  Movie Review: Mumbai Meri Jaan

  The serial bombing of suburban trains in Mumbai in 2006 is a nightmarish incident the nation would never forget. And Mumbaikars still get gooseflesh recalling the ghastly incident. MUMBAI MERI JAAN recreates the incident on celluloid, but is not about terrorism per se.

  Subhash K Jha speaks about Bachna Ae Haseeno!

  Let's get real. Commitment phobia is epidemic among 20-something urban yuppies and yummies especially in the metros. Siddharth Anand, a pastmaster at depicting urban mores (Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum) this time pulls out all stops to expose the suave urbane heel who cannot feel above the waist.

  Subhash K Jha speaks about God Tussi Great Ho!

  Who but a David Dhawan follower can turn Tom Shadyac's Bruce Almighty into 'Bruise The Almighty'. This unintentional subverted farce insults God and human beings alike. It pretends to say something deep and indelible. It ends up being as profound as a bowl of soggy noodles staring at you for edible nirvana.

  Movie Review: God Tussi Great Ho

  When it comes to escapist cinema, a gifted writer can make his imagination run really wild. Think of a crazy story, come up with outrageous and zany situations, rope in actors who'd look believable in those parts... hey presto, a crazy potboiler is ready to be served.

  Subhash K. Jha speaks about Singh Is Kinng

  Burp re burp! At last a thali filled to the brim with spicy picked ghar ka khaana fried in the sinfully calorie-filled desi ghee prepared in the heartland of Punjab and then imported out West.

  Movie Review: Singh Is Kinng

  Just a word of caution before you watch this film: SINGH IS KINNG is not for the intellectuals or those pretending to be one. It’s not for the hard-nosed critics either.

  Movie Review: Ugly Aur Pagli

  UGLY AUR PAGLI is a bizarre and uncanny title. But catchy and attracts instant attention at the same time. It's for this reason that you expect UGLY AUR PAGLI to be one wacky ride, what with the film promising 99 slaps and 1 kiss.

  Subhash K Jha speaks about Mission Istaanbul

  Ouch! It cuts like a knife. The editor's scissors snips and snaps through the masterly material on international terrorism demonstrating a tailor's tight command over size and measurement. In fact, editor Rajesh Singh's work is so exemplary in the first-half, you sort of brace yourself for a grander pow-wow in the second-half.

  Movie Review: Mission Istaanbul

  Terrorism is a global issue and varied film-makers across the globe continue to make movies/documentaries/short films that expose the ghastly face and effects of terrorism. Apoorva Lakhia charters that path as well in MISSION ISTAANBUL.

  Movie Review: Money Hai Toh Honey Hai

  David Dhawan and Priyadarshan triggered off a trend -- of making brainless comedies -- and thus began a wave of leave-your-brains-at-home laughathons. Inspired by the success of these ha-ha-he-he fares, every second film-maker decided to join the bandwagon for that elusive Hit.

  Movie Preview: Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam

  Don't go by the title. Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam is a mad, contemporary comedy involving a drama troupe - Kalakar Natak Company. They produce socially relevant, thought-provoking plays, which no one understands and hardly anyone sees.

  Movie Preview: Acid Factory

  Our memory is the source of all emotions. It is also the source of our guilt. What if a killer would wake up one day with his memory erased? Would his crimes cease to exits? What if an innocent wakes up one with his memory erased and perceives himself to be a criminal? Would that change his perception of reality?

  Subhash K Jha speaks about Kismat Konnection

  In one of the gloriously gossamer moments in the film, the 'hero', a harassed working-class entity and the kind of bereft soul you would immediately recognize if you've grown up watching Aziz Mirza's working-class romances, with one of his shoes in hand looks up in the sky and says with a stifled sob, "I give up."
