The Grand Budapest Hotel is an utterly delightful film and one that promises to reveal many more delights upon repeat viewing.
The dull songs and the unexciting lead actor in particular make Hasee Toh Phasee merely entertaining and it stops well short of being special, which is frustrating for film lovers like me. But balancing some of this out is the Parineeti Chopra factor.
The 10-film strong Indian package at the Berlinale includes a range of features, documentaries, short and classic films.
The pièce de résistance in Twist of Taste for me, though, was Khanna’s command over the English language.
One By Two has a few great ideas and can boast of better aesthetics than what Bollywood usually churns out, but it ends up being a victim of its own imagined cleverness.
While the Oscars ceremony is usually peppered with hilarious asides by the host, ours isn’t. It is, however, very educational. Here is what I learnt after watching the marathon called the Idea Filmfare Awards last night.
At this rate, we’re about three films away from watching theatrical versions of two-and-a-half-hour-long Salman Khan screensavers. Jai Ho is about two-thirds of the way there.

Find out why the new Censor Board CEO Rakesh Kumar isn't good news for movie lovers and cine goers
We’ve celebrated his performances as Faizal Khan in Gangs Of Wasseypur, the IB Officer A Khan in Kahaani and Shaikh in The Lunchbox, but it’s hard to pin Nawazuddin Siddiqui down as any one of them: he is the quintessential Indian man on the street, blending into the crowd as expertly as he stands out with his performances.
Their profession is acting, not singing or songwriting.
While The Wolf of Wall Street it is all mostly impressive, it is never immersive.
With the success of Ship of Theseus, The Lunchbox and Shahid, Bollywood’s image underwent a massive overhaul in 2013. The lines between commercial, indie, offbeat and arthouse were blurred, and 2014 promises an even bigger assortment of interesting films.
Because these movies weren’t hand grenades; they were atom bombs whose detonations of dreadfulness created Hiroshima and Nagasaki-sized mushroom clouds in my cerebrum and caused permanent damage to my mental harmony. It's a countdown.
It is a new beginning indeed. And a perfect one I must say to start changing the mindset of people who think girls should be submissive.
Maybe in the coming year, we’ll see female characters in films and serials who are more normal.
Here’s what made the idiot box a winner in the idiot stakes.
When one crosses the thin line and enter the area of intolerance that it becomes a bit unnerving.

Here's a report card comparing Dhoom: 3 to its predecessors and guess what? It's actually the best of the series.
Really, Dhoom:3 is Dhoom to the power of 3. It’s 27 times as ridonkulous as the previous Dhoom films in every department.
I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s episode even though it is a little heartbreaking to think Rajat Sharma now needs a Bigg Boss to bolster his brand offering.
The first half of Dhoom:3 gave me a headache. I was waiting to get out of the cinema hall.
What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is what is commonly referred to as a mid-life crisis. A famous star wakes up one morning to find himself selling sandhi-sudha tablets to immortal Indian grandmothers
Gustad has put his troubles behind him and is all set with his first offering in a decade, Jackpot, a crime caper he describes as “a roller-coaster ride.”
Even Yash Raj Films can't ignore: you can make anything look hot so long as it features Kaif's flat-like-a-cricket-pitch torso.
