Desi Kattey

Anand Kumar’s previous attempts should have made me a bit wiser and it did.  I walked into Desi Kattey expecting the worst possible storyline, a random item number that just pops up in the movie without any build up or reason and of course some really bad performances from the cast.  I was anything but disappointed – in my expectations that is.

Khoobsurat (2014) (Disney)

A 20 something eligibly girl is a physiotherapist (PT) for the Kolkata Knight Riders (defending champions of the IPL).  Apparently in the IPL, people are allowed to swarm onto the dressing room.  Once you have gotten over that minor aspect of security, you see this 20 something girl pretending to do something that is supposed to correct the injury of a star batsman Kapoor (no first names were given).

Daawat-E-Ishq

The weekend is here and it begins with an invitation from Yash Raj films.  An invitation to love / romance.  I know. I know.  That is a corny translation and I should have thought of a better one.  But Daawat-E-Ishq is exactly the kind of RomCom that deserves a corny opening line like this one.

A Walk Among The Tombstones

The good news is that Liam Neeson is back again. The better news is that this time around he isn’t chasing his tail in a predictable script that involves finding someone who has been kidnapped within 24 hours.  Or for that matter trying to save an aircraft full of passengers from impending doom.

Creature 3D (Hindi)

Have you heard the story about King Bruce and the spider? The one in which King Bruce is thrown out of his kingdom and hides in a cave.  He sees a spider that keeps falling off while building a web.  King Bruce takes inspiration from that incident.  Comes back and wins his kingdom.  The story of never giving up that has inspired a million lives.

Finding Fanny

I cannot classify Finding Fanny as a Romantic Comedy but it is one.  I cannot classify it as a satire but it is one.  I cannot classify it as a Romance movie either but it is one.  To typecast Finding Fanny under one genre of cinema would be a travesty because it has a bit of everything in it.  And therefore I will take the safe way out and put it under that ever safe genre called, “Drama”.
