Housefull, movie review
After ‘Heyy Babby’, its 'Housefull' the latest film directed by Sajid Khan which is a slapstick, a situational comedy about mistaken identities with the top notch star cast, all of who seem to be in good form. Housefull movie review... Housefull is a romantic comedy story which is about Aarush (Akshay Kumar) who plays a luckless, lazy loser trying to change his luck by finding true love. In this quest for true love, how one lie leads to another and how different people from different walks of life come together, adding even more confusion to this hilarious comedy of errors resulting in total confusion and chaos. So we have Aarush (Akshay Kumar) - the world's unluckiest man and given to self pity at times. Being jinxed, he believes his bad luck can vanish if he finds true love. He is in Macao, where he is ditched by his girlfriend Pooja (Malaika Arora). Then he moves back to ....

Muskurake Dekh Zara, movie review
Muskurake Dekh Zara is a story of a young 'boy man' named Vivek. It's a story of simple emotions & disappointments of love and life. Muskurake Dekh Zara movie review... Vivek (Gashmeer Mahajani) has an 'upright' attitude, and ability to put people in their place and add lightness into moody and mundane situations. He does this not only when he interacts with his life's love Preeti (Twinkle Patel) but also when he encounters and jests with the simple, funny and harmless folks - like the eccentric live in DLT (Duniya Lal Tripati), the 'badnaseeb' hotel manager Khaatkar, the curious curio shop owner Elton, the heroine's eternally inebriated Chaacha who feels that one's 'spirit' can be derived only from downing spirits. The film's lighter moments beautifully intersperse with the hero's portrayal of a character of depth. Vivek has his own unique yet simple way of looking at life. ....

City of Gold, movie review
Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar who directed the realistic film Vaastav, City of Gold takes another trip down memory lane. Just that this time around the result is a much more heart wrenching, soul stirring and shocking film about human avarice and apathy. Today, there is hardly anyone who has not visited the swanky shopping malls, nightclubs, lounge bars, clubs and other such lifestyle destinations that have sprung up across the central part of Mumbai. City of Gold movie review... However, very few know that buried deep below these glittering edifices to consumerism lies the dark, dirty and painful reality of many thousands of mill workers who once worked in the cotton mills in this very same area. Rising and toiling to the wail of the mill sirens each and every day, seven days a week, these workers embodied the true unbridled zeal and unflagging spirit of the city and played a pivot ....
