Don’s Music simply rocks! I had given up hope after seeing the trailer, but the songs have again lightened up my interest in the movie. Not since GUPT, a movie score so splendidly techno has come across in Bollywood. What’s more, Shankar Eshan Loy haven’t restored to standard Pritam or Himesh tricks of adding ridiculous […] vitamins for hair loss

Why ban adult movies on TV?

Posted By amjad_maruf || Posted at 6am on 8/25/06 | 2 comments | Tags: Television, ban on adult movies on TV, serials, CBFC, censor board, I & B Minister | read on

I refer to Information & Broadcasting Ministry and the High court banning Adult movies on TV. Though they should be lauded for their concern for the children but they should also have considered the whole gamut
of repercussions before taking a decision to ban “adult movies” on TV. By completely banning adult
movies on TV what they […] online payday loans

Hello everyone,
I am too obsessed with anything related to KANK nowadays hence a second post on the same movie in two days. KJ fan, please bear with me
Various News Channels aired the first day first day reactions of Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna by the cinegoers that ranged from “Pathetic”, “boring”, “flop” to […]

Until now I detested the lavishness and melodrama that Karan Johar dished out in his previous movies like KKHH & K3G and now I hated his immature and illogical take on the extra marital relationships. If  KJ wanted to move away from mush and push the envelope a bit further by exploring the extra marital […]

Yeah Yeah, you may call me foolish to preview this, but I couldnt stop laughing looking at this “First Look” wallpaper of Jaaneman on Indiafm.
From Indiafm:

Now who’s that guy in the middle?
Elvis Presley? Eh? No. Its apna own SALMAN KHAN!
Why the F*$#( would anyone want to dress up Salman Khan as Elvis Presley in […]

Update: August 12, 2006
More reviews flowing in - I just started another threat to collect blogger perspectives on Kabhi Alvida. This seems to be a big letdown for Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta, SRK and Rani Mukherjee yet.

Karan thinks the movie is shoddy and tedious:
But this film is hell-bent on first, romanticising extra-marital affairs; second, mocking […]

I generally dont cover much from Southern cinema, but if the project involves A. R. Rehman in any form, then I get interested. I dont understand a word of Tamil, but that has not prevented me from enjoying A. R. Rehman’s music in Tamil movies for sure. And I do believe he has given some […]

Year Released: 1990
Hero: Aamir Khan
Heroine: Madhuri Dixit
Music Director: Nadeem Shravan
Director: Inder Kumar

Plot
Dil was a classic love story cliché, done well. There was nothing in the movie one could not predict, but strong performances, great music and interesting screenplay were enough to catapult this movie into a huge hit. The story revolved around guy and a […]

Everyone’s grandmother knows now that the biggest movie after Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is going to be Shahrukh Khan’s DON - the remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s Don.  Farhan Akthar had a great start in bollywood with Dil Chahta hain, but was miserable with Lakshya - How will SRK’s DON in 2006 do?
The posters released […]

Now I had heard about this movie sometime back, and it was supposed to be directed by Chakravarthy (yeah, the villian in Shiva, and the hero of Satya).
This has been a year of comedies - this is yet another comic caper starring Aftab Shivdasani, Chunky Pandey (whoa?), Zakir Hussain (what the hell?) and Snehal, with […]

Not many have heard about Anthony Kaun Hain - heck, even I hadn’t heard of this movie, until I saw the reviews. The Munnabhai M.B.B.S combo of Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warshi seem to be back again, but they are not working together in the movie (now thats sad).
The film also stars Minissha, who is […]

Shahrukh Khan Interview with Guardian (SRK)

Posted By Supremus || Posted at 1am on 8/4/06 | 1 comment | Tags: SRK Interview, Guardian | read on

I came accross this interview of Shah Rukh Khan with Guardian Reporter. Normally I dont like interviews, but I thought SRK gave some really good answers - Here are some snippets from the interview - it was a very well written piece as well:
“I believe in the tenets of Islam and I believe that it’s […]

All right, too many people on delicious were tagging this particular clip, so I decided to check it out.
And OH. MY. GAWD!
Solla Solla Enna Perumai Clip is an instant classic - the dance moves, the clothes, the steps - too good, too much!
Check it out - a masterpiece video from the Tamil Film Industry!

The first post in the series of all the movies I am reviewing out of 1990s.
Rajkumar Santoshi became a household name after this movie. Though Sunny Deol had his usual over the top action, he was considerably restrained, and gave an amazing performance as a wounded man. It wasn’t a surprise then that this […]
