Movie Review: Good acting can't save Aurangzeb from its incoherent plot

May 18, 2013

Aurangzeb is a story of potentially epic proportions (and near-epic run time), but it struggles to be coherent and its final conclusion is unable to match the build-up and premise. #Rishi Kapoor #Arjun Kapoor #MovieReview #Jackie Shroff #Aurangzeb

May 17, 2013

Movie Review: The Great Gatsby is the most Bollywood of Baz Luhrmann's films

May 17, 2013

The great American dream is an integral part of America. It�s �great� in that it symbolises not truth, but hope when the truth is disillusioning; it symbolises not facts, but ideals when facts are unnerving; it symbolises not likelihood, but promise when likelihood is all but bleak. #The Great Gatsby #MovieReview #Joel Edgerton #Tobey Maguire #F.

Movie review: Shootout at Wadala is mostly mindless and occasionally fun

May 04, 2013

Director Sanjay Gupta seems have been attempting to do a Quentin Tarantino with Shootout at Wadala, given the over-the-top violence and slick dialogues that skid all over the film. But gangster films are slippery territory and Shootout at Wadala becomes more mindless and trite than fun. #John Abraham #MovieReview #Sanjay Gupta #Shootout at Wadala #From Dongri to Dubai

Movie Review: Rise of the Zombie bites off more than it can chew

Apr 06, 2013

Rise of the Zombie is pegged as India's first zombie film. It tries to get the look right but forgets about the story in the process. The really scary part? It's the first in a zombie trilogy. #MovieReview #Luke Kenny #Rise Of The Zombie #Kirti Kulhari
