...an inspirational tale told with as little fuss and as much feeling as cinematically possible.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...is worth the price of your ticket and more. It's a film that almost gets everything right. Highly Recommended.

...if what you expect is an out-an-out comic entertainer, you'll be disappointed.

I Hate Luv Storys
You may not be a great fan of candy floss cinema, but do watch "I Hate Luv Storys"... it's refreshing.

Raavan
...constantly seeks out the dark recesses in its characters' heart. It does fall short in some of its emotional moments. But who said that a film about such fatally flawed people had to be picture-perfect?

Raavan
...a confusing watch. For one, the script is filled with several flaws. Two, the antagonist is portrayed as a protagonist, due to which you neither hate him nor like him. Three, some of the events that take place in the film are hard to digest...

Raajneeti
...not just a film that opens up the tattered edges of Indian politics. It dares to walk right into the muck with restraint, vigour and some sensitivity.

...requires a bit of patience. Watch it without any distractions and you might just about like it.

Bumm Bumm Bole
...a gentle but persuasive piece of work, not just for children -- though certainly about children who learn fast about the harsh realities of life.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
...is one of those films that should not have happened. It is way too strained in concept and far too outlandish in execution.

Badmaash Company
...an extremely smart and smart-looking film. But its sassy all-knowing tone cannot hide a certain bankruptcy of genuinely inventive ideas.

Badmaash Company
...is at its core a very 'Bollywood' film. Had much potential to be a mass entertainer, tragically though, the second half is a major let down.

Chase
...never quite overcomes the cheesy impulse, moving from one absurd episode to another, not quite the pacy thriller that one would think the introductory chase would lead us into.

Housefull
Story, sense, meaning... you won't find any of it in Housefull. Yet the film works, majorly because the situations are funny and the performances are top notch.

City Of Gold
...not only marks the return of a storyteller who tells it like it is, without the comfort of shortcuts. It's also a macroscopic look at people who populate the fringes. Their silent protests are seldom heard in cinema.

Apartment
...reads like a frighteningly disembodied episode, neither passionate nor bloody enough to qualify as a genuine slasher flick, of a television mini-series built around the theme of suburban loneliness.

Apartment
Mundra's message about urban professional's choice of sharing their space with strangers is true and interesting but his efforts in the movie are juvenile and vague.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Don't expect to be swept off your feet. This one is meant to tickle your fancy. And it doesn't fall short.

The Japanese Wife
It is not often that you see films that you can truly call a labour of love, and even if that is its undoing- there is no question about the fact that this one is straight from the heart.

Sadiyaan
...is yet another snob that has hardly anything to offer. Don't bother watching.

Pankh
...do not have any entertainment value and it could not be completely passed as an art film. Works in bits but not for the faint hearted.

The Great Indian Butterfly
...is perhaps 'wonderful to imagine and easy to fall in love with' but ultimately 'a little fantastic and fleeting and out of reach'.

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
Just for the pleasure of watching Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia together, this quaint and sincere look at love across three generations is well worth a 'dekko'.
