Dashavtar – movie review

Dashavtar is a Tamil film which is dubbed in Hindi and released all over India. Its basic premise is Lord Vishnu's 10 different avatars (10 appearances of the lord in different roles). The film is set on a grand scale, and it traverses from 1000 years back till today. It is due to tremendous efforts of the versatile Kamala Haasan who transforms into 10 utterly different characters much to our amazement. Dashavtar begins from the 12th century Chola kingdom when there is a serious conflict between the Shiva devotees and those of Vishnu. The King a non believer of Lord Vishnu orders to dispose a large idol of Vishnu from a temple in ocean. However, Rangaraja Nambi (Kamal Haasan), a Lord Vishnu follower, opposes the royal order, despite pleas from his wife, Kothai Radha, (Asin Thottumkal) and their son.

Dhoondte Reh Jaoge – movie review

‘The concept is simple, brilliant, failsafe, unique and guaranteed to work,’ says Anand Pawar (Kunal Kemmu) an honest Charted Accountant but looser in life, to Raj Chopra (Paresh Rawal), a veteran film Producer with no money, heavily in debt as all his previous films have been flops in the film Dhoondte Reh Jaoge. Anand and Raj team up and hatch a plan to raise money to produce a feature film and then actually make it for a pittance. They plot to make it so badly that audiences will reject it on the first day of its release, which would give them a foolproof chance to decamp with the remaining invested funds. All they need to do is raise 100 Crore from various financers and produce the film in 5 Crore. They would then make a film that will never work, a film that will be hooted out on the first day itself and run away with 95 Crore. They want to become instant millionaires i ....

Dev D – movie review

Dev D is a modern-day interpretation of the classic novel "Devdas" by Sarat Chandra. Dev, Paro and Chanda of Dev D reflect the sensibilities, conflicts, aggression, independence, free thought, exuberance and recklessness of the youth of today. A generation that is jammed between eastern roots and western sensibilities. Director Aunrag Kashyap has shown the lead character Devdas as a spoilt, obsessive, addictive and a hypocritical sensualist, who is self destructive without knowing he is destroying himself. Dev D movie review... Dev D is set in the rustic and colourful Punjab and also explores the dingy, morbid, dark underbelly of Delhi. From sprawling mustard fields to a riot of neon. It is written and directed by Anurag Kashyap and produced by UTV Spotboy. Son of a rich Punjabi Businessman, Dev (Abhay Deol) and Paro (Mahi Gill) are childhood sweethearts. But Dev, being an insec ....

Dostana – movie review

Its all happening in the Beach Party Capitol of the world... Miami is the setting for Dostana - serving a cocktail of all ingredients to do with friendship, fun frolic and that thing called Love... but with a slight twist – there’s a small cause of pretence to be Gay! Sameer (Abhishek Bachchan) in his early thirties was born and raised in London. He works as a male nurse at St. Steve's hospital. A goofy kind of guy, who yet has the ability to charm his way into anybody's life. Sameer is the man with the plan. Plans that he seldom thinks through its consequences. Kunal (John Abraham) is a guy in his early thirties. Tall, suave, confident and good looking who has this brooding quality about him that makes girls swoon over him, which he plays to his full advantage. He's a fashion photographer who is pretty straight edged, responsible and an organized man who has his life in order ....

Dasvidaniya – movie review

Dasvidaniya is a superb story about the realization through the eyes of a dying man. It is a bittersweet comedy about Amar Kaul who is diagnosed with cancer and how he spends the last three months of his life. The film flows through to your heart effortlessly which leaves you with a lump in the throat at times or giggling away at the jokes it throws at you. This film will also make you identify and even fall in love with the simpleton 'loser'. Shy and quiet Amar Kaul lived a mundane run of the mill life - like millions of others.
