I was hyped for RANN ever since the films original movie promo’s came out. Ram Gopal Varma reuniting with Amitabh Bachchan after the brilliant SARKAR RAJ. I’ll be clear from the outset, RANN isn’t quite the masterpiece I was expecting, however in saying that this is still a must-see for a number of reasons. [...]

I enjoyed Aswhin Dhir’s ONE TWO THREE, granted the story was weak, but the humour was superb in parts, and Paresh, Tusshar and Suniel gave some funny performances.
With a bigger script, better budget and bigger cast, Ashwin Dhir gets all the ingredients right with his second film and delivers a winner. The initial misconception [...]
Reader’s digest conducted a poll for the top 100 reliable Indians. Here are the results. As much as I am pleased with the number 1 position, I am as displeased with the no 100 position. How could no 100 be syonymous with “reliability’!For that matter, a few more had me lift my eyebrows – 99,96,29,72, [...]
Teen Patti flopped at box-office with 6 Crore first week. Movie is not going to add much from second week onwards. Life time business should wrap under 7-8 Crore. Verdict : Flop
The other day I was browsing on the internet and came across some pictures of Rekha attending a bash hosted by Reliance big wig Anil Ambani in Mumbai. The south Indian beauty looked astoundingly beautiful in a black saree, her chiseled face glowing and her raven tresses gleamed under the lights. I read that she [...]
It’s somewhat heartening to see SRK embrace “Social Media” as a part of his marketing strategy as the medium certainly has power to keep on-going conversation and influence going as well..I think Bollywood is an industry which could revolutionize marketing of the medium is embraced and used properly…

Mr Bachchan, the King of diamonds has pulled another ace from up his sleeve.Just when I think Mr Bachchan has performed his best, he raises the bar and out does himself. Teen Patti pivots more so around Mr Bachchan’s finesse as an actor, the story is a far second. Mr Bachchan plays the role of [...]
I’d heard a lot about THE HURT LOCKER and was expecting some sort of a “masterpiece”. The film isn’t quite the masterpiece I was expecting, but is still a rewarding and thought-provoking movie-going experience!
Hollywood has produced countless of “War or Iraq” movies and the theme by now has been over-done becoming some sort of a [...]
Saw FROM PARIS WITH LOVE last night, not a patch on the director’s earlier film TAKEN, but this is still a fun, old-fashioned BUDDY movie in Shane Black mode(scribe of LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, DIE HARD LAST BOYS SCOUT and director of KISS KISS BANG BANG). First half is awesome (bit of TRAINING DAY mode) with [...]
After a classic like THE DEPARTED I was somewhat surprised that Scorcese had gone for this horror/thriller for his next film with Leonardo DiCaprio. Grasping the concept of this movie is a no brainer. There is a mystery on this island filled with crazy people, but you can tell that there is a lot more [...]
PAA was a sensation, RANN tanked!!!! TEEN PATTI looks awesome with a killer cast including Ben Kingsley and Madhavan..will you see this in cinema?
[polldaddy poll="2737007"]
Mix of results, though as expected MY NAME IS KHAN got 48% of the votes, followed by Striker with 13%. TEEN PATTI and ROAD MOVIE both got 9.6%, with KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK at 8.4%. Surprisingly both LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA and ATITHI TUM KAB JAOGE were both at the lower end though I think both [...]
I remember when I got my first Sony Walkman and listened to the first audio tape on it. I listened to MJ’s Thriller album and watched the Thriller video countless times thereafter. In fact, I remember every single video of MJ’s since his ” Off the wall days”. As kids we would try to do [...]
I have been an avid follower of Mr Bachchan’s blogs ever since he opened up a small space of his world to the outside. His blogs have allowed millions of fans worldwide to get a peek into his immaculate style of writing, his sense of humor and above all his intelligence. His writing style in [...]

Those that know me well will know that I’m no advocate for Shahrukh Khan, I’ve found the latter part of his career lagging in many ways. Nor am I a huge fan of Karan Johar’s brand of cinema which comes off more artificial than not. Heck I prefer his productions like KAL HO NA [...]
Rann, could not have come at a better time. It has come at a time when the quality of news has reached an all time nadir.The movie covers the fallacies of the media moguls and the empires that they operate within. It has touched a nerve on the sensitivities of the last link in the [...]
Once upon a time, four hundred years ago in the Kingdom of Udhayagad lived Kala Bhairava, the chief protector of the Kingdom and a loyal subject. Bhairava is a brave warrior who excels in the mechanics of war fare and is an expert rider. He is the Gladiator and the Benhur of the Udhayagad Kingdom [...]
There is no business like show business, an adage that holds good from time immemorial. Jay Leno is one such man who fits the bill of being a great showman and the Americans absolutely love him. NBC has had Jay Leno from early 1992 when he replaced the temperamental Johnny Carson. Thanks to the advent [...]
Kudos to Radikaa Sarathkumar for fighting off the pirates and pulling this one off! Mrs Radikaa Sharathkumar, the creative head of Radaan Media along with her husband Mr Sharathkumar were shattered when an illegal version of the under production film “Jaggubhai” ( starring Sharathkumar ) found its way on the internet a few weeks back.
