Two big releases on the weekend - Dilwale & Bajirao Mastani. With limited work load, I was determined to catch at least one of them before it was too late. Good sense prevailed and the love story of a warrior was picked. As a staple diet, Sanjay Leela Bhansali offers you his magnum opus creation.… Continue reading Film Review: Bajirao Mastani

Fashion – Not a show-stopper
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 more… Continue reading Fashion – Not a show-stopper
Letter to Farhan
I watched Rock On and thought I should send a congratulatory note to Farhan & his team for a good job they had done. Dear Farhan, I couldn't ask for a better treat. I watched Rock On with my wife and I think it was time well spent on my birthday. "Multi-talented" is the word… Continue reading Letter to Farhan
Khuda Ke Liye I didn’t like it
This movie has been raved and only raved. It's indeed a powerful and bold subject for the audience to see, believe and leave an after-effect. But IMHO the production values were very poor.

And I am not surprised why those little elements of comedy were added in there - just… Continue reading Vidya Balan is wonderful in Bhool Bhulaiyaa
Movie Review: Jab We Met
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,… Continue reading Movie Review: Jab We Met
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
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… Continue reading Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
Movie update
Last weekend I had to stay indoors to nurse my sick granny. With nothing much to do when she was resting, I spent some good time trying to catch up on my un-watched list of movies. Two flicks knocked off. Stealth - A total sci-fi movie, this one made for some interesting visual and special… Continue reading Movie update
