Blue
After watching Blue, there are quiet a few facets of the Hindi film industry which have come to the forefront now: Film Making Courses: So far there are quite a few institutes like FTII, Anupam Kher Prepares and Whistling Woods where one can learn film making. Now they all have stiff competition. Here come the Dhilin Mehta’s Uber-Cool Diploma School (DUDS). Dhilin Mehta...

Quick Gun Murugan: Not Bad I Say !
When Quick Gun Murugan first came on Channel [V] years back I thoroughly enjoyed it. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that someone would actually go ahead to do a full fledged spoof on the movie. And it’s only fitting that the makers of one of the best remix-spoof video, “Samne Who Kaun Aya”, Phat Phish Productions should be also producing the movie...

Sankat City: Money is Everything
According to Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret“, the Need of Money, is said to be the strongest attraction point in the Law of Attractions. When you have a strong urge to Need Money, it attracts an even stronger attraction of Needing More Money, thereby sparking off a huge chain reaction of an endless Need of Money. It is this Law of Needing more Money that...

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)
In the classic serial killer book, Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Hannibal Lector intones that a serial killer starts his killings essentially to get that thing which he covets the most. This simple and flawless logic is seen in the movie Perfume: A Story of a Murderer where we are witness to the genesis of a serial killer. One difference here is being that since we know his...

War Of The Worlds: Producers V/S The Multiplex Owners
From April 4th, the producers have threatened to stop screening their movies in the multiplexes if the multiplex owners don’t agree to have a fixed revenue sharing model of 50:50 for all the movies irrespective of the quality or the banner.

Movies to look forward for in 2009
2009 has started on a sluggish note as far as the Hindi film industry is concerned. After 2 months we have yet to come across a certified hit. The mega hyped up movie of January, Chandni Chowk to China failed like one of those spurious Chinese products and didn’t make an impact at the box office. Raaz2, Dev.D and to a certain extent Luck By Chance & Delhi 6...

Raaz 2: Movie Review
Making a successful horror movie’s a tricky task. People who like horror films have seen so many of them that it requires something really extraordinary to scare them. And the people who detest horror films because it scares them, (and hence are the target audience) mostly stay away. So always there has been an added attraction with the horror to lure the audience...

Hellboy II:The Golden Army

Exclusive: Interview with Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Last Saturday, after some relentless follow up, Sourav Bhuyan calls me up saying, “Dude we finally got the appointment with SEL!!” After that there was some hectic emailing of questions back n forth, with Honhaar Goonda doubling up as a moderator for the questions, and giving us some valuable interview tips. Most of the questions were formed by many of the...

Contract: A Must Watch…
Contract is a must watch to see how far has RGV fallen. RGV has always known to make movies based on reality. This time he has decided to an autobiographical touch to the movie. In Contract there’s an underworld Don called Goonga (Upyendra Limaye), who relentlessly makes plans after plans using someone else’s money and all the plans are termed super-flop by...

Baap Re Baap !!
‘Lendormin’, is one of the most commonly used drug for curing insomnia. Now, the makers of the drug have stiff competition. Our own Priyadarshan has come up with a movie guaranteed to put u to sleep. It’s pace is slower than a paint peeling off a dry wall. A 150 year old snail who’s suffering from Arthritis would walk much faster. It’s called...

But now a new division has crept into the ranks. People are now divided on whether Sarkar Raj will be the last torture to inflicted by RGV and others who think that RGV’s...

U Me Aur Hum
As the credits start to roll in with various romantic quotes in the background; you may be forgiven in thinking that Ajay Devgan’s directorial debut might be one of those romantic movies where the hero gets the heroine against all odds and settles down to a lived happily ever after scenario. But the movie turns out to be quite a serious movie which attempts to tackle...

Race | A pReview
Abbas-Mustan’s Race is scheduled to release this week. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Aksahye Khanna and Anil Kapoor. The film also has Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy to do the requisite dance numbers during fillers. As usual, this Abbas-Mustan flick is touted as a thriller. And as usual, ever since Ajnabee happened, I look at an Abbas-Mustan film with trepidation. In...
