Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story is a light-hearted rom-com, set in Mumbai, during the time of the 2G Spectrum Scam. The movie is not complicated at all and is quite entertaining to be honest. The film starts of by showing Simran Desai (Neha Sharma), a girl with a dream to be successful in Mumbai. She left her hometown to go to Mumbai (which was quite a big problem as his father was very close with her). Simran (in the two months she was in Mumbai) had...

Argo review

Argo is the story of a real life operation conducted in 1980 to rescue American hostages in Iran, at the time of the revolution. The movie begins, November 4th 1979, with an enormous protest which attacks and breaks through the doors of the US Embassy in Tehran. The protesters include EVERYONE (all ages) fighting for their freedom (as they called it) and hence hijacking the embassy was the perfect way to let the US government know that they mean...

Gangster Squad review

The movie starts off in 1949, showing Micky Cowen (Sean Penn) a boxer and with the aim of becoming a big shot! After the 2nd world war, in Los Angeles, he is become a mobster. The film is narrated by John O'mara (Josh Brolin)! He is the cop! A sergeant to be exact. He is shown saving the life of an innocent girl who is about to be raped by Cowen's men. Cowen is the don!! the police can't touch him, but O'mara is given the order to go after...

Special 26 review

Special 26 revolves around the idea of the "fake" CBI in the 80's in India. It shows the concept very well as well as performances of everyone in the movie were believable hence very well executed. To be honest, this is my favourite Akshay Kumar film as this film by far has one of the cleanest stories I've seen this year. It begins with an interview in March 18th 1987 and from there on we go into a, so to say, "flashback" where Anupam Kher (PK...

ABCD (Anybody Can Dance) review

  ABCD has to be (in my opinion) the first proper 3D movie in India. Even Ra-One with all their "special effects" looked tacky, but ABCD was very good in 3D. The movie shows a new feel for dance movies, kind of like the Step Up collection and Street Dance etc in Hollywood. It truly concentrates on dance and dance alone, while addressing little bits of life oriented challenges in between. The film revolves around Prabhudeva's character (Vishnu),...

Akaash Vani review

  This movie, to be perfectly honest, was expected to do very well at the box office, but it was the exact opposite. One of the biggest disappointments in Indian cinema was Akaash Vani. The movie begins well, giving the audience high hopes that maybe this could be next “DDLJ” but soon, the plot looks weak as the lead characters Akaash (Kartik Tiwari) and Vani (Nusrat Bharucha) get together and suddenly their 4 year college experience...

Race 2 review

                          It starts off just with a random lamborghini that is parked somewhere and some random man shoots the gas tank of the car...hence (you guessed it...) leading to a spontaneous explosion. Right now, we have no idea "WHAAAAT" just happened. Anil Kapoor (RD in the film) begins to narrate and introduces...

Bollywood in 2013!

Stop! This year was in my opinion one of the worst starts Bollywood has had in years! Low budget films Table No.21, Raajhdaani Express, Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola, Mumbai Mirror, Inkaar, Akaash Vani! None of these films made an impact on cinema, the distributors or the heart's of the people who went to watch these movies in the cinema. Kinda disappointed by this start, there was one "small" but significant light at the end of January! And that was Race 2! I must say personally, I saw a lot of flaws in that film and I think Abbas Mustan just like...
