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 [...]
Jeremy Seiferts Documentary ‘Dive’ opens you to the world of waste. Not just waste, but waste that can solve the problems of the world. Not just any problems, but problem of hunger on which millions of dollars have been wasted in theories, solutions and contemplation.

They pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me watch myself in [...]

What is Dirty about ‘The Dirty Picture”? Well that was the main idea, naming it that way the dirtiness if any gets covered by the name. It is true that many would have watched the movie with the same emotions when they watched a Silk movie in the 80s. At a time when heroines are more revealing than Silk in 80s Vidya has done justice to the changing times. The casting was right with Vidya Balan as she fit perfectly [...]
