A chance encounter with an 80's movie gets me laughing and nostalgic and being thoroughly entertained.
Movie Review: Tridev
Kiddy Movie Reco: Turbo
We LOVE animated movies in this household. Especially about all sorts of creatures you normally wouldn't encounter in your day to day life or even if you did, you wouldn't give them a second thought. Turbo falls into the second category. The story of a garden snail who dreams of the Indy 500 and his... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Rustom
It's good to watch movies. Good or bad. Gives one an idea about the kind of things film makers are thinking about and if they do have the pulse of their audience. With Rustom they succeeded in breaking out of the run-of-the-mill Bollywood masala grist and yet failed to craft a taut film that makes... Continue Reading →
Under Siege- Always A Good Idea
Most movie reviews start with a title that lets you know that there's a review coming your way. Mine hasn't done that. Tough. Steven Seagal may be bloated and a Putin-loving, firearms-promoting Buddhist but many, many, many years ago he was slightly attractive (to Moi) and was kicking ass in his own minimalistic way. I...

Movie Review-Captain America: Civil War
It's been AGES since I saw a movie on the same day it released. Probably not since 04 but then that's too far into the past for me to dredge up the when and wherefores. I generally enjoy the offerings from the Marvel universe. Captain America is the typical boy scout but he's easy on... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Diwale
It's not the worst movie I've ever seen and neither will it be. Am sure I'm fated to see much, much worse. But Dilwale was a bit loose compared to the usual Rohit Shetty fare IMHO. And while it makes zero since to critique an out and out potboiler from Bollywood, one must undertake... Continue Reading →
Movie Review- Tamasha
I went and saw Tamasha yesterday. And here's why I liked it: Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor work. Totally work. Their chemistry is palpable. Helps that Kapoor isn't an aging Khan and an actual contemporary of the lead actress; playing his own age. Corsica is beautiful. And the fact that they moved away from Capri... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Singh Is Bling
I say this with every bit of sincerity I possess: there's a special place reserved in HELL for Prabhu Deva for making this movie. I am not a snob about my movies. I prefer the light-hearted ones to the somber ones, that's true but this movie was boring and it's cliches had cliches and barring... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Welcome Back…Erm Don’t
Yup, that's right. Welcome Back should have at rider attached to it- DON'T! Where the first movie wasn't a shoo-in for the comedy of the year award, it was still entertaining and doesn't fail to elicit chuckles on reruns on tv. But the sequel has a couple of things which make it one of the... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Get Hard
I seldom get around to watching new movies while they are still new. But atleast I got to this movie before a new calendar year started. And why is that important? Because I laughed until I wheezed, gasped and cried after a really, really long time. And that, in my book, is priceless! So the movie... Continue Reading →
