  • APKGK : Hasna Zaroori hai in this Love Story of Mr. President
    Forget unstoppable media frenzy with the stories of powerful Presidents and details of the secret behind the physical beauty of the few of the first ladies, APKGK is far more interesting story of a far more interesting President and only woman (apart from his mother) in his life, Jenni, his love interest. What if he is the President of “Happy Club”? Unlike political...

  • London Dreams – Is the Better of Bollywood Reality
    At the fag-end of a season of big-budget films (Aladin, Main aur Mrs Khanna, Blue, Acid Factory, Wanted) where you wondered at the smugness with which filmmakers insult the intelligent audience comes Vipul Shah’s London Dreams. I want to argue that London Dreams is different in that it tells an average story with a conviction and engages its “target” audience...

  • London Dreams movie review : Rock Yawn!
    London Dreams (limited) Cast: Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, Asin, Om Puri, Kababs Direction: Vipul Amrutlal Shah Rating: Two stars (okay so it has a huge budget, technical varnish, A-list stars..so what?) Whip whip hurray. To keep himself away from carnal pleasures – read Miss Asin – the wannasing, wannarock star snaps his belt off, and flagellates himself. Ouch,...

  • Wanted- Young Stars, Where are they?
    Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal in the blockbuster Magadheera[Note- By young star the reference here is to an actor in his 20’s and who has enough star power to carry off a film on his ‘young’ shoulders.] A short while ago when I was in Mumbai I was involved in a discussion with some friends which included a few PFC authors as well. All of a sudden the discussion...

  • Babagiri Delivered
    Let me get this out of the way. Wanted isn’t as good as Pokiri. Wanted could have been the best masala actioner of the last 2 decades if the love story was handled with a heart (The main reason Ghajini worked in its last half-hour); if there was some chemistry between Salman and Ayesha, if songs were cut on the editing table itself and alas if the punchlines could have...

  • Wanted: Radhe and Salman’s commitments
    Film presents Salman Khan in a role where he is at ease and where his working on his character looks visible. From a Character point of view Salman was at home. Very easily he takes off with the spirit of the Chabhee (keys) wala scene in the beginning and neither scene nor Salman’s overall performance in that scene look like a caricature of the similar scene performed...

  • Wanted – The Return of Machismo
    When we search the word ‘Hero’ in the dictionary, it says ‘a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities’. After watching Wanted one gets the same feeling. Wanted is all about Hero-ism. It brings back the days when Hindi cinema was about macho-ism. Where the hero would be so larger than life that nothing will happen...

  • The Return of the True single screen HERO
    Wanted may just be THE masala movie, the masses have been waiting for, THE movie which I’ve been waiting for, The movie I’ve been waiting to see with my fellow masses. As a dear friend would have put it, ‘In these times of pretentious mediocrity, Wanted may just bring a whiff of unpretentious kitsch, which could at least be reveled in with a guilty glee.’ ‘The...

Friendship is an integral part of our emotions and friends occupy an important part of our lives. In some cases friends often are given the same status as that of family members when it comes to certain crunch situations. For someone who has been brought up over...

  • Aamir Khan supersedes other super stars of commercial hindi cinema in 2008
    Ghazini has similarities with many films like Memento, Jhootha Kahin Ka and Pasand Apni Apni etc, but does it reduce the intensity of hard work Aamir Khan needed to put in the character, he has played? Had his job become easy because scenes or ideas have been taken from above mentioned films? Sholay is said to be inspired by many films (Hindi and Western) but does this...
