The Worst of Bollywood: 2012
Frankly, this is one article I look forward to writing each year. It takes a great deal of patience and hard research to compile this list, but in the end it’s all worth it. Just in case you are wondering, a few Hall of Famers do not qualify. That includes RGV and other Jokers. They [...]
Let Us Leave Honey Singh Alone
I begin this post with a cliché: I am not a Honey Singh fan. I don’t find his songs entertaining, and more often than not they are all but plain bland, Aaye Ram-gaye Ram types. Perhaps I don’t have a taste for his genre of music. The plain and honest truth is: I just don’t [...]
The Top 10 Trailers of 2012: The Promos That Showed Most Promise
As our Marketing professor used to say, “Advertisement is all about creating awareness and curiosity”. And in the world of cinema, the first level of excitement that the film garners among its audience is through its trailer.

Growing up with the Big B: A Personal Tribute to Amitabh Bachchan
I have always wanted to write this post and what better day for this than today when Amitabh Bachchan celebrates his 70th birthday.

Hum : Ek Hi Hai ‘TIGER’
During the late 80’s , the Amitabh Bachchan mania had begun to decline with most of his films failing at the box office. Even films such as Jaadugar, Toofan etc made by his most trusted directors such as Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai were an embarrassment to Big B’s filmography. Much like his peers such as [...]
Partners In Rhyme : Amit Trivedi & Amitabh Bhattacharya

Agneepath From a Dummy’s Perspective
Enough has been said and discussed about Dharma Productions’ retake on the 1990 classic. So I am not going to contribute anything new from a movie review point of view. However I thought there was still some merit in a reasonably objective perspective on ‘Agneepath 2011′, coming from someone who has seen bits and pieces [...]
Agneepath! The Retelling!
Kya Dekhne Aaya Tha! Kya Dekh Ke Chala Gaya! That is exactly how I was feeling as I walked out of the theatre after watching Agneepath! The very name induces goosebumps in every Big B fan worth his salt. We have all grown up hearing the stories about how Amitabh tried a different voice modulation [...]
