Review: Woodstock Villa
Hansal Mehta's latest (non) effort is nothing more than a painful choreOriginally published on NOWRUNNING.COMImagine a near-empty movie hall. A few people sat shifting in their seats at the back of the theatre- muttering and sulking, waiting for Woodstock Villa to end. Away in the front rows sat I, howling with laughter. Movies like Woodstock Villa... more...

First Look: Kismat Konnection
Originally published on PASSIONFORCINEMA.COMAziz Mirza is back. Okay, Chalte Chalte was a damp squib- but that shouldn’t stop us from looking forward to his next release after quite some time. The first look of Kismat Konnection is out, and hey, it doesn’t look bad at all.Thankfully, neither does its lead actress, the gorgeous but sartorially-chall... more...

Review: Bhoothnath
Vivek Sharma's Bhoothnath chugs along pretty fine, until it inexplicably decides to become Baghban Revisited. (The second half of the film is probably meant for the naughty kids in the audience who need a spanking, but then, no kid deserves to be subjected to such torture, really)Originally published on NOWRUNNING.COMTill now, I had my suspicions a... more...

Promo Watch: Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
The promos of prolific writer Abbas Tyrewala's directorial debut leave a nice impressionThe 'first-look' promo of Abbas Tyrewala's directorial debut is one of the cutest and best teasers for a Hindi film that I have seen in a long time- it totally took me by surprise!

Review: Tashan
Vijay Krishna Acharya's directorial debut doesn't quite succeed, but the tongue-in-cheek film isn't as brain-dead as it seems. More Jhoom Barabar Jhoom than Dhoom:2, you might want to give this ambitious meta-movie a chance if you didn't mind JBJ too muchOriginally published on NOWRUNNING.COMTashan’s got balls.

Review: Hope & A Little Sugar
So much for the dainty-sounding title- Tanuja Chandra's sugary-titled latest is- well, rather hopelessOriginally published on NOWRUNNING.COMTanuja Chandra, probably the most prolific female director in Bollywood today, is a name that arouses reluctant admiration.

What I Loved in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
Shaad Ali's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom sank last year, perhaps more than a tad overcriticised for a whimsical, jolly film that didn't really take itself too seriously.The film itself wasn't really memorable, but what didn't leave me after watching it was this beautiful song sequence in it- almost a film within a film, and most definitely, an enchanting lo... more...
