Movie Reviews

Page 3 (2005)

A surprisingly biting satire on Mumbai high society

Paisa Vasool (2004)

Intended "Laugh Riot" falls rather flat on its face!

One 2 ka 4 (2001)

Slick action thriller a la Lethal Weapon falls way short of the mark

Officer (2001)

Cheap reworking of Vertigo would have Hitch turning in his grave!

Nazar (2005)

dire revamp of "The Eyes of Laura Mars". More crap from the Bhatts

Nayak - The Real Hero (2001)

Politically oriented remake of South Indian hit with Anil Kapoor is all at sea

Na Tum Na Jaano Na Hum (2002)

a reasonably engaging, typical and rather old-fashioned love triangle

Naach (2004)

Another film that spurns Bollywood formula from RGV - well worth a look

Musafir (2005)

Cheap, flashy and decidedly tacky regurgitation of Oliver Stone's U-Turn

Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost (2003)

turgid, pointless and boring film with a serious Lagaan wannabe complex

Mujhse Dosti Karoge (2002)

Brilliant cast, locations and lavish production values but no decent script

Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai (2001)

Introduces Jumpin'Jack Jeetu's son Tusshar in a light romantic piffle

A bus ride to Calcutta turns into a harrowing ordeal when fanatics strike

A fresh and intelligent film, cleverly plotted and beautifully shot.

Mohabbatein (2000)

Mission Kashmir (2000)

excellent performances, a gripping plot and tight direction

Bollywoodization of My Best Friend's Wedding retains the original's spunk

Mela (2000)

Not to be taken seriously and enjoyed for what it is

Masti (2004)

Cheap Bollywood take on the American Pie genre - avoid!

Mann (1999)

Misguided attempt at a lightweight, sensitive love story.....a dud.

Mangal Pandey - The Rising (2005)

Impressively mounted historical epic - ambitious, impressive and flawed

Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003)

An updated version of Basu Chatterjee's humorous classic Chitchor

Main Hoon Na (2004)

Frothy, totally entertaining 70's style "wholesome family entertainer"

Love ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega (2001)

Not so comical reworking of Ruthless People is "time pass" material at best.

L.O.C. (2004)

More "Cold War" jingoism - hateful attempt to cash in on human tragedy

Legend of Bhagat Singh, The (2002)

commendable effort with strong direction and exceptional music

Lakshya (2004)

a bold and commendable attempt at a bit more than just another war flick

Lakeer (2004)

An excruciating ordeal of a film - three hours of pain - avoid at all costs!

Lajja (2001)

 A noble attempt to tackle some serious women's issues falls short of the mark

Kaal (2005)

a hotchpotch of borrowed ideas from recent Hollywood hits. What else is new!?

Kaante (2002)

Slickly produced and strongly acted thriller

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001)

Old-fashioned family drama has its finger totally on the pulse

Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaye (2000)

An intended comedy that is more like a tragi-comedy

Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (1999)

Lightweight story adrenalised by Hrithik's dynamic debut

Kal ho na Ho (2003)

Promises a lot more than it ultimately manages to deliver

Karobar (2000)

Bollywood reworking of Indecent Proposal.....what took them so long!?
