Qurbani 1980
Feroz Khan (FK) was a stylish personality and his movies also had his touch of style. Qurbani was one of his best with a good storyline, execution and fantastic songs and music. This definitely was one of the best movie roles after Hare Rama Hare Krishna for Zeenat Aman, role that was tailor made for her. Qurbani also kick started the career of Shakti Kapoor as a villain and also gave us the exotic Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan with some chartbuster numbers in the movie. Produced and directed by FK it released on 20th June 1980, FK spared no cost in the production department, there is a scene right at the beginning where FK ruins the Mercedes of the villain (Mercedes was an expensive car and in those days it was not so common to see it around). In fact some scenes were even lavishly mounted and that showed in the final product, it was one of the best movies with rich production values ....

Amar Akbar Anthony review by Pawan Gupta
This blockbuster  - AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY was released on 27th May 1977. By then the stars of this movie were well known and stars in their own rights but one among them was more than the proverbial first amongst the equal. He was none other than Amitabh Bachchan, who had by then attained stardom and though this movie was a multi-starrer, it firmly entrenched him as the new superstar his ‘angry young man’ image was already accepted but with this movie he added one more facet to his acting skills i.e. comedy. Till that time most movies had a full time comedian in the form of Mehmood, Jagdeep or someone to provide comic relief but this movie changed all that with the hero also donning the role of comedian. His contemporary and also in race for superstardom, Vinod Khanna was also in this movie, but this movie took Big B (as Amithabh is fondly called) leagues ahead. 1977-78 was one o ....

Tell me O Kkhuda - movie review
Tell Me O Kkhuda is the story of a girl’s search for her parents. Else, why, one may ask should she leave the cocoon of luxury and comfort and embark on a turbulent journey to seek her roots? Tell Me O Kkhuda gives a most plausible reason for Tanya to chase her near impractical dreams and what follows is an array of dramatic and dangerous escapades into the wilds of Turkey, the deserts of Rajasthan and the carnival crazy Goa. Tanya Kapoor (Esha Deol) has been brought up by her parents (Farooque Shaikh and Dipti Naval). She has everything in life, a family, nice lifestyle and now, a boyfriend, Jai (Arjan Bajwa). By chance, Tanya comes across some documents which show that she is not the biological daughter of her parents but is rather adopted by them. Crestfallen she is, and so she decides to locate her parents. She finds out from the municipal office that a fire had broken ....

Dilwale - movie review
Dilwale is a one-fourth of DDLJ in its name and the entertainment content. A predictable story line, the film relies much on SRK’s shoulders. To make the matters worse, the film’s promos reminisce the viewer of the hit pair of DDLJ and this comparison makes it worse, as the lead couple lacks the freshness and charm of Raj and Simran of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Raj (Shahrukh Khan) gets up from a nightmare from his past. He is a docile do-gooder who resides with his younger brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) on whom he dotes on and would go any distance to keep his wishes as he had promised their father Randhir (Vinod Khanna - a haggard) that he will take good care of him. Raj and Veer are settled in Goa, while the elder bro is easygoing, introvert and philanthropic, his brother is outgoing with a roving eye for all ‘things beautiful’. One day Veer, while on a car delivery bumps i ....

Koyelaanchal
A film based on the coal mafia of Rajapur in Uttaranchal, directed by Asshu Trikha. (Koyelaanchal - Film Review) If coal is an important fuel of our Industrial development, Koyelaanchal (coal belt of India) brings to light the explosive story of the people who have kept our precious fuel station at ransom for centuries. Calling these people coal mafia would be an understatement. The film depicts the trials and tribulations of the poor innocent people living in the remote village of Rajapur and the atrocities inflicted upon them by Saryubhan Singh played by Vinod Khanna and his gang spearheaded by Karua played by Vippinno. Karua is completely dedicated to Saryubhan Singh who can not tolerate any rebellion against him. He brutally kills anyone who dare raises a voice against them. SuryaBhan is the undisputed king of Rajapur and goes around doing his shady deals with the help of ....
