Director: Sachin Khot

Pritish Nandy Communications - the makers of the rib-tickling comedy, ‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects’, have come up with a romantic comedy, ‘Ugly Aur Pagli’. With a catchy title, the flick is directed by […]

Maker of films like Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost, Ek Ajnabee and Shootout At Lokhandwala, director Apoorva Lakhia is blessed with immense talent but his interest in particular techinique of film making takes a toll on other parts of the film. In Mission Istaanbul’s case, he has discovered unconventional love for action stunts.

Money Hai Toh Honey Hai provides a dose of horrifying music, over the ‘bored’ acting performances, stale dialogues and no comic relief whatsoever. Ganesh Acharya, director of a decent flick like Swami, will have to rethink over his abilities to choose a script and cast while making a film.

No one other than Ram Gopal Varma comes close to exploring the various facets of the underworld through his films. The director means business, and he starts off with his task of presenting a new insight on the underworld with his new film – Contract.

Pleasant stories touch the heart and the same is the case with Kismat Konnection. Director Aziz Mirza does not try anything unusual in his latest venture as he brings across the grievances of unfulfilled wishes.

Afzal Khan’s Mehbooba has been in the making since 2002, thereby ,making the look of the film belonging to the goneby era of film making. The lavish sets, the item number, the comedy scenes all assemble to make a film which could have run to packed houses if it was released in the late 90s.

So what if the treatment […]

There is absolutely nothing to fall in love with this Love Story set in the techy show-out of 2050. Curses and cribbing will come out of your heart for this film which deceived one and all with its promising promos. However, loyal RS readers would have been benefitted by the preview of this film which predicted the downfall of this film.

It would be foolish to underestimate a child’s intelligence, especially in the 21st century where parents find it hard to match the wit of their children. Amidst the tough times of Bollywood, Yash Raj Banners have trusted Kunal Kohli, director of hits like Fanaa and Hum Tum to fool the children with their latest flick – Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic.
