My first novel is coming out this December. Its titled ''Release 2.0''; it is predominantly a story about India but a highly globalized bunch of Indians at that, playing out a gripping game on a global chessboard that reaches its climax circa December 2008 , and the action takes place predominantly in India, Germany and the USA It was originally scheduled for early 2008 but it will now be timed for a release in X'mas this year (2007) when a lot of Indians from all over the world will be returning for vacations. There is a reason why that is relevant but you will realise it after reading through the story :) Visit my author blog on http://anilgoel.rediffiland.com/iland/anilgoel.html where I will be posting updates. . Too many things take my fancy, as must be common to a lot of junta on Ms, but if interests can be defined as something one is actively pursuing in some way shape or form - be it just reading on the subject, all the way to being involved in related activities - my list is down to a handful. Bollywood - which keeps me ticking, Dance, which keeps me human, Outsourcing - which keeps my banker busy. Love playing sports more than watching - Cricket, TT, Lawn Tennis feature high on sports very actively played, even at competitive levels but isnt any real sport I've been able to keep in touch with.

Spot on and very differently put ... the good thing about this review like a rot of your reviews are refreshing different, mainly beause they don't double up as a synopsis of the film but just have a lot of interesting perspective on things...vidya ugggggggggggghhhhhhhhh....

As usual, your trademark review style - not breaking down the whole story and describig it but just the main reasons why you loved the movie and think its a great watch. Good stuff :)
I guess you can never please everyone but its set to become the biggest blockbuster in India, bigger than ...yuckkkk...Fanaa. The Roshan's look set for 60 crores in the first week which is probably just under Fanaa's total box office gross. Time will tell. Hey but guys, does anyone also not like Hri Read More...

Beautiful, crisp review that conjures up the images, emotions and general pleasant feeling that one has as he emerges from the theatre with a smile after unravelling the pahelo - really a very light, pretty and beautiful movie that has been done great justice by the cast and crew
Sarson da Saag, Makai di Roti and SRK da pyaar are defn your regular staple and great to know you find VZ feeding us loads of it. Great review, thoroughly enjoyable without giving away too much of the story :)

Good review as usual Amjad, though don't necessarily agree with your comments, especially after seenig the movie for the 2nd time in theatres yesterday. The crowd (Gaiety, Mumbai) seemed quite responsive to Mani's ideas, and there were whistles for our yuvas walking into assembly in diesel. My Read More...
