There is something magical going into the movie theatre to see a film from a director who you have followed since the beginning and seen all of their films. The first time really enhances the magic as you watch the screen, and there is plenty of magic of both emotion…

This film is on the list of the first films I watched from Hindi cinema ages, and ages ago. I even have the DVD. It seemed like it was time to revisit this old one I had not seen in a while, and I did not regret it! Summary: In…

This is a re-review since this movie was the first movie I reviewed, and I felt that it needed another go. There are only a few movies in the world that can be considered the ultimate mood lifters, Om Shanti Om is one of them for me. If I am…

I was deciding whether to watch which language version first, the Tamil or the Hindi first since they were shot simultaneously. I decided to watch the Tamil version first, then the Hindi version. The plot is essentially the same in both films, only the actors and style are different to…

Thank you, MUBI, for this find! As a fan of Merchant-Ivory films, it was nice to discover this since I hadn’t heard of this film before. The film is only an hour long, but it has so many layers presented in its short time that leave a sweet, if not…

Ok, first off, I have to say that this a gritty, action-packed film in the best way. Sexy, raw, high-voltage and brutal in an entertaining way. Also. DO NOT LEAVE EARLY! Stay through ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ at the end to see an end credits scene. This is merely the beginning…

This film…just blew me away. I had heard it is a classic and I can see why. It does not pull any punches and filled with atmosphere it was the smoothest 3 hours I spent staring at the screen. Somehow it balances so many things, yet still stays consistent, and…

This is a film that gave me a feeling I thought had been lost, the warm fuzzy feeling in your chest as you laugh at the screen. It kept me smiling all the way through. Summary: Tara Kaul is a Kashmiri Pandit living with her grandfather in Delhi until she…

This was a movie that I liked a lot. It probably won’t be for everyone, there isn’t any mass moments and the stars that do their cameos filter through the narrative without much fanfare. It is a quiet film, yet it keeps you engaged from start to finish, soon enough…

A part of me wishes I would have loved this as much as others did, but here is my honest opinion about this film. Having watched the original did impact on this. Still, a remake should work on its own to keep the heart of the original story intact and…
