GOLMAAL

Rohit Shetty's movie 'Golmaal' lives up to its punchline - Fun Unlimited. Despite the absence of a concrete plot, the movie entertains because the gags and pranks keep flowing in quick succession. There is hardly any sequence in the film that doesn't evoke a chuckle, if not make you laugh. And the credit for this partly goes to Neeraj Vora , the writer. Once again, Vora spins a yarn replete.......more

Corporate

Madhur Bhandarkar continues to walk on a tight-rope, balancing masala [AAN, TRISHAKTI] and thought-provoking films [CHANDNI BAR, SATTA, PAGE 3] consistently. Ironically, the noteworthy films in his repertoire have been those that dared to tackle an issue that hadn't been explored on Hindi screens before: CHANDNI BAR and PAGE 3........more

Krissh

Is it a bird, it is a plane? No it's Hrithik Roshan!!! It's not enough to say that Hrithik is one of the best actors of the country. Extroardinary is the word for the measured manner in which he glides through the air to the beat of Rajesh Roshan's rather-vapid songs...or cuts through the breeze to the stunning special effects created with a verve so- far unknown to Indian cinema........more

PHIR HERA PHERI

Comedy is the flavor of the season. And sequels are rare in India. So if a dream merchant decides to make a sequel to an immensely popular laughathon, you fasten your seat belts and wait with bated breath for reels to unfold on the screen.PHIR HERA PHERI is the sequel to HERA PHERI involving the famous trio......more

FANAA

The industry has been thirsting for a good film that works at the box-office as well. With a majority of Hindi films sinking faster than Titanic, all hopes are pinned on the first big release this summer: FANAA. Quite naturally, the expectations are humungous and there're two vital reasons for it: Yash Raj and the principal star cast.A Yash Raj film is special. The illustrious banner has cemented its position as the Numero Uno.......more

'36 China Town' - Lacks the punch

Abbas Mustan have always been the kings of suspense thrillers, and have given the audiences films like Soldier, Ajnabee, Humraaz, Tarzaan and Aitraaz, all of which have been exciting and have done well commercially. 36 China Town too is no exception, as it falls into the genre of a murder mystery. The film is set in Goa, where 36 China Town is the address of one of the characters.........more

Gangster

The question everyone's asking, first: Is Gangster based on Abu Salem's life? Yes and no. Yes, because he is a gangster and she is a one-time club dancer (a minor variation there: Monica Bedi was a one-time starlet). No, because fiction - in this case at least - is stranger than the facts you've seen on the news channels........more

'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye' Mushy

Akshay Kumar's films are becoming classier by the month. There's a certain restrain in his presence here. The way he conveys the pain and hurt of an impossible love, is quite surprising for an actor who until recently was counted among the wooden. Director Raj Kanwar's recent efforts to polish up his act have yielded tepid results..........more

Saawan

"You'll die this Friday." No, that isn't a trade pundit predicting doomsday for this hopelessly loopy and washed-out take on the vagaries of life. That's just the 'desi' Nostradamus, played by Salman Khan, predicting sure-death for the film's pert heroine (Saloni Aswani). The film's feverish take on the matters of fate is so hopelessly out of sync with the times, you feel sorry for the perpetrators of this celluloid atrocity. . ......more

Shaadi Se Pehle

The title SHAADI SE PEHLE gave an impression of it being a sex comedy and Mallika's presence just strengthened the belief. But the motion got wiped off immediately after the movie starts rollin'. This ain't no sex comedy, this is an ex-comedy! Well, read the story first. Ashish Khanna (Akshaye Khanna) and Rani (Ayesha Takia) are very much in love........more
