Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha movie review
We are reviewing this Ajay Devgn  Tabu starrer 'Auron mein kahan dam tha'  which is about a couple's  love story that ranges 23 years from 2000 to 2023.  After watching the entire film, any mature viewer would have felt that the apt title should have been - Audience mein Kahan Dimag tha??!! This flick starring Ajay Devgan and Tabu with Jimmy Shergill in tow, and I wonder what made Jimmy to sign it? The movie is an old tale of Bollywood movies of 70s and 80s, that is about a young loverboy (Shantanu Maheshwari who plays the character of young Ajay Devgn) killing people to save the honour of his beloved (Saiee Manjrekar playing the young character of Tabu) thus going to jail and scarifying his whole life. Yes, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha delves into the emotional depth but isn't is somewhat like the stories of the 70s and the 80s? Anyway, writer-director Neeraj Pandey has added an u ....

Jazbaa - movie review
An edgy thriller based on the South Korean film Seven Days (2007), Jazbaa is a pacy film with a taut screenplay, yet there are a few over-dramatic scenes which seem a little out of place.

Jazbaa movie review

Sanjay Gupta's characters are shown as the separated families, a single mother, a separated mother whose daughter has been murdered, a single cop who suddenly crops up from anywhere for the single-mother-lawyer whose daughter has been kidnapped. The film is replete with one liners. Like this one, "Rishton mein Bharosa aur mobile mein network na ho toh log gama khelne lagte hein." Jazbaa is about Anuradha Verma, the iron lady, who melts down when her daughter is abducted by the kidnappers who want Anuradha to take up the case to represent a rapist killer who is convicted of murder. Her school friend is the just suspended Inspector Yohan a competent, crafty cop who is ....
