I dont know how many of you will be able to (or want to) watch this movie but where Indians are concerned, this is as close to a must-see as it gets.The best things about Lagey Raho Munnabhai (LRM) is that it conveys a lot of homilies without being preachy at all.Picking up from where...

Pirates of the Caribbean-II
Been waiting for this movie since I saw the 1st one-kind of a long wait truth be told but it was worth it. In parts i.e. Johnny Depp IS Jack Sparrow. With his kohl-lined eyes, the now you see it, now you dont kind of smiles and the entire gamut of expressions that he goes... Continue Reading →
The House of a 1000 corpses

But the over-enthusiastic responses that I'd got from my pals had made me so agog. too agog I think.These are the things that I was thinking while watching it-1)Who told Ajay Devgan that being monosyllabic was the way to establish that you're the serious...

royale indeed!
the good samaritan (GS-pbuh) who'd lent me "interesting" movies to pass time while i played chowkidar at home,had given me one which was a doozy!it was hailed as being a cross between "a clockwork orange" and "lord of the flies" but i found it to resemble the latter more than the former. btw the movie...
