Bolo Raam, movie review
The film Bolo Raam is a remake of Tamil film 'Ram' which has an interesting plot with an engaging screenplay. Actors of high calibre like Naseruddin Shah, Om Puri and Padmini Kolhapure come together unfortunately for this lack luster thriller at the end of the year. A suspense tale, the film Bolo Raam begins with Raam (Rishi Bhutani) who is locked up in jail on charges of killing his own mother Archana (Padmini Kolhapure). Raam falls into a state of shock and is unable to come out of it. He has this brief psychotic disorder, after his mother's death and becomes silent, refusing to talk or react in any manner. The investigating officer, Indrajeet Singh Rathi (Om Puri) is puzzled and despite several attempts, he is unable to make Raam speak. So he consults a psychiatrist, Dr. Negi (Naseeruddin Shah), to determine the cause of Raam's state of mind and the reason for his silence. Th ....

Shoot On Sight, movie review
Shoot On Sight is a political thriller which deals with the difficult dilemma of mostly peace loving Muslims. The story is about these turbulent times, when a cosmopolitan society, especially London, is gripped by fear of Islamic extremism.

Buddha Mar Gaya review
Buddha Mar Gaya is all about money and its side effects. Laxmikant Kabadiya (Anupam Kher) is a business tycoon, whose company is on the verge of offering an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Rs 5000 crore. Post the IPO it would make LK’s company one of the largest business houses in the country. And ofcourse a lot of money within his family too. However, LK dies a night before the IPO opens in the market. This leads to series of erroneous events. A holy spiritual man, by Vidyuth Baba (Om Puri) advices LK’s family to hide the news of his death for the next two days, till the time the application money for the shares would be received. In the process of hiding LK’s death, the family undergoes a lot of dramatic, sudden and some funny events. A typical black comedy for the youth and the front benchers who would "die" laughing at some funny adult moments on adultery. The directo ....

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho, film review
A political satire loosely based on a real event in Rajasthan, in which a high court sentenced a boy to jail for allegedly raping a buffalo. Debutant Director Vinod Kapri's film is set somewhere in Haryana instead, and thats the reason that the film has a mix of Hindi and Haryanvi dialogues. The film opens on a colorful beginning, in a rustic 'mela' (village fair) with surprises all around. A pundit claiming to bring a Goddess to life in the form of a young girl sitting on a chair in a static blessing posture. The villagers seem to be convinced. Other attractions include, apart from the stand giant wheels, merry-go-round, a sensuous item song "Naach Basanti" and the a beauty competition of buffaloes. The winner is an elderly sarpanch's (a local village chief) buffalo from Tanakpur village. The buffalo is crowned as "Miss Tanakpur" and thats the title of the movie revolving aroun ....
