    Mayamohini – Hilarious and Paisa Vasool

    Male actors doing female characters is not a new theme. We have seen Charlie Chaplin, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams John Travolta and Kamala Hassan in India doing characters of that sort. But Dileep’s Maya Mohini was slightly different. If you look at many of the actors I mentioned above and remember their characters they were all clothed in so much fabric and played an over weight character where it is quite easy to hide the masculinity. But in Mayamohini Dileep [...]

  • Vicky Donor – The entertaining sperms

    Vicky Donor – The entertaining sperms

    I think it is the time for simple movies to take the reign of the film industry. Bold and never thought out themes being played out by new talents bring so much good feeling to the film goer. Vick Donor is a simple movie that has quite an unusual story line, the story of a sperm donor. The lead is played well by Ayushmann Khurrana whom I don’t remember seeing in any other movie. The role is not a very [...]

  • The Nonsensical King and the Commissioner

    The Nonsensical King and the Commissioner

    It should be true that you have to pay for every sin you commit, in this life itself, nothing is taken forward after death. I paid a part of my dues by watching the Malayalam Movie “The King and the Commissioner” last Thursday which was bringing together the characters of two successful movies from the past “The King” by Mammootty and “The Commissioner” By Suresh Gopi. Since both the previous movies had released more than a decade ago, they could [...]

  • Kahaani – A Fast Paced Thriller

    Kahaani – A Fast Paced Thriller

    Kahaani is already being reviewed as a good movie, Celebrity tweeters and common men all have in one voice said it is a nice thriller. More than the Thriller I liked the movie for being fast paced and much shorter that usual Bollywood flicks and that it did not unnecessarily drag even a bit. The ace effort was some good casting and characters in the story. Vidya Balan fit perfectly well into the role and I guess her first role in [...]

  • Was the new Agneepath Unnecessary? May be Not

    Was the new Agneepath Unnecessary? May be Not

    This was my first take on the movie and my review was going to be the shortest “Agneepath was an unnecessary film”. The main reason being that you really don’t have to try and get your hand dirty on remakes just because it is a trend. But then when I thought the movie is not at all tragic like the fiasco ‘Aag’ from RamGopal Varma which still holds the top rank and is a model for film makers to know [...]
