Sassy and slick, Raja Natwarwal is a con caper done up in playful shades and mischievous flavour. It’s enjoyable while it lasts. But you don’t come away with anything besides the feeling that the material should have carried for heft. If only everyone was not busy being someone they are not.

The self-awarded 4 stars on its poster notwithstanding Singham Returns delivers quite punch-filled sequel to the cops-and-politicians game plan Shetty and Devgn had assembled in the original Singhammovie.

Everything is brighter bouncier and more urgent. There are speeding vehicles and hurling invectives, seedy politicians and morally ambivalent mediapersons who may or may not be the nation’s conscience-keepers of the nation.

Kick toh banta hai, boss! The number of times the word ‘kick’ kicks into this heady cocktail of comedy and action, you’d think there’s no word in the dictionary that gives our hero a greater kick than…well, kick.

Luckily the film never needs to run into any mortifying roadblocks.It’s a smooth ride all the way . FromAmit Sharma’s Ms Perfect(Anindita Nayar, tres chic ) to his Miss Imperfect’s pet dog, every character here has a mind of its own.

Ditto the film. It has a heart and brains. Go for it.

Pizza is a fear fest with a yummy twist at the tale’s end. Unlike other films of the horror genre this one doesn’t depend on excessive gore to send shivers up our spine. Director Akshay Akkineni creates an eerie aura in one specific house of horror and ramshackle havelis being passé, this one unfolds in a spanking upmarket bungalow.

And then Akkineni turns around and mocks our response of horror and fear. The premise is interesting and intriguing.

Yup, Pizza delivers.

This quirky charmer from first-time director Nitin Kakkar is fresh in vision and enchanting in execution.The only happy outcome of the cross-border divide is a heartwarming film such as this.As we often say about the Wagah border, this you gotta see.

This , then, is that entertainer which tells you that cinema about terrorism need not be dark and grim. Murugadoss keeps the going light-hearted, and yet the undercurrents of tension jump out of the screen to relentlessly claim our attention . Akshay’s character’s basic argument that terrorism can only be countered when the counter-terrorists are as fearless about losing their lives as the terrorists, is put forward with such gusto and conviction,we really can’t argue with the plot premise.

Citylights would remain with me for a long time. Gripping glorious and unforgettable, it is a shattering life-changing experience.

Hero-panti is a full-on paisa vasool Sajid Nadiadwala entertainer. It doesn’t quite measure up to the requirements of the theme of honour killing that it so valiantly puts forward. But as a masala entertainer that has more to say than one would expect from a film of this nature Hero-panti gets its fundas right.

So who said the world of the makebelieve had to follow any rules? Yup, there is no business like show business. This whodunit means business.The suspense drama is bright, bouncy,believable and entertaining.
