Tanu Weds Manu and old wine is served in new bottle :)



An outgoing deshi girl vs. a shy NRI! Usually, going by Bollywood, it is a great mismatch but director Aanand L. Rai knows how to get the game going, without any fouls. TWM is an uncomplicated romantic comedy, a cool absorbing story of two dramatically different protagonists, who fall in love in conditions when they must not. Of late by nature, the amazing romance may join the league of outdated love lilies like Jab We Met, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Namastey London and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, but it certainly has its own identity, neither inspired nor copy pasted. To be precise, it’s the old good wine served in a new bright bottle. You taste it and you love it!

Considering everything good, we say you must watch Tanu Weds Manu because such family entertainers are made often, but not this brilliant way!

Satrangee Parachute is not colourful:(



Let alone the seven colours, Satrangee Parachute is a too childish story made neither for kids, nor for adults. There’s nothing even for those who may come in between. The film tries to evoke interest as it matures in parts. Sadly, it just keeps trying so, with no remarkable achievements. The script is dull and unbelievable. The performances are on an average note while the editing and background score get no takers, from the beginning through the end.

The parachute is not Satrangee, but colourless. And it doesn’t fly high, but tumbles town.

Masti Express gets derailed very often:(



When master performers like Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever team up, you certainly get ready to laugh your lung out. But then if they overdo their roles in a film which is poorly written, you hardly get ready to give it a watch. Masti Express is not fun, despite having brilliant comedians.

Masti Express gets derailed very often. Not a risk-free watch...

Kaccha Limboo is a pakka entertainer :)



Director Sagar Ballary has a genuine fondness for peculiarly different film titles. It was 2007 when he fried our Bhejas (Bheja Fry) and we laughed our lungs out. After three years, he’s back again with a Limboo that is not pakka. Yes, Kaccha Limboo is the latest title he’s in love with. The title sounds a little eerie, but it has nothing to do with jadu tona nor will it be another laughing riot or say Bheja Fry-2. Kaccha Limboo is the story of self realization divided in parts where the protagonist is not a seasoned guy, but a teenage kid. The film has been treated wonderfully, detailing every minute thing that walks around the kid’s life. Being a children’s film, Kaccha Limboo may not compete with master works like Makdee or Taare Zameen Par, but it certainly has its own flavour.

Kaccha Limboo is a pakka entertainer for both parents and children!

7 Khoon Maaf is more than just a husband-killing spree:)




The most frequently shown image of a typical Indian housewife is that she is a teetotaller, docile and submissive. To the most, she is self-sufficient or a go-getter, without leaping out her own shoes. But 7 Khoon Maaf is a fire in an ice bag. Here we have an Indian lady who has a killer instinct. She leads her own way, writes her own will and does what she thinks is right. Of course, there’s a reason behind her every action. Director Vishal Bhardwaj has a genuine brilliance when it comes to making movies based on the works of thoughtful writers. For 7 Khoon Maaf, he relies on Ruskin Bond’s Susanna's Seven Husbands, and he does it pretty well. Acting, camera work, editing, music, script, direction; everything in the film calls for kudos.

Together everything good, 7 Khoon Maaf is a real watch this weekend! And again, we expect Vishal to re do 7KM, where all the seven husbands of Susanna will club together as ghosts to disturb her. Should we think of the title “Hum Saath Nehi Chodenge”?

Aashiqui.in is not worth a hit :-(




The title is straight. This is yet another formulaic flick where two hearts meet, troubles come and then things get a happy ending. Only difference is this is today’s film where computer and internet take over all traditional forms of love communication. Today’s lovers chat through short, timely messages rather than writing love letter in a hard copy. And they do it practically well. Aashiqui.in tells this story, but it doesn’t impress us anyway. There are too many loo breaks and you end up just spending time rather than experiencing a good romantic flick.

Patiala House is worth a Patiala Peg :-)




With low downs like Tees Maar Khan, Khatta Meetha, Kambakht Ishq, we started believing growing age is killing the performance of our Akshay Kumar, but the thought goes for a leave now. ‘Patiala House’ comes with a bang that Akki is as younger as he was in Namaste London, Waqt and Jaan e Mann. Besides his star performance, Patiala House has a superbly done script, Punjabi tadka-marke music, emotionally moving scenes, thoughtful direction and everything that is different from any typical jugaad Hindi film.
