Clerk (1989)
1/10
Plan 9 From Bollywood
6 November 2010
(0/2)The story is going nowhere.It's like all masala movies mix into one to make a khichdi.Patriotism,romance,youth rebel,terrorism,action, and what not.

(0/2)All the actors in this movies are veterans and best in the business.Manoj Kumar,Ashok Kumar,Rajendra Kumar,Shashi Kapoor,Prem Chopra,Rekha.But the talent of all these legends is flushed down thanks to the stupid story and (mis-)direction.

(0/2)What the devil is wrong with Manoj Kumar?One of the best director Indian movie has ever seen has wasted his time in this movie.

(0/2)Music of this movie is ridiculous."Aaj 15 August hai" is gibberish of them all.

(1/2)This movie will down in the history as the best unintended comedy film .You won't be able to stop yourself from bursting out in laughter.This movie-is-so-bad-it's-good.

Watchmen (2009)
10/10
Under The Hood
2 November 2010
(2/2)The best cast Zack can hire.Jackie as Rorschach brought the character to life.Gugino,Wilson,Dean Morgan and all the look alikes are wonderful.

(2/2)This comic book piece is one of the most revered in the Graphic Novel genre.Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons characters are all larger than life.

(2/2)Snyder did it again ! The most risky comic book title to be converted into live action film is done by the man himself.Bravo.Brought back the comic book nostalgia.Now Snyder is a serious threat to Nolan in this genre.

(2/2)I can give 10 star to this movie only on the basis of its music.Pruit Igoe and Prophecies,Sound of silence , All along the watchtower,....oh my god Bob Dylan with opening credit.Zack,i'm in love with you.

(2/2)The movie retain the soul of the graphic novel and thus the X- Factor.

Dabangg (2010)
6/10
Zhandu Dabangg
2 November 2010
(1/2)Salman is the new Rajnikanth.Larger than his movies.Rest of the cast is wasted except Sood.Om Puri,Dimple,Vinod Khanna,Tinu Anand and above all Mahesh Manjrekar,Mahi are wasted.No scope for debutant Sonakshi.

(1/2)Story is a 70s pot-boiler.The movie is running because of the Salman factor,festival factor and viral marketing.No depth in characters.

(1/2)Direction is mediocre.Many action sequences are lifted from Salman's Wanted (2009),including the opening action sequence.

(2/2)Music is jabardast.Mast-Mast do Nain by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is creme de la creme.Munni Badnaam is the new disco anthem.

(1/2)The movie lacks the pace as of WANTED.Witty dialogues of Salman are not enough.But hey....who cares ! The movie is making billions anyhow.

Inception (2010)
10/10
Mind Heist
1 November 2010
(2/2)De Caprio is getting better and better.Joseph Gordon Levitt could win Oscar for Best Supporting actor.Murphy looks better in negative roles(I must confess).Ken Watanabe got more room to prove his acting skills.Michael Caine's presence is indispensable.Page,Rao,Hardy are OK.

(2/2)Story.WOW.This dream within a dream is though not a completely new notion(if you are an avid comic book reader).But Nolan proved that he is best in this business.Oscar for best original screenplay.

(2/2)Direction is top notch.Remind us of Memento.The climax scene is a killer.

(2/2)Looks like Nolan and Hans Zimmer are made for each other.The trailer score by Zack Hemsey scored over the complete movie soundtrack.Hats off Hemsey.

(2/2)Are you kidding ? The complete flick is a powerhouse.Full on X- FACTOR.

Knock Out (2010)
3/10
"Phone Booth" meets "A Wednesday"
1 November 2010
(1/2)Sanjay Dutt being a wonderful actor could have done much better.But it appeared like he is still in the hangover of Billa Of Musafir.Irrfan was a treat.Good to see Gulshan after a long time.

(1/2)Story of Knock Out is a take on corruption.But lot of potholes.The identity of Sanjay Dutt is hilarious.The money transaction scenes are equally dumb.

(0/2)Direction is forgettable."A Wednesday" with similar plot was wonderfully executed.

(0/2)Music is unmentionable.One can only remember Irrfan's dance number outside booth.It was the only time when people do enjoyed the movie.

(1/2)About the X-FACTOR.Watching 2 veterans (Sanjay and Irrfan) is a delight though the direction ruined the movie.

Peepli [Live] (2010)
9/10
Chola Maati ke Raam
1 November 2010
(2/2)Actors have done their job in the most remarkable way.Raghuveer Yadav can win an Oscar for that but alas Academy is Bollywood- blind.Omkar Das is very natural.The actor playing reporter Deepak is a revelation.Aamir could have done a cameo.

(2/2)The story is a wonderful satire.Rizvi being a retired-reporter knew the nuts and bolts of the dirty business.The subplot of Hori Mehto remind us of Do Bheega Zamin.

(1/2)Direction of Rizvi collapsed in the last half hour of the movie.The subplot was wasted and climax was done in a hurry.

(2/2)The music/score is this year's best.Indian Ocean are superb.Chola Mati ke Raam,Mehngai Daayan,Desh Mera,Aadmi are all well crafted.

(2/2)Yes,the movie do have a X-FACTOR.Well paced and presented in the current inflation scenario.

Tahalka (1992)
8/10
Shom Shom Shamo Sha-Sha
29 October 2010
It's a treat for you if you liked Elaan-e-Jung and Farishtay.Reason?Exactly,the same storyline.After Farishtay,Anil Sharma's another action packed pot-boiler.The plot of a tyrant King/General is Director Sharma's trademark now.Also casting Dharmendra is another ritual now.

But Anil Sharma's direction is distinguishable from the scores of similar plotted movies released in early 90s.

Old Dharmendra tried hard to flex his muscles but in vain.

The song involving the 3 actors as drag-queen is hilarious and strongly recommended.

Amrish Puri as Gen.Dong of Dongrila is a delight.He is undoubtedly the best actor to play the primary antagonist in a bollywood pot-boiler.Shom Shom Shamo Sha-Sha.
