In today’s world writing a review about a movie which was released more than a week back would be labelled as laid back approach. But the fact is this is a movie which had such a bi-polar reaction that it amazed me and many a times I was almost about to question my reaction to the movie. Many of you might wonder what’s the big deal in having such kind of reactions from the crowd. Isn’t that true with most of the movies? May be yes. But till date, if I assume that I have asked 100 people about the movie, exactly 50 percent said it is the best they ever saw of SRK and another half said it was the worst that they ever witnessed....
When I first heard about the movie theme back in October-November, the first question that came to my mind was how would a starcast of Aamir Khan, Sharman and Madhavan justify being students of an engineering college. Thankfully I didn’t utter...

I am really in the mood for some huge and loud crackers after the dilute acid we have been treated to, from the “Acid Factory” last week, not to mention the disturbance caused by “Do Knot Disturb” the week before. Of course,...

After the last pairing of Priyanka Chopra and Hurman Baweja in Love Story 2050, I was very apprehensive about watching What’s Your Rashee? But lo, each show was running to house-full crowds in every multiplex of the city. I couldn’t get...

I know it is Monday still, but I simply cannot wait for the weekend already. I am longing to unwind, to get away from classrooms and computers, and to get in front of a huge screen, watching a good movie, seated in a comfortable recliner. So to help...

Weekend. The word is synonymous with bliss for hard-workers (like me). And all we want to do on a weekend is chill out. Go picnicking somewhere, or spend a lazy afternoon inside an air-conditioned cinema hall. The movies released this week are Tere...
Twilight – Leaves You In A Trance

I’m going to take a sort of detour from my usual articles, to review not a movie, but a book – Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I know most of you have already read it (probably all the parts) or have watched the movie, but I would still like...

Rakhi Ka Swayamvar
Hate her all you want, but you cannot ignore Rakhi Sawant.
After grabbing headlines with all sorts of controversies including the “Mika-kiss”, her relationship with ex-boyfriend Abhiskeh, and a dress of one-rupee coins...

This weekend sees the release of the much-publicised piece of commercial Bollywood fluff, that is Kambakkth Ishq. Now, with hype as ridiculous as has been attached to this film, and with two of the biggest names in the industry, Akshay Kumar & Kareena...

Directed by Kabir Khan, of Kabul Express non-fame, New York stars John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Katrina Kaif, in what is arguably her most dramatic role yet. Now, being a release from the Yash Raj stable, their first one of the year at that,...
Yay! Friday! (26th June 2009) – “New York” and “Bolt!”

Well I am back with my updates of movies releasing every week (hopefully). I must confess that the producers’ strike had extinguished my enthusiasm for writing these articles, but I’m trying to re-kindle it anyway. So this week is very good,...

My today’s fortune on orkut read, “Change is the law of life”. So let us see which of the Bollywood stars made waves by changing, i.e with makeovers :P.

There is already a list of The Best of Bollywood 2009 by Sahil Rizwan. So, for this reason, and also because I enjoy making fun of things more than I enjoy singing songs of praise, I will give a list of the worst Bollywood movies ever (not restricted...
But Pappu Can’t Dance Saala!
On 13 June 2009 by Mubashir Ahmed -

Last year gave us that very enjoyable movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, from which the song Pappu Can’t Dance became an anthem in colleges. It was in very popular use to tease nerds and rag newbies. Any bookworm was named Pappu. I love the song. It...
Great Songs But… Flop Movies

My decision to watch a Bollywood movie used to be is based on its songs. If the songs are great, then I most definitely will watch the movie. But I must admit that just songs or music are not good metrics by which one can judge a movie. Here is a...
Have You Had Enough of “Saas – Bahu” Serials? Here’s Something New!

After spending two whole months at home doing nothing apart from a lot of “Doordarshan” (it’s a miserable life!), my T.V gyan has increased. Turns out that Doordarshan is way better than cable (or is it just a bored soul pacifying...

After a humongously long hiatus of 6 weeks, we finally had a new Bollywood release this week with ‘99‘. Now, to be perfectly honest, they could’ve released a remake of Deewar directed by one Mr. Gopal Verma today, and I still would’ve...

‘Meet Bill’ is another one in the long line of pseudo-releases that have come out in theatres recently. In an effort to plug the void created by the non-screening of anything from local shores, multiplexes have had to resort to widely rejected...

‘My Mom’s New Boyfriend’ was this weekend’s new release. Now, ‘new’ is a term used very loosely here, because it has actually been almost a year since this movie first released back in the United States. I think...

Almost five months into 2009, we have hit upon a welcome break from what has been a pretty average year for Bollywood. Most big budget releases, such as the Akshay Kumar starrer Chandni Chowk To China, sank without a trace, while even the movies made...
