Saw Slumdog millionair a little late, and came to the concliusion that its a good movie as far as the cinematography and techinacilities are concerned, but story wise I find a lot of loop holes. No I cannot relate to this movie at all, yes there are some parts which are so called "real" but at the end of it, this is a typical bollywood movie, with a lot of cliches.

Coming to the music Depptt maybe this is new for the west, but I guess Rahman has given much better music than this, but still I would rate the music as okish. I was particularly dissappointed by the lrics of the movie, specially the song "Ringa Ringa" and when I came to know that this was written by Gulzar, I was more dissappointed.

Overall worth one time watch

My rating: 3 stars

So the election fever is on, and how can our movies be far behind in depicting it? Come the election season and there ckmes one of the best movies ever made on student politics. I liked other ones as well like hasil and mere apne, but this one takes the crown.

Every character in the movie seemed so real, Kay Kay's acting as Dukey bana was mindblowing and so was Raja Singh Chaudhary's acting as Ransa, Raja's role was a very small one, biut leaves a great impact.But I dont think that the movie will do good on the box office, as this is one movie which is made out of sheer passion and not for the masses. Anurag Kashyap has become the master story teller lately with his two new flicks Dev D and now Gulaal.

I particularly liked Piyush Misra's role, his jokes, his sarcastic poem, and last but not the least the music and the lyrics of the movie are simply great. It has been a long time since I heard such good Hindi poetry anywhere. New comerAyesha Mohan and Jesse Randhawa has done a great job as well. Each and every actor's role is mind blowing in the movie. AK has proved again, that it is the eyes with which an actor connects with the viewers....

 Overall a must watch for all the "movie buffs"

My Rating:4.5

The first thing that I thought after 30 min of this movie is, why did I ever come to see this movie. Believe me Guys this is a total Pakaoo movie, and according to me if you do not want to get bored, please pass this movie. I felt as if I am sitting in the theatre since ages. Abhishek Bachhan is looking FAT, and he is dancing around with his obscene ponch. The only good thing about the movie is Sonam Kapoor, she is looking very pretty.

Rakeysh Om Prakash has made the entire movie in "n" number of skits, with there being no correlation of skit number 2, from skit number 1. The songs just bunp into the story anytime, and hamper the flow of the movie, if there is any. The "Kala Bandar" similarity is hilarious... Its hard to bieleve kind of story, nothing practical about it. There is nothing much to the technicality so not worth talking about it.

My Rating: 2 

Please avoid this movie

First things first, Anurag Kashyap has taken Dev Das to the next level. Yes this is definitely Devdas of the modern times. Whatever flaws were there in the original story of Devdas has been removed! I guess a lot of people know about the story, so not describing that here.

AK has shown the ego of Dev is a classic way, but then too the good part of the movie is that Paro also has a self respect, she does love Dev, but has an ego as well. The calssic example of this fact was the scene when Paro meets Dev in a hotel, Dev keeps telling her "Galti ho gayi" "I still love you" and in the end of the scene the way she shows Dev his "aukat". And immediately after this scene the director captures her pain very well while she is walking away from him. The two real life incidents incorporated in the movie is the DPPS MMS scandal, and the BMW hit and run cas. the director has done justice to both the incidents, the trauma after it, and how just one incident can spoil your life forever!

The scenes that I really loved, which spoke a thousand words:

1) The scene when Paro wipes her tears and decides to move on...

2) The scene when Dev hugs Chanda and tells her "beta its ok"

3) When Paro shows the aukat of Dev, after her marriage to an older man.

4) when Dev's father dies, he visits back home, he just cries infront of his mom, this is the only time when Dev is seen crying, this is a scene which speaks a lot without a single dialogue. still cant relate to why people in theatre were cribbing over this scene, I think this is one of the best scenes in the entire movie.

5) The end of the movie!

Abhay Deol has done a fabulous job as Dev, Mahie Gill has done justice to the role, as a curious lover girl, who is finding places to make love to Dev!!! and then suddenly matures a lot after "moving on" 

A must watch

My rating: 4 stars

Samar Khan (Director) has given a lovely crafted movie, a controversial topic handled very delicately. The story is about a soldier who kills his fellow officer, there are musteries in the begining of the movie, why does he kill ? is he the Militant ?

Rahul Bose is an army lawyer, a happy go lucky guy, who becomes serious after he gets to know the reality. The movie  handles various topics, friendship and proffesionalism, patriotism, and moreover the definition of Shaurya (Courage) given by the director is awesoem. What is Shaurya is it killing somebody ? Is it standing in the line of fire ? to find out see the movie!

On the acting Deptt everybody has done a great job! Rahul Bose, Javed Jaffery, KK Mennon, Minissha Lamba. and the story is gripping, the viewer never loses its interest. However Minissha Lamba is not looking cute at all, probably bad makeup!

Overall rating: 4/5 

You go to the theatre thinking that its a great epic, but in the end its a big disappointment. Just to give you all an insight, the movie started at 10:00 pm and at 12:15 am it reached interval. Its a very very long (probably 4 hrs) movie with not much to show. Ashutosh Govariker has made huge sets and definitely the set up and designing is impressive but I think only these two things are impressive. The problem with the directors who try making epics is that they end up getting biased, Akbar was a great king, but Rana Udai Singh (forefather of Maharana Pratap) of Marwar is shown as a villain in this movie.

It seems Akbar was close to god on earth and rest of the kings and prince were just existing on this earth. the songs are pathetic, never expected this kind of score from AR Rahman. According to me this is a waste of time (if not money) and please avoid this movie.

Some movies are made to spread a message, they are made with pure passion, and not because they would / Should do good at the box office, believe me this is one movie that might change your perseption about a lot of things.

A very good subject and very delicately handled by Aamir Khan, the acting by the little boy, Tisca Chopra, and Aamir is too good. Every scene, each song, all the emotions portrayed are just pure brilliant. I would definitely rate this movie as the best movie of 2007. A must watch for everybody.

Rating: 5/5

Must Watch! 

First things first, this is a good movie or rathr I should say a good concept, before you start getting bored of the same story the story ends, and to entertain you for a period of 2 Hrs 30 mins they ahve 10 different stories, all are logical and good, every story has a good twist in the end, and before you start getting bored of a story ... it ends

Detailed review:

Story1: Matrimony

Good twist, this one is my favorite in all the 10 stories. Mandira Bedi is looking good, or rather hot I should say. This is about a lonely bored housewife and what she does to kill her boredom or rather spice up her life, but she finds out in the end that it is not only her who is spicing her life ..... ;)

Story 2: High on the highway

This is a wierd story, about a couple in college who have a wierd timepass after getting drunk out of their mind they go for a walk on the highway everyday since the last theree years, today is the last day of college , they decide to do the same, Jimmy Shergill is in love with Masumi Makhija, but she thinks that love complicates matters, but on the last day of their college life when they decide to take a walk on the highway, life after that is not all the same.

Story 3: Puranmasi

Miniisha Lamba is looking cute as always :P Amrita singh is her mother, she is soon getting married, Amrita is not treated well by her husband, but then she (Miniisha) always cheers her up , one day she does the same as she always did, and in that cheering up Amrita Singh commited some mistakes which screwed everybody's life. Good Story!

Story 4: Stranger in the night

Neha Dhupia and Mahesh Manjarekar are  the lead characters in this story, they play this wierd game on their marriage anniversary evry time, to tell each other if they cheated the other one, so Mahesh had already told Neha about his physical enconters, it was the turn of Neha now, he is sarcastically giving comments, but then there is a very good twist in the end when Neha ends her story.

Story 5: Zahir

Manoj Bajpai is an employee in the bank and thinks of quitting his job to persue his dream of writing a novel, shifts into a new apartment where Dia Mirza lives, immediately falls in love with her. But she gets really upset with him when he tries to get initimate with her once. what follows after this is a saga of male-ego-hurted type of story, this also has a big twist in the end, I didnt like this story though

Story 6: Lovedale 

girl borads the train to meet a guy for matrimonial alliance, but she ends up getting off the train at a station named "Lovedale" as she has a belonging of a co pasenger, what follwos now is a fairy tale love story.....

Story 7: Sex on the Beach

Dino Morea (whom I hate) is sitting on a beach, tired of boredom, then he discovers a book in the sand , signs it, and then from somewhere a drop dead gorgeous... hot girls appears on the beach, they end up flirting with each other, but then she calls Dino to her place for............. but something else was supposed to happen.

Story 8: Rice Plate

I loved this story, Shabana Azmi is a religious south Indian lady, she is very particular about who is a hindu and who is a muslim, I guess on these terms she decides to talk to people, use their services (eg Taxi). She meets Naseer at Bandra station which changes her entire outlook. I liked this one!

Story 9: Gubbare

This one has Rohit Roy, Nana Patekar and Natasha. Pretty predicatable concentrates on the nitty gritty fights involved in married life. Okish story.

Story 10: Rise and Fall

This story has style, action, and above all Sanju Baba. not much of story line, Sanju baba is a don, whose supari is given by his right hand Suniel Shetty. The story has good action and obviuosly style by Sanju Baba. I liked it :P

Overall Rating: 3/5

Worth watching once 

Beware Aishwarya, Kareena, Rani etc etc, Madhuri is back and she is here to stay. Thos movie has everything for a Madhuri fan. Million Dollar smile, amazing dance, brilliant acting. Worth watching once if you are not a madhuri fan, and for Madhuri fans this is a must watch. The story is okish, with decent performances by everybody.

Akshay Khanna suited in the role of Raja Sahab, but basically this film is about Madhuri's comeback so you get lots of madhuri smile, dances and acting by her. Otherwise the film has a lot of bollywood cliches, and you can predict the other move. Konkana Sen Sharma is lively and the movie has some decnt comic scenes as well. The final dance Drama play is well shot specially the lights and cinematography.

Overall rating: 4/5

i dont know what has happened to all these biggy directors, I can never figure out what Sanjay Leela Bhansali was trying to show in this movie, and then there was those irritating dance steps by Ranbir. Sonam is cute but her role is limited to smiling and just smiling, for a change she cries too!

I guess Sanjay had been doing this "change the script to match the set pleas" act since a long time, all his movies has this bluish black tinge, and it seems that after black he forgot that there is something called sunlight and that too exists!

Rani I guess is obsessed with the role of prostites, and believe me she is bad in it. Salman is there for two scenes only so cant talk much about it

Overall a MUST AVOID, I would give it as a rating of 1

Overall Rating: 1

Please avoid it! 

mmm I think I need to watch the movie again, this is the first reaction after I came out of the theatre. Cinematography is good, apart from this actually I am not able to make out anything!

It has fundas of Matrix, some shady Ramsay Movie (atma and all that crap).... Nazi like gas chambers. Well if any of u reading this review has the mail  address of John Abraham please give it to me, I want to understand the plot...... atleast he mmust have read and understood the script. But apparently he was found saying "this movie is different"  and it surely is !

I am giving 2 stars to the movie just because I cannot post here without giving the ratings, but actually I would definitely like to watch it again just because I want to understand the plot... and would hold my rating till then

Overall Rating: No Comments (didnt understand the movie)

 bUt boss Ayesha Takia is definitely hot....... hottest with that red lipstick, red spectacles....white top and black skirt... ooooommmmpppphhhh

A very good movie, after a long time I happened to see a good suspense thriller in bollywood, however it is said that this movies is inspired from an old Hollywood flick, Chinatown, well I havent seen Chinatown but found tghis movie's theme as well as story very gripping.

Abhay is too good in the role of Satyaveer Singh Randhawa an aspiring detective and a suspended Junior Engineer. The director apparently has captured the issues and the lives of people in small town India very well. And inj the end every thing gets explained. However there is a point in the movie when all the clues with Abhay are open ended. But I guess this gets explained in the end. I wont reveal anything about the movie's story as it might spoil the enthu!

Overall a must watch!

My Rating: 4 Stars 

Ramu needs to do something towards his creativity, where has the horror of raat gone? where has the thrill of Kaun gone, where are the directorial skills of Sarkar gone? However this movie is okish from the aspect that it started as a thriller / horror but eventually everybody in the theatre found it to be a comedy!

this is the third consecutive movie where the camera is always focussed on the leg / feet of actresses, well over the period of time it seems that Ramu has developed a sort of obsession for legs / feet, and it gets really irritating to see out of focussed scenes, this might be good photography but I cant relate to it , or maybe Ramu is ahead of time.

Overall watchable once and in the end u will end up laughing, go with your friends so that you have a good time

*Stars 2

Watchable once

*But after all these errors, i am still waiting for Sarkar-2, maybe this is Ramu's history that still people go watch his movies 

This is the one of the most pathetic movies I have ever seen, this has so many loop holes in the plot. When you are a self proclaimed "Great" director, then either you dont touch" the baap of all bollywood movies"... sholay, or give atleast something that people can tolerate.  Ramu actually tried to fit in the popular dialoguies of Sholay in this movie and that made the matters worse.

Ajay devgan sucks big time, this movie shows that how a director can waste an actor of his caliber, but the most irritating character in the whole movie is inpector Narasimha (Thakur in original sholay) his accent is so irritating that whenever he comes on the screen you end up abusing him, sorry but I cant help it. I have seen sholay some 20 - 25 times and I know each and every dialogue by heart, but in the theatre I couldnt make out what is going on in the movie......

Actually the spoof that MTV made on Sholay was far better than this crap, atleast it had some similarity with the original one, but wioth this movie I dont know what Ramu is trying to prove.... he is drawing similarities in such a way that the people sitting in the theatre cannot make out.... maybe only he can make out... 

 My take avoid it.......I gace this movie one star on this site, because there is no option to give 0

*My take dont see this movie, you will end up with a headache

*stars: 0 

again please avoid it... and give respect to a masterpiece named Sholay 

This is a great movie after a long time from the Yash Chopra camp, after a long time SRK has again acted as Shahrukh Khan and not as King Khan. This was the case with swades as well. The film touches a lot of aspects.... Hckey vs Cricket..... Women's Liberation.... eve teasing......Team Spirit... patriotism.

The film is released on 10th of august ... the independence day fever is on this epitome this week. The movie is grasping and the viewer doesnt get bored, even the girls in the team acted very well. I personally liked:

1) Komal Chautala (her acting and Dialogue delivery)

2) Preeti Sabharwal (looks gorgeous)

3) Vidya Sharma (good acting and good looking as well)

4) Bindiya Naik (good acting)

over all a must see....

Wel I wasnt excited about this movie from the begining itself, but then yesterday I saw the review of ginsoakedboy, which said that it is a good movie. Well no point discussing about the story line as dinrat has pretty well told the storyline, now for the review part.

I think:

1) The movie is divided into a number of small skits which have no correlation with each other, after a song suddenly the director throws Lara Dutta... and then there is a skit... after this skit is over the director suddenly throws Chhota Don, I dont know why he was in the movie, I am personally a fan of Rajpal Yadav, but he has dissappointed me big time in the movie. So my take the film is made up of a number of small skits.

 2) Secondly Govinda has beated Salman in acting as well as dance caliber.... Salman's fans might not agree with it but I feel that he was overacting at times....

3) Katrina is looking cute but again I dont think that she knows anything about acting.... Lara is pathetic as told by ginsoakedboy.

4) Hitch was much better, probably according to me this comedy movie lies in the catogory where the director is trying to create comedy by creating chaos, after seeing comedies like "ek chaalis ki last local" and "Cheeni Kum" this mvie comes as a pain. The movie is supposed to have some logic in it I suppose..... if we go by the word that dont try and apply ur brain then this would have been true for movies like "Tom Dick and Harry" and "Traffic Signal" ... just dont apply ur brain whatever the director is broadcasting just recieve that... again I say this is my opinion and other people's opinion might differ!!!

5) The songs are pretty pathetic.. again dropped from the sky.. trying to copy the rappers and I dont know what... Chheni kum was a great movie and most of the songs were playing in the background... or maybe David Dhawan wanted to justify the money spent on the movie.... but for that he atleast needs to put some.... atleast some amount of logic

Final take I dont like it... at times it was a comedy .... or rather created chaos.... at times it gave fndas of patriotism... at times it gave fundas of honesty.... and still at times it gave fundas of Love!!!

--my advice: Avoid it--

Naqaab's tag line is disguised intentions, it is well justified in the movie.. Sophiya (Urvashi Sharma) is the lead actress who works in Burger King in Dubai, she is in love with a millionare Karan (Bobby Deol), and they plan to get married soon, but on her engagement party with her friends she meets Akshaye Khanna, and things are not the same after that meeting, she finds herself drifting towards this "happy go lucky" guy who is a struggling actor in Dubai. But all is not what it seems to be.... this guy (Akshaye Khanna) has been hired by somebody named Rohit to fall in love with Sophiya.... The film has couple of mysteries, which are gripping. However you may find the movie a little boring in the first 15 minutes but when the plot starts uncovering the viewer gains interest in the story. I however didnot finf the movie boring in the first 15 minutes too... well Urvashi Sharma is looking Gorgeous in the movie.... so u can pass your time concentrating on her ;)

Akshaye Khanna's acting is good, Urvashi Sharma is okish... and she is looking too good in the movie. The songs are ok and they are less in number I think only two so u dont get bored once the plot starts to uncover.

Overall worth watching once, a new concept ;)

Saw it on the DVD. Well after the movie ended I found out that this would have ended in half an hour also, well there is nothing in the movies, except for jumping, Dance, some overacting by Lara and Preity, some random appearences by Amitabh Bachhan. And a wierd story line.

I liked the previous movies by the same director, Bunty and Babli was entertaining if not great, but this movie sucks big time!!

I saw this movie over the television, and found it pretty decent, the performances by Bobby Deol, and Lara is commendable. Even the story is good, where a police officer just frames Ritesh Deshmukh in some false charges so that he gets the credit of catching a criminal, and then the story revolves around Bobby Deol (ritesh's Brother) to get a clean chit fdor his brother.

However in the end the movie gets a little dramatic, but worth watching once!

This is no doubt one of the best comedies I have seen so far in the 2000's , This is about a chef who owns the best india restaurent in London, this man is full of sarcasm, and even his dialogues, be it with his mother, Tabu or the little girl who lives in the flat next to his. I guess the only person he was good to was Tabu's father Paresh Rawal, and then Paresh Rawal kept reminding him his age!!!

This is a very good mature comedy, there is no point discussing Amitabh's acting as he is a legend, but I really liked the acting of Tabu, she has portrayed the role of a 34 yr old women very gracefully, even Zohra Sehgal and the little Girl's acting was too good.

Overall a must watch!
