Teraa Surroor Cast: Himesh Reshammiya, Farah Karimaee, Naseeruddin Shah, Shekhar Kapur Director: Shawn Arranha Will you be surprised if I tell you that Teraa Surroor – which, incidentally, is not a sequel to 2007 film Aap Kaa Surroor – is Himesh Reshammiya’s ninth...
Movie Review: Jai Gangaajal
Jai Gangaajal Cast: Priyanka Chopra, Prakash Jha, Manav Kaul, Ninad Kamath Director: Prakash Jha Poor villagers running around and open gypsies trailing them has become a trademark of Prakash Jha’s filmmaking. So, it doesn’t come as a jolt when the Priyanka Chopra-starrer Jai Gangaajal...
Aligarh : Manoj Bajpai packs perfection as gay professor

Movie Review: Sanam Re
Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in: With a dialogue from Godfather 3, of all things! Before you ask us what has a Godfather dialogue got to do with Sanam Re, here’s the answer. Bollywood still...
Movie Review: Fitoor
‘Inspiration’ Charles Dickens is just the first casualty. Fitoor spares no one, not Kashmir, not Delhi, not London, not artists, and not even poor Pakistan, which somehow finds its way into this tale essentially about love traversing social divides. Meanwhile, having...

Movie Review: Mastizaade
Ok, here we go. A one, a two, aaaaand, tada, Sunny Leone, she of the bountiful breasts, top-lining a film which calls itself, proudly, a sex com to beat all sex comedies. So are we to get a bouncy, squishy, panting,...

Movie Review: Chalk N’ Duster
That education should not be a business is something we all believe in. We also know just exactly how much the lure of filthy lucre has driven teaching, the noblest profession, into a corner : the `good’ teachers who want...
Movie Review: Wazir
Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar are the film’s high point There are many good things about ‘Wazir’. First off, this is a film that’s backed by writing. Look, look, a plot. Hallelujah. Such a relief after so many plotless wonders masquerading as...
Bajirao Mastani : Movie review by Prashen H. Kyawal
Bajirao Mastani : Visually Awe Inspiring, Lyrical and intriguing story with flawed narrative Bajirao Mastani is a story which very few people know about. It is a story of a worthy warrior with an incredible star-crossed love story, which sheds light...
Movie Review : Dilwale
Even Shah Rukh-Kajol chemistry cannot save this disappointingly boring film There’s something about age that does wonderful things to people. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have always had great on-screen chemistry, but the 22 years that have passed since they were...
Movie Review: Bajirao Mastani
Priyanka Chopra powers Bhansali’s dazzling but not perfect magnum opus The twirl of Mastani’s (Deepika Padukone) long, layered, utterly gorgeous beige gold kalidar kurta, the rhythmic swirl of her tall lissome figure, the fiery defiant adoration for her lover, Bajirao (Ranveer...
Movie Review : ‘Hate Story 3’
Watching this faux pas disguised as a film, one was reminded of Amrish Puri in Rakesh Roshan’s Koyla, who kept threatening his screen wife Madhuri Dixit with rough sex, but would start snoring the minute he hit the bed. The four...
Tamasha : Movie Review by Prashen H. Kyawal
Tamasha : Not a love story Imtiyaz Ali is master of convoluted love stories. His protagonists generally meet while they are travelling, they gel together as friend. When they depart, one of them feel that he/she is incomplete without the other....

Titli : Movie Review by Prashen H. Kyawal
Titli : A butterfly with grisly colours Most of us watch movies to get entertained. Sometimes, we also support realistic cinema with commercial treatments. But only few of us watch movies to appreciate different cinema. There always have been some film...
