Review: No Smoking (2007)

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Another movie that goes straight into ‘cinophile’s pick’. This movie has been really getting some bad press & reviews, and naturally so , for those reviewers who have grown on a steady diet of subhash ghai & karan johar ,this movie goes way beyond their comprehensions. For those who might have preferred a mayapuri over […]

Johnny Gaddar - Review

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

I had absolutely enjoyed every bit of “Ek Hasina Thi” it was slick, stylish & fast paced thriller , the best part was the storytelling. It didnt work in the conventional suspense movie mould , held the tension throughout & the viewer was kept on the edge of his seat compelled to think about […]

Manorama Six Feet Under (2007) - Got damn good !!

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Layerd , Complex, Involving Noir flick , oh yes im talking of a hindi film , belive it. Manorama Six Feet Under has to be in the top three flicks out of bollywood this year. A dark murder mystery with a suspense element beyond the usual & something which makes one try to piece […]

Review : Darling (2007)

Friday, September 14th, 2007

With the horrendously horrible aag still burning in my memory , my thoughts went on to whether RGV was over, i mean he has created a niche for himself , quite a reputation & well some artists do have a burnout, and this was actually more evident with the 2006 movie directed by him title […]

Cinophile’s Pick : Raakh (1989)

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Dark, Stark, Atmospheric, Eerie are words that we usually cannot use for hindi movies. But if there is a movie which would have everything of that and a whole lot more to offer, it has to be Aditya Bhattacharya’s Cult movie “Raakh”. Might i add few hindi movies reach the status of a cult movie.

Movie Review : Dhokha (2007)

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Dhokha is Pooja Bhatt’s latest directorial venture. After two box office failures - Paap & Holiday which i think were decent enough directorial efforts & did tread territories that bollywood doesnt usually do , but they did’nt leave a significant impact mainly because the subject failed although pooja as a director wasnt too bad.
 
Dhokha again […]
