Chalo Dilli – review


An exciting and amusing road movie with terrific moments. A light, nicely written - directed movie with an intelligent no romantic linkup between characters which makes it different from the other movies of similar genre.
Vinay Pathak acts well, Lara suits her role perfectly, Yana fails to impress in her item number and Akshay’s role is short and sweet. On the whole a good watch and yes watch it till the last seen as it has some really good information which might be useful if not aware ;)

Rio - review


An extraordinary family film about overcoming your fears and making friends, with a parallel story of love between same and different kind.
The colors are fantabulous, characters are funny and story is sweet… an amazingly thought & made animation film…
Im not writing anything else… A must watch, no matter in which D (2/3).

Arthur – review


A remake that ended up being exactly the same as the previous one with a bit more of crude comedy. A simple, straight, predictable film about a stinking rich, spoiled, drunkard kid / man who in the end understands what he want and takes a path to get it.
Few of very touching moments between Hobson and Arthur are really emotional. All characters have acted well but it’s in the shadow of the earlier make.
Watch it if you are free and have not seen the earlier make.

Fast And Furious 5 - review


Action speaks louder the words, once again Justin Lim manages to keep everyone pinned to passengers seat for over 2 gas-guzzling hrs and without any drop in testosterone level. You will never feel crushed between biceps, bullets, collapsing buildings and metal traveling… superfast…
Luke and Dom look the same, sound the same and — despite starting at testosterone-fuelled loggerheads — they even end up wanting more or less the same… it sometimes make you wonder, do they need a room… their clashes seem like a throwback to the '80s action oeuvre, it even takes you to an era where musclebound tough guys use to solve problems with their fists…
This is high-octane, supercharged stuff with hardly any minute of low volt… either a car crash, or maybe Dwayne Johnson with a machine gun and a scowl… It ended up with my inner 12-year-old clapping along with goofy, wide-eyed appreciation.

Dum Maro Dum – review

Set on the backdrop of Goa ‘Dum Maro‘Dum’ is an interesting thriller. Fast pace, mystery, suspense makes it a good watch. At times it will bring you to the edge of your chair, and what more to say, dont want to break the suspense... 

Each actor fits its character. Zoey represent Goa itself, a child of the hippy generation, a mix of local and foreign culture, innocence and beauty have gradually been replaced by cynicism and abuse. DJ Joki, a mute spectator representing Goan common man who never raises voice against anything wrong. Abhishek Bachchan perfectly fits the cop but Deepika’s dance number is disappointing.
After a long time a good thriller. Go watch it.

F.A.L.T.U -- review


The movie tries to raise some valid questions about our education system like Taare Zaameen Par and 3 idots but is not class apart. It’s a normal movie with some comedy… though hard to spot…
It has 2 things to look for… 1st title “F.A.L.T.U” and songs… very nicely composed and choreographed… its an average movie that you can relax at home and watch…

The Adjustment Bureau - review

A story of a man suffering of paranoia OR are we really being monitored by a benign conspiracy? It’s about how he makes decisions, proves free will, conquer challenges for the love of his life.
Thought provoking movies that remind us of how we make choices, compromises and to say: “All I have are the choices I make, and I choose her, come what may.”
Adjustment bureau had everything. Sci-fi, mystery, drama, romance and twists and turns but It’s not a movie to be taken seriously though has an interesting idea at its core.

Source Code - review


It’s about conspiracies, altered minds and altered states; a science flick getting its basic plot from few previous tried and tested sources…
There begins a trial and error rescue mission — not to save the train itself, but to identify the culprit and avert a looming second attack. CONFUSED??? Don’t worry, you are not the only one… and to complicate the matters, you have only 8 minutes…
If you are idle with nothing else to do and looking for a movie themes of mystery, drama and science fiction, then Source Code should be at the top of your list.
