Pranali - movie review
Pranali - The Tradition is an issue based film. A little over an hour in duration, the debutante director Hirdesh Kamble's film talks about the Devdasi system which is still prevalent in certain parts of India. Definitely, a debatable topic here, which suggests the idea of giving legal sanction to such women who are practicing this age-old tradition in the name of God. The producer Nikhil Mathur claims that the centuries old Indian tradition of Devdasis exists even today in certain parts of India. After visiting several places in India where this tradition exists even today, he decided to make a film on this issue.

Mr White Mr Black
Three cool women led by the go-getter Sandhya Mridul, Australian beauty Tania Zaetta and Miss Thailand Kamala Ning, highjack a truck which carries some diamonds and succeed in carrying off a complex diamond heist, in the process they kill the guards and the police escort. A well done action sequence in Mr White Mr Black, though appear to be "inspired" by the stunts of Matrix. This is the opening sequence in the film and the most impressive too.

Anamika, movie review
Inspired from Daphne du Maurier's novel, Rebecca, which was brilliantly tailored into a Oscar-winning mystery film by Alfred Hitchcock, Anamika the film needs to be lauded for the attempt by the director Anant Mahadevan.

Anamika. the film is about Vikram Aditya Sisodia (Dino Morea) who owns Gajner Palace in Rajasthan comes down to Mumbai for an international convention with a proposal to convert his palace into a resort.

Tashan movie review
Right at the start, a blood red convertible Mercedes races merrily through Ladakh's dusty terrain. This is what Tashan is about - The car swivels so does the radio nervously shuffle between AC/DC's Highway to Hell and Mukesh's rendition of Kabhi Kabhie. Huge canvas, beautiful landscape and then the car loses it control, breaks thru and goes down a lake…. Very impressive till now and one would expect that it will be the most thrilling 2 and half hours in the recent times of mediocre bollywood films. But it was disappointing. Debutant director Vijay Krishna Acharya is brilliant in a few scenes, has been supported by absolutely unbelievable stunts by Akshay Kumar and some truly exotic locales, but through the remaining parts of Tashan, it appears that Yash Raj Banner is experimenting with the Indian audience. They have done a quality job in the promos of this movie, so as in the ini ....

Sirf, movie review
Like a lone highway at night, in life, we never know what awaits us next. Yet we keep living in the hope of a better tomorrow. Sirf, movie review... We base all our happiness on one thing that is missing in our life, which we see in other's lives. We feel that the possession of this one missing thing would mean the end of all our problems. We'll never know if this missing thing lives up to our expectations. But one thing is for sure. In pursuit of this "one" missing thins, we often go to any extent to achieve it, thus complicating what could be a simple and blissful life.

U me aur Hum movie review
Ajay Devgan makes an impressive debut as a Director with this touching tale of love. The film U Me aur Hum is based on most profound of human emotions in a story that is both tender and extremely moving. The film sets in a bizarre ambience for a charming journey right from the opening credits which are imaginatively designed inscribed with worldly love definitions. Ajay initiates his love story on a cruise-liner with his narrative which literally takes over to narrate a compelling story in the flashback mode. Ajay is a happy-go-lucky, fun loving man, till he comes across Pia and falls head over heels in love. She does not immediately reciprocate, although later on she falls for his charm. They get married and lead a happy life, but destiny has something else for them.
