Loading ...‘Kal Kissne Dekha’: Great body, sans soul!
Jun 13th
It seems like many are thinking futuristic nowadays, which is a good thing. But the irony is, be it 'Aa Dekhen Zara' or '8 x 10 Tasveer', the genre wasn't well exploited on screen. 'Kal Kissne Dekha' too falls short of expectations. KAL KISSNE DEKHA walks a tight rope. The writers could've explored the concept to ...

Hanuman, the Indian monkey God is perhaps India's only answer to the batmans and supermans of Hollywood. A couple of years ago, the animation flick Hanuman generated a lot of interest. Trying to cash in on the popularity of Hanuman among kids and adults alike, comes the film, Maruti Mera Dost, Maruti being another ...

SUNO NA plays on your nerves. It's boring to the point of driving you nuts. Although the pretext picked is fine, its implementation leaves you wondering what director Amy Thanawala is upto. The acting is hilarious. I mean there's this one pregnant girl whose boyfriend ditches her. Her parents disown her and she is left ...

Apr 8th
Jehangir Surti's Aa Dekhen Zara has a very interesting premise and the director takes great pains to develop this thriller well, but about halfway through, the film seems to run out of steam, before picking itself up and making its way to the end. It works in fits and starts only as there are too ...

On the whole, Aloo Chaat just doesn't work. Below average.Hrishikesh Mukherjee started a trend. Simple stories narrated in the most simplistic manner.

On the whole, Straight is as confused as the protagonist in the film. Disappointing! DOSTANA and FASHION brought homosexuality out of the closet. One assumes STRAIGHT would take it one step ahead.

Jai Veeru has something for the hardcore masses, but nothing for the elite/classes. Its business, therefore, will be restricted to the single screens, but multiplexes will be terrible.

Post MONSOON WEDDING, films focussing on the Indian diaspora have been churned out by makers in the West. But, sadly, a majority of these projects still suffer from the MONSOON WEDDING fixation.
