Ekk Deewana Tha Movie Review
If God lies in the details then "Ek Deewana Tha", Tamil-Telugu director Gautham Menon's first Hindi film in 11 years, makes it all the way to the church. But hang on with those bells. Indeed courtship is treated as a religion in this intense take on that thing called love. The romantic situations though weather-beaten and seen in scores of films, exudes a sincerity and a …

Force Review
A raw rugged cop's tale of vicious vendetta fused into a tender romance seems like a hard act to live up to. But Nishikant Kamat, seeking inspiration from a hit Tamil film "Kaakha Kaakha" manages just fine. He gets incredible support from dialogue writer Ritesh Shah, who infuses every exchange on love (with the girl who won't take no for an answer) and war (against drug peddlers) …

Hello Darling
What is it all about? Honestly, this comedy on male chauvinism had enough potential to ensure a decent run but the 2010 inspiration of the 1994 Kamal Hassan starrer ‘Magalir Mattum’ which in fact was inspired by Jane Fondas’ 1980 laughter ‘9 to 5’ is a tasteless chewing gum which lacks originality, humor, and any semblance of charm. The story……of course The writers Pankaj …

Once Upon A Time a throwback to gangsterism …
Film: “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai”; Starring: Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi,Randeep Hooda, Kangna Ranaut, Prachi Desai; Directed by: Milan Luthria; It’s the way he looks at the camera. Almost as if it doesn’t exist. Ajay Devgn as Sultan Mirza is NOT Haji Mastan, please note. He’s just this Robin Hood in the 1970s who happened to be a smuggler and who at some point in the taut …

‘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 …
