Post KHILADI and BAAZIGAR, Abbas-Mustan rightfully earned the tag of being the undisputed Badshaahs of Thrillers. They made a series of films thereafter — of varied genres — but every time they attempted a thriller, the comparisons with KHILADI and BAAZIGAR were inevitable. That’s because Abbas-Mustan couldn’t outdo these two films ever.
The director duo’s latest [...]
A standing ovation for Subhash Ghai for venturing into a territory that would be considered uninviting for an escapist entertainer. But ‘Black & White’ doesn’t impress you merely because it’s a daring deviation for the showman.
It’s a well crafted, finely written and packaged piece of cinema done with more heartfelt Gandhian articulations than most films [...]
Over the last few weeks, television channels have been flooded with debates over the relationship between Jodhaa and Akbar. Was she his wife or his daughter-in-law? The question has seen many answers, arguments and counter arguments. So it isn’t surprising to see a disclaimer even before Ashutosh Gowariker’s epic saga starts.
We are told that while [...]
Sometimes just talking about a film spoils the fun of watching it. It’s true what they say about some films — the less you know about it before you go watch it, the better. Rajat Kapoor’s Mithya is exactly that kind of film, so you can understand my dilemma even as I attempt to review [...]

These two are made for each other in Rohit Shetty’s La-la Land — he is addicted to ice-cream she dubs for kiddie cartoons. He is a cop and she is a damsel who has a Sunday missing from her week.

For every one of us who’s come to expect original and sensible entertainment from Nagesh Kukunoor, his latest film, Bombay To Bangkok will prove to be a disappointment.
Come to think of it, it’s exactly the kind of picture you don’t expect from him because it’s predictable, the casting’s all wrong, and in the end it [...]
No larger than life character or lavish sets, over-the-board acting or trademark merchandise – Aditya Chopra’s latest offering ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ is an extraordinary love story of an ordinary man and thoroughly entertains the audience.
After the record breaking hit ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (1994), followed by ‘Mohabbatein’ in 2000, the third much-awaited Aditya [...]

Exit from the hall at the end of the movie was the better part of watching Welcome , director Anees Bazmee’s latest comedy film. The movie falls way short of expectations.
Firstly, the film does gross injustice to an actor like Akshay Kumar , someone who has time and again proved his prowess at comedy. In [...]

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.
