Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 – movie review (Adult Comedy)

India's first Porn-com




While the first two films, Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005) & Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum (2012) were trend-setters, Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 - the third installment of Kya Kool Hai Hum series disappoints.

Claimed as India’s first porn-com, the 3rd part has the least of genuine comedy content, and as regards the erotica – it has the lowest level of cheap gestures which can hardly ‘arouse’ interest among just out of college gals and guys.

The story revolves around two money-hungry friends, Kanhaiya and Rocky, who get trapped in the international adult film industry.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho – Hindi Movie Review

It happens only in India

Rating: **


A political satire loosely based on a real event in Rajasthan, in which a high court sentenced a boy to jail for allegedly raping a buffalo.
Debutant Director Vinod Kapri’s film is set somewhere in Haryana instead, and thats the reason that the film has a mix of Hindi and Haryanvi dialogues.
The film opens on a colorful beginning, in a rustic ‘mela’ (village fair) with surprises all around. A pundit claiming to bring a Goddess to life in the form of a young girl sitting on a chair in a static blessing posture. 

The villagers seem to be convinced. Other attractions include, apart from the stand giant wheels, merry-go-round, a sensuous item song “Naach Basanti” and the a beauty competition of buffaloes.

NIGHTCRAWLER – Hollywood film review

Rating: ****

An engrossing thriller about an unemployed, part time thief who rises to become an owner of the most competitive business in the American television industry.
Every night, while the city sleeps, motley crews armed with fast cars, expensive video cameras and blaring police radios prowl the sprawling Los Angeles basin in search of a story.

These freelance stringers, known as nightcrawlers, hunt for crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem in hopes of selling the footage to local TV news.

Pin-balling from one police scene to the next, they are driven by a simple equation that converts crime and victims into dollars and cents.

THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2 – Film Review



Rating: ****


Awesome 3D effects in the best on-screen Spiderman film with amazing, breathtaking action sequences and fight scenes.

Get ready for high-octane action sequences and mind-blowing fight scenes, and rightly claimed in the film publicity with the announcements "HIS GREATEST BATTLE BEGINS". 

Andrew Garfield, returns to the role of Peter Parker after launching a new chapter in the hero’s story in 2012 with The Amazing Spider-Man.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone).

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important conflict has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But now, Peter finds that his greatest battle is about to begin.

SAMRAT & CO. - Film Review

One of Bollywood’s finest whodunit detective thrillers in recent few years

Rating: **** 


It’s a dark night, a car winding its way up the hilly roads of Shimla, reaches its destination at the sprawling Mahendra Mansion. Mahendra Pratap Singh is about to retire for the night, suddenly the phone rings. This sets in motion for a series of engrossing, edge of the seat moments in this crime-detective thriller. 

There’s a tribute paid upfront to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes.

Trees are drying out, the flowery plants are on a depletion mode and so is the owner Mahendra Pratap Singh who too, is on a deterioration state of health, so much so that he is shown jerking up even at the telephone bell ringing.


A young, beautiful and rich girl, Dimpy Singh (Madalsa Sharma), approaches Samrat Tilakdhari (Rajeev Khandelwal), a private investigator, with a strange case.

Bhoothnath Returns – Film Review

Rating: ***

The friendly ghost is out to set things right in this country

A sequel to 2008 film Bhoothnath, features Amitabh Bachchan as Bhoothnath, the ghost who is mocked by everyone when he enters the Bhoothworld. He is questioned about his abilities as a ghost as he could not even scare a child when he was on earth.

Humiliated and tired of the mockery in the Bhoothworld, Bhoothnath requests the incharge of that world to give him one more chance to come to earth as a ghost and he promises that he would be successful in scaring some children, and clear out the mockery he faces in the ghost world.

After persuasion, he gets a chance to complete his unfinished task as a ghost and so Bhoothnath comes to earth again. This time he lands in Dharavi area, a slum in Mumbai. Unfortunately for him, a boy – Akhrot (Parth Bhalerao) can see him, not the other kids. No one around, not even Akhrot’s mother (Usha Jadhav) can see Bhoothnath.

Bhoothnath returns is fascinating, breezy, captivating and full of pleasurable moments in the first half. Post interval the film is loaded with heavy fundas such as how an eligible politician is to be elected, sermons on governance and the style of living. The message is well-intentioned, however it turns serious with grim turn of events in the latter half. The fun and comedy of the initial part are lacking in the second half.

Main Tera Hero - Film Review

Our Hero manages to date two girls at the same time


Rating: ***

It is an entertaining romantic drama lacks logic and is high on theatrics targeted at the masses, which takes Our Hero from the mountainous Ooty, to the fun college campus of Bangalore, and then to a beautiful mansion, in visitors paradise Thailand.
Our Love Story begins with the Mischievous, Clever, Charming, a Daredevil and the HERO – Seenu (Varun Dhawan) who falls in love with Sunaina (Ileana D’cruz).

On the first day of his college in Bangalore, he instantly falls in love with Sunaina (Ileana DCruz), unaware that Inspector Angad (Arunoday Singh) has terrorized her and wouldn’t let her even speak to other boys in the college.

Seenu outwits Angad, mentors Sunaina to gather guts to come out against the cop, and just as they openly move around, Sunaina is kidnapped and taken to Thailand. The cop has joined hands with the don in Thailand, since the don’s daughter Ayesha (Nargis Fakhri) has fallen in love with our Hero and Seenu is then summoned to Thailand.

It is full of corny dialogues that transport you to David Dhawan-Govinda era of the 1990s.

O Teri


Bollywood film review

Rating: **

Pulkit Samrat and Bilal Amrohi are television journalists whose show is on a decline in popularity. They are warned by their female boss that they could lose their jobs until they come up with something sensational, expose story of a scam or something.

They share an apartment and move around in an old model Fiat car, supposedly a lucky charm as they bought it from a successful personality. The premise of O Teri is lifted from yesteryear classic, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, yet it is miles way on its entertainment value.

Gang of Ghosts - Hindi film Review

Rating: **


A haunted mansion in Mumbai is to be demolished making way for a glitzy shopping mall. The gang of harmless Ghosts of different eras and social spheres residing in this house are to be dislocated.

A remake of the commercially successful Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat, Gang of Ghosts comes up as mish-mashed comedy with sub-plots and undesirable buffoonery.

Some of these dilapidated disputed buildings were haunted by Ghosts who had taken shelter there over centuries. They were evicted and are homeless today. There is no rehabilitation package on offer. Politicians, media, intellectuals, civic society- no one gives a dam to them. After all, Ghosts can’t vote.

Royal Mansion is one such heritage property which is rented out for film shoots to facilitate its maintenance. A heroine faints during a shooting allegedly sighting Ghost in a mirror. A filmmaker on a reconnaissance trip to the building gets to hear of a spooky story revolving around the house.

Ankhon Dekhi – Film Review

 Rating: ****


It is a story of a man who begins to think philosophically and feels within himself the reality of life of seeing and believing in those things which normally an average man wouldn’t think of treading into finding realisim in several ‘minute’ issues like hearing the roar of a tiger, flying like a bird…

This film gives the feel of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chatterjee’s films, widely appreciated by the audiences.

Ankhon Dekhi is a genuinely entertaining film minus the item numbers, flashy locations and other typical bollywood films released of late.

About the performances, Sanjay Mishra as the protagonist, is subdued and puts up a great show. Rajat Kapoor as his younger brother is natural, almost like a character in real life.

A fine film with a simple story, which touches your heart and makes you smile.

Total Siyapaa - Film Review


Disappointing 

Rating - **


Asha (Yami Gautam) is of Indian origin and Aman (Ali Zafar) is a Pakistani national, both are residents in the United Kingdom.

Aman visits the girls parents’ house to seek their permission. On the day when he is supposed to meet Asha’s parents, an unfortunate incident occurs as due to some misunderstanding he is mistaken as a terrorist and goes through the strip-search by the cops.

He is let off at the station, and is in lowest of his spirits and wants to postpone his meeting with the girl’s parents for some other day. However Asha is insistent that he finish the task on that day itself, and despite his hesitation, they head for the girls parents house.

Marketed as a rib-tickling rom-com as marketed in its trailers, the film disappoints as the supposedly funny instances just fall flat. The film is far from being a funny film with chaotic and outrageous situations.

Darr @ The Mall - Film Review


Rating: ***


A spine chilling tale of events happening one night in a newly opened mall and an encounter with the past.

Pawan Kripalani, whose previous film ‘Ragini MMS’ fetched him critics acclaim as well as box office success, is back with yet another scary film – Darr @ The Mall. This one manages to scare the viewer on several occasions with occurrences like doors opening by themselves, drawers banging and the screams of children crying which are used as background score.

Asia’s largest mall – The Grand is ready for inauguration. Over the period of its construction, there is a myth surrounding the mall that people have started labeling it as Haunted Mall.

It begins with the security guard losing his life in a gruesome accident which actually never happened. It was the imagination of the poor man that his car window is smashed and then he is shown as being strangled to death with the seat belt. The post mortem report shows that the security in charge was killed due to suffocation in his car.
