When Dumb Gets Dumber!
Rafoo Chakkar Movie Review By Bhushan
There ought to be a law against movies like Raffoo Chakkar. Movies that take the audience for granted in brazen abandon. Raffoo Chakkar is Bollywood’s tribute to the downright ordinary.
Every aspect of this film right from dialogue, acting, storyline, music, camera-work, direction, etc is a veritable [...]
Hari Puttar Movie Review

Please Hurry Puttar!
Hari Puttar Movie Review By Divya Nadkarni
First things first: The movie is not Harry Potter; it is NOT Home Alone (though it tries to be) and it is definitely not funny. What the poor kids need is a new director, a new makeup artist, and not to mention, a new story – [...]

Fashion Audio(Music) Review By Bhushan
Madhur Bhandarkar appears to have learnt some lessons from the perils of straggling on a Traffic Signal, his last film. Fashion has crept up on us quite, unlike the mega budget movies of late, thanks to an extremely low-key publicity blitz. It’s only when the producers UTV released Fashion’s music that [...]
Saas Bahu Aur Sensex Movie Review

Bears in charge!
Saas Bahu Aur Sensex Movie Review By Raju Shanbhag
Shakespeare once said, “What’s in a name?” (Oh, was it Shakespeare? What the heck, what’s in a name anyway?) After watching two hours of drag called Saas Bahu Aur Sensex, we can confidently say there is a lot in a name and it can [...]
Welcome To Sajjanpur Movie Review

Simple and Fresh
Welcome To Sajjanpur Movie Review By Divya Nadkarni
Years after a tele-series called Malgudi Days swept the nation by storm with its idyllic picture of village life, comes Shyam Benegal with something almost as endearing, but not quite. Life in that sun-soaked hamlet called Sajjanpur is alive with characters so vivid (that they [...]
Drona Songs and Music Review

How unconventional can it get!!!! And for how long?
Drona Audio(Music) Review By Suchitra Preetham
The drones of Drona, has Dhruv’s musical creativity bring in the shine and slick to the soundtrack. Drona’s anthem number- the title song both in its original and remix version contributes to exceedingly stylized music that is so rare in Bollywood’s [...]

The LOST Lear!!
The Last Lear Movie Review By Bhushan
There is something sullenly riveting when it comes to watching a larger than life hero die before you, slowly. Maybe it’s the coming to terms with the fact, that everyone is finally human.Amitabh Bachchan (Harry) a retired, eccentric patriarch of Shakespearean theatre is laid up and dying. [...]
1920 Movie Review
September 13, 2008
Creepy in parts
1920 Movie Review By Raju Shanbhag
Be it 1920 or 2008, some aspects of horror stories never change. The story will always be set in eerie looking castles in pitch-black darkness, the woman should always move around alone in the solitary verandahs of the house with dim lit lantern in her hand; and [...]
Kidnap Songs and Music Review
September 12, 2008
Doom!
Kidnap Audio(Music) Review By Dipika Nadkarni
Thrillers have historically given step motherly treatment to songs. But in Sanjay Gadhvi’s dictionary, crime thriller dons a glamorous garb with macho hunks as criminals with scantily clad babes straddling them and sleek cars zooming about. Such a projection often needs a catchy dose of music to add the dash. [...]

Sajid-Wajid: sad-bad, willy-silly!
Hello Audio(Music) Review By Suchitra Preetham
The Sajid-Wajid combo had managed to get the masses prancing to ‘Welcome’ and ‘Partner’. This jodi’s ‘Hello’ venture however is a feeble attempt to stand up to past glory. The album with all its permutations (and combinations) of Bhangra, Rap, Bangs, and Beats, may lead to auditory [...]
