વ્યક્તિ જ્યારે 100 વરસ પૂરા કરે છે ત્યારે તે ઘટના જાદુઈ અને અકલ્પનિય હોય છે ખરેખર, જેઓએ સદી ફટકારી છે તેઓ સારૂં નસીબ ધરાવે છે અને ભગવાન તેમના પક્ષમાં છે તેવાજ છે હોમી રૂસ્તમજી મહેતા 23મી જૂન 1917 ના રોજ કામા પાર્કમાં જન્મેલા તે ‘યુવાન’ માણસ. હોટલ કાર્લ રેસીડન્સી (અંધેરી) ખાતે છેલ્લા શુક્રવારના દિવસે આ […]
To begin with, there’s something about the title — it may seem both bizarre and mystifying. There’s nothing but comedy and romance in the film, though. Kumail Nanjiani (Kumail Nanjiani) — the Dinesh in the HBO comedy series Silicon Valley — a Pakistani by birth but an American through upbringing is a part-time standup comedian […]
Rarely does one come across a film on crime with high-octane car-chase sequences, accompanied by an ear-pleasing soundtrack. Baby Driver (Ansel Elgort) suffers from a constant ringing in his ears – a result of a car accident in his childhood that killed his parents – but compensates for his disability by perennially donning earphones and […]
After ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ in which the Kabir Khan-Salman Khan film had overtones of Indo-Pak amity, the duo now train their sights on our Eastern neighbour. Jagatpur, in Kumaon, is the abode of Laxman Singh Bisht (Salman Khan) and younger brother Bharat (real-life brother Sohail). Laxman is derisively called ‘tubelight’ — the Indian connotation for a […]
Riteish Deshmukh and Vivek Oberoi provided some antics in their ‘Masti’ series. In the long awaited ‘Bank Chor’ (the title’s refrain sounds conveniently like the Indian expletive — and one guesses, deliberately so), Champak Chandrakant Chiplunkar (RD) and his inept cronies from Delhi, Genda (Vikram Thapa) and Gulab (Bhuvan Arora) hijack a bank. In the […]
This film by any other name would have been just the same. The film begins impressively with a high-angle shot of a cremation in a village. Cut to a village simpleton Phullu (Sharib Hashmi) staying with his mother (Nutan Surya) and sister Tara (Trisha). Phullu runs errands for the women-folk of the village, doing their […]
A confession at the outset would be in order: though musically inclined, I am neither a fan nor an aficionado of the rap denomination of music. All Eyez On Me is the short-lived but eventful life led by rapper, actor, lyricist and activist Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp Jr.) — his mother Afeni (Danai Gurira) was […]
Isn’t that taken for granted or rather, the accepted standard, the unwritten covenant that one should love one’s family? In the film Love U Family, written and produced by Vipul Devani and helmed by Sachindra Sharma, the makers have gone to great lengths to depict the natural ties of a family — and its binding […]
If you want to spend a tranquil, placid three hours with your beloved, this is the film for you— buy a ticket or two and send your mother-in-law to the cinema. Still interested in reading the review? Then read on… Shiv (Sushant Singh Rajput), the quintessential cocky Punjabi boy with the six-pack chocolate-boy looks goes […]
