Mummy Punjabi - movie review
Mummy Punjabi is the 'New Age Mother India', with today's grandeur, intensity, humour & emotions.

Bodyguard - movie review
Bodyguard is a romantic action film, a remake of the 2010 Malayalam film of the same name. Salman Khan has an image of a star carrying a unique attitude and style of doing things, delivering punch lines and an overall aura around him which overshadows all the other characters in the movie. He continues to ride on this image after success of his previous films Wanted, Dabang and Ready. Bodyguard movie review... For the innocent and honest Lovely Singh (Salman Khan), nothing in the world matters more than hus duty as a bodyguard.

Stand By - movie review
Stand By is about football and the central plot is that we have an Indian coach who aspires to make his team an international standards. Even this film has differences with the Indian sporting body and an effort to keep it purely on merits of the footballers and get politics out of the game.

Chatur Singh Two Star - movie review
Chatur Singh Two Star is based on a novel, titled Chalak Jasoos by M. Raza. The only admirable thing in this film Chatur Singh Two Star is the outstanding cinematography which captures the attractive, wonderful locales of Cape Town in South Africa. All characters try their best and end up indulging in buffoonery. The punches and jokes do not appeal at all. There is nothing like a story in this film. Just unsuccessful attempts to pack one joke after another. Chatur Singh 2 Star enacted by Sanjay Dutt is a police officer always ending up botching up cases and making a fool of himself. He is a disgrace to the Mumbai Police Department. Inspite of making a mess of almost every case handed to him, Chatur Singh has just been handed the biggest case in the department's history. This is a perfect chance for him to prove everyone why he is the best officer they have. A corrupt polit ....
