Superstar, movie review
Kunal Khemu is the star in the film Superstar that is about an aspiring actor who wants to make it big in Bollywood. Not only a fine actor, he can actually carry a film on his shoulders. Superstar has the backdrop of Bollywood to showcase a story of look-alikes who by chance switch their fortunes in an industry where there is only one God: Money. Superstar, the film has him in a double role where one Kunal is the self-indulgent son of a producer (Darshan Jariwala) who pumps in all the money he has to create a superstar out of his son. The other Kunal is a wannabe actor, who drives his rickety motorbike from Borivili (a distant suburb in Mumbai) to Film City in search of a great role which will make him a mix of Amitabh, Shah Rukh and Salman. We have a doting mother (Reema Lagoo), an anxious father (Sharat Saxena) and a cute girlfriend (Tulip Joshi). The wild son seems to be a no ....

Bombay to Bangkok, movie review
Nagesh Kukunoor in his latest film Bombay to Bangkok portrays that love has no boundaries and even can surpass language barriers. It is a cute romantic story with its heart in the right place. It also has a subplot within the plot, which comes as a surprise towards the end. Flow and treatment in this film is same as Kukunoor's earlier films, eventhough the byline screams 'same-same, but different'! Bombay to Bangkok has simple narration is simple; and some moments between Shreyas Talpade and Lina Christianson are handled very romantically. It is typically Kukunoor's expert execution of the story makes a difference. Shankar (Shreyas Talpade), a petty thief, in desperate need of money, steals from the local don (Naseeruddin Shah) and escapes his way alongwith a team of doctors heading for relief work to Bangkok.

My name is Anthony Gonsalves, movie review
It is amazing that this very Bollywood film industry has produced the likes of Shatrughan Sinha, Mithun Chakraborty, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan who were just written off initially since they did not have chocolate looks, style nor any filmy godfather to give them a break.

Return of Hanuman - movie review
The film begins with a disclaimer stating that Return of Hanuman is not a sequel to any film made before. This animated film is superb and technically dazzling. The story begins with a vibrantly and remarkably picturised narrative about how Rahu and Ketu came into existence. Then it shows why man himself is the biggest evil or the impact of pollution leading to global crisis. There is a battle between Gods and the devils. Lord Hanuman requests Narad Muni to convince Lord Brahma to send him to earth. While Lord Brahma is most apprehensive, he eventually takes a softer line, but Lord Hanuman is made to sign a contract, which has several do's and don'ts Return of Hanuman, movie review... The focus shifts to a small village in present-day India. Our baby Hanuman is rechristened as Maruti, who is now a boy enough to get admitted in school as a mortal so that he can play football with th ....

SHOWBIZ, movie review
Exposes of ill doings of the media persons are still scarce in our movies. Maybe, the filmmakers feel condemning the press would invite bad reviews for the film. Mukesh Bhatt has taken a step in this direction with SHOWBIZ. Bollywood has shown politicians, cops and other professionals as villains, then why not journalists now? The Bhatt camp has dared to unmask a section of the media that indulges in foul play, exposing handful of unethical individuals in the media business. It's a directorial debut of choreographer Raju Khan and Tushar Jalota and Mrinalini Sharma. Rohan Arya (Tushar Jalota) a rising superstar seems to have it all. He has everything, anyone else would dream in life - a rising career, beautiful girlfriend and all other material things in life. Initially, not a favorite with the media, with success he's now a media darling, and then later on unfortunately becom ....

As the title itself suggests, Dus Kahaniyaan is an innovative concept where in a single film, there are 10 independent short stories. About 4 or 5 of them are notable from among the ten, which are summarized here: Matrimony ( Director: Sanjay Gupta) The Sarins (Arbaaz Khan and Mandira Bedi) are a happily married couple. On the pretext of meeting her ailing aunt every Thursday, Mandira has a dark secret, unknown to her husband that she has a lover - handsome hunk Sudhanshu Pandey.
