London Paris New York is a story that plots around a boy and a girl who are in their twenties which is the most dramatic age in one’s life. It’s the age in which you have your first significant relationship and find out who you are.
Lalitha is a south Indian girl who is very ambitious and whose going to... ..............Read More

After a month of heavy-duty action [PLAYERS, AGNEEPATH], the spotlight is on romance [EK MAIN AUR EKK TU, EKK DEEWANA THA] in the month of St. Valentine. Besides, films like READY, BODYGUARD and SINGHAM have revitalized the trend of South remakes. Gautham Menon returns to the Bollywood centre stage after... ..............Read More

While partaking in a debate on remakes for a leading news channel, the host posed a query to me: Do you think that a cult movie should be remade? Why restructure or revise the sacredness of a film that's so perfect? I instantly put forth my perspective and responded that if a brand is remade with a... ..............Read More

 If somebody says "spy movie" the first thing which comes to mind is James Bond. Yep, car chases, million dollar gambling in Monte Carlo and gadgets that do all sorts of nifty things. But did the movie producers of the Bond films or even Ian Fleming for that matter actually capture the real world of all... ..............Read More

 Remaking the Amitabh Bachchan classic DON was a risk in itself. Not only because it is one of Bachchan's most iconic characters, but also because films like SHOLAY, DON, AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY, DEEWAR, TRISHUL, MUQADDAR KA SIKANDER [and many, many more] redefined the cinema of 1970s and 1980s. Farhan Akhtar... ..............Read More

I have not read any of the books. I did not see the 2009 Swedish film. I am coming to the table with an uncluttered mind. Okay, some may argue I'm coming to the table with an empty head, but that's another story. From the opening credits with their pounding rendition of the Led Zeppelin's 1970 rock... ..............Read More

It's a bit of a rollicking good time, old chap. (Okay, how's that for some British English?) The whole gang is back under the tutelage of Guy Richie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters come to life in the cinematic splendour of high definition film and whiz-bang special effects including the requisite... ..............Read More

 Love stories are the most tried and tested genre in Bollywood. Youthful stories in particular are eagerly lapped up if the romance quotient is just right, the lead pair is charming, the songs are tuneful and easy on the lips and the sweet and tender moments stay fresh in your memory even after you've made... ..............Read More

Somebody told me this film was about sexual addiction. Before going to see the film, I read several reviews and yes this term sexual addiction kept cropping up. However, now that I've seen the film I can tell you two important facets of the film. First, there is nothing sexual or even remotely titillating... ..............Read More

I'm repeating myself. (Repeating yourself is a sign of senility. If I've said that once, I've said it a thousand times.) The best films I've seen do not necessarily involve a car chase scene. The special effects are minimal and the focus is on the story and the characters. Clocking in at 91% on Rotten... ..............Read More
