Review - 13B: fear has a new address
By: meetu
Running Time: 145 minutes
The concept of a TV haunting you is truly spooky but it is introduced in such a laidback fashion that you lose interest within the first twenty minutes. And later when the chills do begin it is too little too late.
Review - 1920: Horrified...at the take on religion!
By: meetu
Running Time: 160 minutes
It horrifies for sure. Both by its thrills and its insensitive take on religion. Decent special effects cannot help forgive extreme irresponsibility in this age of communal riots.
Review - 1971: Wars in vain...
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
Story-story-story! Not that this subject has been dealt with earlier. And even if the other aspects are just a little above average, it’s the details in the story itself and the narration style that make this movie worth watching. Certainly worth a watch.
Review - 3 Idiots: teach fun Hirani-style
By: meetu
Running Time: 165 minutes
Though 3 idiots is a little more slapsticky than the Munnabhai series, the crass humor seems to be with a purpose. What remains fascinating is the blend of comedy with his social messages, as usual. He makes being good look so simple.
Review - 8x10 Tasveer: leaves no strong memories
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
There are thrills for sure but they don't last for too long. Also, the peak of suspense comes a bit too late.
Review - 99: a good knock even if not a century
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
A match-winner only if the runs didn't dry up in bits and parts. The climax however, is tied up pretty well and that's what sets it apart from other comedy films. The wit and silliness keep the flow of chuckles running through.
Review - A Wednesday: A no-frills, engaging thriller
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
An engrossing thriller with the most unlikely duo in the main lead - Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah.
Review - Aa Dekhen Zara: plot malfunctions
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
A smooth start with a rocky ending turns a romantic thriller into an unintentional comedy.
Review - Aagey Se Right: Loads of fun yet a bit undone
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
Following a gun is brings roars of laughter. The wit is completely enjoyable and so are some of the performances. Padded with the usual spoof-material, only a little funnier.
Review - Aaja Nachle: Not glitch-free, but enjoyable nevertheless
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
Aaja Nachle is another ordinary story narrated pleasantly and in a digestible manner. So, you know the end, but you wait for the next obstacle that the protagonist will face. The dialogues are a good spread between funny and casually profound. A good first half and the magnificent climax makes you forgive the multiple glitches in characterizations and a few in the script. There are only so many things you can do with a feel good movie.
Review - Aamir: Don't just sit there reading this, go watch it!
By: meetu
Running Time: 95 minutes
There isn't one single department which can claim that it carried Aamir on its shoulders. Each and everything - make-up, set design/locations, background music, lighting, camera work, dialogue, and of course acting work towards creating the build-up and the final impact. And what's more religious fundamentalism is dealt with subtlety - the lost virtue. It has been maintained almost throughout, except for the abruptness of the background music in parts and the portrayal of the antagonist.
Review - Aap Kaa Suroor: Hopefully, this is HR's first and last.
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 130 minutes
Curiosity kills the cat. I understand you are curious about seeing Himesh on the big screen. But, would you want to add to their kitty by watching an absolutely worthless movie which is frilled with bad performances? Only saving grace is cinematography, but certainly doesn't make it worth your or any one else's hard-earned money.
Review - Acid Factory: fails the litmus test
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
An interesting premise and oozes of style too. But no detail to speak of and won't thrill an inch in you. You stay uninvolved and largely put off by what's going on, on the screen.
Review - Aggar: Twists not twisted enough
By: meetu
Running Time: 115 minutes
We have a bunch of overactive crew members in the form of the background music director and the twists-in-the-plot writer. These are balanced off with underactive wooden one-expression-fits-all actors
Review - Agyaat: Gore thrills unknown & bit of us too
By: meetu
Running Time: 100 minutes
Weird camera angles used wisely, wish background score was used miserly. Nevertheless, the pace and visuals used are well placed to thrill and create curiosity. Alas, the climax is pretty predictable and that takes away a lot from the enjoyment of the film.
Review - Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani: : Not unusual or amazing, just a few sparks
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 150 minutes
A rom-com that is half-baked comedy and a quarter-baked romance. Does that make it a well-baked film? Unfortunately that's not how the math works. It stays an under-cooked pot that makes you laugh here and there and doesn't get you engaged in its emotion
Review - Aladin: smoothly pulls wool over your eyes
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
A fun movie for kids and very likely the accompanying adults will not get bored either. Yeah-yeah-yeah, it's the same ol' story, same ol' chosen one saving the world. But it's done very well visually. If only some more energy was spent on the writing.
Review - All the Best: closer to worst
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 120 minutes
Same ol' senseless slapping about, fooling around and basically random running all over the place. The regular elements of a typical slapstick coexist and as always, don't entertain.
Review - Aloo Chat: more sweet than spicy
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 100 minutes
A start towards being a Hrishkesh Mukherjee film. Keeps that smile on the face throughout. But doesn't offer a laughter fest.
Review - Angels and Demons: Exceptionally Unexceptional!
By: Anand S
Running Time: 138 minutes
The Catholic Church has yet another enemy! A colorless and mundane thriller which would be of interest only to Dan Brown fans.
Anubhav - 0 yays, 8 nays, 0 okays
This movie has a average rating of 0/5.0 from 8 reviewers.

Review - Baabarr: is gruesomely violent
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 130 minutes
I'm still hearing gunshots in my head, my eyes feel jaundiced only with the color red. For context, it's been an hour since I saw Baabarr. Can't think of much other than the brutality of the human being. It's the law of the jungle, only the fittest shall continue living. Sure, there's a story and an interesting one too. But again, very little is new.
Review - Baabul: You will need an over-sized handkerchief
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
None
Review - Bachna Ae Haseeno: Certainly not BAH!
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 160 minutes
It's a reasonably mature look at relationships and gives women actual, believable roles to play. But alas, the finer points lack polish and the wimpy, predictable end completely disappoints.
Review - Barah Anna: a decent watch
By: Noopur Bora
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 97 minutes
A dark comedy about the needs of the common man. Similar needs put all three lead players on a bumpy quest of fulfilling their dreams. Laced with very strong performances
Review - Batman - The Dark Knight: Are you ready to confront your Shadow?
By: Anand S
Rating: Must see - on the big screen
Running Time: 152 minutes
A finely crafted film which transcends the Super Hero genre and stands as an allegory of our times.
Review - Bhagam Bhag: A laugh and a half…or maybe not even that
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
None
Review - Bheja Fry: An oil-free dish that's yummy
By: meetu
Running Time: 90 minutes
A slice of life. Or something that should be a slice of life - good humor. Vinay Pathak reminds you how to take a joke on yourself and Rajat Kapoor how not to make a joke on the likes of Vinay. And they do so in comical situations that build on top of each other supported by some simple but really amusing lines.
Review - Bhool Bhulaiyaa: Rationality battles mumbo jumbo and gives rise to hodgepodge!
By: Anand S
Running Time: 150 minutes
Review - Bhoothnath: Cute followed by boring
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 137 minutes
The first half-second half syndrome strikes again. Bhoothnath starts off with imaginative use of animation and has a cute, very enjoyable first half. The latter half not only makes you sorely miss all of it, but also replaces it with lectures (albeit short), a depressing attitude towards youth that go abroad for better prospects, and very avoidable religious connotations.
Review - Billu: needs to trim SRK
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 135 minutes
The stargiri is truly a huge put-off. So bad that even though the dialogues have a consistent, fresh bounce and Billu starts of as an interesting character, it falls flat as the film progresses. Human emotions can keep you glued as long as there's some movement in them. Just Irrfan's brilliant facial muscle movement does not suffice. Simple, at-times sweet but predictable too.
Review - Black and White: Sermon after sermon
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
A compilation of absolutely boring lectures delivered by largely dull characters. A half-decent plot ain't good enough to make a gripping movie.
Review - Black Friday: Is it the complete 'truth'?
By: meetu
Running Time: 160 minutes
Is some good performances and a lot of technical finesse enough to make a good movie? I don't think it is - for a movie that falls into the 'reality' genre. The content needs a lot more depth than this one had. Also, I just didn't understand the purpose of the movie. Was it to tell people how bombs are made or to tell terrorists not to terrorise? I think such movies receive more attention than they deserve due to the controversy they create.
Review - Blue: In Deep Water
By: Amrah Ashraf
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 117 minutes
The typically banal formula of action and skin packed in with some mind boggling underwater sequence. It will leave you with a bad after taste of what could’ve been a treat! After a while, you might feel you re watching National Geographic packaged the ‘bollywood ishtyle.’
Review - Bokya Satbande: gives kids a perfect summer treat
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
Bokya means only well and is manipulative to that end. He's a social messenger for our children and the child in us. The film though is a bit too sweet to be true.
Review - Bombay to Bangkok: Absolutely no different...
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 120 minutes
Same ole stuff. A senseless comedy with no thought put into any department. Only this time its Kukunoor trying to do a Priyadarshan and failing miserably. Now, how sad is that!?
Review - Bombay to Goa: Even reading this tagline is a waste of time!!
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 145 minutes
Horrible, terrible, miserable waste of precious film stock.
Review - Bow Barracks Forever: Nicely made but has a plot that refuses to move
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 120 minutes
Bow Barracks Forever has some well-etched out characters and excellent acting by most of the cast. Unfortunately though, the story is pretty much static and has no support whatsoever from the dialogues.
Review - buddha mar gaya: Yuck!
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 95 minutes
An easy winner for the most distasteful comedy ever!
Review - C Kkompany: Slapstick lover's Munnabhai
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
A cute concept of trying to make this world a better place to live in. Only, that they try doing it with slapstick and murder the idea.
Review - Cash: What a mish-mash!?
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
This is a perfect 21st century hindi masala flick - action, drama, romance, comedy, animation, song, dance, dudes, chicks and NO STORY! There are a few, very amusing scenes and the music sounds good, but the whole thing is very shoddily put together.
Review - Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii: Kids Only!
By: meetu
Running Time: 100 minutes
While there is nothing spectacularly unpredictable about the storyline or the side-stories, there are subtle spontaneous moments along the way that make it an endearing watch overall. More so for the target audience - kids. It’s the preachy monologues towards the end and the on-the-face-ridiculous-climax that blemish the experience.
Review - CHAKDE! INDIA: Exhilarating!
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
I am not a hockey fan and usually can just about tolerate Shah Rukh Khan. And yet, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Brilliant writing by Jaideep Sahni!!
Chal Chala Chal - 0 yays, 7 nays, 1 okays

Chance Pe Dance - Review
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 120 minutes
Sameer Behl (Shahid Kapoor) is an aspiring actor mainly because he was born and stayed cute. He sees his ups and downs in life as an actor. At the end where does he reach? Up or down? If you really care you can go find out for yourself.
Review - Chandni Chowk to China: From blah to more blah blah
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
A crazy plotline of the 80s where Seeta meets Geeta or not. An unbelievable journey of a simpleton from shame to fame - where coincidences rule! An unsuccessful attempt at a comedy, but I guess a successful one at slapstick.
Review - Checkmate ( Marathi ): Double double-crossing!
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 135 minutes
An interesting premise, an interesting narrative style loses fizz due to lack of dynamism in overall execution.
Review - Cheeni Kum: A non-syrupy delight!
By: Anurag Anand
Running Time: 135 minutes
Cheeni Kum comes across as the perfect recipe for the weekend. Great performances, great dialogues, hilarious situations, well-defined characters, great visuals…the ingredients are all there.
Review - Chintuji: is cute but dispensable
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 110 minutes
Fairy tales unless fairly complicated make for good stories for children. But, since Chintuji is about corruption, politics, egos, etc it isn't kid-material either. And it is fairly simplistic too. So other than a quiet "well-tried" applause, there ain't much we can give it.
Chowrasta - Crossroads of Love - 4 yays, 0 nays, 5 okays
This movie has a average rating of 3.6/5.0 from 9 reviewers.
Coffee House - 1 yays, 2 nays, 2 okays
This movie has a average rating of 2/5.0 from 5 reviewers.
Review - Contract: Terrorism is a bystander
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 120 minutes
In broad terms, it's a 'been there seen that' underworld movie. The regular Ram Gopal Varma style of covering gangsters and their lives. But it has a certain rugged feel about it and the sub-plots and side characters are fresh which can make a good DVD watch.
Review - Darling: Suspense thriller or laugh riot?
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 120 minutes
What can you say about a suspense thriller in which you laugh instead of getting thrilled? A suspense thriller in which the plot barely moves but the camera does all the moving?
Dashaavtar - 3 yays, 5 nays, 8 okays
This movie has a average rating of 2.2/5.0 from 16 reviewers.
Review - Dashavatar: Oh, really?
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
A quick overview of Hindu mythology for kids. Doesn't look like it is completely researched or devoid of biases, though!
Review - Dasvidaniya: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066763/">zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi</a> (Quality of life wins over quantity)
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
Quality of life certainly wins over quantity. Dasvidaniya has enough number of interesting characters that is played by a very capable crew. Characters germinate and grow in enough details for us to see the shades.
Review - De Taali: Insane, illogical fun
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 150 minutes
A 2.5 hour long movie. With about an hour's worth of smiles, laughs and hard-core laughter filled in. All because of fresh dialogue and awesome comic timing. You have to be willing to tolerate the many out of place songs and the "sheeeeesh" climax though.
Review - Deception: Basic Instinct it isn’t!
By: Anand S
Running Time: 100 minutes
A noir / thriller film which is as doddering as it could be, with a blatantly contrived script.
Review - Delhi 6: An awesome street play
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
A beautiful non-story with a very deeply-rooted, oft-repeated, overdose of standard philosophy.
Review - delhiiheights: Predictible thus boring
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 110 minutes
No amount of extra “i”s can save this one. Jimmy Sheirgill and Neha Dhupia look cool. So what if they gave an alright performance, they can’t pull it through with those lousy lines. Even day-to-day conversations at our homes would be more interesting.
Review - Detective Nani: exposes issue too big for kids
By: meetu
Running Time: 140 minutes
The subject is a heavy one for kids and the film portrays a serious issue in a way that doesn't engage adults. So, it misses both the potential target audiences. Also, the social issue is touched upon superficially.
Review - Dev D: Arousal without climax, yet not frustrating
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
Three characters tell you they are only human. They are all insecure. They are self-destructive when in love. They are directionless. And unfortunately, this last sentence can be said about the film too. While the characters are superbly set-up individually, when woven together they just don't gel. And the standards set by the start leave you feeling high and dry by the time it reaches the finish line.
Review - Dhamaal: Funny but...not all through
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 135 minutes
Quite a few funny scenes are strung together with wannabe funny scenes. Anyways, 20 minutes of hard laughter guaranteed in those two+ hours.
Review - Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal: Rubbing in racism
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 155 minutes
Does racism really need promotion? How does it make sense to unite people from the sub-continent and have them alienate themselves from the world that they are living in? Don't take movies so seriously, you say? Then movies should stop taking on serious issues!
Review - Dhokha: Daring but a tad boring
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 115 minutes
Dhokha gives a different treatment to the religious terrorism issue that has been dealt with by many movies. It manages to retain interest despite a preachy lecture time and again. Muzzamil Ibrahim and Tulip Joshi give good performances.
Review - Dhol: Usual Priyadarshan fare
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
Typical Priyadarshan fare. A few good dialogues placed randomly across the script and delivered very badly. Story stars over-insensitive men (and you thought that was not possible!) objectifying women.
Review - Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge: shabby shot at spoof
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
A plot with huge potential to be howlarious quits after a few clever quips.
Review - Dil Bole Hadippa: actually it yells, get outta here!
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 140 minutes
Is there a quota system at Yash Raj Films? Under which they assign a certain voluminous budget to no-script scripts? What is it that makes these one-liners with lofty, sappy aims into full-fledged, feature-length, films of no less than 2.5 hours!?
Review - Dil Kabaddi: <em>Kabhi alvida na kehna</em> with slightly more depth.
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
Variety is the spice of life, of married life, of sex out of married life. Ignoring the other aspects of relationships, sexuality in mid-life crises is explored via some good performances. Wish other aspects were acknowledged too.
Review - Do Knot Disturb: As if we wanted to knock!
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 150 minutes
Quick! Read it as a typo. Read it as 'not' instead of the numerologically correct 'knot'. And start with the ticket-seller. Do not disturb the Box Office.
Review - Doomsday: The End of the World cometh!
By: meetu
Running Time: 113 minutes
Futuristic action adventure film, which hustles along in a most entertaining manner.
Review - Dostana: Mockery with pretentious style
By: meetu
Running Time: 160 minutes
With friends like these who needs enemies? A few laughs set aside, this one has a shallow attitude towards friendship, parenting, love and of course gay people.
Review - Drona: Mythology made boring
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
It could have been a good, entertaining story for kids, enjoyable by adults equally, but over-dramatization claims another victim.
Review - Dus Kahaniyaan: An interesting assortment
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
Each of the short stories has a punch at the end. The characters are remarkably developed with about 10 minutes for each story. The subjects chosen are such that everyone is likely to enjoy at least half of the stories
Review - Ek: worth a moment or two
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
Neck-deep in style and toe-deep in content. Reminds you of the trashy Hindi films from yesteryears that you love because of their silliness.
Review - Ek Chalis Ki Last Local: Am glad someone missed a train
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
It's a super-insane plot that is composed of absolutely eccentric sub-plots. However, a good dose of imaginative comedy is blemished by dark comedy that generally does not suit my taste. Overall, though the way the different plots are put together is original and is worthy of appreciation. The makers' courage deserves extra points.

Review - Eklavya: Visual treat to a numb brain
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
Eklayva has some great performances and was shot very beautifully. But, there are too many holes in the story which keep you from enjoying the experience. Overall, I was disappointed. I didn't like the way the story was narrated. The style gave away what was to come next and that was anti-climatic. The last 15-20 minutes were just unbearable and unacceptable from this banner.
Review - EMI: wannabe munnabhai
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
Principal of a message on simple living + Interest of a goon trying to turn good should have equaled to some real fun moments with a subtle message running through but = not-so easy installments of lectures against taking loans
Review - Fashion: A nice but long tale

Running Time: 165 minutes
Good story, good performances by strikingly beautiful people wearing elegant costumes in a longish movie.
Review - Firaaq: futility of fanaticism

Running Time: 90 minutes
Maintains a matter-of-fact tone without seeming indifferent. The entire range of characters verbalize or remain silent but communicate effectively.
Review - Fox: slyest thing around but half-cunning it is
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 110 minutes
You kind-of know where the plot is going but you still want to know how you get there. That has value in itself though it doesn't really demand your seat to be on the edge.
Review - Frozen: is well, frozen
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
The oh-so-tardy pace kills the beauty created by some exquisite and unique cinematography. And the punch in the climax tries way too hard to impress and fails miserably.
Review - Fruit and Nut: more like rotten eggs

Directionless political satire. Aimed at showcasing different types of corrupt politicians, might have led to an even lower voter turnout.
Review - Gandhi my father: More about Gandhi Sr. than Jr.
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
The movie is supposed to be about Harilal Mohandas Gandhi but ends up becoming about Gandhiji and India's freedom struggle. Though the audience is denied insight into the minds of the characters, they are given some brilliant performances by the lead cast.

Review - Ghajini: Original fusioned with a decent flavor of desi tadka
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 185 minutes
That I didn't realize how my 3+ hours passed by is testimony to the fact that you can't take the love for masala out of this Indian. Even though I usually don't like this combination of spices I found myself enjoying most of Ghajini. The thriller succeeded in getting me anxious but the seasoning left a bad after-taste.
Review - God Tussi Great Ho: Misuse of power

Review - Harishchandrachi Factory: Passion for Cinema!
By: meetu
Rating: Must see - on the big screen
Running Time: 95 minutes
A charming and heartwarming tribute to the two years and many sacrifices that Dadasaaheb Phalke made smilingly. Only to bring us the magic of cinema. His dedication and unwavering attitude will be an inspiration to date because of this well-made film.
Review - Hattrick: Clean bowled

With hardly any relevance to cricket the story is very general. The actors do the best they can with the lame dialogues given to them. The music is loud and pretty much unpleasant (except the promo song).

Review - Heyy Babyy: Chewing gum for the brain
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 145 minutes
Absolutely run-of-the-mill slapstick is in-charge of the first half of the movie. Interestingly though, the second half is taken over mostly by my kind of good subtle humor. And that's what makes this one worth a DVD rental.
Review - Hijack: Plain old story, plain old action

There's absolutely nothing new about this thriller. Besides, the plot details are either missing or incoherent.
Review - Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.: Comedy disturbed because they couldn’t resist having a story

Review - Hope and a little sugar: A sweet date movie

Hope & a little sugar is a love story with a backdrop of terrorism. Yet it has no speeches and has a very subtle narration style. Worth a cozy DVD watch.
Review - Hulla: Much hulla about nothing

Review - Ishqiya: Aimless love, sex aur dhokha
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 120 minutes
"Something's missing." Yeah, Ishqiya is one of those films that leaves with you that feeling. Once you believe in the story, its well told. But even after the plot has unfolded there's a huge gap in understanding the characters.
Review - It's Breaking News: Digressions distract from otherwise interesting plot
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
A woman centric storyline is always a welcome change. Especially when the lead ladies stand up to the tall task. Unfortunately though every once in a while the script digresses into a subplot and thus loses focus.

The only word that comes to mind is 'cute'. No less and unfortunately, no more.
Review - Jab We Met: ordinary story played out well
By: meetu
Running Time: 145 minutes
An entertaining first half that establishes the characters and an emotionally charged second half keeps you interested in a rather regular love story. The story is as far from reality as can be, but then, that is what escapist cinema is all about, right?
Review - Jai Veeru: makes enemies with the audience
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
A perfunctory narration of predictable plot and fake style. Bad acting makes it worse.
Review - Jail: you sense the claustrophobia
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
The word spells gloom, the vision it creates makes a shiver run down the spine. The things you've read about this thing called prison invoke the worst of your imagination. The Neil-Madhur combination brings this harshness to life.
Review - Jannat: Nice yet not good enough
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 140 minutes
Jannat - An engrossing watch which raises some philosophical questions. A story well told but yet doesn't warrant a trip to the theaters.
Review - Jashnn: Celebrate Boredom
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
Age old family drama tweaked to give a contemporary feel. Doesn't help the most ancient tug-of-war. Preachy dialogues and scenes that drag on manage to create a soporific effect in the theater.

Review - Jodhaa Akbar: Excruciatingly long!
By: meetu
Running Time: 210 minutes
Painstakingly made but painfully long. The history and politics is interesting but the teachers seemed to be in a rush to cover the course material. What we do know now though, is romance 450 years ago was same as it is now. It is a visual treat nevertheless.
Review - Johnny Gaddar: Gripping entertainment
By: meetu
Running Time: 140 minutes
It was refreshing to use my brain while watching a movie and finding out that the moviemakers have also done the same while making it. Not flawless, but completely entertaining, Johnny Gaddar is a must watch!

Review - Kal Kissne Dekha: Unfortunately I did
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 120 minutes
Science meets supernatural in an excruciatingly sad attempt at comedy. Fardeen Khan meets Uday Chopra to make Jacky Bhagnani, the 'dude'. Need I say more? And Riteish Deshmukh is a comic relief!?! The strike seems to have hit some story writers in their head!
Review - Kambakkht Ishq: generates hatred for films
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 135 minutes
The story got left behind, far behind. What story, you may ask? And a good question it would be. I can't find a single nice thing to say about a film. Not a line, not one joke. What can you do when the maker's aim is to make an awful film? It runs literally dead slow and has not as much as an iota to savor.
Review - Kaminey: run at good pace but swindle on details
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 130 minutes
Though Kaminey is directed in style it's still a typical gangster plot and is superficially written too. The focus on details of the shallow characters is sorely missing. Punch is forced into dialogue delivery to mask the lame lines. However, Shahid-Priyanka do well.
Karma - Crime Passion Reincarnation - 2 yays, 2 nays, 3 okays

Review - Karma Aur Holi: simple urban stories
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 90 minutes
A slice of Indians' lives in American suburbia. Interactions between people from various backgrounds, ethnicities and age groups are captured gently. Not remotely as abstract as the title sounds.
Review - Karzzzz: close but no cigar

Running Time: 130 minutes
No surprises. Same ol' bottle same ol' wine.
Review - Khoya Khoya Chand: Abrupt
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
Khoya Khoya Chand jumps from sub-plot to sub-plot showcasing only the end result in each case and not the process that led to it. It feels like the crew took a break after each sequence and the loss of continuity shows. While the songs reflect the charm of the 50s, you might be better off just listening to them.
Review - Khuda Ke Liye: Wake-up, will ya?
By: meetu
Running Time: 165 minutes
Fanaticsm, racial profiling, feminism, generation gap, lost identities of people moving from the East to the West - Khuda Ke Liye covers it all with a good forceful impact in the end.
Review - Kidnap: Attempt at story in an action-thriller
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 135 minutes
The crime-related questions that Kidnap asks are worth pondering over. But the glaring loopholes don't allow you to get absorbed completely.
Review - Kisaan: has domestic squabbles too!
By: meetu
Running Time: 105 minutes
Violence, politics, business, family, romance - this one has it all. Does it make it THE masala movie to watch. Na-ah. Tastes bland despite all the masala. Save an interesting, unexpected twist there ain't anything to savor.
Review - Kismat Konnection: same ol', same ol'
By: meetu
Lage Raho Munnabhai (LRM) meets Jab We Met but without the charm or humor of either. Vidya Balan blends Janvi of LRM with Suman of Munnabhai MBBS. Shahid Kapoor plays chocolate hero, again! Aziz Mirza is still in I'm directing Shah Rukh Khan mode.
Review - Kisse Pyaar Karoon?: Skip Skip Skip
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 135 minutes
So superfluous is the depiction of love that you wonder what a fool you are to have taken ages to fall in and out of love. Such is the whole drama that you begin to doubt your potential to fall in love, let alone caring about who the protagonist should fall in love with. All this in the 80s style of filming and loving.
Review - Krazzy 4: Sticks to expectations - it's crazy, alright!
By: meetu
Running Time: 105 minutes
Sarcastic spewing on the state of the nation, comic timing and peppy item numbers by the reigning "stars" provide a few select moments of entertainment. Other than that, vanilla slapstick is what it is.
Review - Kurbaan: Really? Only a few good Musalmaan?
By: meetu
Running Time: 160 minutes
All but a couple Muslim's are terrorists. Is that what we need to hear in this day & age? Predictable to the minutest detail and utterly-butterly s..l..o..w. You sure have better ways to induce yawns now, don't you?
Review - Kya Love Story Hai: Next movie, please
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 120 minutes
Boy-next-door meets girl-next-door and their story translates to screen as a love-movie-next-door. This love story makes an arranged marriage look interesting. The movie lover that I am, I have still tried to give it a positive spin.
Review - Laaga Chunari Mein Daag: Highly unconvincing!
By: meetu
Running Time: 140 minutes
Another outstanding performance by both Rani Mukherjee and Konkona Sen Sharma. But, that's no surprise. And unfortunately, that's not enough either, to mask the ill-defined characters and their unexplained motivations. This is further marred by lousy and lengthy dialogues. The lyrics are good and the music is refreshing, but you don't to watch the movie for that.

Review - Let's Dance: 1 step forward, 2 backwards
By: meetu
Running Time: 125 minutes
The main story and the various sub-plots are interesting, but unfortunately lack punch. The narrative is as flat. Nothing out-of-the-ordinary happens and you are left dissatisfied with the build-up and finale. The choreography and dances are nothing to swear by either. Some capable new actors brought on board though.

Realistic characters and settings in a not-so-real story. Great subtle humor yet a punch is lacking.
Review - London Dreams: through a pleasant though long night
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 150 minutes
There's drama. There are moments atypical of Hindi films. There's the regular Bolly-masala. It entertains and it engages but not for the entire length. Ultimately like many films longer than 2 hours it doesn't arrest you in your seats.
Review - Love Aaj Kal: Love Aaj Kal: Dekko today tomorrow & repeat
By: meetu
Rating: Must see - on the big screen
Running Time: 135 minutes
A film that is not funny but makes you smile wide because it makes you think, chew, mull. If you can't handle a "different" kind of love story - the practical, the contemporary, the possible - just shhhush away this instant! No need to read further. If you think you are game for a romantic film that is well thought over - don't go on reading this, book your ticket and one for me too. I can watch this one with each one of you again and again! The world wide web won't eat the detailed review before you come back, I promise!
Review - Love Story 2050: the future is frighteningly dull

Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 180 minutes
A brand new, spanking bright low has been hit! What else can you say when calling a movie 'no brainer' is like paying it a compliment? Ladies and gentlemen, if the Baweja family's vision were to come true, the future of romance is very bleak.
Review - Luck: long, has lousy lines, leaks style
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
A few good action pieces & slick execution of a different-interesting plot isn't bad. But there's no way to duck the god-awful dialogues. And just as "Love isn't good enough for survival", just style doesn't a good film make.
Review - Luck By Chance: Slow steady and almost wins
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
Romance and the usual things that ensue. Clever lines amongst preachy ones. Clichéd characters yet deeper too. There's equal scope to let go and enjoy or to observe and ponder.

Review - Main Aur Mrs Khanna: Where's the love?
By: Akashi Kaul
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 130 minutes
The promos of Main aur Mrs. Khanna are quite misleading as they would have you believe that this movie is a Salman Khan movie. For all the Salman Khan fans out there, THIS IS NOT A SALMAN KHAN MOVIE. But if you want to see him anyway, go right ahead and watch it. Watch out for Bappi Lahiri.

Review - Mere Baap Pehle Aap: A loud father-son relationship

Review - Metro: An interesting plot sorely misses the final punch
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
Great performances accompanied by smart lines. Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma show versatility by succeeding at comedy too. The script has nice, consistent characters. And the songs have good lyrics too (for a change!). Unfortunately, everything is ruined by the most inept climax, leaving the audience with a sour after taste.

This mission is filled with convenient coincidences & sprinkled with Apoorva Lakhia style gore. It pretends to be smart in the beginning and loses interest in that too post-interval.
Review - Mithya: Half-good
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 110 minutes
The tongue-in-cheek, sharp humor might not make you roll on the floor but surely makes you laugh out loud. Unfortunately this is only in the first half. The crisp plot withers away and the acting wanes as the climax approaches.

Review - Morning Walk: isn't refreshing

Direction and story-telling of yesteryears meet a contemporary story. So modern that it is a difficult to digest. The gray characters are interesting but lose charm because of the archaic narrative style.

It’s a dark look at human nature with a hint of hope that humans need. Awesome portrayal of detailed characters. Unfortunately, pace is slow enough to make it tiresome by the end.
Review - Mumbai Salsa: Mediocre
By: meetu
Not all love stories are the same. So, we have four. There is an attempt to touch upon some serious issues in relationships, while retaining a sense of humor. Unfortunately the humor is neither atrociously funny nor subtle. The serious parts lack novelty and punch. And neither can you take anything seriously nor can you sit back and enjoy the laugh.

Review - Namastey London: cliched patriotism
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
Two hard laughs, two emotional scenes and an attempt to evoke patriotism in the Indian cinema goer. Worked for some, didn't work for the rest of us. Akshay Kumar gives an appreciably controlled performance and while Katrina Kaif gives her best so far, yet leaves loads of room for improvement. The story has way too many holes. Then again, we can't expect anything more in a romantic comedy.
Review - Nanhe Jaisalmer: Cute!

Running Time: 110 minutes
A child artist who can act, , a plot that is different, a kids' story that is given a mature treatment, and a Bobby Deol who can be ignored - all good enough to make it worth a watch!
Review - Naqaab: Comedy or suspense thriller?
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
It is a shame that another brilliant concept has been flushed down the drain because of half-baked attempts at narrating and acting. The product comes across as tacky because of the constant shuffle between comedy, unintentional comedy, a few extra-predictable scenes, and unexpected plot twists.
Review - Natarang: Firm feet and views
By: meetu
Running Time: 100 minutes
With a flurry of films on "follow your passion, the world be damned" in both Marathi and Hindi, you'd think there is only so much you can add. But, Natarang takes the concept a few notches higher. And this can be said about both the lead performance and the story. I very reluctantly confess that all of this happens only in the second half.
Review - Nau Mahine Nau Divas: No Logic, Some Fun
By: meetu
Running Time: 125 minutes
Has about 9 hearty laughs too. Rest of it, though, is pretty much slapstick & far away from believable
Review - New York: YRFication of engaging debate
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
Audience is sensitized to the circumstances that create a terrorist. But, it is padded with fluff that is typical of Hindi cinema - songs, colors & happy faces. And this fluff is more in the narration rather than the basic plot itself. That with the predictable dialogues and turn of events makes this a little less watchable than it could have been. All set right in the second half though.
Review - Nishabd: A well-told story
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 110 minutes
Despite my aversion to the concept of a father falling in love with his daughter’s friend, the movie had an overall impact. Great performances (like that’s a surprise!), straight-forward dialogues and a bold storyline make the movie worth watching. But does not necessarily warrant a trip to the theaters. It would have been better if they spent a little time on relationships other than the Amitabh Bachchan-Jiah Khan relationship. Also the overenthusiastic cameraman and murder-mystery style background music got exasperating after a while.
Review - No Smoking: Fascinating!
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
It is fascinating to go to a movie and not see a story but the picturization of an idea. The visualization then is just a starting point for the audience's imagination. My suggestion - don’t look for a linear description of events, look for how this idea, this concept takes shape.
Review - Oh My God: Subtle, surreal, but suddenly ends

God proposes, man disposes. Oh, My God!! (OMG) is a man's surreal success at creating discontent for himself. If only, OMG didn’t end so suddenly. Yet another fabulous performance by Vinay Pathak.
Review - Om Shanti Om: Story messes the entertainment
By: meetu
Running Time: 165 minutes
Om Shanti Om is a mediocre variety entertainment program. The movie gets marred because the makers did not have the courage to make a spoof for the sake of a spoof. It is obvious that the story was forced to make the movie sell. Had they stuck to the industry jokes, it would have been as entertaining as a gossip magazine.
Review - One Two Three: you should flee

Subtle comment on family's contribution to a personality, another subtle comment on the media hullaboo. With a smart sense of humor. But, a very dull plot with no ups and downs to keep you interested.
Review - Paa: stirs the funny-mature kid in us
By: meetu
Running Time: 140 minutes
A film that invokes thoughts on varying subjects from single parenthood, rare diseases to politics. And it does so successfully. As if that weren't enough it is all put together in a relatively unusual plot and has one superb performance by Amitabh Bachchan which overshadows brilliant performances by the rest of the cast too.

Review - Partner: Typical David Dhawan-Govinda-Salman fare
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
David Dhawan comedies are beyond me. At first, it felt good to get away from the daily drudgery that life is and submit myself to the histrionics. But, a few very good laughs in exchange for an arbitrary bunch of stories thrown around a Hollywood chick-flick are not good enough. It is difficult to retain interest when you can mouth out the punch line for more than half the jokes. And even more difficult when the attempts at wise-cracks stop too.
Review - Parzania: Will leave you speechless
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
What can you say, when a movie hits all the right chords? Fabulous acting, nice compact script, very focussed direction. If I have to knit-pick I would say the things that didn't work were the aimless talk about Gandhiji's philosophy and the role of the American - only because his character's purpose was not explained properly - though I have my own ideas about the latter.
Review - Paying Guests: default on plot, shell out laughs

Running Time: 110 minutes
Kiranjit Ahluwalia - the lady who fought with destiny and resigned to it at the same time. One of those stories that get lost in the plethora of injustices in the world. A story that desperately needs to be told. Alas, it loses out in execution - despite Aishwarya’s sensitive portrayal of the lady who was wronged. As usual she looks stunning (without makeup at that!).

Running Time: 140 minutes
No seriously, is more mush possible? Actually, even if it is, I don't want to know. This was enough for a long, long time.

Running Time: 140 minutes
The age-old tug-of-war between blind faith and rationality continues. It horrifies, and gets you on the edge. But like all horror movies it also makes 140 minutes seem like much, much longer. Maybe I didn't enjoy it as much because I don't subscribe to the belief they endorse. But because there's some attempt to elaborate rather than skim, the watch wasn't a complete waste.

rab ne bana di jodi takes on the nitty-gritty of the romance in an arranged marriage. Enough reason for Aditya Chopra to bring in the mush and gush. Yet, "What a woman wants?" and "What her man is capable of giving" is explored with some insight. We are growing up, but only 'haule haule'

Every frame reeks of self-obsessed director mercilessly butchering the original. The characters are not etched out at all and have plain bad dialogues. It is sad to think of Babban as Amitabh Bachchan instead of the other way around. Others are all pretty bad too. The villain of the movie is the cameraman.

Running Time: 120 minutes
Too much of the same thing over and over again - loud music, close-ups. How many underworld sagas can we watch? It has good acting and good twists in the plots but they are not enough to warrant a trip to the theatre.
Review - Road To Sangam: long, reflective stroll with Bapu
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 145 minutes
Like the film, the protagonist, Hasmat, sticks to an ideal and to the ethics that HIS religion demands of him. A religion he has defined for himself that he needs to follow and make others follow in his walk towards peace. And they are both preachy.
Review - Roadside Romeo: Sleaze in kids' movie, why?
By: meetu
Running Time: 90 minutes
Animation scores though animals behave no different from humans. They dance sleazily even in a kids' movie!
Review - Rock On: Friends are forever...
By: meetu
Running Time: 145 minutes
Who hasn’t had a row with a friend? Time to make that call and hug the friend you didn’t patch-up with ages ago. That’s the warmth you feel while watching Rock On!!. In the end, you connect and that’s what counts!
Review - Rocket Singh: orbits the sales world charmingly
By: meetu
Rating: Must see - on the big screen
Running Time: 160 minutes
An adorable experience. A drama-free which by definition includes melodrama-free execution. Super-witty dialogues that are timed superbly. And a plot that flows smoothly. What more can we ask for?
A faster pace? A shorter film? Maybe - but I'll take a little more of this than lose the impact it creates.
Oh and kudos to Jaideep Sahni! This man has some writing prowess!!

Review - Saas Bahu Aur Sensex: By a woman, of some women, for really no one
By: meetu
Running Time: 140 minutes
The connection between the three entities of the title are contrived. You can't make head or tail of the plot because logistics go for a toss!
Review - Saawariya: Nothing new!
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
An everyday love story is presented as a fairy tale. The lackluster dialogues, the amateurish acting, the unwarranted slow pace all add up to a tedious watch. The only saving grace is the music.
Review - Salaam-e-Ishq: Shorter would have been sweeter
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 225 minutes
An entertaining 2 hours sandwiched between a clumpsy beginning (45 minutes) and a boring end (another 45 minutes). It is worth watching once when you are in a mood for a light movie. But you don't need to rush to the theatres. Excellent acting and good direction. I especially enjoyed the parody on everything our "masala" movies stand for. Still wondering what the end product would be if it was 1.5 hours shorter.
Review - Samaantar: sweet but not complete
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 105 minutes
It's always a pleasure to watch the irregular veterans on big screen. They have after all mastered their skill. And they get to use it in a calm ambience too. But unfortunately the narration is flat and leaves you dissatisfied.
Review - Sankat City: has funky citizens & strange ways
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
A movie long chase sequence that actually goes in circles. Very engrossing at first and then gets tiring as there's no new plot point to ponder over.
Review - Sarkar Raj: not bad, not bad at all...
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 125 minutes
A treat for Bachchan fans and an intense story for the non-believers. If you are mentally prepared for that noise the background music creates and the camera being held in the weirdest possible positions and angles, you can actually enjoy the drama despite all its flaws.
Review - Seven Pounds: A secret burden a desperate hero
By: Anand S
Running Time: 123 minutes
Will Smith stars in a film aimed at emptying your lachrymal glands.
Review - Shakalaka Boom Boom: A mind-numbing experience
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 135 minutes
They call it a musical drama. Is it too much to ask for at least one hummable tune or a watchable song? I am sane enough not to ask for average performances or a sensible script.
Review - Shaurya: Powerful yet a bit amiss
By: meetu
Running Time: 145 minutes
Shaurya dishes out a strong flavor of anti-fundamentalism with a negligible measure of sermons. That in itself is a rarity. While it might not rise up to the standards of "A few good men", it has its intense moments that work.
Review - Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho: Brimming with frustration
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 110 minutes
A valid point made but nothing we don't know from our experiences. Also unfeasible/impractical solutions provided make it further from real life. And sarcasm is used to preach.
Review - Short Kut: is long & falls short of engaging
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 140 minutes
Slapsticky elements completely overshadow the promise in characterization. The willingness to experiment with plot is marred by the inexplicable need to bollywoodize the details.
Review - Siddharth The Prisoner: Lost and Found Freedom
By: meetu
Running Time: 90 minutes
It's dark and it's abstract and it'll make you think. What is it that will liberate you from the trappings of life? An outstanding performance by Rajat Kapoor and some thoughtful yet simple background music keep you company in this extremely slow-paced film.
Review - Sikandar: fights shoddy details with good concept
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 110 minutes
Just like ever-so-beautiful Kashmir gets grimmer as you look deeper into the situation there, the magnificent bird's eye view of the film is marred by the unpolished details. The glowing loopholes distract from the range of interesting, socio-political underlying themes.
Review - Singh is Kinng: Not really...
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
Punjabi is queenn. Wit is Jack. Plot & logic are thrown out of the deck. So, the viewers are ace jokers! But, who am I to stop Akshay-Katrina fans from rushing to the theaters?
Review - Slumdog Millionaire: Emotions - all in one
By: Tarun Chandel
Running Time: 120 minutes
Thinking about the movie on my way back to home I was caught up in confusion if it is a movie about dreams, hope, sore relations, the reality of life of a slumdog or is it about the luck of a random boy.
Review - Sorry Bhai: Modern Mahabharat
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
An intense look at characters, their motivations and their inter-relationships. If only the resolution didn't seem funny and thus out-of-place.
Review - Speed: A thriller without the thrilling elements!
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 110 minutes
When something is sold to me as a thriller, the least I expect is some style from the "action" heroes, a few smart one-liners, and an engaging plot. But, oh well, that's not to be. The songs are bad and the picturization worse. The only saving grace is a couple of action sequences.

Review - Straight: concept down the drain
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
It must be some kind of an art form to not be able to utilize Vinay Pathak's brilliance as an actor. Meanwhile the jokes given to him range from sad to bad.
Review - Strangers: Chic plot loses to over-stylization
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 90 minutes
Strangers has a smart plot and is played out very well by the lead actors. However the classy story-telling format takes away from the nitty-gritty of the characters and their motivations.
Review - Striker: gets queen, misses cover
By: meetu
Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 130 minutes
The sharp dialogues support a fragmented plot. The smart visuals are accompanied by jarring background music. The story is neither about carrom nor about the communal riots. The movie is neither here nor there.
Review - Summer 2007: We really need to wake up to these issues!
By: meetu
Running Time: 160 minutes
Sure, we can choose to close our eyes once again to the farmer suicide issue because seems so distant. But, just like we read about it in the newspapers, write about it on our blogs, we should watch this movie because someone dared to make it.
Review - Sunday: Subtlety - whither art thou?
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
Given the humor, Sunday could have done so much better if an elegant approach was used. Instead we have a loud, garish product. A few good laughs
Make it a lazy Sunday watch, if at all.
Review - Ta Ra Rum Pum: Pacy and colorful fun - at least for kids
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 165 minutes
Children finally have something worthwhile to occupy themselves with in the summer vacations - well, at least for three hours. Parents won't have a bad time either, especially if they don't mind the formula combination of action and songs. Nothing out-of-ordinary from the performances or the script but an easy one-time watch nevertheless.
Review - Tahaan: chaos in a little Kashmiri's life captured with serenity
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
I wouldn't mind the leisurely picturesque voyage had it not been towards a sudden end. Yet barring the discontent sensed by the climax, the other 115 minutes were well spent.
Review - Tare Zameen Par: A lesson for parents & teachers

Rating: Must see - on the big screen
Running Time: 160 minutes
Classy and charming. Composed and elegant. Aamir Khan delivers his first baby with élan. The hard labor shows in a compassionate portrayal of a sensitive issue.

No ishtyle, No chaaram, no kewl action, no ROFL jhokes (1.5 LOLs, tho). Fitting it into a stereotype - a very 90-ish film!

A simple adorable script narrated with creative use of the camera, color and light. Pankaj Kapoor gives yet another excellent performance.
Review - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Life is Opportunity

Is it a play? Is it a movie? Whatever it is, it's a collage of brilliant performances. If only story had some clear direction!
Review - The Namesake: Beautifully simple and simply beautiful
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
This is story-telling at its best. Especially considering there was nothing very unique or great about the story itself. I was mesmerized by Tabu’s acting. Simple day-to-day dialogues and none, if not necessary added to the elegance of the movie.
Review - The Pink Panther 2: Bumble fumble and stumble
By: Anand S
Running Time: 92 minutes
Steve Martin reprises the role of Inspector Clouseau and it is a debacle all the way.
Review - The President Is Coming: Having fun with stereotypes
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 90 minutes
An extremely ridiculous premise used to spoof everything from reality TV shows to jingoism. Subtle humor to on-the-face silliness makes it easy to keep that smile on for the entire 90 minutes.
Review - The Reader: Innocence lost, such a cost
By: Anand S
Running Time: 124 minutes
A love story, between two disparate characters that examines the frailties of the human condition.
Review - The Stoneman Murders: plot with extra drama
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 95 minutes
All the build-up is justified with an interesting result. Unfortunately, we get 2-3 extra minutes at each twist to predict the next move. And this mars what otherwise could have been a superb thriller.
Review - thoda pyaar thoda magic: Adults not allowed
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 130 minutes
Though I have huge complaints in most departments, I can't deny that it's perfect packaging for kids in the 3-12 age group. With hardly any "sad" moments, the characters are mostly colorful and chirpy. But, given my reservations, should I actually encourage my kids to watch this when not too long ago Taare Zameen Par was around? Oh, why not? There's enough room for everybody.
Review - Toss: tosses us around instead of holding us on edge
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
If a film about lost money is 2.5 hours long, all you want yell is "show me the money…already!" Greed and deceit replace friendships in this thriller in quite an inhumane fashion.
Review - Traffic Signal: Such is life
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
It is another slice-of-life with a touch of humor. Traffic Signal highlights the fact that even basti-dwellers have their aspirations, not necessarily acceptable as the "right" priorities. I liked the direction and the screenplay. The climax takes the cake, creating an impact without fuss.

Review - Tum Mile: Miss this appointment, you'll survive
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
Love, calamity, death all taken way too casually in a drab, still-life sort-of a way. Its unexciting, its slow. But a strong lady character is good because its rare in Hindi films. Little solace that is, though.
Review - U Me Aur Hum: Thought-provoking yet over-sentimental

Rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD
Running Time: 165 minutes
U Me aur Hum: A sensitive, stimulating aur sappy theme with romantic, idealistic aur mushy characters who have thoughtful, filmy aur repetitive lines.
Review - Ugly aur Pagli: Starts slow, gets slower, and “Boom!” - it's over!
By: meetu
Running Time: 120 minutes
The mysteries of love, and the things it makes you do, are not so easy to articulate. As we find out in Ugly aur Pagli. The uneven pace kills this time.

Review - Vaada Raha: promises sappy, cheesy boredom
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 110 minutes
There isn't much a cute kid with decent acting skills can do with sentimental lines and gone-mental screenplay. The overall plot is uber-predictable. And how the film gets there is as mechanical as it can get.
Review - Valkyrie: For Honour and the Fatherland
By: Anand S
Running Time: 120 minutes
A historical with multiple characters and an intricate conspiracy plot that tend to clutter up the movie. Serious adult drama with no histrionics.
Review - Valu ( Marathi ): Simple and witty, but patience required
By: meetu
Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 120 minutes
Valu takes you to the interiors of rural Maharastra with its adorable characters and their wit. It is a slow yet charming watch. However, you could get lost in translation if you don't understand the language.
Review - Veer: Tomfoolery with aesthetics
By: meetu

Running Time: 170 minutes
I don't know about bravery and courage, but I recognize the attempt in making an epic entertainer and I see partial success. Unfortunately, only partial. And yet, Salmaniacs can rejoice!
Review - Via Darjeeling: Lost in translation from script to screen

The broad concept is truly intriguing but the basic story is like a balloon losing air...*phuuussss*
Review - Victory: match predictable ball by ball
By: meetu

What an achievement! The ball is made to bounce like a yo-yo on an extremely flat pitch. But, the good news is Hurman has begun to act!
Review - Videsh: makes home in mind and heart
By: meetu
Running Time: 100 minutes
Preity's brilliant act & Deepa's execution play with gray cells. An out-of-the-box approach to domestic violence and superstition in the form of symbolism is thrown in too.
Review - Wake Up Sid: Romance-in' Mumbai
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
Opposites attact, they say. But even the opposites had something similar that keep them together, for each other, and maybe even for ever. Similarities or differences - celebrate whatever it is that is the cause of your love. A chick flick that's not only for chicks.
Review - Wanted: By the Salman, Of the Salman & for Salman
By: meetu
Running Time: 150 minutes
The post Salman cost is then spent on action. What then remains is for the rest of the cast and crew. And I wouldn't be surprised if the script was a donation by an unskilled well-wisher.

Review - Water: Meaningful story fails to create impact
By: meetu

Running Time: 120 minutes
A good plot and excellent acting gets marred by a not-so-tight script. The interdependecies between the characters are not sketched out in detail. And overall, the movie does not make an impact.
Review - Welcome: Bad writing, worse execution

One contrived situation follows another. Each scene outdoes the previous one in defying your belief in any kind of sense. No amount of good acting can help save the careless writing.
Review - Welcome to Sajjanpur: A refreshing refresher on the situation in rural India

Serious issues that plague the life of villagers are presented with clever sarcasm. The style of narration is a bit artificial but makes for an interesting watch.

Rating: Catch on DVD for sure
Running Time: 210 minutes
This one is a complete package for Ms. Chopra lovers. The rest - story / songs / execution - all are just about o-kay. And mainly because it requires this WARNING! It is all of 3.5 hours. An option is to treat is as 2 proper length films or 12 short films
Review - Y M I - Yeh Mera India: Balances diversity
By: meetu
Running Time: 130 minutes
A day in the life of Mumbai. Its ups, downs and in-betweens are handled with care, sensitivity and yet shows the filth that needs to be cleaned up to make this a better place to live in. Despite this it remains a be-as-it-may, this is home and I love it.
Review - Yuvvraaj: Majestic canvas coated with saccharine and sprinkled with flimsy plot
By: meetu
Running Time: 165 minutes
Preachy lines about family bonding and brotherly love are doze-worthy especially considering you have almost 3-hours of time to squeeze a snooze in.
Review - Zhak Marli Baayko Keli: Strong wife but whiny
By: meetu
Running Time: 135 minutes
A very valid point about 'losing face' and facing social stigma is raised. But it's too long and long-windedly preachy to hold interest through the end.
Review - Zhenda: A candid peek into dirty politics
By: meetu
Running Time: 110 minutes
Whether or not you have a political opinion; whether or not you are actively involved in politics; you are certainly affected by what goes on in the political parties. This is a gutsy view of the current behind-the-scene in Maharashtra. Strong dialogue, serious material and yet not preachy - we are exposed to a part of what makes this world filthy - good ol' dirty politics.
Review - Zor Laga Ke Haiya: Boring speech for kids
By: meetu
Rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Running Time: 95 minutes
The new age schools certainly do a better job of making environment education more fun than this kids' film! And of sensitizing them to issues like poverty too. Very in the face and forcefully shoves values down your throat.
