Race - 2008 - Abbas, Mastan

May 9, 2008 · No Comments

Race is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. A flawless story unveils a litany of suspenseful moments. Saif-Ali Khan and Akshay Khanna are at their best - 10 out for 10 for the script. Neha Kumar.

Jodha Akbar - 2008 - Ashutosh Gowariker

May 7, 2008 · No Comments

A masterpiece portraying the life of Akbar, the legendary Mughal Emperor, and his marriage to his Hindu-wife Jodha Bai. Aish looks stunning in her some 100 kgs of Tanishq jewelery. At more than three hours long it’s one to watch, once. Neha Kumar.

Welcome - 2007 - Aneez Bazmee

April 7, 2008 · No Comments

Welcome is a rubbish comedy, which inexplicably topped the box office charts. Am I completely wrong, or is there something seriously something wrong with our Bollywood audience, who are willing to endorse a nonsense film like this? Welcome is guilty of gross overacting and nothing seems natural about this movie. It simply sucks! Neha Kumar

Aaja Nachle - 2007 - Anil Mehta

April 3, 2008 · 1 Comment

images.jpgMadhuri Dixit makes a neat comeback but despite her flawless performance, this movie lacks a uniqueness and sophistication in the script. The superb sound track makes it a one-time watch, plus you get to see Dixit back on the stage, shaking her booty. Neha Kumar

Salaam-e-Ishq - 2007 - Nikhil Advani

March 15, 2008 · 1 Comment

bollywood.jpgSplit in to six separate narratives, each movie has a happy, loving ending. Advani has done a good job in combining elements such as romance, humour, tragedy, leading to understanding the emotion of love. Whilst the movie is only a one-time watch, the songs make up for it all! Neha Kumar

Dus Kahaniyan - 2007 - Various

February 25, 2008 · No Comments

dk.jpgThis Bollywood movie is a compilation of 10 different stories, which have a flavour of thrill, action, suspense, romance and the occasional morality tale. It’s very different from the regular Hindi-movie format and very beautifully done. Most of the stories are enjoyable, but you may find the odd dud. Neha Kumar

Om Shanti Om – 2007 – Farah Khan

January 31, 2008 · No Comments

10m12.jpgOm, an inspiring actor during the 1970s, is murdered but reborn in the present day. He attempts to get everything he couldn’t in his previous life – the stardom and the love of his life. Whilst the film is boring, Shah Rukh Khan’s six packs and newcomer Deepika are simply yummy! Neha Kumar

Taare Zameen Par - 2007 - Aamir Khan

January 21, 2008 · 2 Comments

images4.jpegIshaan is an eight year old boy whose struggles at school are compounded by parental and peer pressure. This emotional film carries a message for parents, who are pushy, and only interested in their kids’ academic achievements rather than their unique strengths. A heart-winning story! Neha Kumar

Ali does a fantastic job developing an intimate link despite a personality clash between two strangers who meet on a train. Shahid is dejected with life while Kareena is full of zeal, living life on her own terms. Uplifting, with great performances along with a melodious soundtrack. Neha Kumar
