Mumbai is for the mafia stories, Kolkatta is the place for mystery, murder, crime or detective movies. In recent past we had over hyped Detective Byomkesh Bakshy (2015), Michael (2011) which never got released in theatres in India featuring Naseeruddin Shah and Kahaani (2012) featuring Vidya Balan a film that rekindled the joy of watching… Read More »
I had seen the powerful trailer of Udta Punjab. I was eagerly waiting for release on June 17. Udta Punjab ( can’t even shorten to UP as someone else may take offence) is, as the nation knows by now, a Drug Crime thriller exposing drug problem and is currently locked in a battle with the… Read More »
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 »

If you look within the sports genre, suddenly India has been producing lot many and lot better… Read More »
There is nothing in the movie and then THERE IS EVERYTHING IN THE MOVIE. It is like a docudrama of a real time event. Timing it with 26th Jan when the patriotic feelings is at its peak is a good move. Not surprising that people clapped at the end of the movie- which anyway was… Read More »
The first time I saw ‘Star Wars’ was when I was in school. In fact we were taken by the school Kendriya Vidhyalaya –I, GCF Estste, Jabalpur to the theatre ( I think Sheela Talkies) in 1978-79. 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.
