1 Line Review: This family entertainer is a must watch!  To start with, Rishi Kapoor takes the cake. And his Oscar winning make up artist (It take 6-8 hours to get that makeup done). Its not laudable just because Rishi Kapoor went thru that painstakingly slow process of getting the make up done but because […]

1 Line Review: Thriller all the way!  Well, first came White House Down (2013) then came Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and now London Has Fallen. Its actually a sequel to ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ but ‘White House Down’ which released in the same year was very similar to the concept all these movies have – The President’s

Piyush Pandey is a legend in the Indian advertising industry and in his book ‘Pandeymonium’ he takes you thru his childhood, his inspirations and various campaigns he or his company has famously worked on. Most interesting part about the book is that he gives you a background on many of his best ad campaigns which have now become

Subhash Chandra is to Indian Satellite TV what Sachin Tendulkar is to Cricket. This article was published in BW Businessworld issue dated ‘March 21, 2016’ with cover story titled ‘Budget 2016 Split Verdict’ Link to the article at Businessworld – http://businessworld.in/article/Book-Review–Man-With-A-Mission/2016-03-09-91793/  Unlike what is common knowledge, Subhash Chandra is much more than just about introducing and pioneering

1 Line Review: Well, not funny anymore!   Osama is long gone and jokes on his death became state in the first movie itself. Though I loved that one (Tere Bin Laden, 2016), the so called sequel came way too late. In 2016 if you are making a movie on Osama’s death then you must have

1 Line Review: Bravery cannot be rated. Movies can be.  Neerja is a movie based on the real story of the chief flight attendant – Neerja Bhanot’s bravery during an American aircraft (Pan Am fFlight 73) highjack incident which happened as soon as the plan landed in Karachi on 5th Sept 1986. With quick thinking she alerted

1 Line Review: The kind of movie Indians should be watching. The day I booked my tickets for Airlift was the same day I read that the movie Dilwale became the 2nd highest grosser of 2015. And am sure for 2016 as well such movies will dominate the box office. If only movies like ‘Dum

1 Line Review: This awakening is average.  Yes, I was expecting more. To give you a benchmark, I was expecting more thrill than what Guardians of the Galaxy gave me. After all its a Star Wars movie (with a great name comes greater responsibilities). The droid (pictured below) was the only funny part and whom I enjoyed watching thoroughly.

1 Line Review: An awesome mix of thrill, humour and style.   One of the 2 most thrilling movies of 2015. Other being Mad Max (SPY came pretty close to being an epic comic movie for the year). The Man from UNCLE is based on the 60’s TV series with the same name. Incidentally the storyline is also

1 Line Review: Mega. Epic. Larger than life. Welcome to a Bhansali movie.  Being a Bhansali movie has its own share of awesomeness as well as its own curse. As he so passionately works on his projects that he gets carried away at times (hint: mostly with the movie lengths). But then its a Bhansali movie
