IC 814 - The Kandahar Hijack review
The OTT series IC 814 - The Kandahar Hijack released on and made for Netflix on 29th August 2024 is concerning everything you wanted to know about the darkest chapter in aviation hijack history of India. As the credits say the series is inspired by real events and includes an adaptation of a book titled ‘Flight Into Fear’ written by Devi Sharan (the original captain of IC 814) and Shrinjoy Chowdhury. It throws light on the events that led to and ahead of the subsequent release during the hijack of Indian flight IC 814. As it is a true story which envisages the utter failure of the bureaucratic machinery and the series also depicts an equal apathy of the coalition government of the time. When the negotiations with hijackers or commando action could have been completed on Indian soil as the plane first landed in Amritsar, it was sent hopping first to Lahore, then Dubai and finall ....

Fruit and Nut, movie review
Fruit & Nut is a spoof on India's amusing socio-political state. Therefore a film of this genre should not be taken seriously as it has plenty of slapstick Govinda-David Dhawan type silly scenes. Fruit and nut movie review... Directed by Kunal Vijaykar, Fruit and Nut is one of those films that succeed in making you giggle intermittently as it is a senseless comedy with not too amusing absurdities here and there. The story of Fruit and Nut is about Jolly Maker (Cyrus Broacha), a simple, hard working middle class bachelor in search of love, money, friends and fame. He works as an accounts clerk in a greedy and corrupt builder named Khandar’s (Mahesh Manjrekar) office. This nerd Jolly Maker is an accident-prone character who leaves a trail of disaster behind him. One day in broad daylight, Jolly Maker's beautiful, sexy, smart and snobbish colleague, Monica (Dia Mirza), gets m ....

Acid Factory, movie review
Acid Factory is some real action filmed in South Africa with cars blowing up and trucks all over the sublime Cape Town supported with breathtaking cinematography on land, sea and air. Mark Twain said ' everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.' A person’s memory is the source of all emotions. It is also the source of his guilt. What if a killer would wake up one day with his memory erased? Would his crimes cease to exist? Acid Factory movie review... Faltering memory continually alters the constancy of truth. Short term memory loss denies you of an identity throwing you into an abyss of excruciating agony. Acid Factory is about a group of characters whose sense of past has vanished in a haze of coma like sleep they have woken up from only to discover that reality could be a figment of their imagination. Romeo (Fardeen Khan) wakes up in a des ....

Jai Veeru, movie review
Jai Veeru’s narrative has some resemblance to the Hollywood hits - 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and even apna Jackie Shroff - Anil Kapoor starrer ‘Andar Bahar’. Fardeen Khan and Kunal Khemu star in the hilarious saga of a cop, a crook and a beautiful friendship gone sour in Jai Veeru. Jai ( Fardeen Khan ) is an undercover cop pretending as a motor mechanic to trace down a ruthless gangster Tejpal (Arbaaz Khan). There is a petty thief Veeru ( Kunal Khemu ) who steals cars and works for this gangster. Tejpal is on the hit list of criminals of the Police Force. He is into brutal killings, fake currency rackets, and is a cold-blooded criminal. Veeru hits on a girl at a club and in an attempt to impress her, he falls in trouble with her four brothers. Jai saves him from the hefty men, and this is the beginning of a thick bond of friendship between them. They sing and d ....
