A Painful Cinema near you

The ticketing staff will always offer you the maximum cost tickets, even when the floor plan is all empty. They deliberately dont reveal the floor plan to you and tell that the only tickets available are the Gold / Platinum class. When you enter the cinema, its complete empty & there's not much ...Read more

Fun Cinemas Chembur
Fun Cinemas - Chembur - Mumbai

somewhat similar has been happening to me many a times at Fun Chembur. Pathetic cinema at horrendous cost. I had to watch the same movie - Avatar , along with a bus-load of kids, who had come on some kid's birthday, and playing hide-n-seek , running helter-skelter throughout the movie. There was no ...action from the cinema staff, when all the audience were restless and shouting. Real pain after paying so much.Read More

Hi Sadath, Really informative review about the successful mods you have done on the Shogun. Your review was quite descriptive and narrative like a story.... Thanks for your efforts with the bike, I could learn quite a lot about the bike's mechanism. Though I won't be doing experimentation with ...my bike,( Its too new to risk it, Suzuki 125 Zeus-2008) still I feel that such detailed experiences of senior bikers like you will help a lot of people like me in getting the best from our bikes.

Good observations and a truly useful review. Seems like a good treat for Kamal's fans, like me. Would rush with family to my nearest cinema showing this.

RGV, I need a refund!!
Sarkar Raj

Hi, I'm making a decision that before watching any movie, i'd make it sure to read MS reviews. Now repenting why I didnt, before this one. My feelings and anguish echoes through your review. I too compromised my nice sunday evening on this absolute trash quality film. Its a torture for anyone... to see this, I'd say - a waste of efforts. Don't think the RGV label is going to attract me anymore. Still I consider myself fortunate coz most of his earlier flicks which I had seen were on the small screen at my home ! The most irritating and irking thing I noted was the mindless camera-works. The weird angles taken got me a real headache so much that even on thinking about those scenes, I could get one again. There is no gripping element in the movie. RGV has saved on the fees to the Music Director too ! No noteworty piece of soundtrack.... the govindaa-govindaa theme continues like a heartbeat till it becomes unbearable (wont call it Background music- it always in the foreground). I too found Natasha more promising and in-the-character than Ash getting more screeen time. She has potential if given better roles from good directors. Abhishek seems to be stuck in the GURU mould. He hasn't come out of that past character yet. Bacchan Sr. was the only relief, due to his dialogue delivery. But with the story going nowhere, the film was like a stretched worn-out elastic. PS : This is my personal opinion and I would disagree with any reviewer who feels otherwise. This is in no way intended to harm the RGV tag or their future productions. I wish they output better things next time. Read More

Air Deccan is not professional ,terribly bad.
Simplifly Deccan

Dear Venu, Nice descriptive review about your not-so-warm experience. But this is mostly the scene with most budget carriers in India. The airports authority which charges us exorbitant airport taxes is practically sleeping on their duties. You cannot differentiate an airport from a State Bus S...tand in some cities. Due to the surge in passengers in recent years, the airline and govt authorities are also unable to serve the large crowds. Yet, to sum it all, they have to pull up their socks and give some worth back to the passenger who shell's out money for their existence. Regards, AmolRead More

Why I cancelled Tata Sky and got a refund
Tata Play

Your blog seems to target just Tata Sky, when all the things mentioned hold true for DishTV too. I'd even go further to say that the latter is a more worse entity to deal than the Tatas. ( people who had dealt with BOTH groups will surely agree. (Tata cos. are more ethics/respose oriented)... If ...you can compare the regular Analog cable with the DTH reception and features, then it needs no further justification from your side.... u just aren't equipped.(or... check them on a good TV) I've been using TataSky for over 4 months, there was really a Technically-Sound installation, a dependable- Thomson hardware box, a sturdy remote, good software & quality of reception ..... cost is no matter for such cool reception quality Helpdesk is quite responsive & helpful than most Indian corporates have . My personal impression of Tata Sky has been very excellent. I would still recommend..... If u havent purchased any other DTH, go for TataSky, the deal would be much better than any DTH service Read More
