You haven’t heard a more stupid question than this. And then you would ask me, Do you really think I should be doing this? What gave you that idea? I know the first reactions the question would elicit. Ok, let’s look at the other side. Do you think your agency will send you a valentine… Read More: Will YOU SEND A VALENTINE GIFT TO YOUR AGENCY? »
The premise remains the same, a novice fighting a case of his life. And that is more than enough for a somewhat tight screenplay. Other than a short song in between, which happens for rhyme or reason, rest of the film does not let you know the time. There is hardly a moment that you… Read More: JOLLY LLB2 – An interesting case to watch »

Even Badshah Khan’s performance and the underplayed role of Nawazuddin Siddiqui fail to lift ‘RAEES’. Badshah Khan fails to deliver on hyper expectations. The first half is a bit enjoyable. However, it suffers from same issues that make second-half a drag. The whole film is fragmented episodic linear progression with jerky transitions. Mahira Khan, the… Read More: RAEES fails to excite, suffers from over expectation. »

I read ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and then reread many passages. One silly thought kept creeping up. Knowing the appetite of Indian audience, what if a movie was made on such a lovely story? How successful will it be?
