A film like Guzaarish isn’t made for the box office. It’s made for the gratification of the senses. And that it does, in ample measure.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai offers you both substance and soul, even as it dabbles with a slice of reality. Don’t miss it.

The actors are having a ball, that’s evident. The scriptwriter ( Abhishek Sharma) is just loving it: making digs on America’s war against terror. And the viewers are in for some breezy fun. Savour the satire.

Thematically, I Hate Luv Storys, is extremely simplistic, uni-layered and terribly predictable.

Take time out for a serious and compelling celluloid experience. Don’t miss Raajneeti.

Badmaash Company may not be as buoyant as Bunty aur Babli, the original badmash couple in recent cinema, but it does make for some merry viewing.

Don’t expect time-pass entertainment. Think beyond run-of-the-mill and see how Ekta Kapoor re-invents herself as the producer of contemporary Indian cinema’s first full-blown experimental film.

In the end, Wake Up Sid becomes a sort of template of how GenNow navigate their lives: deal with their own little rebellions, find meaning to their own definitions of independence and handle their own set of mistakes. It feels good when the two friends finally meet in driving rain under the grey skies by the sea. Refreshing and heart-warming, Wake Up Sid really puts you in the mood for love.

…this time, the effervescence and adrenalin rush of impetuous love, resonant in the romance of Geet and Aditya in Jab We Met, has been replaced by a more serious and realistic take on modern love. The film literally holds up a mirror to the commitment phobia of the young, successful professionals who keep changing their status from `committed’ to `single’ on the sundry social networking sites. Much to the chagrin of their dads and mums who fail to understand this emotional dilettantism and keep badgering them with love-of-a-lifetime cliches.

The film may not have done well in its Tamil version (Kuselan), but Priyadarshan has suitably peppered it with some heart-tugging moments to make it a moving ode to friendship and ordinariness. Of course, Irrfan manages to invest the ordinary with kingly glow, even as Shah Rukh lends the glamour quotient with his filmy naach-gaana.
