Baladur (Telugu) 4/10
2008-09-01 10:44

Formula film with family sentiments. After mother, sister, brother, father and bhabhi its now the turn of uncle sentiment. Weak and predictable story where only Venkatesh could have done some justice with his comic timing. Unwanted fight sequences and non-humorous sequences drag the movie too long. Anushka is voluptuous and is only in the movie for glamor sake. Superstar Krishna basing cronies in the climax was a bit too much to digest! Extra star for Anushka's rain song!

Subramaniapuram (Tamil) 6/10
2008-09-01 09:18

Rustic realism that hits you hard! The debutant director who also acts as one of the characters in the film has done an awful amount of homework on the styling and look of the film. It really give you a 80s feel as you are teleported to the hamlet of Subramaniapuram. Tight story line, good screenplay and brilliant direction. Good performances by all and the 'Kangal Irundal' sing takes the cake!

God Tussi Great Ho 2/10

How bad can it get? you wonder and as the movie progresses it surpasses your own levels of idiocy. Horrible use of CGI and a screenplay that could have been written only by a guy on crack. One of the worst climaxes in recent times and you wonder how one could have even shot it. Bruce Almighty was no great film, but it was funny in parts. Salman looks bored and sleepy throughout, and I'm not even gonna talk about the rest. Sad to see the ever stunning Priyanaka Chopra in this film, but she is the reason for the extra star.

Bachna ae Haseeno 6/10
2008-08-24 11:13

Finally something watchable from the YRF stables and when three women sizzle on screen there's not much a guy can ask for. The opening song itself sets the tone though some parts could have been edited esp the cliched climax. Minissha looked too old for her role and that was my only peeve.
0.3
Big Stan 4/10
2008-08-24 11:05

Actors don't necessarily make good directors. Rob Schneider looks old and tired as a real estate agent turned prisoner. This movie seems like a poor spin-off on Adam Sandler's 'The Longest Yard', but that was class and this sadly isn't. Prison-fornication seems to be the base for the film and that isn't funny anymore. I understand that prisoners get stressed but then turning gay and screwing each other isn't funny!
0.3
College Road Trip 4/10
2008-08-24 10:41

Was mislead by the title and it turns out to be a family movie with Martin Lawrence playing an over protective father. Even the few college scenes are boring and fail to evoke any laughter. Martin Lawrence could have been another Will Smith but is reduced to such roles.
0.3
Be Kind Rewind 5/10
2008-08-24 10:37

A novel concept wherein a bunch of guys re-shoot popular films and rent them at their video store. A sweet tale where a small hamlet gears up to shoot films and save an old block from being taken over. Not quite what I expected from a jack black movie, and hence a bit disappointed. Watch it for the creativity though!

Drillbit Taylor 4/10
2008-08-24 09:41

A bunch of bullied kids hire a homeless guy as a bodyguard. I watched it only coz it had Owen Wilson, but he just sleepwalks through the role and looks bored and tired.The comedy was more like in the face and forces a few quips, but most of it is drab and you long for it to finish!

Singh is Kinng 5/10
2008-08-10 13:14

Poor attempt at cashing in on an actors popularity and just assembling a few sequences around it. Katrina look fantabulous and that itself justifies ticket. Few sequences are funny but the 'acha insaan' changing a bunch of goons is too saccharine. Akshay is flamboyant in his village bumpkin role but the praise ends there.
0.3
The Dark Knight 8/10
2008-08-09 18:54

Had to watch it fro the second time on the IMAX screen, after failing to hear anything on opening night. Brilliant? Yes, but the best movie ever? I'd disagree. Certainly a very gripping tale that has you at the edge of your seat. But slightly overrated to tout it as the best ever! At times, you actually want the joker to escape, just so that you can see his next sinister move. Fantastic performances by all except the female lead who looked super ugly on the big screen. It's hard to believe two debonair gentlemen fall for her.
0.3
Kuselan (Tamil) 5/10
2008-08-06 17:52

Not a Superstar film, but unwanted masala elements killed the spirit of the original. Most of the scenes look like patchwork and seem to be shot and added in haste. Some sequences don't gel with the plot and fail to evoke response even from the benches. A very confused attempt with jarrish effects and a desperate effect to cash in on the superstars image. The last 20 mins are watchable when the Superstar emotes like never before.

Mission Istanbul 3/10
2008-08-03 18:48

Could be called 'Kahani AajTak, Mountain Dew aur Lays ki'. Watched it only for a glimpse of Shriya Saran despite the absurd screenplay and irritating smile of Vivek Oberoi. A mishmash of chase sequences and fights with Suniel Shetty playing producer and a guest role. Somebody needs to stop Abhishek from becoming the male version of Rakhi Sawant, too many item songs!

Pandurangadu(Telugu) 4/10
2008-07-28 18:46

Overtly sensual first half bordering on being vulgar. The story picks up some momentum only in the second half. The music is good and the lyrics do manage to invoke the 'Bhakti' quotient. Balakrishna's best role in his career so far and looks convincing as Lord Krishna. Mohan Babu in a cameo which I wished lasted longer than two scenes. On the whole a weak storyline, also it was stretched a tad too long.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan 4/10
2008-07-25 18:00

Sandler type middle-eastern comedy that relies on weird stereotypes. Some of the Israeli-Palestine references were good but the humus and fornication scenes were a bit too much. Not as bad as 'The Love Guru' though...
0.3
The Love Guru 3/10
2008-07-24 18:53

Crude, crass and cheap humor. Pushing the stereotypes a bit too much. Austin powers was cult but this is sadly depressing. I can tolerate the so-called-desi humor but seeing two elephants fornicating is not my idea of comedy!

Kismat Konnection 4/10
2008-07-23 20:03

Poor man's SRK finds a i-love-social-work type aunty to bring him luck. Mr.Disney Hour, Juhi Chawla and Om Puri succeed in putting you to sleep.
0.3
Kung Fu Panda 6/10
2008-07-21 21:20

Nice and lovable story with big names doing the voice over. Genuinely funny without trying to be slapstick unlike some Kung Fu movies. Plenty of lessons like for example, 'turning your greatest weakness into your greatest strength'.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na 7/10
2008-07-08 21:00

A sweet and simple movie with everyday sequences and a generous helping of cinematic liberty thrown into the mixture. Great cameos by Naseerudin Shah and the Khan brothers Sohail and Arbaaz.

Love Story 2050 3/10
2008-07-07 22:05

A horrendous debut by a Hrithik clone with 5 fingers. The movie had everything going wrong, be it the clothing, campy effects, songs, absurd storyline and a star-wars-meets-fifth-element climax.

The Incredible Hulk 5/10
2008-07-06 21:17

Definitely better than the previous installment, and the action was pulsating. I'm however tired of such predictable comic movies and the whole abomination sequence was boring.

One man's ego forces him to make a movie with 10 roles that tries to hit upon every issue from religion to technology to casteism to tsunami. The screenplay and audience are left to suffer.

Jimmy 1/10
2008-06-04 21:05

It is probably the only film in recent times where everything right from the banner to the ending credits is outright horrible. It actually is a modern day marvel to dish out such a poorly done film with so much technology available.

Jodha Akbar 6/10
2008-02-21 21:08

A grand spectacle that is worth its hype in gold. Breathtaking sets, jewelery and costumes. Crisp camera work and great music. My only problem being, it was too long and saccharine.

Bheema 4/10
2008-02-04 21:55

Idol worship turns into gay love. Another one-man-army story with an interesting climax. The one-sided love sequences were pretty boring music being the only saving grace.
0.3
Kaalai 4/10
2008-02-04 21:52

Starts of interestingly but then turns out to be a revenge story with a village setting. All the actors look confused but the Roachstar sings one of the most cheesiest and catchy songs in recent times.
0.3
Vaazhthugal 5/10
2008-02-04 21:32

Formula film where boy tries to woo the girl's rigid family and the patriarch in particular. Clean family entertainer, but devoid of any laughable moments and heavily sleep inducing.

Became famous for the wrong reasons, and a disaster for Sanjay Bhansali. Non-existent storyline and a really boring screenplay drags for eternity. Fantastic sets and great music being the only things worth writing about. Impressive debut for Ranbir, sorry Sonam.
