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.

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

Be Kind Rewind - 2008 - Michel Gondry

February 28, 2008 · No Comments

imafee.jpgMos Def and Jack Black are the village idiots left in charge of a falling down video shop – allegedly the birthplace of jazz legend Fats Wallace. In a bid to rescue the joint they remake video classics like Robo-Cop, the Rush Hour franchises and Driving Miss Daisy. In parts hilarious but disjointed, occasionally flirts with being a cheesy community movie. JJ

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
