Taxi Number 9211
With a title like TAXI NO. 9211, you expect a wacky film. Wacky it is, but there’s more to this film than an unconventional, off the wall theme. The film borrows heavily from life, life in Mumbai in particular.
Slumdog Millionaire
Fanciful, epic and exuberantly paced, Slumdog Millionaire chronicles the life of Jamal Malik, a dirt-poor orphan who captivates the masses as he wins a fortune on India’s most popular quiz show.
Sur - The Melody of Life
With a musical based subject and a title like ‘Sur’ Kreem has come up with an album that’s not only rich in content but also justifies everything that the film seems to be all about. ‘Sur’ is also another example of Lucky Ali’s magical voice and unique style of singing.
Maharathi
MAHARATHI is not one of those Bollywood thrillers where everything, right up to the minutest detail, is spoon-fed to the viewer. Besides, it falters, loses balance and gets clichéd and contrived.
Chandni Chowk To China
On face-value, what do you expect from Chandni Chowk to China? Laughter unlimited, great martial arts, a glimpse of China. But what’s served on the platter is so insipid, so lame, so senseless that you wonder if there was a script in the first place. The comic scenes [that make you laugh] are few and far between.
Ghajini
GHAJINI is a revenge saga, one ingredient that has been the staple diet of Hindi films since time immemorial. It is a powerful film. It has the power to sweep you off your feet from the word ‘go’. It has a riveting story, which has been told with flourish by director A.R. Murugadoss.
