A few days back I posted this on my Facebook wall – “How is one supposed to leave his brain behind while watching a movie? This is one art I have tried to master numerous times and failed miserably.” Everyone thought I might have seen Housefull 2. Well, I am glad that I went to … Continue reading »

A Mess called Agent Vinod
The first thing that will come to your mind after this movie ends is - Thank God it’s over! It’s completely bland. There is a stupid storyline which I vaguely remember as it is completely forgettable. The chemistry between the lead pair is conspicuous by it’s absence. The songs are stupid. There is even a … Continue reading »
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu & Dinner table discussions
Who could have thought that Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu will spark off dazzling dinner table debates at home? I saw the movie with mom, dad, sis and Geet (yeah! Polly has been rechristened Geet. It was long overdue). Although the movie was above average, it broke many boundaries around how girls are expected to … Continue reading »
The Horny Indian
No matter how much we try to hide a coupling couple by moving the camera away from the bed as they settle beneath the flower printed bed sheet or by bringing two flowers shaking vigorously suddenly in front of the camera, we cannot snuff out our Kamasutra connections. We are 1.21 billion people who have … Continue reading »
Rockstar Review
After raising my expectations to the tip of Qutab Minar, I finally plunked myself in a smelly multiplex to watch Rockstar. I don’t know if it was the multiplex or someone’s shoe but I desperately wanted the oxygen masks to drop from the ceiling of the hall. Finally, the attendants had to spray the nauseating … Continue reading »
Love Aaj Kal – Movie Review
I don’t know if it was because I was Bollywood starved from the last six months or if it was because the movie was really good, the fact remains that I immensely enjoyed the movie. The Aaj and Kal of it (no spoilers) Jai(Saif Ali Khan) and Meera(Deepika Padukone) are a modern day couple living … Continue reading »
Harry Potter and the half blood prince – Movie Review
I was quite adamant to see this movie on IMAX and in 3D and not in some ordinary theatre. What surprised me was that the booking of the movie opened last month on the 15th. Yes, you read it right! That is when the enormity of the mania hit me. And to make things worse, … Continue reading »
The Animation Mania
Anastasia! That was the name of the girl who opened the door. Of course, Mickey and Donald and Tom and Jerry have always been there, but Anastasia was the one who made me fall in love with Animation movies. She still remains my first love. Then I saw something drastically different. It completely bowled me … Continue reading »
Randomizer : Eurovision, Dances with Wolves & IPod touch
A few of my British colleagues introduced me to Eurovision just before the semifinals started this year. I was quite surprised that I have never heard of this contest before. When something has been going on from the last 50 years, you are bound to hear about it sometime. My faith in my “already gone to … Continue reading »
Monsters vs Aliens
A movie review of an animation film is the last thing you could expect out of me. But this movie is special, mainly because I wanted to watch something crazy this weekend and secondly because this is MY FIRST 3D MOVIE!!!! Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is a happy girl who is about to get married … Continue reading »
A to Z of Bollywood Movies
When I did the A to Z of movies tag, I was accused of being an “Angrez” because none of the movies which I listed were from Bollywood. Well, I did that deliberately! I have watched more Bollywood movies than anyone can imagine!! Secondly, I must admit that this is the cruelest tag I have … Continue reading »
Ghajini – Movie Review
After coming out of the theatre, I asked mom whether she liked the movie. Her answer was: Isn’t this the kind of movie Sunny Deol used to do 20 years back? I told her that she was a genius and this was the best one line in which the movie can be described. Somehow, the … Continue reading »
The A to Z of movies
Another tag!!! And as interesting as the previous one! Lallopallo and Poonam tagged me to list an alphabetical list of my favorite films, one for each letter of the alphabet. I am doing this tag purely for Hollywood movies because including Bollywood movies here would be like comparing apples and oranges. I might do … Continue reading »
Rab ne bana di jodi – Movie Review
I hate to be the harbinger of bad news but someone has to do the job. The movie could have been the “coming of age” of love stories and it was steering that way in the initial 30 minutes but then somehow nosedived and went deep into the abyss of the cliched. Before going into … Continue reading »
Dostana – Movie Review
I think I am getting old, because the people around me were laughing and enjoying the movie while I was yawning like a hippopotamus(I almost took a nap in the second half). Is this what happens when you are exposed to world cinema and have a yardstick to compare? Or am I seriously getting old!!! … Continue reading »
Addicted to Himesh
Ever since Camera Phones were banned in my account in office because of increased security and because the Client raised concerns over security, I have been constantly taking cognisance of what my senses had to offer and the conscious movement of my mind to a plane about which I was completely unaware of. I don’t know … Continue reading »
A Wednesday – Movie Review
There are some movies which make you stand up and clap. Movies which stand out as examples as to how powerful the medium of Cinema can be. Movies which symbolise our times and go down in the history as cult movies. A Wednesday is one such movie. Quite frankly, when I woke up this morning, … Continue reading »
Rock On – Movie Review
Some old photographs in a box – forgotten friends and dreams – a compromised life – success without happiness – a chance meeting with an old friend and nothing to talk – picking up the pieces of an unfinished story – that’s Rock on. Many of us have gone through such feelings, when we have … Continue reading »
The Dark Knight – Movie Review
And thus arrived the mother of all Superhero movies. And what an arrival!!! Its dark, its gloomy, its dangerous and it makes your hair stand. It reinvents the villain in Cinema and pours an avalanche of well crafted sequences and performances your way. This was the most awaited movie of the year and it was … Continue reading »
Love Story 2050 – Movie Review
What could have been the first Indian sci-fi movie and a turning point in the Indian cinema turns out to be a damp squib. The movie reminded me of 10,000 B.C. and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. 10,000 B.C. because the promo of the movie were very promising to say the least and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom because … Continue reading »
