The Mummy

The Mummy

2017 · KoiMoi · Jun 2017

The Mummy is just another Tom Cruise film where the 54-year old continues to sell us his man-child image. Neither scary nor engaging, we are certainly not looking forward to a sequel.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

1995 · KoiMoi · Nov 2015

This is one film that will make you laugh, blush, cry and bring you out of the theaters smiling. Again, it is a must-watch for one and all and the best part is, this one is a complete family entertainer. You may not be the one to believe in true love but there is no harm to watch it on celluloid. For me, this film certainly holds a special place and as lovesick as I can be, I would surely hope there are 'Raj-Simran' love stories out there, everywhere.

Hero is not Kal Ho Na Ho or D-Day, it is a rather faulty film made by the same director.

Nonetheless, for Bollywood buffs this is a decent watch with great music and the typical 'Hindi cinema' storyline.
