Once upon a time there was a movie that touched the senses, the soul, and the heart. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Saawariya” is an eternal film that transports the viewers across time and space into a world that exists just beyond our ordinary lives. The film is like an ethereal spirit that lovingly brushes the back of your heart in the dark and leaves a haunting impression upon your soul.

Cut the crap, cut the gyan-baazi, cut the will-it-won’t-it work naatak. Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan’s OM SHANTI OM is a true-blue masala entertainer. If MAIN HOON NA was a chauka, this one hits a sixer!

A grand old stage vet experiences a tragic downfall when he ventures into his first starring film role in “The Last Lear,” Rituparno Ghosh’s badly calculated behind-the-scenes meller that exhibits a peculiar contemptuousness toward movies and moviemaking. A decidedly serious dramatization of Utpal Dutt’s play, “Aajker Shahjahan” (The Emperor Today), and also partially made to honor superstar Amitabh Bachchan — here incredibly in his first primarily English-lingo pic — Ghosh’s handling is stodgy and dull and calls out for trimming. Local auds and non-resident Indian fans will flock to see this unusual Bachchan project and will patiently look past work’s myriad problems.

‘Heyy Babyy’ starts off very well but begins to lose steam mid-way. Thankfully, Akshay Kumar shows his incredible comic flair once again and invokes genuine laughs from the audience. The movie has many hilarious scenes but the ones featuring Akshay turn out to be the best.

However, the dilemma is that Marigold cannot dance. But for some weird inexplicable reason Prem is smitten, and makes it his personal mission to make Marigold ‘feel the music’. Marigold, on her part, cannot resist Prem’s sleepy eyes, patient Indian culture, and is especially delighted when she knows that he doesn’t want to sleep with her.

With the success of past Hollywood hits such as “Bend It Like Beckham” and “Monsoon Wedding,” more film companies are trying to merge Indian and western cultures into a movie. “Marigold” writer Willard Carroll, known for “Playing by Heart” and “The Brave Little Toaster,” makes a considerable attempt at bringing the two cultures together in this campy love story.

The girls have never known the thrilling energy of being Team India. Of giving their all to see their country’s name on a trophy. But Kabir Khan, once a captain, now forgotten, does. He knows what it takes to get there. And what it means to return empty handed. This time, he wants to make sure that it’s different. He knows there are no second chances. Despite his past, he believes that if only the girls played as one, anything would be possible.

Fans of singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya will be quite pleased with his debut film as an actor – Aap Ka Suroor : The Moviee: The Real Luv Story’.

Every family member watches out for the other, that’s the thought Baldev Singh (Dharmendra) leads his life by. After an unsuccessful career in boxing, convicted of doping charges, he asks his son Angad (Sunny Deol) to make him proud in the ring. But Angad refuses, as he opts for an alternative career. This refusal comes at a cost, that of hostility between father and son.

I have never been an Emraan Hashmi fan but have to say this, after watching Awaarapan, I would be a fool not to praise the actor for giving such a power-packed performance in a film which doesn’t really have the potential to appeal to the masses, all thanks to a bland story line coupled with mediocre dialogues. In spite of the multiple drawbacks in the film, Hashmi holds on to his own and delivers the finest performance of his career.
