1 line review: A slow political thriller lasting 2 hours.  After Khosla Ka Ghosla, Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! and Love Sex aur Dhokha comes another ‘zara hat ke’ movie from Dibakar Banerjee.  This one is about Bharat Nagar where a mega infrastructure project (backed by the ruling party) promising to change the face of this small town, […]

1 line review: Dabangg remake with a new hero, Shaolin Soccer in hindi. Take it as a comedy movie and you will not mind the nonsensical violence.  2 months back when the first trailer was released I announced it as a ‘flop’. Am glad I was wrong 🙂 The first 30 minutes you will laugh your seat off! The ‘Chinta

“My name is Vinod, Agent Vinod”, if you thought our desi Bond would introduce himself this way then you are highly mistaken. With the plot set in multiple countries,  at times we find ourselves asking, ‘sorry, why are we in this country now?’ And with way too many characters, director Sriram Raghavan expects too much

Summary: A pregnant woman searching for her husband.  Another classy performance by Bidya sorry Vidya Balan. And this comes in just after she received a National Award for ‘The Dirty Picture’, what a way to say thank you. What an actress.  [A joke doing rounds – Having 3 lovers in ‘The Dirty Picture’, in ‘Kahaani’, getting pregnant

In the end you might stand up and applaud for Irrfan Khan! What a deadly performance. ‘Kaho haan’.  Yes, this movie could become a life changing one for Irrfan. Enough of selling prepaid cards (Vodafone ad) and Life Insurance policies (remember Kya aap kam insurance lene ki bimaari ke shikaar hai wala ad?), Paan Singh
