Dor - A Most Refreshing & Watchable Film
Dor

That was a very good review. Also, thanks for your comments on my review. Regarding the malayalam movie, it is 'Perumazhaikaalam', and I read in one of 'Nagesh Kukunoor's' interviews, that he had bought over the story rights from the makers of the malayalam movie. As both the movies are based on a t...rue incident, I guess Nagesh chose not to give credit or acknowledgements to the Malayalam movie.Read More

Dor - A well made, well acted movie

There is a basic level of quality that can be associated with NageshKukunoor’s movies, and I watch his movies for the same reason. Dor,does more, trying to say more than one thing as the story evolves. Itis the story of Meera and her loss, Zeenat and her struggle to avoid aloss, and also a story...Read more

Collateral - pledge ur money on it
Collateral Movie

that a review is not completely read, or properly read. Mr. Thakurman, thanks for going through my review. If you feel that collateral is a bad movie, it is your opinion, but my reivew does not read 'Tom Cruise' the actor. I have reviewed a movie, because of what I consider is its merits, or demerit...s. Not because Tom Cruise starred in it. And what makes you think that I have not seen the movies that you have mentioned? I hope the review is read as an opinion of the individual who has written it, and not as a reflection of what the reader thinks someone should write.Read More

Collateral - pledge ur money on it

I had recently seen the movie "Heat" directed by Micheal Mann, and I liked the movie. So, I was checking out movies by the same director, and found "Collateral" about which I had read a long back, and was remembering the movie as the one that got an academy award nomination for Jamie Foxx. Ag...Read more

Gangster- Good....but,

I normally keep off Hindi movies these days, and read occasional reviews of movies, just in case not to miss a good one. So, when I read about ''Gangster'', I was surprised with a lot of positive reviews, and went on to see the movie. I went in with a lot of expectations, and I should say the...Read more

A comedy with a difference

James is an in your face kind of comedy, that needs a special sense of appreciation. It demands very little of the viewer, in fact it demands us to leave our brains out. You might ask me what is so special about this as we have so many movies that defy logic and common sense. By asking such a...Read more

Of Principles and freedom

Fountain head, written by Ayn Rand, the advocate of Objectivism is a very interesting book, to say the least. It should have stirred up a lot of souls when it was first published, and continues to do so. The way the protagonist carries himself through out the story, without any compromise, is...Read more
