Bubble Gum - movie review
Bubble Gum is another refreshing blossoming teenage tale. It is set in the backdrop of the 80s in the city of Jamshedpur, India. A young teenager Vedant (Delzad) has a crush on Jenny. His parents do not appreciate this behavior, and this leads to changes in his relation with them. Bubble Gum movie review... It is set in those days when modes of communication were still evolving, maybe the World Wide Web wasn’t even launched in the US, and so the mobiles and the internet weren’t even thought of. There was a time when letters – the snail mail and Airmail letters, telegrams and the old telephone (usually owned by the privileged few) used to be the only means of communication. It was the era of typewriters (a machine to type official letters before computers were introduced). Parents Mukund and Sudha (Sachin Khedekar, Tanvi Azmi) get too engrossed with Vidur and leave a feeling o ....

Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap - movie review
The magic is still there, the appeal is still evident the moment he appears on the screen and his dialogues in that baritone voice. It is Amitabh Bachchan returning as the angry ‘young’ man. But Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap is full of flashy dresses, over the top acting in a film which leans on a thin storyline. Puri Jagannadh, the Telugu film director makes the 69-year-old Amitabh Bachchan enact the role of a defiant, flashy hit man in his angry young man of the 70s and 80 style. Dare not call him a ‘Buddah’, lest you face his anger. Single handedly he handles the baddies, but also has a soft side too. He gets the best lines to deliver which make the audience clap and cheer at several occasions. 'Vijju is a contract killer who returns to Mumbai after being in Paris. It will be his last assignment of his profession. He is flamboyant, arrogant and hits back to those who call h ....

The film revolves around gangs of Mumbai who have embraced pickpocketing as an art and a means of earning a livelihood.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc. is the story of a pawn and his calculated moves to reach the other end of the chessboard.
