    Chak De Sukhwinder
    In the supremely gifted world of playback singers, Sukhwinder Singh’s success remains a delightful mystery. He has always been someone who could deliver the high octane, rush of adrenalin numbers like his first major hit ‘Chaiya Chaiya’ (Dil Se). Yet in ‘Hauley Hauley’ (Rab ne bana di jodi) he holds himself back remarkably well (hear him end one of the stanzas...

    Discerning Few : Rafi Sings For Bachchan
    na fankaar tujh sa tere baad aya mohammed rafi tu bahut yaad aya - A song from movie Krodh Just the other day I was watching the song and something struck me. I felt that the song was ironical in so many ways. Although its a tribute to Rafi Saab, it was sung by Md.Aziz, a so-called Rafi clone, whose voice is such a far cry from the soothing and melodious voice of Rafi....

    Nau Do Gyarah and how to escape boredom
    Somewhere during Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt end up in an abandoned barn (or was it a garage), while escaping the clutches of the private jasoos duo of Rakesh Bedi and Virendra Saxena.

    Tere (Mere, Hamare) Ghar Ke Samne : Happy Diwali
    If Tere Ghar Ke Samne is not the best then it is easily among top five romantic comedies ever made in Hindi cinema. TGKS represents perfect blend of romance and comedy and neither comedy takes a shelter in buffoonery nor romance follows an exaggerated lane where overflow of tears, while showing tough conditions or a phase of separation, tries to exploit the emotions of...
