Ittefaq - movie review
Brilliant performances from Akshaye Khanna and Sidharth Malhotra are the mainstay of this murder-mystery suspense thriller that keeps you engrossed throughout the movie culminating into an unpredictable end. Ittefaq movie review... Directed by Abhay Chopra, it is based on and inspired on his grandfather B R Chopra's Ittefaq (1969) which was a Rajesh Khanna-Nanda starrer with a contemperory adaptation and a complete change in the climax from the original film. The film does not have any songs which lends seriousness to the high-profile double murder investigation lead by the no-nonsense Police Officer Dev (Akshaye Khanna). It begins on a rainy night where a Noted novelist and a NRI Vikram Sethi (Sidharth Malhotra) has just launched his new book and returns to his hotel only to find his wife murdered and lying still on the floors.

Thodi Thodi Si Manmaaniyan, movie review

Youth, music competition, rock band, street plays and the inner desire of today's youth to bring a change in the society. This sums up the gist of this breezy youthful drama.

One cannot tag it as a romantic drama as the director has skillfully and very realistically displayed the growing bond between Siddharth and Neha, which is usually rare in the present Genre of Bollywood flicks.

There is nothing over the top nor any larger than life characters. Just a simple story of Siddharth (Arsh Sehrawat), a young boy who is brought up by his single mother with dreams of settling abroad.

Like any other youth of his age, he is following the herd mentality of going abroad for further studies after his graduation in India. When will our Indians wake up and realise that we have best of the educational i ....

They get married and life is full of roses, till one unfortunate day when a local goon and his friend misbehave with this made-for-each-other couple. This kickstarts the beginning of this happy couple's woes.

One noteworthy instance in the film is right in the beginning where the couple while in their dating stage visit a mall and get separated. ....
