1 Line Review: Paisa Vasool Thriller.  One fine day you wake up to be in a glade along with many other boys and all that you remember is just your name. What would you do? Well, you join others in finding answers, what else!  Based on a popular book series with the same name (which […]

The Book title is – Think Like a Freak – How to think smarter about almost everything!  The authors are Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner. If the names do not trigger any reaction let me tell you about the previous 2 books they have written – Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics. Ah, now you

1 Line Review: A Road (trip) Less Taken. The last roadtrip movie I saw was ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. Ek woh movie thi aur ek ye hai! (Disclaimer: I have watched ZNMD more than 50 times). Another roadtrip movie I love and roll on my sofa laughing is ‘Dhamaal’. This one is a copy of

1 Line Review: You are lonely at the top.  I almost cried. Do I need to say anything else. The movie portrays the life of Diana in the last 2 years before she died in a car crash in France. The story line includes her separation from Prince Charles and how she falls in love

1 Line Review: Mardaani ko dard nahin hota. Mardaani is partially based on true incidents. Kidnapping and human trafficking of teenage girls. Rani Mukherji is a senior inspector and she gets behind the syndicate when her adopted child (a street beggar) Pyaari gets kidnapped.  How the movie unfolds from there on makes Mardaani a thrilling and

1 Line Review: Go watch Singham again, instead.  Yes, go watch Singham again, it still is more fun than this loud useless return! Two hours and twenty minutes of been-there-done-that loudness and stale story from Mr. Rohit Shetty, Bajirao Singham and the gang.  You don’t even get to see flying Scorpios – double loss I tell

1 Line Review: Zara hat ke!  If you have not liked few of the recent superhero movies then you should definitely give this one a ‘dekho’. The lead characters are way too funny. This includes a raccoon (Rocket) and a tree (Groot). Yes, I said a tree and the tree has only 3 words in his vocabulary – ‘I am Groot’.

1 Line Review: Box Office main aata hoon, samajh main nahin.  How to write a movie for a super star? Simple, pack everything. Also, pick up ideas from various movies and get doubly sure that its a hit. For instance, here at Kick, you can see inspirations from Sharabi, Dhoom 3 , Desi Boys, Jab

1 Line Review: Thrilling and Intense!  Disclaimer: I have not seen any of the other movies in the Planet of the Apes series.  Andy Serkis, in performance capture mode and as the ape Caesar. (Credit: WETA/20th Century Fox) Guess that was the reason why I enjoyed it. It did not start well for me but

1 Line Review: DDLJ in a new package.  It was all over the news that Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya (HSKD) is a remake of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayengen (DDLJ), so that was not a surprise. Twist was that there was no twist at all and the story broadly moved exactly like DDLJ! Well, almost 🙂
