Educated in Finance but have interests in everything else other than it. I love writing about movies that I've seen and I soon plan to hit a 100 reviews. I also write about Formula 1 races... Lot of interests ranging from Painting to Music to Amateur Astronomy. As of now, Movies and driving hold my interest.

Wow, nice to see a dissenting review. Well, I too wrote about similar issues of misplaced logic (like those you have pointed out in para 3). Problem is that Nolan Bhakts get carried away by all the extravaganza and get a pseudo intellectual kick an think of themselves are intelligent. Wish they coul Read More...

@prasu.sreeju @GRuchirG Thanks for your comments. On agreeing or disagreeing, it is just a matter of preferences/ opinions :) While I like Sc-Fi as a genre, I like it as long as it is logical. Somewhere, Nolan makes a pretense of being logical but isnt. That's my problem with Inception & Interstella Read More...

Rated on Moviezadda12's review
Nice one Fenil... This movie is actually nice.. Do drop by to read my review too..
@sachinaxis Thanks for the feedback. If you didn't like DDLJ, it's quite likely that there may be a bit of generation gap. There is a chance however that you may like the same story told in a relatively modern setting with current generation actors. Just guessing.
nice review Fenil.. By the film's premise, it was doomed to be a disaster.. it's the case of directors trying to push the envelope of stupid comedy further and further till the point that it breaks.. looks like Humshakals was the breaking point.. didn't see the film anyways..
