Thanks for all the feedback I got for the first part. I will address one common comment that came my way….specific individual seat related queries/comments have been answered separately.I got quite some comments saying my first part of analysis seemed lenient or favouring BJP! A major factor in my analysis was based on how parties had performed in ... more...

Elections round the corner mean endless TV watching, following news, endless predictions by all and sundry. In pre-voting machine days it also meant whole days devoted to catching up on trends and leads while following countingJMore so for people like me who do not abhor politics and take it very seriously. I have been an avid follower of Indian po... more...

Thoughts from the experience of Delhi Bl...
Life@epicenter of blasts – Sep 16th 2008Sep 13th 2008 will be forever etched in my mind. On that day Delhi was rocked by a series of blasts. Mostly in crowded market places. I was in Delhi during that time sight-seeing, visiting places just like any other tourist would do. I am just trying to pen the thoughts that have crossed my mind since!We read... more...

Shammi Kapoor turns 75!
A couple of weeks ago, Oct 21st to be precise, Shammi Kapoor turned 75. Shammi Kapoor is and always will be my all-time favourite, so what if he had long moved into character roles by the time I was born! There are others whom I like a lot be it Amitabh or Dharmendra or Sunny Deol or Govinda or Aamir or Hrithik but no one comes even near to him. Sh... more...

What ails DON!!
As mentioned in my previous post, here is why I would avoid this movie: Farhan Akhtar’s Don releases this Friday in what is expected to be the highest grossing weekend ever in the history of Hindi cinema. This is due to the fact that another highly anticipated movie, with top stars like Akshay / Salman is also releasing on the same day. There are a... more...

This year has been amazing for Hindi film lovers. There have been numerous different movies hitting the marquee and they have made their mark. There have been movies which wowed the critics, movies which wowed the masses and movies which managed both. Box office has never been this big.

Naksha - Movie Review
Naksha – Unlock the mystery!This is the latest movie to hit the screen and again I could not help but end up among the folks lining up to watch the preview. The trailers promised a good time and promotions hinged on this being a “different masala” kind of movie. This also marked the return of Sunny Deol after quite a hiatus.First the story – Two ar... more...

Movie Review -- Darwaza Bandh Rakho
Darwaza Bandh Rakho was touted as a comedy coming from RGV’s factory after a string on action/scary movies. Chekravarthy directs this movie and considering his previous ventures (anyone unfortunate enough to view Durga would agree) and the star cast of this one, the expectations were zilch. After watching a lacklustre Anthony… you anyway don’t want... more...

Movie Review -- Anthony Kaun Hai?
The trailers promised a good time what with a tried and tested Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi combination. The expectations were built up with the sleek promos and some good (now mandatory) Himesh numbers. The movie being inspired by an English movie and being directed by a guy who has given only duds in the past were the dampeners which reduced expe... more...

Omkara - A Movie Review
Omkara is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello. The expectation from the movie is huge due to the accomplished names associated with it, both on and off the screen. As also that it is the first time some filmmaker has attempted to adapt a tragic Shakespearean drama. I watched the movie yesterday in the paid preview and here is my take on it.Omkar... more...
