Chandni Chowk to China, movie review
Chandni Chowk to China, the first ever Bollywood Kungfu comedy takes you on a madcap journey from the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi to Shanghai, the Great Wall and rural China, marrying in its wake hilarious gaga, breathtaking action, spectacular locations and heart stirring emotions. Our protagonist Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at a road side food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and look for shortcuts - with astrologers, tarot readers and fake fakirs - basically believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada's (Mithun Chakravorty) best efforts. Chandni Chowk to China movie review... His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and take him to China. Sidhu now dreams of wine, women and a princely existence ....

Amit Chopra (Rajesh Khanna) a rich old man gets married to a young air hostess Beena (Saara Khan). The marriage is unsuccessful as it turns out she was only after his money and gets involved in extra-marital affairs. Wafaa is a low budget movie with a steamy story line to keep the viewers interested. Wafaa movie review... The Pakistani actress Saara Khan plays Beena, a 25 year old airhostess. She is beautiful, sensual and sexy. Her dreams are big. She always wanted wealth, fame and status. She is a dreamer, an achiever who can go to any extent. Even extent to marry a man twice her age – Amit Chopra. The Pakistani actress in the movie is either gaudily dressed in certain scenes while, less and too provocatively dressed in rest of the scenes.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, movie review
Have you ever stopped to think if the most ordinary, uninteresting, unobtrusive man you might see on the road or around you might have a love story to tell? Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi review... Maybe not! How can an ordinary man have a breathtaking, goose flesh igniting, awe inspiring love story of all things to tell? But guess what - love does not differentiate between the ordinary and exceptional, the uninteresting and interesting, the unattractive and attractive. Because love knows no distinction. It can happen to anyone and once it does it engulfs us into it completely and gives us these miraculous experiences that only love can yield. This is what happened to Surinder ‘Suri’ Sahni (Shahrukh Khan) - a shy, simple, clean hearted, honest man working for Punjab Power in the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Leading a humdrum life, he meets his total opposite and falls in love with the be ....

Meerabai Not Out, movie review
Meerabai Not Out is about cricket, the game We love. India loves the game! Cricket is the reason for our very existence. Cricketers are our Gods - our triumphant boys in blue. The film marks Kumble's big screen debut alongside commentator Charu Sharma, who makes a special appearance. Meerabai Not Out review... Meera Achrekar, a mathematics teacher at Vishwaprem Vidyalaya, has been happy and single for quite a while now. The great love of her life has been and will always remain - cricket and Anil Kumble (India’s famous leg spinner). The meticulous number cruncher is, despite not being the classic eye-candy-teenage- fantasy- fodder, a huge hit in class. And that's because Meera, unlike most teachers at her school, is more fanatical about her religion - cricket, than even the school cricket captain! Living with her family in their small home in a Mumbai chawl, Meera was init ....

Maharathi, movie review
224 Crores… 3 scamsters... a wily lawyer... an astute ACP... a sleepwalker and a secret locket in a freezer. A game is about to begin in Maharathi... With high stakes and desperate players. A young discontented wife, her eccentric millionaire husband.. Then we have his trusted chauffer-cum-confidante and a wily grumpy lawyer. All think they hold the winning cards. All are wrong... for all are pawns. And as the game unfolds... a suicide will be camouflaged as murder... a phony kidnapping will result in death... an innocent caretaker will get entangled in more than what she bargained for. Maharathi movie review... At stake - freedom from the net cast by the astute ACP Gokhale and Inspector Borkar. As the players stage an unnerving battle to outwit each other, the cops close in for the kill. Everybody will scramble for cover... the plot will get murkier... the lies will come faste ....
