‘THUGS OF HINDUSTAN’ (TOH) is an utter disappointment. In a year where offbeat subjects and films like ‘Bhadhai Ho‘ is making the audience get back to cinema, Thugs of Hindostan experience may hold them away from theatres. ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ got nothing new. When the Britishers kill the king and Queen, the loyal, brave warrior… Read More »

Manoj Bajpai holds ‘SATYAMEV JAYATE’ and steals the show from John Abraham’s movie Satyamev Jayate. I have seen such movies in the early eighties, and the hall would erupt in claps and be whistling at the fight sequence or dialogues.

‘102 not out’ is a nice movie. It is a decently watchable film. Its old style what we call Halki-fhulki all family entertainer. Do not expect the brilliance of Hrishikesh Mukherjee film and you will be fine. It is a film where the roles are reversed than what you may expect in real life. 102… Read More »
