A 42 year old moonlighting as a 24 year old handsome dude. I M 24 movie review... Saying the truth was always difficult, and lying, they say, is much simpler. Shubendu (Rajat Kapoor) lives by the tougher option. But when this honest, 42 year old balding writer falls in love with a 22 year old beauty queen, he is tempted to lie. It is a tough life for this failed writer for lying about his age. Conversely it is as smooth as butter for his roommate Gagan (Ranvir Shorey) to lie and weave a web of stories around that lie. Gagan is a struggling actor and talks big, most of the times he is a compulsive liar. Shubhendu meets an aspiring beauty contestant ‘Pageant Queen – Kanak’ (Manjari Fadnis) through an online chat-room. She is 22 and so he mentions his age as a 24-year-old handsome dude writing stories for films for the top production houses in Bollywood. How can the ro ....

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 ....

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi is 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. Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi is about Farhad Pastakia (Boman Irani), a 45-year-old Parsi bachelor who is a salesman in a lingerie shop. Farhad h ....

Overtime -  ilm 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 a ....
