Neeyat film review
Neeyat opens with an extremely impressive and refreshing visuals of chilled crispiness of Scottish woods, grandeur of a well maintained vast estate house while introducing the characters. Aashish Kapoor (Ram Kapoor) has invited his close friends and family for celebrating his birthday in a low key private gathering (unlike the grand birthday parties of past) in his castle in Scotland. In the short list of about a dozen invitees, probably less, this billionaire has invited his ex-flame, his tarot card reader cum guide, his close Doctor friend and his wife who was close to him in the days gone by. Till the reception of guests and the display of Scottish landscape, Neeyat keeps you engrossed in the hope of experiencing something awesome like Agatha Christie mysteries that are usually unfolded on a grand scale. As the story proceeds, you see that the service staff of the castle has bee ....

Naughty Gang movie review
Writer-Director Pankaj Kr Virat's NAUGHTY GANG is the story of a group of young boys who want easy money and quick success, no matter even if they tread the wrong path to achieve it. Naughty Gang movie review... Naughty Gang is humourous in parts, while the rest of the film seems to be a confusing journey with quite a few moments making you itch for a loo break. The film begins with Ballu shown as the pampered (by his mother) brat who is often scolded upon by his father to mend his ways even while the boy is studying in the school. Ballu is supported by his friends Raja and Harry while the girl Vidya has a soft corner for this naughty kid. This soft corner blossoms into love as they are shown grown ups later on. At one time, this gang of 3 boys are compelled to leave the village for their misdeeds which attracted ire of the Sarpanch and other villagers. One fine day, this trio l ....

Nakkash movie review
Varanasi (Benaras) is the backdrop of Nakkash which is actually an offbeat film that succeeds in conveying the writer-director's message that the supreme power, whether you call it as God or Allah; it doesn't differentiate between religions. There are dialogues such as Bhagwan is Allah's brother and the other one is that spoken by the protagonist - to have been born in the holy city of Varanasi is in itself a privilege. Thankfully, the director of Nakkash doesn't resort to depicting the gory violence between the two communities, yet the differences between them are honestly and subtly portrayed... unlike the political leaders of the Hindus and Muslims who play their cards subtly and wolfishly to keep the differences alive so as to keep their "dukaan jaari" (to fructifully carry on their respective business). Nakkash is the story of a handcraftsman who is a talented engraver spec ....

Na Jaane Kabse - movie review
Pammi Somal has written and directed the film Na Jaane Kabse which is as a family entertainer starring a newbie actor Garry Gill and vivacious Amrita Prakash. Amrita was seen as a child artist in Tum Bin, and more recently in Vivah. We have another typical Bollywood love story here.

But the fact is that the girl is from a rich family and her dad father owns a bigger resort, where the girl works in the library. The possessive and more than caring father has ensured that the daughter does not have to work outside her protective precinct. What happens when a jilted bridegroom hops into a girl's car and carts her off to his honeymoon resort? There is love, and of course, a whole load of dhamaka.

No smoking movie review
The movie begins with the hero K (John Abraham) having nightmares. He is a heavy smoker and an unapologetic one at that because he's a stubborn and obnoxious guy, who does exactly what he wants His disgruntled wife Anjali (Ayesha Takia) is fed up with his habit and is all set to leave him. The trouble begins and we have K, in his bathtub, having a surreal dream of being lost in Siberia without his cigarettes. No Smoking review read further... "What do you want for our anniversary?" asks the arrogant husband admiring himself smoking, while his wife looks though him and utters- "Divorce". Want a cure to divorce? The better quit smoking. The movie has parallels to "Kafka" and Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List". Hallucinogenic images are portrayed amidst a deluge of cryptic dialogues. The narrative plays a dismaying mind-game where the smoker-hero gets trapped in a sewage underbell ....

Now you See Me 2, movie review
'Now You See Me' is part of famous phrase used by Magicians " Now you see me, now you don't" which came from the various magic tricks that they performed in which they used to make things disappear in thin air including themselves. The title of the film was apt for the first installment of this franchise which was exciting, gripping and edge of the seat drama with the audience involved in what the magicians will do next. This second installment lacks style and substance but is drunk on technology, and fancy sleight of hand techniques of the four horsemen (there is one change the lady horseman of the previous movie is replaced by another by the name of Lula-Lizzy Caplan in fine form) who are trying to learn each others tricks, there is little magic. The movie starts with a background narrative by Morgan Freeman whose character Thaddeus Bradley was incarcerated in the end of the last ....
