Latest Bollywood Movie Reviews

'Short Kut' not funny enough. The makers of "Short Kut" don't even know how to spell 'cut' let alone cut the film into a shape that can be considered entertaining, let alone enticing.

All in all, the film is a regular family drama, something that may have worked 20 years back. But in today's time when there are 100 entertainment channels airing 500 daily soaps with 80 percent of them taking a sneak-peak into a regular Indian household, it is expecting too much from audiences to step out of their living rooms and spend money to watch "Morning Walk" in theatres.

Applaud this film for its audacity, vivacity and energy. And please don't look for a reason behind the comic chaos. Some things are not meant to mean anything beyond what they seem. This film is a marvel of packaging.

Film: “Runway” Cast: Amarjeet Shukla, Tulip Joshi, Lucky Ali, Deepal Shaw, Shahwar Ali, Sharat Saxena, Vida Samadzai Director: Suniel-Praful Rating: * When a filmmaker doesn’t have any story to tell, he tries to perk up the narrative by using jump cuts, freeze frames and other technical wizardry – last year it was seen in “Woodstock Villa”, this year it’s [...]

New York is a brilliant film and a must watch. With the kind of subject that "New York" has, it could have easily become a sermonising or a pseudo exercise in motion. Thankfully, Aditya Chopra, who has written the film's story, doesn't allow that to happen.

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 or Antara Mali’s “Naach” [...]

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. Since the film had the word ‘kiss’ tucked into its title, we waited patiently for the young couple to share at least one chaste kiss. Alas, the closest debutants Jaccky Bhagnani [...]

Film: Zor Lagaa Ke… Haiya Cast: Mithun Chakraborty, Mahesh Manjrekar, Seema Biswas, Riya Sen, Sachin Khedekar, Raj Zutshi, Master Ashwin Chitale, Gulshan Grover, Hardik Thakkar, Meghan Jadhav, Ayeshka Kaduskar Director: Girish Girija Joshi Ratings: ** “Zor Lagaa Ke… Haiya” attempts at being a fun outing even though it aspires to deliver a serious message around environment preservation. But does [...]

Cast: Chandrachur Singh, Ritika Shrivastava, Erik A. Nanda, Sushmita Mukherji, Murli Sharma, Vindoo Dara Singh and Shahbaaz Khan Director: Manikya Raju Rating: ** Chandrachur Singh would have to wait for a while before he could actually term a movie as a ‘comeback film’. That’s because “Maruti Mera Dosst” is certainly not the film that would bring him back [...]
