PK – Hindi Movie Review

Its OMG! Oh My God revisited. PK is a satire on "God and godmen" with an unique narration, superb performances from the pivotal characters, yet is a lengthy film which stretches on the same issue of having called a 'Wrong Number' while seeking the almighty. The Managers of God have been again exposed in this film where an alien (resembling human race) comes to earth on his mission to survey the life and times of the inhibitants of this planet. It is not a futuristic or a sci-fi film, PK deals about the ordeals of the alien man who is clean hearted, doesn't tell lies, doesn't hurt anybody, has the ability to grasp the language within few hours of just holding hands of a human. Like the data being transferred from one hard disk to another. This person has the ability to adapt easily to the new surroundings. It beigns with a space ship hovering around the desert of Rajasthan, it la ....

Purani Jeans – Film Review

Friendship is like a pair of old jeans - the older it gets, the better it becomes - this is the belief that Purani Jeans is based on. Purani Jeans centres around Siddarth Ray (Tanuj Virwani) who learns this belief as he journeys from New York back to his hometown Kasauli, a small hill station in India, after 12 long years. The main hook of the film is friendship. Those unforgettable memories of old friends – somewhat similar to Rock On and Dil Chahta Hai, yet it appears fresh, courtesy the young, bubbly cast of this friendship flick. The film unfolds as a coming-of-age drama about a summer when Sidharth, his best friend Sam (Aditya Seal) and their gang of friends experience the agony & ecstasy of growing up, forming bonds of friendship, trust, jealousy, joy, envy & love. Though a bit unrealistic that the guy comes after 12 years from the US, to wind up everything in hi ....

Prem Mayee – movie review

Prem Mayee attempts to explore the emotional labyrinth of a woman navigating love, marriage, and self-worth. Payal (Shreya Narayan) is intelligent, ambitious, and seemingly in control of her life—until marriage to Arun (Chandrachur Singh) unravels her confidence. The film delves into themes of identity, emotional isolation, and the societal expectations placed on women, especially within the framework of marriage. The film conveys that love brings out the BEST and the WORST in us. Its about love that can give abundance of joy, reassurance, positivity, success, fulfilment and yet it can go on to cause unhappiness, hurt, negativity. Prem Mayee further throws light on women's place in society, marriage, relationships and work-place. Shreya Narayan delivers a sincere performance as Payal, portraying vulnerability and inner conflict with grace. Unfortunately, her character lacks depth ....
