‘Thanks Maa’ romantic homage to Mumbai
He’s 12, homeless and he refuses to adopt the swaggering amorality of his friends on the street. They call him Municipal Ghatkopar because that’s the address where he was dumped as a child. But he prefers to be known as Salman Khan. Strongly reminiscent of Mira Nair’s “Salaam Bombay” and far more resonantly representative of Mumbai’s slum kids than “Slumdog Millionaire”, …

‘Atithee..’ a one-episode sitcom
Be Ajay Devgan’s guest. So many films about the guest as an intruder. But this one takes the creak. And yes we do mean creak. The plot sets out to portray the ‘bin bulaye mehmaan’, or uninvited guest, as a pest rather than a guest and finally spends agonizing playing time portraying him as a messiah in a dhoti. Trust Paresh Rawal to get into the skin of his character. From …

‘Right Yaaa Wrong’ – is the right choice
Don’t breathe. Don’t dare even blink. And please forget that visit to the loo. Damn, even the bag of popcorn will be forgotten on your clenched lap. “Right Yaaa Wrong” is the surprise shocker of the year. If you’ve forgotten that jump-out-of-the-seat feeling then it’s time to nudge it awake again. Debutant director Neerraj Pathak deserves a welcoming salute. He puts together …

world Cupp 2011 - Goal Without Soul
Coming an extra p (read plea), ‘World Cupp (their spelling not mine) 2011’, this Bollywood goal without a soul makes this reviver begging to flee. Adding looooooose element of pride, honour and nationality from the SRK starrer ‘Chak De’, this launch ad (my spelling for show reel launches) for another ankoor in the family of Bollywood Kapoors Ravi this time is more soulless …

Bolo Raam - Failed to Impress
Imagine actors of the calibre of Naseruddin Shah, Om Puri and Padmini Kolhapure coming together and being a part of this worst thriller of the year which replays all the clichés, but delivers not a single of the expected guilty pleasures of a thriller. The characters are half baked, not at all established and could be dispatched in any order, and it wouldn’t make an iota …

Rocket Singh - Sales Man Of The Year
YRF last shot at the B.O. 2009 is uplifting and well performed by the ‘Chak De’ jodi of helmer, Shimit Amin and writer Jaideep Sahni. Undoubtedly the odd flick out from the YRF stamp this inspiring film about today’s competitive times is enthralling story that should win over ‘thinking’ audiences. Anyhow the absence of elements to please the fun loving audience who hate …

Bang-bang 'Aan' like extended, tiresome …
While the cop heroes sweat it out in their humid halos, the men behind the scenes also make their presence felt in rapid fire motions in the emotionless picture show that is "Aan: Men At Work". There's director Madhur Bhandarkar in his first foray into frenzied action. Big guns with bigger nozzles strut around with such exaggerated machismo that it becomes hard to tell the …
