ABCD 2

If you are considering ABCD 2 as a movie, then it is just an average drama that follows the usual formula of underdog victory. But as a two and half hour long dance piece, it has more than enough to keep you engrossed to the screen for the variety of styles and of course the… Continue reading ABCD 2

Hamari Adhuri Kahani

It seems like for writer director Mohit Suri, the only way to represent selfless love on screen is by killing one of the protagonist. Hamari Adhuri Kahani from Mohit Suri is one more tragedy filled with beautiful songs, unrealistically poetic dialogs that can be used in quotes pages in Facebook and also an ample dosage… Continue reading Hamari Adhuri Kahani

Dil Dhadakne Do

The only thing that can be said as negative for Dil Dhadakne Do from Zoya Akhthar is that on a basic level it copies her own movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. As ZNMD was not an existing formula when it came and there weren’t many films that felt similar to that, this formula from Zoya… Continue reading Dil Dhadakne Do

Tanu Weds Manu Returns

Very rarely we get to see sequels that are better than the first. I personally felt Tanu Weds Manu as a just about okay film and this time in the form of Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Anand L Rai has come up with a sequel that apparently looks much more entertaining than the first part.… Continue reading Tanu Weds Manu Returns

Bombay Velvet

Piku

Piku is a rare movie without a doubt as it has “motion” driving every emotional thing around it. Wrote around some hilariously realistic arguments (quarrels to be precise) between characters with such individuality, latest movie from Shoojit Sircar leaves  you in a happy mood reliving every fun moment and emotional attachment you saw in that… Continue reading Piku

Gabbar is Back

In a country where a movie like Rang De Basanthi has made a big impact and set a film making benchmark, it is quite difficult to achieve that brilliance. With his first hindi movie Gabbar is Back, director Krish aspires to do something like that. But with very little creative modifications to suit the sensibilities… Continue reading Gabbar is Back

Mr. X

One major funny thing about the latest Vikram Bhatt movie Mr. X is that they have made this movie very seriously (irony). One major unfunny thing about this movie is that popular standup comedian Tanmay Bhatt has acted in this shoddy movie in a sick and silly character. Treated as a fantasy fiction, Mr. X starring… Continue reading Mr. X
