You don't have to be a feminist to argue that in Hindi Cinema women often get a raw deal. They are generally reduced to dancing in the Alps in a crepe saree, heckled by goons before the hero takes them to the cleaners, abducted and tied to a chair in the villains lair, or my favorite part rain songs!

Despite getting requests for similar lists in Tamil and Telugu, we chose to refrain because those lists would go into multiple parts.

Another year crawls to an end and that means it is time we looked back at the fruits, our beloved Hindi cinema gave us. With everyone compiling their own lists of the best movies of the year and arguing over their choices, we prefer to ignore them. We aren't going to squabble over why Kaminey was a better movie than

Who else in the world would be insane enough to go watch a movie that claims its protagonists to be idiots.A friend argued with me that the movie was going to be a dramatic sketch about kids suffering from acute idiocy and how they cope up

Ranbir 'Rocket' Kapoor just cant seem to set foot in the wrong direction and is in the form of his life! Much like the purple patch of Rahul Dravid in Australia or Sachin's desert storm in Sharjah. Well that might have been a little over the hilt, but then the guy is making awesome choices. From playing a cad

This week saw the release of probably the most awaited movie of the year, Radio. Before you hack me with a chainsaw, let me elucidate on that a bit. It might not be the most awaited movie on earth, but on the planet Himesus it was the most awaited alright. Now many may chose to ridicule the movie even

Dear Paa,
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the words, 'Daavar seth aaj bhi main phenke hue paisa nahin utatha ' or 'Pandrah sau rupiyah ki pagaar mein ghar nahin chalta toh imaan kaise chalega, Gaitonde saab?

We generally try not to give away the plot and thrust our opinions on people and be unbiased, but then there are exceptions. The weird thing being that, the stuff that I find trashy is sometimes received so well by others that it just boggles me. But then who cares, for after all the internet is

The weekends are getting better with better stuff to look forward to at the cinemas on Friday evenings. While not the best to hit the screens this year, Wake up Sid still makes the cut especially taking into account the production house it belongs to.
