Dostana – Debate
Last week’s release Dostana has been well received by both, the masses and the critics.The movie is far from being great cinema, but yes it is hilarious at times and overall it is fun.I was in complete splits on the gabbar singh Joke and couple of more jokes.I don’t have any problems with it getting good reviews and three and four stars, but what pisses me...

Checkmate : Finally a thriller that thrills
Murphy’s law (From Wiki): “If there’s more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way.” “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong” . Murphy’s law , this is what one of the protagonist narrates at the very beginning...

Endings ….that stayed with me
The most important part of a movie is its end…its climax…..even a dragging dud movie but with a superb climax can make it worth a watch ……..then there are movies which are exactly opposite to this….how many times have we come out of the theater thinking about how good the opportunity was, but was all ruined in the end ……most of the bollywood movies these...

Revisiting “The Matrix”
This is one of the few films which has an amazing repeat value. Everyone who has seen matrix will agree with me that it has much more to offer than just sci-fi aspect. Every watch of matrix makes your mind think and ponder and to chew on. It's a common argument that there was no need for second (reloaded) and third part (revolutions) of matrix. But I wonder, with...

Race …Raja Sen and more
It’s the first big hit of 2008 and the trend continues …heyy babyy ….welcome and now Race …..it’s one of the most amateur effort seen in recent times ……One can tolerate Heyy baby or a welcome ….. they don’t claim to be serious whereas on the other hand we have Race,which is heavily promoted as a thriller and what it turns out to be is laughable ….the...

Scare me…. please.
I have always been a huge fan of horror flicks. I still remember as child I used to watch the zee horror show.The first few episodes were quite good, infact I remember a episode called “saaya” in which the ghost of rapist named vikranta was shown……i was so scared that vikranta haunted me for almost a week then. Later on, that show became more of a comedy...

Jodha Akbar – Loads of passion but Where is the content ???
Note: A) Contains Spoilers. B)These are my random thoughts after watching the movie . C)There are many good points about the movie,but i am not going to stress more about those things since many others have already written about it. D) I totally agree that it takes lots of courage and passion for making a epic movie and Ashutosh Gowariker should take a bow for attempting...

Serial Killings …Scene in India
Serial killings …it’s one of the most over used plot by Hollywood over the years and even successfully. IMO one of the best movie on a serial killer is seven starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman …directed by David Fincher.What marks the movie above the rest, is its jaw dropping climax……Kevin spacey does a splendid job in a cameo role. The most recent movie based...
