Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (KANK) or Alvida Keh Do Na
OK, KANK is not as bad as to say, please alvida keh do naa! Indeed, the movie is a good timepass.
So it has a borrowed story from an English movie, not much originality is left in the world these days. Two marriages, one made on love, the other part-love and part-obligation. As usual the female [...]
Fanaa - Bollywood breathes afresh
That Fanaa resurrects Bollywood would be an understatement.
I was under the impression that Bollywood has forgotten how to make “quality” films. It’s good to know that the memory still lingers.
The so-called comedies that come in torrents from Bollywood are so pathetic and disgusting - they really trivialize and insult the audience. They are so eye-wateringly [...]
Aamir Khan has no freedom of speech - Do you or I?

Yahaan - portraying life in Kashmir
Yahaan is a beautiful film outlining the touching story of the brave soldiers and the equally courageous people of Kashmir. Shoojit Sircar has done an excellent job of showing the real situation and not some glorified fantasy of the Army.
A city bred boy comes as Captain to Kashmir and falls in love with a girl [...]
Salaam Namaste
Breathing new life and freshness into Bollywood!
Salaam Namaste is even better than the reviews. Though love at first sight seems a bit too stale, the living together without marriage and the guy freaking out when his girlfriend becomes pregnant reflects real life so vividly. Preity and Saif decide to live together just to see if [...]
