Muskurake Dekh Zara – movie review

Muskurake Dekh Zara is a story of a young 'boy man' named Vivek. It's a story of simple emotions & disappointments of love and life. Muskurake Dekh Zara movie review... Vivek (Gashmeer Mahajani) has an 'upright' attitude, and ability to put people in their place and add lightness into moody and mundane situations. He does this not only when he interacts with his life's love Preeti (Twinkle Patel) but also when he encounters and jests with the simple, funny and harmless folks - like the eccentric live in DLT (Duniya Lal Tripati), the 'badnaseeb' hotel manager Khaatkar, the curious curio shop owner Elton, the heroine's eternally inebriated Chaacha who feels that one's 'spirit' can be derived only from downing spirits. The film's lighter moments beautifully intersperse with the hero's portrayal of a character of depth. Vivek has his own unique yet simple way of looking at life. ....

Maruti Mera Dosst – movie review

After the huge success of Hanuman, another film on Lord Hanuman is released - Maruti Mera Dosst which could have continued the trend of Hanumanji’s popularity. However this film targeted supposedly for the kids has been given a U/A Certificate. Not surprising, since the evil characters in this film have been given powerful roles and appear too scary. Maruti Mera Dosst is about Lord Hanuman and there are real life characters, witches and innocent little children. Two kids essaying central roles in this film which merges real characters with animation. It has some spectacular visual effects and computer graphics, but it just falls short of being impressive. Rameshwari (Ritika Shrivastava) is an innocent eight year old girl who lost her mother at birth is brought up by doting albeit naive father Kunwar Raghvendra Singh (Chandrachur Singh).

The film marks Kumble's big screen debut alongside commentator Charu Sharma, who makes a special appearance. Meerabai Not Out review... Meera Achrekar, a mathematics teacher at Vishwaprem Vidyalaya, has been happy and single for quite a while now.

The meticulous number cruncher is, despite not being the classic eye-candy-teenage- fantasy- fodder, a huge hit in class. And that's because Meera, unlike most teachers at her school, is more fanatical about her religion - cricket, than even the school cricket captain! Living with her family in their small home in a Mumbai chawl, Meera was init ....
