    NAGINA (1986) : Not just another Ichhadhari-Nag(in) flick
    After roaming in a world of Vampires, Werewolves and Werebeasts etc. in Hollywood movies for a long time, the need was to get acquainted with some supernatural beings in Hindi movies. These don’t include those Junoon types, directed (ghost?) by Mahesh Bhatt and clearly lifted from Hollywood movies like ‘The Wolf’ and ‘An American Werewolf in London’. In this...

    Rishi Kapoor : Mein ab bachcha nahin hoon!
    First part of Mera Naam Joker was heavily dependent on the acting skills of a young boy Rishi Kapoor, who had made his debut with this film. There is a scene in MNJ and any teenager actor has yet to supersede or even match the performance given by Rishi Kapoor in that particular scene. Raju, a young boy is confessing before the statue of Jesus in a church and his teacher,...

    Priyadarshan- The Run Machine of Indian Cinema
    So far this year we have seen the frenzy generated by SDM and the success of movies like Dev D and Raaz- the Mystery Continues. And of late we have been hearing a lot about the ongoing strike in Bollywood. But there was also one landmark that occured in the 1st Qr of 2009, something which did not really get so much of attention. This landmark was achieved on 13th February...

    ShahRukh Khan As Mogambo In Mr.India 2?
    Based on web rumors (I am fed up of reading all football rumors! So decided to read filmi rumors), apparently, ShahRukh Khan will be playing Mogambo in Mr. India 2? Really? I cannot see that happening. ShahRukh Khan doesn’t have a personality of Mogambo. Yes, ShahRukh Khan has done a couple of villain roles in his career, but Mogambo role is out of his depth....

    Ardha Satya : Amrish Puri, a policeman 24X7
    It will not be suffice to say that Amrish Puri plays only a callous father of Anant Velankar (Om Puri) in the film, Ardha Satya or the film shows him as a cruel father only. It will not do a proper justice to this interesting character. Things are not so simple and straight with this character that we may define his character as a harsh father of AV. Its not possible for...

    On-Screen Dads
    As always, June features Father’s Day—while you are busy honoring and paying tribute to your daddy dearest, let’s also take a quick look at some of the top Bollywood actors who have portrayed the role of a father on-screen (list in no particular order, and, no, this list is NOT comprehensive). 1.

    “Professor, it really is a Dead End!”
    Well I hope so!! LaBeouf’s rather innocuous line in the movie, appears significantly prophetic in the end. SPOILER ALERT!!! Unless you are in some weird parallel universe with no media or internet, you already know – the whip cracking archaeologist is back! And the premise is we are supposed to be happy and lap it all up. I was all for it, lapping up the whole...

    Nishant : Vijay Tendulkar’s illustrious entry in to hindi cinema!
    Great, powerful and impressive writers possess one thing for sure and that is the art to present stories in their own words/ways/manners and though it’s very much possible that they are taking inspirations from mythology or stories, already told in the past, but they weave the plot in such a way that their stories remain successful in presenting issues prevalent...

    NAYAK (2001)- SHANKAR AT HIS BEST
    NAYAK (2001)- SHANKAR AT HIS BEST I like larger than life movies. I love movie with all commercial masala in it. But condition is that it should be well balanced. It should have fast pace, powerful dialogues, performances and excellent technique. Nayak-The Real Hero fulfills all those expectations. It is intense, emotional as well as humorous and fast paced. Shankar has...

    REMEMBERING… AMRISH PURI
    REMEMBERING… AMRISH PURI It was one sentence in the post of George Thomas on Dhaal “It is with Pilot Baba that this film strikes gold” made me desperate to think and write about Amrish Puri. Very few actors have that capability that when they come on screen, then concentration of audience immediately shift to them. You forget the opposite actor; your eyes ignore...

Released lots of Adrenalin in your body?….. Perhaps after watching A RAJKUMAR SANTOSHI MOVIE. There is lots of energy and dhaka dhak high speed involved in his films that you...
