Murder 2 (2011) – Review

The mystery of Murder 2 was: is it an actual sequel to Murder? Is it a horror movie? You’ll just have to watch it to find out, and I did. Most directors are headed the sequel or prequel way these days. Though Murder had released more than seven years ago …

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, …

Dum Maro Dum (2011) – Review

“Goa meri jaan, jannat ki shaan,” are the opening lines of Dum Maro Dum and the opening scenes of the movie show you Goa like you haven’t probably ever seen before.  The first few scenes tell you that this movie is going to have great cinematography, which it indeed does. …

7 Khoon Maaf (2011) – Review

7 Khoon Maaf, as the name suggests, is a movie about murder. However, contrary to popular belief, Priyanka isn’t really a typical villain. She in fact plays the role of Susanna, a sad woman who only wants true love in life. Her fate, however, is so cursed that even after …

Mahal (1949)

Bombay Talkies Mahal is a story of ghosts, spooks, apparitions, jitters, quivers, bats and snakes. It succeeds in giving one the creeps, but through more causes than one. In the initial stage the spine tingling chill of weird horror which slowly creeps down one’s back is because of the masterly …

Hisss (2010)

Once the movie has ended (if you have managed to actually watch it till it ends) the only thing anybody would say is: “what the hell was that?!” Perhaps the fact that Hisss has an international female director created high expectations from the movie. Also, we were excited to see …

Ek Second…Jo Zindagi Badal De… (2010)

Cleverly nestled between an I Hate Luv Storys and Rajneeti trailer was a 30 second promo on local cable – ‘Fasale Bahara Hoon Mai’ was the name of the track, which saw former Femina Miss India Nikita Anand seducing a frigid [gasp!] Moammar Rana in Bollywood’s answer to Punjabi/Pashto pulp. …

Kites (2010)

Kites has made Bollywood attain a completely different level, much higher than any other movie has ever been able to reach before. As many skeptics would want to argue, Kites was anything but Indian. There were barely any traditional Indian elements; there wasn’t much of a Bollywood flavour and many …

Darr (1993)

Cast: Sunny Deol, Juhi Chawla, Shah Rukh Khan Director: Yash Chopra Music: Shiv, Hari Lyrics: Anand Bakshi Capsule Review: Making a departure from the ultra-romanticism of Daag, Kabhi Kabhie and Chandni, Yash Chopra swerved fluently into the sinister with this film.
