NUMbRAO JAAN!!!
Umrao Jaan -2006 Bollywood

I think this would be one of those rare instances when the review was better than the movie.. You have done a great social service..prevented us hardworking souls from spending moolah on this flick.. Best part of the review were the comparisons..esp suniel shetty's costumes and wooden xpressio...n..too good.. keep writing//like i said, its a moral responsibility..give urself a pat in th back for this one..Read More

Nothing new.

This movie can be evaluated from two stands..one,if you havent watched malayalam movies and one,if you have.If you have watched malayalam movies,then well its nothing new..Every single scene reminds you of some movie by some director.Priyadarshan has always redefined the term 'originality' like ...Read more

Rang de basanti - a generation weakens!
Rang De Basanti

sorry buddy..but i just cant agree wth your review.The movie's central message was not that please shoot the defence minister or for that matter any corrupt minister.In fact Sidharth sums it up towards the end when he says that you cannot line up all the politicians in one line and shoot them all.Ul...timately it is up to us to change the system from within.I dont think it is 'shameful' that parallels have been drawn between these charatters and our freedom fighters.What today's India needs is modern day revolutionaries to reform the system.Mohan Bhargav of Swades took another path but even his motive is the same.Similarly, i dont think that we must be prejudiced towards the characters just because they drink,smoke etc....i think a vast majority of odays youth do that today,this movie just tries to capture that via its protagonists.And regarding masala elements..please show me one item song or unwanted song.The screenplay was scratchy in parts and there were other flaws with the movie,definitely.Please try and absorb what the movie tries to convey and not just the surface meaning.Unless you look deep you will never be able to appreciate the message of the movie.

Garam Masala – Thanda Paani?
Garam Masala

this was one of the worst movies of last year.The movie hall was well air conditioned so i caught up on some sleep.And seeing a shopping mall all dressed up as an airport was the only thing that really made me laugh in the movie.This movie is a poor imitation of a classic malayalam movie.The imitati...on doesnt come anywhere close to the original.Read More

Science and Religion
Angels & Demons - Dan Brown

this book was not only several notches below da vinci code but it almost seemed as though brown had paid someone to pull out a cheap imitation of da vinci code.or that da vinci code was written by someone else.very disappointing book.but good revu!

Promising but..

When I went to see 15 Park Avenue I was totally smitten with Aparna Sen's style of filmmaking,she was sensitive in her portrayal of the human spirit and at the same time she never minced words in bringing out harsh reality.She is an honest and original filmmaker which in today's time and age is ...Read more
