Dil Dhadakne Do

Dil Dhadakne Do

2015 · Bollyspice · Jun 2015

...manages to state a point which many Indian kids struggle to explain to their parents – that every relation in addition to love also needs space to grow. In spite of the faults, DDD will definitely manage to bring a smile to your face when you walk out of the theatre. Do watch.

NH10

NH10

2015 · Bollyspice · Mar 2015

NH10 makes an impact on you because the movie stays away from outlandish Bollywood drama – most of the times – and puts forth a day gone wrong situation which could happen to anyone. If you caught yourself looking over your shoulder more than once on the way back home you know this movie made an impact on you. Don't miss this one.

Mardaani

Mardaani

2014 · Bollyspice · Aug 2014

Rani's mardaani Shivani is a close second to Sarfarosh's Ajay Rathod and that is saying something. In spite of a couple of flaws, this is still a very good movie to have come out in a long time. It's definitely worth a watch.

Go Goa Gone

Go Goa Gone

2013 · Bollyspice · May 2013

The gory stuff may be less and the movie is not that scary but the directors have managed to take a genre totally alien to what is dished out to us and make it into something that we would love.

Gippi

Gippi

2013 · Bollyspice · May 2013

Riya Vij is simply adorable as Gippi and there is an earnestness and confidence visible on screen which is pretty commendable for a first timer.

The Dirty Picture

The Dirty Picture

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Once in a while comes a movie which dares to break the conventional decorum and bring something new to the audience especially something which the audience enjoys. In spite of some flaws The Dirty Picture manages to do just that. Take a bow Ms. Balan. You definitely are entertainment!

Shakal Pe Mat Ja

Stanley Ka Dabba

Stanley Ka Dabba

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Stanley Ka Dabba is definitely worth a watch for the simple reason that it has a pure soul. No unnecessary frills added just to increase commercial value of the movie.

Murder 2

Murder 2

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Overall the movie is extremely violent and gruesome – if you thought Ghajini was violent then this one is ten notches higher. But Mohit, who has already dealt with the subject of human trafficking in Kalyug, manages to bring a new and different product for the viewers. Watch it if you have the guts. Stay away if you expect another Murder

Bheja Fry 2

You can safely give this one a miss. Watch this only if you want to get your Bheja fried.

Raaz 3

Raaz 3

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

With movies like Cabin in the Woods around, Raaz 3 seems very silly to say the least. Maybe, if the Bhatts thought further from jaadu-tona, we could get a horror movie which actually does make our spines chill.

Joker

Joker

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

With a baseline that sounded interesting enough, I was hoping for a more entertaining and enjoyable fare. Although really not that bad as some are making it out to be, there is no doubt that this Joker could have been funnier.

OMG! Oh My God

OMG! Oh My God

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

f one talks about the other aspects of the film, from music to cinematography, they all seem pretty decent. If this movie works for you it's because of Paresh and the fresh take at religion. Go watch it. It might be ages since we come across a decent comedy.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari

Ferrari Ki Sawaari

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Ferrari ki Sawaari assures an entertaining ride throughout although it is more bumpy than it should have been. Nevertheless, such clean, heart tugging movies are fewer to come by which is why I would ask you to not miss it. I am sure the kids will love this Sawaari!

Rowdy Rathore

Rowdy Rathore

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

What could have been a whistle-blowing fun ride ends up being a half-baked dish. If you are a Prabhu Deva fan, you will be disappointed. If you are an Akshay fan, you might just end up cheering the loudest for him. Watch this if you are in a mood for some mindless, time pass entertainment this weekend.

Vicky Donor

Vicky Donor

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Hats off to John Abraham for supporting such a wonderful movie. In an age where the people forget the movie the moment you step out of the cinema hall, Vicky Donor makes sure you walk off the theatres with a smile on your face revisiting the scenes with your friends. A great weekend treat; don't miss it.

Ishaqzaade

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Ishaqzaade's story may not be new but there are moments which you love and the performances which stay with you. Do watch this for the new phataka, Parineeti Chopra.

Jannat 2

Jannat 2

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

With a gripping first half and a slightly dragging second one, Jannat 2 has its share of pluses and minuses. My suggestion? Go watch this for the wonderful performances of Emraan and Randeep.

Kahaani

Kahaani

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Kahaani is an amazing product AND a great entertainer. Watch it for Sujoy who delivers his best till date. Watch it for aamhar Kolkata which looks dangerous and sexy. Watch it for Vidya, who like music director Shekhar said, is the new hero.

Housefull 2

Housefull 2

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

My rating might confuse you a little considering I have not really said many positive things about this movie. But here's the fact: whether you like this movie or not definitely depends on where you see it and with whom. If you watch this in a multiplex, you might want to find Sajid and strangle him. But if you watch this a theatre with the 'mass' crowd with a group of friends – like I did – after a stressful day, you might end up enjoying this brainless caper.

Agent Vinod

Agent Vinod

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Overall, the story has flaws, there is too much travelling to make you go dizzy and it's not the Raghavan you wanted that you see. But it's not all that bad either. The movie works in bits and parts and shines in a few sequences. A one-time watch.

Ekk Deewana Tha

Ekk Deewana Tha

2012 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

EDT is not one of the greatest romances ever told. Nor is it an entire disaster. No matter which end you choose to watch the movie with, I am sure for all those in love, there will be things you might connect to –the silliness of first love, the wooing or the pain of one sided love. Go watch if you are an ardent fan of romance.
