  • Gulaal: Finding the Mole beneath the Mountain
    Gulaal starts with a rabble-rousing speech from Dukey Bana (Kay Kay Menon). Bana complains of treachery at the hands of the post-Independence Indian governments. The Rajput kings gave up their estates and royalties in support of a united India and in the process lost both power and wealth. And now the same political class that took away their powers is mismanaging the...

  • 13 B- Beware of the Television
    R.Madhavan is back & this time with a bilingual- 13 B in Hindi & Yavarum Nalam in Tamil. The movie also marks the return of Poonam Dhillon to the big screen after a long gap.

  • Delhi-6 – “Why and Why not”
    ( Spoiler alert- beware those who are yet to watch the movie) Initially I did not have any idea to review or write anything on Delhi-6. After all I had seen the movie on the day of release, found it to have some interesting moments, great music and excellent camera work- but that was all to it. Also with so many others writing about it I did not really feel I would write...

  • A Collection of Thoughts on Delhi-6
    (This post contains spoilers. You’ve been warned. Baaki aap ki marzi :-)) I normally stay far, far away from writing movie reviews. It just isn’t my forte. However, after seeing Delhi-6 on Saturday and then reading most of the reviews of Delhi-6 posted on the Internet, I feel compelled to write this post, since many of the reviews out there ignored a lot of...

  • Delhi 6 : kala bandar in colourful collage
    Delhi 6 Movie Review Finally…am relieved. Since the first promo came out, i was dying to watch the film.

  • Delhi 6 Music : Romance, Rahman & Gali-Muhalla
    This has to be most ‘instant’ AR Rahman album that I can think of. Rang de basanti was commercial no doubt and had its moments, but in that one also people would raise an odd frown or two, and go back to the tracks. Not the case here. Masakkali. Maula. Delhi 6. And I guess the trend will continue, what is the deal man! Make some tracks make some music that...

  • Gulaal Reprise
    I had just quit whatever I was doing till then and had taken a solemn oath of eternal poverty and struggle. Cinema…..Was writing for someone those days…..donno what happened to that script. We were having a narration…..half way thru we had a sutta brake. The person whom we were narrating was a reputed editor…..he mentioned “Gulaal ruk gayee…..this was Anurag’s...

  • Shaurya : A few idiotic men
    Perhaps it is the destiny of writer director Samaar Khan, to make a movie that by sheer coincidence turned out to be just like something called ‘A few good men’. Perhaps it was a mere coincidence that Samaar Khan, (who I am informed), is a former movie critic. Perhaps it is a mere coincidence that so far ALL movie reviewers trying their hand at film-making...
