Stanley Ka Dabba (2011) – Review

First things first, Stanley Ka Dabba (SKD) is not another Taare Zameen Par. Indeed, the plot revolves around a child and it’s based on a serious issue but Stanley Ka Dabba is poles apart from TZP. It’s based on a phenomenal issue related to school going children that one ignores …

Patiala House (2011) – Review

As soon as you see an Akshay Kumar movie’s trailer you jump to a conclusion that it will be a mindless comedy but let me be clear on this one, Patiala House isn’t just that! It in fact is probably one of the most serious roles Akshay has ever performed. …

Game (2011) – Review

When it comes to films starring Abhishek Bachchan, one is somewhat wary. Often times it’s because despite the hype, many (if not most) of AB Junior’s films turn out to be duds. For every Yuva or Guru, there is a Raavan, Bus Itna Sa Khwab Hai etc. Having said that, …

Rahi (1953) – Review

The Dev Anand-Nalini Jaywant combination was as effective and popular as his pairing with Geeta Bali and Madhubala. An intense and dedicated actress, Nalini Jaywant appeared opposite Dev Anand in “Rahi” (1953), “Munimji” (1955) and “Kala Pani” (1958). “Rahi” is based on Mulk Raj Anand’s “Two Leaves and a Bud.” …
