This TOLATE is a must visit
Toilet - Ek Prem Katha

TOLATE is the way female protagonist funnily says the word in the movie. I like the way it sounded so I put it in the review :-)

This TOLATE is a must visit

How often do you find such movies made and presented with such sensitivity? Not often. Not in Bollywood, certainly. I had already made up my mind to watch this movie no matter what the Bollywood reviewers say. I knew it wouldn't garner the best of reviews because of the obvious bias in our media...Read more

Bollywood Masala packaged in English

So now Hollywood has found the formula to milk the Indian market. The formula= Songs+ Romance+ Action+ Indian Face(preferably a female). The movie was a horrible ride. I didn't even find respite in the action sequences that usually keep me glued till the end. The movie again'Save the World' t...Read more

Majestic falls

A natural wonder that leaves one awestruck. The falls are just unimaginably beautiful and majestic. Not just the falls but the ride is a treat too. The snake like Ghat roads are very well maintained but aren't lit up with street lights. Took us 2.5 hours as we lost our way from Tirupathi to t...Read more

Triumphant (Walking bare feet all the way)

The walk from Alipiri gate to temple(~12 km) tests every part of the body and mind. One may rethink about the decision to walk instead of a lovely bus ride till the temple gates with a special pass of 300/-, but its one journey to be lived, remembered, talked and cherished. The pathway is all pe...Read more

AINOL INDIA is unprofessional - Don't buy from it

I bought a Chinese tab from them that lost its battery within 3 months. I complained but never got a reply back. It is very unprofessional in its conduct and just provided me new numbers to dial.

Brilliant animation
Arjun The Warrior Prince

Vikky, thanks for your comment. The movie doesn't go the entire length of Mahabhaarat and hence leaves a lot for a sequel. Treat this one as a starter. In the end, Arjun concludes with this message to Duryodhan, who is defeated by Arjun while saving Virat. Arjun says (if I remember correctly and ...not exactly the words he speaks) - I am letting you go you bugger as this fight was to save Virat and our fight will soon happen. I know I didn't touch upon the movie a lot. Wanted the review to encourage more traffic into the picture halls. When I watched the hall was 2/3rds empty. The movie deserves some encouragement. What's ROD ??Read More

It's not difficult to make out what the movie is about and the movie does present the message clear and bold throughout the screen time. The dialogues are bold and sing out loud without shying away from the tabooed topic of sperm donation in India or should I say throughout the world. In fact, w...Read more

This movie is simply the best in the animation domain produced so far in Bollywood. The movie doesn't present all the parts of story that we know off Arjun and pandavas.

Has everything except absurdity. Has been advertised sparsely unlike most Bollywood dramas, but doesn't require much marketing as it will now be the talk of the town.

MISSION 4 times IMPOSSIBLE
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol Movie

Hi there !! yes, you are correct I began penning down with cynicism that started right from the moment I watched movie. Alright, I accept that I wrongly interpreted aNIL as a King (in his 3 minute salvating hannibal cameo in which his misery is finally put to an end with 'One tight slap' - tha...nk God), but don’t blame me as I was under an utter shocckk. India's and aNIL's involvement in the movie had been blown out of proportions during the movie promos. I (and most of us) was definitely disappointed to find the mystery unfold in India in such a manner.Read More
