    The Departed : The very first Review
    Holy Shit! Was browsing AICN and found that they have a “secret” review sent by a “secret” reader for Martin Scorcese’s much awaited – The Departed. For those who came in late, The Departed is adapted (officially no Bollywood Ctrl C/Ctrl V here) from the Hong Kong hit – Infernal Affairs, which was a fairly decent movie Rated B+...

    Honest movies that failed
    So KANK is a super duper hit! And so are Phir Hera Pheri (rip off of Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels), Krrish and a bunch of other crappy stuff! While the producers guild goes about tom-tomming the resurgence of movies, i wanted to talk about a bunch of films that – according to me – had soul! Not just lovely locales and big stars – backed by marketing...

    Sanjeev Kumar – the Gulzar Connection
    Sanjeev Kumars house was strictly vegetarian. So whenever SK visited Gulzar, SK would ask for one of his favorite foods – paaya to be made and thus he would satisfy his non-veggie palate. And there were strict instructions given to Gulzar to keep a bottle of Black Label at all times at his house. SK only drank Black Label and Gulzar would ensure that a bottle of...

    Hrishikesh Mukherjee… forever
    Movie fanatics have been orphaned today… The man, who’s stories many of us grew up listening to, has left us. Forever. Hrishikesh Mukherjee, our dear Hrishi-da is no more. I am shocked beyond words to say anything except put this news link from Rediff. (thanks VC, Sumeet, Punds) Oh what a sad sad sad day for Hindi Cinema. Here’s a trip down the nostalgic...

    Devrai (2005)
    I use to hate old Marathi movies because my mother won’t let me watch another channel during these movies. Yes! I am a maharahstrian. The older Marathi movies were mostly social drama set in rural Maharahsta. The late 80s and 90s show the emergence and dying of comedy movies. Laxmikant Berde, Ashok Sharaf were stars then. Baring a few hits, what came out was total crap....
