I Hate Luv Storys : Its a patience meter..!!

Rating : 4/10 Genre : Drama, Romance, Comedy, Spoof... Direction : Punit Malhotra Starring : Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Samir Dattani.. Runtime : Who cares..!!! Jay Dhingra (Imran Khan) is an modern guy. He turns up his nose at anything that remotely resembles soppy sentimentality, even though he works as an assistant to a film maker (Samir Soni) who peddles the most improbable mush on screen... Enter, the new art director, Simran Sharma (Sonam Kapoor) who eats, sleeps and is drunk heady on love and all that goes with it. A diehard romantic, she even has a perfect boyfriend called Raj (Samir Dattani) who gifts her a white chrysanthemum, each time he meets her. But will the pristine white flowers score over Jay's crazy red roses, and crazier ways? Keep guessing... Its a typical KJO movie..!! Another same ordinary extremely predictable bollywood love story... I was expecting for a extreme twist in almost every scene, but was...

Edge of the darkness- Not 'Edge' to the mark..?!?

Rating : 5.5/10 Genre : Drama, Thriller.. Director : Martin Campbell Starring : Mel Gibson, Ray Winston.. Runtime : 117 mins.. Hardcore action, thrilling scenes, blood-chilling stunts, nail-biting suspense... This was ma expectation...!!! And it was a complete disappointment... Just disappointment...!!! I am damn sure that Mel Gibson accepted to do this movie just because this movie is the film adaptation of the 1985 BBC television series of the same name and is directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Michael Wearing, who also directed and produced the series respectively. I am a hardcore Mel Gibson fan, thats the main and only reason for watching this movie... But this time he failed to impress... Thomas Craven, a single father, has been a Boston homicide detective for many years. His 24-year-old daughter Emma, his only child, is killed on the front steps of his home. At first it appears that Craven was the intended target. He soon uncovers evidence that leads him t...

From Paris with love - The same old action formula (+62%) - Movie review

This is an English language movie, released in 2010 in India, directed by Pierre Morel, starring  John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the leading roles. Well, before all those brainless fast and furious franchise (Fast 5, 6, 7 and maybe 8), we had this action flick with almost similar formula. Here we see John Travolta and his side-kick Jonathan Rhys Meyers partnered to save the world from the terrorists. There is nothing much to say about the plot, even the twist in the end (again, the formula) can be easily predicted from the beginning itself. It's evident that John is not doing those ridiculous stunts by himself that you feel there should be a stuntman's name mentioned at the beginning of the movie. I had been to this movie with an expectation from the director of Taken, a movie I enjoyed very much but here since I had expectations, I was disappointed miserably. But if you watch this movie without any expectations and leaving your brain for rest, then you actual...

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa - A beautiful GVM love story (+68%) - Movie review

--> This is a Tamil language movie, released in 2010, directed by Goutham V Menon (GVM), starring Silambarasan and Trisha in the leading roles.  A simple love story told in a Goutham Menon style, with all ingredients of his usual recipe followed like a half spoon of Tanglish, half spoon of over the top romance, a pinch of romantic cringe, four spoons of dream song sequences, one-third spoon of length of the movie, a bit of heartbreak and two spoons of amazing locations.  Of course, this movie will have a cult following as well as financial success at the box office, critics, as well as viewers, will like this movie because it is fresh for its time. Good Alappuzha locations (Kudos to the cinematographer) and amazing music by the legendary AR Rahman.  Its a sweet emotional love-drama with heartbreaks and a different ending to the movie. Sometimes I feel the movie is dragged but in some places, I felt it is necessary.  Simbhu has done a good ...

Sherlock Holmes (2009) - A Guy Ritchie version (+70) - Movie review

This is a English language movie, released in 2010 in India, Directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in leading roles.  This review is strictly my point of view and many may not agree with me, I being a Guy Ritchie fan, I do admire most of the things he brings on screen, so keep that in your mind before my recommendation.  This version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters, where the bromance of Doctor and Holmes continues with a stylish narration of Guy Ritchie. Guy Ritchie's narrative style is not for everyone, it contains a bit more of action and fantasy substances that will not be accepted openly by everyone.  People may feel that the action sequences are opposite of what the authentic characters possess, but what I felt is in this version Guy Ritchie tried to create the action sequences in such a way that it was mentally calculated and not just physical capacity of Sherlock Holmes.  The editing, camera, and the tech...
