Dedh Ishqiya

2014 · Zee News · Jan 2014

With a cast boasting of pro names of showbiz like Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz, Arshad, Huma and last but not the least, Madhuri, `Dedh Ishqiya` is a dark gem for the connoisseurs of this genre. Madhuri exudes a charming aura on-screen, and Huma rules every frame she appears on. The chemistry between Madhuri and Naseer saab looks a tad forced perhaps because of their wide age gap, but we will go for the madcap tricks cooked up by the duo Babban and Khalu.

Special 26

2013 · Zee News · Dec 2013

'Special 26' has all the required ingredients to keep a viewer's attention intact till the very end and trust me this is one film that you won't regret watching, if you truly liked 'A Wednesday'. Here's a pat on Neeraj's back for exploring a territory of thriller movie making that demands an eye for detail whilst keeping the entertainment values in place.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein

2013 · Zee News · Nov 2013

...is a clean, light hearted and fun film but don't go to watch it keeping your expectations too high. If you are sucker for Rom-Coms, especially the Karan Johar kinds, and if you have not watched a film in a long while, then chances are you might enjoy it.

Shuddh Desi Romance

2013 · Zee News · Sept 2013

Although not as good as 'Band Baaja Baarat' and 'Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl', Maneesh Sharma's third directorial venture is jhataak, peppy and colourful but still turns out only to be a onetime watch!

Chennai Express

2013 · Zee News · Aug 2013

If you ignore the few clichés (the repetition of 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' scenes and the lines that we have heard SRK speaking in his popular films), the lack of punch in the script and even the high predictability factor, then you are onboard for a fun ride with 'Chennai Express'!

Ship of Theseus

2013 · Zee News · Jul 2013

Anand Gandhi's film should be strictly watched for three reasons: a) If you like challenging your intellect b) If you love art cinema c) If you want your eyes to absorb Pankaj Kumar's spellbinding visuals.

Raanjhanaa

2013 · Zee News · Jun 2013

Be it for its technical pros or for Dhanush's Bollywood debut, 'Raanjhanaa' makes for a good watch this weekend. Four stars for 'Raanjhanaa'!

Kai Po Che!

2013 · Zee News · May 2013

There has not been a single stone left unturned to capture even the nitty-gritty of the book for the film's screenplay. That is where the real beauty of 'Kai Po Che' lies – in the details!

Aatma

2013 · Zee News · Apr 2013

On a general note, 'Aatma' does not belong to the league of those horror films that leave a powerful impact on your mind for days, read: 'The Exorcist', 'Grudge' recalling a few. Instead, hopefully it will leave you without any fear of the unknown lurking in your heart. Signing off on an optimistic note, 'Aatma 2' takes the genre of horror films a notch higher.

The Attacks of 26/11

2013 · Zee News · Mar 2013

It is a film that is completely performance driven. I would like to throw a word of praise for the casting director here. Debutante Sanjeev Jaiswal, as one of the two key members of the cast, has worked extremely well to portray Ajmal Kasab`s character onscreen. For Nana, this film substantiates the fact that he can pull off thoughtful, powerful and serious roles like a pro.

Zila Ghaziabad

2013 · Zee News · Mar 2013

Well, watch it only and only if you don't have anything more interesting to do this weekend.

Life of Pi

2012 · Zee News · Dec 2012

Overall, the elements weaved into the concept of the movie are just like the clear pool water after which Pi was named, and it is up to oneself to decide what lesson comes out of 'Life of Pi'!

Teri Meri Kahaani

2012 · Zee News · Nov 2012

The foot tapping songs such as "Mukhtasar", "Uff" and "Humse Pyaar Karle Tu" are well-written, melodiously sung and deftly choreographed. All in all, 'Teri Meri kahaani' is not Kunal Kohli's best work but still is a light watch sans any vulgarity.

Aiyyaa

2012 · Zee News · Nov 2012

The movie is a (nonsensical) 'fairy tale 'of a middle-class Maharashtrian girl called Meenakshi (Rani Mukerji) who yearned to be an actress but eventually settled down with a job in an art college.Meenakshi is melodramatic and a dreamer who escapes into her fantasy land anytime and anywhere. While Meenakshi is a dreamer, the girl's family is no less and somewhat remind you of characters of 'The Addams Family'.In straight words, 'Aiyya' is not a script badly handled rather it is a script wrongly written. We can only hope that Sachin Kundalkar doesn't repeat his mistake and make his audience go 'Aiyyaa' in pain again.
