| Movie Review - Gulaal Set in the fictional Rajpur town of modern-day Rajasthan, Gulaal is rife with stories of student politics, a secret local rebellion for an independent Rajputana state and love taking it forward. The meek Dileep Singh (Raj Singh Chaudhary) is an idealistic man who gets caught in the whirlpool of student politics. Bollywood gets yet another talented actor in Raj Singh Chaudhari who happens to be the co-writer of the film's story |
| Movie Review - Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge DRJ (meaning 'you'd keep on searching) makes one intensify his search to find out as to what the director was aiming at his fans. If you are looking for intelligent comedy flicks like the Amol Palekar-starrer 'Golmaal', you might as well find that your hopes are once again dashed by this film. |
| Movie Review - 13 B A film from the stable of national award winner Vikram K. Kumar, '13 B' is a sort of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun having been shot in a Bhoot backdrop. Though there aren't any genuinely frightening Hollywood-like moments, Kumar manages to infuse enough creepiness to keep us guessing. The new twist on reality television, with characters on television foretelling life and even the dialogue and gestures, somewhat beats the logic. |
| Movie Review - Karma Aur Holi Directed by Manish Gupta, 'Karma Aur Holi' looks like a film planned on the inter-relationship complexities and dark secrets of high-society folks, but the wafer-thin script, amateurish direction and shoddy performances by the lead actor make it a no-show. More 'action' can be caught sifting through TV channels than sitting through this boring flick. |
| Movie Review - Delhi 6 Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan), an NRI, returns to India to fulfill his grandmothers (Waheeda Rahman) wish of wanting to die at her ancestral home in Delhi. The whole set up is a different world to Roshan, who gets up close with the harsh realities of life in the Indian society in the form of casteism, class-family feuds, caged birds and daughters, unfulfilled dreams and the kaala bandar. |
| Movie Review - Billu Billu, a remake of Malayalam super hit Katha Parayumbol starring Mammootty, is based on the legendary Krishna-Sudama friendship story. The credits list has the name of the Bollywood Badsha SRK but be reminded that Billu is basically Irrfan Khan's film. He lives the character and deftly handles the emotional sequences. The specialty of his acting is he makes it look so natural. Go to the movie to watch an emotional drama and you might enjoy it. |
| Movie Review - Luck By Chance Farhan Akhtar, son of Javed Akhtar and who gave us the mesmerizing hit in 'Dil Chhahta Hai' a few years ago, is debuting as hero in 'Luck By Chance' that marks the directorial debut of his sister. The film is a tale of two strugglers in Sona (Konkona Sen Sharma) and Vikram (Farhan Akhtar) who come to Mumbai with the hope of becoming 'actors'. |
| Movie Review - Dev D 'Dev D' is the 13th film to be made on Sarat Chandra's famous 1917 novel and shifts Devdas to Punjab and New Delhi.' Dev, played by Abhay Deol, is the spoilt brat of a rich and powerful zameendar.' Paro, played perfectly by newcomer Mahi Gill, is the daughter of their manager.' The love and affection between the two transcends from childhood into adulthood. |
| Movie Review - Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye It's amazing how time and again Bollywood get into the same old style of film making, not bothering to even make the slightest of alterations in the basic script in order to make the film a bit more interesting to the viewers. The gorgeous Raima Sen tries her best to do justice to her role while Randeep Hooda merely appears in many costumes as if he is on a ramp-walk. Arbaaz Khan is perfect as a cheating husband. |
| Movie Review - Karzzzz Himesh's tremendous popularity amongst masses, its chartbusting musical score and the fact that it's a remake of a much-loved film will only lure masses in hordes. At the box-office, the film should fetch a thunderous start and in due course, should be amongst the biggest achievers of the year in terms of business. Reincarnation themes have a super-successful track record, right from KARZ to KARAN ARJUN to OM SHANTI OM. KARZZZZ is just a latest addition to this list. |
| Bhavana goes abroad with shooting One of the advantages of acting in non-Malayalam films is that you get to travel abroad a lot of times. |
| Simran as comedian's heroine!!! Simran is either very much impressed by the story of the film or she has become very much desperate to regain a foothold in the Tamil film industry. |
| Kavya going to Telugu soon!!! It's raining films in Kavya's case. Just when the Malayalam film industry thought that she had come to the end of her career, she went on to star in a Tamil film, which happened to be the remake of the Malayalam hit film 'CID Moosa'.
|
| Return of the Moms!!! Bollywood is suddenly becoming more and more curious to bring back heroines from semi-retirement. These actresses get married, quit the industry and go away to raise a family. Most of them return after a few years, but until now, the industry was very unkind to them. Things are dramatically changing now. Things are slightly different in the case of Malaika Arora Khan. Even when she was very much in the industry, she had got married to one of Salman Khan's siblings and had a baby. The actress is so much into fitness that she doesn't even look like she has had a baby! |
| Kaveri impressed with Jayasurya's performance... After marriage and a kid, Kaveri has now returned to Malayalam, this time only as an actress. One of her future plans includes dubbing and releasing hit Telugu films in Malayalam. 'Kangaroo' is the name of the film in which she is playing the role of the second heroine. Prithviraj and Kavya Madhavan are the lead pair. Jayasurya is the second hero. |
| Mirchi spends 1 crore for 'Chocolate' Probably for the first time in the history of Malayalam cinema, the remake rights of a film is being sold for a massive Rs 1 Crore, which is more than half the budget of a typical Malayalam film. Mirchi Movies has created this record. The production company has bought the remake rights for all the Indian languages for a massive Rs 1 Crore. Officially, this is the first time that such a high amount is being paid for the remake rights of a Malayalam film. |
| 'Happy Days' becomes popular... The year 2007 has suddenly opened the doors of Malayalam theatres to dubbed films from Andhra Pradesh. Until now, only Tamil films had a big market in Kerala. In most cases, the distributors didn't bother to dub the film in Malayalam due to similarities in the languages. But, things are changing now. Quite a number of films from Telugu had become fabulous hits in Malayalam. Initially, this was attributed to the fact that the heroines in these films were from Kerala. A number of these films had Nayantara in the lead role. But these days, even films with no Malayali stars are becoming popular in Kerala. The first in the series was 'The Hero' with Allu Arjun in the lead. |
| Asin more interested in Mumbai? Now that Nayantara is back and more powerful that even before, it looks as if Asin is more interested in switching to greener pastures in Bollywood. The actress seems to have impressed Aamir Khan a bit too much because the actor had invited her for the premiere of his production, 'Taare Zameen Par'. At the function, she was the center of attention. As far as her career in Tamil goes, the actress will soon complete her 'Dasavathaaram' commitments. Her most recent release in Tamil was with Surya, named 'Vel'. Unfortunately, the film didnâ??t do as well as the pair's previous hit 'Ghajini' did. There were talks that she had accepted a film with none other that troublesome Simbu, but that remains to be confirmed. |
| Johnny Depp in Meera Nairâ??s new film!!! The superstar of 'Pirates of the Caribbean', Johnny Depp will be starring in the lead role in Meera Nair's new film 'Shantram'. Ironically, it is turning out to be both a blessing and curse for the film, if rumors are to be believed. Meera Nair is on cloud nine ever since Depp agreed to star in the film. But, for some unknown reason, the film's shooting has come to a grinding halt. This has started rumors that the film's lead actor was behind it. Rumors are on that he wasnâ??t that pleased with the pay package that he was being offered and had decided to not cooperate. |
