Jodhaa Akbar, movie review
Ashutosh Gowariker's film is a magnum opus though the only flaw being its 3 and half hours long! Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century epic romance story, the most ambitious hindi film with heavy doses of electrifying drama and wide canvas battle sequences. It's a dream all throughout whether it is large scale action sequences or the romance, and the beautiful landscapes of Rajasthan and even the torch and candle lit interiors of Agra fort. Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter's hand to Emperor Akbar. When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey - the journey of true love. From the battlefield where the young Jal ....

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, 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.

Bombay to Bangkok, movie review
Nagesh Kukunoor in his latest film Bombay to Bangkok portrays that love has no boundaries and even can surpass language barriers. It is a cute romantic story with its heart in the right place. It also has a subplot within the plot, which comes as a surprise towards the end. Flow and treatment in this film is same as Kukunoor's earlier films, eventhough the byline screams 'same-same, but different'! Bombay to Bangkok has simple narration is simple; and some moments between Shreyas Talpade and Lina Christianson are handled very romantically. It is typically Kukunoor's expert execution of the story makes a difference.
