Latest Bollywood Movie Reviews

Filled with double meanings that are meaningless passwords for mindless meanderings, the main plot is about four lately unemployed men - two of whom get into a drag act to get accommodation in the home of a kindly couple (Johhny Lever and Delnaz Paul) - who are as devoid of intelligence as most of the writing in this film.

Film: “Let’s Dance” Cast: Gayatri Patel, Ajai Chowdhary, Aquib Afzal, Abhaas Yadav, Anjan Srivastava Director: Aarif Sheikh Rating: ** When “Let’s Dance” arrived at the theatres, it raised curiosity as unlike in Hollywood not many films with dance as the central themes are made in Bollywood. “Aaja Nachle” with Madhuri Dixit in the lead role [...]

Film: “Kal Kissne Dekha” Cast: Jaccky Bhagnani, Vishali Desai, Rishi Kapoor, Archana Puran Singh Director: Vivek Sharma Rating: ** Kal Kiss….sounds like something we would rather do today.

“Heaven On Earth” is not a film that offers easily digestible solutions to the complex problem of domestic violence. It neither takes sides nor allows the bride to turn into a pitiable victim. Preity standing supremely dignified at the centre of the conflict furnishes the theme with amazing grace. She’s the only known face in the crowded Punjabi home of patriarchs, matriarchs, victims and perpetrators of bitter violence. But Preity never lets it known she’s a star.

Everything that can go wrong in a film does in "Ek: The Power Of One". Decades ago Raj Khosla had made "Bombai Ka Baboo" about a man who replaces the missing son of a simple rustic family and learns a few lessons on humanism. Many years later Manmohan Desai reworked the same theme in "Roti" and in that Rajesh Khanna played the impostor son who takes over an impoverished son's life.
