Delhi Belly review
It is a cliche as old as this nation - of the many Indians that breathe under one India, Indian cinema has hardly been representative of even a few of these.

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 …

Khatta Meetha’, a satirical swipe at corruption …
Film: “Khatta Meetha”; Starring: Akshay Kumar, introducing Trishna Krishnan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda; Directed by: Priyadarshan; First things first. This is not, repeat not, a comedy.

Love Aaj Kal - Full Of Love And Romance
When your previous film was a runaway success, how does one shoulder the burden of it? We’ll suggest in Imtiaz Ali’s style. Love Aaj Kal begins with how a Boy and Girl meet, have a breezy year long affair and then decide to go for a break-up and to top that they have a break-up party.

3 Idiots - A dazzling spectacular treat
Bravo! Bollywood smartys had done it again. The invincible Rajkumar Hirani goes more ‘hearty’ and less ‘arty’ this time to give us a witty and touching look at life and makes a befitting comment at the mad rat race we are in where the quotient of success is measured with a materialistic tape without giving the call of your heart any grape. What happens when unrealistic pressures …
