Great enough to be a Hollywood movie??
Vettayaadu Vilayaadu Movie

I am a die hard fan of Kamal. I even tried to enjoy Alavandhaan and Abhay. Saw it in both in Hindi and in Tamil. I am surprised that this one, VV, is a 'hit' in the box office in TamilNadu. It just goes on to show the quality of the rest of the other crappy movies in the state. I saw none of K...amal's versatility in this movie. Anyone could have performed this role. My 2 paise: Hollywood? forget it. It is a wonder that this movie is a hit in the TN state!Read More

Bloopers and an overall summary

First, some bloopers: When our hero goes to New York and sees the dead bodies of his friends in the morgue, when they open the body bag that contains the woman, you can see her blinking her eyes quickly! When the hero is chasing one of the villains who is on his motorbike, the hero, a note...Read more

Disneyland Paris: A poor man's DisneyLand

Firstly, I would like to add that we had visited Disneyland in Anaheim, near L.A. in California. My wife and son had certain basic expectations. However, I warned them not to expect the same quality as we were going to the one in France. I should have bought a lottery ticket at the same time: I ...Read more

Music Review of Phir Hera Pheri

Phir Hera Pheri (PHH) is yet another album by Himesh Reshammiya. Personally , I liked his other albums such as 36 Chinatown. PHH no way lives up to what I personally expect from a Himesh Reshammiya composition. The only two tracks that I could like somewhat were Mujhko Yaad Sataye Teri and Ae...Read more

Yet Another Masalaa Movie. If you like masaala, see it. I saw the reviews here, 4 of them, all were somewhat negative. As I am a hardcore Sunny Deol fan, I decided to see it with an open mind, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The story is nothing spectacular, but it is interesting. The goofs...Read more

Movie Review Of Hawa
Hawa

The ghost came from medeival days, centuries back, and can easily drive cars!

Reviewed Hawa

Why Hawa is a flop?

Summary: Lightning strikes the ground where an ancient medeival burial spot (where criminals were stoned to death and/or buried alive), and an evil spirit is released which rapes Tabu a couple of times (disgusting scenes!), which torments her etc. And in the end, our desi Lara Croft banishes ...Read more

Koi hai... who liked it? who will see it again?

When the movie was released in the theatres, the director was asking... Koi Hai..? ...who liked this movie? ...who saw it fully? ...who will dare to see it again? It is a shame and scam in the name of any kind of a thriller or horror movie... None of the actors have really acted. ...Read more

What is Schizophrenia?
Knowing More About Diseases / Illness

One out of every 100 of our youth suffer from some form of Schizophernia or the other. My only advise is if you suspect a friend or a relative suffering from this, get him to a professional doctor. It can be treated: if it is discovered in time. And yes, it is like a headache or a stomach ac...he - it can be cured by medecins, but only if it is treated! Read More

A must for Masaala lovers

This movie is Paki bashing, but with style. The Paki bashing is now restricted to only those who promote terrorism (ex. some persons in the ISI, in the Pakistani Army, etc.) If you expect a good storyline, forget it. The story, on the whole, is average. The acting, the special effects, the di...Read more

When one sees a nice fireworks show, that is impressive in the beginning, it is normal to expect a grand finalé. Well, that precisely describes Humraaz. There are many Bollywood movies where stories start with a bang and, sadly, it is at the end that the momentum is somewhere lost. Well,...Read more
