Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam can best be described as an emotional drama which never fails to be a tear-jerker, regardless of how many times it has been watched before. With an exceptional music score by Ismail Darbar, the movie not only has a strong direction foundation, but also a very well-treated ...Read more

Blogging has become an important part of an average Indian's life. The idea of sharing your thoughts and experiences with people to whom they matter has made a lot of difference to the word 'expression'.
While many tools exist to make this dream a startling reality, the best yet (simplicity w...Read more

Bhavna,
I'd agree with Sumit when he says the music is average and typical. The entire album has only two hummable songs which too are forgettable.
As for the movie, reading your review coupled with others, I've made up my mind to definitely give it a skip. I am really not into another Raj-Priya... movie.
With a storyline as lame and characters as uninteresting - why even bother?
Thanks for the excellent recommendation!Read More

Thanks for saving me mega bucks - all the money that goes into the petrol and tickets and the snacks just to see a sad excuse for a hatke movie! Shahrukh looks mundane in the promo's itself, what to say of the movie. Rani's makeup has been way too overdone. I believe she looked much better in Saathi...ya with bare minimum face attire.
The good news for Dreamz Unlimited is that they've already recovered all the money since the overseas rights sold for 6 cr and music for 3.
Thanks again!Read More

truthseeker:: And my dear Anupam, thank you very much. Its members like you who support members like me - who attract little agreement and more discontentment ;)
Reeper:: Anything anti-this ad will be a genius in itself. Do see the link I referred (which I must admit, I did for you, since you d...on't seem to catch hold of these commercials), its got a details storyboard of the ad. Thanks a bunch for the support!Read More

Sid_down:: Yea sure, whatever...!
Kalil:: Thanks a tonne man!!
Blured:: thanks! Your words are real morale boosters..!
Spike:: Mayb...e you're right.. you make sense.. however, I just can't seem to convince myself that it could be even moderately okay... I guess I am too p*ssed to bend my mindframe.. Thanks for the nice words!
Lyla:: You're lucky :) Thanks!Read More

Dhaval:: Chalo maan liya, that besharam thing is moderately alright, but then dont you think they could've used much better concepts to bring that out? I think definitely, there is a vast space for improvement.. this is a very amateur form of advertising.
Sid_down:: I don't have a pre-conceived... bias, and I would've perhaps liked it if the concept would've been better, given the actor still didn't know how to act. However, since everything is coming in such a negative rush, I cant help but taste immense sourness. 'Chicks' is vulgar? 'Chaddi' isnt?
Whoa! Really!!Read More

Could you please do me the greatest favor of my life by telling me how does it even remotely 'makes sense'.
I still maintain, this is the most senseless and unproductive form of advertising ever...!

I honestly feel at loss of words to even go about defining my feelings towards the latest addition to Pepsi's long list of hopeless advertisements. However, its plain as hell now why Coke is genuinely preferred over Pepsi amongst the aerated drinks consumers.

Hi..!!
Its a very difficult decision for me to actually rate such an opinion because it comes from a very philosophical side of your self.
For me, gifts I would like to receive indicated material gifts you would in general like to receive.
A person like me can't manage to get you someone you lo...ve for your birthday or inner peace - if you know what I mean :)
Hence, I would skip the rating. Everything aside, excellent review!

Hi!
Why I gave you an R and not an HR, its 'coz although I have nothing against the review you have written, I strongly don't recommend the songs you've mentioned.
They're not really romantic enough 'love songs' and boy bands are not my type!
However, since you're new here, how can I even th...ink of being mean? :) A recommended therefore!
Looking fwd to great reviews,

As much as I can't stand Preity Zinta (for her absolute lack of ability to carry off any other role other than that of a spoilt brat), I loved your review. Excellently presented and no unwanted repetitions or comments. Although I don't wish to see Armaan, for the simple reason I can't think of seein...g much of Preity in any movie, I do think your review would be the best (without doubt) on the movie.
P.S. I haven't read other reviews, and don't feel the need to, now that I've come across an honest opinion like yours!Read More

Vivek,
Its time like these that i really wish Mouthshut had a 'very highly recommended' option.. your review is the best I could have imagined on a movie worst I could've imagined. Genuinely speaking, I couldn't go through the whole movie, so my heartfelt sympathies for the torcher you underwent ...all those hours!
Bomb of a review!
Keep the explosions coming..!Read More

Farrukh:: Khatta hai.. I will do a biography soon, what do you say? And lets make a bet, you'd be the only one interested ;) Aur haa.. you better get down... to some writing yourself..!!!
Karan:: Your review on the same has been a very good piece in itself. You have a talent you need to bring the best out of.. we people here are with you - anytime! Thanks for the kind words!Read More

Its so overwhelming when I get such support from everyone, especially after a long hibernation. Damn, I missed you guys!
Reeper:: You excel in everything I suggested. Honestly, you write with a passion unmatched by anyone around here. Of course, your formatting needs working, but hey, your use of... occassional bolds and italics makes it attractive ;) Thanks for the kind words - you seem to be very generous with them!
Suyog:: What good is a sense of humor if not put to good use? And what good is a community like Mouthshut if it can't put a smile on your face day after day after day! Your reviews of course boast of good sense and taste. Keep writing, and do keep reading!
Vivek:: You share your name with my latest crush (Oberoi guy!), so your comment really matters ;) Thanks for approving the sour taste!
Lyla:: I am bowing and am about to crack my back! Thanks for the appreciation!
Prince:: I never said I am not a good writer.. to let u in on a secret, I think I write well. Honestly. I love writing, thats been my sincere love since I was 7. I hope to continue till I am 70!
Spooks:: Thank you, oh scary one!
Davie:: Since the name's LimeIce and since these are my rules (which finally are accepted around here), I thought I'd just go with 'Nimbu maar ke'.. maybe not creative enough, but hey, no onez complaining!
Abhishek:: Don't make me a buddhi man! I am barely even 17!
Cpearl:: I hope I hear this more often - 'You go girl!'.. Your comment is a real morale booster - thank you!!
Premjit:: Thank God people like Shakespeare ain't around anymore, or who would appreciate lil ol' me? :) Thanks for your heartwarming words!

Three Cheers for a long detailed and a very passionate review on the movie. Almost as if you're discussing something that frames your life ;)
I did see The Matrix, and 'did not' like it. (Am I in for trouble?). So I'd gladly skip the Reloaded bit.
Another confession, now that I'm at it, I coul...dn't even go through your entire review. I sorta drowsed off...
But leaving aside my silly self, great revu Avi!

Although I liked your review more than the rating, but the very fact that it lies under a wrong category, being more of a particular camera oriented rather than a general advice on digicams, I would have to rate it SR.
Keep Writing..!
