Decent Service Snooty Britishers

I recently traveled to Newark from Bombay via Heathrow London. At the Bombay airport, Virgin had their home-grown profilers(have we been watching Law and Order too much these days). This lady tried to grill me as if she knew a lot of things about US job market. No one India pronounces "Newark...Read more

hint that other reviewers get paid to convince movie-goers not to watch a particular movie :-) Does it mean you get paid to write reviews ? :-)

Don't waste your money on this movie

This is a very good example of how movie directors fall in trap of the successes of their own formula. Madhur Bhandarkar uses senior actors from Marathi theatre, sprinkling of sex, a couple of side-line characters who keep audiences entertained by giving "gyan" on corporate life. This movie clea...Read more
