Bbuddah… Hoga Terra Baap (2011) – Review

I’ve never been a stickler for action movies – particularly the dishum-dishum one-man army variety Bollywood serves on a blood-stained platter. The one exception, though, remains Indian cinema’s proverbial ‘angry young man’, Amitabh Bachchan: superhero for the masses eons before a shirtless Salman Khan became all the rage. Zanjeer.

There are movies that will always make you regret wasting precious hours of your life. Double Dhamaal is one of them and I’m not even being critical here. If you think you have a slightly refined taste in movies, stay away from Double Dhamaal at all costs. However, if you …

Doctor (1941) – Review

Poverty, disease, superstition and caste distinctions were all targets of a subtle yet powerful attack in New Theatres’ “Doctor” which came in 1941, a year after the original Bengali version, from which it had been dubbed and re-edited by director-editor Subodh Miter.

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 …

Turning 30!!! (2011) – Review

“When you are in your twenties, you don’t know if you are a silk person or a chiffon person; a BMW person or a Volkswagen. You live it up hard, you have everything going your way. Thirty is a point where you sit down to take stock of where you …

Luv Ka The End (2011) – Review

Girl power is a force to be reckoned with and that’s precisely what Luv Ka The End, Yash Raj’s latest flick is all about. It displays a different side of Bollywood, one that shows young girls moving on after breaking up instead of shedding tears for rest of their lives. …

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. …
