding [...]

Membership to a DVD library really tempts you to call for a movie every night. But I guess getting one movie a week is what I manage. Just finished watching Death at a Funeral (absolutely hilarious) and The Bucket List (ok!).
And this is how my current have-to-watch movie list looks like:

Typical and predictable storyline: Stranger boy meets stranger girl. Lots of goof-ups, drama [...]

I spent some time today listening to the music of OM SHANTI OM and SAAWARIYA. I can’t really do a “music review” so I am going to just share my likes and dislikes.
Om Shanti Om
I was disappointed, very disappointed. I was expecting it to be better than Main Hoon Na also but I guess the [...]

I watched The Bourne Ultimatum and I enjoyed it very much. The third sequel in Jason Bourne’s adventure this is a well directed movie. Some of the action sequences are commendable and it really amazes how the stunt directors manage to get through without any major mishaps. There are a few scenes in which I [...]

Last night I watched Chak De! India. Although you know early on that being a Hindi movie, the Indian team HAS to win - its the journey which really keeps you hooked. GO WATCH THIS ONE! I think Nirav took some excellent learnings from the movie and I think one of the big learning which [...]
