After his astonishing performance in the super duper hit Rowdy Rathore, released a few months back, Akshay Kumar disappoints in this film.

Joker - movie review...

No wonder, he is nowhere to be seen in almost all the events promoting this film. This is Shirish Kunder’s second directorial venture after his moderately successful film Tees Maar Khan. Supposed to be India's first ever extra-terrestrial drama-comedy – Joker, the only positive substance in Joker is that it does not include any double meaning jokes or for that matter anything which you cannot watch with your family and kids around. Ever wondered if aliens were to visit a village that is not on the map of our country, what hell would break loose?! Agasthya’s village Paglapur, doesn’t appear in the maps of the three states that surround it and nor does any one want to call it their own. During the C ....

A love story of a middle aged couple. Directed by Bela Sehgal (Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s sister) is different from the Shirin Farhad tales we have heard of. It isn’t a love story about teeny boppers or the handsome guy and a beautiful lady. This one is about the love story of a man and woman who appear to be in their forties. A new trend is witnessed in bollywood. If a film is an action oriented – it has to be a Sikh or a Punjabi family background. And the safest bet now is even if there is an undercurrent of humour although it is a love story; it has to be about Parsis. Thankfully, there is an attempt to portray the Parsi community, depicting realistic moments - just like they exist inIndia. The film is about Farhad Pastakia (Boman Irani), a 45-year-old Parsi bachelor who is a salesman in a lingerie shop. Farhad has never fallen in love or to put it plainly has never found love. ....

Film Review  -Ek Tha Tiger This time the tiger kicks and punches around the world and finally gets hooked in love to a spy across the border. This is Salman Khan as Ek Tha Tiger. In the dark world of intelligence and espionage... all information is guarded in the name of national security... But some stories escape the fiercely guarded classified files... stories that become legends. This is one such story... a story that shook the very foundation of this dark world. The film begins with amazing action sequence which is almost on par withHollywoodaction flicks. Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger (Salman Khan) resides in a middle class locality inDelhi. He is a rugged, handsome and mysterious bachelor about whom his neighbours knew nothing. That was because he wasIndia’s top spy, an officer with the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW),India’s external intelligence agency. ....

Film Review As is clear in the title, this movie is about second marriage. This is the story about two single parents and their grown up son and daughter respectively. The grown up son of a widower father (Suneel Narang played by Mohit Chauhan) finds a life partner for his daddy in a divorced mother (Shoma Upadhyay played by Charu Rohatgi).

Film Review   Overtime is about a struggling actress and how she succumbs to the cruelty. This topic has been taken up in bollywood films before. What needs to be seen is whether director Ajay Yadav handles this issue with a fresh approach. Unfortunately he does not. Ajay Yadav's Overtime  is the story of a young aspiring film actress in Mumbai Khushi (Swati Sharma), who is experiencing the most trying time of her life – the struggling phase. It is a bad world, and the hindi film industry is even awful. There are nothing like emotions or care for other human being. Especially that of the strugglers who live a dogs life. So it is the same cruel world and ruthless people around her. Now Khushi also has to survive and make ends meet. The simplest and effortless profession is that of flesh trade and she starts working as a high profile call girl. Khushi comes across corrupt pe ....

Gangs of Wasseypur II is action at its realistic brilliance, going forward with the end of its first part, where a man dies and revenge sought.

Sardar Khan’s son – Faisal Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) supposedly is living a life leading to nowhere. Smoking cigarettes and hookah and living in his own world, with no aim or aspiration in life. His father’s death is avenged by his brother Danish (Vineet Singh) and this kick starts the age old rivalry seemingly which appeared to be laid aside. This part is centered around Faisal Khan – his transition to a feared gangster, forming new allies, wooing his lady love and a typical cool style of eliminating his enemies.

Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai Movie Review: Romantic This film comes from the house of Shakti Samanta which made some memorable romantic films like Aradhana, Kati Patang, Amar Prem, Kashmir Ki Kali and others. In this jet age with fast-changing times, with plenty of realistic films released, we have this entertainer woven around old Indian traditional values. There is a dialogue in the film - 'Hansi Aati Hai Ki Aajkal Ke Zamaane Mein Aapke Jaise Log Bhi Hai' – says it all. It is the typical story of 70s and 80s where we have two warring families, with their kids falling in love and then the predicament that is bound to be there around. Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai is a dramatic love story of two young people who are caught between love for each other and the generations old enmity between their respective Rajput families. Heads of the unhappy families are played by Mohnish Behl and Mukesh Ti ....

Film Review - Jism 2 To love her … is to die Starring: Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda, Arunoday Singh Directed by Pooja Bhatt Shot entirely in Sri Lanka, Jism 2, the  thriller directed by Pooja Bhatt, which isn’t exactly a sequel to Jism (2003) starring Bipasha Basu and John Abraham. Jism 2, this one too is a thriller yet, falls short of expectations compared to its first part. Jism 2 begins with Sunny Leone lying on the beach thinking whether she did the right thing to fall in love and if it was really worth it? (The viewer would now think if it was worth watching it). Sunny Leone plays Izna, who is a porn star, living life carelessly and having fun all times. She comes across the handsome hunk Ayaan (Arunoday Singh) who later declares that he is an intelligence officer. Ayaan offers her a lucrative Ten Crore Rupees for an assignment which is suppose ....
