This is a made-to-order film for Salman. As a one-man army, he springs into every frame with that trademark mix of a bored swagger and agile comicality. His romantic moments with Ayesha have a lived-in credibility except when the songs take over.
It's hard to pinpoint where "Blue Oranges" begins. The director has chosen an intricate flashback-and-forth mode of storytelling that he isn't always able to carry off with elan. But the art is in the right place...a part of the plot is devoted to the hazy world of fake paintings and names like M.F. Husain are mentioned in passing.
Don't waste your time looking for silver linings in this dreadful cricket film. Someone said cricket is a game played by 12 fools and watched by 12,000 fools. No we know what he meant.

"Aamras" is a coming-of-age comedy about four 18-going-on-adulthood girls. Pari (Natasha) is the upper class snob who often funds the fun ideas of her middle class best-friend Jiya (Vega). Their equation seems a very distant descendent of Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna in "Namak Haraam".
This one springs a pleasant surprise. Warm, moving and utterly devoid of artifice, "Vaada Raha" is the kind of emotional drama that can never go out of fashion.
The film's release-timing is rather unfortunate. People would want to see Lisa Ray for all the wrong reasons. But we can't feel kindly towards the film just because Lisa is ill.
"Aagey Se Right" starts off as a sweet fun film but becomes tiring once it loses focus. Indrajit's direction becomes a little patchy, especially in the scenes that require multiple actors in one frame. So whether it is the shooting of a Bhojpuri film or a stampede that follows in Vijay Maurya's den or the suicide attempt by Shruti - there is an all around amateurism that is more than just apparent.
The three main players go from over-the-top to the absent-minded without bringing the plot down. Akshay Kapoor, as the weak, embittered and violent husband, has the toughest part. He gets some of the most ironical and hard-hitting lines.
