Mithya – movie review

Mithya means a lie. Lies and everything else apart, it's an absolute entertainer. Rajat Kapoor has tried a never-before- tried treatment in this film and outcome is as unexpected as its meaning.

Mithya is filled with all the ingredients of a Bollywood hit movie - comedy, drama, action, romance, love, and finally, a good story of a guy who finds himself at the wrong place in the wrong time and how that changes his life.

Bombay to Bangkok – movie review

Nagesh Kukunoor in his latest film Bombay to Bangkok portrays that love has no boundaries and even can surpass language barriers. It is a cute romantic story with its heart in the right place. It also has a subplot within the plot, which comes as a surprise towards the end. Flow and treatment in this film is same as Kukunoor's earlier films, eventhough the byline screams 'same-same, but different'! Bombay to Bangkok has simple narration is simple; and some moments between Shreyas Talpade and Lina Christianson are handled very romantically. It is typically Kukunoor's expert execution of the story makes a difference.

Return of Hanuman – movie review

The film begins with a disclaimer stating that Return of Hanuman is not a sequel to any film made before. This animated film is superb and technically dazzling. The story begins with a vibrantly and remarkably picturised narrative about how Rahu and Ketu came into existence. Then it shows why man himself is the biggest evil or the impact of pollution leading to global crisis. There is a battle between Gods and the devils. Lord Hanuman requests Narad Muni to convince Lord Brahma to send him to earth. While Lord Brahma is most apprehensive, he eventually takes a softer line, but Lord Hanuman is made to sign a contract, which has several do's and don'ts Return of Hanuman, movie review... The focus shifts to a small village in present-day India. Our baby Hanuman is rechristened as Maruti, who is now a boy enough to get admitted in school as a mortal so that he can play football with th ....

Initially, not a favorite with the media, with success he's now a media darling, and then later on unfortunately becom ....
