The excitement generated by the INOX-MouthShut Movie Review Contest was tremendous. For two months we witnessed frenetic activity on the web site. The reviews were extremely well written and therefore it was very difficult for the jury to pick the winners. Winners are special. No two ways about it. But attempting to win is even more special. No two ways about it either. As Ronald Reagan once said, "My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out�.

Presenting, the list of the winners.

Oxford Bookstore, India's leading base camp for books, music and gifts has joined hands with MouthShut to make book reading a rewarding experience.
