The most basic problem with Dus Kahaniyaan, the omnibus film featuring ten short stories, is that there is no common theme, nothing at all really, that merits these ten stories to be slapped together as one collection.
Unlike Ramgopal Varma’s Darna Mana Hai or its follow-up Darna Zaroori Hai which were both omnibus films whose short [...]
Sudhir Mishra’s ‘Khoya Khoya Chand’ recreates the Bombay film industry of the fifties and the sixties beautifully. Everything from the sets to the costumes to the overall feel is in place. Coupled with beautiful performances by a competent set of actors, the film does manage to leave an impact.

First off, using the ever-fantastic words of Pete Townshend entirely out of context, The Kids Are Alright.
No, Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor — megahyped bachchas sharing a surname but entirely different Bollywood legacies — aren’t, as the hype might have had you believe, the instant quick-mix superstars ready to take Bollywood into the next generation. He’s [...]
With a rather unusual name, the story is more unusual and is a thriller about a chain smoker (John Abraham).
After two highly controversial films, albeit good films, ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Paanch’, Director Anurag Kashyap is back with his next film.

‘No Smoking’ is being made under the [...]
