Tanu weds Manu Returns!

Tanu weds Manu was a refreshing with the right blend of emotion and comedy. So does the sequel live up to the expectation ? First things first. The opening credits and the first scene where Tanu and Manu argue about their not-so-happy- married life are something you should not missed. What follows is a laugh riot courtsey some very very witty dialogues and superb acting by Deepak Dobriyal as Pappi. He is simply brilliant and some of his lines and the way he delivers them will make you LOL all over the floor . He single handedly manages to set the pace for the movie. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub as Chintu the over-enthusiastic lawyer is a...

Bombay Velvet!

I know this review comes quite late. There is reason (like there is one for all the stupid things in life). I failed to find company all this time for this movie. Convincing people to watch an Anurag Kashyap movie is odd. But isnt that surprising because he has a different set of fans (the majority belonging to the inverse set of the "bhai-i-love-you-whatever-acting-psuedoacting- you- do" set). But then this one had the big stars to attract the masses. In spite of that it couldn't. This is what bad publicity and poor understanding of his kind of cinema is.  I being an ardent fan of his work I wanted to watch this. And after hearing all...

Gabbar is Back (Why?)

I was duped into watching this movie. Luckily I had the option of forwarding. And I had to use it quite diligently. I dont have much to say about this movie. I only have a few questions. From where is he back- Please send him back to that hideous place. Who has got him back - I want to sue that person for mental harassment. Krissh is the director. I guess only a superhero can manage can live through the torture of making such a movie. Who has the courage to see him in the theaters - I guess the " Bhai" wala audience does. And finally... Why is Gabbar back - WHY WHY WHY! Please send him back! If possible please...

Piku!

There are very few movies which have the perfect ingredients for you to be drawn to the theatres. Piku is one such film. Shoojit Sarkar (aslo the director who gave us Madras Cafe) and Juhi Chaturvedi unite again after writing Vicky Donor. The tag line of " Motion se hi emotion" is self explanatory and tells us whats the movie is about. The trailers and the tag line are a tad misleading as even though you will see Amitabh ranting about his not-so-good bowel habbits through a major portion of the movie, there is much more to the movie. The movie in fact is  more about the latter half of the tag line i.e emotions rather than the former...

Kingsman: The Secret Service

IMDB link After a long hiatus after its release I did manage to catch this movie. Thanks to some friends in Korea who managed to get an HDrip (Click here). Its based on the age old "  Bond / secret spy organization vs a megalomaniac-doomed-to-destroy-the-world" format. The only difference being its way more chic with all the action. It manages to be "gentleman"ish and techie cool at the same time throughout, The action scenes are well executed and they leave you in awe of the film. These are the main reason you should watch this film. Check this scene out : If you liked this one then , you SHOULD watch the rest of it. There is...
