I am afraid that the audience may not venture out this weekend to meet SARBJEET in a U/A certified film. I will be disappointed if the WORD-OF-MOUTH appreciation does not start filling the halls. It is a well-made bold film. However, the disturbing imagery may tune off the viewers. While, it may be appreciated by… Read More »
To say SHAH RUKH KHAN proved himself or made a comeback will be insulting the man. He has been Badshah of Indian Cinema for long. His tag of being quintessential romance king shadows the anti roles that he did in his career like Daar and Baazigar. So FAN just about FANS the fire of his followers.… Read More »
When a star student in the class gets just above average marks, you do not say ‘Could have done better’. You instead raise a question ‘How could he do this’. ‘Ki & Ka’ the latest offering from ace storyteller and Director Balki is something with differential concept, maybe good intent but sketchy and inconsistent at… Read More »

It was an awesome experience as was watching my first bond some years later. That was soon followed… Read More »
The film Bajirao Mastani is an imaginative story of Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) the Peshwa Pune and Bundelkhand Princess Mastani (Deepika Padukone) who is an expert dancer as she is a warrior. As there is very less recorded history of Mastani, the whole story can be seen as director’s world. Love emerges uninvited between Bajirao and… Read More »
Tweet Follow @S_kotnala If I was to go by social media, PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO is a disaster. So much anguish and pain been demonstrated by audience. Everyone seems to be against it. It is somewhat Uncool to be accepting that you watched PRDP. Such outrage pushed me to watch it last night,… Read More »
Tweet Follow @S_kotnala If you were born before early 70’s, you will recall the sensation Charles Shobraj was. Imprinted in your mind will be the images of the chequered cap, slight downward tilt of head, a thin mysterious smile and highly silent sharp eyes shaded behind big glasses.

Tweet Follow @s_kotnala Every batsman or a bowler does not always perform to his full potential. SHAANDAAR by Vikas Bahl lives true to this sporting truth. You can resonate better with the statement ‘Past performance is no guarrantee for future perfiormance’ after watching Shaandaar. After 145 minutes you want to know what was the director wanting… Read More »
