Robot
'Robot' is the kind of film that leaves you with an enthralling feeling once it ends. In fact you are almost breathless as the end credits start rolling since the action is so fast moving, energetic, imaginative and above all, well executed that you can't afford to look anywhere else but the screen. Clearly, this one is action cinema at its best and if pre-climax and climax …

‘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 …

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 …

Agyaat - So Thrill
‘Agyaat’ is bounded with cheap thrills and proves to be a lousy flick letting down the ardent buffs, who eagerly expected it. To begin with, it’s a good attempt by this scrapper who hardly believes in his film’s results. A horror-adventure, somewhat like ‘Predator’ had really knocked a high-shot on our adrenalines. Perhaps, scenarios are different once you’re before the screens. …

Sikandar - Surprice Package
Followed by deep recessions of pitiable scarcity of good stories, Bollywood is back on the stroke of big jackpot in box office. No worries for film buffs! The recent releases after long time pettifoggeries between distributors and producers have been good enough to engross us. Maybe, the most expected flicks would’ve disappointed you terribly (Kambakkht Ishq and Agyaat), but …
