Strangers movie review
A truly slick Murder Mystrey that is this film Strangers. Two men, complete strangers to each other and absolutely opposite personalities, are travelling in a train's first class compartment in a train between Southampton and London. Sanjeev Rai (Kay Kay Menon), a successful businessman and Rahul (Jimmy Sheirgill), a struggling writer looking for a break in his career. Strangers opens with an extremely dramatic event that in actuality is only an incident, such as one of the protagonists of the film being arrested for a murder of another of the protagonists. Its opens with Rahul's arrest for -- in all probability at this point for murder of Priety (Nandana Sen). The film then kick-starts its proceedings with Sanjiy Rai and Rahul sharing a first class coupe and sharing stories. They try to know each other and there are visible efforts to entertain each other throughout the journey ....

Saawariya movie review
Saawariya means beloved. Only that lover who stands the test of time …who overcomes all obstacles… who doesn't care whether he gets the girl or not… as long as he's consumed by love… as long as he remains in a perpetual state of being in love… That man, that rare lover is saawariya. Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor's son) is instantly likeable, and Sonam Kapoor (Anil Kapoor's daughter) is undeniably attractive. They are the newest and most promising stars ever offered by our Bollywood film industry. These young stars debut in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Saawariya which is a stark, lovely story about romance born and rekindled over four nights apparently inspired by the classic Fyodor Dostoevsky's "White Nights". Saawariya's is a leisurely paced love story about two young star-crossed lovers. Raj (Ranbir Kapoor), a minstrel, full to the brim with can-do anything ....

Speed movie review
Speed - the latest hindi movie shot in the picturesque locations of London, starts with a young man (Zayed Khan) who receives an emergency phone call on his cell phone from an unknown woman (Urmila Matondkar). She mentions that she has been kidnapped; and the kidnappers have targeted her child next. She is kept in a farmhouse/ stable from where she puts together the remains of a smashed telephone and makes 'the phone call.' Seems the movie was inspired by Hollywood film, Cellular. However, the main plot of Speed involves an assassination of prime minister (aptly played by Suhasini Mulay) which is masterminded by Raj Zutshi and gets it executed through Aftab Shivdasani. The movie is a story of Zayed Khan who comes to London to convince his girlfriend Tanushree Dutta to give him another chance to prove his love for her.

Saat Uchakkey, movie review
A comedy caper about 7 scoundrels pursuing their ulterior motive amid saving their skin from the local cop's hawk eyes. It appears as a realistic story of these petty crooks blundering their way through an exciting gamut of mystery, greed, treachery and running into one riotouscrisis after another. It hilariously illustrates the predicament of Pappi Jaatwala (Manoj Bajpayee) who chances upon a prophecy made by a mystic tramp Bichchi (Annu Kapoor). He is turning 40 and now this good-for-nothing daydreamer has been given a deadline by his girl friend Sona (Aditi Sharma) whilst he appears to lose grip on reality, bent on believing someday very soon, he would stumble upon a hefty windfall. His girl friend Sona is skilled at the intricate art of manipulating any person for her benefit with fish apenty in the big wide sea. She does so with charm and ease. Loitering around the streets of Ol ....

Saala Khadoos - movie review
R Madhavan plays a failed, disheartened retired boxer who now, is a coach of women's boxing for the Indian Boxing Federation. Being true to his profession and the country, this nutty coach has the uncanny ability to spot budding talent. He comes up with a convincing and extremely realistic performance of a true and honest coach who puts all his efforts, time (and money) in nuturing raw talent. Being a true boxing coach, he cannot accept anything mediocre in his budding women boxers. Nothing less. Adi Tomar (R. Madhavan) is a Senior Boxing Coach for Women's Boxing Federation of India. The federation chief (Zakir Hussain) is a typical babu type who keeps his personal motives and benefits in mind while selection of the women boxer to represent the country. Adi's outspoken and blunt behaviour leads to him being transferred to Chennai, where he finds the selected women boxers belo ....
