• Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal:

  "Goal" is fairly entertaining. Its tells its story in a simple, non-preachy manner. The rootless feeling among Asians leaving in an alien land is quite well-reflected - they feel unwanted and unloved. Football is their ticket to acceptance and success. True, the racism angle is handled in an amateur fashion, but we can overlook a few shortcomings because on the whole "Goal" is a feel good film which will get you smiling. John Abraham is absolutely the right choice for the role, ably supported by Arshad and Bomman. Bipasha is wasted, though she and John do have some very sweet moments together. Definitely worth a watch.

• No Smoking:

  "No Smoking" is stunning!!! What "K" comes to in the end - an "empty" man without a soul, perhaps more content/at peace because he has given up his individuality, his ego - is that not what we as a society have become nowadays? So insensitive to everything, so willing to accept society's dictates, so willing to compromise on everything. Anurag Kashyap has given us a dark and sombre puzzle to ponder on. What a pity that everyone is tearing him apart for making a film they could not understand - have they ever bothered to stop and analyze what the film maker was trying to say? The last ten inutes of the film are the most haunting, tragic, and disturbing - sadly, this was the part where most people were giggling and asking what the hell was going on! John Abraham was superb in the film - so convincing, the anguish is his eyes when his "soul" is being "washed"/going up in smoke is heart-wrenching.
