Last week two relevant things happened in Mumbai. One Rahul Gandhi travelled second class with the “aam aadmi” from Andheri to Dadar and in that one stroke won over the people. Second was the face off between Matoshri and Mannat. Were the two incidents connected? Was it just Sena after Khan or was Khan used [...]

From the three Diwali releases saw neither in the theatre this year. Tatasky was playing Main Aur Mrs Khanna this week in their Showcase section so immediately subscribed for it. Was prepared for what was to come since the critics had done a good job of it. Any and every paper you picked up this [...]

Saw Love Aaj Kal recently I liked it. Socha Na Tha was coming on one of the channels and I just had to see more of this directors work. Imtiaz Ali is coming out with his own pattern and style. He works on his love stories like it is happening next door. First Socha Na [...]

Saw this on Sony this week. A delightful movie. Shahrukh Khan has done a fabulous job in essaying both Suri and Raj. What is refreshing is that when he changes from Suri to Raj he does not transform completely but only changes the look, his persona is the same from within. The audience can sense [...]

Caught this on Tata Sky this week. It was quite like Mr. Yogi a television series that I had viewed years back. The television version was better. The good thing about the movie is actor Priyanka Chopra she does her part with sincerity and you recognize her different characters even when one of them re [...]

Watching Promos of this film Kissan. Those people should be giving a public apology to Manoj Kumar for using his song from his classic Purab Paschim so badly. Another channel and a very agitated person was Ram Dev baba who was appalled by a Sach ka Samna and then at Sambhavana Seth’s cheeky comments when [...]

The other day I viewed Kate and Leopold. This movie is one where the characters transcend time. The film is a date flick. Leopold (Hugh Jackman) accidentally leaps in time from 1876 to the 21st Century here he meets Kate ably played by Meg Ryan. Due to the time incident they meet in the present [...]

New York is a film taking the repercussion of the 9/11 issue from the Muslim angle. I am proud of the fact that this has come from my country. Not all Muslims are bad and not all Muslims are terrorists. What one can do by targeting them on the basis of their religion? This film [...]
