One was surprised when the decision to remake Agneepath was announced. Especially, since though the 1990 version is (now) regarded as some sort of cult film (I wonder why), it is actually little more than a standard revenge story of ...
Each time the four protagonists are faced with a problem they have to overcome to reach their goal, the writers of this film provide a resolution of resounding clarity and simplicity. Drink rum, and carry on with the plan as if ...
Sadda Adda, written and directed by Muazzam Beg (of Rockstar infamy), is a surprisingly watchable enough film revolving around six 20-something friends that share a flat and refuse to grow up. Sound familiar?
I am going to refer to it as the ...
Clearly designed to launch the great Bollywood dream, with majority of the cast and crew debutants below the ripe old age of 30, Tutiya Dil, written and directed by short filmmaker Amit Khanna isn’t as disastrous as it sounds even if ...
There is a particular sequence of events in this film that encapsulates everything this 'Abbas-Mustan style action-thriller' stands for. So our kewl gang of players must steal tons of gold from a moving Russian train. Charlie (Abhishek), born leader that he ...

100% Love (Bengali)
Sometimes, a film which you know is going to be extremely predictable turns out to be a pleasant surprise if not all the way, at least half of the way through the film. This is actor Jeet's first full-length feature film ...
Vettai (Tamil)
If 2011 was an all time low for Indian mainstream cinema qualitatively, Players and now Vettai prove that we're in for a looong grind of pathetic films in 2012 as well. Vettai simply represents the worst of what the Tamil filmmaker ...
Nanban (Tamil)
It's difficult to review Nanban as a stand-alone film especially if you've seen the movie it is a remake of - 3 Idiots. Much of what I want to say is already there in the review of the Hindi version so ...
