In Ra.One, Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) the performer is faced with a different kind of challenge – that of going from being an over-actor to a wooden video-warrior. Noread more...

That the audience and the media alike killed the movie even before its release has been and will always remain my bone of contention. Before the release, it was portrayed as a voyeuristic, Lolita-esque movie; and after, it was a slow, boring movie. Agreed, that cinematically, this one could have bee read more...
SAUDAGAR (1973)— This is one gem of a movie, rooted in Indian soil so deep that one could almost smell the fragrance. I guess Mr. Bachchan took on this film before the star-dust of stardom yanked him away from such realistic gems. And that is a complaint I will always have. Watch him in this movie read more...
What is there to say about an actor that has withstood the vagaries of time for over 40 years? Governments in India changed, the Indian economy metamorphosed, India went from being known as a country where westerners came to ‘soul-search’ and smoke Ganja with Sadhus to one having the best brains in read more...

The Cloak of Constructive Criticism
The Cloak of Constructive Criticism 3 I read reviews of BLACK which mentioned that people in the theatres were actually crying during some scenes in the movie. Personally, I did not, could not, shed a drop of tear or feel my heart wallowing up with emotions when I watched BLACK. In short, I wa read more...

THE CLOAK OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM 2 Coming to AK’s ‘logical’ mind, which he tries to find in every movie he acts/directs/produces, one can cite a significantly high number of examples where what he considers logic, is clearly illogical. I am bringing up this fact since AB says in his reactio read more...

Commented on Nisha007's review
Here’s a list of points why I am forced to believe with every passing day that Ms. Morals has all the qualities of a horse serving a hansom. Just as the horse’s mouth is tied from two sides so that it can ONLY look ahead and not anywhere else, Ms. Moral’s human brain works uni-directionally. a) I read more...
Hear Hear!! Look at the language Ms. Morals uses!! For a person who champions Indian culture and values, her writing is full of derogatory comments and is almost vulgar (and she calls NISHABD vulgar!!!!). I fail to realize how my arguments are devoid of logic!!! Take my points step b step and opp read more...
I think Ms. Morals never understood my comment about the Indian audiences rejecting the movie. She is still convinced that it was her cowdung propaganda and the views of like-mined moral superpowers that made the movie a flop. THE MOVIE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A UNIVERSAL ONE. It had a niche audience, read more...
To quote Ms. morals, THERE IS NOTHING DIFFICULT IN EMOTING DESIRE ON SCREEN!!!!! Whoa, now she is taking up cudgels with Amitabh's acting prowess! She truly is a descendent of Jhansi ki Rani .

Wow!! Nisha 007 is here too!!!!!!!! She created quite a ruckus by cutting and pasting the same review on Sulekha - even before the release of the film!!!! If Amitabh Bachchan ever came face to face with Nisha, she would burn his french beard with her piercing moral eyes!!!!!

Hi Bhavna: I have tremendous respect for you as a reviewer and most importantly, as a student of cinema. WAR OF THE WORLDS, according to me is a beautiful movie. The movie is one not to be felt, but just to be seen and enjoyed. If you do just that, you will love it. It has many pros. It is not cl read more...
