The review doesn’t have the story, but some little points about it. If you want to avoid spoilers completely, leave the parts appearing between <spoiler> and </spoiler> tags. Do you know what is Aamir Khan paradox? Simple. It’s unfortunate that we make a movie on college students with a 44 year old Aamir Khan, not believing [...]
As the sentence of some guy at PFC goes, we started watching the film as critics, but Paanch turned us into mere audience very soon. I think the sentence describes Paanch quite well. I must say, had I seen Paanch before all Anurag’s movies, I would not need a Black Friday and a Dev.D to be his [...]
I don’t see many English movies, or at least did not use to, until a few months back. So I do not think I am good enough to write a movie review for a normal English movie, let alone Avatar. The Avatar. First thing, I loved the movie. I loved the effects, and even with [...]
Warning: Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year is NOT Chak De India. Rocket Singh is not a typical Yash Raj product. It’s real time, not larger than life, and it has small people. The way Rocket Singh says in the advertisement, 37 percent, with grace marks. So do not expect a Shahrukh Khan who spreads [...]

And the question rises once again. What are movie reviews for? To give one’s opinion on whether a person reading the review should go and watch the movie or not. Isn’t it? So I can finish reviewing Paa in one, two or three words. Here are the three reviews. 3 Word Review: Just Loved it! [...]
Is it really going to affect you what I write here about the movie? Well, if it doesn’t and you think Himesh Reshammiya cannot be any good, this is the end of the review. But if you still think there is a chance, here I go. The last movie I had seen in a cinema [...]
I don’t know whether I should be doing this, but since I am a critic, or at least aspiring to be one, I think it’s good if I let my opinion go out. And this is what I am doing here. In the past few days my blog has got some regular visitors who come [...]
A typical Priyardarshan movie, De Dana Dan is yet another piece where you feel like going inside the 70mm screen and telling the characters “Stop, please stop the unnecessary confusion.” Yes, this is what happens, nobody in the movie knows why, how and from where things are happening.
I had huge expectations. They didn’t get fulfilled. But I saw a good movie. I think that was my mistake when I went to see Kurbaan. I wanted things to be perfect, but expecting perfection from a debutant director is not always a good idea. Still, the movie is overall good and in some places [...]
How to make a good movie? One of the first requirements of a movie is a good story. Though there are film makers who have the talent to make a movie worth a watch even with an okay script, not every one can do that. And Kunal Deshmukh is not that great. At least not [...]
If you think Rajkumar Santoshi is the director of so-serious-movies like Ghayal, Damini, China Gate, Pukar, Lajja, Legend of Bhagat Singh and Khakee, you are missing something. He’s the man who gave us Andaz Apna Apna. And now he’s there with Ajab Prem ki Ghajab Kahani. OK. Frankly, Andaz Apna Apna is a classic and [...]

Warning: If you are above eighteen and proud of it, the movie may not be for you. Yes. Aladin is not for those who remember the length of reel of the movie is 3646.35 meters. It’s for those who do not mind the Khwaish town which is somewhere near Delhi and Chandigarh falling somewhere near [...]
Dear Vipul, If only you knew that we, the people of India, who happen to be your audience, are living in the 21st century and not in ’70s or ’90s, London Dreams would be a blockbuster. Still, your effort was good, and I must congratulate you for a better than average movie you made. That [...]
