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. The movie is not something really to write about, it’s rather slow and at times gets boring. And I am not surprised why those little elements of comedy were added in there – just [...]

I am not a Kareena Kapoor fan and Jab We Met was not really on my To Watch list. However thanks to some friends I went along and I am glad we watched this film. Nice entertainment is what describes Jab We Met. Typical and predictable storyline: Stranger boy meets stranger girl. Lots of goof-ups, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If I am in the mood I usually try to catch up with the day’s happenings on the news between 9pm and 10pm. Last night I was amazed to see yet another piece of crap making it to the headlines and having two experts LIVE on the show to share their opinion on the same [...]

I saw Jhoom Barabar Jhoom last night. Although I don’t do popular movie reviews I thought this would be worth sharing because it’s released only last Friday. So a couple of quick thoughts on seeing this movie: Shaad Ali disappoints on the story line. After a very engrossing Bunty Aur Bubli – JBJ is weak [...]

I am in office waiting for some creatives to get ready for tomorrow morning’s meeting. Meanwhile I hit upon a good article by Ajit Balakrishnan at his Rediff iLand. Although he talks about the return of the “one minute movies”, the post hits upon some rather interesting stuff like: Their first screening of films to [...]

Last night was crazy, I picked up the hilarious slice of American Pie, served up Stifler-style in American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile! And what is this Naked Mile? Well, after the exams students (supposedly to let off their steam) gather around the campus and run a mile NAKED. Call that cool or rather hot, [...]
