Mumbai Mirror

 OK it is time for honesty.  I was pissing in my pants before I walked into the hall that was screening Mumbai Mirror.  I mean, have you seen Sachiin Joshi and the way he is looking at you on the poster???? I dare you to look at him once again.  For the benefit of those who haven’t seen the poster, I have added it to the blog.  Take a look.  Go on.  It is scarier than Gabbar Singh.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Inkaar (2013)

Lets rant out a few facts which most people will believe in provided they are sensible enough to believe in them.  Now I may be ruffling quite a few feathers when I say these things but those who know me well enough have heard me say these things in person.  So I have little to lose.  And more importantly, Sudhir Mishra seems to believe in these facts for sure.  Because he has used these facts (or clichés as I could say) very generously in Inkaar.

The Bourne Supremacy

Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) wakes up yet another day from what can only be described as a nightmare for him – flashes from the past. While this is not new to Jason, he does find some comfort in the fact that he is not alone. He has Marie (Franka Potente) who he caught up with towards the end of Identity.

The Bourne Identity

A great Espionage novel can be best described by the word “unputdownable”. Yeah I know it is a made up word and doesn’t exist. But how else would you explain the feeling of wanting to continue reading non-stop. How else would you explain the feeling of desperately wanting to turn the pages over, faster than you would normally do because you are that desperate to find out what happens in the end.

The Bone Collector

Amongst the genre of Serial Killer movies, probably one of the top ranking movies would undeniable be The Bone Collector. And it could also rank at director Phillip Noyce’s best work over the 60 odd years that he has walked the earth and over the 40 odd years that he has been in the world of direction (Can you believe that? The man directed his first when he was 19???)

Gangster Squad

Do you like Gangster Movies? Of the likes of say The Untouchables, Bonnie & Clyde a True Story etc.? You get my drift right? One that has a lead villain who you want to get into screen and kill yourself or at least put behind bars if you could. One that has one or a few good cops who are more intent in putting the gangster behind bars.

Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola

Dear Mr. Vishal Bharadwaj

I write this note to you in immense pain. When this year started 10 days back, I was hoping that MKBKM was the first movie to be released. It may have given the year a much needed kick start for good measure. But after leaving the hall around an hour back, I was actually thinking to myself that it was a good decision to move your release by a week. Actually you could have done by deferring the release for good.

Dehraadun Diary

How many more movies will Adhyayan Suman continue to torture us with before producers actually pull the stops on him? Adhyayan is a live case study of someone who has consistently gotten away with murder – this time in the literal sense of the word, he is involved with a movie that has murder as the topic. Unfortunately, it is the audience that gets killed in the bargain.

Veer Zaara

Now this is the kind of movie that reeks of Yash Chopra all the way from start to finish. And it also reeks of being written by Aditya Chopra. Because it is a larger than life and unbelievable kind of romance. The one that transcends all sorts of boundaries – in the literal sense of the word. One that can be described using the word – unrequited. Very few instances where this ten letter word can be used.

Meri Shaadi Karao

Gurdeep Mehndi (GM) : Pappa Pappa mera 21st janam din aane wala hai. (my 21st birthday is coming up) Mere liye kya gift de rahe ho? (What will you gift me?)
