I never thought I will ever like a Salman Khan action movie. The over the top action sequences, the shirt buttons popping out as the hero flexes his muscles, the one punch 10 men down scenes and a whole lot of South Indian movie inspired action is what Salman Khan's usual action flicks are layered with. But Tiger Zinda Hai is an exception....
Reality television has become a darling of Indian television lately. Be it Bigg Boss, Super Dancer, Jhalakk Dikh La Ja or many others in the league, they all garner high TRPs irrespective of competetion with cricket matches & news channels. So what makes reality television click? Why do people switch in to watch strangers compete and win? Well the answer is simple. Reality...
When Mr. Bruce Banner had to come India for an experiment, he decided to stay at his friend's place in Andheri. Not so good idea considering his lab was situated in Churchgate, but Mr. Banner never had a problem traveling in trains, not in the states at least. Bruce Banner is waiting at Andheri station for his Churchgate train and has already started...
When Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced that he was making a movie on the life of the great queen "Rani Padmavati", everyone was elated. Given his sense of taking creative freedom, we all knew there was trouble and roadblocks even with this movie, just like they were for Bajirao Mastani. Bajirao Mastani and Devdas had faced trouble as well While showing Kashibai and Mastani...
"Vidya Balan" as a brand stands for meaningful, simple and close to heart emotional yet entertaining performer. "Tumhari Sulu" has all of it, be it humor or be it simple life moments showcased beautifully on screen, the movie really succeeds in connecting the audience to the unpretentious Sulochana's life story.
The first half will really make you laugh, there are bits of laughter spread throughout the film and none of them feel forced. The funny scenes take you back to your own memories because those very things are either the ones you yourself have done or craved to do, that's a sign of a great film maker and Suresh Triveni succeeds at that.
The music is awesome with Sridevi's "Hawa Hawai" recreated in the most decent manner and "Ban Ja Tu Meri Rani" integrated beautifully in the story line. Cinematic subtle representations like the pigeon flying out of the house and then coming back are noteworthy too as they are beautifully placed in the scenes where required.
While I still feel the climax could have been better explained; being away from the ghisa pita love triangles and action maar dhaad, the movie is a refreshing watch indeed.

Tumhari Sulu has Hrishikesh Mukherjee cinema feel to it
Suresh Triveni's direction reminds of the legend Hrishikesh Mukherjee style of cinema i.e simple, homely and lively characters which elevate the entire script. The casting takes the cake in this one as there are limited characters and one wrong move at the casting table could have made this movie an okay watch. Manav Kaul as Ashok Dubey is absolute treat and as natural as an actor can get. Vidya Balan as Sulochana Dubey a housewife who lets no opportunity to do something out of he routine and win is a perfect fit.Sulu will make you laugh & rejoice
The character Sulu has many layers and that's what makes her believable, because real life people are multi dimensional and have millions of layers of emotions running through them. Sulu as people lovingly call her is happy and content with her life, she is not sobbing about anything. Being a RJ isn't her dream and there's no bullshit of a regressive husband not supporting his wife plot either, that's what makes the script come alive.The first half will really make you laugh, there are bits of laughter spread throughout the film and none of them feel forced. The funny scenes take you back to your own memories because those very things are either the ones you yourself have done or craved to do, that's a sign of a great film maker and Suresh Triveni succeeds at that.

While they all are excellent on their own, the gang of super heroes went a little wobbly this time around. Justice League 2017 consisting of Batman, Superman, Flash, Wonderwoman, Aquaman and Cyborg entertains yet disappoints at many levels, so much so that I dozed off for a while just before the interval. Green Lantern is left out from this movie for some strange...
Well we all have our favorite movies and the ones we hate the most. Being a movie buff I stay away from initial word of mouth and watch the movie myself before judging it, so you will find some obvious ones too here in the list. Below is a list of 5 (there are many more but I am sticking to the top...
When foreigners hear "Bollywood" their first thought is "Musical" or "Song and dance" and we Indians get highly offended by this stereotyping, but wait isn't it true? Aren't all our movies based on song and dance? Forget the fictional ones, our biographies also have song and dance in them which is carefully presented under the cover of "creative freedom". While Malhari from Bajirao...

"Rajeev, you conned me into thinking you were dead. And that too for as long as 11 months. How can you even expect normalcy?" Natasha had lost her cool.

Master Blaster, Cricketing Genius, The Man of the Century, SRT.... We all have heard about Sachin, we all have watched him slay in his matches while we were growing up and we all have seen him struggle with the ducks as well. Now that there's a documentary about to release on Sachin in a few days, I couldn't stop myself from reliving all...
So we all have gone through the thoughts of how everything has changed when compared to our childhoods. Not only has the physical environment around us changed immensely but also our inner self has gone a lot of changes , but are all the inner changes the good ones ? Round 1 of this so called war between Childhood and Adulthood (yes its...
Live life at the edge they say, How do I do that when my life's dependent on pay? What am I doing? What should I be undoing? What is that I am really pursuing? Don't settle for anything but the best they say, But who decides what's the best & how long does it stay that way? What am I doing? What should...
Okay so the other day I caught up with an Aunty after a long long time and while we were talking about the world and the workload it keeps pushing on to us, there was Ironman beating up the bad guys on TV. " What is this? I don't understand the kind of movies that are made today" exclaimed the grey haired epitome...
Life really comes full circle and how. Was cleaning my house a bit today and I came across an old photograph, a class photo from my school days. There I noticed this girl and I couldn’t control my smile. I have seen this girl many times post successfully retiring from school and believe me, every time I saw her I remembered an incident...
