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.

U me aur Hum movie review
Ajay Devgan makes an impressive debut as a Director with this touching tale of love. The film 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. U Me aur Hum begins with some forgetful moments, which occur often and then get finally diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. Quite ....

26th July at Barista movie review
26th July at Barista, 2005 As usual, the day started as any normal Mumbai monsoon day. Children enjoying the rain, and people traveling towards their office or other places unknown to what was in store for them. The usual grumbling going around that our Mumbai Municipal Corporation has done nothing to withstand heavy downpour if it occurs, etc. Barista is one of the coffee shops in Bandra, a suburb in Mumbai that's known for its cordial atmosphere and great coffee. Many of them had come to enjoy a cup of coffee and some who wanted to spend their time with friends on a pleasant rainy evening. 26th July at Barista, the movie is a salute to the spirit of Mumbai and World Humanity. The Natural catastrophe which destructed many lives of People and Property and laid the bare fact that nobody is above the nature. But the human spirit moves ahead to fight & make his & other live ....

Black & White, movie review
The master director Subhash Ghai is back not with a bang, but with a convincing restraint in his latest film Black and White. Pleasingly, even the leading actors, Anil Kapoor and newcomer Anurag Sinha have portrayed splendid restraint all thru Black and White, the film. The newcomer is given a few lines, while he emotes thru his facial expressions and dramatically intense eyes. Black and White read further...

Mithya, movie review
Mithya means a lie. Lies and everything else apart, it's an absolute entertainer. Rajat Kapoor has tried a never-before- tried treatment in this film and outcome is as unexpected as its meaning. He manages to weave together both the elements of comedy and a crime thriller and come up with a movie which surprises us by its sheer boldness. Mithya is filled with all the ingredients of a Bollywood hit movie - comedy, drama, action, romance, love, and finally, a good story of a guy who finds himself at the wrong place in the wrong time and how that changes his life. VK (Ranveer Shorey) is a struggling actor, like thousands of film aspirants who reach Bollywood, comes to Mumbai with endless big film dreams. But fate has something in store for him, for it makes him a pawn in a master game plan of the underworld, and then he unknowingly gets drawn into a whirlpool of events that will deter ....

Superstar, movie review
Kunal Khemu is the star in the film Superstar that is about an aspiring actor who wants to make it big in Bollywood. Not only a fine actor, he can actually carry a film on his shoulders. Superstar has the backdrop of Bollywood to showcase a story of look-alikes who by chance switch their fortunes in an industry where there is only one God: Money. Superstar, the film has him in a double role where one Kunal is the self-indulgent son of a producer (Darshan Jariwala) who pumps in all the money he has to create a superstar out of his son. The other Kunal is a wannabe actor, who drives his rickety motorbike from Borivili (a distant suburb in Mumbai) to Film City in search of a great role which will make him a mix of Amitabh, Shah Rukh and Salman. We have a doting mother (Reema Lagoo), an anxious father (Sharat Saxena) and a cute girlfriend (Tulip Joshi). The wild son seems to be a no ....

My name is Anthony Gonsalves, movie review
It is amazing that this very Bollywood film industry has produced the likes of Shatrughan Sinha, Mithun Chakraborty, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan who were just written off initially since they did not have chocolate looks, style nor any filmy godfather to give them a break.

Well, then this film is the story of an ordinary boy - Anthony Gonsalves (Nikhil Dwivedi) who has an extra ordinary dream - to become a film star.

SHOWBIZ, movie review
Exposes of ill doings of the media persons are still scarce in our movies. Maybe, the filmmakers feel condemning the press would invite bad reviews for the film. Mukesh Bhatt has taken a step in this direction with SHOWBIZ. Bollywood has shown politicians, cops and other professionals as villains, then why not journalists now? The Bhatt camp has dared to unmask a section of the media that indulges in foul play, exposing handful of unethical individuals in the media business. It's a directorial debut of choreographer Raju Khan and Tushar Jalota and Mrinalini Sharma. Rohan Arya (Tushar Jalota) a rising superstar seems to have it all. He has everything, anyone else would dream in life - a rising career, beautiful girlfriend and all other material things in life. Initially, not a favorite with the media, with success he's now a media darling, and then later on unfortunately becom ....

As the title itself suggests, Dus Kahaniyaan is an innovative concept where in a single film, there are 10 independent short stories. About 4 or 5 of them are notable from among the ten, which are summarized here: Matrimony ( Director: Sanjay Gupta) The Sarins (Arbaaz Khan and Mandira Bedi) are a happily married couple. On the pretext of meeting her ailing aunt every Thursday, Mandira has a dark secret, unknown to her husband that she has a lover - handsome hunk Sudhanshu Pandey. What is not know to her is that he too has a lover. The director somewhat establishes this as a story of betrayal and faith. For those who always reach late to see a movie, its okay to miss this one. Zahir (Director: Sanjay Gupta) Dia Mirza and Manoj Bajpai are a single man and a girl next door. Manoj has left his lucrative job to take out time for writing a book. Dia is a sweet girl meets Manoj in the e ....
